will call the democratic west -- i'm not talking about the specific coast but talking west of the urals to the pacific ocean. number two, there is a way forward. it makes substantively and politically. number three, the congress of the united states and especially the house of representatives as currently structured is an obstacle to the expression of what i believe we will the majority will be on this question. number one and i will make this point very quickly. survey research including some i've been involved with documents reports of the immigration issue writing the outcome the 2016 president election and expect most of you know that but you may not know that it was also a decisive issue -- unless you follow european politics as passionately as i do you may not know that in virtually every country in europe, west of the urals, immigration has been the most important driving issue and the rise of populist parties and populist government. i can go country by country whether the afe, in germany or the league in italy or most recently sweden democrats and i could go through all the oth

threat towards russia because these missiles will be capacity of reaching russian areas far beyond the ural mountains and there's definitely a substantial threat towards russian national security and secondly it will undermine the capacity. to strike back in case nuclear. nuclear conflict. so it will undermine the grounds of stability in terms of nuclear weapons in more general terms and definitely russia will have to respond and as mr already one year ago mentioned the russian response will be immediate it will be very quick and we do have capacities to do that but all that would put into a completely new zone of highest possible risks the whole area of europe so the european countries are hostages of this situation and i hope they will be able to express their opinion on this we see how germany start story and to be see how france starts to react but unfortunately we see other countries like the united kingdom who are a steal go bring in the tricks of the united states of america supporting them in all of their explosive. could it be that mr trump is trying to use his leverage here as he

russia because these missiles will be will have capacity of reaching russian areas far beyond the ural mountains and there is definitely substantial threat towards russian national security or they do not need any longer any agreements in the field of strategic armaments and intermedia missiles and all that stuff because then it would create equal opportunities equal circumstances for each party involved in a certain agreement and this is what they would not like to accept any longer they are they are seeking the unilateral military advantage they want to be the only power in the world who takes decisions what is good in the waters bit who is guilty and who is innocent to judge and to punish other countries and for their they do not need these type of agreements unfortunately the treaty was signed over thirty years ago but tension surrounding it have been growing for several years already is a recap. just. the arms race is getting out of control. i'm with you we did not initiate this time of events as you know it was not we who pulled out of the antiballistic missile treaty russia has

i'm talking you know, i'm talking west of the urals to the pacific ocean. number two there is a way forward, there is a way forward that makes sense substantively, and that makes sense politically, number three, the congress of the united states and especially the house of representatives, as currently structured, is an obstacle so if the expression of what i believe the majority will be on this question. survey research including some that i've been involved with. documents the importance of the immigration issue. in driving the outcome, of the 2016 presidential election in the united states. it was also a decisive issue in the brexit vote. unless you follow european politics as passionately as i do, you may not know that in virtually every country in europe, west of the urals, immigration has been the most important driving issue in the rise of populist parties and populist governments, i could go through country by country. whether it's the afd, in germany, or the league in italy. or most recently, the sweden democrats. and coy go through all the other c

as passionately as i do , you may not know that in virtually every country in europe, west of the urals, immigration has been the most important driving issue and the rise of populist parties and populist governments. i could go through country by country. whether it is the asd in germany or the league in italy. for more recently the sweden democrats. i could go through all of the other countries. the austrian coalition came to power on the strength of this issue. et cetera, et cetera, et cetera tiered we are not alone. we are not alone and here, doris, i, i would like to add something to what you said in your introductory remarks. in the united states and throughout the west, this is not just a national security issue which you mentioned or an economic issue which you mentioned, it is also a cultural issue and a demographic issue. we cannot ignore that fact. it has to do with language. it has to do with differences of religion. it has to do with differences of ethnicity and national origin. unless we take that on board as part of our analysis, we will stumble at the threshold because w

the same time the inaugust ural fund is getting money from american russians who have business ties, a guy like len vlotnik, his company, another individual who gave a million dollars, we're seeing a lot of russian related money pouring in, often from people who never before were involved in giving big dollar donations to any political candidate. it certainly raises a lot of questions. >> you're saying -- >> so you're saying this is part of a pattern, if these e-mails we uncovered are authentic, how significant is it that kukis is reporting back to a high ranking russian official during the campaign as these donations are being rolled out? >> well, it could be highly significant. i liked how the ci expert said it seemed like there was something else going on in these communications, and they were -- there was something veiled going on. this is exactly the type of stuff that you have a special council to investigate. you know, you call people in, you try to find other e-mails, if these e-mails exist, there might be other e-mails out there in the same chain or that go later or earlier,

we want to make sure to take care of those 30 urals and 40 girls when they become seniors too. sen. brown: my career has been devoted to how to grow the economy by cutting taxes. you grow the economy from the middle out, not tax cuts that trickle down and supposedly help people. three fourths of this tax cut goes to the richest 1%. we know that. i went to the white house and presented two bills to the president. one said that the companies do the right thing, they get a lower tax rate. i presented the working families tax relief act, which focuses on tax cuts. i handed the bills to the president. he said he liked them. and the meeting started this turned into a three fourths of all the tax breaks went to the wealthiest 1%. people that congressman renacci went to help, the millionaires and billionaires, that is who the tax bill was written for. congressman renacci, as is well known, had $13 million in income he failed to report that he was not going to pay taxes on, claiming a loss, and the ohio tax commissioner went after him and made him pay interest and a lot of taxes on the $13 m
