A documentary about a famous psychologist with views that challenge Political Correctness we speak to the filmmakers. You have all of the people that are talking about and its this kind of like a. Culture war believing the all right or you know motivating him or that he is really dangerous ideas that. A very well well continue this monday morning youre watching R T International with me to our great to have you with us. U. S. President donald trump is demanding to meet the anonymous official who blew the whistle on his phone calls with his ukrainian counterparts the scandal surrounding the conversations led to the launch of an impeachment inquiry last week of a possible collusion with a foreign power trump claims the whistleblower. Account of what was said was totally inaccurate meanwhile the polls have emerged suggesting the u. S. Intelligence community changed the official whistleblower complaint for some time before the ukraine called scandal broke the requirements that whistleblowers have 1st hand knowledge was apparently axed arties were gansey have looks at this sudden change of standards and its possible ramifications most of us we reveal whistleblowers the men and women who put their careers their very lives on the line are the principle look the other way they speak up when they see corruption abuse and then justice. You know why we revere them so as we trust them a whistleblower any individual who provides the right information to the right people thats now changed you no longer need to be a witness to be a whistleblower no longer need to have documents or evidence all you need is to have heard someone talk about wrongdoing thats all it was a matter if it was false or made up just far less than hey presto you are a whistleblower like the individual who spawned the trump ukraine scandal he was told the trump said something questionable by anonymous officials told them wrong it seems at least some of it was already proved false the president pressured mrs umansky with a specific request that the ukrainian leader locate and turn over service used by the Democratic National committee and examined by the u. S. Cyber Security Firm strike. I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot in ukraine knows a lot about it and would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with ukraine they say crowd strike the server they say ukraine has it whatever you can do its very important that you do it if thats possible whistle blew is now essentially a 5050 anonymous source you get on c. N. N. For example fun to listen to but as practice shows as taken with a dose of salt source tells n. B. C. News Anonymous Sources youre basing all these allegations of one or maybe 2 sources which c. N. N. Isis not receiving any reports its Washington PostNew York Times wall street journal c. N. N. A. B. C. Elihu resources all because theyre hiding behind this in anonymity commonality were seeing this do you want me to youre just going to attack sources all of us who have been involved in National Security and have reported on waste fraud abuse in illegality if it wasnt lower because the. This whistleblower in particular fits the Mainstream Medias narrative of donald trump committing crimes he was automatically called it was a lower he was automatically assumed to have the National Interest at heart and im not not really sure that thats the case the think it all but crucified snowden and manning for exposing global surveillance on all of us and war crimes that wed never have known about but here you have a biased complaint riddled with a natural sees submitted by an individual who saw nothing but passed on what he was told the clear political spin to it and hes applauded cheered and praised. Ladies and gentlemen what is the noble name of whistle blower. And is just as phony and i use the word phony its just as contrived is just as fabricated as the whole. Charge is a good strong we know and we have proven theres nothing behind those no evidence no 1st hand the riff is 2nd hand evidence and now we have ukraine. Really very early on shown for what it is a political ploy to get president trump. The last us president who faced the prospect of impeachment proceedings was bill clinton and he was the democrats who are now demanding that trump be impeached singing a very different. Constitution was never intended to be used. To our political enemy. Were but never found a truth for you. Given to the house of representatives and the house alone who began an official investigation. As dictated by the council we are here today because the republicans in the house are paralyzed with hatred i rise to want to oppose these unfair motions which call for the removal of the president the United States from office. Im announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry the president must be held accountable no one is a bum for the American People dont think that they have made a mistake by electing to go clinton and we congress had better be very careful before we upset their decision. We have a president whos violated his oath of office. Mr congresss job to shoot a fraction. Tropicana. You dont even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job impeachment is about cleansing the. M. P. G. Is about restoring honor and integrity to the office. My point of view to each person over a phone call like this would be for a show of confidence credibility and of integrity present as a gauge of the 1st a pattern and practice of the structure of justice. The allegations are great the investigation is legitimate. Top class democrats are going to go through their impeachment it should be only 3 years. Be ok herman gesture has been recognized as a hate symbol alongside the swastika americas onto Defamation League based its decision on the signs adoption by White Supremacists even as extremists continue to use symbols that may be years or decades old they regularly create new symbols memes and slogans to express their hateful sentiments we believe Law Enforcement and the public needs to be fully informed about the meaning of these images which can serve as a 1st warning sign to the presence of haters in the community or school. Ok symbols white power meaning was initially part of an online prank exposed but apparently supremacists liked what they saw and started using it that way in earnest among them the Christ Church terrorist during a Court Appearance the a. D. L. Says cases like that warrant its inclusion on the list of hate symbols i think though that context is always important last year a former white house staffer was accused of making the white power sign but her defenders pointed out shes Mexican American under descendant of Holocaust Survivors our guests debated the issues raised. I think its pretty ridiculous to label a thing like a bull or the ok symbol as a symbol of White Supremacy i feel like races do do certain things but i mean at a certain point they do everything or people do mean races have to eat food they have to drink water they have to breathe air so at what point do we label eating food as racist Drinking Water as received in breathing air is received its just really can of started his particular point sounds a little some of these things that have been in his ear things were a very long time with or a soused hateful subversive groups the problem is that the symbol has become an actual code to say hey we are part of this group you are not and you know the main part of it is like. Well its a far its far right movement supporting you know again far right ideologies that are very well known in this country to be you know florist and but my point is you know is vastly out for instance and it was an indian sacred religious symbol 50500 years b. C. And you know. People in germany took it put it on a red flag and now it was a symbol it was an inverted this mass ago and that became the symbol of nazism and ok but the ok sign is nat day all right ok so you can find it right now on your phone via. Device i phone you can find it ok so right now when you search for the new moji there is the equivalent to ok ok it is being used ok for very loans and it wasnt a couple years ago where it was some kind of troll thing happening on the internet that it became so on those because the Mainstream Media picked it up and i think the whole purpose of the trolling campaign was to trick the Mainstream Media into doing it and of course now we hear what the a. D. L. Is looking for here is not to label every single thing that we do say or or. Or you know we communicate what they are to specifically doing is trying to inform you know people that there are certain symbols that seem innocuous but that are currently being used. As actually insight to violence and crime and you know fundamentalists political ideas that put this democracy in jeopardy but were talking about a symbol that started it as something that was not necessarily what it is today the problem is that somewhere along the line that symbol thats cited as it trolling can ban as a bait became an actual you know sign no with a longing for no it. Its not its really not what somebody told me how do you know hasnt this still is not some kind of hate symbol like i see it the blood game uses day im sure to have been plenty of actual killings they happen every single day and theyve been going on for a very loans ounces and 1970 s. When they came out but for some reason thats not been seen as a symbol you can have it right now in your phone as an emoji for the ok symbol in smartphones and all of it have come around long after the street gangs have originated so ive usually we did think about this thing that exists in a certain context in new form of a symbol in general which is labeled as a symbol but now a lot was saying because the nature of media is going to hold because of the trolling campaign now we want to say is a symbol is ridiculous it is not a symbol it is a n. S. A. Thing if people want to use it for whatever they want to use it for ok but to compare it to nazi flag is absurd ok millions do. You like. Versus the ok so i think i was not a hate symbol until it was. An indian use a day early his whole can ensure that although its not. A controversial canadian psychologist with anti Political Correctness this is in the spotlight again thats all thats going to have a documentary about him were pulled from several cinemas that. But you said your peers in your piece are going to be usually canadian psychology professor is somebody people love or love to hate so youre. Still are you about. I watched the professor as Political Correctness video and i was just so disappointed and. Jordan peterson is a clinical psychologist and a University Professor has risen to fame over recent years via Public Interest and debate over his ideas peterson challenges Political Correctness with anti mainstream views on masculinity and famine is that as well as gender ethnicity and identity politics or peterson has lot of fans and also attracts plenty of criticism earlier this year Cambridge University recalled an invitation that sent him to speak there are concerns his views violated quote inclusive and environment and in new zealand his book was pulled from shelves after a shooting at a mosque in christchurch atis maria for national been speaking to the filmmakers behind this latest documentary movie as far as i understand is about jordan and the journey to where hes now and through his ideas what is about it at the wrong to see it scrapping earlier agreed plans to show it. Well they had agreed to a week long run of the film but there were some staff complaints and that put them in a difficult position so they decided to cancel those plans and of course you know there are some things that people really disagree with in terms of what Jordan Peterson has said so people disagree with the idea of giving him a platform although making a film about him i dont think is the same thing and they were all sorts of reasons we were getting in the instance of the cancellation of the staff complaints as far as we know they hadnt seen the film the people that had agreed to show the film initially they had seen it it really is a shame that that happens our film is and isnt like a complete celebration of everything about jordan i mean there are parts of parts of it that are critical its not a fluff piece and there are the voices of the people that have disagreed with him in public that are in the film so we also hold space for those voices in the film so you have all of the people that are talking about him and its this kind of like a left and right culture war you know you have people on the right that kind of see him as in the side but also see him as kind of like a Political Tool to kind of top of their or their agenda and then you have people on the left like anti for and activists of that nature and they they think hes the devil and they want to bring him down and they want to destroy its reputation what people usually do is that they listen to journalists that theyre used to and those journalists usually only read other journals that think just like them so it is weird little in this specific context is that its a liberal bubble where theyve kept they tell each other the same stories and it gets they gets compounded and compounded when it gets pretty different from reality as far as i understand Jordan Peterson himself was not too much into ferreting to your words very open and he respected the process he you know was never really you know trying to. Interfere with that in your own way what was that story that these journalists that you mentioned kept saying like presenting during peterson as someone dangerous to something well you know their ideas that hes. Leading the all right or you know motivating in cells or that he has really dangerous ideas that hes the custodian of the peach here he is the New York Times article that stated so it closes peoples minds to a nuanced film about him which is what our film is and its a film that as as much as mentioned is for friends but also for people who arent fans is really something in it for everyone to believe paint a complex picture of what weve witnessed throughout these 3 and a half years. Weve approached one of the theaters the coltan cinema and toronto about the decision to cancel the screening of the film we have yet to receive a response. Underestimate home kong is showing no signs of winding down with more violent clashes over the weekend and questions are being raised over the close ties of the quarter is a review west we have that story and plenty more coming up after this very short. What politicians do you shouldnt. Be put themselves on the line. To get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be present. To some want to be rich. But youd like to be closer this is what before 3 of them or cant be good get. Interested in the waters of. This should. Seem wrong why dont we all just dont all. Get to shape out just to become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
