have to worry about anymore that's really not the case at all right it's about our roshon of american institutions that's been going on for many years now and is becoming more acute under president trump it's an erosion of domestic institutions and leadership even including in germany though not as it usually there and of the european union itself and its bureaucracy its about the fact that every major international relationship in the world today u.s. russia u.s. china transatlantic interim middle east intro to europe they're all actually trending in negative directions that's the first time i like that that's been true and while that's not portending crisis tomorrow it's not urgent in terms of the markets or in terms of the global economy it's very clear that this isn't sustainable it's very clear this is heading us and of very bad direction indeed and the next crisis we have whether it's a pandemic or it's a cyber attack or it's a terrorist attack or it's most likely the next economic downturn we are really not prepared either as national governments or as a world to respond in any way effectiv

well i'm joined now by dr peter bell a political scientist and latin america analyst from the american institute here in berlin thanks for being with us this morning professor now the crisis in venezuela seems to be coming to a head there's been a mass exodus from the from the country the economy is on its knees and and dozens of countries are now recognize or no longer recognizing the doro as president how long can nicolas maduro hold on quite a lot of time as long as he doesn't lose the support of the country's army. and if he doesn't lose the support of china and russia and most important perhaps if he doesn't lose support of his. bases in the. country's population so this will be one of the biggest questions of the next days if the opposition really is able to organize new mosque protests and so this my one point during the month order to step down the world's attention is now fixed on one go i do know the opposition figure who heads bennis well as national assembly and says he is now the country's legitimate president the us and nearly fifty other countries have now recognized wide as the l

joined by jeffrey albert tucker editorial director of the american institute for economic research thanks for being with us here on r t international. it's a pleasure thank you so john bolton claims both venezuela and the u.s. will benefit from american investment in the venezuelan oil industry do you agree with that assessment. probably but you know this is a problem to us foreign policy you know and one has all about freedom and human rights and i'm for that. with and against maduro i don't like what he's done to his country and i think the people do not support him but now you have this announcement where the u.s. is once again talking about basically another war for oil so that it introduces these moral complications and gives rise to some serious questions about the u.s. motivations here and it's very frustrating from an american point of view it's one thing for trump to announce oh i support this other guy and that's great but but but these sanctions are kind of an act of violence in themselves and i and if it's true to us foreign policy in the past it's very likely to back there i

this was at the american enterprise institute. i am outing myself as a right of amter somewhat, although i as kind i am walking in the room and there is mike lee and john cordon with cory booker. another democrat better, and there were talking about criminal justice. so i thought i would just work myself there and listen. statistic that blew my mind. for african-american men who don't graduate from high school, their odds of being incarcerated are 30%. 30% of these men are in prison right now. for those who don't graduate from high school, 68% will be in prison at some point in their lives. it was like a lightbulb going off in my head. i said, ok, i care about education because i care about our communities, economic opportunity, justice, all this stuff. just focus on education without taking on this other thing. and remember, jason had been chirping me about this for some time, and is finally resonated. i said, i have to call jason and get smart on this. be really spent about a year, planted seeds with the martial project, the bre

if you're vladimir putin, ripping to shreds the american institutions is one giant goal. it's not i think sometimes helpful to discuss the notion of trump as a russian agent, only because i think people think that makes him an undercover spy. the knows that he's an asset -- i do think asset is probably the word that doesn't cause people to immediately shut their ears sometimes. whether it's witting or unwitting is the question on the ta table. and donald trump saying i'm not an agent for russia, it makes you think of bill clinton saying i did not sleep with that woman and richard nixon saying i am not a crook. >> donald trump is not an agent. i'm serious. he doesn't have the band width to do it, doesn't have the discipline to do it. he blurts out everything in his mind. but is he an asset? >> 100%. >> 100% he might be. let's put it that way, mika. but again, you judge a tree by its fruits. you look at what donald trump has been trying to do on the international stage and there is not a republican on capitol hill today that wouldn't say that what he has been doing is tryin

administration maybe the biggest takeaway has been despite all of his statements all of his tweets american institutions have stood up quite well and he's been unable to implement a lot of the things that would have been quite challenging for the u.s. but twenty nineteen is a year where the political institutions will be challenged as they really never have before in my lifetime and that's not because of the shutdown it's because of the investigation is coming down against trump his family and his organization and when he hits back against the people trying to hit him the question is what happens in congress what happens in the judiciary that's an open question ok just to stay with the shutdown just for a moment because trump could take it one step further could he could go and declare a national emergency if he insists on getting this wool bill there's no guarantee that that's going to work but quoting a national emergency i mean that's got to be destabilizing. well there are some thirty national emergency mechanisms in place that have been declared by presidents since the that was been allowed by cong
