No you are not the are not to the outer banks what im getting from the United States as i said on our china are 2 National Trend the mercs i saw the saturday carol i am and that is not happening underground it is not going to consider us because as i said it on china have been enjoying good relations for how many years but mr ambassador we cannot minimize the horrible relations between the United States and iran its as bad as i think its ever been. How much of this do you think is your fault what could you have done differently with the Trump Administration to makes the situation the relationship more amenable. You know just look at what has been happening the last thursday don and a number of countries that i call the 5 plus one i did on something which is called the donkey or the against if usa and it must sign by he you know ive been in it for longer and other fronts in adelaide are. Further than talking to athens one of the subjects that he pursued. To get kids are was the donkey of the United States that we got in may 2018 so it is not even on who left the negotiating table its funny how people who love to negotiate and payroll and impose sanctions on iran which include you know to tell us who theyre going to the u.

Act like an enormous tragedy who observes its International Obligations and they can join the other members of the agency if you are indeed on t. V. And a normal. Discussion about the Nuclear Issue as the 1st that you need before president trying to sign it we need it if youll let me ask your subject questions about the accusations that have been hurled against your country lets start with the tanker attacks in the persian gulf with which the United States and others including the brits say they have evidence that you have done this what would be your response to that sir. You have not seen any shred of evidence he provided to you don or to anybody else iraqis a chance each have been. You know will be jested by you know on and as i said if they have any and he had a guy who had. The whole International Bank i mean im going to caucus but they try not to watch the information prior to even after the assassination of general salim mahdi the United States says that he personally including your country as well was fomenting terrorism in the region and were in fact responsible for many attacks that had taken place in places like iraq how do you how do you respond to that charge sir is your country indeed fomenting a terrorism in the region. Not all of these are all accusations against the daunting general but its not a number of countries in the region and beyond. In fact beyond these is the main. Shia in the fight against terrorism im honestly money was dead you know in the fight against terrorism and i think the irish and other kind of an organization saw unification going. To dodge and others will follow their mark because they knew ill leave us i think that and. Its part of. The prize 2000 patients saw me how to do the job hes not a geisha the fact.

Kay that solomonic may have been trying to bring about a secret deal a truce if you will with saudi arabia which is no friend at least diplomatically to your country can you confirm or officially deny that what i can tell you in that we have already started with you know she has been our neighbors in fact. Our miners are trying to put it on Foreign Policy and allow you to be ready now United Nations General Assembly president rouhani introduced an idea before the. Body and he initiated this whole. Series and then which includes an architecture for the region and for the regional countries to get together to discuss the fairly sure is of interest including india in the field of economy culture and in many is not an security so in fact the dawn is the is the country who is interested. To read mentions of our neighbors including are you going to. China the United States or does not want to see good relations being established in you know as neighbors i notice you didnt say anything about israel i have to ask you then while were down to 30 seconds do you see any possibility that any time in the future your country will have a friendly relationship or to be able to consider israel an ally. You know we teach im not a statistician of the nation as it is an entity which is that even occupying. An Insurance Agency is.

Im holland cook i invite you to climb with me of the Mainstream Media and from that higher fan to watch to glimpse the big picture question more. Protests and clashes with federal agents continued last night in Portland Oregon but the conversation has shifted toward what the federal governments role should be in this type of situation the questions are numerous should the White House Trump state and local efforts to deal with this issue should they be there uninvited and should they be there in unmarked cars and without any identification on their uniforms explaining who they work for what their jurisdiction its these are the questions that are being asked as the violence 6 continues for more on the very latest here we go to our tease alex behind of it. People power was on display once again begin Portland Oregon. The ongoing rallies like many real the u. S. Have attracted thousands of protesters since the death of george floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police this past me however the demonstrations against Police Brutality and systematic racism in the u. S. Have also seen their share of violence in portland and some say the situation has been exasperated by the arrival of federal agents to try. But ministration dispatched the officers who showed up in unmarked cars dressed in military style gear with forms of identification to b. C. The federal agents have used stun grenades and tear gas against the protesters there are also reports of citizens being taken by the officers without warrant along with demands from the city of portland and the state of oregon for the agents to be removed immediately demonstrators antagonized the federal officers crowding in front of a federal courthouse importance Justice Center late monday night explosions were heard and could be seen rising at the site making the protests look more like a war zone the situation does not seem to be deterring President Trump hes threatening to expand the use of federal agents to other cities while going to do something that i can tell you because were not going to get new york and chicago and philadelphia detroit and baltimore and all of these oh and there is a mess were not going to let this happen or our country all run by liberal democrats the mayor of chicago has responded to the president s address i have great concerns about that particularly given the track record in the city of portland we dont need federal agents without any insignia taking people off. In a holding down i think. Thats now on the streets and in the halls of government the u. S. Appears to be deeply divided and with local and state governments going head to head with the oval office some see a constitutional crisis is on the horizon for news with rick sanchez im alex myla bitch. There is a new wrinkle in the case of the lane maxwell the testimony she gave 4 years ago is suddenly coming back to haunt her this as she fears for her life and says that she is convinced that that stain was murder. For more of us here is our tease job. She said herself during a 2016 deposition healin maxwell said a very small part of her job working for Jeffrey Epstein was quote from time to time to find adult professional massage therapist for jeffery but it went beyond that according to federal prosecutors the 18 page federal indictment against maxwell alleges she recruited victims as young as 14 to give abstaining sexual massages and later to be sexually abused and trafficked by both he and maxwell machel is also charged with perjury counts 5. 00 and 6. 00 of the indictment alleging that maxwell during the deposition knowingly made false material declarations including that she wasnt quote aware that he epstein was having sexual activities with anyone when i was with him other than myself along with maxwell saying she had never given anyone a massage including epstein or any of the victims including those who were minors at the time well the numerous victims who have come forward say shes a liar including Virginia Roberts who frey who filed a defamation lawsuit against maxwell and what she calls good for a liar during that same 2016 deposition 40 pages of which an Appeals Court unsealed last august and speaking of liars the daily mail reports that maxwell paid 25000 bucks to fake news purveyor jacob wall to quote smear epstein victims and to get prosecutor Jeffrey Berman fired in an attempt to stall the sex trafficking investigation against her while in a shady lobbyist colleague jack berman have been accused of hiring paid actors to level disgusting and wild accusations against various politicians including nancy pelosi and Elizabeth Warren wall whose fathers the criminal defense attorney david wall a frequent fox news guest has also been accused of financial frog the daily mail reports that a former model was hired by the 2 men to be used for the smear plot on behalf of match well. R t could not independently verify the daily mails reporting but miami Herald Reporter Julie Kay Brown whose own reporting helped lead to the criminal indictment and arrest of epstein last year tweeted this about the daily mail exclusive if this is true it shows that Hillary Maxwell is using Jeffrey Epsteins playbook to corrupt the u. S. Criminal Justice System almost the same way abstaining did i hope someone is investigating because questions need to be asked. One question being asked could the daily mail story about maxwell be more fake news peddled by jacob all for publicity the sleazy and twisted world of delay maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein taking even more twists and turns for the news with rick sanchez john harvey. Joining us now is live in all of our lionel media boy theres so much to one pack here of the big news item in the last 34 hours has been the fact that she says she thinks shes going to be murdered or fears that shes convinced that epstein himself was murdered a man identifying himself or identifying as her husband has suddenly come out of nowhere a federal judge yesterday was apparently attacked in our home and it turns out that she was the judge that was dealing with the bag that was tied to jeffrey abstain my god model where do you start where do we start with this. Lets talk about the surreal world of this 1st if you would have told me that the federal government actually charged a notorious sex trafficker with perjury on a defamation deposition i would have said no no no no no you dont do that rick if there was if if we went after perjury im sorry to say this lying there would be a 24. 00 sevenths separate court for perjury the idea that shes going to be 35 years tops in this nobody even understands that number 2 this is a woman who yesterday you mentioned the husband to be shes alive shes trying the out of prison out of jail to post bail and shes a lie about whether shes right will tell the jail officials who he is she might be able to use some type of way spousal immunity claim in the later on that the thing that nobody can figure out also is where is she now i dont want to be conspiracy minded god for bad but if you told. Shes nowhere near shes not even in this country i wouldnt be surprised when she is the top leading number one linchpin in something that could bring down not something that is bigger than you are i could even imagine charging you with perjury thats the least of our issues so did none of this case makes any sense at all and dont forget bill barr one time said in an interview oh i think ive seen committed suicide hes the only one so everywhere this case doesnt make any sense so by the way just based on what you just asked i just a quick Google Search this is a well placed sources are saying she was arrested in New Hampshire she was taken into custody in brooklyn at the m. D. C. Metropolitan the metropolitan department of corrections and then she was taken into custody by the few federal bureau of prisons and i guess is somewhere in new york those that that the thats your are. Well it was in brooklyn they said she was in brooklyn but rick where were the story where she said she was in New Hampshire and they came to her her man to 8 oclock so lou she was smart he had tired reading a book she doesnt get to rogers told 4 am ninja call i mean none of this made any sense have you ever heard of the f. B. I. Ever storming a compound a. T. M. And the idea put it this way let me know if youre afraid for your life the last place youre going to be is in the middle of the woods where you could be hit by a drone attack or god knows a lot or you should say are you answered with a big window are you saying that your it sounds like youre skeptical about her arrest and you seem to be implying that shes kind of calling the shots here and not being treated the way others have been treated in the past. Remember in the old days when al capone sometimes would get arrested just to make it look good but with those stories im sayin rick something isnt rotten in denmark you know at least i know hes shame i wouldnt be surprised if this is nothing but im sure rod is a saint to get to the bigger fish all right you know in hialeah they say charade. As well they should. Thank you so much interesting conversation the story that just keeps on giving meanwhile were going to be following several other stories throughout the day to bring the latest theres also a Big Development in the sports world will have it for you as well im a chance to see when its time for like. Syria has been engulfed in civil 10 years its cost hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions more no 1. 00 foresaw the peaceful protests of 20 is collating into a complex conflict between various amis geopolitical interests rebel groups and just. How they are needed in the book on this. But if you tell us if you say you hate because of. The cool. Idea of going to lick. The bottom of. An ordinary has sat down i. Never statham as the mother i am then ashamed what i did i miss the hate.
