Territories so the Police Coming in and doing what theyre doing is a backlash is happening it truly is and it seems that at least 2 and 5 canadians are in support of these protests that said you have to look at the bigger numbers saying that they want these protests to end because it is having an impact on the economy the province of quebec alone their premier says that theyre losing about 100000000. 00 a day so in that respect the protesters are getting their job done they are being heard they are being seen the media is paying attention now the question is what happens to that pipeline as you mentioned its a gas pipeline that runs through some of the most pristine territories that we have in canada in Northern British Columbia and according to the hereditary chiefs they dont want to see it in on their land simply because that it could lead to some type of environmental disaster at one point or another we know that pipelines are one. Percents and the 2nd of all it is their territory so theyre saying and the Canadian Supreme Court has agreed that they have their laws on their territory they way that they run their territories according to them and that the canadian government should stay out of it. And alex how effective have the fall of the protest rail blockade bennett pressuring trudeaus government to reverse course on this back and i plan. Probably triodes government is that theyre walking a tight rope at this point so youre looking at a country divided here or oil is amounts of issue pipelines are a massive issue and of course gas falls into this game as well so when youre talking about whats happening right now youre going to have provinces like alberta screaming bloody murder their premier jason kenney who is a massive proponent of oil and the expansion of oil projects in this country that hes you know pushing forward and saying that these people should be arrested the a conservative government share their their government the conservative leader who is the Opposition Leader in our parliament hes also he was pushing trudeau to lets arrest these guys let the rule of law fall into place well weve seen whats happened once the police have taken action this is not stopping the protest what this is doing is just making the protests grow so you have the regular protests from coast to coast in many cities and then you have these blockades these blockades as you mentioned tyrrell are not necessarily always actually on Railroad Tracks except but what has happened with the video that you most likely showed of people being arrested outside or in these blockades you know what the next stage of the blockades was burning tires on Railroad Tracks so this is the issue now the burning of tires this is an environmental thing as well so a lot of people that had support and actually felt for these protesters or say why the heck are you burning tires that is not environmentally sound so you know this game is being played all over the place and for the trio government is just a very difficult thing to a walk. This tightrope the other side be that big promise the Indigenous Peoples of this country that this government was going to pay more attention to their needs and as it stands right now this issue is going to prove if that is so you know it really does show at the end of the day youll discover a protest really does have an effect when you especially look at like the economic effect of just blocking a few real ones had creditably like you mentioned this is really hurt the canadian economy and its made everyone Pay Attention to whats going on up there thank you so much for updating us on the Current Situation in canada always a pleasure having you on alex. Thank you. Key components of a controversial n. S. A. Program that allows the u. S. Government to collect mehta data on its citizens through a rubber stamp approval are set to expire in 3 weeks the Top Administration wants to reauthorize those provisions but hes getting pushback from Congress Partys fan fronsac joins me now in bearing on the house and senate on board with this well the short answer me is going to pretty much be no and let me tell you why so what congress is going to be voting on ironically the ides of march if you like superstition is the renewal of section 215. 00 in the usa freedom act but whats interesting is some parts of the house and senate they want to keep some of these parts but the other parts they actually dont so here we need to look at the 4 parts so section 215 which is the one thats actually calling all causing all the problems its actually going to be the 1st one the 1st is the roving wiretap which actually gives government the right to continue surveillance on a Court Approved National Security target when the target is taking steps to not be surveilled the 2nd Business Records where the government can collect records like your drivers license your passports any Business Records that you have any other documents relative to a National Security investigation this all again without a warrant not a lone wolf provision allows the government to surveil a foreign person whos engaged in terrorism but lacks. Any connections to the terrorist group or foreign power now these are like many of the lone wolf gunman that were seeing posting things on social media and then going and shooting up their workplace but its the last one that has congress literally asking why are we keeping this its the call of detail records that allows the target collection of telephone metadata like the incoming and outgoing calls from a specific number but allegedly not looking at the content of the calls again all done without a warrant and its this one that the call detail records that the con that congress doesnt want to keep and were seeing a lot of bipartisan support on keeping all of the other 3 provisions provisions but just not that last one. Didnt you now the biggest thing is you actually look at 2015 to 2019 how much of this all costs will take a look here 100000000. 00 thats how much it cost out of the 50 reports total though 13 out information that the f. B. I. Was actually able to get through other methods so it goes to show it only really helped in 2 cases meaning its pretty useless especially with a 100000000 dollars price tag of asia. Exactly now President Trump but more importantly bill barr just wishing for congress to vote yes on all of those authorities to yes so again that date kind of very infamous in history bill barr you know he might actually for a private lunch with some of the Top Republicans yesterday on tuesday to make a case for the extension of all of those provisions part of section 215 now you had Senate Judiciary chairman Lindsey Graham you have the g. O. P. Leader of the house of the Senate Intelligence Committee John cornyn of texas saying no to call to the call detail records provision but yes to the other 3 parts and that view is actually being shared by both democrats and republicans but guys dont think that they are by excuse me bipartisanship is actually here just yet there are some House Republicans who are kind of not happy over the use of the warrants to spy on. Former trunk campaign associate carter page if youre a member and its these republicans that want to include section 215. 00. That that new like a warrant the pfizer warrant changes but bar told the republicans actually in their little private meeting that he can use his regulatory powers to make those changes so were seeing a little bit of a quid pro quo here you dont have to add this but you have to vote for all the parts of section 215 if you know the broadway smash musical hamilton you know like one of my favorite songs in the show the wanna be in the room where i have you know where its like you dont know always sad but you dont know where the deal was made but could we be seeing that here from my all my broadway lovers out there its good you carry that through you carry. The hoo boy this is one of those things that bothers me because im im against all of the above right you know ive been since ive heard snowden essentially blew the whistle and opened you know blew the whistle and pulled back the curtain on all the undersea operates ive not been a fan of the n. S. A. Ever since our congress is essentially just handed everything over to them without any real any real kind of like checks and balances really what does what it is were the trumps asking for this outdated absolutely i think that you know the Cost Effectiveness of this also goes into play dr as you stated earlier period they were so much money thrown at this project and to what we surveil thousands of people and got information for how many cases and one of the other part about that too is that you know when Edward Snowden broke this you know congress was actually questioned about this and congress came back and said all no no no no no no we actually were able to thwart and stop 54 cases of terrorism and terroristic plots and then surprisingly surprisingly that was debunked and that was a bunch of you know what and so thats where its very interesting to look at this now and see. Being that here we were lied to about those 54. 00 cases here we were told that this is such a Great Program however its outdated its been you know around since 2015 its not Cost Effective it doesnt help the f. B. I. With anything else because they its shown that the f. B. I. Can go to other different methods to find a lot of this information about me im going to have to wait and find out all this is all going play out so the biggest thing tyrrel is that congress has 14 working days to figure this all out and if there is a divide this is where the problem comes in people so if there is a divide congress could actually pass another blanket reform where all sections of 215. 00 go through and were not looking at that this this whole call detail thing happening until the end of this year so we could be being spied on technically till the end of the year start on trying to excite our and thank you so much for coming on always a pleasure its great breakdown.

The democratic debate in South Carolina was spelled ational in many ways South Carolina stands as the soul of the south the gateway to the black community and if you know anything about the Democratic Party it depends heavily on the turnout of its most loyal base black voters you think issues of Racial Justice economic mobility housing and Health Care Plans specifically dedicated to the thousands of black women dying or shortly after childbirth would be a top agenda item the mortality the Maternal Mortality rate in america why was that of developing nations. Just those types of issues should have been paramount last night. But they didnt receive as much attention as the low hanging fruit attacks on Bernie Sanders were expected after all hes at the top of the leaderboard we saw former Vice President joe biden slam sanders on the cost of his medicare for all proposals his lack of ability to move legislation or develop consensus during his time the senate and the feasibility of his policy proposals mayor bloomberg performed better this go around than the left but considering his 1st debate disaster the only way to go with the mayor people a bit hard hits against sanders specifically targeting his brain of socialism and how it would hurt down ballot races for democrats and quote which are the odd battle of winning over forever red states leaving warren to ramp up attacks on bloomberg uncharacteristically loud booing and shouting define the South Carolina debate at times with the 2 most progressive candidates worn in sanders feeling the heat there were winners and losers last night and a rumor that the Democratic Party charged 1750. 00 for people to attend the debate here to break it all down for us is a debate panel of Experts Joining us as National Political Outreach Coordinator for Bernie Sanders 2016 brand thank you very much for coming home and youve lived through all of this fun excitement before so of you actually you both have done i only lived through it once but the campaign back in 98 why man this was a this was crazy last night and i want to you brought it up to me earlier today the thing with bloomberg and remember but the thing with bernie im going after the cuban stuff is insane and i feel like people are were in a different era now so we saw the attacks on bernie regarding his comments on cuba his comments his previous comments on communism all things that we knew that he said 2016 this is not a new revelation but we saw them brought up last night and there were boos from the crowd i think that were in a different stage at this point where people are so far out from from what they thought of cuba what they thought of the. Castro regime its 2020 i dont know if the people who are necessarily saner supporters care or if were in this different cycle where the understanding of government sometimes doing things that people dont necessarily like or you know uncovering a lot of the shady things that go on behind behind the closed doors is something that the American Public is now more used to seeing that people distrust the American Government as well. If it were just in a different spot they think that those types of attacks dont really land well for bernie i dont think they do either and in fact i think there are a sign of the desperation of the Democratic Party to stop him what weve seen ever since the nevada win has been kind of like a scatter shot shotgun approach you know just throw everything you can at bernie see if anything sticks you know youve got youve got the criticisms on his position on guns before and nothing is working because for the most part its all been done before you know and bernies response to a lot of things has has been perfect i mean bernies response for example the one of the biggest critiques against him has been that of socialism you know why do you call yourself a socialist and so we got this in the bay he got it also in the town halls before that hes been good he got it all throughout 26 and he blames it on it he did it does not run away from the socialism branding at all its fantastic its fantastic and he goes further than that he says what we have right now is socialism is just socialism for the rich and its socialism for corporations he piso hes branded now corporate socialism and he talks about the Walton Family and how the richest family in the world and how theyre workers that wall markets subsidize with buy food stamps and how how taxpayers pay for that i think in those debate processes in the election is that like 1. 00 of tax code with especially if theyre attacking you on something thats the basis of your platform you could you totally should lead into the whole should be proud of it because to me that
