8:30 am
and the international criminal court prosecutor is looking to resume his investigation into war crimes which were committed in afghanistan. however, one country has already been granted a sort of immunity from any wrongdoing. we will tell you why the united states is being exempted in the by an agenda is on the verge of collapse, as one at democratic senator is calling the spinning plan, fiscal and sanity despite president by and saying, the bill will cost 0 dollars. something is it adding up and we're going to give you the $350.00 view and talking about insanity. the last 48 hours of the trump world has been pretty insane as major stories about the former president and his staff has been released with most put in the entire organization in a very negative light. we go straight to those. busy who know the campaign and get their take on the timing and what is the truth and what should be just left to the tablet. and johnstone joined us to talk about his latest project, which exposes the dark secret, would shed light on the world power structure and how deep the root of human
8:31 am
trafficking. and pedophilia are in today's friday. i'm say no huge. the stories are more and they knew he's, he's right here in our to america a lot to cover. so let's get started with thanks for joining us. you know, back in 2002, the international criminal court was set up to tackle the world's worst crimes. and it has the authority to step in and actually bring people to justice for war crimes . when national government aren't willing to do so, the investigator had actually found a reasonable basis to believe that between 20042014 war crimes like mass killings were committed by the taliban in afghanistan. and the recent attack on cabal airport claimed by isis k, it was actually not to resume the investigation. now they all, and the officer also had suspected there was torture of prisoners by african authorities at the time. but it also involved us nurses and the cia now the united
8:32 am
states impose sanctions on the i. c. c prosecutor for investigating those accusations and the role the us forces that might have played. but now if the investigation resumes, the prosecutor has already said he will only focus on the actions and the taliban, and the islamic state of chorus, an province aka isis k. so does this mean the united states is actually cleared of all wrong doing what is got to bring in or paying off my family. michael, thanks for joining me on merger. we talked about every aspect of this withdrawal from afghanistan. now we're actually talking about war crimes, kinda like the post mortem of everything that went on. how important, let's talk about the i c c itself is the i c c and what kind of punishment can they actually get? well, they can put people in jail and they have done so in the past, against bosnians and a, and serbians rather against crimes against humanity, genocide and, and, and there, there, okay. but in order to highlight these kinds of problems,
8:33 am
sort of the conscience if you will, of a humanity to a point. but in the case of, in this particular case, it's limited because 1st of all, the united states, as you pointed out, is not a member. ah, and the, the sanctions that were imposed on the prosecutor to come in and investigate ca aspect was a, what had sanctioned, not only put up against him, but the united states refused to, does not have to operate at all. right. and so does that mean the u. s. is off scott free? well, i think they're looking more at offenses that were purposeful, like something that were with a total disregard of, of humanity. mass killings, these kinds of things taliban is on the books, right. it is a,
8:34 am
this is one of the $123.00 signatories to what's called the, the rome statute that created the i c. c. so who's every governor at the time? their, their, the stuck ease? well, that's the thing i raise going, right? i will, they, i a see, i see, see actually be able to have a real investigation concerning the top. i'm not going to probably cooperate much with what they're finding to mean how legitimate, well their findings be on any of these organizations that they're going to be looking well they've, they're gonna have to go in and interview people and all that tell a bon could kick him out, we think maybe round them up and i mean it, i don't think they're going to get much cooperation. i'll tell bonnie well though they profess that they want to be a member of the international community. again. we'll see if they even act like it . but chances are the answer is no, but, but there are, there are some very serious offenses that tell about committed the u. s. has also been accused of war crimes. and in some cases the u. s. well, in all cases,
8:35 am
us announces that they're going to investigate. nothing ever comes with it. so, us in effect, gets off scot free. well, and that's the problem is that if you don't have accountability is that give us a bigger chance, you know, on a 1000000 members next situation and the next, the next issue that comes up, which we history repeats itself. yeah. yeah, there's no accountability in this latest fiasco. the pull out and, and people got killed and, and, and you had this mass humanitarian, the confusion that took place because of how close is the i c, c and the you. and i mean, is there anybody that could actually put some muscle behind icy and even the taliban and say, let this investigation happen? well, the again, light like the i, c, c, the, the u. n is only as strong as the members will allow. it can report to the, to the national security national to the, to the, as you went, security council, it can do that. it can be cases can be initiated by the un security council, but u. s. is on their ironically the permanent members,
8:36 am
3 of the 3 of the 5 permanent members are not signatories to the i c c. so it's questionable whether the un security council will allow anything to go forward unless something was just so outrageous. like how long it took to to investigate the genocide claims on in rwanda? well that's, i'm thinking, what is the i c c. then? i mean, is it kind of, there's lots of being proud of her being say on that they've done the, why are they ammunition be very active right now considering all of the different things that are happening in south africa, south america on this, why, you know, is that part of that is the i c, c become so politicize, it has become politicized, and the cases are lining up and, and it's it, when you had the nuremberg tribunals for example, that, that really set the, the pace for this. and now everything is sort of a whole home these days because there are so many atrocities going on out there who, who, where do you stand in line with what is more egregious than the other?
8:37 am
and the, then the question comes down if they convict iraq. coincidentally, i tell a bon, who goes into one who gets held by the court, of course, and the information flow again, it's only is as powerful as the members allow. and once again, america is not possibly going to have, or this administration is not going to have their feet to the fire and no, in fact, in fact they have can extended the, the sanctions on the prosecutor. and that's that probably one of the reasons why america got to me any my voice, great to talk to was thank you for joining. okay, to, to vote or not to vote. this has democrats about the house. the senate are trying to figure out if they have another to pass the $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure bill and the $3.00 trillion dollar reconciliation bill, which is attached to it. meanwhile, we continue to learn why members on both sides of the aisle are hesitant to publicly support, sir. joining me for some insight in today's development, we have michael bessler, public policy analyst and professor of finance at stockton university. thank you so
8:38 am
much for joining, michael. thank you for have me. it's my pleasure to be here. okay, so here we have, this is several 100 page bill. should congress passed the bill as it stands right now today and make it into law? now, this bill is really a boon dog and it's put forth at a time when the us can't afford to spend money. like this look, looked just today at glory hours ago, they signed an agreement, congress that the president will sign it to increase the public debt. the public debt is and $28.00 trillion dollars and climbing. and so people say, well, is that a problem? well, it is a big problem and the problem is that the interest on the public debt will be about 400000000000 dollars this year. and it will even if they don't raise it, the debt will grow. the interest payments will grow. why is that? when the federal government started deficit spending about 60 years ago,
8:39 am
and they deficit spend in 55 of the last 59 years. they sell bonds to finance the deficit. they pay interest on the bonds, usually $10.00 or 20 year bonds. when the bonds come do they don't have the money to pay it back. so what do they do? they sell new bonds to pay back the old bonds. they roll over the public debt, and as a result, the public that just keeps growing. this year, interest on the public debt will be about $400000000000.00. that's about 10 percent of the government spending, excluding what they on coven, that public debt was taken out when interest rates were extremely low, like in the one percent range, as they roll over the debt and interest rates rise, which should start happening early next year. once interest rates, right, and they roll over the, the debt instead of paying one percent interest, you could be paying 2 or 2 and a half percent interest. well, instead of a $400000000000.00 bill, you now have an $800000000000.00 or a trillion dollar annual interest payment. that means it's
8:40 am
a trillion dollars that the government can't spend on more productive leisure. so i wouldn't of this, the infrastructure bill, 1.2 trillion is who should really be about half of that. none of that 3.5 trillion in my view is something we should spend now until we get our budget a lot better under control professor bus, or it's obvious, i don't think members of congress have taken your class because what you're saying is very easy to understand, but yet congress looks like they're going to push for and in fact, the ones that are saying that they're not voting for it is because there's not enough. they want more money in there. they feel like that should be spent. but you know, the speaker, the president, both of come back and this has me a little confused. they say that this reading plan is going to cost 0 dollars. so is this accurate or is this just more of an easy catch phrase then go? oh it's free. is it really free? so they said this will add 0 dollars to the deficit. now there's only 2 ways for that to happen. one,
8:41 am
you either cut $3.00 trillion out of other government spending, which is nearly impossible, or you raise taxes $3.00 trillion dollars, which is what this budget does. president biden said he was only going to raise taxes on people making over $400000.00 a year. the problem is that's only about one and a half percent of the population. the tax increases will filter down to the middle class. you're going to start to see some studies coming out probably in the next day or 2. that will say the, the $3.00 trillion dollar plan will put tax increases on most of the middle class. i saw one preliminary study said anybody making any household making more than $40000.00 a year will end up paying more taxes as a result of this. so there's no way it's not going to increase the deficit. and only way it can come close is if you significantly raise taxes. and if you raise $3.00 trillion dollars in taxes, that's going to have devastating effects on the economy. consumers have less money to spend. that's going to slow things down. higher income earners have less money
8:42 am
to invest, that's going to reduce capital formation for a capital intensive economy that will slow things. now my biggest fear putting this through is you end up stimulating demand. business can't respond by increasing supply because they can't raise capital to expand that stagnates the economy. and the only way to respond to high demand, if we can increase supply, is to raise prices and wind up than with inflation and a stagnant economy called stagflation, which is something we haven't seen since the white 1970. and that is the kind one 0 one at tati right here on news he's, he's professor like said, very simple. and i think the bottom line is in the white house, the sang. we're going to win tonight. but if this passes, it sounds like we actually lose professor great to have you on. we thank you, my pleasure, look forward to doing it again. now any return i will tell you about what is behind the elation of society by the media, and how on the sense sandstone will give us his observations after the break and
8:43 am
a with to live in a time now where we receive so many inputs on a daily basis that are completely,
8:44 am
i know we need to reality. so think about how and social media filters and they basically will present themselves in a very unrealistic way. and so when we come to the fomo, there is an be involved. but more than that, it's about being sort of envious of something that may not exist. and it is also really tied to the fact that as humans, we want to be part of the crowd. ah, and looks it out. and they used to work with a boy with
8:45 am
cosby, toyota, the shirts, under which way up to music in the new quote. yes, please. it's your book. come listen. can he's not live a ah. okay. it's been almost 9 months since president trump left the white house and yet still seems to dominate the headlines on a continuous basis. however, over the last 48 hours, the casual scuttlebutt intensified as multiple negative stories regarding the former president and his staff have surfaced. okay, let's walk through them. so let's start with the claims made by the conservative media outlet, american greatness of the claims for trump, campaign manager, and advisor cor luhan, dusky and south dakota governor and potential v p. candidate christy no, have been in an intimate relationship for months now. governor nome has to
8:46 am
adamantly denied the accusation saying they are total garbage and a disgusting lie. now this is almost immediately followed up by a political article detailing how the former campaign manager made unwanted sexual advances on a republican donors wife at a fundraiser. so the campaign with an hours reacted releasing a statement, saying lou and ascii was no longer associated with the trump world and former ag of florida and also trump ally pam bondi would be taking over corey's duties. but it wasn't just corey as 11 individuals, including mich move and his niece and former national spokesman for the trump campaign. katrina pearson were delivered subpoenas from the house committee investigating the january 6th capital riots bud. that's not all. as former press secretary and chief of staff to millennia, trump staffing christians, new book is set to be released. however, yesterday i knew a large chunks from the book were released, detailing everything from president trump terrifying temper as well as accusing him of making sexual comments about a young white house aide amongst many of the comments that were made. but why
8:47 am
infiltration of a tablet political gossip at this time? well, let me figure out we were going to head martin, president eagle form, and just call and see if the congressional candidate and the u. s. navy veteran, gentlemen, thanks for joining me on this. and this is not about tabloid, i don't want to talk about the specific allegations that let them all handle that. i'm questioning the timing of all of this at this time. and you think this is them sort of orchestration because literally in the last 3 days this is all come out. i actually will start with you on this ed? well yes, there's multiple layers to this one is christy. gnome is one of the leading candidates to run for vice president for president. she's been successful as a governor, she's very charismatic. she served in congress. so these are the sharp knives coming for her. quarterly winowski has solidified himself. you know, he's been on the out before, but he's certainly solidified himself as one of trump worlds go to guys. so there's a lot of competition for that. so that he's, he's getting some of the knives in his back. but more importantly, what i have to say is that the media and the and the left loves to beat up trump,
8:48 am
they, they can't go about a week without him in the headlines because everything else is boring or a debacle. so if you cover biden, you see the guy is boring and he's a mess. and so trump, anything you can do a trump, you know, allegations, by the way, how many seos in the world have a temper? this is a surprise, right? i mean, i have, i don't know how many there are, i think are all of them. right. so the idea that we're going to have lots of others tabloid stuff i think is an indication that trump cells. and of course trump is ascend. and again, his poll numbers are clear, he's going to be coming to run for president. he's going to be the dominant character. so a lot of this has to do with just trump, trump drop as always, that it's only been 9 months and we're still 3 years on the hey from than i said. so he pays dropped from cells from cell on does cell. but once again, this is on or throw over to you on this when i, because or joe, because these are mainly coming from inside the republican camp. that's what i think is interesting on this conservative media kind of republican donors, trump supporters. did that tell you anything about right now?
8:49 am
we talk about the divide happy in the democratic party over this budget, but as this show anything about the republican camp right now, joe. thank we are having jose. yeah. yeah, i think we're joe adam with us back to you. i would try to figure out just audio on this. okay. yeah. does it tell you now you know about this? yeah, no, no, no, i mean i, when i was on the r and c, i was on the republican national committee. i was chairman the missouri party. i watched the factions within the republican party. and when trump won, the establishment has been struggling to get back in control and to try to get back in and they hated carrillo and ask you, they hate these, the trump people. so there is a fight going on in the republican party. but it's a little bit of a distraction because it's about 95 percent of the parties with trump. and so you can say, oh, i wish he would not tweet as my jury does this or that. but it's trumps party and the rest of the right and ask a candidate, i'm sure joe could tell you others can tell you if you're running for office. all
8:50 am
that matters as a republican in a primary is, are you with trump on the key issues? and he's he with you. if you're against him, you find yourself out on an island. so it's for it's trumps party. the rest of these people are just posing, was interested in the brand that it's trump party because actually joe were continuously saying these stories coming from former members of the trump camp. how many books have been written by farmers have members very in to a certain extent loyal, there were supposedly loyal during that time to the trump camp. so why are we going to use the thing in the story and for the record on morose, actually when a huge cor case this week, releasing her from her and da that she signed it during the campaign. so you're going to see even more books coming out, you know, jump as a businessman and business and politics we know are completely different. the way things going business world is completely different from the political world. and, you know, unfortunately, we've been conditioned to believe everything in a political world has to do a policy, but we don't, we haven't necessarily understood, mary that, you know, america is kind of like
8:51 am
a business is railing business to buy and sell things. so the way you run the business out, successful business. oh, there you go. i think we just lost you again, jo. favorite add. pick up where you left us. i can have i. this is great. this is great ahead time. i love this. i was, wasn't me that knocked as mike, but listen, let me make one other point, scotty, i'll try to make some controversy. i wish i had a democrat on opposite me on this. look. there's one guy that has an affair that was alleged that was with a spy, and that's eric swore. well, a chinese spy, and we're seeing a conversation about what trump might have said about an aide. what somebody might have. i'm no fan of extra marital affairs. i'm not defending anybody who says it's good or bad. i'm saying, why are we talking about corey lou and ascii and christie know? and as you point out, a lot of this is in fighting and trump world to, by the way, there's a lot of money to be made in truck. well, they're not exempt from the people getting paid lots of money, including corey to do the work that they do. so it's, i think it's a distraction, but again, trump shells. and you can say it's 3 and a half years away,
8:52 am
scotty. but you know what? a cnn is desperate to have trump back, because their ratings are in the tank and they want to talk about trump. and so this is a way to talk about trump, by the way. omar also wins. but you know, she winced by basically having to say, i signed an agreement, but i don't want to do it. i'm not sure that's a win in the long run. i mean, not you, again, you get paid for a book, but she kind of looks less honorable than not i think, well, i don't know if any of them are actually caring about that, right? i'm just going between you and i at this point and it's a little bit of inside basement a baseball between this. the thing that i have a question about all of this is, do you feel like, and this is the debate that is that i commonly have without is trans kind of on his own it. where is the loyalty to president trump going into this? because a lot of the people that you're say are the ones that are closest to them. i mean, they cut, cor, lou, endow sky up really quick and it's round. so is that is because, i mean, you can have the best quarterback in the world. but if you don't have an offensive line or a defensive line against and you're going to get run over by the other team regardless . yeah, i will say this about, i think that's fair,
8:53 am
scotty. i think you put your finger on a good criticism of uh, president trump, his operation. he did not get good people that stayed loyal to him. sometimes he didn't stay loyal to him. but i want to point out one thing out. we never had this experience where we had a president who lost for reelection and then stayed on the scene. jimmy carter went off the scene, george w bush went off the scene. they went retired. this is a different kind of thing. you know, a lot of people, i don't agree with them, but i think a lot of people are picking out the drapes for the west wing for the 2nd trump term . that's how republicans are thinking because they're watching biden tank. it's a long way from here to there, but that's how they're thinking, and you want to talk about jockeying for power. that's when you're seeing people, people jockey for power to get back into the white house. well, it'll be interesting to see if trump continues to stay on the front runner. free maybe becomes the king maker other publican party, which is nothing that the parties mithra. we can continue this conversation and i guarantee we will. thanks for joining me. thanks. speaking of power, shawn started the latest project called the best kept secret, and i mean could not be better. you know, we're always looking for answers,
8:54 am
but it seems lately, not only are there more questions, but punishment for those who are asking. and someone who has felt kind of the heat for seeking as answers as to what events are happening. is legendary filmmaker shenstone. yes, i'm calling you legendary sean, because in this case you are going out with your past couple projects have been very controversial. you're asking the tough questions more power to you for doing it. but do you feel like though, especially with this latest project, that certain thoughts and questions are not being allowed regarding what is actually happening to events in our world today from being asked? absolutely, i mean that the obvious example i can give you is the news that just coming out about how you tube is censoring anyone. that questions vaccine efficacy the dangers of the vaccine in current use it, right. all that is being censored on youtube overtly. so that's just a real easy example to give you, but this is always you see the media is control of the narrative as been around since the times that noam chomsky wrote the book manufacturing consent. decades ago
8:55 am
it's, it's always been a media narrative. a lot of it could be pointed to the council on foreign relations . i think tank that at the originated from j. p. morgan banking system, back in the twenties and thirties in america. and essentially very many, very many people that you see including presidents come from the council for relations. and so you can print pinpoint a lot of the agenda to major thing. things like the c, f, r, and various, you know, again, corporate donors and sponsors to media. but again, there's not one area i can tell you beyond what's obvious right now in terms of the vaccine debate where it's being censored. but our doc, you series is a very far reaching in terms of the cases and the stories that we get into and sign, you know, just by saying at martin got, okay, are you going to pull this club? i would hope not because i said we shall all sides here on a fabric were definitely on the show to that to that point. but i agree people should have the platform to talk about in this latest product you've had. and i
8:56 am
said, you've had lots of projects over the past few years, asking these hard questions. what is the most surprising discovery that you found? doing your research in producing is found that you even shock you, which might be hard to do these days. it's hard to shock me in because a lot of this donkey series is based on research i've been doing for decades. we bring up things like the franklin scandal, which is really the upstream story before i've seen that was involving more the republican party of the eighty's, the bush, the bush, reagan era. but it did not was not limited to the republican party as far as the deep state protection when it came to the justice department to refusing to hear that the statements of children who had been traffic and subjected to pedophilia by very powerful politicians. and businessman, i mean, this is again the franklin scandals very famous case. so we focus on this. we talk about the epstein story and how compromising politicians are look, epstein was a guy who been, who donated millions of dollars to them a credit party. you know, he was very close with the clintons, obviously. so you know,
8:57 am
these are stories that are not new, but it's like you get deeper and deeper into your research is, are connecting dots. and you start to realize just how intricate and he said how small it is that at the top right, the higher you go, as they say this, the fewer people that are in power, the pyramid gets, it gets steeper and steeper. basically as you get to the top of the pyramid, as far as that network of very few individuals, ok, we're ok before i let you go, where can people i see the sound were there? when are they gonna be able to catch it? and what's the best way? yes, so best kept secret is a doc you series. that means we're releasing a week by week for these 4 chapters on video, on demand, as well as iconic dot com. and so really it's, it's there in a sense for people to be read pilled by step if they're willing to go to that journey all, and congratulations and thank you. and let's, let's helping paul can actually watch and go with an open mind and listen to what you say. thanks for joining us. that's all the time we have for today. i shall, but thanks for watching. we'll catch you later. ah,
