how disappointed are you that respected researchers on corruption, such as kamal govind at the universityconcluded after eight months that they see nothing new. "the cancer of corruption," he says, "is, infact, more insidious, and it remains a normal way of life for south africa." i don't know about south africa because we have the steinhoff scandal, where they've had to come to a commission to account, that's a private company. we have the issue of the banks. we've got a commission right now looking at state capture, and that has become the basis for actually going the judicial route. i think what the president has done is there must never be an opportunity for anyone to say, "i'm being targeted politically." this has to be a properjudicial, not a populist, issue, so that everybody‘s rights are respected. thembisile majola, we have to end it there but i do thank you very much for being on hardtalk. thank you very much, thank you. hello there. many parts of the country had a largely dry halloween evening, but the rain has begun to pep up across central and eastern areas. through the night

if it is an assault if a guy -- bad guy does it for kamal for criminal- purposes why is it magically , translated into not a real threat? verbally threatening to shoot somebody -- that doesn't count? paul: that is clearly a threat. i think we are mixing different things. people have taken your 2.4 million figure and translated it into needing an ak-47 to shoot back when a gang is invading their house. they say i see somebody all of a sudden trespassing, get out of my backyard. is half a million to one million. those are defensive gun uses that are legitimate. you seem to have said that you do not rule that out. if it is three quarters of a million and it is reasonable defensive gun uses isn't that , very considerably weighing in the balance if you believe that number? >> i am approaching this has yes, guns can be used for beneficial purposes. gary is not lying about that. -- gary has outlined some of those. also, guns can be used for very negative purposes. and i tried to outline those. i am not taking a prohibitionist approach. i am saying let's do more background checks. let's get

vehicle leading a convoy of isis fighters out of abu kamal, syria, and into safety in iraq and some air force officer or enterprising gamer said that photo looks exactly like an image from the ac-130 gunship simulator special ops game, and so you know, that was publicized that this is the same photo. it's a screen grab and the russians said, yeah, that was a mistake, but the u.s. still supports isis and then they just move on, right? because they're not -- they're not emotionally invested in the lie. it doesn't cost them very much in terms of time and effort and costs them nothing in terms of money to gin these things up and put them out in the information space and they understand that we will then have to respond to that come does cause us to chase our tails for a little bit and put staff to find out where the photo came from and refuting it. so there is a way to dominate the information space. every once in a while, you see them strike the u.s. partner force and the syrian democratic forces. they did it a couple of times when i was there in the fall of 2015. they've done it a couple

medicare for all, federal jobs guaranteed and then a tax credit for low income from kamal harris theater. these are the programs that doesn't say america in the land of prosperity we can turn the life around. this says there's nothing you can do except government comes to the rescue and will give you all these things. essentially free money and more free money because america doesn't work. that's a political message that may resonate but it's 100% wrong. stuart: uni were not born in poverty, but not exactly up there. >> the first part was pretty good because i was born in an army base. we didn't make a lot of money but we have everything. and my parents divorced we had nothing. no heat and the know-how fodder for the entire winter. talking about one can assume waiting for the next check to come. talking about extreme poverty and really i was lucky enough that i grew up on an army base and i lived around the world the first half of my childhood so i knew that didn't have to be my life. unfortunately i had to see a first-hand people born and raised in that situation did not have the benefi

assets, our advisers, to defeat the isis elements in all but about 1% of that country down around abu kamal, very near to one of the crossings around the euphrates river valley into iraq. look, we have, i find it very reassuring that ambassador jim jeffery has agreed to come back into government, former ambassador to iraq, turkey, deputy national security adviser, harvard, i think, and a vietnam veteran. i mean a really extraordinary individual. he is very ablebly assisted by deputy assistant secretary joel rayburn, a retired colonel who is very much one of my guys over the years in various positions, a truly brilliant individual, and a great thinker and writer. and they have established, with the president's support, three very clear objectives. however challenging attaining some of these will be. the first is of course the enduring defeat of isis. keep that first word, enduring. this is established very intelligently by the previous secretary of defense, ash carter. so you just don't want to defeat them. you want to ensure that it is enduring. and that has a lot of implications for how yo
