, these alien narratives. but it's not just religious narratives that are playing into this as well. these narratives have strong elements of native american captivity narratives from the 17th and 18th centuries. fears of white colonists, particularly of white female colonists being abducted and held captive by native americans. in terms of their kind of sexual content, they're the almost pornographic detail that these abduction narratives go into, there's a significant rhetorical debt owed to the anti-catholic escaped nun narratives of the 19th, early 20th centuries. some of which we saw advertised in those klan newspapers we were looking at. and so there's a lot of different elements coming into this. not just sexual anxieties as well. anxieties about race, the fact that the first abducted couple is an interracial couple is not unrelated. the fact that one of the major fears in the '60s as interracial marriage is ruled legal by the supreme court, the fact that these fears of misaugination are present even as

that's clear but the republican narrative also leads to russia bad and that's the point this is been a very successful dissin permission campaign because the facts are actually not that difficult to determine anybody can look into this for themselves and learn the facts of this case they can see what crowd strike did they can see who didn't tell us and that's guy who's that that russian let's just talk about that she's that russian lawyer that's all you need to say she's already been cast as like natasha right in the rocky and bullwinkle right she's that russian lawyer and and and she is that russian lawyer to both the left and the right the right believe this is what the right believes because my that's where i live i live on the right people on the right falsely believe that this was a setup that she was put in there by the clintons because she's connected to fusion g.p.s. . yes and we know fusion g.p.s. limbaugh they don't even get what's going on there and the left goes oh no no she's that russian lawyers or she just she was sent in by putin they all actually agree on it and i th

but it actually proves a point here james brings up this point we have these two narratives out there and depending on how you see politics is what you're going to stress i agree because hillary clinton was given a free pass over and over and over again donald trump like a murder don't like him there is no evidence that he committed a crime not yet after all this time ok though the other side and so you have c n n n n b c do not want to talk about the crimes of hillary clinton and her mafia gang because that's essentially what they are ok and all they can do is focus on me going to james they're all they can do is focus on the what they believe what they hope what they pray for our sins of donald trump but in all those words i just used it's not a legal go ahead james. i hope ha is right that molar will be out i think that means also getting rid of rod rosenstein the deputy attorney general and possibly replacing jeff sessions with somebody will actually do something about this stuff but my concern is this is that molar is captain ahab going after the great orange whale here and even

what are those narratives to combat those narratives? and it shows the influence over the saudi sopranos he is one of the few people that was spared. and that is not curtailed in the same sort of way with the outside influence because then there is even more of a backlash. so it shows how they are co-opted by establishment and recognizing the messenger matters so what is associated with the regime may not be the best messengers for the message. if you have the top cleric with the oldest institutions he may be seen so you have to find out who has organic voices in civil society to combat that message. [inaudible] >> terry miller with the heritage foundation. what does the united states government have or need to have in order to effectively address these problems? >> it is a great question. so the speed and part of that is the network approach. so the state department would take that. with is the inter- agency. to tackle this type of propaganda. and to be the manhattan project. so now it is 40 plus million so the military ban are we putti

first, challenging narratives. the response details either challenging artist directly or providing alternative options. to the internationally recognized private-public partnership known as peer-to-peer, running violent, countering extremism program, we've engaged with young people internationally. peer-to-peer challenge teams of students from colleges and universities to develop and implement social media programs targeting the narrative and online recruiters of violent extremism. we recognize the need for more resources in the space of enjoy ece department of homeland security office of terrorism prevention partnerships awarded to grants, 26 grants to commute debased organizations. at least half a dozen of the awardees will have a robust online presence including pushing back against the messages of isis and other terrorist recruiters and radicalizers. for example, one project is developing an application that will put high-quality video editing tools tips on digital marketing and relevant research findings on r

ssion the narrative will never cease against russia and the notion collusion because we still seek to take advantage from russia over arctic mineral natural resources and that's what the crux of all this has been since two thousand and eleven so unfortunately even though this could be a huge smoking gun that narrative will not cease and there provocation and spreading that continuously you hear it every day in the halls of congress to throughout this town so that's not going to change i wish it would but it just simply won't won't daniel in tech that's a very interesting point i believe this and russia hysteria will continue irrespective ok it's not based on anything it's just a hysterical supposition that is been inserted into public discourse here but i mean it will in this kind of goes into my mantra about the media i mean when we read the memo we all will it's only four pages of we all read it very fast and will we depending on how you look at everything you're going to come to conclusions very quickly i'm pretty sure about that but you know do you think and this is what really go

combating those narratives than the part robin chimed at shows you his influence in this version of the saudi sopranos in the last month in terms of a lot of changes the leadership made. he is one of people that it's not curtailed in a certain way and shows you the outside influence because if he was there even more backlash than there is now. it's co-opted by the establishment and recognizing a lot of the messenger that may be associated with the regime may not be the best method for do have the top cleric, he may be seen as part of the state establishment so you have to figure out who has independent organic voices and society that can combat the message. .. could you talk a little bit about what institutional capacity the united states government either has or needs to have in order to effectively address these problems? >> that's a great question. i think there is a couple things. one is that i talked about being nimble, the speed, part of this is a network approach. it takes a network to defeat the network. they have set up an entity that has the structure to try to tackle the

narrative network for that matter, at cnn, to try and bring the trump administration down. >> sean: this year is going to be massive in terms of news, especially about the corrupt media, and there are very, very nervous, rightly so, people like hillary clinton. they should be nervous. people will be going to jail, i promise. >> sean, i would say, what makes people the most nervous and the media, when the effects of the president's tax cuts go into effect in people start seeing,pl as they are now, from industry after industry, company after

heather: why do you call it a false narrative?on they neil has changed and seems to change repeatedly depending on what agenda they need to meet but the overarching narrative is on every street corner there is a white police officer waiting to shoot an unarmed black man but goes against what the facts are. according to the fbi in 2016, 7800 blacks were fatally shot. of the 7800, 233 were fatally shot by the police. of the 233 only 16 were unarmed. we go from 7800 to 233 to only 16 be an unarmed black men who were shot by the police. the 16 doesn't take into consideration anyone who violently resisted arrest but it does go to show this narrative around every corner is a white police officer waiting to us all the black man. heather: is that doing a disservice to martin luther king jr. and others, in the civil rights movement, doing a disservice to him? >> i am walking my children, i have a dream speech, when he gave that speech in washington mall, he compared the declaration of independence to a promissory note. the declaration of i

but, we have that narrative simultaneously with the narrative that president trump weighs colluding with it, michael. come get me. he is a liar. this man is a fabulousist. his book is as factual truth grounds in it as harry potter. the fact is i love the fact that president trump is living rent-free in the minds of these people. let him tweet as much as he wants to. the left is deluded. the great things is the american people see through it when that paycheck lands in february you know what? they will be happy they are getting more money thanks to tanks reform. we have the elite live in little my larr coated bubble. when anderson cooper is happy to get 700,000 viewers overnight, you know cnn, the "new york times," "the washington post" they're an irrelevancy to america. griff: i suppose we will continue to here more from the president pushing back on twitter as he has always morning on the fact that you say this narrative about the mental snability i snability ist true. pete: never before seen tworl intercepts of fighter jets by the u.s. air force over the te'o baltic sea last fall. take

and the fact that narrative has to change.bout the american flag and the star spangle banner. it's more about the america's failure to dole with the socioeconomic blight of persons of color and disenfranchise in this nation in a way that is helpful that, is going to move the nation forward and bring us together and unite us. >>> so what do you say to those when they try to have had a conversation about this protests, and the lives that they feel are lost, the lives that are harmed, what about when there's -- all of this crime in chicago, black on black crime where more people are dying and are injured, where is the moral equivalency, is that unfair. >>no moral equivalency. blacks make up a 13% of the population, but a disproportionate nu freedom and equity have been a paster tension throughout american history. there's those who say it's about freedom and some say it's about equality. when we sees the disparity between people in that society. we have to step back and say why is there such a disparity between the quality of edu

>> it fits a narrative. >> he's an outsider? >> really?n he is. >> first of all, the stories about the white house are not terribly credible. nobody sits on a couch at the white house for hours on end listening for hours on end because nobody is talking around the couches. that doesn't happen. so the narrative of the book itself isn't that credible. the stories in it, yes, of course, they fit a narrative that i think we all know and understand. but does this tell us anything new about donald trump? no, it tells us a lot about steve bannon, though. >> well, you know, i think except that in a normal white house there's a process, there's a chief of staff that is credible and that knows what they're doing and you couldn't just walk in and be a fly on the wall. this is a white house that from everything that i understand about it is completely disorganized and especially in the period when michael wolff says that he was there. there was nobody obviously to filter information to donald trump or to filter who could hang around and talk to his st

it will start to be a re-election narrative. he thinks the democrats are not relevant and until democrats become relevant, he will continue down a path that seems to be working for him. >> so the president pretty much stuck to the script when he was in davos. and then declaring on twitter, the speech was well received. has he lowered the bar if he just doesn't go off the rails doesn't night, this is considered a win or do you worry if there is any negative feedback. he immediately takes to twitter. >> i think you bring up a really good point. the bar has been set so low by this president, given his erratic reactions to things, if he stays on script, i think a lot of people will call it a win. knew b number two, state of the union addresses are usually to unite the country and not divide. i'm expecting the president to take jabs at democrats no power in the house, senate or the white house on tuesday night and further divide the country. we'll see what happens but my expectations are frankly very low. >> how is president trump in

election the narrative will never cease against russia and the notion collusion because we still seek to take advantage from russia over arctic mineral natural resources and that's what the crux of all this has been since two thousand and eleven so unfortunately even though this could be a huge smoking gun that narrative will not cease and there provocation and spreading that continuously you hear it every day in the halls of congress to throughout this town so that's not going to change i wish it would but it just simply won't want daniel and like jack that's a very interesting point i believe this and russia hysteria will continue irrespective ok it's not based on anything it's just a hysterical supposition that is been inserted into public discourse here but i mean it will in this kind of goes into my mantra about the media i mean when we read the memo we all will it's only four pages of we all read it very fast and we'll depending on how you look at everything you're going to come to conclusions very quickly i'm pretty sure about that but you know do you think this is what really

he's not going to let this narrative go unchallenged. it's a narrative that's not only true about the broader administration but it's attacking him this guy is not up for the job. which is not true. you disagree with someone politically fine, make that case. this nonsense that the left and this guy is engaged in it's counterproductive. >> somehow this is going to be the invoke the 25th amendment. >> notice that, who's involved with the 25th amendment. the cabinet. did he interview one member, no. >> we're going to continue this in a slightly different way. president trump's former chief strategist steve bannon expressing remorse for not responding sooner. comments that were critical of donald trump jr. and trump tower meeting he had in june 2016 with campaign officials and russians. bannon is quoted saying that meeting treasonous. he says donald trump jr. is a patriot and good man. my comments were aimed at paul manafort. a seasoned campaign professional with experience and knowledge how the russians operate. he should have known they ar

could be really telling and in part of this narrative cody i'd just like to know you know what kind of risk did you feel like you were facing under this kind of militarized threat. i mean there was always bullets whizzing by there was always going to sound cannons mace tear gas i mean i was i was tear gassed a couple dozen times may strictly by those mace cannons maybe five times i was shot with rubber bullets so there was always there was always that. and there was there was also always this sort of like you know being the only native film out there and this huge conversation going on about about natives taking back control of the narrative it's just it's sort of came conversation at this time also so there was a lot of weight on my shoulders as far as like telling the story properly you know because i think the narrative has has been for so long is that the reason why natives want to tell their own stories. to tell them is because they're not as good of filmmakers. natives or better that's why they get the big budgets all these all these big hollywood movies. so there was there was a

we can create and disseminate more powerful counter narratives and alternative narratives. the truth is the government doesn't have great credibility in the online space for good reason. we are too old, too big and too square. we need credible voices especially from community partners. so it's important that we help empower the groups with the information, partnerships and resources they need to be successful. this isn't a site that government can win on its own. our enemies are dispersed and crowd sourcing their activity. fortunately our allies are fighting with us in the same space. in the past years there's been tremendous progress in the prevention particularly in the technology centers. last july the united kingdom when he traveled to silicon valley to meet with a newly launched global intranet for him on counterterrorism. led by facebook, microsoft youtube and twitter it is the first time the major companies have come together to work on the research and technology techniques in this area. moreover committed to helping smaller companies that may not have the same reso

trump has a narrative, but it's a reality show narrative. as the "new york times" reported, he said we should see every day of the presidency as a day in which i conquer my enemies. and that's a very 21st century narrative. most other american presidents have had a kind of our authorian quest, where they're kind of an their way to someplace. i think that's the distinction. right now we're in this remarkable situation, if the market were way down, this would be a radically different conversation, more people would know about russia, there's a kind of a false lull because some classes in america are quite prosperous right now. but if that begins to get shaky, i don't think trump has a great deal of rope. >> john meecham and howell reigns, thank you both for your perspectives as we approach this momentous evening. >>> maxine waters is boycotting the state of the union, but sches here she is here on the beat tonight. >>> and andrew mccabe's departure from the white house and a debate on some of the divisions tonight and a very historical debate.

it's an interpretive narrative. democrats have a memorandum that's not being released that's saying the opposite. and ultimately the public gets confused on this. >> let me press you on that, when you say that the public gets confused, what if the full facts have never been publicly been used to release this kind of material related to a foreign intelligence surveillance act before? >> we haven't had that many fisa issues come before the house. but i think it's unprecedented to that extent. but this whole arlgument is unprecedented when you get into what's going on between the attorney general and the investigation. >> bob costa, when republicans and you're reporting today, what does it tell us when the republicans are reporting that the fbi is bad, does that change your mind at all? >> there's concerns there's an institutional battle between the institution of the republican party, and the institution the republican party has long venerated, the justice department. they want to move forward with this scrutiny, thou

news live from berlin under arrest in iran the government tries to turn the tide and change the narrative tens of thousands hit the streets in a show of force for the government as the general who has the revolutionary guards declares the sedition is defeated wear and tear on with the latest also coming up a step towards dialogue on the korean peninsula north korea reopens a hotline to the south ahead of next month's winter olympic games in south korea and. davis film scores will be looking at and listening to a movie about movie music that's opening this week. it's a pleasure to be with you we begin our broadcast with unrest in iran in a new development the general who heads the revolutionary guards has announced what he calls the end of sedition or for into putting down a week of mass anti-government protests the general says a large number of so-called troublemakers have been arrested he claims they received training from counter revolutionaries and says. firm action would be taken against them the general's remarks come as the government tries to change the narrative with state media

well you know this memo could and probably will unravel the russian collusion narrative right now over the memos classified secret and unfortunately the government over uses that to conceal information from congress but i think the pressure from the public is so strong that this memo will be released congressmen and senators who have seen it come out and said that is it is a shocking abuse of power by the f.b.i. and the cia for that matter who leaked the dustier information calling it intelligence or the memo is serious very possibly documents illegal criminal activity on the part of some f.b.i. agents we don't know whether it struck or who falsified to the fives a court and you don't live to a judge that serious this memo is going to come out i'm absolutely absolutely convinced it's going to stop the entire russian narrative and it's going to turn things back on what i hope will be a criminal probe into abuse of power and the uppermost levels of the f.b.i. daniel in washington would that prompt again betray my age here i could church commission or is it so polarized now that is would

well you know this memo could and probably will unravel the russian collusion narrative right now the memos are classified secret and unfortunately the government over uses that to conceal information from congress but i think the pressure from the public is so strong that this memo will be released congressmen and senators who have seen it come out and said that is it is a shocking abuse of power by the f.b.i. and the cia for that matter who leaked the dossier or information calling it intelligence or the memo is serious very possibly documents illegal criminal activity on the part of some f.b.i. agents we don't know whether it struck or who falsified evidence of it's to the pfizer court and you don't live to a judge that serious this memo is going to come out i'm absolutely absolutely convinced it's going to stop the entire russian narrative and it's going to turn things back on what i hope will be a criminal probe into abuse of power and the uppermost levels of the f.b.i. daniel in washington would that prompt again betray my age here i could church commission or is it so polarized

that's for a political narrative.candidly, having the vice chairman sitting in this chair doing the same thing isn't any better. so what happens is they're destroying the credibility of the one committee that gets access to information that no other committee on the capital gets. i worry about that. these aren't investigations anymore. these are campaigns. they're an extension of campaigns. if i can give you the five facts that make you think the guy is a rotten dog or good dog, i win. that's a dangerous model when you have the government infearing with people's lives. when you're starting to attack an institution like the fbi? there may be a few bad apples, but it's an incredible institution for the united states for the work they do. >> i'm sorry. there are inspectors general whose job it is to investigate these types of things. >> i want to thank everybody on the panel. next peele talk about the implications of any release of the house a republican memo and whether robert mueller needs congressional protection. tur

security narrative. in the stop in the last twenty years you see clearly different narrative you see also the narrative. countries they have a different view of different security narrative. and i think we see. a platform that provides a space for dialogue. to all sides this is a very interesting question as far as the always purpose is concerned because when our going to zation was created during the cold war as the east last four on the trust between the sides was also very low but at that point of time the right to their own. worldview was recognized i wonder if in a certain way you are actually talking about taking the always see to its very own regions when this organization would be a forum for negotiating those fundamental viewpoint differences rather than being sort of a compliance clock for or and monitoring compliance club for one vision which is the atlantic vision which i think was the case for this organization in the late one nine ninety s and early to thousands i think the half a set of pr

the collusion narrative network for that matter at cnn.bring the trump administration down. >> sean: this year is going to be massive in terms of news, especially about the corrupt media and there are very, very nervous, rightly so, people like hillary clinton. they should be nervous. people will be going to jail. i promise you. >> sean: sean, i would say what makes people the most nervous in the media which the president's tax cuts go in effect and people start seeing after they are seeing now industry after industry, company after company bottom line paychecks going up. regulatory effect of what is he doing to bring back jobs in manufacturing i think is really going to sell the american people is the results the president's achieving through regular i can't tore effort. through the tax effort. through his efforts going to come through on infrastructure. all of this is actually going to deliver real results. >> sean: last thing, build the wall. build out wall u do it now. and then that will help everybody the country wants a secure border

have an equally strong and effective counter narrative to expose the flawed nature of that narrative. if you are killing innocent people on the streets and not as, that means it is holy duty. .t is militancy opportunity to provide that when they attacked a school, killing schoolchildren. children of those soldiers and officers fighting them in the mountains. to send a message that you are our enemy. only because not they had to do it as a national frombut a passionate duty these evil people. we swept through the old, and cleaned up the hideouts and ied factories. today, if you don't hear any because weary, it is were able to eliminate that. there areody tells us safe havens existing there we say please show us where. it's an opportunity. show us. eliminate if to anybody is hiding in a cave. if somebody says your intelligence is playing a double game and supporting these toitants i would ask them meet those officers and soldiers have lost children and loved ones in the attacks, and tell me they would allow their own fellow serviceman to support those people who kill their children. no.

which will fit my narrative and all of you guys are going to see that you were wrong this whole time and you get permutations of that from every direction and it's really grotesque that we get to the point where we're so excited that we might be proven correct by an act of violence that it's going to fit our narrative that we don't even bother to say whatever just happened this was tragic people lost their lives we just jump straight to this you guys are going to finally understand i'm right and that's really grotesque. one thing that's exciting for me to think about is what we really mean when we say we. you know in the united states there's a tendency to say well. you know x. y. z. is happening we have to do something and there's it's very easy to just say we think that we means you know the military of our of our particular state but there's a different we there's women all over the world who are dealing with patchy arche wherever they are and these women can work in solidarity with one another as women and be transformative in every single country that they're in it'll be a diffe

we also see that there have been a narrative, a post racial narrative, that was popular after the first election, 2008, but that then quickly has been put aside, fortunately in my opinion, because it certainly wasn't accurate, that we were in a post-racial state of being, but certainly that narrative was challenged by some other events of the last 20 years. most recently, the documentation of police shootings that we have all seen, with the use of cell phone video. we know about the impact of trayvon martin's shooting in 2012 and the acquittal of george zimmerman, the man who shot him. we know about certainly -- i don't need to rehearse all of the examples of police shootings, whether we are thinking about philando castille in minneapolis or michael ferguson -- mikal brun -- michael brown in ferguson. the "black lives matter" narrative and also the spread of campus activism that was spawned in response to the "black lives matter" and then the election of donald trump and the reality we're all experiencing right now. i'll comment about that later. let me just say that that's a lot of stu

>> an effort to put an alternative narrative out in the public domain.nd hope that they can somehow gain the advantage if you will. but they, i think as chairman rogers says, they are going to lose on this. a fisa warrant is approved by two of the three branches of government who has done extensive reviews of this information have gone forward with it. now you have a congressman who didn't read the material and write a summary of it. it is wrong and the executive branch should say you know what, you have nothing to do with classification. that is the executive branch's prerogative, stay out of the way. down the line, the president has said that congress gets declassifies things and endeavors to release it. >> republicans are not willing to meet with the fbi director to hear the bureau's concerns about the nunes memo. >> you may recollect that the senate put you out a lengthy document on how the fbi treated calling it torture. they did that simultaneously. they never spoke to any of us. never spoke to any of us to speak. do you know what it is like to be

they're struggling for a narrative? they're struggling for a narrative. because they see all these disparate slogans as well. they're surprised some of these 40,000 holly begans, efforts in support of the shah. i have not had a chance to ask the revolutionary gadd, why do we have 40,000 hooligans in the country. who are these hooligans? accept there are 40,000 hooligans. how come we have not been able to rehabilitate 40,000 hooligans risking their lives to be killed? what are the economic background of these hooligans and who are these people coming to streets? we has journalists are struggling with questions, as you guys in washington are struggling with questions, i think the revolutionary guards themselves, the system itself is also struggling for answers as well. and the answer is not easy. and it is almost impossible for this regime to provide. because people are protesting against the economic conditions. that has been compiled for the past 40 years. people have different kinds of grievances. you see that there are some ethnic minorities like arabs.

now they are going with this narrative that bolsters their own narrative that the man is unhinged. i want to play something that he said on "the today show" this morning with savannah guthrie, this is michael wolff who wrote this lurid book, let's watch. >> it was every 25 or 30 minutes, he would get the same three stories repeated. now it's the same three stories every 10 minutes. i will quote steve bannon. he's lost that. >> according to this report he says he's lost that. i've been around the president, i repeat things, i give speeches i say the same anecdotes. two people have a stopwatch in there? this is ridiculous. >> i want to give steve bannon the benefit of the doubt given mr. wolf's long history of a fabricator and a fictional writer. i think the facts are in. you might chalk this up to animus if it had happened after he had left the white house but we learned he was saying these things while he was on the white house payroll and he owed his loyalty to donald trump. the idea that the president didn't want to win, didn't expect to win? i >> laura: do take back what your ed

there's two narratives that stand out. one is a narrative of global economic growth.'s asset classes along the world, then there's the other narrative that says, well, there are a lot of risks not being priced into markets correctly. which of the two narratives strikes you more? on the time.ends for now, everything looks good. inflation's are good, but overall the macro environment still seems favorable. but, but, this won't go on forever. we are all trying to figure out what's going in. will we see exits coming through due to rising inflation? it's the latter -- it's that scenario that could play out, just depending on the timing. now, that looks unlikely this year. it's probably more likely for 2019 or 2020. yousef: when you look at u.s. equity markets, gains of 7% are not unheard of. there are other metrics that are unique for this rally. #btv 9424. talk about wealth created by u.s. stocks. this has surpassed any month on record. is a much bigger market cap. we are talking about $2 trillion of wealth creation before the end of the first month of the year. how do yo

we also see that there have been a narrative, a post-racial narrative, that was popular, after the first election, 2008, but that then quickly has been -- has been put aside, fortunately in my opinion, because it certainly wasn't accurate, that we were in a post-racial state of being, but certainly that narrative was challenged by some other events of the last 20 years, most recently, the documentation of police shootings that we have all seen with the use of cell phone video, we have soon the impact of the trayvon mart ton shooting shooting and the acquittal of the man who shot him. i decent need to rehearse the examples of police shootings, whether we're thinking about fill lap dough castille in minneapolis or michael brown in ferguson, massachusetts. the emergence of "black lives matter" part of the anywhere tough of the last 20 years, and also the spread of campus activism that was spawned in part in response to that block, then, of course, if we move quickly into the present time, the division, the divisive nature of the political election, the season in at the fall of 216, he elect
