A come november if the economy is humming along at four percent g. D. P. And and trumps numbers are at fifty percent i think the house could very well stay in the hands of the republicans and the senate and donald trump in my opinion twenty twenty will be reelected and thirty four more years just say you know based on all of your elections and history the democrats might take that oh yeah with donald trump is very unpopular. Among democrats you have this whole trump investigation you have people demanding that he be impeached yeah this is generally speaking in an off year like this the out party gain seats so theres no reason why that ought not happen its just a question of how damaging is going to be larry say right it will be right back with more politicking. Unfortunately it appears that once people learn that youve reported a Sexual Assault or may have been involved in an incident that day becomes scared of you instead of being scared of the perpetrator. Had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. I never had to worry about how i would eat and where i would speak. But im facing christmas of love out on the streets of london. I could love the glory like. You know just to still give a bit of hope to. But you dont really feel like hes the big you know. And then. That guy just came over smithsonian changes this book. Come back to politicking im told that larry elder the conservative nationally syndicated radio host a New York Times best selling author i recently spoke with Bobby Kennedy jr about all sure drilling being open by the Top Administration you live in california right so what are your thoughts about drilling off your coast i have no problem with it a lot of environmentalists would not like it and i suspect theres going to be a big push back because of that its also interesting that florida has a republican governor and they all like in the donald trump has pretty much pulled back because of that surprise surprise politics has entered the area of environmentalism whod a thunk a you an environmentalist i want clean air i want a clean water im not in a alarmist public im poly when i was a kid i used to be called a little old lady in tennis shoes interested in the environment and we laughed at them. And now see other way around well it with Richard Nixon the start of the e. P. A. The first e. P. A. I dont agree that republicans want dirty water and dirty air we just disagree about how to a achieve a better economy and i dont believe in this Global Warming alarmists are made very environments give me and i dont believe in this Global Warming are in alarmism that were going to go to hell you know Climate Change theres always Climate Change the climate is always changing thats one thing carbon affects it i think mankind has had something to do with it by. How do you explain the little medieval warming period when we didnt have factories when the environment with war was warmer than it is right now i think man has something to do with it but the idea that were all going to die unless we force feed our economy into some sort of green tech i think its foolish i think youre denies science i am denying that one degree warmer over the last hundred years prompts this kind of alarmism that were having from so many countries and so many leaders like obama but in i hard for a layman you and i laymen to deny science ninety eight percent of scientists and you laugh at them heres what i would ask any layman to do go online and google the civil heretick is an article this in New York Times magazine about a man named Freeman Dyson probably the smartest man in the world hes a physicist not a climate scientist but a physicist and got interested in this issue a few years ago Read Everything he could and included that al gore was full of it that there is something going on with our with our climate but the Climate Changes all the time man has man has a role but his role is probably small and he believes the whole thing is a crock now the reason its called a civil to heretic is because hes a kind guy hes a nice man hes an obama supporter voted twice for him its not political he just looked at the data and believes that its overreach thats one guy against the world and you know Albert Einstein was once told two hundred scientists believe hes wrong he said all i need is one to prove im wrong. Great seeing you two continuing the conversation im now joined by bill press and over and progressive commentator host of the bill pressure though on the Young Turks Network hes in washington d. C. The federal judge brought the dismantling of a doc thats going to have the next bill. Well first of all its i think its a good decision certainly for seven hundred thousand young people who are in the Dreamers Program because. No decision of their is they were brought here to this country when they were kids infants toddlers some of them never lived anywhere else theyve got jobs theyve graduated from high school or college a lot of them of served in the military i believe this is the only country they know and they make up the fabric of this country now in the future of this country so i think its good that they have protection by this judge larry but its only temporary you know this is going to be appealed to the Supreme Court this does not get congress off the hook congress is going to have to decide what to do about these young people eighty percent of the American People think that they should be allowed to stay here without fear of deportation i Hope Congress does the right thing senator flake things though that the federal judges ruling will lessen the urgency in congress that well i think hes wrong because number one its only temporary for sure two it will be appealed three while they are can going to continue to take reno applications they cant take any applications for any new people who arent already in the program so a lot of people still are going to be hurt by this congress the congress that larry you know congress is always looking for a way out right kick the can down the road i dont think they can do it for very long on this bill are we going to see all. You know i dont think so honestly i dont i know donald trump says over and over again no protection for dreamers no immigration legislation on less there is a wall i think its going to be tough to get congress to spend you know what this wall cost twenty five Million Dollars a mile for twenty five Million Dollars you could you could do probably twenty thousand kids on the childrens Insurance Health program for a year or so for congress to say that a mile of that wall is more important than for protecting the health of kids or other priorities i think is going to be tough even for some republicans but heres what you and i know larry if they build this wall that was going to be as high as a kid he can make it and on top of that wall there are going to be gold letters t r u m p just like every trump tower that you and i know around the world probably a nightclub and to see you know someone nearby probably says yeah this is a monument trump wants us as a monument to him you know so theres the china wall and the trump law. I think its going to be tough. Concerning the rushing investigation President Trump said it seems unlikely he will give an interview in the mall or visitation he also said ill see what happens do you think the president will wind up talking to the special counsel. I think hes going to have to you know bill clinton didnt want to talk to the special counsel but he did Hillary Clinton didnt want to talk to the f. B. I. But she did if Robert Muller i dont see how Robert Mueller can conclude his investigate by the way the other thing the president said in that News Conference with the Prime Minister of norway was theres no collusion no collusion no collusion everybody agrees Everybody Knows thats not true that Robert Mueller has not made that finding and we dont know what hes got so keep saying that its not true i dont see how mahler can complete his investigation without talking to the president number one and number two i dont see how if muller the special counsel request a meeting with the president the United States whos the chief target of this investigation i dont see how the white house can refuse that im not a lawyer but i think they would have to come to terms with it maybe theyll try to limit it say its got to be you know no cameras or its got to be secret or only certain questions are allowed but i think i think youre going to see in the white house Robert Mueller sit down with donald trump where you see this whole thing going. I here heres what my guess is and theres everybody in washington has a theory you know around the country i guess i believe this is not stopping first of all with paul mann of ford and George Papadopoulos its not stopping with Michael Flynn thats going higher i think it goes to jared cushion or on a lot of financial stuff i think it might even snare yvonne. I doubt that it goes all the way to donald trump but it could and one thing thats very. Very strong element here is the f. B. I. Does believe most of what was in that famous they call it the dossier put together by Christopher Steele for usually g. P. S. And forget the salacious stuff there are a lot of stuff in there about how russia for years going back years have been trying to influence and get some hawk into donald trump way before the campaign started so it could go as high as the president what do you think of the blackmail insinuation. Its certainly i think its credible i think is possible and Christopher Steele again who was hired former british by hired by this firm fusion g. P. S. Which is an Opposition Research firm they work for a lot of clients candidates Christopher Steele was hired by them was so concerned about the possibility that trump was being blackmailed by the russians that he actually went to the f. B. I. Himself and said hey you guys ought to be aware of this so he took it seriously and the f. B. I. Is taking it seriously think well have a Government Shutdown. I dont think so you know i. Have seen one right with newt gingrich. Ten years for fifteen twenty maybe twenty years ago now it didnt work too well for nucular it didnt work so well for the republicans i think a Government Shutdown would hurt both parties and i think both of them are would like to would almost do anything to avoid it but i think the one thing democrats are not going to go for this deal the trump is offering them larry right now there hes saying yeah you you can have your dreamers if you give me eight hundred billion dollars from my wall ive talked to a lot of democrats on the hill in the last couple of days since theyve been back and i havent found one democrat who would vote for that deal congressman ed royce and congressman dan liason both of california both republicans are not going to seek reelection is that an indication that the democrats are going to have a good time in the. It certainly helps their case to first or you know larry im former democratic chair of california and. The those are two seats that democrats can win darrell almost lost the last time and hes in northern San Diego County you and i know thats not heavy democratic territory he won by less than half a percent and ed royce as a district that is changing as well i think it immensely helps the democrats chances in california to pick up at least a couple more if not three or four more seats and they only need twenty one to take back control of the house and everybody says oh twenty one seeds man thats a thats a big lift well its it is a big lift but in two thousand and ten when john boehner and the republicans took back the house they won sixty five seats so twenty one is not a lot when you compare it to what bain was able to do i think the democrats chances for the house and for the senate and twenty eighteen. With all these retirements are looking better every day. One of his manger days was the infrastructure and that both parties agree that that was a major thing where is it going you know what larry. Heres what that really is im just i cant understand that. If donald trump first of all it quickly answered your question and ive asked several members of congress the last couple of days nobody is talking about infrastructure anymore no party won. Well i dont get it donald trump last year instead of starting to repeal obamacare starting with that if he had started with infrastructure and he talked about remember a trillion dollars he was going to a trillion dollar Infrastructure ProgramBernie Sanders talked about the same thing if donald trump and started with an infrastructure bill he could have had bipartisan support democrats republicans gotten that bill through in a months time and there would be jobs it would be money out of every Congressional District in the country it would have been a huge colossal when instead he started on this repeal of obamacare and they spent what six seven eight months on that and never got it done so there. Again i think they should do it this year but i can tell you nobody is talking about it and i think theyre making a big mistake i agree thanks bill zones great talking to you happy new year larry youre doing this and thank you for joining me today on this edition of politics you remember you can join the conversation on my Facebook Page or three kings things dont forget use the politicking hash tag and so for this edition of politicking. In two thousand and sixteen the Panama Papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets two trillion United States dollars passed through most. In the amount of time that weve been in the Panama Papers exposure thats what it shows for money it really is. Journalism its an act of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these. Millions of fonseka documents were examining. All the people which basically have tried to get an advantage out of this thought it was his paper. And probably other politician which were. Other politicians the media would point to find targets such as the kings of morocco in saudi arabia the president of argentina several Prime Ministers. In russian president Vladimir Putin of course. That had so i have sued so many newspapers to defamation some things dont just happen by chance it was very striking there were no more americans to go especially a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china that their special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. Of the panama chronicles. Its being called an olympic truce after months of over the top rhetoric the two careers are talking again the first time in two years is this a serious diplomatic opening or merely a ploy south korea appears to welcome this opening is the same apply to washington. In the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox ellis was customs are here permanently all the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening times. Opposite it is from his office the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe masterpieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani i cant boards and sold inside this warehouse thats where the report comes in it covers a deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet felt but also discreet because they concern fraud of some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the Geneva Freeport system youll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the worlds black box of the art business. Americas ai invasion the us army is on the lookout for software so it can automatically post messages on social media also to come this hour on r. T. An undercover investigation should jest that twitter is preventing users from seeing certain kinds of political content through a technique only a shadow banning and a top girls school in britain decides its time to stop labeling people is girls with a controversial gender neutral policy we hear from some of the local. So they welcome you watching r. T. International this friday morning which just gone ten oclock in moscow now the u. S. Army is looking to acquire software which can automatically analyze and post messages on social media the military wants a system that can communicate with different audiences in multiple languages with more details now his kind of. The ad was posted on the website of government opportunities and it calls for people to work at the request of the u. S. Army intelligence and security command and the task theyre asking for would be the creation of software that can read social media posts and determine and distinguish the positive from the negative now theyre looking for the software to go from there and create replies in the same tone as the original now the Software Actually is requested to include a number of languages among them farsi korean and russian now this is quite interesting in light of the fact that all throughout media allegations have been made that in russia there are troll farms or armies of bots being deployed to influence the United States via social media this allegation has been very widely circulated in the us press theres been talk about it in congress all kinds of allegations have been leveled about russia allegedly trying to influence the United States through social media but this advertisement talking about hiring someone at the request of intelligence in the United States it is simply appears as if the u. S. Army is looking to do the very same thing that russia is accused of doing well the pentagon is still to reply to all requests for comment on this story but we did manage to discuss the she with the n s a whistleblower William Binney and also my five agent and. What they really want to do is be able to monitor Royce Communications or any kind of Communications Text and be able to assess it and. Check it for other threats or things like that or even. From some of the manipulation programs even respond. And try to manipulate the other person at the other end so i mean all intelligence agencies have this is one of their objectives white papers are generally circulated among contractors who do business with the government so it is a little unusual to see these things out in the public as far as i know the most obvious interpretation would be that this is a pushback against the allegations that have been made consistently for the last eighteen months about socalled russian troll farms influencing elections across the west and its interesting to see that the languages that theyre advertising for are the language of iran and of course north korea and russia so that would be a bit of a sort of give away about which countries they want to be targeting now if youve ever felt that youre being ignored on twitter it could be down to the social network century without your knowledge and undercover investigation by the Anticorruption CampaignGroup Project veritas has revealed there is a practice known as shadow banning one. Shadow. What she. Does think that it wants. Well you know what well according to project there are a tacit shadow banned as hide the content of a particular user without knowing the user continues to post on the platform to their followers but the tweets wouldnt appear anywhere else on twitter people in the video who are said to be twitter employees to claim that these measures target right leaning content smear account as more. Well the social media giant has presented itself as politically neutral but project veritas seems to revealed otherwise according to several employees whove been caught on camera twitter regulates its content by controlling what its users can see on their feet now one of twitters policy managers says that the company is currently developing a system that down ranks controversial users and another employee says twitter is trying to ban a certain way of talking online so theyre going to be going. Simply to make sure the things that. You know. Its good to them in the mindset of the use of the twitter can also apparently dig into its users profiles and conversation history to figure out their political leanings and then determine whether or not they should be banned and another issue that came up was Julian Assange just twitter account and the fact that it was deleted without explanation a couple weeks ago but an employee was asked about it and he did hint at one possible reason. Why. We cant verify if these are real twitter employees are not and if they are they definitely could be lying but regardless the whole issue is definitely something to investigate further well twitter did respond to the allegations saying it is committed to enforcing its own rules without bias and empowering every voice on the platform the group behind the revelations those it makes reputation critics to say the project very task is to provide an edited video of its bomb shows with some also saying that the group does have a Strong Political agenda we spoke to russell the executive director of project veritas. It is twitter overstepping it well if theyre sharing information with the federal government voluntarily i think i would think they would be overstepping however whenever youre ready as goes onto a website they agreed to the policies of that website and if you work through the part proxy policies of twitter it gives them the right to every bit of information you have opposed you deleted and they have the right to sell that information given away so were giving away an awful lot to these companies when they come out and publicly say they want to be the public forms of free speech yet theyre censoring free speech and theyre slanting what free speech can or cant be heard and then theres a problem now would stay with social media because a Facebook Post has helped capture a japanese gang land boss whos been on the run for more than ten years. One of britains leading girls schools is stopping referring to its people says girls in a controversial move to adopt more gender neutral language altering them Grammar School here for girls defended the policy saying it is trying to break in grain habits to help students with gender identity issues adding that we welcome and celebrate diversity although the move has got people wondering how the girls school should not be described. Well the school does say its got no plans actually to drop the word girls from its title we are some of the locals what they think about the gender neutral policy. The majority of us would be happy to be called girls ridiculous i think girls are girls and boys are boys theres too many pressures on pupils too much attempt to move everything towards gender neutrality i think it actually leads to more confusion rather than clarification this is a girls school and its extraordinary that children are being encouraged to go along the path were going to have more and more children with Mental Health problems who are confused and unhappy by all means support children who have a gender issue but dont do it at the expense of the majority do not rob them of their gender identity we only need to apply those basic principles of religions that we treat other people how we wish to be treated and we solve the problem we need to stop foisting pushing adult neuroses onto these young children.
