But trump repeatedly stood by his mass deportation proposals on monday, including during this interview with fox news bill oreilly. Mr. Trump the first thing we do it and when i win is get rid of all of the bad ones. We have a lot of bad people that have to get out of this country. We will get them out.

Amy Hillary Clinton is facing questions after a new round of emails released monday again reveal the close ties between the Clinton Foundation and the state department while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state. The 725 pages of emails were released by the conservative Group Judicial watch, which obtained them through a freedom of information act request earlier this year.

He wanted help getting a visa for a british soccer player. The visa was never granted. On monday, bill clinton said he would remove himself from the board of the foundation if Hillary Clinton becomes president. This all comes as a federal judge has ordered the state department to set a timetable for the release of 15,000 additional emails the fbi has collected during the agencys investigation into clintons use of a private email server. Former secretary of state colin powell is pushing back on rumors he advised clinton to set up a private email servers saying her people are trying to pin it on me.

Former fox news host Andrea Tantaros has filed a lawsuit alleging top fox News Executives punished her after she reported being sexually harassed by former fox news chairman roger ailes. In the lawsuit, tantaros said she was prohibited from wearing pants on air because, as executives told her, roger wants to see your legs. Tantaros also alleges she was removed from one of foxs toprated shows after she refused to turn around during a meeting with roger ailes, who told her he wanted to get a good look at her. Tantaros says that when she told executive bill shine about the harassment he told her to let this one go. Shine has taken over as copresident of fox news following ailes resignation. The lawsuit writes fox news masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sexfueled, playboy mansionlike cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency, and misogyny. Unquote. Ailes resigned in july, receiving a 40 million severance package. In texas, a federal court has issued a nationwide injunction blocking the obama administrations directive saying students have the right under federal law to use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity. The directive, issued in may, suggests School Districts could face lawsuits or loss of funding if they fail to protect transgender students from discrimination and unequal access to facilities. The injunction, issued sunday night, comes as millions of students prepare to return to school this week. This is white house spokesman josh earnest. Our goal has been from the beginning to provide for the safety and security and dignity of students all across the country. So i guess the point is, we have a lot of confidence in the guidance put forward. We have confidence in the legal basis for issuing that guidance. Amy in afghanistan, more than 100 u. S. Soldiers have been sent to the capital of Helmand Province to fight the taliban. Its believed to be the first deployment of u. S. Troops to lashkar gah since 2014. A july report issued by a us. S.

The School Calendar we are going to propose and which we are designing concerns the standards of work being fulfilled with the families, not of us. Not the boss. Amy in june, a Deadly Police attack on protesting teachers in oaxaca left more than nine people dead and more than 100 wounded. U. S. Olympic Gold Medalist ryan lochte has lost 4 corporate sponsorships, including speedo and ralph lauren, amid the scandal over his decision to lie to brazilian authorities about having been robbed. Swimmer lochte and his teammates claimed they were robbed at gunpoint by men posing as Police Officers during the olympic games, but brazilian Authorities Say they actually vandalized a gas station and then invented a story about having been the victims of a robbery. And those are some of the headlines. This is democracy now , democracynow. Org, the war and peace report. I am amy goodman. We turn now to look at north dakota, where indigenous activists are consuming to protest the proposed 3. 8 billion Dakota Access pipeline, which they say would threaten to contaminate the Missouri River. Respect our water. Respect our land. On our rights. Honor our righys. Ts. Amy 1000 indigenous activists have traveled to the Sacred Stones at camp. The protests have shut down construction along parts of the pipeline. A waterrs have included rights activists. Many red nations are here, and many more are coming. We put a call out for land offenders to come, and the word resistance is being used. Sometimes, we have a problem with english language deciding which words to use, but if we listen to our spirit, we are here to protect sacred water. People will come from all along the river to protect the river they belong to. Amy dennis banks has also taken part in the protests against the dakota pipeline. He was also part of the 1973 wounded knee stand off. We are putting a call out for World Leaders to come here wa rriors to come here to do direct action, to stop them because they can contaminate it. We cannot stand for that. We cannot let that happen. I are one made a commitment i for made a commitment they will have to kill me or let me in jail. Lock me in what is happening here is easily important because of the stand you are ready to make. When they threaten the environment, they are threatening you. We are part mountain. We are part ocean. We are part river. We are part flour and grass and trees. All of this. We are part of all of this. The they threaten environment anyplace, they are threatening you. You have to be in that mindset. That is who you are. Are. Is who we our culture, our heritage is what has made us warriors. Amy that was dennis banks. We are joined now by Dave Archambault, the chair of the Standing Rock sioux tribe. Thank you very much for being with us. Can you explain for us what this whole controversy is about. Dave there is a lot of different components that all lead up to one, and it is the pipeline that is threatening the lives of people, lives of my tribe, as well as millions down the river. Of hreatens the ancestry sites that are significant to our tribe. We never had an opportunity to express our concerns. This is a corporation that is coming forward and just bulldozing through without any concern for tribes. The things that have happened to private donations across this have been unjust and unfair, and we can no longer pay the cost for this nations wellbeing. We pay for economic development. We pay for national security. With it for energy independence. Pay for energy independence. It is at our expense we pay for those benefits. We share similar concerns that similar wrongdoings to us, so we are uniting his standing up and saying no more. Amy can you explain what exactly the Dakota Access pipeline is and how it ended up going through your land . Dave Dakota Access pipeline is a pipeline that goes 1200 miles taking crude oil from the Northwest Side of north dakota down to illinois. We were made aware of this in 2014. Our biggest concern was it crossed the Missouri River twice. A lake, and once north of our reservation. Right away, when we first learned of it, we said we do not want this. We dont want it here. It is a private pipeline from a private company out of dallas, texas. Oute is a Big Corporation of dallas who are making decisions for the state and north dakota for my reservation, and they have no sensitivity or acknowledgment of what is in place. Greed see is s and dollar signs and greed, so we are not happy with this company. There are portions of the pipeline across federal lands like water, so they have to get permits. Landowners who do not approve of the pipeline, there is an Eminent Domain taking. The landowners have their hands tied, but in the federal permitting process, of the 1200 miles, 200 waterways, maybe 300 miles, our federal land. Are federal in. Iland. We will ask agencies to reconsider and take a look at this because we never have the opportunity to express our concerns. Amy i want to go back to deborah and lola speaking at the sacred stone camp. We are putting a call out for warriors to come here to do fromt action to stop them going under this water because th it will contaminate it. We cannot stand for that. We cannot let that happen. I for one made a commitment they will have to kill me or locked me in jail lock me in jail, but i will stand to protect the sacred water, and i am guided by spirit. Amy that is deborah, who participated in the 1973 sand up in which members of the American Indian movement occupy wounded knee to demand their treaty rights. To call for focus for action at secret stone. I understand that range. I fought with cops before. I have been shot at by police. I have been shot by police. We got it on with police back in the day, so i understand the rage, but what we are here together to protect sacred water, lets do it with dignity, training, unity. ,my chairman Dave Archambault explain what this cap is, where it is camp is, where it is, how many people are coming out to it, and how the state is responding. Along the camp is Cannonball River close to the mouth of the Missouri River. Mp started out in april of 2016 as a prayer camp. The prayers have been answered. There has been power in prayer. And opened the eyes to everybody that through prayer and unity, great things can happen. Since the demonstrations started , more and more people begin coming in showing overwhelming support for this. We had two large masses of people coming we had to anticipate large masses of people coming. It is on a nice flat. Right now, it is about peace and prayer and uniting. Feeling a really good if you would walk through the camp. There are no guns, violence, drugs, alcohol, and it kind of took a life of its own. And evolved into something special. ,he state has taken action which there is no cause for. Barricade right before you get into fort park, and thisrs par, custers barricade creates a hardship for members who live on Standing Rock. The state also removed its emergency system vehicles that we initially got to establish and accommodate large masses of people. Amy you were arrested there . Dave yes i was. Amy i want to play the north dakota sheriffs comments, claims he made that there have been reports of weapons at sacred stone spirit camp and get your response. Certainly turning into an unlawful protest with the things that have been done and compromised of to up to this point. We have had incidents and reports of weapons, pipe bombs, shots fired. Amy that is the sure. Shieeriff. Your response. Dave there were never any pipe bombs, shots quiet, unlawful activity taking place. When you have a large mass of people in the area, especially with social media, you have rumors. That can create i would ask that the sheriff and governor validate any rumors they come across before they decisions to create a blockade or declare a state of emergency or to remove any of their Emergency Assistance vehicles. I understand they have safety concerns, but you have to be present at the camp, and you will see it as a peaceful place. Shareare happy people who a common prayer. Amy can you explain the lawsuit . Dave we are filing a lawsuit on the destruction of our ancestral burial site and never given the opportunity to protect them as well as the nationwide permitting process. Rather than permitting the project as a whole and doing the full eif, the corps of engineers asked that they permit pieces of it. They require the ea. They are able to do unlawful sites such as destroy our that are sacred to us. They will say they had consulted with us on this matter. To us, consulting does not mean corresponding through letter or mail or presenting us a final draft of what you are going to do. Would mean weus with m need to have deliberations and share our concerns and hope they hear us and see a repression of our concerns in the final plan. None of that has taken place. We asked for consultation prior to any final draft and to survey the routes to make sure that none of the sites that we ifrish would be destroyed not until after they finalize what they want to do. The company that is doing the ea for the corps of engineers tells us how or where they are going to go. Now they invite us to do surveys, and we dont think that is right. We think it is unlawful, unjust. Amy Dave Archambault. When we come back, Winona Laduke will also join us. Stay with us. Amy my friends take courage by the lakota thunder. This is democracy now , democracynow. Org, the war and peace report. As we continue to look at the growing indigenous protest against the 3. 8 billion proposed pipeline, which they say will print to contaminate the Missouri River, we are ,oined now by Winona Laduke native american activist. She lives and works on the White Earth Reservation in northern minnesota. She was the greeparty Vice President ial nominee in 1996 and 2000. Welcome back to democracy now . Can you talk about why you have gotten involved with this battle against the Dakota Access pipeline . Winona good morning first, amy and dave. Is our territory. It is our territory. There are three new lines proposed it to our one of them is the sandpiper that would cross five of our reservations affected by the pipelines, which would go by the mississippi river. There is a push for a brandnew cooridoor. They are falling apart pipelines, so instead of ownning up their mess, they want to create a new mass, so we have been fighting them saying they cannot do that. The courts have been ruling in our favor. I was really surprised because enbridge told us the only thing they can do, the only way they can get their oil to market was to run it through northern minnesota. One day i wake up and they forgot about us and move to north dakota. Seems very disingenuous to me. Amy talk about what you found their. There. What i found in north dakota is the state of north dakota has been bending over backwards for the Oil Companies, although there are now more lawsuits than active drilling rigs out there. There was such a big push to develop this oil and bust up the bedrock of mother earth come up with chemicals in it, look the other way, and protect things are lookin going swimmingly. They are taking a beating on it right now. There is an active 80 drop in drilling. They do not have it going on, but they are bound and determined to get whatever oil out of there they can to. North dakota regulators are in bed with oil industry, and they have looked the other way. They have pushed the pipelines through really fast without any tribal consultation and without a full Environmental Impact statement. That is what needs to happen. , what we say is you should have a role to wheels impact well to wheels impact. It is not just endangering all of the watersheds. It is not just the fact that former editor of Scientific American judy bell says 57 of a catastrophic leak. It is not just that. What about all that carbon . Were sitting here in this world, where there has been no rain in syria for five years. There is catastrophic storms everywhere, and his pipeline will bring about 250,000 per day tons of carbon into the atmosphere. That is what this Dakota Access pipeline is, and that is wrong. A private corporation does not get to decide. Canadianis a corporation, and i have no right they have our and no right to destroy our future. Amy you about thaan enbridge looks a lot like enron. Explain. Winona enbridge is not doing so well. I write letters to the president of enbridge saying, hey i am wondering about a few things,. They had a few catastrophic blowups last year. This year, june 30, they lost this big pipeline. And bridge is in the pipeline business, the Northern Gateway pipeline, 7. 9 billion proposal. They thought they had it with the harper administration. It was looking good in canada. Trudeau gets in. Every tribe, every nation, and the providenc province of britih thembia, what happens is Canadian Federal Appeals Court rules that all of the permits are void. And bridge and the government enbridge and the government have to go back and talk to the first nations. 7. 9 billion pipeline. We got them on the ropes in minnesota. They are now in the eis process although we would like to screw around that skirt around that. Problem called the faulty line scandal. In july, it was announced in the national observer, that enbridge and another company from the these pipes thailandbased company. Discount pipes. They purchased pipes and valves that are faulty. The canadian government says emergency situation. . Here are the pipes, an enbridges lawyers said they need time to disclose where the pipes are. We have six lines going to our ecosystem. Maybe they are there or in a pile next to lake george next to my reservation. We would like a disclosure to where the faulty pipes are that enbridge has. Their shares have dropped 40 from two years ago so i feel like enbridge is not looking so good to their shareholders, and they have a lot of liability they are putting on us, on americans, on native people. I feel like that company is not a reliable corporation. The laborersth, International Union of north america endorsed the Dakota Access pipeline. Terry osullivan, general president , said the men and women of leona apply the u. S. Army corps of engineers for its fair and thorough review for the highly skilled and trained men of leona projects like the Dakota Access. They are more than just pipelines. They are crucial to families and supporting jobs. Corey bryson said we have been inundated with calls from all over the country laborers local 563 business agent, cory bryson said weve been inundated with calls from all over the country from people wanting to work on this pipeline project. Mainline Pipeline Projects like Dakota Access provide excellent working opportunities for our members and tremendous wages. Your response, Winona Laduke. Winona my response is they have a d and infrastructure. That is why everything is eroding in this country. What we need is the skill laborers to be put to work. I am saying take the parts sitting in northern minnesota and send them to flint, michigan. They need billions of dollars worth of pipe infrastructure there. We dont need pipes in minnesota. We would like a little help with our water and sewer systems. I am all for organized labor, but what i want is pipelines, infrastructure for people, not for fossil fuels, not for Oil Companies. I am all for that. There are plenty of people that can be put to work, and it is five times as many jobs doing infrastructure for communities, for people. I am asking America Labor to stand with us and say we want pipelines from infrastructure that goes for communities and people and not Oil Companies that will destroy our environment and caused more Climate Change destruction. Amy Winona Laduke, we want to thank you for being with us. She lives and works on the water reservation. This is democracy now , democracynow. Org, the war and peace report. What we come back, we go to tulsa and North Carolina. Statement us. Stay with us. [music break] amy home by sandmoon lede here on democracy now , democracynow. Org, the war and peace report. Im amy goodman. In oklahoma, Funeral Services were held friday for Khalid Jabara, a lebaneseamerican man police say was shot dead by his nextdoor neighbor in a possible hate crime. Police say stanley majors will be charged with firstdegree murder. The august 12th killing came less than a year after the same neighbor was arrested and jailed for hitting jabaras mother with his car while she was jogging. At the time, the mother already had a restraining order against majors after he threatened and harassed her. Majors served eight months in jail, but was then released on 60,000 bond even though tulsa county prosecutors called him a substantial risk to the public. The jabara family says majors had harassed them for years calling them racial slurs. , the jabaras are Orthodox Christian immigrants from lebanon, which they fled in the 1980s.

Victoria, can you describe the history of what took place. . Listed not just happen in one moment. Victoria no. It was definitely a progression likeents, and it seems every time my family and i would Contact Police or the authorities as we were supposed to do over the last several years, stanley majors would just retaliate and stronger. Years or sot four from violating two protective orders, one of them would be hitting my mom while she was walking with his car, and to the most recent incident where he killed my brother. Know, just been, you pretty traumatic over those dids, especially since we everything we were supposed to do. Ami, myain, r condolences, all of our condolences to you and your family. When did you first meet stanley majors, your nextdoor neighbor . Rami i think he came around maybe in 2012. I dont think i officially met him face to face. We tried to avoid him, especially as my sister was saying as the insults and remarks and racist comments began. We thought we need to stay away from this particular neighbor. Amy what would he say . Victoria he yelled racial slurs at myat my mom us, mom, and my dad. They all reside in my parents s house. Dirty arabs. Dirty lebanese. Muslims, even though my family is Orthodox Christian. He yelled racial slurs at neighbors as well. Mowing our family friend hourlong, and he is africanamerican. Heal racial slurs at him. He yelled racial slurs at him. Completely unprovoked. Can you explain what happened when you first filed . Mom racist remarks, and my was like, what can we do to help protect ourselves . We told her she could file a protective order against him. November 2013, we got that against him. Victoria he was coming on our property and taking pictures of our house, of my parents. Like,as kind of the final ok, this guy is going to come onto our property. Rami of secure phone calls. Sending very strange letters to my sister and uncle. Amy you had a productive order when he ran over your mother . Rami correct. Victoria correct. That was the second violation. Amy violation . He is arrested and jailed and not try . He is held for eight months and released . Rami there was a first violation in march 2015, and that involved in making his usual racist remarks, being belligerent and drunk while we had a Family Gathering over easter. Violationolation of he numbe one. He would have several hearings supposedly leading up to a trial, but he continually did not show up to his hearings. Eventually, the judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest, which is common when a defendant does not show up to their required hearings. That was violation number one. In september 2015, that was violation number two when he ran over our mother, leaving her for dead in the street. Victoria that is when he went to jail, but he was never tried. Defendants,h many they have the option of a set bond. After we had discussed with the District Attorney basically saying this guy cannot be out on the streets, he needs to be held without bond, and they did follow our instructions. For eight months, he was held without bond. Amy and then . 2016,and then, in may of we were checking the status of as itse as we normally do is slowly leading up to a suppository. We realize that on a routine hearing, a criminal defense attorney entered on majorss have, there was a motion made for bond, and the judge granted it without our knowledge, without objection from the District Attorneys office. Amy so he was released . Rami he was released. Actual conditions on his release, of course, but without resolution of the prior incidents. Amy how soon after he was released did he kill khalid jabar . Victoria i think beginning of june they had the emergency hearing where they increased the bond. Then, he made bail. June to august 12. Amy what happened . Were either of you there on august 12 . Lives in my brother dallas, and i live in tulsa. My mom called. I was at a friends house with my daughter. She said he has been shot, you have to go to the hospital, they will not let me leave because it is a crime scene. At that time, i dont know what information she got, but she made it seem like he got hit in the leg, and he was going to be ok. I rushed to the hospital. Us he died. Hey told i met my parents, my husband and i met my parents. They were staying in a secure area next to our house while the detectives were there on friday night. I met them there. It was a four hour or find our hour pursuit of majors, and they never got into his house. Amy khalid jabar called right e majors shot him dead, and the police came and left . Victoria we are still waiting for the police report, but it looks like my brother called twice to call the police, once when he learned he had a gun. He said he heard some knocking on his door on a window, and he went out, and stanley majorss spouse was driving away, and he said he hit me with a gun. My brother called my mom, was not home at the time and said dont come home because we learned he had a gun. They called 911. My brother called 911 the first time, saying he heard some knocking. I have not read the police report. I dont know if he called when he heard the knocking the first time and then again when he learned he had a gun . He called twice, and the police came at once. They said they knocked on stanley majorss door. They cannot go in or do anything despite my brothers plea and explaining the story. The police left. Eight minutes later, my brother was shot. Amy i want to bring in another guest to this conversation as we continue to talk about the killing of Khalid Jabara in tulsa, obama. Dr. Mohammad is with us. His two daughters were shot dead along with another in chapel hill, North Carolina, by a neighbor. 19, 21, 23. Police initially said the killings were resulted from a dispute over a parking space, but relatives described the killing as a hate crime. The suspected gunman has been charged with three counts of firstdegree murder. Dr. Mohammad joins us. As you listen to the story, it must sound horrifyingly familiar. Dr. Mohammad it does. First of all, like to express condolences to the jabara family. Your story is a most identical to ours, and i know how you feel. Too many tone lose, but we lost three children in seconds. Up, and were torn will never be the same. Energy,ks, nightmares, sad mood most of the time, and even our relationships and Community Activities have changed. It is horrible. Similarities in these cases are so many. Childreno harassed my many times. He never threatened anybody this say until he saw my daughter shall on the scene with the hijab, and he could tell they were muslim. Before that, he never did that with my soninlaw because he looked like an average tall slim athletic White American boy. Nobody could tell he was a muslim. They never had an accent either. Once he began to see my daughters, he began to raise the heat. He told my daughter he hated her and how she dressed and how she appeared. Although they were three gorgeous children, the maturity workers, and the reason, he saw them as just muslims, and he zoned in on them, planning to kill them, and he carried out his threats in a very premeditated and coldblooded fashion.
