look at our economy today we broke 4% 3.9% we hit today for the first time in

many many years we're really proud of it president Trump touting his unemployment

numbers u.s. jobless claims dropped to three point nine percent in April

hitting below four percent for the first time in 18 years so should the president

get more credit for the economic boon here to discuss Democratic strategist

max burns max good morning morning how are you so the economy seems to be doing

well morning in America why are Democrats not happy I think the

challenge here is Donald Trump is always going to complain Donald Trump isn't

getting enough credit but if you look at his Twitter and I hate to recommend that

to anybody he says three point nine percent unemployment we broke for in the

meantime witch-hunt so if he wants to prioritize this topic he should try and

focus at least until the end of his own sentence sure but we can let him talk

about Robert Muller and what not but can you admit that the economy is getting

stronger under Donald Trump I think what Valerie Jarrett said is absolutely right

there's still steam in this economic recovery from President Obama we've

steadily gone down to three point nine from where we were at the height of the

recession job growth has remained largely stable but now we're starting to

see concerning trends where wages remain stagnant monthly job growth is starting

to track below replacement which is 150000 soar if we hit that a couple

months in a row that rates gonna start creeping back now I mentioned Valerie

Jarrett let's hear from her and then we'll debate on the other side

new job numbers the lowest in anybody's memory three point nine percent

unemployment rate I spent 15 months of Donald Trump's presidency do you give

him credit for that we have to look at it over a longer horizon than that if

you think about what the economy was like when President Obama took office

and we were losing 750,000 jobs a month and under his watch the unemployment

rate dropped in half and it's encouraging to see that we're continuing

to make progress max that's all well and good Barack Obama stopped the job losses

big time I was there covering him in 2009

that's a lifetime ago so I want to ask you again sure

so Barack Obama staved off the job loss in onine does Donald Trump get credit

now let's talk in the present tense I think it's definitely good anytime

Americans have but get credit I think that's that's a tough thing son why

can't you want to give Barack Obama credit when things were going okay under

him but I've given you three or four chances now does Donald Trump get any

credit I think if we can get to a point where these job growth figures are more

evenly distributed to where the places that are hurting the most are actually

getting those jobs but we can talk for more than a year the economy is press

conference is strong job growth has been strong you're saying it's not strong

enough fine but Barack Obama hasn't been in office for what 15 months now so does

Donald Trump get even an iota of credit for Democrats I think we can we can say

thank you for not completely tanking

about what happened in 2009 we're now living in 2018 for the last time this

does Donald J Trump get any credit I think Donald Trump has given himself

more than enough credit for everybody he's cut regulations he's cut taxes has

that helped the economy I'm not if you look at labor force participation not if

you look at wages if you are rich or you own a huge business like Apple yeah

you're doing great and company's giving out bonuses to average workers as well

but companies last quarter has spent three hundred billion dollars buying

back their own stock less than half that amount and actually giving raises which

are longer term than just a bonus all right max no credit for the president I

see we'll have you back we'll try again all right meanwhile a breast cancer

screening failure now being blamed for hundreds of deaths in the UK a brutal

story is this a side effect of government-run health care or not it

could have happened in America we're going to ask dr. Nichols a furrier next

and went to Bill Belichick dr. oz and Lou Ferrigno have in common what

President Trump is getting them together anything to do with the incredible

all right some quick headlines for you Hawaii now under a state of emergency

after a magnitude six point nine earthquake rattles the Big Island the

largest in more than 40 years

the Kilauea volcano continues to spew lava into the air as thousands are

forced to evacuate dangerous levels of toxic gas they've been detected making

air quality a big concern on the island and the last group of caravan asylum

seekers from Central America are now in the u.s. so far more than 220 members

have crossed the border many illegally the president tweeting in part this he

said our southern border is under siege Congress must act now to change our weak

and ineffective immigration laws must build a wall a beef oh do well a major

breast cancer screening mistake up to 270 women in England may have died

because they were not called in for their mammogram health officials are

blaming it on a computer glitch but how will the government-run health care

system deal with the backlog and could this happen here in the US joining us

now is breast cancer specialist dr. Nicole Safire always good to have you

doctor but this is a pretty unfortunate situation lives were lost how bad is

this so if there's tragedy anytime a cancer is not found on our early

detection our screening programs it's an abomination when it is due to a

government computer glitch what happened was in the UK under their government

system you have to be invited to undergo your cancer screening it's not a

conversation you're having with the doctor you get a letter that says you

can go and get your mammogram now well what happened was a computer error in

2009 made it so 450,000 women didn't get that letter and therefore didn't get

their breast cancer screening and they are saying up to 270 women died from

advanced breast cancer perhaps because they did not undergo the screening and

really you will only see such a monumental disaster as this when you

have that single-payer government-run system because patients are codified

numbers on a spreadsheet this is what happens when you do away with that

doctor-patient relationship which we are still fortunate to have in the United

States a doctor you have a lot of Democrats that are calling for that here

in the United States Bernie Sanders is often talking about single-payer what

would that mean if we implemented that here in the US so Bernie Sanders loves

to use my face when he has unilateral debate about it

thank you when he has unilateral debates with me about single-payer but I would

love to see his positive spin on this this is a catastrophe and yes if we

implement a single-payer system now what they have in the UK is a little bit

different it's called universal health care where not only is government in

charge of the insurance but everyone's employed by the government all the

physicians are employed by the government they're screening programs

are actually very different than what we even have in the United States they have

to cost cut and ration some of their care so they don't even benefit from

breast cancer screening the way we do in the United States if we're to go to any

form of single payer and by the way candidate is the same thing they don't

have nearly great robust system that we have in the United States in terms of

breast cancer screening if we go to a single payer system costs will need to

be cut and in that largely does come from preventive medicine and screenings

so that is a huge concern I have for us should women be concerned here at the US

when you go to the polls and vote if you're voting for a single-payer system

then you are voting to say that I want to be a number on a spreadsheet you will

be separating yourself from that doctor-patient relationships and instead

of your doctor saying to you these are your risk factors you need to start your

screening now you're on a spreadsheet and you'll get a letter telling you if

and when you should do something and I'm who do you want to trust well there are

a lot of unhappy people I would imagine right now in the UK yeah absolutely what

it had a believable all right dr. safar I was gonna have you on with us thank

you for having me all right coming up on the show

Hyundai is Making it Easier for U.S. Dealers to Sell Genesis Luxury Cars - Duration: 3:11.

Genesis has been on a bit of a roller coaster since it was spun off from Hyundai as its

own luxury brand.

Until recently, the plan was to open a whole new dealer network for Genesis so the fancy

luxury cars wouldn't have to share showrooms with Elantras.

According to a recent report in Automotive News, the previous plan to sell Genesis vehicles

exclusively through standalone dealers has been revised to make all U.S. Hyundai dealers

eligible to sell Genesis luxury cars.

Genesis has planned to roll out a chain of Genesis retailers consisting of about 100

stores in 48 markets.

Genesis franchises need to be applied for separately and the dealerships still need

to set aside special stores and service facilities just for Genesis, but it seems like it's gotten

a lot easier for American Hyundai dealers to sell luxury cars.

"By having more nationwide distribution, you're going to allay consumer fears that they'll

be traveling and not be able to get service on their vehicle," said a southern U.S. Genesis

dealer to Automotive News.

"If it pans out, it'll be a great thing.

It'll help sell more cars, it'll help overall dealer profitably, strengthen their dealer

network, and include all those who want to sell the product, and believe in the Genesis

product, to sell and service those cars.

I think it's a great decision."

So, if a Hyundai dealer does go forward with a Genesis franchise, how will that work?

"For those that chose to become a Genesis franchisee, the same requirements as we had

before to achieve brand separation and independence still remain: for example the standalone facility

requirement remains the same as before so they must provide a separate Genesis facility

to our design and spec requirements by 2021," said Genesis representative Kevin Smith in

an email to The Drive.

The total number of dealers selling Genesis vehicles may actually be higher than earlier

expectations.

While the plan was to just have the 100 or so standalone dealers, now the number depends

on how many Hyundai dealers apply for Genesis franchises and how many of them are approved.

Genesis is trying to find a happy medium by keeping a measure of exclusivity to the brand

while still being accessible to the people who want the cars.

If you're in the market for a Genesis and you were worried about how you were going

to get one, it should be easier than previously thought despite the push for exclusivity.

Ingraham:US JUDJE QUESTIONS SPECIAL CONSELS POWERS IN MANAFORT CASE - Duration: 15:08.

a federal judge just unloads on Bob Muller's legal team suggesting that

they're lying and only out to get Trump ha does that sound familiar district

judge TS Ellis is hearing the case against former Trump campaign manager

Paul Manafort in the Eastern District of Virginia and in court today he blasted

the special counsels legal team questioning their motives and even their

honesty Ellis told prosecutors you don't really care about Mr Man afford you

really care about what information mr. Man afford can give you to lead you to

mr. Trump and an impeachment or whatever the judge demanded to see the so-called

scope memo outlining the range of Muller's Russia probe and when

prosecutors objected it his unrelated material Ellis retorted I'll be the

judge of that and then he added we don't want anyone

in this country with unfettered power it's unlikely you're going to persuade

me the special prosecutor has the power to do anything he or she wants the

American people feel pretty strongly that no one has unfettered power well a

delighted president Trump broke news of the hearing to the NRA annual meeting in

Dallas this afternoon a highly respected judge in Virginia made statements it

says Wall Street Journal it says Judge questions Muller's authority to

prosecute manifold judge Thiele who is really something very special I hear

from many standpoints he's a with her sister suggested the charges before the

US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia which is part of

the Muller teams the pressure mr. metaphor into giving up

information on President Donald Trump or others in the campaign I've been saying

that for a long time to winch on it well let's review these developments with

House Intel Committee Chairman Devin Nunez we have a lot to talk about

with him chairman Nunez it's good to see you ts Ellis I know very well he's a

senior judge in the Eastern District of Virginia

a long time ago I interviewed with him I think I even argued a case before him at

one point very well-respected appointed by President Reagan back in 1987 but he

was brutal on the the counsel who was arguing the case Michael Dreeben who is

the basically a Deputy Solicitor General who's now in the Moller office what were

your thoughts on his comments about how this is really outside the scope of the

mulher Authority I was astonished by the comments the judge made today although

it's not surprising everything in this case laura has just gone off the rails

there's not a day that goes by that something new crazy doesn't break you

know finally just today we were able to get the two pages that we needed that we

now know that Comey and McCabe did in fact say that general Flynn

you know the agents that interviewed general Flynn didn't think he was lying

now we listened to mr. Comey over the last three weeks run around saying just

the opposite so you have the judge saying that they're lying but the Moller

teams lying you now have the case where we now know that mr. Comey has been

lying out there publicly this continues to just I think that's been will during

quite frankly now congressman Jim Comey basically decided to override the agents

including Peter struck who you know we focus on Struck's techs with Lisa Paige

and maybe as an animus against President Trump but I believe unless I'm wrong I

believe Peter struck with one of the agents who interviewed Mike Flynn and we

had heard this from some time now confirm that Mike Flynn didn't lie Lisa

it was up to them meaning port Mike Flynn they had the twist of the screws

on him to please guilty to a false statement in order to

you know like a lot of people do save their family save their whatever money

they have left and and meanwhile Comey is going around saying no no no he lied

and this is what you know it's it's wild why would you this is the override the

agent this is my question well well look this isn't new news to us on the

Intelligence Committee this has been the problem of all these issues that they

keep classified from the American people so we knew this very shortly after the

interview took place mister the interview where the FBI agents went into

the White House and interviewed mr. Flynn shortly after that mr. Comey comes

in briefs us that's on the record I know he also briefed other committees so on

the record we knew what mr. Comey said we had the transcripts we have been

fighting with the Department of Justice and the FBI for six weeks to release

this information to the American people we finally have it tonight late on a

Friday night this is totally unacceptable you have the judge from

this morning this has just continued ridiculous behavior it's like they just

want to keep digging and the American people are beginning to understand that

the Department of Justice and the FBI have major problems I have no idea how

they can investigate themselves but evidently they continue to believe they

can but they have so many more documents that they have to provide to us that we

that we needed like yesterday and I hate to have to continue to come out publicly

and talk about this that we are still

yeah let's remind everyone a few weeks ago you were on the show I believe it

was a Friday night if my memory serves me correct maybe it was a Thursday night

and you essentially threatened rod Rosenstein with contempt of Congress or

impeachment if the underlying document the computer document that authorized

the probe of the spying on Carter page surveillance on Carter page wasn't

released he did finally then release that congressman Nunez however now

you're getting slammed in response by CNN and now others that you

are asked for these documents and then you Devon Nunez have a staffer read them

you don't read them so how serious are you you just want to help the president

you're not even reading the documents what about that CNN report that came out

today yeah so look I I enjoy being attacked the first thing I will tell you

is whatever CNN in The New York Times are write or talk about I don't read

their information I will tell you that we're not going to get into the

specifics about how we conduct our investigation but I will tell you Laura

and I've said this numerous times on your show and others is that mr. Gowdy

if our lead investigator mr. Gowdy is the one who reviews all the initial

documents with our investigators I'm not going to get into the processes that we

use that as the chairman of the committee when they need documents they

come to me we use the power that we have vested in us by the Constitution to try

to force the Department of Justice and the FBI to comply yeah I'm trying to

help our viewers understand this though when you're when they come after you and

say Nunez is is getting getting these documents I think a lot of people want

you to have these documents then you don't read them it opens you up to

criticism so I mean I don't understand why it compromises the investigation for

you to say I read the documents that are necessary

to do this investigation and I consult with my staff on the you know on the

primary documents but I read those so I don't understand why your reluctance to

say whether you read them or don't read them I don't get that well look this is

first of all what they're talking about there in that is is that it's a page and

a half what what specifically we were looking for and that as you may remember

is we are looking we're investigating the State Department we are looking for

any official intelligence that came across through the five eyes channels

that's what we were looking for that was not in the document so at that point at

this point we have other lines of inquiry that we're going down we have

subpoena out there and so you know this is this is why you know we can play

process games all the time but if they alt a long but at the end of the day

here yeah you know we continue to have our investigation

blocked we continue have to deal with the missing from disinformation

campaigns well I may and this is what the left always does just so I mean

everyone who watches this show understands because they've done it too

may they've tried to when you're effective and when you're holding people

accountable and if you are conservative or if you've ever supported the

president you are a target and so that's why you know all the articles floating

around about you and Paul Ryan should take you off the committee that was a

couple of weeks ago it's it's predictable I want to read for you a

comment by Eric Lichtblau about what's happened to the FBI he said many view

Trump's attacks as self-serving he's called the renowned agency an

embarrassment to our country and its investigations of its business and

political dealings as a witch-hunt but as much as the bureau's roughly fourteen

thousand special agents might like to tune out the news internal and external

reports have found lapses throughout the agency and longtime observers looking

past the partisan haze see a troubling picture something really is wrong at the

FBI now that's not Devon Nunez saying that that is a Lichtblau sang it yeah

this is what I've actually conveyed this to director Ray he has a tough tough job

to do he needs to clean the place up I've said this also publicly there we

don't see a systemic problem out in the field with field agents or with people

overseas that are doing very difficult work trying to track down terrorists and

other bad guys where we do see a problem is in Washington DC now - director Ray's

credit you have seen many of the Comey era people have been excused that's a

good sign okay would be even better is if director

ray made sure that we get this information that we need in a timely

manner congressman thank you so much for joining us tonight we really appreciate

it and here with reaction are two esteemed attorneys scott Bolden joins us

from Las Vegas along with Alan Dershowitz in New York he's the author

of the new book trumped-up how the criminalization of political differences

in dangers democracy great to see both of you thank you professor Dershowitz

judge Ellis you know him well I know him well

for a long time ago and I was litigator he's incredibly talented judge

he he pretty much calls balls and strikes 77 years old senior judge on the

Eastern District he just laid into the special counsels office

he's cantankerous he's known for that too but he laid into them there was a

one quote that I especially want to raise here he said I don't see what

relationship this indictment has against metaphor with anything the special

counsel is authorized to investigate it's unlikely you're going to persuade

me the special counsel has this unfettered power to do whatever he wants

look every criminal lawyer I know every experienced lawyer has known from the

beginning what's going on they're going after people like manna Ford and Flynn

and Cohen not because they have any interest in any of them they just want

to flip them they want to make them not only sing but as the judge put it in his

statement maybe even make them compose you know I think I came up with that

phrase he's composing instead of singing the judge was just saying what we all

have known right from the beginning the only difference between this judge and

other judges is this judge is completely and totally honest he calls it the way

he sees it he's absolutely right this is what's been going on the amazing thing

is that he called them on it he said to prosecutors essentially you can't do

that if you're a special counsel you have to go after directly the evidence

that's within your mandate you can't be finding people creating or exaggerating

or coming up with crimes not in order to get those people but in order to squeeze

them and get them to sing and compose it's about time a judge honestly looked

at the situation and assessed that you and I have been talking about this now

for months we shouldn't be surprised but it's surprising that and refreshing that

a federal judge will say that it also indicates what another point I made why

didn't Muller take this case out of Virginia and try to put it in Washington

DC because he knows that he would get more positive judges more positive

jurors in the District of Columbia then he would get in Virginia in Virginia

he's going to get judges like this who was straight in DC he's going to be

understand jury who a much much more anti-trump and so clearly that was judge

shopping jury shopping when I said that I was

the racist I was condemned congressman condemn me professors condemn me but I

think I think this opinion vindicates what I've been saying for a long long

time Scott he has we do have another aspect of the case that's still in DC I

think we might have just lost got there that is in DC and we'll get him back let

me know and it's Amy Berman Jackson professor Dershowitz who is a Obama

appointee and so she is she still hasn't ruled on the motion to dismiss but these

bank banking transactions go back to 2004 in 2007 and so Dreeben tries to

argue today saying well no this is within the scope of the investigation

any and he said I'll be the judge of that he's like I don't think so I'll be

the judge of that so in 2004 2007 an investigation that began in 2014 a

professor was somehow just just looked into the Muller investigation it is

ridiculous it's so patently obvious from the very beginning you were way ahead of

the curve on it well no and it's so important because what they're doing to

these people like manna Ford and Flynn and Cohen could happen to any of us if

we happen to be collateral damage if you know somebody who they're going after

they're gonna find something on you they're gonna squeeze you this is

something that has plagued the American justice system for many decades look if

they do it to get the Mafia maybe it's understandable if they do it to get

terrorists maybe it's understandable but to do it to get an elected President of

the United States somebody who I voted against but who's the elected President

of the United States to use that tactic the mafia terrorist tactic of squeezing

people and making them testify and making them sing and making them

composed in dangers the civil liberties of all Americans let's look at what

President Trump said today after he heard about the continuing conversation

about whether he should speak to a grand jury or be interviewed by Muller he made

these

SOLEDAD: THESE MOMS ARE PUSHING CONGRESS TO FINALLY TAKE ACTION.

I AM SOLEDAD O'BRIEN.

WELCOME TO "MATTER OF FACT COME KOKE TO YOU FROM NEW YORK CITY.

THIS WEEKEND'S MARCH FOR -- MATTER OF FAC," COMING TO YOU FROM NEW YORK CITY.

THIS WEEKEND'S MARCH FOR MOMS ADDRESSES CONVOCATIONS WITH PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH.

BRBLACK WOMEN ARE THREE TO FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE IN CHILDBIRTH.

MORE THAN HALF OF THOSE DEATHS ARE CONSIDERED PREVENTABLE.

KRISTI TURLINGTON BECAME AN ADVOCATE FOR MATERNAL HEALTH AFTER EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE BIRTH OF HER FIRST CHILD.

SHE NOW HEADS THE NONPROFIT EVERY MOTHER COUNTS.

LISA IS AN OB/GYN WHO SPECIALIZES IN MATERNAL MEDICINE.

TAKE US BACK TO YOUR CHILD'S BIRTH.

WHAT WENT WRONG?

CHRISTIE: I CAME INTO MOTHERHOOD PREPARED AND READY FOR THIS EXPERIENCE, AND I HAD A LOT OF OPTIONS.

I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY.

I WANTED TO HAVE AN UNMEDICATED BIRTH, SO I HAD A MIDWIFE.

I ALSO HAD BACKUP IN CASE THINGS DID NOT GO AS PLANNED.

THE DELIVERY WENT FINE, BUT THERE ARE STILL THINGS HAPPENING.

THERE'S STILL BIRTHING THAT'S HAPPENING.

SO I DID NOT DELIVER MY PLACENTA AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD IN A VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD WAY.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT THE DOCTOR NEEDED TO BE CALLED AND I HEMORRHAGED.

I LOST A LOT OF BLOOD.

AND COMING OUT OF THE EXPERIENCE I HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

AND I CAME ACROSS STAGGERING INFORMATION AT THE TIME WHICH WAS THAT POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE WAS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD AND THAT WE WERE LOSING

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF WOMEN EVERY YEAR SOLEDAD: IT'S A CRAZY STATISTIC, AND NOT JUST AROUND THE GLOBE.

IF YOU FOCUS ON THE UNITED STATES, OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRIES ARE MAKING A LOT OF PROGRESS ON MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH, BUT THE U.S. IS DOING WORSE.

WHY IS THAT?

>> THE REASONS ARE MANY.

IT STEMS FROM EDUCATION OF THE MOM TO MULTISYSTEM PROBLEMS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION OF HOSPITALS.

SOLEDAD: IT DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION IN WAYS WE WERE NOT HAVING EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.

IT WAS ALSO SHOCKING -- I FEEL LIKE I HAVE USED THE WORD SHOCKING A BUNCH OF TIMES -- THAT BLACK WOMEN HAVE A MORTALITY RATE 3-4 TIMES HIGHER THAN THEIR WHITE COUNTERPARTS.

I THINK OFTENTIMES WE THINK OF THAT AS A CORRELATION WITH SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, BUT IF YOU ADJUST FOR THOSE AND CONTROL FOR THOSE, COLLEGE-EDUCATED BLACK WOMEN AND MIDDLE-CLASS BLACK

WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO DIE IN CHILDBIRTH.

WHY IS THAT?

LIKE SOME OF THAT IS RELATED TO CHRONIC ILLNESSES.

THERE IS A HIGHER RATE OF CHRONIC DISEASE LIKE DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

BUT EVEN WITHOUT THOSE PROBLEMS, THERE IS A HIGHER RATE OF MORTALITY AND WE NEED TO DRILL DOWN ON THAT.

THAT IS ONE OF THE NEW INITIATIVES THAT ARE COMING OUT TO ADDRESS WHETHER RACIAL DISPARITIES ARE RELATED TO THIS INCREASE IN MORTALITIES.

SO, THESE BUNDLES HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED THROUGH THE ALLIANCE FOR MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH SO THAT HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES CAN BEGIN TO IMPLEMENT THESE CARE PACKAGES.

THE BUNDLES ARE SIMILAR TO WHEN YOU FLY ON DELTA AND AMERICAN, IF THE PLANE IS TURBULENT, THEY TELL YOU TO PUT UP YOUR TRAY AND RAISE YOUR SEAT.

THESE ARE EVIDENCE-BASED PROTOCOLS HOSPITALS CAN U SO THAT EVERY TIME SOMETHING HAPPENS, THEY DO THE SAME THING.

THE PATIENT IS HEMORRHAGING, WE CALL THE BLOOD BANK, WE PUT AN IV IN.

SOLEDAD: YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WORK SINCE YOUR FIRST CHILD WAS BORN.

DO YOU SEE PROGRESS GLOBALLY?

CHRIST GLOBALLY, TREMENDOUS PROGRESS.

THAT'S THE THING THAT IS SO STRIKING ABOUT THE U.S.

WE WERE RANKED 41ST.

TODAY, WE ARE RANKED 46TH.

WE HAVE FALLEN FURTHER BEHIND.

THAT IS WHAT'S BEGGING THE QUESTION.

WE MADE INCREDIBLE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE 1930'S, BROUGHT THESE RATES DOWN VERY, VERY LOW, AND NOW WE HAVE SEEN A RISE IN THE LAST TWO DECADES OR SO.

THE OUTCOMES ARE PROVEN TO BE SO MUCH STRONGER WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEBODY BY YOUR SIDE GOING THROUGH THIS.

US Interventions in Latin America Continue and Intensify - Duration: 13:50.

It's the Real News Network.

I'm Greg Wilpert coming to you from Quito, Ecuador.

Ten years ago, most of Latin America was governed by center-left progressive or even leftist

governments.

For example, Cristina Fernandez in Argentina, Evo Morales in Bolivia, Rafael Correa in Ecuador,

Fernando Lugo in Paraguay, Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua, Manuel Zelaya in Honduras, and

Lula da Silva in Brazil, just as an example.

And Hugo Chavez, of course, in Venezuela.

Since then, the so-called 'pink tide' has receded quite dramatically.

Of these 10 governments that were left of center, only four remain.

Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, Morales in Bolivia, Vazquez in Uruguay, and Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua.

What happened?

Some would argue that the U.S. played an important role in at least some of these changes.

Joining me to explore the role of the U.S. in Latin America is Mark Weisbrot.

Mark is the co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, and is the author

of the book "Failed: What the Experts Got Wrong About the Global Economy."

He's also the president of the organization Just Foreign Policy.

Thanks for being here again, Mark.

Thanks, Greg.

Thanks for having me.

So before we get into the role of the U.S. in Latin America, it's useful maybe to take

a quick look at the impact that the leftist or center-left governments had on Latin America.

What would you say were the main achievements or the main consequences of their governments

in some of those countries?

Well, if you look at the region as a whole, the poverty rate dropped from 44 to 28 percent.

That was from around 2003-2013.

And that was after the two decades prior where poverty had actually increased, there was

no progress at all.

So that was a huge change, and it was accomplished in different countries in different ways.

You know, there were large increases in public investment in Bolivia and Ecuador.

In Brazil you had also some increase in public investment , big increases in the minimum

wage.

You know, every country did different things to help bring healthcare, and increase, in

some countries, education, access to education.

And there were a whole lot of reforms.

Changes in macroeconomic policy.

Getting rid of the IMF.

So there were a lot of different things that these governments did that prior governments

were either unable or unwilling to do to improve people's living standards during a period

of higher economic growth, which they also contributed to.

And so how has Latin America changed now since then, when right-wing governments took over

most of the continent?

Well, you have different things that have changed.

I mean, one is, of course, they're implementing, as you would expect, right-wing reforms.

Trying to cut pension system, the pension in Brazil, passing a constitutional amendment

which, you know, even most economists in the world wouldn't support in Brazil, which prohibits

the government from increasing spending beyond the rate of inflation.

You have, you know, huge increases in utility prices in Argentina, laying off thousands

of public sector workers.

So everywhere where the right has come back, you do have some regressive changes.

And so how has the U.S. contributed to these changes, and what goals would you say is the

U.S. pursuing in the area?

Well, I think the U.S. has contributed in so many ways it would take an hour at least

to summarize just some of this history.

But I think the U.S. has been involved in, in most of these countries in various ways.

Obviously in Venezuela they've been involved since the coup in 2002, and they tried to

overthrow the government and tried to help people topple the government on several occasions

there.

In Brazil they supported the coup against Dilma, the parliamentary coup.

So they didn't do that strongly, but they sent enough signals, for example, I've mentioned

this before on this show, right as the House was voting to impeach Dilma without actually

presenting a crime that she committed, the head of the Foreign Relations Committee from

the Senate came and met with the number three official from the U.S. State Department, Tom

Shannon.

And then of course in August of that year, the Secretary of State John Kerry went down

there and had a press conference with the Acting Foreign Minister Jose Serra.

And they, of course, talked about how great relations with the U.S. were going to be before

Dilma was actually removed from office.

So these were ways of endorsing the coup.

And of course, the Department of Justice contributed to , the FBI, the Department of Justice contributed

to the investigation that was instrumental in imprisoning Lula.

Now, what they did in that investigation we don't know exactly, but we do know enough

about it to know that it wasn't a neutral investigation.

That is, the investigation did end up decapitating the Workers' Party for now, first helping

get rid of Dilma, but more importantly, or more substantially, in terms of its contribution,

they they helped put Lula in prison and prevent him from running for office.

And in other countries, in Paraguay, the U.S. helped in the consolidation of that parliamentary

coup by organizing within the Organization of American States.

In Honduras is probably the biggest role that the U.S. has played, both in consolidating

the military coup in 2009, Hillary Clinton acknowledged her role in making sure that

President Zelaya, the democratically elected president, would not return to office, and

then more recently in November they helped consolidate the results of an election which

pretty much all observers regarded as stolen.

Those are just a few of the examples.

I mean, I guess I didn't even mention Argentina, where other branches of government were involved

as well as the executive, but the executive cut off lending from multilateral development

banks such as the Inter-American Development Bank, and tried to block loans at the World

Bank, as well.

And they restored everything as soon as the right-wing government was elected.

And then there was Judge Griesa in New York, who took all of Argentina's, over 90 percent

of Argentina's creditors, hostage in order to squeeze them so that the government would

pay off the vulture funds.

And this was very political, because he also lifted the injunction as soon as you had the

right-wing government.

And I think this is very important, because obviously it's not necessarily a conspiracy

of all these branches of government.

The legislative branch was involved in this as well, in the United States.

But they all have the same mindset, and they're all trying to get rid of these left governments,

and they had a massive contribution.

I mean, Argentina, that did contribute to the downfall of Cristina Kirchner.

It contributed to balance of payments problems that they had there.

So this was important, and it's totally ignored here in the United States.

And then why was it ignored in the United States?

I mean, what is it about U.S. media coverage, and why is there so little coverage of U.S.

role and Latin America?

Well, you know, maybe you should interview some of the reporters who cover it, if they're

willing to answer that question.

I think that it's it's complicated in some ways, but in some ways it's very simple.

First of all, for U.S. intervention anywhere in the world they have a kind of a smoking

gun standard.

So you know, we have in our criminal justice system the standard of beyond a reasonable

doubt.

But this is a much higher standard.

So nothing is really discussed in terms of U.S. intervention unless it's really a smoking

gun, where they're caught red-handed in a way that nobody could deny.

And that almost never happens.

So in Venezuela, for example, in 2002 when you had the coup, you had State Department

and CIA documents which documented the involvement of the United States.

They helped fund and train the people who did the coup, and they made statements following

the coup that they knew were false in order to help the coup consolidate itself, and they

failed in that case.

But you know, in Haiti in 2004, which I hadn't even mentioned, they took the president and

put him on a rendition plane, and flew him out of the country.

That was in broad daylight.

But in any case, they have a story that's not at all believable, and the press kind

of accepts that and never looks back.

Whenever they mentioned, you know, Chavez complained about the coup, and it was a major

obvious source of bad relations with Venezuela, but they always just reported it as an allegation

of a figure that they of course were discrediting at every turn.

So that's kind of how they report all of these.

When they report the facts at all, they put it in the context that makes it look like

there wasn't any intent, or any real effect of U.S. policy in the region.

But mostly it's like reporting on Ukraine and never mentioning Russia, you know, it's

as if the United States doesn't have any real influence in the Americas, and of course anybody

knows they have an enormous influence.

GREG WILPERT: So what would you say are some of the implications for the foreseeable future

of this U.S. policy towards Latin America?

MARK WEISBROT: Well, right now, of course, they're still involved.

And you have intervention in Mexico, for example.

U.S. officials have already said how worried they are that AMLO, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador,

who is the frontrunner in the upcoming election in July.

And he's probably going to win, but they're already trying to undermine him, lobbying

accusations of Russia involvement, which is the new trend.

Of course, completely unsubstantiated.

In Venezuela they're doing something probably never done in the last 50 years, openly calling

for a military coup, and actually a financial embargo they've put in place, and threatening

even a worse embargo if they don't get rid of the current government.

So that's, I think, a more aggressive form of intervention than you had even under the

prior administrations.

And they're pretty open about it.

And again, most of the media seems to treat it as a non-issue.

In fact, that's actually a very important example, because there's an election going

to take place in a couple of weeks, and the media is pretending that it's not really an

election.

But you have a credible opposition candidate who's leading in the polls, and they've reached

agreement with the government on a set of procedures which are similar to almost all

the other elections they've had for hte last 20 years, and a set of guarantees, which of

course, the candidate Falcon won't recognize the election if they don't follow them.

So you have a real contested election, but the U.S. government has decided they don't

want that, and the hard-right opposition is in line with them, and so they're all pretending

there's no election at all, because they're committed to a strategy of violence, of regime

change.

GREG WILPERT: OK.

We'll certainly continue to follow this, especially the U.S. role in Latin America.

I was speaking to Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.

Thanks again, Mark, for joining us today.

MARK WEISBROT: Thank you, Gregory.

GREG WILPERT: And thank you for joining the Real News Network.

US Navy Announces Resurrection of Second Fleet As Russia Tensions Linger - Duration: 3:38.

US Navy Announces Resurrection of Second Fleet As Russia Tensions Linger

The United States Navy will re-establish the Second Fleet to oversee Naval forces in the

northern Atlantic Ocean as part of its new military strategy aimed at countering Russia.

"Our National Defense Strategy makes clear that we're back in an era of great power

competition as the security environment continues to grow more challenging and complex," Chief

of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson announced Friday, according to the BBC.

"That's why today, we're standing up Second Fleet to address these changes, particularly

in the north Atlantic," he said.Richardson announced the return of the combat organization

that oversaw naval forces in the North Atlantic throughout the Cold War while he was on board

the USS George H. W. Bush in Norfolk, Virginia.

"Second Fleet will exercise operational and administrative authorities over assigned

ships, aircraft and landing forces on the East Coast and northern Atlantic Ocean,"

Richardson said, according to Reuters.The Second Fleet will also oversee maritime, joint

and combined operations and training for those operations.Who will command the fleet and

which naval assets have been assigned have not yet been announced.

Initial accounts said the fleet will be staffed with 15 people to start.

Also on Friday, the Pentagon said it has offered to host a proposed NATO Joint Force Command

at Norfolk.NATO is refocusing on the Atlantic in recognition of the great power competition

prompted by a resurgent Russia," said Pentagon spokesman Johnny Michael, according to CNN.

The Second Fleet was disbanded in 2011, during the Obama administration, as a means to reduce

costs. At its peak, the Second Fleet was made up of 126 ships, 4,500 aircraft and 90,000

personnel.However, when Defense Secretary James Mattis presented the nation's new

strategy, which sets the stage for all policy decisions, he said China and Russia were "revisionist

powers" that "seek to create a world consistent with their authoritarian models."

"The re-establishment of the US Second Fleet is part of a wider strategy of re-orientating

the U.S. armed forces towards a world of renewed big power competition and away from the counter-insurgency

campaigns they have been fighting over recent decades," noted Jonathan Marcus, a defense

and diplomatic correspondent for the BBC.In this case, the focus is Russia — a response

to its stepped-up naval activity of recent years. The new headquarters will give more

coherent command arrangements for U.S. warships operating in the Atlantic," he said.

Administration officials have voiced concerns over a more bellicose Russian attitude toward

naval power in the Atlantic.

"They have launched a new submarine that I can safely say is closing the gap on some

of our technologies," Navy Secretary Richard Spencer told Congress last month. "But,

we are hard at work, also, to make sure that gap does not close and that the rate of the

gap does not increase."

Deep State Patriot Reveals Contents of House Intelligence Committ - Duration: 12:01.

Deep State Patriot Reveals Contents of House Intelligence Committee Memo Evidence of Plan

to End the United States – Explains Why Schumer Shut it Down!

QAnon is reputed to be a patriot with extensive evidence of the Deep State's war on President

Trump.

He took to the Internet yesterday to reveal what will be revealed either directly in the

House's Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence memo or as a result of the investigation that

will result from it..

QAnon's post requires some explanation but it makes clear that the information detailed

in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is going to blow the lid off

the treasonous intent of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama Obama, the highest levels of

his administration, and the entire Democratic Party.

QAnon's Internet post yesterday exposes all of they key points in their plot to take

down the United States.

QAnon begins by asking "Does Sessions have the courage to bring criminal investigations

against Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, as well as criminal elements in the DNC, the

FBI, and the DOJ?"

He says that if Sessions lacks the nerve after the "Nunes Memo" has been made public,

President Trump will be forced to replace him as Attorney General.

He then confirms that the memo is so damning that the entire Russian collusion narrative

will be blown out of the water and that the result will:

Have Sessions reinstated with full authority including over the Russia probe.

Provide undeniable evidence of collusion between the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton's

campaign and the DNC.

Provide undeniable evidence that Obama administration appointees John Brennan (CIA), James Clapper

(DNI), Susan Rice (NSA), James Comey (FBI), and Loretta Lynch (Attorney General) along

with many underlings conspired to create a false sense that Donald Trump a Russian plant.

Reveal absolute proof that the Obama administration knowingly provided a FISA court with false

documentation to obtain the warrant that illegally authorized surveillance of the Trump campaign.

QAnon says their brazen disregard for the law was based on their belief that Hillary

was a slam-dunk to be elected and that they would never be held accountable.

The Deep State patriot then outlines the Obama-Clinton 16-year plan to destroy America.

Nothing QAnon posted contradicts a briefing I sat through during Obama's first term

discussing some of the very same issues.

The plan called for a complete infiltration of rogue elements, including Muslim Brotherhood

operatives – elected and appointed – throughout every level of government.

The multi-point plan called for:

Leaking intelligence – especially military intelligence regarding assets and methods.

Cutting and gutting the military.

Cut spending and deplete and degrade military assets through endless and unwinnable (because

of strategy and rules of engagement) war.

Obama left the military at pre-WWI levels of preparedness when he left the White House

at the same time we were fighting on multiple fronts.

NOW CHUCK SCHUMER HAS CUT OFF ALL MILITARY SPENDING!

Purging qualified Generals to strengthen civilian command over military decisions within the

White House.

Placing Chief of Staff Valerie Jarrett in charge of determining any "Good Guys"

either in the military, among elected Republicans, or within the permanent bureaucracy, and find

a way to have them removed.

Compromising all Special Asset Program (SAP) highly sensitive intelligence protocols and

SAP actors (spies) worldwide as Clinton did with her private server that she maintained

with Obama's approval.

Edward Snowden providing open source access to highly sensitive information that has proven

catastrophic to our military.

Obama ordered the targeting of Conservatives both inside and outside of the federal bureaucracy.

From the IRS targeting Conservatives and Libertarians to reinstating Project Mockingbird funding

of leftists journalists, authors, and the MSM, to Net Neutrality rules that provided

Internet edge providers with the power to censor conservative content.

The Obama administration allowed the Internet giant edge providers to dominate the Internet

content and revenue (space advertising) without fear of DOJ or Federal Trade Commission anti-trust

lawsuits.

Flood the United States with illegals to insure the Dems' voting base grew larger.

Maintaining a hands-off approach to North Korea's developing nuclear weapons program.

Funding the development of Iran's nuclear capabilities while arming and subsidizing

their minion terrorist wing ISIS.

Instilling uncertainty in the US population by targeting conservative and libertarian

leaders and media for removal while promoting hard-left Marxist groups like Black Lives

Matter and Antifa to create fear.

Strangle the economy through massive regulation, high taxes, and outsourcing jobs and manufacturing.

Clinton was going to continue leading the American decline using the same plan that

Obama had implemented but with her eye on unfinished business:

Overturn the Bill of Rights either by packing the Supreme Court with Marxist sympathizers,

using the judicial appointments already in place to stifle court actions – like we're

witnessing now with Trump's immigration Executive Orders – through legislative action

or by unchallenged and unconstitutional Executive Decree similar to how Obama established DACA.

This would include: Banning personal firearm sales.

Ending Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful search and seizure

Forever ending the Tenth Amendment that protects the rights of the states and individuals.

Ending the Electoral College so that sanctuary states would determine the president

Finally from a March 13, 2013 HRC intercept; throw Black voters – who they kept "starving",

"blind" and "stupid" all of these years – overboard.

Dr. Jerome Corsi, a terrific investigative reporter provides greater details here:

Qanon Decode Four Posts Sunday Jan 21 2018 Will Sessions Drop the Hammer Vers 17.0 Jan

21 2018 by Jerome Corsi on Scribd

Any one or even two of these points could be chalked up to a miscalculation by the Obama

administration but the totality of all of these policy decisions is roadmap that points

to TREASON.

That means that every Democrat – because not a single one raised any red flags along

the way – was complicit in TREASON.

It doesn't end there.

Where were the Republicans who sat in the majority and did nothing but pay lip service

to us?

Remember, without a scintilla of evidence of wrongdoing the Democrats are committed

to impeaching President Trump if they gain control of the House.

Either Republicans shirked their Constitutional mandate or they are too stupid to recognize

a pattern of TREASON right under their collective noses.

In any event it's time

to clean Congress' house.

THE U S DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS ANNOUNCED THAT HE WILL BE PURSUING CHARGES OF TREASON AGAIN - Duration: 14:50.

THE U.S DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS ANNOUNCED THAT HE WILL BE PURSUING CHARGES OF TREASON AGAINST

THE FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA..

Trump administration to charge Barack Obama with treason saying that "no one is above

the law".

When Trump sworn in a US President, he signed an executive order, that reversed a previous

order signed by Barack Obama just days before he left office that removed Dana Boente from

his position behind the Attorney General as second in line.

Dana Boente was bumped down the power scale without explanation from Obama, but with his

renewed authority, he now says he will bring charges against any liberals or Democrats

that are working to undermine the president.

It's widely believed that Obama, along with Hillary Clinton, is working with the Deep

State in a bid to overthrow Trump's presidency by inciting riots across America which Boente

considers to be an act of domestic terrorism.

According to a recent report by the New York Post, the former president has vowed to fight

his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency and Obama will command

an army of agitators from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.

CDTZT REPORTS : WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA IMMEDIATELY UPON LEAVING OFFICE ESTABLISHING A PRIVATE

WEBSITE AND PROCLAIMING ON IT THAT "I WON'T STOP; IN FACT, I WILL BE RIGHT THERE WITH

YOU, AS A CITIZEN, FOR ALL MY DAYS THAT REMAIN."

IT'S OBVIOUS TO EVEN LAYMEN TO DEDUCE THAT "THE BERKELEY RIOTS MAY HAVE BEEN ORDERED

BY PRESIDENT OBAMA HIMSELF."

THERE IS ENOUGH EVIDENCE FOR THE FBI TO IMPLICATE OBAMA FOR SEDITION AND TREASON BUT BEHIND

THE SCENES, THERE IS FIERCE DEBATE OVER THE FALLOUT INCLUDING WORRYING ABOUT TRAITORS

AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT IF ACTION WAS TAKEN AGAINST THE AGITATOR IN CHIEF.

Many concerns have been raised due to his gathering around him an "army of agitators"

(numbering more than 30,000) who he commands from a bunker less than two blocks from the

White House."Barack Obama, who many claim will be creating a shadow government to frustrate

the policy goals of this administration, we're looking at something that's coming very

close to, it seems to me, sedition," Lou Dobbs revealed.

Slavery Scenarios Infect U.S. Schools | The Daily Show - Duration: 4:47.

I know we've all been disappointed by Kanye West.

But it turns out, he's not the only one

who doesn't seem to understand slavery in America.

A recent online survey found that only eight percent

of American high school seniors

could identify slavery as the central cause of the Civil War.

Yeah. And even worse,

ten percent say the winner of the Civil War

was Captain America.

That's scary.

And this seems like an insane statistic,

but when you see how some schools try

and teach slavery, you'll understand why.

A homework assignment given out this week at a charter school

in San Antonio has set off an uproar.

The students were instructed to make a list

of the negative and positive aspects of slavery.

REPORTER: This is the paper Robert Livar's eighth grade son

was given to fill out in history class.

You can see his son wrote "not applicable"

on the side labeled "positive aspects"

-and wrote a long list of negative aspects. -(applause)

Robert says there's no excuse for this assignment.

Okay, first of all, that kid gets an "A" for life.

-That was amazing. -(cheering and applause)

'Cause that-that assignment is horrible.

Like, that assignment is so bad,

it almost seems like a trap to find the racist kids in class.

Like, "Okay, kids, what were the positive aspects of slavery?"

"I know! Cheap labor!" "Trick question.

Go to detention, you little Grand Wizard!"

And it gets worse. It gets worse.

Because these insane lessons on slavery

have spread into other subjects somehow.

Gwinnett County parents are outraged tonight

over third grade math homework.

It referenced slaves picking fruit and violence.

REPORTER: One problem said, "Each tree had 56 oranges.

"If eight slaves picked them equally,

then how much would each slave pick?"

Then there was another. "If Frederick got two beatings

"per day, how many beatings did he get

-in one week?" -(gasping)

Okay, okay, first of all--

two beatings times seven-- that's 14 beatings.

But, secondly,

slavery is too serious

to just casually drop into math problems.

A-And, by the way, I'm not just worried

about how inappropriate those questions are.

I'm worried about how it's escalated.

Like, first, it's just picking oranges.

Next, it's beatings. You know?

If the next question starts out with,

"Eight men in white robes show up to Frederick's house,"

run!

So, look, obviously, these assignments

aren't treating slavery with the weight it deserves.

But it turns out some teachers go too far

in the opposite direction.

A Bronx teacher landing in hot water

for what she allegedly did to children

during an assignment on the slave trade.

REPORTER: She singled out black students,

told them to lie on the floor,

and stepped on their backs to show them

"how it is to be a slave."

REPORTER 2: A controversial lesson about slavery

has been pulled from a Cerritos high school.

REPORTER 3: A mother complained recently

after getting this e-mail.

Staff would act as slave ship captains,

the e-mail described, and the children slaves.

They'd use masking tape to tie their wrists together,

make them lay on the ground,

and, in a dark room, have them watch a clip

from the film Roots.

What the (bleep), people?

Imagine how confusing that is for a child.

'Cause, on the one hand, getting tied up is terrifying.

On the other hand, getting to watch a movie in school

is sweet as hell.

Like, if you asked eight-year-old Trevor

to get an ass-whupping to watch Jurassic Park

in science class, I'm taking that beating.

It's not right. And you have to admit,

that lesson was historically accurate, I guess, you know?

Slave captains did tie up Africans,

load them on boats, and then had a movie night.

The Africans were like, "Move your chains.

"I can't see the screen. This is my favorite part, huh?

Nobody puts Baby in a corner. Ha-ha-ha-ha."

And, look, I know, I know some people say,

"Trevor, no, the-these teachers are just...

they're just trying to be creative in how they teach."

And I-I get that. I get that.

But here's my question:

how come teachers only seem to get creative like this

with slavery? Right?

It doesn't happen with any other historical subject.

Like, they-they're never like, "Hey, Connor,

"because you're Irish, I'm gonna take away your lunch

so you can learn about the Potato Famine."

They never say that.

And then, also, this thing of, like,

justifying bad things in-in history.

You know, you never hear of teachers asking kids

to write an essay on why the iceberg

was good for the Titanic

or asking for three reasons why those people deserved

to be eaten by Jeffrey Dahmer.

Like, all I'm saying is,

if you're gonna teach slavery that way, teach it all the way.

Or, at the very least, if you're gonna teach slavery this way,

end the lesson on a high note. You know?

If you tie the kids up and make them watch Roots,

then, afterwards, they get to watch Django Unchained

and whup the teacher's ass.

N. Korea-U.S. summit likely to be held in Singapore in June - Duration: 2:15.

The date and location of the historic summit between North Korea and the United States

are finally set, but they haven't been officially announced.

Local media outlets in South Korea are speculating that it's likely to take place in June rather

than in May... and in Singapore and not in the the truce village of Panmunjom ... where

the inter-Korean summit took place.

Meanwhile, North Korea's foreign ministry sent a warning to Washington to stop its sanctions

and military threats against the regime.

Cha Sang-mi reports.

Reports say the first ever meeting between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean

leader is likely to take place in June in Singapore.

Citing multiple diplomatic sources in Washington, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported

Sunday that Singapore is the strongest candidate to host the Pyongyang-Washington summit...

despite President Trump expressing a preference for meeting in the demilitarized zone at the

so-called truce village of Panmunjom -- the place where the inter-Korean summit took place

less than ten days ago.

The report added that while the exact timing is still not clear, it seems to have been

pushed back to early June... before Trump visits Canada for the G-7 summit on June 8th

and 9th.

This comes after President Trump said both on Friday and Saturday that the date and location

of his summit with Kim Jong-un have been set, though he has still not said when or where.

The White House has announced that Trump will host his South Korean counterpart, President

Moon Jae-in, at the White House on May 22nd... before the North Korea summit.

It said they will "continue their close coordination on developments regarding the Korean Peninsula."

Meanwhile, in an interview with North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency, the

regime's foreign ministry spokesperson said on Sunday that the United States is keeping

up its sanctions and pressure on the regime in the name of human rights, as well as threatening

it militarily.

The spokesperson said Washington was mistaking what he called North Korea's "peace-loving

gesture" in coming to talks as "weakness," and said continuing to threaten and put pressure

on the regime would not solve any problems.

This is the first time North Korea has officially criticized the U.S. since the two sides decided

to hold talks.

US Scientists Flee To France To 'Make Our Planet Great Again' - Duration: 6:03.

MACRON CONTINUES TO

STRIVE TO MAKE OUR PLANET GREAT AGAIN.

AND SCIENTISTS ARE

FLEEING TO FRANCE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

6 OF THE 14 SCIENTISTS

ELECTED FROM MACRON'S INITIATIVE ARE FROM THE US AND

WILL EACH RECEIVE AT LEAST $600,000 TO RESEARCH VARIOUS

DIFFERENCE CLIMATE PROJECTS.

YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK HERE I MACRON SPEAKING ABOUT THE

INITIATIVE AND MAYBE SOME REASON AS TO WHY DECIDED TO LAUNCH IT.

I CALLED THEM, COME AND WORK HERE WITH US.

I REAFFIRM

CLEARLY THAT THE FIRST AGREEMENT REMAINS IRREVERSIBLE AND WILL BE

IMPLEMENTED.

NOT JUST BY FRANCE, BUT BY ALL OF THE OTHER NATIONS.

WE WILL SUCCEED.

BECAUSE WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED.

BECAUSE

WHEREVER WE LIVE, WHOEVER WE ARE, WE ALL SHARE THE SAME

RESPONSIBILITY.

MAKE OUR PLANET GREAT AGAIN.

THAT IS A BROADSIDE AT TRUMP.

I THINK IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH TRUMP PULLING OUT OF THE

PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENTS AND THAT CHEEKY NAME MAKES IT PRETTY

OBVIOUS THAT HE IS RESPONDING HERE TO POLICIES THAT HE

DISAGREES WITH.

I SHOULD SAY THAT THIS WAS LAUNCHED BACK IN

DECEMBER AND THERE WERE 18 SCIENTISTS ELECTED THEN, 13 OF

THOSE SCIENTISTS WERE ALSO AMERICAN SO THIS I THINK IS

GREAT IN THAT WE HAVE COUNTRIES THAT ARE SUPPORTING CLIMATE

RESEARCH AND ARE LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE TO PROTECT OUR

PLANET, BUT I AM REALLY SAD TO SAY THAT I THINK FOR THE US IT

MEANS WE ARE EXPERIENCING A BRAIN DRAIN.

WE HAVE SCIENTISTS

WHO NO LONGER ABLE TO EASILY GET GRANTS AND FUNDING FOR THEIR

RESEARCH.

THEY ARE NOT BEING BACKED BY CURRENT POLICIES IN

THE GOVERNMENT AND THERE ARE OTHER POLICIES THAT ARE ALSO

KEEPING PEOPLE FROM DOING RESEARCH HERE IN THE US.

THERE

IS A LOT OF IMMIGRATION POLICIES THAT REQUIRE THAT AFTER PEOPLE

GET A GREAT AMERICAN EDUCATION HERE AT SOME OF OUR TOP

UNIVERSITIES, THEY ARE THEN ASKED TO GO BACK TO THEIR HOME

COUNTRIES AND NOT ALLOWED TO STAY AND GIVE BACK ONCE THEY

HAVE COMPLETED THEIR DEGREE, SO IT IS GREAT THAT IT IS

HAPPENING SOMEWHERE AND I AM HAPPY IT IS HAPPENING IN FRANCE.

I WISH IT WERE HAPPENING HERE HOME AS WELL.

IT IS GREAT THAT IT IS HAPPENING SOMEWHERE AND IT IS

GREAT THAT HE IS UNDERSCORING THE WAY HE IS THAT IT IS NOT

HAPPENING HERE.

HE IS ADDRESSING AN AMERICAN AUDIENCE.

I THINK IN PART HE IS SPEAKING ENGLISH AND BY THE WAY, I ALWAYS

THOUGHT THE BRITISH ACCENT WAS THE BEST WAY TO SPEAK ENGLISH,

BUT NOW I THINK THAT FRENCH ACCENT HISTORY POWERFUL 2.

HE

IS QUITE COMPELLING IN HIS REMARKS.

OF COURSE, YOU ARE

RIGHT.

THERE IS A BRAIN DRAIN.

MORE AND MORE SCIENTISTS ARE

FINDING THERE IS NO FEDERAL FUNDING HERE.

THEY'RE HAVING TO

GO OVERSEAS.

YOU SAW A BUNCH OF SCIENTISTS LEAD THE EPA.

YOU HAVE SEEN SCIENTISTS LEAD THE CDC.

THESE ARE ORGANIZATIONS THAT AREN'T SUPPORTING

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ANY LONGER SO SCIENTISTS AND MINDS THAT ARE

ASSOCIATED WITH SO MUCH RESEARCH OR HAVING TO GO ELSEWHERE.

YEAH, IT IS ALSO, I WANT TO HIT THE POINT.

IT IS OUR

IMMIGRATION POLICIES THAT ARE PREVENTING PEOPLE WHO ARE

TRAINED IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHO BEFORE USED TO COME HERE AND BE

PART OF THE RESEARCH AROUND CLIMATE CHANGE, IN THE SCIENCES

AS WELL.

TO BE HONEST, THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS OUTSIDE OF

THIS COUNTRY WHO ARE TRAINED AROUND THE SCIENTISTS MUCH

BETTER THAN WE ARE BECAUSE THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL GOVERNMENT

FUNDING SO THERE IS THAT ALSO.

IT IS NOT JUST THE IMPULSE TO GO

TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, BUT WHO IS COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY AS WELL.

WE ARE BANNING THAT AND OF COURSE THERE IS THE MUSLIM

BANDAS WELL, THE GREAT PREVENTATIVE AROUND THAT.

I

LOVE TO HEAR THIS FROM FRANCE, EXCEPT, WELL YOU GOT A LIE.

HE

SAYS FRANCE HAS ALWAYS LED FIGHTS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

CLUSTER AT THE SAME TIME YOU ARE COLONIZING WEST AFRICA.

PLEASE, JUST TELLS WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

DON'T HAD ON THAT LAYER OF PATRIOTISM WHICH IS

UNNECESSARY BECAUSE THE FRENCH ARE REALLY OBSESSED WITH

BEING CULTURAL HEROES.

MAYBE HE FEELS LIKE A, I AM SPENDING MORE THAN HALF 1

MILLION PER RESEARCHER HERE.

I CAN THROW IN SOME MARKETING FOR MY COUNTRY.

YEAH, BUT THERE IS ALSO PROBABLY OMISSIONS ISSUES THAT

THEY HAS TO DEAL WITH INTERNALLY.

THIS IS A WHOLE

TYPE OF CONVERSATION AND I AM NOT CRAZY ABOUT MAKE OUR PLANET

GREAT AGAIN EITHER BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

WAS A LINE THAT STRANGELY ENOUGH CAME FROM A KNOCK TODAY VIA

LETTER NOVEL AND WAS THE SLOGAN FOR A FASCIST LEADER.

RONALD REAGAN USED IT FIRST TO DUCK.

THAT IS RIGHT.

SHE DID TAKE IT FROM THAT.

BUT YEAH, YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN.

I THOUGHT HE WAS SKEWERING TRUMP WITHOUT LINE.

THAT WAS THE REASON HE USED IT.

I THINK SLOGANS LIKE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, MAKE OUR

PLANET GREAT AGAIN, THEY GATHER DIFFERENT ITERATIONS AND HAVE

DIFFERENT MEANINGS.

WE NEED TO PUT THEM IN CONTEXT.

I THINK

WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT HERE IS THAT HE IS TAKING A SLOGAN THAT

MEANS ALMOST EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF ITS ORIGINAL MEANING

AND RE-APPROPRIATING AIDING IS SAYING, LET'S NOT FOCUS ON

WHO WE ARE AS A COUNTRY AND BE BLINDED TO THE REST OF THE

WORLD, BUT TAKE A MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH TO POLICY AND

THINK ABOUT OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEING, NOT JUST OUR FELLOW

CITIZENS.

US lashes out at China over 'THREATENING' letters - 'It is ORWELLIAN nonsense!' - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:40.

US lashes out at China over 'THREATENING' letters - 'It is ORWELLIAN nonsense!'

CHINA has been blasted over claims of "threatening and coercing" US naval carriers and their

operatives as tensions between the two power countries continues to escalate.

The White House issued a statement slamming a letter the Chinese Civil Aviation Administration

was understood to have sent to the US and 36 foreign air carriers and demanding a number

of changes to them are made.

The carriers were ordered to remove references on websites or in other material that suggests

Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau are part of countries independent from China, according to US officials.

Taiwan is China's most sensitive territorial issue, with China considering the self-ruled,

democratic island a loose cannon in terms of its providence with former European colonies

Hong Kong and Macau now part of China but running separately.

The Pentagon said in the statement: "The United States strongly objects to China's

attempts to compel private firms to use specific language of a political nature in their publicly

available content.

"We call on China to stop threatening and coercing American carriers and citizens.

They added US President Donald Trump "will stand up for Americans resisting efforts by

the Chinese Communist Party to impose Chinese political correctness on American companies

and citizens", before dubbing the situation "Orwellian nonsense".

A spokesman for Airlines for America, a trade group representing United Airlines, American

Airlines and other major carriers, confirmed they had received the demand

They added: "We are continuing to work with U.S. government officials as we determine

next steps."

The spat comes in the wake of a separate row that saw the US heavily criticising China

over accusations they blasted American pilots with lasers in a sinister campaign of harassment.

On Friday, Pentagon officials slapped the Chinese with a formal complaint, demanding

Beijing stamp out supposed military-grade laser attacks on US forces in the skies above

Djibouti.

The allegations, including a claim that two pilots suffered eye injuries in one attack

over the east African base, triggered swift denials with China's defence ministry which

said the States have been "in complete contradiction of the facts".

The military argument between the two powerful countries is one of the most significant outside

the South China Sea and the most serious in Africa and centres around Djibouti allowing

China to build its first military base within 18 miles of Camp Lemonnier.

The Camp is home to 4,000 US military personnel and the headquarters of US Africa Command

in a move that infuriated the US, sparking fears from Washington that the Chinese were

conjuring plans to escalate surveillance operations of US counterterrorism operations in Somalia

and Yemen.

But these fears were ignored by China when they invested a massive £1billion to upgrade

Djibouti's ports and airport.

Mr Trump recently tweeted to his 51.5million followers: "It is hard for China in that

they have become very spoiled with US trade wins!"

In January, China demanded an apology from major American airline Delta for listing Taiwan

and Tibet as countries on its website.
