Down an american movie, Censor An American picture it doesnt like, wrong in not calling him first before buckling before a north korean dictator. This is obama laying it on the line in a Press Conference that signalled all the audacity hes packed into a week since the november election, the deal on climate change, the protective order for people who came here illegally, and including the post of an American Ambassador with the communist government in cube a taking questions from all Women Reporters in todays Press Conference, where will this Obama Audacity take us . Im joined by david corn, and by actor, writer and director sean penn who joins me now by phone. First of all, heres the president speaking about sonys decision to pull the interview, the movie that inspired the hacking. Lets watch. Sony is a corporation. I would agree with the president. I think that, you know, im not speaking as an advocate for the Motion Picture industry or as a critic. But we have to realize this is a ge
why not start from the fact that he is indeed a small scale producers who are the main actors and see what they need to do a better job of what they re already doing so i know tentative rees we have in mood examples when you re good to go norma but not to my choice of central region tanzania. we have organized people we organized these small scale farmers who we organized by our our enjoy all throughout the building their own market. people when you harvest gold or silver the own producer said this market the range they decided for their prices when you re good at this center normally known as cube a work these small scale farmers reach was small scale farmers need access to land water and to markets. then they can even supply cities
right. that was a clear rebuke to donald trump, especially on this issue of a religious test for muslims. a lot of strong language coming from the president. at the very end, we also heard a thank you from president obama to these troops who are here listening and cheering on their president. this was the first post presidential speech barack obama gave. he sounded like a historian, like a law professor, when he s laying out in six bullet points what we wants his counterterrorism strategy to be remembered for. and you re right in saying, it was remarkably defensive, not just to attacks on the right. napeltly was he responsible for the proliferation of isis during his presidency. but also drone attacks, and also guantanamo, saying, yes, he s transferred 175 troops, that base just a few hundred miles south of here in cube a remains open, there are 59 detainees still there.
