marie—agnes strack—zimmerman, welcome to hardtalk. thank you very much for the invitation.a pleasure to be here. let's start with that word that olaf schulz used right after putin's invasion of ukraine, "zeitenwende". he promised it would be that word, a turning point for germany and its strategic thinking. more than a year later, do we see real evidence of that turning point, that zeitenwende? yes, yes, definitely we see it. it's a really important word, but it's, of course, not only a word, you need it in your mind. um, first of all, we have now the 100 billion euros for the bundeswehr. this is really important, more money for our army. we are looking for it for years. you said not so long ago that the german army has been bled dry. so now it's the right direction. but that's an extraordinary thing for you to say. how could germany allow its military machine to become useless? yeah, it's...it�*s a story of the ending of the cold war, 1990. and everybody thought all over the world that after, you know, after the cold war, everything will be fine. everything will be like li

let's bring in robert zimmerman, the democratic candidate that lost to him.l committee. >> i'm a committee member, it's a volunteer position. >> do you know the charges? >> i heard a lot of speculation. i read speculation. it focuses on the campaign finances. that makes the most sense. nothing about his finances ever added up or made sense. they need the department of justice to step in and do the forensic work required. this is quite encouraging. that's quite encouraging to see the system of justice move forward and our department of justice move really expeditiously at this point to bring him to justice. our district's been betrayed. >> you make point, nothing about the campaign finances ever made sense. there is a lot of litigation inside washington and the national democratic party. did they miss things or take advantage of clear signs? >> our campaign and the local media did everything they could to sound the alarm and draw attention around these issues. >> then what was lacking? >> i must tell you, the most important right now, phil, frankly, is moving

never mind daniel penny has not volunteered to be the right's next george zimmerman or kyle rittenhouseto vigilante heroes of the right who are beloved among republicans solely for killing people who they believe need killing, and getting acquitted for it at trial. penny is likely very busy working with his lawyer on his defense against a second degree manslaughter charge. though the crowdfunding site desantis promoted has already raked in more than $2 million, and here's the funny thing that's actually not so funny. republicans who every election cycle clearly believe they need a new and more frightening bogeyman to dangle in front of white working class voters, to terrify them into voting for the party of tax cuts for billionaires, have moved on from critical race theory and inflation to a toxic combination of drag shows, black history, brown immigrants, secret jewish overlords, george soros, and the always classic blue cities like chicago and new york are gotham. you, you, white citizens, can be the batman or superman. only republican batman and superman unlike the ones in the comics

during the election between zimmerman and santos none the, and i saw a robert zimmerman and the democratsust as much but none of the campaigns it showed the information that was out during the election. they liked that george santos was who we later found out him to be. yes, there are republicans in this district and there no guarantee a democrat would win a new election but many of the people who voted for george santos were voting for someone who they had no idea of what he was truly like. and he was lucky to be elected he was a republican governor candidate as well. i think the other point i want to get across is the person living in his district i have no representation and he's at the go because we, we need a congressman we need representation. it's a disgrace that we've had to put up with this and i don't think people who are living in other states understand what it's truly like to be in this district and that's really all i want to say. host: i will add to what you said the new york post ran this piece. he ran for governor indicted representative george santos should resign. rudy

robert zimmerman has spent months urging republicans to do just that. it is really speaking mccaughey the republican leadership obligation now to remove when i call upon them to do that. mccarthy's failure to take action to remove jorge santos. actually makes him and the republicans in congress, accomplices to his crimes, losing even one vote right now, for house republicans could be devastating. they have such a narrow margin right now that every vote literally does count, so they're not keen to lose anybody. but i do think there's a growing sentiment that that santos is just not worth the risks or the or further the political downside that's associated with him in the web of lies. santos ran on the promise that anyone could succeed in our country and as your congressman pledged to protect the american dream for all young, gay brazilian american republican seen by some as what could be the future of the party, but it turned down his resume was littered with false claims from the schools. he says he attended the prestigious horsemen high school. new yor

anna zimmerman when her home flooded in 2015, two years later, when hurricane irma hit, she knew it was time to leave. like much of the charleston area, it was built on filled marshland. the house just fills with water and it's dirty water. and then it starts to bury everything. some, like margaret peery, who lives with her special needs son, are taking matters into their own hands. her home, the first in charleston's iconic historic district to be elevated six feet higher than it was before. we either had to sell the house or we had to elevate the house. this is all orig, pine structu. yeah. builder and architect, buz morris says. it was a complicated and costly process. about $400,000. but now dozens more projects like it are underway as flooded historic homes are losing value. people are looking at that from money standpoint. they're saying, well, my house is going down ten, 20, 30%. is it worth putting in the money to raise it? money that many of those on charleston's east side don't have an area challenged by flooding. and judge revocation derrick milligan. his mom has lived here f

the third company of the battalions was headed by yogam zimmerman, the commander of the battalion sectionn ob berscharführer with kaminsky grenadier. almost in full force, the battalion of the dir, the lewanger entered, the entire logoisk, the police, the team accepted already trained people of those who collaborated with the occupation authorities for the forty-first year, who knew how to use weapons, and most importantly, participated in punitive actions, joining the ranks of the ss unit, they re-adopted the oath of allegiance to the third reich and hitler, all the military personnel were lined up on the site where the barracks were located, and the commander of the subdivision zalivanger came out, where the interpreter read the text of the oath in german, each of them repeated the text of the oath after the interpreter, they approached the table. and where they signed under the text and at the end they said everything that the german said, with his hand raised up, that they were ready to be to the end and serve the third rail. in may, the forty-third battalion of the dirlewangers in fu

war only two years later, for two years they discussed whether to enter it or not, and only when zimmermanmperial minister of foreign affairs, telegraphed to mexico that we would sink everything is absolutely everything and it was already an established fact that this would happen only then they went to war until pearl harbor happened, this is a terrible disaster of the american pacific fleet, the americans did not enter the war and europe will remain in this inertia as well. we want it, we don't want it, so it will be in order for a full-fledged act of war to take place, nato acts against russia, a missile must fly to bohdan in the bundestag, god grant that this never happens, but i cannot give another example, i apologize to our viewer somewhere for such geopolitical cynicism, but only actions of this scale will provoke a military response from their side, otherwise it won’t happen. well , myroslav the czech was visiting us, he is a former member of the polish diet, and he said that you know what he said about the negligence of the polish military and polish politicians. he says that the

and make one quick point about zimmerman, if i could. the zimmerman telegram is of course, is a is a is well known historically. but what's interesting about it is that it wasn't the only crazy note that the germans were sending and and people who worked over here who were german agents would come up with ideas that almost look like keystone cop ideas, which this just happened to be one they found out about. so that gets to the second point. how did they find out about it? well, the british had control of communications without getting into all the details, didn't want the united states to know how they knew it. it went to the united states and then went from the united states to mexico city. and because the british didn't want them to the united states to know what all that they knew and all that they were listening to, that they actually had to have someone go to mexico city, an agent in mexico city, to go to the post office there or the telegraph office and get a copy of this. so the copy they would give to the ambassador in britain p

zimmerman says anything that uses generic or romanticized native imagery is probably not authentic.armful? >> for one thing, american indian artists aren't getting credited for their work, and with the electoral property rights and things like that, native americans -- let's say they have a beaver design and it is appropriated and put on a shirt and someone is selling it, you just ripped off my art. reporter: but it's complicated. some big name companies that have appropriated native designs for years are also beloved by many native americans. some are now trying to make amends. jori miller sherer is president and a fourth-generation family member at minnetonka. her great grandfather got involved with the company in 1946. her grandfather joined soon after. >> it was really at that time a gift shop souvenir company. that was a time in our country people were going on road trips. reporter: the native-inspired moccasin became the best-seller. >> 77 years, for the majority of that time, did not understand cultural appropriation. i would say in the last decade we've really started to thi

. >> seven 911 calls in all beginning with this one from george zimmerman. >> get away. >> are you followingokay. we don't need you to do that. >> shock, confusion, and fear. you can hear it in the voice of every caller. >> i just heard a shot behind my house. >> people said he shot him dead. the person is dead. he is laying on the ground. >> when the police arrive, they don't arrest him. here you have somebody who just kills an unarmed african american teen, who wasn't doing anything. i mean this is several weeks before there is actually an arrest, in part because you have prosecutors and police who are saying, well, it's a stand your ground, right? even though he was the aggressor. that shook african americans to the core. not just because of the tragedy of the moment, but because we seen it before. >> the african american community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history. that -- that doesn't go away. i had an interview with him. and we were talking about race. and it was very clear to me that he was being delicate in the extreme. the interview ended. he walks

[david] seven 911 calls in all beginning with this one from george zimmerman., confusion, and fear, you can hear it in the voice of every caller. when the police arrive, they don't arrest him. here you have somebody who just kills an unarmed african american teen who wasn't doing anything. several weeks before there is an actual arrest, in part because you have prosecutors and police who are saying, "well, it's stand your ground, right?" even though he was the aggressor. that shook african americans to the core. not just because of the tragedy of the moment but because we've seen it before. the african american community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn't go away. i had an interview with him and we were talking about race. and it was very clear to me that he was being delicate in the extreme. interview ended, he walks out of the oval office, he goes down the hall, and then he turns all the way back and comes back, and says, "look, you have to understand when i talk about race, it just changes everything. and it can

it reminded me of george zimmerman, a case i fought with trayvon martin. that guy walked out that night and why did it take four days for his name to be released? after all, jordan neely's name and criminal history was made public hours after the incident and all we knew about the man that allegedly killed him is that he did military service. >> reverend al, daniel pennies regret is coming too late. when he was there on the ground choking jordan neely for what we already know is approximately 15 minutes, 15 minutes choking him, you know, we've done some research and we found out that 35 to 45 seconds in a hold like that makes someone unconscious. 15 minutes is 20 times the amount of time that it would take to render someone unconscious. that's how long daniel penny held jordan neely in a hold like that. and the police, who showed up, had access to daniel penny right there, the killer, right on the spot. had access to every witness they needed to question. this is an open and shut case. it's a ground ball. there is no need to extend an investigation, so to

this is now the party that stood behind george zimmerman, who killed trayvon martin.o daniel penny's defense which has now raised more than $1 million since he was charged with that manslaughter. and by the way, that money is being raised on a christian crowdfunding side that has become the go-to site for four right-wing causes in america like the legal defense funds for kyle rittenhouse, the january six rioters, and whistleblowers who spread anti vaccine disinformation. >> maybe they should fund free bibles that you get in hotel room to trump supporters to actually read the parable of the goods barrington. >> it's great to see you as always my friend enjoy the rest of your evening off. coming up, on ayman. the stench of desperation. republican plans to smear president biden are failing and this week was their most embarrassing charade yet. plus, stopping another santos congressman richie torres joins me to discuss his legislation that would block politicians like santos from lying to voters and the hits, well, they just k

visit of zelensky hedgehog, the chairman of the bundestag committee on defense, marie ognes shtrak zimmermaniev, he noted that no western fighters , be it a tornado or a euro-fighter, should not be over the airspace of ukraine, and after that there was another news. we also thought that this is a mockery or not a mockery in price. evaluate for yourself the german ministry of defense announced that germany will supply ukraine with four additional air defense or st systems, but four, so that you understand on the entire front line - this is four, this is not 400. and let's discuss this whole thing with germany in our connection, political scientist, independent journalists, gregor, spitsyn, gregor. hello, good afternoon in reaction. in germany, zelensky's visit is very interesting, because according to the last. the news, somehow, did not seem to convince them very much. well, your authorities will give him fighter jets and additional weapons, because the statement sounds, but how is that? well, not a sop, maybe, but an openly negative scenario for zelensky well, at least so it seems to us. we

drawn further and further and it seems that yes, even germany is already and not only as much as zimmermanliver scholz, too, have already succumbed to this hysteria, and they are already almost they are going to fight, but they make such a very serious spade. sometimes you can not remove the leg back and do not have time. uh. and of course, uh hmm, now we have been talking about this from the very beginning of the conflict, but now it ’s just obvious that the main provocateur in this whole story is the same britain, because uh, when you look at the story there tanks, when he stubbornly said to berlin, let first the american then we, that is, all this so -called, tank coalition, as it were, enters to a dead end, and then the british op appear and give their challenger , as it were, take the next step and they break through, that is, with long-range missiles , everyone huddles, crumple, no one wants to be the first just in case, then suddenly then he will fly in, then the british appear and once and give long-range missiles. i mean, they do it all the time. first step. by the way, can i inte
