hello there i'm in the left hand you're watching in question broadcasting from our to america's national news has borders in washington d.c. here tonight top stories 1st we are following the money in u.s. elections next week the swiss national who gave over $200000000.00 to president biden and the democrats during the 2020 elections our panel will break it all down plus it's abuse of authority in the classroom one teacher in florida takes discipline a little too far we'll show you all that went down all right it's time to boost your news i knew.
7:01 pm
our top story this hour there are new reports that a swiss billionaire quietly donated almost a quarter $1000000000.00 to groups aligned with the democratic party and its leaders raising questions about the influence of so-called dark money in american politics so who is this billionaire and how is he aligned with the dems are to use john hardy has the story. his name is hans york weeks the founder and former president and c.e.o. of synthes usa a medical device manufacturer born in switzerland but now living in wyoming wheezes long been known to be an active donor to environmental and political causes well a new york times reporter digs even deeper on his most recent donations writing that newly obtained tax filing show that quote 2 of mr what he says organizations a foundation and a nonprofit fun donated 2 $108000000.00 from 2016 through early last year
7:02 pm
to 3 other nonprofit funds that doled out money to a wide array of groups that back progressive causes and help democrats in their efforts to win the white house and control of congress last year it's unclear if we says a u.s. citizen or permanent resident but foreign nationals without permanent residency are not allowed to donate directly to federal political candidates or political action committees pacs for sure but that doesn't stop the so-called dark money spending generally by nonprofit organizations that do not have to disclose their donors the we found ations web site describes itself as a private charitable foundation dedicated to supporting innovative lasting solutions that improve lives empower communities and strengthen connections to the land it goes on to write that we static aided his life to philanthropy by fostering new ideas and new tools for among other things medicine education the arts and land conservation but it's clear is donations go beyond those worthy endeavors he's also
7:03 pm
reportedly donated to a host of democratic candidates over the years and liberal think tanks such as the center for american progress whose chairman is john podesta a top aide to former presidents clinton and obama wiese also recently pulled out of a bid to take over the tribune publishing company so while leases love of the environment and other causes is clear his love of trying to steer the american political machine. it's also becoming even clearer for our to john hardy. and joining us now to discuss for some international perspective we will talk with former u.k. m.p. george galloway and award winning writer and professor in the watkins gentlemen good to see you the let me start over with you i know i've known you for years now over the years you have not shied away from blasting democrats when it's called for right when they're in the wrong they have railed against dark money for years since
7:04 pm
the citizens united ruling more than a decade ago but here they are reaping the rewards nancy pelosi nobody not no one in the mainstream media media has even touched the story what do you say to that. you know i did end of the day you get something and then smile. steve this is just another example of why we need. the same we need to reform the whole campaign system because. you just want your general to control the people with the responsibility of creating policies and i don't think so but you know. the same decision. when talking about republicans do we want people on the right do the same energy i would bring the people on the list we just need reform and i know it was a crazy time you know you may not have been in america less is you know if we have
7:05 pm
4 more years a truck but we still need to play a lot of rules that we can talk about it you know i can certainly appreciate that i want to bring in one more voice to the conversation let's add in new york times best selling author and president of the phyllis schlafly eagle forum ed martin is here with us. since 26 we heard it from the laughed you know russian influence on our elections but now here we are turns out that the. their swiss influence on our elections we often hear about george soros but here's this this swiss billionaire in wyoming who has basically kept a low profile i guess for decades he's a harvard graduate from the 1960 s. but we don't really know anything else about him what do you make of all of this. well there's a couple observations number one you brought up the russian hoax you know just yesterday i think or that you know yesterday the the narrative machine the great american narrative machine which is big tech big media and big government rehash
7:06 pm
the russian hoax there's a judge has all my gosh it's still there and i'm over reporting something special it said one of the greatest hoaxes perpetrated on the american people but very effectively done meanwhile we find out that this swiss citizen maybe he's american i don't nobody knows spend hundreds of millions of dollars look there's more left and right can come together dark money in politics needs to be given by the shine by the light of day but here is where it's my colleague just said as long as we get rid of trump i'm not sure right now that we're not in danger of losing this republican what we have the democrats brag to after the last election about florida finally election with tens of millions of dollars dark money where they went in they changed the rules most of the time it looks like at least that they admitted that it was legal but it wasn't it was dark money it was foreign money it was foreign influence and now we're just getting to the tip of the iceberg the bacolod i from joe biden is that he didn't know anything about all this stuff this is an outrage it should sit in his presidency but watch the narrative machine and move on
7:07 pm
to the next thing and just kind of roll their eyes and we'll talk about joe biden picking dandelions for his wife that's outrageous well george when you think of this when you think neutral right and though mr hines your advice doesn't represent the swiss government he clearly is not neutral and has objectives here in supporting one party in the u.s. over the other do you think there is more than meets the eye here that it's not just a wealthy swiss immigrant donating money to push causes important to him can't be just that. well when i think of switzerland i think of the sweetest of deserves which we call a swiss rule this is one judge gunn ticks worse rule through his rule you're a lecture on which was dominated by full solid gay shuns of russian interference from the european countries interfering in your politics it just wasn't russia
7:08 pm
full marks to the new york times not my favorite publication this is a cracking piece of investigative journalism and should bring the house down just said but we'll see if it does by the way it is perfectly possible that joe biden didn't know anything about any of this because he doesn't even know you can really pick the alarms of all things and i'm going to do your wife or in public for the record of people don't know dandelions are considered weeds so. maybe you guys are definitely weeds on this side of the pond and now now gentlemen mr mr vice sits on the board of the very last leaning think tank called center for american progress which was founded by the noted clinton acolyte john podesta the white house
7:09 pm
foundation and cap have now merged they are one in the same a woman called molly make you sick is the president of the vice foundation and coincidentally she was also a part of the biden transition team when joe biden took office so just how much influence do you believe mr vice might actually have in the policies that we're seeing coming out of capitol hill and from the white house at i'll give that to you 1st. well look and i can lump both parties together on this because i started on the republican national committee and over 403 others usually 13 through 15 and i saw that the money you need to run for president it has to come from somewhere it comes from corporations it comes from individuals and both parties are in this trap one of the reasons why they hated trump because trump didn't need the money at least in 2016 the same way and other races but look the influence is obvious sent me is completely obvious now and let's be clear the left doesn't care about
7:10 pm
switzerland or america they're a globalist entity their dream is wrapped up in the e.u. and in multilateral deals and gutting american sovereignty and china is now out of the atlantic is running a piece that china's not so bad they're kind of have their own trouble they're not so bad look we're in a battle to keep america rather countries to keep their own country's forget about whether it's wish or not here's what george said and george has lived this if you get a journalist that writes just story that's got real meat in it you've got to go to the bottom of it and if the government covers up what's happened and turns the other way and looks the other way we're talking about changing the very fabric of this republic because of this so you know again the democrats bragged in newsweek or time in december about how they were fortifying the election using this kind of money so let's follow the money it clearly made a difference by the way republicans do it you don't get me wrong but usually the smoking gun is not so clear as it is right now the what's your take on this there
7:11 pm
is a clear link with the clintons john podesta straight over to joe biden. so you just urge don't we expose this issue and then we talk about it and then we push towards campaign reform again. in a democracy you should be able to elections without what i will say is. the way the previous president conducted himself as probably many. parties outside of america. tried to call it's the election because it was just so ridiculous with the racism in the sexism in all of the different things that own donald trump was known for was that being said regardless that we should be able to have very legislators and we should not have politicians pay because this just makes the whole think pain and it is just it's not good and i think this is a great opportunity for people on the left and right to get together it is fight
7:12 pm
against it because it's definitely needed yeah there could definitely be a chance for some bipartisan work together here in georgia your final perspective from the outside looking over at the u.s. . well as oscar wilde said we are 2 people divided by a common language and the idea of john podesta the clintons and jewel by dunn left makes me a lot of going to tell you if i thought they really were left out well i'd be on their side but they're not at all there's no such thing as a free lunch this billionaire are gave hundreds of millions of dollars for something and i think not something is said i'm sure we don't agree on hardly anything politically is the kind of globalist neo liberalism that is represented by people like mr weiss and i don't follow. or
7:13 pm
to kill our path and america shore america is on its knees. because of the kind of politics represented by the clintons and the rest but the ultimate because for me as someone who defended russia through all of these false allegations that they were all looking at the wrong european country for whose stall america's i lecture yeah and and d. and ad i want to go back to for one more i'm just i'm really shocked right now that nobody on television right now is covering this story and why do you think that is ending this should be a huge story campaign finance outside money coming in why is nobody talking about it. it is
7:14 pm
just a this is it was like i think people need to. you know i just can't speak for the beach. because i live in the situation lists. but i think we're missing an opportunity here to bring the country together everybody talks about unity unity unity and healing america and bringing us together and this is one issue that we cannot get behind the elections need to be fair and i'll give you the final word. oh it's very easy they're all in on it all that all the cable news networks are all . in on it they're all in on this is this is a racket here this is america's become a racket and they can't talk about true stuff they're going to run images of race riots when the american people there's no more racism in this country then there's mental let me from the moment he said differently they're racists but we're not a racist country but what they have to do is hide the ball because the same people that made their money under bush cheney made it under obama biden and tried to make
7:15 pm
it under under our trump and they got him out and so now they're back to the same system and i worked at c.n.n. i was hired by c.n.n. i was fired by c.n.n. to be a contributor these people are in on the racket they're not in it for the truth but they're in it for the money and the power and they'll do anything to keep that wind of a lot of power and money in and can continue to flow all right we've got to leave a right there gentlemen do you want to end george galloway ed martin gentlemen thank you for joining us. still ahead a story that might shock you florida teacher now under investigation for paddling a small child will have a full report and discuss after this then later in sports regina hamm breaks at a year old play on historic moment as one school and a 29 year final fours route remember to keep up with all the latest news or catch up with anything you might have missed download the portable t.v. apps you can watch just whatever you want will be right back. to.

7:18 pm
that question. an elementary school principal is now under investigation and florida after spanking a 6 year old child the incident raises questions about why such punishment continues in a country that prides itself on being this beacon of democracy artie's caleb martin has the story. now you would think that teachers beating their students in order to keep them in line is a thing of the past and certainly doesn't happen nowadays well if you think that you are wrong a recent incident in florida caught on video sparked outrage here's what happened to a 6 year old girl who allegedly damaged a school computer and there is disturbing video this morning of
7:19 pm
a school principal hitting a 6 year old student with a wooden paddle now the video was recorded by her mother she came to the school in order to pay a fine for the damage to property now the mother did not speak english and feared for her immigration status so rather than intervene she discreetly took out her phone and recorded how the principal spanked her daughter with the help of another staff member nobody would have believed me i stick to my daughter so old parents can realize what's happening in the school now the official rules of county school don't permit for students to be hit but apparently it does happen however many counties throughout florida do have official policies permitting the use of corporal punishment elementary school principals are now able to paddle misbehaving students in marion county and many people at our morning news meeting wondered could bay area schools be next piece of video showing 2 adults at an elementary school in georgia prepared to paddle a 5 year old child it's perfectly legal in that state and in 18 other states 19
7:20 pm
u.s. states maintain laws allowing corporal punishment in public schools and almost every state keeps it legal in private schools now some say this is just part of the religious and traditional cultures of some regions throughout the united states but others say this is an outdated authoritarian practice pretty much child abuse and it has no place in modern education if our point in giving indication to our children they would employ reduces the amount of education and. mindset than a child could have while learning so i would say since that's the point of going to school been. doing with a wooden board is counterproductive to all children having the possibility to excel in schools will be so poor school or very well preschool children do better when they feel safe people across the country have very strong opinions about this disciplinary practice i feel like that's a something that a parent should do like that kind of discipline should come from parents and
7:21 pm
teachers. just shouldn't be allowed to do that that's not their job description i will definitely make sure that those people to jail because. i don't think they can tell you this is the answer for punishment i think that he said a lot of ways to. make sure that the kids that are in the house listen to the fact that beating children as a routine form of punishment in schools across the country certainly flies in the face of the image the united states has constructed for itself around the world. and here to weigh in on this shocking video is dr lisa palmer she's a psychotherapist and p.t.s.d. expert dr palmer good to have you on thank you for joining us 1st we got to get this out there florida law where you are right in florida it does not ban corporal punishment but the particular county that this incident occurred and hendry county they prohibit this sort of conduct by schools the legalities of this incident still
7:22 pm
need to be hammered out by the d.a.'s office but let's talk about the child here and her mother who witnessed this assault how much trauma are the little girl and her mother experiencing right now. believe me i mean when i when i saw this video now i have to tell you i cringed because i just can't believe this is going on in the united states of america or anywhere at this day and age i literally couldn't believe it and i as you know i work with trauma my center has been number one for p.t.s.d. i've worked with hundreds and hundreds of patients at the church. this is definitely traumatic and this is going to last with this child for the rest of this child's life and it's very sad it's extremely sad that. this is definitely child abuse and i just can't believe that it's going on and it makes me very very sad to see that you know you put a child in school because they're supposed to be safe there and this is how they're
7:23 pm
being treated now. it's scary well when they get arrested i think. does corporal punishment actually work i mean what what does this type of discipline the so-called discipline is supposed to 3rd to do. well i guess it's supposed to try to get kids to change their behavior but what it does is it traumatizes people because it's putting someone in a fight or flight response right they're not going to think rationally they're going to be in survival mode and a lot of people once they get into survival mode they can't kick themselves out of it you realize that when something traumatic happens to somebody it could happen when they're younger and they feel the effects when they're a lot older they could be 60 years old and because they were hit they still are affected by that i've treated people want this mela wow that i've had to change their memories because of things that their abusers did or their parents did i had
7:24 pm
a patient who was basically hit every day and it affected. you know tactical or yeah absolutely and as you know now most most of those with multiples in the country are slowly returning to normal and this pandemic do you think the strath from this pandemic could have played into why the principal took the sort of action on on a child like was she stressed out as many teachers and administrators seemed to be and perhaps misplaced her anger and frustration. well you know i don't know what was going through her mind none of this is right a lot of people are very stressed out because of the pandemic and it's really taken its toll on people it's made people very angry it's mean people become very irrational and have that's had an effect you know on their relationships on their performance at work especially when they have to practice patience and tolerance but if it is something that's seen as ok within the school system in that
7:25 pm
particular county then and they've made it ok that was something that was going well and way before you know the pandemic so that's a legal matter and like i said before i mean i was completely appalled when i saw that because as far as i'm concerned that's complete child abuse any time a child is being hit you have to report it so i can't even believe that that something like that is ok and legal it's definitely not ethical yeah yeah and real briefly some people are calling racism on this principle melissa carter who is white the child and her mother are hispanic in fact the mother is undocumented doesn't speak much english how might race or perceived social status or hierarchy have played into this incident. i mean there's always there's always racism that always comes up but you know you see and that is a real issue in our society i know i'm i'm half hispanic myself and have
7:26 pm
a tally and so i can understand that but i think the reality is that also people of similar cultures and ethnicities also mistreat other and that happens all the time so i you also have to be careful not to just say oh it's racism oh yeah i think that there has to be better measures in place to protect children will matter what their races and i think that needs to look at legally what's going on and because it's absolutely wrong there's too many children being abused one in 7 or america are abused every year all right we've got to leave it right there in law actually dr there's so much more to discuss and i appreciate you breaking all of this down the psychology behind us dr lisa palmer p.t.s.d. expert thank you so much for being with us tonight. thanks for having me. let's head over to regina hamm disport h.q. here taking us to euro league we are and the you know the early get the best of 5
