B. C. News has defended its decision not to broadcast the story stating it didnt meet editorial standards at the time well and. Agreed explaining her comments were made in a private moment of frustration earlier my colleague spoke with the founder of project very thomas and journalist james okeefe. Well i think its a huge concern in that the statement that you just read there was seemingly written by corporate lawyers for a. B. C. It directly contradicts what amy robock says on the set and this leaked hot mike tape i think comes across quite well and if i were her id be upset at these executives for squashing the story as well but the tape is if you watch the full 3 minute tape youll see that she is shes very upset that these interviews with the accusers were not aired she says shes 100 percent confident that epstein was was killed and this is a pretty prominent american a. B. C. News journalist making these statements and i have to wonder why did they not air these stories why why were they why was the sheld i think that a lot of these people are can are not trusting the media anymore in this country because the media does not cover the news i mean this is a big story this is a a huge story and you can see that the anger you can see how frustrated amy robock when you listen when you watch this tape it directly contradicts what a. B. C. News is saying publicly now about not having enough corroboration there theyre fine airing the allegations against maybe Brett Kavanaugh for or trump or anybody else but when it comes to bill clinton and some of these folks d that are mentioned by amy in this hot mike tape they say they just didnt have enough corroboration im not sure how a. B. C. News defines a corroboration when it comes to credible witnesses talking about Sexual Assault. A u. S. Military convoy has come under fire from Turkish Backed fighters near the town of tell to tell tom or excuse me in northeastern Syria PentagonOfficials Say their patrol was not hit and that no american soldiers were harmed but have given no further details of the attack comes as u. S. Troops resume positions in areas of the region they had withdrawn from last month and President Trumps command ahead of a turkish offensive it is the 2nd time that militants fighting for the Syrian National army have targeted American Forces in recent weeks washingtons envoy to syria also claims the s. N. A. Which has its roots in the Free Syrian Army committed war crimes during on crowes operation against Kurdish Forces in northern syria. Turkish supported. Opposition Opposition Forces who were under general turkish command in at least one instance did carry out a walk crime and we have reached out to turkey to demand an explanation turkey has promised to investigate the claims against its syrian allies it is worth noting that some of the groups under the umbrella a force now accused of war crimes were previously supported and armed by washington parties came up in comments. The Free Syrian ArmyAmerican Media and politicians told of glorious Freedom Fighters picking up a gun for democracy and human rights and the usa wasnt afraid to show its support the United States has been one of the biggest supporters whether its politically whether its financially in a range of manners of the moderate opposition including the freestream our syrian army the administration is staking its efforts in syria on the Free Syrian Army aid and assistance that were going to give to the Free Syrian Army is used to advance the cause against guys will watch the transformation of the Free Syrian Army as well early on have they gotten more quickly better or is it just me well guess what forces fighting under the f s as latest incarnation are now attacking the United States as part of the de confliction Exchange Information has been received from the u. S. Side to that on 3rd november a convoy of american servicemen was fired upon from the territory controlled by the pro turkish Syrian National army so how did this happen it was a group go from being worthy of u. S. Support weapons and training to being terrorists to attack america as well lets review the process of the f s as evolution as the syrian conflict escalated they were presented as a soft force to counter the quote brutal regime of Bashar Al Assad western journalist even visited them they are former syrian soldiers they say they refused orders to fire on their own countrymen a few months alongside to take up arms against the assad regime there are pretty gnarly bunch for a soft force but who pays attention to these details western media fell in love with them and their commander solemn interest even got a surprise visit from john mccain the u. S. Senator slipped across syrias borders so he could meet with Americas Dream Team fighting against the Syrian Government and sense then solemn even appeared on major to. The networks in the United States i spoke with general salim idriss just moments ago hes head of the Free Syrian Army i spoke earlier today to rebel leader general salim he connected with us via skype from inside syria egypt spoke to state Department CorrespondentMargaret Brennan in turkey in 2014 the pentagon splurged 500000000. 00 on Syrian Opposition groups to the now infamous train and equip program the goal was pretty glorious 5000 soldiers a year for the following 3 years however at the end of the day the mathematical calculations ended up with a pretty big margin of error its a small number. The ones that are in the fight. Is is were talking 445 the overall goal is to make sure that we have enough mass to be able to get work done on the ground a lot of the weapons and money spent and it up in the hands of terrorist groups like i still or the al nasra front fine use of u. S. Taxpayers money and sense than the u. S. Trained fighting force seems to have almost disappeared but now theyre back weve got the Syrian National army this is a totally new organization with dozens of different factions 80000. 00 total fighters approximately and guess who the minister of defense is well you guessed it its major solemn interests but hes got a completely new script now he is no longer a big fan of the stars and stripes as the syrian conflict twists and turns you have to ask yourself who is the United States going to end up supporting next and how long until they turn against the United States again this incident at the very least. Destabilizing the presence of american speed and also the support for these groups like the socalled Syrian National army which consists of people who quite aggressive jihad to use and so its been once convenience and now its become inconvenient. For the truth how did this who have seen us the americans who abandoned the kurds who they disliked but of course the control but they didnt really think about who their friends were who they were hoping who they were funding. Newly revised testimony u. S. Ambassador to the e. U. Gordon someone says he told the Ukrainian Government that there would be a quid pro quo on the issue of military aid being held up by the white house something he previously denied knowledge of also i now do recall a conversation on september 1st 29 seen in warsaw with you mr your mac this brief polish side conversation followed a larger meeting involving Vice President pants and president lensky in which president selenski had raised the issue of suspension of u. S. Aid to ukraine directly with Vice President pence after that large meeting i now recall speaking individually with mr your mac said that resumption of u. S. Aid would likely not occur until ukraine provided the public anticorruption statement that we have been discussing for many weeks where this comes as u. S. House democrats continue an impeachment investigation into u. S. President donald trump they allege he tried to force ukrainian president vladimir selenski to start a corruption investigation against a brick Small Holdings where hunter biden the son of former Vice President joe biden was a board member it is claimed that trump withheld hundreds of millions in military aid to ukraine in an effort to pressure kiev to launch such a probe. For more on this we can cross live it is former cia officer ray mcgovern ray thanks for being with us here on r. T. International. So how significant is this admission by ambassador saw and it is a significant change in fact many say its a complete reversal does this create more problems for the white house. Well not really simon is just aware that theyre probably his messages have been compromised or that hes been monitored hes just trying to correct the record its a big mistake this is all a political game here in washington to big mistake for the democrats to circumscribe their their inquiry their pietschmann a story as to the ukraine problem what effect does that have well. Joe biden is out of the running as far as im concerned theres so much dirt on joe biden i just wonder what more dirt President Trump was trying to dig out so as these things become revealed its going to be also revealed that the people talking to the democrats here newness i mean not new news but the fellow whos running the thing is that the intelligence committee. That those people d have been in touch with these other people like the whistleblower socalled and they in turn that in working for the deep state brennan and others and so you know the things going to fall apart what they should pursue and i feel very strongly about this because they have 9 range rover is the trooper leaves the parish records today formally 1st real legal step well what does that mean for the world truth has little children dying in the quarter an hour south defies the constitution right and left so why did they pick out this quid pro quo because this the only good comes out of that is that most americans learn a latin quid pro quo. So now sandland himself and he said in earlier testimony that trump insisted that he wanted nothing from ukraine in fact we keep hearing that no quid pro quo no quid pro quo you bring up the phrase there. Why then would someone tell kiev otherwise if i mean is he going against the president is i mean is this like whats the real deal whats really happening here well i think what has to prove a the atmosphere here is the fact that everything is monitored surveillance is blanket deep so heres silent thinking will that n. S. A. Certainly has the conversation with that reveal i was lying or that is that in the room. Member the floor and n. S. A. Has everything now whats the point here the point here is that an essay also has the complete text of the telephone conversation between sharon and salutes so it shouldnt read theres any ambiguity here where theres any dispute about what was cut outs look the whole transcript got asked and is saved for the transcript well if im sure theres a quid pro quo it may have been not outspoken but you know this happens all the time i know defender of truth i think hes the worst president weve ever had but for this kind of dealey to go on is not unusual they should be shrill right quick but not on these flimsy charges of quid pro quo and briefly the White House Press secretary has reacted saying that the transcript of President Trumps call with his ukrainian counterpart still makes clear there wasnt no quid pro quo offered weve kind of weve talked about the quid pro quo idea if not this what should he be impeached for. Well i think the paris accord leading to paris accord is that is the most damaging thing that any president the United States can do to the whole world and then talk about his is thumbing his nose so to speak at the constitution and building a wall without the Appropriations Committee ruling on it as the constitution requires. Letting the children be separated from their parents on the southern border and some of them dying living in terrible conditions you know how many things you need to impeach a president why dont they pursue these things so whats going to happen is this is going to come around to bite them because if the deeper they get into ukraine the deeper joe biden and his son are in deep shit as my south korean friends say and the whole things going to fall apart when the democrats pursue this line as very narrow circumscribed line and and neglect the real the real impeachable offenses is the president have not only that but its looks like if the senate does not convict him trump will be able to accuse the democrats with some reason doing this pitch battle against him forever for another year all right former a former cia officer ray mcgovern always interesting to hear a thought thanks for being with us here on our to international most welcome john. Or you are watching right International Well be back with more news after a short break stay with us. The world is driven by shaped by. The day or thinks. We dare to ask. The good news if you like and use the term deep state here were no longer deemed a conspiracy theorist the bad news is the deep state is very real and powerful and a danger to the democratic process the deep state as the 4th branch of government as it counts.
