Slash appeal: the offer ends, may thirteen twenty three and me dotcom, slash apparel, go check them out right now, twenty three and me dot com, Slash Shapiro, Ok, so we begin today with the media's attempts to continue to paint the Trump administration as engaged in some sort of cover up last night. James. Call me appeared on CNN and appearing on CNN. He was asked basically to rip everyone inside the Trump administration to talk about evil. The trunk administration was to talk about President Trump obstructed. Just now. James call me has a dog in this fight. Hey James call me was

firing led off the entire obstruction of justice debacle, it was genes call me firing which, by the way, was perfectly appropriate she'd been fired as soon as president trumpet took office? Frankly, Obama should and fired him after he did that press conference about Hillary Clinton back in July of twenty sixteen, but James call me was fired for cause. It was bad and his job. It was politically motivated. His politics were all about preserving his picture of the FBI as an institution, but from fired him and then from basically said that you fired and began does call me wouldn't say publicly. The trump wasn't under investigation, which was true, tromp was not under investigation. Call me wouldn't say it explained a trump. Why wouldn't set from got frustrated from five and then from point a national tv and said. I guess this Russia stuff is done because now we can openly say I'm not under investigation. That's what treatment! James call me and there s an media took that mean from fired, call me in order to stymied Inga

negation? Now, as we know, the investigation was not stymied. We keep hearing, there's been a cover up, there's been obstruction. We keep hearing that president from his involving himself in the nitty gritty details of the Mulder report of the investigation in an attempt to prevent public knowledge of the nefarious activities in which he participated. I've seen not a lot evidence and at the fact is. We are all privy to the Mulder report. The fact, as Robert Miller, world gems calmly was fired in the middle of twenty seventeen. It is another matter twenty nineteen. It is two years later. That is one got the Mulder report so for two full year Robert mother had access to pretty much everyone inside the Trump administration. To me, billions of documents to grand jury testimony. So the idea that James call me firing represented some sort of obstruction of justice is simply absurd. But call me: is there invested in that narrative because otherwise got fired for being crappy at his job and that James call me can't accept You ve been going around for the last couple of years, taking taking aspirational pictures of himself in great places of nature, looking up at the forest, looking town

the ocean and then pondering rifle now. He's back on CNN is being brought back forth by the media to explain Exactly why it is that President Trump is a very, very bad, cruel bad orange man. So here is call me explaining the Trump obstructed justice according to James combing out, explain how absurd this isn't. Just a second there. Now, what did so? I think it's up to eight hundred former federal prosecutors and workable republican and democratic straightens, who have signed a statement saying that mothers findings would have produced obstruction charges against President Trump. If you weren't president, do great yeah, I got no doubt no doubt again, there's ten different episodes. I actually think the ones that would be most likely charged are not necessarily the ones that involved me. For particular this Mcgann owed and another episode where he was trying to get the attorney general to limit the investigation only to future elections are examples that any reasonable prosecutor would charge. Ok cell.

That is, that is really an amazing statement by James coming. Other reason, and amazing statement is because the reason that trunk could not be charged with obstruction of justice is because extra obstruction of justice is in fact, a crime that requires intent. It's a crime that requires you to intend to obstruct justice. You want to stop the investor, nation, because you think it's going to uncover something in the absence of an underlying crime is very difficult to obstruct justice. Because what exactly what you're intent be. Just because your annoyed it doesn't really meet the intense poor. And which is why, when we in bar explain why he had not decided to indict Trump and obstruction of justice. She pointed to two factors: one trumps, mental state and too the fact that there was no underlying collusion from to cover up a doubt that was William Bars taken. That is corrected James COM. You saying is entirely wrong. Trump had the requisite intent. Ok, question: it was James call me I

member who said about Hillary Clinton that Hillary Clinton was not guilty of violating rules about classified material because she did not have the requisite intent you nowhere? Intense is not an element of the crime when it comes. Material, you do classified material. You do not have to intend to expose real to prying eyes. You do not have Do you intend to do anything wrong? It is a strict liability crime if you take classified materials and you put them in public view, you are guilty of the crime. James commie per similarly wrote intense into a war they had no intent and now he's running. Turns out of a law to castigate president from which does damage affair, but a political bias on the part of guy who proclaims that he is a wonderful law enforcement officer without any by

James COM. You went on to explain that the delegation actually charge president from one. He is no longer president. I think you should be charged when he's out of office. I think they somewhat mowers shown, I think, the Justice Department. I take a serious look at that, whether it's a wise thing to do to a former president. I don't know that's harder question, a much bigger question and the facts of the case. But do you think the evidence is there to to prosecute sure? Looks like it's there with respect to at least a couple of those episodes of instruction is out there the idea that he is going to now push forward at from should be prosecuted. One is no longer president. What again you know who could have made that call you know could have said that Robert or could have said that a robber mother had every capacities that wasn't according to the the OJ rules. According to the often legal counsel, it is unlikely that you can prosecute the president's on his chest However, I would recommend an obstruction charge against the president. Were it not for these or else

rules, meaning that he should be prosecuted. One is no longer president Robber moniker said that in every ability to say that he did not say that. Why not, because we want to amend, is pretty clear that his team wanted. You get Trump, it's pretty team, pretty obvious esteem thought the trumpeted immoral bad stuff. That's the entire volume two of the report, but the fact that that mother didn't do it is somewhat telling it. Here's what s really going on Jim's call me is mad because he got five effectively admits is much too Anderson Cooper. You an FBI bureau, I think in LOS angeles- and you actually saw it- on CNN that you had been fired and wondering two years late, with all that happened. How do you look back on that moment I was numb because I didn't expect to be fired. I was action, in a room about the size talking to custodial stay employees about the importance of the FBI's mission. I looked over their heads and saw first Call me resigns, which I thought was probably a prank and then it said calmly fired and unnoticed.

Some strange but didn't expect to be fired, never entered my mind. I knew by that point the present didn't like me, but I thought that's ok, because that will keep us separation, so it's still feels a little bit numbing frankly, it's numbing! It's hurry! It there's a lot of emotion in James Combeferre, bagel, pretends that he is just motivated that he has just motivated specifically by all of this that he's motivated specifically by desire to enforce the law. Now hilariously commie was asked about the F B. I am his auspices two of his top agents or Peter struck and LISA page there having an affair of one another struck was personally heading up, but the Hilary investigation, as well as the Trump investigation, and comments I yeah they may have made us look bad. You know what the whole texting each other and talking about how much they hated Trump and then Peter Shrug monopoly. Leading the investigation. The timing of the investigation- that's not according to me, it's out accordingly, Trump. That's. According to the inspector general of Theo J, Michael Horowitz, who found that, ironically, that struck had actually put

me, Hilary investigation on the back burner in favour of the Trump investigation and The irony comes in in that, because he put the Hitler investigation on the back the investigation only started to look at whom abstinence computer like a week before the election, and if he had not done that Then they probably uncover that a month earlier and they take care. A month earlier and Heller has better not a winning. The election here has come We admitted yeah, you know I was running FBI by my tap agents. Divinest, look real bad! You knowledge that this whole episode was struck in in page that it damages the reputation of the FBI and perhaps tarnish the investigation, definitely very painful. It was important that it be investigated and important that there be disciplined. It follows that we have made us all look bad Peter struck as a very talented agent. It's a personal, actually for him. But as much as I care about individuals, I care by the institution more. It hurt the institution. Ok, south What else hurt the institution you overseeing all of that year

we're seeing all of that hurt the institution. So the fact that gems me still being trotted out as some sort of authority on this stuff does demonstrate that the media are pretty biased on this sort of thing I mean they could be asking James call me all the same questions that I'm asking. What is your evidence that Donald Trump had requisite intent? We know that he fired you not because you want to obstruct investigation. An investigation was not obstruct it. So what back there you talking about. Don't you have a personal stake in making this case, but they're gonna keep trade. It's amazing how you have to do to become a hero of the resistance, is stop Hillary Clinton from becoming president and then yellow President Trump Amazing, if it were not for James call me much better shot Hillary Clinton is sitting in the White House right now. Everyone for James CALL, then it's quite possible that the entire from Russia Collusion Investigation would have gone down the drain much earlier. So though, the whole thing is is pretty amazing

in just a second we're gonna get to the actual big story of the day, which is not any of the fake obstruction stuff. It's not any of the ridiculous Senate investigations or house investigate the big story, the days that we may be in full on trade war with China, which is dangerous stuff.

Ok, while the actual big story of the day is the possibility of a trade war with I now trying to set on Friday it's going to retaliate, because the United States did moved to increase tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of chinese products on Friday, effectively breaking a month. Long truce, Syria,

Leslie complicating ongoing talks according to the global times, which is a chinese publication. These ideas, we regret the? U S, actions and will have to take care of your measures. The chinese Ministry of Commerce said in his statement. After the United States started race, terrorism chinese good, following through an earlier threats by US officials, you have raised a ten percent tariff, two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese products, including electronic clothes, and twice to twenty five percent starting its while the one p M Friday Beijing time. The higher tariffs will apply to: U S bound products that if China efforts level one a m on Friday, U S time according to Reuters, setting the? U S, customs and border protection. Such a grace period was not offered in the previous three rounds of tariffs. Apparently, the government of China's statements. Do not specify what countermeasures China would take. Would implement those countermeasures, but analysed said there were several measures China could take that would inflict pain on the United States economy. The measures will be announced shortly. He Wayne when is former senior trainees trade official until the global too I think China will respond very soon. China will

also have to make good on its own words. Otherwise, it will be a huge disadvantage to the. U S seem The negotiations now one of the things that have been happening is that president from has been sending some mixed. Knows on all of us know what you want when it comes to foreign policy, particularly, is very consistent policy, As I've been saying for years, president from view of tariffs is wrong. Is you have tariffs? Is that tariffs make Amerika richer? If all we did was raised trade barriers on imports of? from other countries, we would actually be bringing manufacturing home and the american people would be more prosperous and richer manufacturing would return to America Shores. Historically, this is now a tariffs is done. Historically, were terrorists have done. Is debt is decimate your capacity to compete on a global level led to out sourcing by companies, job loss and stagnation in the country in which the tariffs, are applied, that's because Glasgow up, but we are all much producers, we're all consumers, what tariffs Jews they benefit a specific segment of the market at the expense of all the other consumers. So what say? You have a tariff on chinese steel.

It benefits the american steel producers, has now they no longer have to compete with the chinese deal producers, but american steel consumers, including the car companies. Those people are going to be paying higher prices that reflect onto consumers, and so is less money in your pocket. Terrorist foster political dysfunction by creating conflict between various interest groups in the United States as well. As with foreign countries. Now this does not mean the tariffs can be a useful tool of policy, and this is where it's important to understand what President Trump issuing an important for him to be distant in just a second and want to explain so. The consistent policy here should be and would be, look we don't want any there's no tariff at all. The only reason that we have tariffs right now is because China is cheating on trade and by sitting on trade we dont mean that their subsidizing particular core industries- that's not cheating! On trade, they get to do that. It's their policy, its dumb government top down policy that subsidizes certain industries at the expense of other

industries typically does not end well even for those industries, because once those companies are taken off the subsidies, they failed to be competitive and they could that the free market is great at creating durable companies that are capable of competing in a global market without subsidies. Once you start subsidized, things people become dependent on the subsidies. This is what happens. The american car companies in the nineteen, fifty and Sixtys America's Our companies used to run the world and we started subsidizing them? We have lots of tariffs against foreign imports, and America became much less competitive, visiting the rest of the world, so it is so. If other countries choose to subsidize those industries, that's not really an excuse for us to tell them what is an excuse for us to tear them is then cheating on intellectual property from, for example, the government, artistic painting and stealing american intellectual property. We ve taken these cases to the World Trade Organization. China has not been

a good actor in the World Trade Organisation with regard to paying up when they have been found guilty. Those procedures take a lot of time. So if you really want to inflict pain on China to get them to stop stealing intellectual trade property intellectual property, then that is at least understandable. The problem for president from his that he sends mixed signals. One signal is, we don't want any tariffs, but if we have to punish you, we will and the other signal that sort of Larry Como Signal. The other signal is tariff for great. So president, from today, for example, is tweeting out about how tariffs are a wonderful thing, so President Trump is is treating. Right now that, if you produce in America there'll be no tariffs re, he says he says great consumer prices it's just out, really good, very low inflation. We have a great chance to really rock good number is all around your favorite president's you're. All time favorite president says so trumpet you're all time. Favorite Doesn't it got tired of waiting for trying to help out and start buying from our farmers the great anywhere in the world, building

products in the United States- and there are no tariffs. He says if we bought fifteen billion dollars of agriculture from our farmers, far more than China by is now that we have more than eighty five billion dollars left over for new infrastructure, healthcare or anything else, China. Only slow down, and we would automatically speed up tariffs will make our country much stronger, not weaker, just sit back and watch. In the meantime, China should not renegotiate deals with the United States at the last minute. This is not your boy administration or the administration of Sleepy Joe Trying to get away with court include mega, so again. This is a signal. We want free trade, but we don't want free trade tariffs are actually good. Tariffs are actually tariff rationally. Wonderful- and this is the with- is the push that that from himself is making, and that is sending mixed signals and market, because the market is there, Ok. Well, if he is happy with the tariffs if he likes the tariffs. If all of this was an excuse to get to the terrorists, then maybe he just wants to leave those in place.

Just wants to leave those in place that could cost all of us a lot of money because Tipp, because tariffs actually as just a policy not as to leverage but as a policy, are pretty bad, this is what the UK son reports today, Donald Trump, what merely point five trillion dollars of global markets with a single twitter blast, failing to double tariffs on chinese goods after they broke a crucial trade deal that was two days ago. The US president renewed hostilities between the two economic giants by threatening to once more ramp up the cost of these Jeanne Trading in the United States, he pledged to high tariff on billion dollars in chinese food from Friday, rocking equity market across the world, and that's because equity markets have typically thought that Trump was a lot of bluster. But once these things kick in, you feeling is the Trump wants to leave them in place, not because they're good policy, but specifically because actually likes tariffs, and now he is causing all sorts of confusion again on twitter. According to bloom president from the morning after levying fresh tariffs on China, cause confusion among trade

by tweeting that there is no need to rush on China, trade, meaning; ok, maybe I'll just leave these tariffs in place for a while and the markets. When, oh boy, that's not good. Now one of the things that people have been ignoring about the fact that the markets have been quite hot to this point is that there has been a bit of interest. Patient of this in the markets, the markets where it is operating at the end of last year, the tariffs were going to kick in and so accelerated a lot of their buying from for manufacturers, and that led to an increase in the amount of spending amount of dollars flowing through the United States economy, caused a lot of imports to be bought. For example, that's why the trade deficit is actually worse, under president drop in earlier treat was deleted. Then reposted with minor changes between it out this morning, talks with China continue to very congenial manner, there's apps what we now need to rush as tariffs are

now being paid to the United States by China of twenty five percent on two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of goods and products. These massive payments go directly to the Treasury of the United States. Well, that's not really how tariffs. Work. That really is not how tariffs work. I mean tariffs only work if we buy a product, its attacks on a product, consumers feel the field the brunt of that. It's not as though China just pay the tax and then sends its products into our market and its previous price as I how any of this works heresy said again would make the United States much stronger, not weaker, just sit back and watch chain. Of course he said that it wants to retaliate. So there is a battle: inside the Trump Administration right now between the weary cud lows and between President Trump and Peter Navarro, whose one of his trade advisers on China really is not particularly good at his job, all of this is creating disquiet in the market. Again, I think that a press

in short, using trade barriers as leverage to push China to start adhering to intellectual property law. That would at least be usable, I think, are other measures that can be used, but that at least as an excuse for him to be proclaiming that terrorists are inherently goodies. Just not true. This mood Holly tariffs at the beginning of the great depression of exacerbate the great depression by leading other kind. Please to raise their tariffs as well, and all of that lead to less of an export market. For Eric and goods in higher prices for american workers. That's what tariffs effectively do it doesn't create more jobs, it doesn't create more prosperity, it creates more conflict, it creates higher prices, it creates less of an export market for competitive american goods. In a second we'll get to where things are going on, China plus conflict brewing with North Korea as well. First hiring used to be here.

and this is where the good side of of president trumps push could be. If you're, using terraces leverage point and not as natural policy. There is a case for that. Here's! What, in your time, says as chinese and american officials try to reach a trade deal. President ration ping faces a painful, possibly damaging choice, to protect his aura of incompatibility or retreat. After president from Accuse China of begging on the terms of a draft agreement and threatened race terrorists. The stakes rose sharply for the chinese later this week after Mr Trump and his chief trade represent Robert Light, Heizer publicly accused China of backing down on commitments. The sticking point up to be a late decision by Mr Gee to reject american demands that China chain was constraining american businesses when, from left onto twitter to complain, it was a public rebuke to put g in a tight spot. He is China's most powerful leader. In decades he guards images of visionary statesmen, guiding his country to greatness

China's relationship with the United States, is its most important relationship. If ties between the countries are mismanage that could damage China's economy and tarnish she's image trade talks that, just last week seemed close to fruition, have abruptly become a flash point in the rocky relations GINO faces questions at home over whether he miscalculated trumps resolve domestic rumblings could grow if the United States, forces you to make concessions or, if the talks breakdown according to Paul Henri former China directly on the National Security Council, we now runs the Carnegie Shin wide sense for global policy in Beijing quotes. E g is walking a tightrope going to be the one that has to make the most concessions, and that makes is all the more difficult for him on Thursday short shortly before the trade talks were such resume. Of course, North Korea shut off short range missiles. United states have been pushing China to get involved in If the timing of watches coincidence, perhaps that puts pressure on the United States to point out that the China needs to be a partner, we, you here China's chief negotiator, he said coming

sincerity and hope in the current special circumstances. So the reason Frank Exchange of views with the? U S side China believes that increasing tariffs won't solve problems woman. That China or the United States, nor will benefit the global economy China had been willing to protect intellectual property and open its markets to american business, but the trumpet, illustration wanted the agreement to specify that some of those changes, actually be made in chinese law. Apparently trying what want to do that they wanted to make an informal policy and trumpet saying no, you need to change our law, so that, formerly you cannot, renege on this agreement. When young is a director of the centre, for international political economy, peeking university. He said that would bring back painful memories of the days of national humiliation in our history trump, of course, doesn't care too much about that Trump is trying to push for a public concession. I guess the idea here is the trumpet if he pushed for private concession. Maybe They would do it who the hell knows whether that is true according to professor, too,

everyone must have. Everyone may have greater doubts and uncertainty about the future of the chinese economy. Chinese. U S. Relations or the global economy some certainty will certainly affect production, investment and consumption. Chinese officials are still struggling to understand the president's. According to the New York Times Centre, Chris Coon's Democrat from Delaware, said quote there. A lot of voices in Washington that are either sharply are harshly critical of China's action in trade in their military expansionism. In their actions in the South, China Sea on the black. So, as I say from being strong with, China is fine from embracing terrorist is not so fine. A question is which one Of these things is correct. What is actually happening here now- maybe maybe this works out to the tune of china- takes trumps warm rights of terrorists as more of a credible threat than they would otherwise that that trumps, team and Trump himself think if he just says tariff for wonderful, then China will back down because they don't want the terrorists the tariffs are China worse than they hurt us with. That said, as.

As a general point policy, I dont think that that is correct, obviously, and also I don't actually think you need to say that I think You can simply say them. Listen. We are reluctantly imposing these tariffs because you won't do acts but you know. Maybe this is president from selling past the sale. It's got atoms likes to say that as a positive, It is well obviously be watching this closely. It's a high risk move for president from politically speaking. The reason that it is a high risk move for President Trump is because If the terrorists continue, we will undoubtedly damage the United States economy. Is I've been talk about how much more robust the recovery would be? How much more robust the United States economy would be right now if we were not engaged in sporadic trade wars with various with various folks? It does raise the question overall, by the way as to whether, for example, the United States ever should have worked on opening trained in the first place. The case for opening China is that it would make China more. Brought more democratic. That, of course, has not happened. Of course, it's more prosperous for both

in China to have an open trade relationship that is true, regardless of who exactly is in charge with that add what would have been better in the nineteen seventy. If we didn't open China when they are on a serious trajectory toward collapse, I dunno I mean certainly possible that that is the case. You US officials say that they have more than promises to stop China from stealing intellectual property rights. This time Robert Lighthouse, there is the head of the Us Trade Association has pushed enforcement system. That gives the? U s the right to impose tariffs if it decides that China is not living up to the deal China barred from responding in kind. So if we so China wouldn't be able to do respond against us: Cleat Williams, a former senior Whitehouse Trade official, who is a whose it Aiken Dumper major law from he said we ve had these conversations with China for years. If you don't have specific commitments backed up with enforcement, you don't have anything again Mr President, from being tough with leverage for if this apparent president from embracing tariffs the way he and got level seems to do not really in

rub it. Meanwhile, chaos still breaking out on the north korean That's one. The korean peninsula overly over the course of today, the United States seized the north korean freighter that was caught shipping coal in violation of United States of you and sanctions. Rather, the Justice Department revealed on Thursday Seventeen thousand on cargo ship called the wise honest, was stopped in Indonesia last year after it was found to be carrying call the ship's captain charge for violating international law. Last July, the United States filed in action to seize the ship and final they went ahead and did that North Korea, of course, has also fired a couple of rockets this week in a major move toward me igniting a lot of the conflict between North Korea and United States. Presumably that is because the Trump administration has been moving away from cancer. Friends to the North Koreans as they should so couple away this overall over all the way to read. This could be the president from his Very tough on foreign policy and that's great the other way around this is that this is a bit chaotic that

don't actually know what is foreign policy is and that foreign actors are take. The advantage of that or acting from confusion you. I hope that it is the first.

We appreciate that you with largest faster growing conservative Pakistan radio show in the nation already so, let's, let's talk a little bit bout, the Democrats and and the Russia probes? They continue to claim that obstruction is occurring,

Firstly, the media are relying on James call me, but the Democrats just keep saying that. There's obstruction, there's obstruction of theirs obstruction. They keep pushing this. I don't think there's a lot, therefore them to grab so jury needler. Keep saying this is obstruction without any proof of destruction. Ok, tell about it. Representative Naylor, the attorney general told us repeatedly and all the Republicans Senator Mccain. And others have told us that the finding of the Mulder report It was no collusion, no obstruction. If that's true, why are they trying to hide? It is obviously not true private citizens or employees. It just body must testify for congressional or accords subpoena. It's not option, I must say I have a legal reason I too, and this so called executive privilege is, is nonsense already. Some this, of course, is untrue in other than that The idea that any obstructionist taking place has no actual evidence of this money is going to testify every aspect of this where they say, president from has obstructed the only area

where he can credibly claim the present from did not give all the information to mother is the area well, you didn't sit down with mauler, which no lawyer in their right mind would allowed from to do. This is all manufactured Anti Blowsy says she supports jury needler, however, and she things that William BAR should presumably beheld in contempt if she had the courage of our convictions should call for impeachment, but she's not doing that. We are talking about a cumulative effect of obstruction that is an administration, is engaged in and the president declaring that he is not going on any subpoenas from the Congress. So I support the path that act. Check. Our German are on, and I do believe that it will establish the case for where we go from here already self again. It is the fact that she is continuing to push. This demonstrates how dishonest all

since I I'm with President Trump when he says that this has now become a hoax and which ones are very sceptical. That sort of language, but now, at this point with the Democrats having the Mulder report in front of them and continue to maintain the stuff, I'm with president from now when when he says that this is a hoax and which are meanwhile the twenty twenty race heating up Joe Biden is moving ever to the left in an attempt to cut off Bernie Sanders. Elizabeth worn and all the rest of these sort of leftist pack of hounds were chomping at his heels, so president is also vice president, Joe Biden They don't look at how he on illegal immigration, so used to be that he thought illegal immigrants should be reported. Now he thinks illegal immigrants should get free healthcare effectively. Speaking here is Joe Biden. Now versus then on illegal immigration. Work call return to the a camper you for, everyone had a background check your reply

They have proved they draw. You like you require they have social security. Hey there, you say you, are prepared to pay for it here, is a worthy speak. English word, like everyone else here again: services you think undocumented immigrants who were in this country, by federal benefits, Medicare medicated, for example. I think that anyone who is in a situation where the League of Healthcare, regardless of whether the document we have obligation to seek ever cared for. That's why I think we need more clinics round the country funny, so it seems like he is changed his tune, just a little about what happened to they need to speak English. They need to pay their taxes, the need to pay back taxes and all of this for it pretty. May

and he is moving to the left because the entire democratic parties moving to left how far to the left Bernie Sanders is mainstream. Guy Elsie is a mainstream gal. Yesterday they sat next to each other. The amount of brain power. Or in that room man? I could toast a piece of bread lightly. If it were channels and electricity, here's Bernie Sanders and Elsie, proposing that we make banks out of the post office. Many poor people dont have access to banking services. Is the big banks are not worried about somebody who mix them bucks an hour? They can't make enough money, often it so. We have got to move towards universal banking, Through the possible system you can post offices and almost every community in America they should be available to provide basic banking services so that people do not have to go into paid. They want this Ok, so it's it's pretty em using that even people on the left understand that what

Bernie Sanders and Elsa are proposing here. Making banks out of the post offices is very, very dumb. Heaven drum has apiece piece from years ago. About all of this Kevin Drum, is a columnist for Mother Jones, which is a far left magazine and he says what exactly is the core competency that would allow the postal service to excel at banking. So they say what would make a good is that there are lots of post. You know what else there are lots of banking outlets, Lhasa, banks, like a hundred thousand across the United States,. What else would make these great for banks, trust and familiarity with the postal brand again, and not a lot of people actually trust the post office and also when, when Sanders and Elsie are talking about what exactly should happen with these small account. Small accounts do exist banks and also there are such things as as payday lenders and the biggest problem with providing very small loans from banks, is that the default rate is extraordinary. So what Elsie and Bernie Sanders really are talking about? Is the federal government subsidies,

people with another entitlement programme. They'll give loans, people who they know will not be able to repay those loans and small amounts via the post office that that's the agenda here, but this is the. This is a democratic party that Joe Biden is to fend off, and that is why Joe Biden is moving ever more to the left Bernie Sanders is openly claiming that we should cap credit card rates, so he wants to take. Control of these higher credit industry of the United States can see how this goes wrong if interest rates otherwise are set the market. Why have you decided that there are fifteen percent cap is where to go? Half of the american people today have no wealth at all their living pay check. The patriarch you gotta, medical emergency, call breaks out. These are desperate people and then they go to Wall Street and their charge. Outrageous interest rates Wall Street profits are soaring people get further and further in that, while wages remained stuck that this really is disgusting,

and it is got that we have to stand up to the greed of Wall Street and change. If you violent, airily sign a credit card statement, if you did you, if you sign contracts with a credit card company, then you take it up. Credit than you can pay it? That would be on you as a? U problem, These centres wants to make every you problem. We problem in all of us problem. The problem is when you collectivized individual problems, the collective tends to fail at the same rate as the individual. Ok, you know it was just a mailbag here, because it's Friday chill out a little bit Kelly says: if William BAR the age cannot release unadapted information as it against locked. How can Congress League We compel you a citizen to break the law, does bar have recourse for this illegal activity against him? Yes, if they hold them and so we'll contempt for this. It will end up in the Supreme Court. He will see them on the basis that this is not appropriate. They are a compelling into violate american law. I think he'd be likely to win in that case Saracens Haven, I'm an english teacher. In public Highschool this year for the first time in my career? I'd apparent strongly object to the novel to kill a mocking bird. She windows, inappropriate now did an

her daughter, uncomfortable and of course I was racist for choosing to teach it To my shame, I gave in and decided not to teach the book this year. I noticed on Twitter you said you consider it one of the top american novels. Some teachers have abandoned because they argue at others african american students and should be replaced with a book written by a person. Color. I was wondering what is your argument for the value of teaching to kill a mockingbird since today, students to kill a mocking bird is one of the great american novels. It is not only beautifully written it is a story about the incorporation of civilization and morality in children and the need to defend people who speak. They are being treated as other for unjust reasons. To kill a mockingbirds one, the great moral store his weight into its almost party. American mythology is great moral story of Attica. A southern lawyer who is standing up for a wrongly accused black man in the in the Jim Crow, south and the consequences of of doing that. The consequences for How you could read is a racist book is absolutely beyond me. I do not

understand how that is possible, but it does show how the nature of our view of race in America and really are not even Raisin America. How America should view race has changed to kill him off? Bird isn't aspirational books about how we should treat each other. With regard to raise, we should treat each other as individual human beings with in nature. When decency or should aspire to be Atticus bench. A few years back harp release estate released in early draft of Tequila Mockingbird, in which Atticus Finch is basically an old race, and it's about Harper Lee writing about her father and the entire book CAS Atticus. Finch as an old style, brutal, Jim, Crow, racist and the critics. We're talking about many. The credits for talking about this book is more of a real appreciation of what America is and was then to color Mockingbird. While it is true, there are a lot of old style, Jim Crow, racists in this house during Jim Crow. It is also true that if you want to teach people about what America can be, you teach us about killer Mockingbird. If to teach people about what America was. Then you action.

Just show them tape because we have video games as had been. How do you talk your kids about Holocaust? I wonder how best to talk to my kids about them. Wars, slavery without them viewing themselves as victims PS can wish. My wife are Adria, happy birthday. She got me a subscription to daily, whereas you get for our Audrey Happy birthday. That's that's ottomans, you fora for rewarding your husband with a subscription to daily wire. How do I talk to my kids about how did you young right now one is five and what its three I think they will be old enough

maybe when they hit seven or eight years old, and when I will talk about is that there is a long history of persecution against Jews in a variety of countries, culminating in probably the worst persecution in the history of mankind. The Holocaust is deeply disturbing stuff. This is why you should be grateful that you live in the greatest time in the greatest civilization in the greatest country, and you should be grateful for the people around you who fought to end that holocaust. You should be grateful to America, which fought to stop that Holocaust. You should understand that there is a potential for grave evil in every human heart, including your own, and we should work to wipe it. Hey that evil. You should understand that the power of the collective is so intense that sometimes people who even consider themselves decent go along with evil, and you need to stay. Up and say no use it as a moral teaching tool. The same thing, I would assume, is true of slavery. I wouldn't teach it as your victim, because the Holocaust,

I wouldn t I would teach should as evil is possible. Evil does sometimes specifically target Jews just as evil does sometimes passive way target black folks and the only way to fight it, is to stand up and shout about it and rally good people around the cause to fight against it when appropriate, without considering yourself a victim in a society that has fought to end slavery and a society that has fought to stop the Holocaust in a society that that ended, Jim Crow, I mean we it's great to live in a country where we can say. I hope those things isn't it causes in some of the research I've come across its in the comparison between CEO wages compared to their other fellow employees has grown to around four hundred times the average worker over the past few decades. Curious as to the validity of this information, and if it is true economically there's something we can do, or is this something the economy will sort out on its own, given enough time. Well, aren't really see why the gap when the CEO wages and fellow employees is

concern. The question is whether people are being underpaid. People have said this about the sealed Mcdonald's Mcdonald has tens, if not hundreds of thousands of them, he's an see, YO makes a few million dollars ear or the average Mcdonald employees Megan whatever it is twelve bucks an hour or something if you were to fire the sea own redistribute salary, everybody get. Maybe a five cent raise ten cent re, something like that. Question is not what this YO makes, when you decide whether a higher ceo you have to you, have to pay him market wages to get whoever you, you think, is best that job that something approved by the boy or in order to bring in talent and being a sea oh requires years of education; it requires years of hard work and skill set, and if that person, bad they get all the blame. Obviously, so I am a little concerned about this. This is just a general point. I do not care very much about income inequality. I care a lot about what happens to people at the bottom. End of the scale and whether in fact, there are systematic obstructions being put in their way to grow their income. If

Not that I am not concerned that the sea or makes a lot of money, he's not see you not stealing that money from people who are who are working, the Counter Mcdonald's or something, procedures haven. I recently stumbled across one year old video of you being interviewed by Patrick, better deed. Interview stating Biden runs in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty. Do you still feel this way? If not, what is changed her mind? I think that by wins the nomination and You twenty he's the odds on favorite one I mean just by just by statistics. He is just more popular than President Trump on a national level Your present from had to go to Connie going for him. He didn't cut in income in president yeah, there's some things that Trump can do to be competitive, but I think that if you had to put money on it, it's it's at best a fifty slash, fifty shot, the Trump wins against Joe Biden in real life, now this has happened with the recent rocket attacks on Israel over the weekend. A jewish law question came into mine. Are jewish soldiers tax Israel exempt from the should not yet given what is called a head there. They are allowed to protect their fellow Jews because it is a situation of what we call peacock

such a life being endangered lives in danger. Your lads violate virtually recommended in the tour, with the exception of you now lead to kill somebody like an innocent person. If your life is in danger, you're not allowed to commit a sexual sin. If your life is danger and you're not allowed to defame the name of God, basically commit idolatry if your wife's endanger otherwise you're allowed to violate any other rules right his dear I live in the UK. People in left often bring up the example of Saudi Arabia is a country we sell arms, do and have an economic relationship with, despite the human right to trust. These they engage saying this proves are formed he's all about power in oil. What are you pause on the relationship that we have with countries like Saudi Arabia. How'd you respond to these over simplification, so the question informed policy, unfortunately, is what is the alternative? So what I prefer that you're able or a westernize democracy? Yet I'd be awesome also, if we don't support, Saudi Arabia in the region. Then IRAN takes power that is over, a bad thing, because around is much more dangerous than saudi array

in terms of its regional aspirations, as well as its global terror reach. We always have to consider the alternative when it comes to foreign policy, because again, foreign policy doesn't and in a vacuum ones is haven in history class. We're learning about the social security act in after years policies as government president, I was wondering what your critiques of his policies are and how we can reduce the welfare state today. Well, his his socialist, his social policy towards socialist policies policies were very bad for the economy as safe from you. So I did suggest they lengthen the great depression by up to eight years. As far as his social Security ACT that has effectively taken over three, three percent of the federal budget and will be bankrupt by twenty thirty. It is my view that, as opposed to seizing money for people and putting it in the government account that is then used for other purposes in what is effectively a pyramid scheme if you actually wanted to have the governments involved in retirement, which I don't think that it should be, but if you're going to what you were doing,

set up personal. I savings account put the money in the personal, I savings account for the person and then that would be it then at least are saving the money. But that's not what social security does. There is no lock box. You put the money in social security that Social security money then get sent to somebody else. Teresa says. As a hundred percent obstinacy Jude, you speak Yiddish. I do not have a very low command of of yiddish not no more than I think the average american Jus at least let's eat up up up about juices Haven. Big proponents of a flat tax rate? What are the objections to it? Why should a person living off the system have, Equal to someone who pays over thirty percent of their income, I also made big proponents of a flat tax rate. Usually people say well done. There's matter more ethical, lower down on the scale. So therefore, people at lowdown on the should keep a heavier trunk of their income, but that's what percentages are meaning that if I pay the thirty percent my Come no matter what my income It's gonna be a heavy chunk of my comments

what more absolute money when you are wealthy, then, when you are poor, in fact, United States as one more progressive income tax rates in the western world, rich people pay way more than four p m and if we actually had a quart of old socialist system, it's the poor who would pay for the middle class in the poor, which is why the lowest tax with the highest tax brackets and many scandinavian countries starts at around sixty thousand dollars checks as haven love. The show since it is impossible to trump ones? California, would you consider in four Howard shoals as an independent candidate. Instead, if he has a competitive chance, obviously, I agree with him on a lot of issues, but in terms of fiscal responsibility and identity, politics, from a reasonable and moderate than the rest of the Democrats, what if the idea is that now would throw the electoral votes away from the Democrats and toward our jolt and prevents Democrat from reaching to seventy and yet has just strategic voting. So I think strategically sometimes justifiable Brennan's? As do you think the government should mandate the parents vaccinate their children as against I very sceptical of govern mandate on what should be personal choices, but not vaccinating your. Drinking put others at risk? What are your thoughts? Yes, I am in favour of the

permit mandating vaccinations. I know so unpopular with a certain segment of my audience. I understand that that is your prerogative. I disagree when it comes to vaccinations, exsudations do create externalities lack of vaccination of your trial does not just impact or child. It makes your trial. The potential carrier for people who cannot get back the nations, including kid you have cancer, pregnant mothers and babies under one year of age, is why we ve had a route returns, will measles outbreak after that's, disease has effectively been wiped out of the United States decades ago, final question here. Should the United States recognise the Republic of China a K. Taiwan is the rightful government of mainland China very difficult to recognise Taiwan on as the rightful government of mainland China when they dont have any control over mainland China. Without that amounting to ineffective declaration,

WAR against China, so on a real poverty level? I can't see that happening all right. Let's do some stuff I like and then some stuff that I hate self things that I like. So I have to acknowledge that it is amusing to watch as as Democrats make claims about the economy that are just outright false. So Senator Richard Blumenthal, who says a lot of very weird things, was on CNBC. They start talking about Facebook and he makes the case that breaking up companies like Facebook would increase jobs and prosperity. I think that Facebook needs to be broken up the acquisitions of Instagram and what tat need to be on wound and there needs to be department of justice scrutiny about appropriate anti trust remedy, so we're not talking about attacking prosperity or Joe

in fact: increased jobs and greater prosperity in more competition and really facebook. Here is the only company that we're talking about. So when he talks about breaking up breaking up, companies creates jobs and prosper, So I guess the idea is that if we have lots of competition in the sector, that creates jobs and prosperity is indeed that the underlying logic there. Oh wait. That's what we say about everything in the market they only say when they want to break up a company that is cesspool and not jacking, customers are Rightly so we will be back here next Monday. I hope that you have a wonderful joyous and calm weakened. We back your next week to rehash everything I mentioned, this is the bench America. This is the bench of Hiroshima executive.
