Hashtag need to movement meanwhile ladies and gentlemen across the atlantic pond the extradition hearings began for wakey leaks founder and publisher julian a son of a son just facing 18 charges here in the United States of america violating the espionage act and hacking if convicted the sons could face up to 175 years in prison but 1st the british courts will have to extradite him to the United States and this is worse than just lawyers are trying to draw the proverbial line in the sand assads attorney edwardss jerald argued that essentially the u. S. Is persecuting julian a songe not prosecuting him telling the packed courtroom today that julian a son just being made an example of President Trump and his administration decided to make an example of julian a son. So with Harvey Weinstein now legally a rapist yes it was indeed rape no matter how much you claimed it was not and now the legal future of the freedom of the press hanging in the balance i think its time to do a little watching the harks. On a cd you st. Peter so lets see this is joyce state. Grace suggests least systemic deception is a late show which. Brings us. To watching the hawks. And im a. Boy what a day for courtroom battles to show not only really in the wind stream in the beginning of the extradition hearing absolutely and i dont think that theres anybody fat about peppina wife thing today if anything there was an expectation that he might have actually been convicted on some of the stronger charges but i think that this spells a victory for the need to move and its both a victory for all of the women who have been abused by weinstein but also it adds an amplifies the voices of those who might be afraid to actually come out and you know talk against their accusers and i think that for somebody who is rich and powerful who may have thought that he was going to be able to get off someone who didnt really show any remorse throughout this entire process im very thankful to. Finally get his day in court and to see some bit of some bit of victories for the victims i couldnt agree more im a District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr actually told the press outside the courthouse that this is the new landscape for survivors of Sexual Assault in america and this is a new day its a new day because Harvey Weinstein has finally been held accountable for their crimes committed and i hope this is my dream its good when we see people like weinstein you know get good guilty verdicts and things like that my hope is that it doesnt its not that you get Harvey Weinstein and suddenly. To me to move it all its over everythings better absolutely i think thats a good point to note because there are thousands of Harvey Weinsteins out there there arent just in hollywood they exist in nonprofits they exist in private sector organizations they exist in corporations they exist in the political realm and i think that once you see Something Like this there also has to be that that fear plays in the men who actually are the ones who are doing this to women to showcase that just because youre powerful just because people want to have a certain job or reach a certain level of esteem within their careers that doesnt mean that you take it upon yourself to abuse women and i think that it also places abuse in a different context because one of the bigger things about this case was that a lot of people were going back and forth as to the litany of these womens stories just because many of them had seen him and started relationships with him later on or they continued sexual relationship with him so i think that there was a little bit of theres a little bit of pushback initially and it was bothersome because in the majority of cases where there is Sexual Violence or sexual manipulation of any kind it is from somebody that you know we think that we have to peel back the onion to a certain extent is showcase just just how bothersome this can actually be because these arent your stranger danger people these are the conditions of power the people that you work with there are people who youve engaged with and i think that its important for the general public to understand that these weinstein type character is maybe they dont have all the money that he does but power comes in different and different avenues and im thankful that i think that a case like this is really going to push women 1st and foremost to stand up and say this happened to me which helps other women going through the struggle right now but also it gives women a charge to say that there can be a difference made most definitely does i want to also talk about the strong sharing. Interesting george. Former British Parliament George Galloway weighed in on the question of whether political motivations matter in the United Kingdom when it comes to the u. S. Extradition process and the deal he told our own military on him. Question earlier this year to take a listen i was a member of parliament about the time the extradition treaty was reached with the United States political cases are explicitly excluded from extradition treaty between the u. S. Thats really interesting what hes saying is that if the defense can try truly prove this is a political persecution which i believe it is. Potentially britain this judge could say you know what were not going to extradite him because this isnt about getting him with a crime this is about going after him personally by the u. S. Government so i think that despite who was in office i know that you know toms here right now making these decisions but despite who was in office i dont think that the the prediction for how this would end for assad would be very different than hes contradictorily here 1st some people view him as one of the highest the patriot shedding light on on some of the war crimes and abuse that the American Public want to know but there is by and large this other side that says there is government oversight there and these are protectionism that need to be there specifically for redacted information for the safety of those who may have been involved that he has now released to the public and thats a scary place to be so we think that for somebody like Julian Assange he can its heaters in those 2 worlds one in which that actually threatens our safety the other one that you know with the public right to know and we also have to remember the journalist on it is not a journalist so a lot of the arguments that some of his defenders are making are very interesting because it was not this he doesnt operate under the same journey but he does hes a publisher hes probably showing information and heres the catch is that what i understand your argument and i agree there should be certain reactions to keep people safe to keep you know things about nature safe keep undercover Troop Movement theres theres definitely things that need to happen there but remember thats not what the u. S. Government charging him with theyre charging him with the under the espionage act theyre trying to say that what he did on equivocally helped our enemies i say it isnt. See what i say what he did allow the American People to see what was being done in our name with our tax dollars you know we saw you know bombing those journalists in iraq was one of the biggest things that came out of Chelsea Manning weeks hes at the end of the day hes not he is a journalist i believe hes a publisher hes publishing newsworthy information but then was being assured by the New York Times always run a very global a lot of other people saw it we cant so there is an argument to be said about it going beyond just the americans i think that theres something in it for americans to be able to peel back the onion and see what they need to see here in terms of what our government is doing but we also have to recognize that the way that he released that the world solved it. And that world actually put us into that and. Will agree to disagree right now. Student loan debt reaching an all time high of 1. 4 trillion dollars children in cages Housing Affordability a thing of the past having to decide between life saving drugs like insulin or paying your car note and our world literally being on fire is enough to drive anyone mad or just enough to drive folks to the polls thats exactly what Bernie Sanders and his campaign have been doing handedly taking home a victory in the nevada caucus on saturday the 1st diverse caucus of the early primary states the little 5 Sanders Place as a top contender for the democratic nomination but that win was hardly surprising 4 weeks sanders was projected to do well in the bottom but none of this stop the Mainstream Media onslaught and freak out mode we heard a russian conspiracy theories strange echoes of naziism attacks on his supporters labeling them as misfits and fear mongering that standards would take the country in the wrong direction one much akin to the failed socialist policies that crippled south america but pundits had to eat less than 24 hours later after votes were analyzed because much like what trump did in 2016 sanders listen to a growing desire to shake up the status quo and the results are undeniable same. Made direct appeal for the youth vote one often taken for granted and he designed a strategy to reach latino specifically showcasing that the fight for americas heart also runs through the Brown Community people like Chris Matthews who completely lost it on live t. V. While vividly painting a picture of nazi germany and oddly comparing sanders rise to it might be speaking to a workable past even veteran democratic strategist James Carville got in on the action calling status plans communism one things for sure if banner victory in the bottle is mirrored elsewhere he can bring out this newly formed coalition and super tuesday the Democratic Party may be in for a reboot and naysayers will be forced to fall in line or go after you you followed like your. Deep with the Democratic Party in the obama administration. Is it time for the reboot is that what were seeing just what you said. The elites theyre just not grasping the fact that maybe the countrys gone a different direction from what they originally thought i think that what bernie have done is tap into a populist populism other side in the same way that trump did in 2016 there is a rising and upset mode of thought when it comes to income inequality there are people who are my generation millennial who cant afford you know cant afford the cost of housing or looking at Student Loan Debt astronomically increased arent seeing rises in their paychecks many of which are still having a hard time finding full time job to provide health care are also delaying starting their families because the cost of child care is astronomical when you add all those things together and theyre playing on each other at the exact same time if you please rise for some type of earth shattering i think wake in the system and bernie things to be speaking to all of those things at the same time and he is directing his plan specifically to this group and its crazy because when you see the medias reaction to this especially the cable news media theyre not reacting like journalists or theyre not reacting like people reporting on whats going on theyre reacting like theyre truly afraid of this strange i mean you see karl on there saying like oh putin must. Watching me right now talking about Bernie Sanders and smiling i doubt lattimer was doing that you know it blows my mind you know Chris Matthews talking about how the. Bernie sanders win is equivalent to the nazis invading friends yeah they kind of jumped off the deep in really quickly and they didnt like they had to in some ways tone it down because when we pill back everything and we saw what those votes looked like more young people came out in the bottom than we saw in any of the earlier caucus that in addition to that more people of color came out so the latino vote count for nevada was a lot larger this saturday than it was in the previous 2 elections so what were seeing are people who are 1st time voters coming out were seeing people who are Younger Voters come out and i think that that has the opportunity to actually change the trajectory of what this entire caucus stream and what the super tuesday states look like if this can be kept up and whats true is that then you have you know you have these pundits on t. V. Or the party bosses and things of that nature then saying well these people are wrong and how dare they and why are they voting this way russia is manipulating them Bernie Sanders is lying to them and whats sad about that is just what you said these are 1st time voters these are young voters these are people of color these are people who have been systematically put down by this country over the years who are now finally saying you know what i want to take a chance i dont feel like i can change anything but maybe now i can maybe theres somebody out there that i can and theyre voting we should be applauding them rather we like the kind of that are not i personally i dont i like Bernie Sanders i havent i dont i havent endorsed any candidates but i think hes got some good ideas i think it starts in the right place we should be applauding these people for getting taking part in the system rather than like rejecting them and saying how dare they voted for this guy and then the other part is the party. Has an issue with isolating voters then youre out there calling people who follow Bernie Sanders are buying into that message missed youre going to have a problem you can have the same problem Hillary Clinton did when she called republicans a basket of deploying on top of that siphoning a candidate off and made. Him sound like he is the anti everything democrat is problematic especially when its somebody who was running for the top spot in your party who if he gets the nomination would be effectively leading your party but bernie has actually brought some of that on himself he has gone out and basically made a lot of claims against establishment one of which i would argue that hes also part of bernie has been bernie has been a part of this of this thing we call the American Government Institution Look im not going to settle on top of that we also have to look at the fact that bernie is seeing i think something happening with young people and he is taking that and he is speaking directly to them and for a party that is supposed to be the one whos the most diverse the one thats the most inclusive the one this Umbrella Organization to push him out or to you know make these outward appeals to the contrary of his his belief system i think it hurts them in the worst thing that you could do to a candidate was running on an antiestablishment platform whether he kind of admits to it or not but you know he is the worst thing you can possibly do is call him antiestablishment. Dont vote for him hes not like us thats the worst thing you can do because thats only going to boldness voters and push them further and i think i really even with all the bloomberg money i dont see them being able to put this thing back i do actually im up pretty nicely sanders being able to get the nomination and challenging dropping the ball this fight baiters comments on being you know favorable of what we saw in cuba being favorable of castro being favorable of a lot of the a lot of the nicaraguan government as well it still doesnt seem to be shaking people we live in a different time and i think people are looking back and saying you know what i dont care what he thinks about for the castro actually you know maybe theres people that say you know what i support yeah some bad hes not a great he was not a great leader but at the same time he represents a certain freethinking you know i like the idea of revolution i think thats what people are seeing that theyre not falling into those old traps that like the boomers lived through the cold war and things like wow we could go on and on thats a good conversation but as we go to break our grudges dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics to cover of our souls.

To india this week with the purpose of the trip wasnt all and im sure at some photo ops with indias Prime Minister modi no trump also brought with them a 3000000000. 00 new defense deal with india in miami art to america john how do you story. President trump in his speech today in india said the u. S.

Helicopters missile air Defense Systems and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles also known as drones President Trump lot of india in his speech and his quote great friend indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi the event was named the must a trump a take on the rally in Houston Texas last year for indias Prime Minister which was called how the modi will todays day long affair in india featured a lot of pageantry singing dancing basically a huge celebration for President Trump who was joined by 1st lady maloney and then his daughter ivanka and son in law journal among others the president took a little ribbing for is not exactly accurate pronunciation sound shall we say a famous indian cricket player but the president did get big applause from the crowd for his shout outs to bollywood and some famous bollywood films basically personalizing the speech to any. In crowd and playing to the crowd that said the president and in the end Prime Minister modi did speak about us india ties the relationship as economic and political allies and the threat of global terrorism trump made mention of that threat in his speech adding that his administration is working with pakistan to crack down on he says terrorist groups along pakistans border with india our relationship with pakistan is a very good one thanks to these efforts we are beginning to see signs of big progress with pakistan and we are hopeful for reduce tensions greater stability of the future of harmony for all of the nations of south asia India Pakistan nearly came to war last year after india bombed what it said was a terrorist Training Facility in the mountains of pakistan along the Indian Border resulting in an escalation in fighting between both countries that came dangerously close to all out war both sides however relented and war was avoided but still it showed the danger of tensions and the risk of an escalation in violence between both Nuclear Powers president from touring a speech today touted the 3000000000. 00 arms deal with india saying he believes the United States should be indias premier defense partner or President Trump on the 1st lady also visited the osh room were gandhi lived and of course the famous taj mahal inaugural and despite his comments about working with pakistan which didnt garner a whole lot of support in india trump is still very well liked in the country where recent Pew Research Poll found that he has 5056 percent Approval Rating the u. S. And india did not reach a trade agreement before the president s visit and that will be among the topics of discussion while the president is in the country for his 36 hour visit saying hes quite optimistic that both he and Prime Minister modi can reach a trade deal and by the way trump who once own of course the Taj Mahal Hotel and casino in Atlantic City new jersey had never actually visited. The indian side until today well the president is in new delhi now where he will attend various events on tuesday for watching the hawks john heidi. Joining us now to discuss this 3000000000. 00 defense deal between india and the u. S. And its implications former marine and senior fellow at the center for International Policy Matthew Matthew thank you so much for coming on i want to start what is this move 3000000000 dollar deal between the u. S. And india mean you know for the region is going to be very interesting especially with all the talk about trying to members of power stutters and. Yet it doesnt 1st thanks for having me on it also involves china and russia as well we want to back up a bit throughout the cold war the United States was aligned with pakistan there is actually something called the middle east Treaty Organization that involved iran iraq turkey pakistan the United States that lasted up until the like late 1970 s. And the United States back pocket ston in the wars have with india during that time but then when the cold war ended. And the soviet union went away and this does bipolar world kind of vanished. India was now in a different place and it became open for grabs for u. S. Military planners as well as for defense corporations and in the last 20 years you seen a real change in the relationship between india and the United States during george bushs time several defense agreements were signed as well as george bush took india off the same list because of indias development of a Nuclear Weapon during the 1990 s. George w. Bush took them off of that saying sions list and then when president obama came into office the United States relationship with india really changed for 2 reasons obama was a very big and a very good weapon salesman trump is better but obama was quite good and. So when obama comes into office there are no weapons sales or not many weapons sales from the United States to india by a time he leaves theres over 15000000000. 00 in sales along with a whole d more kind of like planned out as well as this deal to build 6 Nuclear Power plants in india for a cost of 10000000000. 00 so when trump comes in the United States relationship with india has changed and this has come about because the United States relation with pakistan has fallen apart particularly in the years since 911 and of course if you all remember underneath president obama we have the pivot to asia really United States military where china was now and so china and india have a very contentious relationship india and i mean china and pakistan all are allies in many ways so the United States looks to india to Counter China and at this point india is the 2nd largest importer of weapons in the world after saudi arabia and right now there are biggest supplier of weapons are the russians and so the United States would love to you know divorce india from its relationship with russia get more of that weapons market and then use india kind a as a wedge against both pakistan and china so that a lot here with this 3000000000. 00 sale besides the fact that this is what travers and President Trump likes to do he likes to make deals for the defense industry. Pretty incredible man when you break it all. You did a heck of a good job just kind of Southern Europe the entire back story behind this or was there a lot of that was quite incredible sir very good.
