B. I. Is working with dio dea theyre working with the o. E. Theyre working with the skin to be a county sheriffs to answer those questions and one of the things that i talked to the president about is given that this was a Foreign National in the employ of a Foreign Service is you know be time to do this but obviously the government of saudi arabia needs to to make make things better for these victims now the military base in pensacola where soldiers and military personnel from around the world receive training these 16000 military personnel on that base remain under lockdown this is actually the 2nd incident that took place on a u. S. Military base this week earlier on wednesday there was a u. S. Sailor who shot 2 of his coworkers at the u. S. Base in hawaii at pearl harbor. A member of the anti mass migration alternative for Germany Party has said extremists have threatened to assassinate her because of her political beliefs kristina the media and other Political Parties to stop in her words their hate campaign against her Party Reporting next from berlin hears of angelo services. The if the politician christina has posted a picture on social media of a cross with number of insults written on it but also a very serious threat towards her the cross was discovered by the if there politician near her office where she works as a dentist on wednesday evening the police do not know who the perpetrators are but since this is a threat towards a local politician they have passed on the investigation to the Domestic Intelligence Services Office the alternative for Germany Party has quick to condemn the attack and urged the media and Political Parties to stop spreading their hatred against the ai if the. Threat to christina was just the tip of the iceberg attacks on i have to officials are becoming more and more common that 1st officers and events of the were attacked and now its apparently against the law the health of our politicians while many politicians have come out to condemn this threat towards christine about the greens who have seen a fair share of threats towards in the past say that these types of incidents should not be tolerated but a social democrat politician has called out kristina as being a liar and all this comes as pressure has been a mounted on a if the politicians by the c. D. U. N c s hugh calling to boycott them and impose a blanket ban of anybody cooperated with them they even went as far as saying that even having a cup of tea or coffee with them should be prohibited we have made it clear again that we reject any form of corporation with the aid of tea even if it is just a coffee but if we go back a little bit from the beginning of this year theres been a number of threats and attacks towards politicians from many sides of the political spectrum. I. I. I. I. I. I. Well it seems that the Political Landscape in germany has been changing with a decrease of popularity form the c. D. U. And the speed to the increase of popularity for the specially in the Eastern States of this country while these attacks are becoming more dominant in politics in germany critics are hoping that this will not turn into a disturbing trend. I dont reaction earlier from alternative for germany your m. P. Going to bag he blames the coverage given to the f. T. For making it an easy target. Theres little doubt that my party is the principal victim of this Political Violence whats triggered it well its a combination of Relentless Media portrayal of our party. As a little edged rightwing or perhaps even freshest organization in fact none of our policies would have shocked c. D. U. Voters about 50 years ago its important to bear in mind that germany in many respects is not the society that it is betrayed as many people are dissatisfied with the extreme consensus politics people are now beginning to realize that despite the fact that mrs merkel is telling them that theyve never had it so good Living Standards for well over 2 thirds of the population have not risen in the last 25 years. Been a rocky start for some u. S. President ial election campaigns with several runners already stumbling of the 1st hurdle and dropping out but it seems the baby yoda character from a star wars spin off could be quite a successful candidate if it threw it name into the 2020 president ial race according to a recent poll baby yoda is out trending all democratic hopefuls on social media including front runners joe biden and Bernie Sanders but thats not going to stop those 2 and the many others still up for consideration striving to be called the perfect candidate more on that now from oregon. In this imperfect world of ours the hooli grail is finding something perfect it is of course impossible but goodness do they really try every 4 years in America Elections the eternal search for the perfect candidate a smallish chink in there who we are than that our armor is enough to sink him or her and i really mean the smallest chink for example pete booted judge currently ranked 4th in the democrat candidate polls hes a darling a mayor a family guy openly gay and he even has a disabled dog i mean what an angel but then i see he went too far he helped the homeless participated in Salvation Army Charity Events and thats a Christian Organization which is sometimes accused of homophobia you know hard core christians and all apparently race issues arent the only thing. Is slow to grasp what is his excuse for not realizing the Salvation Army is homophobic hard to imagine a more succinct visual metaphor for i will gleefully work for the act of destruction of my people if it makes me seem in a yacht or more electable than brits adige shorter with a notoriously anti queer Salvation Army these activists are literally accusing an openly gay man of supporting homophobia just just let it sink in you havent dropped out of the race yet unlike camelot harris and one of her crimes as a half black half tamil indian woman was that she just wasnt black enough skin pigmentation seems to really really matter for a president ial candidate then you. Have Bernie Sanders spent his life trying to power the poor and for his troubles had the d. N. C. Election rigged it against him last time around but bernie just doesnt get it america doesnt want someone who cares so much for the poor sanders just does not understand that a 15. 00 minimum wage will hurt the job market and theres no way we can afford to make education free for everyone and on top of bernies you know principles and decency hes just ancient. Much like former Vice President and control the sea magnate joe biden es neck deep in just the weirdest stuff even getting really close and taking the night sniff of peoples hair now embroiled in ukraine gate he got his little boy a nice cushy job that pays a standing amounts in ukraine the poorest nation in europe and modern civil war to boot im sure he can remember all that stuff them ages getting the better of him to his memory isnt what it was then we have Elizabeth Warren who hasnt quite yet figured out who she is in case you missed it she tried to pass a self off as part native american which was an exaggeration by which i mean it was entirely made up bashing. No one it seems is good enough homosexual homophobe a black woman who isnt black enough an old man thats obsessed with helping the people that need help biden and his has to fit and seriously what the hell then again perhaps people wouldnt need pics so much if you know they had something outs to talk about. If these people had a plan beyond beating trump a clear plan for america and americans but hey maybe not i mean seriously. Living stuff. Well as the u. S. President ial hopefuls look to divide and conquer the polls ahead of the 2020 alexion of Public Policy surveys revealed insight into how americans View Division in society more than 90 percent of people who responded to the poll said the division should be a key policy issue for the president ial candidates on the campaign trail describing it as a huge problem staggeringly nearly one in 5 americans feel that the issue wasnt a big problem going into the vote in 2020. Rivera from the reactionary times believe that the democrats exacerbating tensions in us society lets get some more on that now is the vice chair of the Libertarian National committee is also running for president himself mr for a welcome to see. What do you think the president ial candidates to i guess could do about addressing the feeling of division bearing in mind the campaign trail in its d. N. A. Is about pointing out division and differences sometimes viciously. Politics is about divisiveness to a point politics is about different ideas competing ideas heres where i draw the line if you start using non political means to achieve a political goal youve crossed the line so if youre socially ostracizing people trying to economically hurt people for to having different political views then youve crossed the line disagreeing even both disagreeing thats just part of democracy but it has definitely gone too far in American Culture not american politics were supposed to be but in the rest of American Culture where its really gotten out of hand why do you think the impeachment soap opera fits into all this that i suppose one division is going to be those who are lapping up every little detail and others who are just rolling their eyes at it the 2020 Campaign Kicks into high gear do you expect that to wrap up so you know go on and on and on. I imagine its going to drag on quite a bit and heres what happened especially on the left right now of the d. N. C. Has pushed the idea that your. Little views are now part of your fundamental identity strategically it makes sense for them to do that because most people are liberal when theyre young if you can get people locked themselves into that identity bills hopefully say that way when they get older but the problem with that is now instead of seeing the other side of someone that that you disagree with were seeing more and more polarized nation where the opposing political side is seen as an absolute evil and that to me is the big problem is that this is a question of good and evil its a question of different political views that we can probably find some agreement on. Some of the Democratic Candidates have spoken about uniting america arresting stan that does sound like a bit of a big ask doesnt it do you do you think thats achievable. When i hear that from professional politicians to me thats code word for if you disagree with me you dont speak uniting america which means accepting different ideas being open to different views not trying to shriek the opposite side into silence by using social pressure or just a volume thats not the same so what were seeing over here is somebody who say they are people who are saying that they want less divisiveness but a lot of tides especially professional politics thats just code for if you dont agree with me dont be one of the democrats but the judges said that. Anyone who supports donald trump is setting up blind eye to racism do you think that alienating trump voters is a particularly good tactic didnt really work in 26 the. I know its a terrible tactic as a short term tactic to try to win the primary to show that youre the most anti trump its going to if they continue with that is going to backfire in the general election because the moderates the centrists the libertarians dont really want to have dont dont arent going to be drawn to that and i think thats going to be one of the one of the things that will happen in 2020 is exactly what happened in 2016 which is record numbers for 3rd parties as more and more americans get sick of the 2 Party Duopoly whats going to be difficult for those has in this though because when you have a figure like donald trump at the top a headline grabbing president s for good job bad reasons depending on your perspective he fires up his support is he infuriates the other is as we get into this mudslinging campaign and aiming at donald trump is perhaps an easy target its not going to turn off voters. I think when your entire policy is based on. Opposing somebody else. After a very short period of time you start to look like you dont have any ideas of your own you have no vision of your own except for that that guys bad and if you dont have a vision of your own if you dont have a true vision for what you want to merica to look like. For example one of my visions i want to end the welfare state and the income tax thats very different from what im seeing from a democratic competitors whose entire vision seems to be stop trump you need to actually have policy that makes that fires you up the fires your base up something that you yourself believe in and just believing that your opponent is vetted doesnt cut it. Can i just ask you before you go that just quickly even on the campaign trail what are the voters saying can actually tell whos saying what we dont have a policy or can they just point out who hates it when the political playground. Right now and nobody can really seem to tell what the policy differences are between the Democratic Candidates because theyre so fixated on either playing personality politics you know talking about bidens bizarre behaviors or by just talking about antitrust politics so all the democratic primary voters seem to know for sure is that the candidates all hate trump its not surprising democrats oppose republicans for as long as republicans oppose democrats the lack of any real meaningful vision from any of the candidates is really hurting the Democratic Party and just paving the way both for gains from 3rd parties and for gains from trump. In washington d. C. Of involved a president ial hopeful vice chair of the Libertarian National committee appreciate your time thank you. For. The authorities in hong kong have given the go ahead to what could be the 1st major rally in the chinese territory since its prodemocracy camp school the landslide victory in last months local Elections Police have one however that they wont tolerate any violence from demonstrate his saying that they will into the if necessary and an illustration of the dangers that offices of faced in recent months the citys bomb disposal squad released this video on friday.

Talk a little sports will not use the push on the issues you ship might expose me emotions actually dont see the pollution and then theres nothing. I. Am left. To let. I. Constitutional scholars weigh in on impeachment and they impacted the proceedings one way or another were talking to the actual words on this edition of politic. Politicking on larry king on wednesday the House Judiciary Committee heard from 4 constitutional experts about whether or not President Trump committed impeachable offenses did their testimony change the game by any measure lets talk about that with the Political Panel alex vogel he previously served as chief counsel to Senate Majority leader bill frist and former general counsel for the National Republican Senatorial Committee hes in washington and in Mountain View california zach friend he worked for barack obama and john kerrys president ial campaigns as a spokesman and strategist alex vogel on the testimony that anything impress you more than that well i think this was really the pregame if you will to set up the more politically explosive and interesting ones that i think they felt the need that they had to do this one to try and lay some of the procedural groundwork for the process the piece that i found interesting was Jonathan Turley is. Not withstanding that he was technically the republican witness today i dont think a lot of people consider professor turley a fire breathing conservative i certainly didnt when he was a professor of my law school a long time ago but i think what was interesting was it did show that there is not unanimity in the academic Legal Community whether you agree with him or not on this specific issue he is certainly. Voice on the constitution i think Everything Else frankly was fairly predictable but i do think that that at least provided some differentiated framework for the process i dont think it changed any minds either those the most important ones those sitting on the day us today or frankly those watching the hearings. Zach johnson julie republicans alone which we wouldnt. Show many times so you cant judge a prison with struction until the corps weighed in on the subpoena disputes you agree with that. And i dont i do actually respect and agree a lot with what alex said though and ill say that i think that if this information had been presented say 20 or 30 years ago and larry youve covered a lot of president s a lot of presidencies i think there would be actually unanimity both on the diocese and within the American Public that what happened was in peach a bowl but things have changed and sort of this sense of what a fact is and this ability to obfuscate this ability to have ecosystems within the media sphere of really changed a lot of that and so i dont actually believe that the country would be divided
