A highlight from All GOP Presidential Candidates Should Suspend Their Campaigns And Support Trump
"Turbulent times call for clear -headed insight that's hard to come by these days, especially on TV. That's where we come in. Salem News Channel has the greatest collection of conservative minds all in one place. People you know and trust, like Dennis Prager, Eric Metaxas, Charlie Kirk, and more. Unfiltered, unapologetic truth. Find what you're searching for at snc .tv and on Local Now Channel 525. This is your source for breaking news and what to make of it all. This is The Mike Gallagher Show. Even when everything you say makes sense except it's all bullshit. It's all non -stop. We know this is designed to banish and isolate and to destroy a political outsider. That's the funny thing about this Democrat party. It does hate America. It's hated America since its founding. Voters decide who our presidents are. Not district attorneys, not big donors, not anchors, not pundits, not lawyers. Voters decide. Now from the relieffactor .com studios, here's Mike Gallagher. The voters get to decide. And the voters are going to decide. I'm convinced of that. If not, my country is gone. Welcome aboard. It's Wednesday. I was reading this morning about the Fulton County Sheriff's Department and how the sheriff says, oh, they're all going to get booked and processed. Trump and the 18 other indicted co -conspiracers. There's going to be this three -ring circus next week, a week from Friday, where President Trump and Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell and all the rest of them are going to get booked and processed like common criminals at the Fulton County Jail. There's one goal there. You know what it is. It's to embarrass. It's to intimidate. It is to attack a guy that more than half the country loves. And every attempt to embarrass him is going to result in his popularity increasing. Every effort to embarrass him is going to result in greater popularity for President Trump. I had a No Interruptions podcast that dropped this morning. Wherever you get your podcasts, I hope you subscribe to The Mike Gallagher Show No Interruptions podcast. It's really special because we present two points of view without any interrupting. You know, there's a lot of interrupting with Mark Davis this morning. You'll hear it today, the Eminem experience. Mark and I disagreed mightily about my belief that if Ron DeSantis and all the other Republican candidates would simply throw their support behind Trump right now, drastic times call for drastic measures. Jack Smith and Fannie Willis and all the rest of them, Biden's Justice Department, Merrick Garland, they want to destroy your ability to elect the next president of the United States. They're what an amazing, inspirational move it would be if Governor DeSantis said, you know what, I'll try again in twenty twenty eight. But right now I'm all in for Trump. I can't believe they've weaponized the Justice Department this way. It cannot stand. It will not stand. I'm in for Trump. And first of all, DeSantis becomes the single most popular politician in the history of America. His twenty twenty eight landslide would be guaranteed. Second of all, Trump's election in twenty twenty four would almost certainly be guaranteed. These Republicans could unify and have the opportunity to turn this whole thing around just like that. Now, it's not going to happen. I'm sure I'm delusional, perhaps. But man, oh, man, what a game changer that would be. And Mark Davis, boy, he went off on me. He just thinks I'm crazy, delusional. I don't want to let voters vote. I'm Hugo Chavez. I'm Venezuela. He kept arguing with me today that I'm trying to take away the right to vote. I said, Mark, that's precisely what Biden's Justice Department is trying to do. Don't you get it? And for Mark and people who feel the way Mark feels, it's just business as usual. Let's let it all play out. Let's have the primaries. Let's have the debates. Oh, next week. OK, let's get our popcorn out. There'll be a lot of drama, but that's OK. It'll all sort itself out. It's not going to sort itself out. People are going to have to stand up and and do things they would have never considered doing before. And I believe that would include Republicans unifying behind Trump. It could be a pipe dream, but then again, hey, it's 2023. Anything is possible. So back to this no interruptions podcast, a back and forth. This week's no interruptions podcast was between Caroline Wren, who's the former finance adviser for Trump, his Trump Victory Finance Committee. She's also been working with Carrie Lake and David Carlucci, who's a Democrat strategist and a former Democrat New York state senator. And we debated election integrity. Caroline said something and there's no interruptions. First of all, make sure you check out this podcast. Again, subscribe to The Mike Gallagher Show, no interruptions podcast wherever you get your podcast. You're going to want to hear this one. Again, no back and forth, no crosstalk, no interference. You get to hear both points of you uninterrupted. But Caroline explain why there is so much doubt about the integrity of the 2020 election. And so I wanted to lift that cut. I want to play that clip for you from yesterday's pot for this week's podcast. I want you to hear why millions of us are cynical about the outcome of the 2020 election. I don't think I've ever heard anybody in just a minute and seconds 54 so perfectly summarize the problems of the 2020 election and why we have so much doubt. I want to play that for you coming up here in the Relief Factor Studios. I also want to invite you to join us, 800 -655 -MIKE. We've also been taking a poll, The Birch Gold Survey at MikeOnline .com. Make sure you answer the question there, the poll question, every day brought to you by Birch Gold. All you got to do is text the keyword Mike to 98 -98 -98 and we'll send you a free info kit on owning gold, silver, precious metals. It's 13 past the hour. Welcome aboard. Our number is 800 -655 -MIKE. And if you want to beat me up a little bit like Mark Davis did this morning, that I'm crazy and delusional over whether or not it would be a good thing for all the Republican candidates to endorse Trump now. You think that's nuts? We'll see. And wait till you hear what Caroline Wren says about election integrity, 2020 style. 800 -655 -6453. We have a line open and ready just for you. Unveil evil in nefarious, the modern screw tape letters. Praise by Pastor Jack Hibbs, Jim Caviezel and Dinesh D 'Souza. Rented today on SalemNow .com.

A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 08/02/23
"We could use this every day for the M &M segment. I love it. Knowing me, there is a reason. This of course was sung by a jingle singer named Cynthia Fee for the theme to the Golden Girls, but written by this wonderful man right here, Andrew Gold, who did such great work with Linda Ronstadt and others, and wrote some pretty great records himself like Lonely Boy, the great Andrew Gold would have been. Gosh, it was his birthday today, and so there we go. Well, we need friends. Oh my goodness gracious me, we sure do. We have to have a community, and you know, I'm going to start out maybe riling you up a little bit. I'm not going to suggest you're mistaken by saying that when I say that people should be rallying behind Trump uniformly, I get it, we're going to let the game come to us, voters are going to get to decide, but boy, this would be a good time if you've been on the fence, and you have been sort of squishy about, well, I don't know, Trump, baggage, DeSantis, maybe an alternative, I kind of like that vague fellow. Now, this is a time to stand with a guy who is being unbelievably persecuted, not prosecuted, persecuted for his beliefs. You know, Mark, I've been thinking a lot about that, and first of all, I can't believe my level of emotion right now. I didn't expect to be this emotional. Me neither. Give voice to that, because you and I have done this forever, right? We have some decades, there have been presidents we liked, those we didn't. Policies we thought were great, policies we thought were horrible. There is something singularly horrid about this. Please, you go first. Well, the word is sinister. There's a sinister effort to stop the election process, to subvert the election. Everybody knows it, everybody's in on it. The Democrats are well aware of this. When Trump says, why did they wait two and a half years to throw all this at me? We know the answer to that, so I'm feeling kind of a combination. First of all, I'm surprised at how sad I am, and how fearful I am. I don't know how this is going to play out, but it's not good. It's not good for the Democrats, it will not be good for the Democrats. It's not good for Republicans, it's not good for this constitutional republic to criminalize political speech. And that's literally what Jack Smith, this guy, this scoundrel, is attempting to do. He's making the case that he knows that Donald Trump didn't believe that the election was suspect. Now, you and I are in a very unique position here on this. We hear every day from people from all walks of life. We hear people North, South, East, West, young, old, right, left. Is there any doubt in your mind that of the thousands of reactions you and I have gotten from people saying that Trump got hosed in 2020, that the thousands and thousands of people who have said this election was not on the up and up, COVID laws, they changed things because of COVID, they changed election laws in the middle of the night, all the suspicions that people have. Is there any doubt in your mind, Mark, that those are not sincerely held beliefs? None. Of course they believe it. And people can agree with it, disagree with it, and you can feel that things were squirrelly, or you can say, as Trump does, that we definitely won. You even have the right in America to be a little bit of a nut. You can go full Sidney Powell with the Hugo Chavez changing the Dominion machine scenario. Even that's not illegal. You can go to jail for saying, you can go to jail for saying, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the moon is made out of Swiss cheese. Come get me, put handcuffs on me, take me away. Now, here's though, but let's go apples to apples. The government, Biden's government, Biden's Justice Department, and of course that's the whole story, is trying to make the case that Trump's words and actions led to the riot on January 6th, and therefore disenfranchised voters. You were talking about this earlier. They're going to use that old gag, the disenfranchisement of voters. How are voters disenfranchised by sitting around saying, as far as I know, Trump didn't get into the White House in 2021. Nobody was disenfranchised. Biden's the president. He's in the Oval Office. Nothing got, who was disenfranchised? How can you even make that claim, Mark? What can you, what can you possibly, okay, so Trump didn't think that he legitimately lost in 2020. Guess what? Join the club because I've got a montage that I'm going to play not from 2016. But Mike, that's not possible because 2020 was the first year that anybody ever doubted an election. Surely you don't have audio of Democrats doubting results from the past. Go, go, do you remember the George W. Bush, Al Gore Supreme Court battle? Remember that one? You're old enough to remember that? There's a montage that everybody can now hear. It goes back to those days when prominent Democrats, one after another, lined up and said that George W. Bush is not the legitimate president of the United States. He was the president select, remember? Oh, sure. And the Supreme Court anointed him. And by the way, all of those completely untrue things that they said, they have every right to say them. They have every right to say them. Nobody came to their house and went, we're going to indict you and lock you up for the rest of your life for saying those things. You know, one of the most popular text message articles that I've received is when people text me the keyword Trump and we send back a list of Trump accomplishments. Because a lot of people forget what happened in the four years that he was president. So thousands and literally tens of thousands of people have sent that text message, the word Trump, to my text line, which is 800 -655 -MIKE. A close second, and now I think a close third, will be when people want to hear the montage of Hillary, of the late John Lewis, of Jimmy Carter. Go down the list. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, not only doubting the legitimacy of the 2016 election, but now you can hear the montage that the great folks over at Grabian put together questioning the outcome of the George Bush Al Gore election. If you text the keyword fraud to 800 -655 -MIKE from your phone, we'll send you back the video clip of the election deniers Hillary Clinton at all in 2016. If you text the words more fraud to 800 -655 -MIKE, we'll send you back the montage of all the election deniers from the George Bush Al Gore battle. I mean, it's complete hypocrisy. And Mark, there is a nefarious, diabolical, sinister, history -making chapter that was just begun yesterday. And I know where this ends. I think you do too. You're a smart guy. I've been listening to you all day. This is going to have to be decided by the Supreme Court. The judge that has been randomly assigned to the Trump case, wink, wink, yeah, some random assignment. Have you read about this Lulu? This piece of work? She gives people jail sentences for January 6th when the government didn't want jail sentences for them. She sent a couple to jail for taking a selfie on Capitol Hill that day, and the government wasn't seeking any jail time. But this judge, an Obama appointee, is going to hear—so listen, get ready, because she's going to throw—she will absolutely rule against Trump. We're going to see a guy that might—I'm not kidding you—brace yourself, wind up in prison next year. Jack Smith is asking for a speedy trial. And I'm under no illusion that this thing is going to play out nicely or have a happy ending until it gets to the Supreme Court. I don't think it'll play out quickly, though. Every concern you have is rock solid, but I don't think there's—the reason he wants a speedy trial is so that it's plunked right down in the middle of the primaries. And I don't think that justice is going to move briskly here. Did you catch John Law in the— Wait a minute, wait a minute, hold on, let me push back on that with love. Let me tell you why. They hold the cards. They're playing—this is their game, Mark. This is not Trump's game. Now, you're right, this could—in a normal world, it would play out forever. This isn't normal. They're breaking the rules. They're making up the rules as they go. Of course they want a speedy trial because they want to disqualify Trump from November of 2024. Because, Mark, hey, announce your voice. He's going to win. He's going to win. I am more convinced of that now than ever. Well, the nomination, surely it seems, and I guess on a future day we'll talk about whether this helps or hurts in the general, but what do these people want? One of two things is true. They're trying to destroy him so that he'll never be the nominee or the president. Or they're trying to—or it's an odd four -dimensional chess where they are trying to gin up so much support in the MAGA base that he's absolutely the nominee because they think Biden can beat him. Which of those is true? That's a great question because they are not oblivious to these crazy poll numbers. They worship at the altar of the New York Times. The New York Times is predicting that Trump's going to win, and the New York Times is saying he might win in the general election. The New York Times -Siena poll is looking at a head -to -head matchup. I mean, Trump's got the— He is, without a doubt, a formidable political opponent that is the—I believe—I'm going to say it right now, and I'll get in trouble for it because I'm trying to be neutral. And I will absolutely support whoever the Republican nominee is as decided by the voters. But I have a belief that I think is going to be shared by millions and millions of people. Trump's the only guy who can beat the Democrats. Trump is the only guy who can win. Trump is the only guy who can stop them. I don't like the chances of any other—look at any one of them. DeSantis is a vague— You think Biden beats the—if the half -court shot goes in and DeSantis wins the lottery ticket and somehow gets the nomination in Milwaukee next year— And he could. And he could. And he could. You think Biden beats him? I think that Trump is our best chance, Mark. No, I mean, listen, I'm prayerfully going to believe that any Republican is going to beat this infirm old man who's shuffling around asking who ordered the veal cutlet. I don't know, but I still believe now, more than ever, that Trump is the best chance. Everything about the deep state, the uni -party, the system, everything is coming to fruition. It's true, Mark. And they're doing it— And he's vindicated. And they're saying it—just Jack Smith demanding a speedy trial. I mean, you took your time for two and a half years. Now you want a speedy trial? Are you kidding me? No, no, no. They're doing it right under our noses. And let me talk about the final heartbreak of the last 24 hours. You've touched on it. Mike Pence. Mike Pence. I've interviewed him on a number of occasions. What a good man. What a good Christian. What a servant's heart. He's got a servant's heart. And listen, he's a former colleague. He's a talk radio guy. I know, radio guy. I mean, he loved talking to me when I interviewed him on a number of occasions about the business. You know, he was in front of a microphone.

Launguage Control Is Thought Control, Being Used by Democrats
"The Democrat Party the media academia the teachers unions in other words it is a trait it is a characteristic of communism of Marxism of totalitarianism we have men and women who have lived through regimes like this whether it's Castro and Cuba, Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, old the Soviet Union China North Korea Iran you name it and several through the Third Reich. Associate Professor at Agda Stronska McMaster University in Hamilton Canada you know that's how I give everybody credit I don't steal their ideas this of course is from the Democrat Party hates America entire chapter on language and thought control she explains in her essay language and totalitarian regimes that totalitarianism promoted persuasion by means of altering perceptions of totalitarianism promoted persuasion by reality altering people's perception of reality she also explains that communist regimes use the means propaganda of and mass deception based on a fiction in other words language is weaponized to serve the purposes of a political party a movement an ideology and a regime and in this the communists are not alone Stronska notes that in practice

The Marxist Axis of Evil in the Americas
"Did you know that recently Biden Trudeau and Obrador got together for one of those joined diversity inclusion statements, basically committing all three governments to promoting ethnic and cultural and gender. I mean, transgender. Look at who started this whole ethnic thing. Hugo Chavez did. And just demonizing the white people in Venezuela. And this is a trend. So people think that, you know, in Venezuela, oh no, no, no, that's a different kind of socialism. Well, okay, maybe it's a different kind of socialism in that it involves a lot of narco terrorists terroristic threads in there whereas we don't, but the ideology is exactly the same. They still divide people based on socioeconomic status. They still divide people based on race and ethnicity. So the division of people making people hate each other is something that is definitely going on. And I think even on the narco terrorist side, it's not as if the Biden administration is promoting narco terrorism, but they are in bed with the cartels on the border. Their shoes. So they are right. They are complicit with naco terrorism because they recognize if they're predictable consequence of policies they actively support. Right. And so in a way, it is kind of the access of evil, right? It's going to come back to bite us because this is just horrible. And you know, it really reminds me also of when Obama and Hugo Chavez were seen chumming around, shaking hands, Hillary Clinton. I mean, all of these people. It's not, it's not by sheer coincidence that Hugo Chavez and Maduro like the Democrats and not the Republicans.

"The city's being led by idiots Is it salvageable Well you're absolutely right that every problem that we're experiencing right now at the city state and federal level has been brought to us by one party Democrat rule whether it's Cassie hulk was ridiculous bailout that she refuses to fix whether it be Eric Adams now with the migrant crisis which by the way you should be telling Joe Biden He should be joining our calls to secure the border and reinstate the policies of president Trump at 7 the flow It actually made sense It was working And on the federal level you know what they're trying to do to try to bring all those New York City policies to the federal level We stopped them They tried to bring the anti police measures The stripping qualified immunity and taking away resources They tried to do that When we stopped them they tried to use taxpayer money to fund political campaigns and ban voter ID laws We were able to stop that too Packing the Supreme Court which was a creation of Jerry Nadler Actually it was a creation of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela Destroyed the richest country in South America We were able to stop that too thankfully Now if we take back the house and restore some balance I think we would see a lot more leverage to stop Joe Biden reinstate some of these policies that we're working at our border finish the walls Things like that but and that's why my feet so important because we flip this seat two years ago we must hold on to it in order to take back the house And people that want to have are interested in learning more Please go to Nicole for NY dot com because we need every single seat that we won two years ago and we need to make sure that we win the remaining heat necessary So we at least have some type of balance in Washington

"It is true that Republicans behave differently when a camera is not in front of them. And I just know interacting with a number of them, they know that it's insane, what part of their base believes in extreme marguerite Republicans have just crazy theories about, for example, the election being stolen, which it was not. Donald Trump lost by over 7 million votes. And he lost the Electoral College by multiple swing states and is sure to say, you know, Italian satellites where reversing votes is crazy and some of them believe that, but there are members of Congress, they don't believe that. Except when they have a camera in front of them, then they'll say things to feed their base, but they know themselves for a while, that they're saying crazy things. If you don't mind me asking, how do you know that they know that full well? Oh, so I've talked to some of them. And I've heard what they say about some of their crazy colleagues, like, more juicy green and Madison Cawthorn and others. So I know that they know that their colleagues are crazy and they know that what those colleagues say are crazy. So it's very clear to me that they understand that. And yet they're either silent or in a camera is put in front of them, they won't contradict what those people say. You could take the 5th, it's okay, but is it okay to disclose some of these members who know? Oh, I'm not going to. Look, most people understand that war on democracy based on facts. And a lot of these facts are so easily contradicted, right? So we know that Italian satellites did not flip votes. We know that Hugo Chavez then arrives from the dead and somehow flip votes. We know that Donald Trump lost the election. I mean, the attorney general of the United States testified under oath to January 6th committee that the election conspiracy claims were quote bullshit. And lastly, I'm getting to your tweets because it's really important stuff, but I'm just curious for you, Ted, because you're a smart guy, and you know, how do you, when you see people in Dallas, waiting for the next coming of JFK junior to be Donald Trump's running mate. Are you just are you like, what? What's going on in this country?.

The Incoherent Manifesto That Is the 'Margarita Declaration on Climate Change'
"I want to introduce you. To something that occurred in July 18 2014 7 short years ago. And on that date, a large number of delegates from radical groups throughout the world gathered to issue a joint proclamation called The Margarita Declaration on Climate Change. Revealing that their proclamation leads with a quote from Venezuela's late Marxist. Dictator Hugo Chavez quote. Let us go to the future. Let us bring it and so it here. Of course, thanks to Chavez and his successor, Nicolas Maduro. The Venezuelan economy and society are devastated. People are dying of starvation. And seeking refuge in the United States and other countries. There's a complete breakdown in health care and basic public services, and the government is a violent police state that represses any and all dissident voices. Indeed, the proclamation reads like a modern version of Marxist Communist Manifesto. Laced with environmental declarations and platitudes. While it is insipid and absurd on so many levels, it is also dangerously appealing and increasingly acceptable. As a matter of national international

Maybe it might have something to do with the homicide rate in the city and the looting and putting up the bridges, Speaking of medieval times. To keep the violent mobs of barbarians from destroying the city and burning it to the ground. Maybe it's here. Incompetence. Um maybe it's your whole attitude. Maybe it's your racism.

We're kind of peach kind of a peach. Look at the Crayola box. You'll you'll see it's not really right at all. But there it is. That's the Democrat Party. They do a great job everywhere, Don't they? From Seattle and Portland, Minneapolis to to Chicago. The New York City where they've got that humdinger of an election gun. They've got that great Democratic primary going someday we might may find out who won it. This is the Democrats fixing our system of electing leaders. And they fixing it kind of in the way that Hugo Chavez fix the way that they held elections in Venezuela and things that really they're just getting warmed up. The things are getting better and better, Aren't they? Amazing? Well, happy Thursday to and welcome Fourth of July weekend coming up kind of kind of exciting. I think it is, and a lot of people taking Monday off its holiday could be a three day weekend for you. Not for everybody, though. You know, not for everybody. I just love how much of that? What? And what A t up was just teeing up this this question How much of the criticism of you do you think has to do with the fact that you're a woman? And if I may layered on a little more thick, uh, a woman of color. And mayor Lori Lightweight said about 99%. Oh, she's a gay woman. Also, she's l and G l N g, not liquefied natural gas, but you know, lesbian and gay. That's right. So she's she's a 33. And he didn't ask that. How dare he not ask that he must be a home of Club of some kind. The Wttw Panhandler Broadcasting Network, the PBS, UH, station in Chicago, Illinois. And just suck up a little more. Their fluffer boy. Honestly, what is worth that? Holy cow, you'd have lost his job in the Simi Valley had to go get a job with PBS. Remarkable here it is 99%, she said. Well, what is the other 1% Follow up question. You know, reporters and the lost art of the follow up question. I've actually noticed that no reporters no ask follow up questions anymore. Yes, it is ridiculous Questions of gen pop sake. She gives you a ridiculous answer, which is completely befuddling. And nobody has the the gumption. I think that might be the word to ask the obvious follow up questions, and they're usually quite obvious to But this is this is what you get when you're a Democrat. Well, People have been critical of you. That must be because they're sexist and racist. What do you think? Oh, I think 99%. Yeah, that's probably it probably what's going on? Mm hmm. Man. Oh, man. Oh, man, Mana Schevitz. Mm. I'm telling you, all right, we've got a lot of things get And this. This botched election in New York has really said, and the funny bloody news media's coverage of it. Is kind of laugh out loud, Funny. Little bit less out loud Funny anyway. The Supreme Court today just moments ago said to provision of Arizona voting law. That restrict how ballots can be cast. Do not violate the historic Voting Rights Act that bars regulations that result in here it is racial discrimination. CNN has the the exciting story. Supreme Court says Arizona limits Don't violate Voting act. That's because the Democrats are insane, and they take everything to court into the Supreme Court, and everything is racist. They are the party of the Klan and Jim Crow. And all of that good stuff. In fact, I think that, uh Joe Biden, he's the president, knighted states. Believe it or not, I think that he played Jim Crow in the Democrat Party congressional play every year. Didn't he wasn't actually the Jim Crow character because he You know Jim Crow laws, Democrat laws and, uh and I let me just share this little side story now that that story just broke. It's only two sentences so far coming out of the Supreme Court. But the Arizona law that the Democrats said was racist and violated the Voting Rights Act the Supreme Court has ruled does not violate the Voting Rights Act and does not discriminate based on race. But Democrats think that everything discriminates based on race. They think that black people don't know how to use the Internet. Joe Biden said that and that black people couldn't possibly get a photo ID. Much too complicated. Only white people can do that. It's a little harder for Hispanic people real easy for white people. Impossible for black people. This is the Democrat Party analysis of photo. I d s photo ideas because they're Racists. You see, that's about the soft bigotry of low expectations. More than anything else, but that's a remarkable turn of events. Now let's um so many so many crazy stories to get to. I've got to say let's uh Yeah. Where's the Where's the one we were talking about yesterday? But I didn't get to it yesterday is too funny. Oh, well, Here's some stories. I'm going to get the President Trump, who was at the border yesterday. Our southern border our border with Mexico. Kamala still doesn't know where it is and president was also on the Sean Hannity program on the Fox News Channel last night. But we we awoke to headlines today that are that are pretty funny.

Vladimir I mean, excuse me, Lenin. His biography includes that he was born in a well educated family excelled at school and went on to study law at the university was exposed to radical thinking. His views were influenced by the execution of his older brother. Remember the Revolutionary group. Expelled from the university for his radical policies. Lenin completed his law degree is an external student in 18 91. And then he moved to ST Petersburg and became a professional revolutionary. Although mall was born in a peasant family, his biography explains that he trained as a teacher and he traveled to Beijing We worked in the university library is During this time he began to read Marxist literature in 1921. He became a founding member, the Chinese Communist Party. Cambodia's Pol Pot came from a relatively prosperous families, biography states that he was educated in a series of French speaking schools in 1949. He won a scholarship to study in Paris where he became involved in communist politics and I could go on. I can go on about Castro. Another one. Fairly well to do family. His father owned a farm.

There is a Surge Of Coronavirus Deaths in Mexico
"New data reveal a surge of cova deaths in mexico. The country has officially confirmed more than two million cases. An almost one hundred eighty thousand deaths from the corona virus but mortality rates. Tell an even more grim tale over the past year deaths were fifty two percent higher than in previous years. According to the financial times that puts mexico's rate of excess deaths much higher than that of countries such as america and brazil assembled woman to stay lot yet earlier this month. Mexico's president andres manuel. Lopez obrador widely known as anglo said. We are living in a stellar moment. The kovic spike is far from the country's only problem poverty. Corruption and crime are all on the rise but polls indicate that two years into amyloid term. Most mexicans are willing to give him more time. Mexico's president is incredibly popular. Sir burke is our mexico bureau chief he wanted on slide in two thousand eighteen and he still has approval ratings that most other leaders would be extremely jealous off at sixty two percent as it stands and that's all in spite of what looks like a very good handling of most things most obviously at the moment the pandemic. What do you mean by that. Mexico is a terrible record for covert hospitals are full and oxygen tanks in short supply. It's done very few tests for covid. It hasn't provided very much financial support tool for people who are suffering or being asked to stay home not to work the vaccination which is one sort of bright spot potentially insofar as mexico has lined up enough vaccines to cover its population. But it's a very very slow start. That might be picking up now. But otherwise there talks of ten years to get to seventy five percent of the population being vaccinated. I'm currently this has been a problem again from the top. So i'm low has completely downplayed the importance of the pandemic. He has refused to wear a face mask apart from wants when he flew in an airplane to go to the united states and he got covid himself the stars of this year and he reappeared and everyone thought well. Maybe he'll have changed his mind after this. But he reiterated again that he wouldn't be wearing a face mask so in the face of that pandemic response on wires his popularity still so high so he had this amazing vision for mexico in eighteen. Which is why he won with a landslide. He said. I'm going to do a fourth transformation. These big bold plan to make the country fairer and more equitable ending corruption and crime. And making sure there was economic growth where the gains were fairly distributed so that poor people go rich. The reality is slightly different from the vision so far in the two and a bit years. He's been in power. He's been undoing. The reforms of previous presidents and dismantling that system throwing out the baby with the bath water you could say. And then his new initiatives mainly they seem to fail to solve the problems that they put two and then a of third element is that he's really concentrated power in the presidency and some people say that they get things done and other people think they're more evil intentions behind that well. Let's come back to the throwing the baby out with the bathwater part. What's he'd been doing. In terms of reform he abolished prosper. Which was a very sort of lauded conditional cash transfer program for the poor he also reversed education. Reform was much more meritocratic assessment of teachers. A big one at the moment is he's trying to reverse bit by bit and opening of the energy market. That happened in two thousand thirteen so it was open to private and foreign enterprises which make electricity cheaper and greener on current. Neither congress is debating a bill which would favor cfe which is state owned electricity provider. So they're actually go first into the grid. As opposed to the cheaper electric which is often green provided by private companies. This would obviously raise prices and deti energy but it could also breach the. Us mexico canada agreement. Which is the north american free trade pact to replace after another sort of big thing has been getting rid of or proposing get rid of a lot of the autonomous agencies such as the freedom of information agency all these ones keep checks on the government and what it's doing so well he's been tearing all that down. What's he been building up. Will you say his own initiatives. Don't do what they should. He's very dedicated to fiscal discipline. That's a good thing especially in a so-called left leaning president it's also become very counter productive during the pandemic. The imf is telling mexico to spend more so far it's only spent nine point seven percents of gdp on extra efforts during the pandemic and more needs to be done and some people think this is going to need to scarring that there's going to be permanent drop in output caused by loss of jobs and businesses so the recovery is going to be much much slower in mexico than elsewhere. He's also splashed out on bizarre old-economy projects such as pouring money. Pex the world's most indebted oil company. And then he's putting eight billion dollars into a refinery at the time when no other country is building refineries and it's not clear what economic return that will be from that and you mentioned the big transformative plan was in part about ending endemic corruption and crime. How's that been going. Well either jason. That was point. Four percent dip in murders last year and he proclaimed this dip as a very significant success. But that's after a rise the before and frankly during the pandemic you'd expect it to have dropped them. In in other countries across latin america that also suffer high levels of violence that has been the case he also rejected the previous government's tactic of killing and capturing crime kingpins because led to a splintering of gangs. And you might be worth rejecting that. But there's no alternative puts in place. So i think his vision is that you alleviate poverty and crime goes down. That might happen in the long term but it does nothing to sort out the short term problem the problem of the current chapel as opposed to the ones who are still only three years old on corruption. As you could say he's set a good example so has been good political rhetoric. The stiffer penalties on bribe-taking for bureaucrats. But he's unless strengthen the institutions to carry that ford again it's more rhetoric than actual institutional change or heft. The national anticorruption prosecutors overwhelmed with cases and one government agency suggests that the number of acts of corruption actually rose by nineteen percent between two thousand seventeen and two thousand nineteen. It is as you say not a big list of happy news here. I mean when will that's ring down to the electorate. I mean how long we'll mexicans continue to support him for his failures because he really has persuaded a lot of people that he's like them and cares about the he's very popular because of who he is and his message rather than necessarily what he does. The opposition is seen as corrupt on what came before him was horrifically corrupt. And so he's seen the best of a bad bunch by a loss of people. But you know here's a classic populace and a lot of elite azam Against him they see him as a mexican version of hugo chavez. Which i think is a little bit of an exaggeration. But there's this big divides on the mix of policy failure. I'm power grabbing is is worrying.

He then scheduled the rally for January. The sixth just from the transfer of power is to take place and he brought together a crowd, but a portion of that was transformed into a mountain. And when they went into the capital, it was clear that he wished that lawmakers be intimidated. And even after he knew there was violence taking place, he continued to basically sanction the mob being there. And not until later that he actually asked them to leave All of that points to a motive and a method and that is wrong. He should be held accountable.

He's one of the top figures that the Fox business Network What Fox says is a look back in October. We told people there'll be changes coming after the elections. This is part of that. It's just hard to credit it. In fact, nobody I've talked to inside Fox other than their officials or outside Fox.

Company filed the lawsuit against Fox against Lou Dobbs against two of his colleagues Maria Bartiromo and Jeannine Pirro. And against two of the president's lawyers, who have appeared frequently on those shows. Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell remind us what the lawsuit alleges. Dobbs did. Smartmatic says that these figures wanted Trump to win and, in fact said so repeatedly on the air, but that they knew he had lost fairly and squarely in the November election. So they essentially bound together in a conspiracy to make completely false claims about this election being stolen from former President Donald Trump. Here's a feel for the kind of thing Rudy Giuliani was saying on. Dobbs is Fox show. In this case in an appearance in mid November, so we're using a foreign company that is owned by Venezuelans, who were close to Chavez are now close to Maduro. They were founded as a company to six elections. They have a terrible record, and they are extremely happy able. I mean to be clear, David. None of that is true. Actually.

We're kind of 50 50 half the time the ground hog saw his shadow in half the time he didn't and some some people don't remember. So I always remember how to tell if it's going to be an early spring. And that is if he sees a shadow. It's S S s if he sees his shadow, it's six weeks to spring. And my guess is that this coming Tuesday? I guess it is. He's He's probably going to see a shadow and go right back where he came from. That's what I would do. I would hightail it back to where I came from, Um, this day in legal history, 18 65 Congress passed the 13th Amendment Amendment abolishing slavery. And this day in 2006, U. S Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor retired and was replaced by Samuel Alito. Sandra Day O'Connor is still alive. She's 90 years old. She retired a couple years ago from public life with early onset dementia. She was appointed by Ronald Reagan. She served the court for 25 years. I had the honor of Actually being in front of her in the Supreme Court many years ago, and I also had the honor of meeting her at a Neve Ent. And it was just a really interesting thing to know that she was the first woman ever on the Supreme Court branch of our government. And in my lifetime, I got to see that which I think says a lot about how women Oh, took a long time to get up to those places. But now we have numerous women on the court and the courts are still not quite quite where they should be as far as judges who are females, but we're definitely improving. Before. Ah, Before we get to our guests. I want to talk just briefly about this lawsuit and again if you know my show, you know, I'm a lawyer. I'm a practicing lawyer, and what I try to do is I try to explain the law. In a way that everyone can understand. I try not to invoke my opinion. I specifically do not want to invoke my political opinions. So please understand what I'm saying. I'm trying to explain the law rather than give my opinion as to who's the political person that I like better than the other Because I think that we're all intelligent enough to have her own opinions. And the only thing that I my opinion I would do. It just would do nothing. You're gonna make up your own mind. But Rudy Giuliani was soon this week and I've been watching Rudy Giuliani for a long time, and it's very concerning to me as a lawyer. When I see him doing some of these things. Whether you're a trump supporter or not. He was sued by Dominion Dominion is what the second largest company that makes voting systems and Rudy Giuliani has gone in public and has gone on YouTube and has said things about how Dominion was is a Venezuelan company. It's a shady company that it helped Dictator Hugo Chavez steal elections that it stole this election. It was kept up to speed on who was winning in different states, and it rigged the election in different states. And he made some comments that, um we're very harmful to Dominion. And so Dominion sued for $1.3 billion now, just because they say 1.3 billion. That doesn't mean that's what they're going to get or if they're going to win, But I kind of wanted to explain a little bit. About love defamation because people think that you have a first Amendment right to say pretty much of anything, and our first Amendment is a great Ah, great thing I've been in other countries have been in Cambodia and Vietnam and Russia and you can't say everything there. You won't say everything, and sometimes the people would say Yeah, you're free to say it, but you may not be free after you say it. So we're very lucky that we have these protections. But if you say something false and let me go through that what they're gonna have to prove against Giuliani, they're going to have to prove that the statements that he made were statements of fact. So it can't be something like they're not a good company, or I don't think they're very good. Those aren't statements affect those air statements of opinion. You have to be a statement of fact, that's probably false. And depending on a couple of complicated things here, the company may have to prove that Rudy Giuliani knew or should have known or was had reckless disregard. For the truth of what he was saying, And as a result, there were damages, meaning there was money lost as a result of his comments, and so the so these comments about Venezuelan company well, it's not a Venezuelan company. It was it was started in Canada. Canada. It was it took away. The election in Venezuela has not to do with Venezuela. It was actually formed to make it easier for blind people to vote. Um and whatever you believe. As far as the election being rigged, 60 courts found that there was no evidence of fraud, Voter fraud and including the Supreme Court, so Um, it's gonna be interesting this lawsuit because first of all, he could lose it. And if he does, that's a lot of money and Rudy Giuliani. I'm sure doesn't have $1.3 billion unless, of course, he was on Robin Hood this week, but that's you know, so I think it's gonna be an interesting lawsuit because his defense has to be that. What he said was true, and that's when we're going to get the fax about what really happened in the election and If there is voter fraud, and if there is some evidence of it, we're going to hear it because $1.3 billion is at stake. When we come back, we're gonna be talking to Tricia. Ben. We're talking about women in the workplace. We're talking about all the people out of the workplace, how to get back into it.

Our program today will be having a variety of subjects that I want to address such as news Flash. I'll also be continuing our study of first John Chapter five. And if time permits will be doing the music corner segment, we'll see how things progress. And our our today. Not today is January 16th. And that means there are only four days left until the presidential inauguration. Now under normal circumstances, the weeks and months that proceed this event are what I would call static. You see, after an election everything is assumed and all the parties involved are cooperating toward the goal of what we call a peaceful transition of power. Now, I think you want to know that this very thing this Concept. This practice of the peaceful transition of power in our country, the United States of America, Woz until very recently in history. Astonishing to the outside world. You see much of the world doesn't have an idea of what the peaceful transition of power is. As a matter of fact, the majority of the population of the world today live in nations where this concept excuse upon his Foreign to them Now, why is that very simple. Many nations live under various forms of ruler ship examples of this committee scene in the fact that many nations exist under Dictatorships, despotism. Tyranny, kings, queens princes, you name it, and none of them share power, let alone consider the idea of transitioning power to any other. In history before the founding of America. There really was nothing known of the concept of the peaceful transition of power simply because there wasn't any This is what sets America apart from any other nation. Now today, think of Islamic countries or Islamic state's one has there been a peaceful transition of power in Islam, whether it's a caliphate or Islamic monarchy or an emirate state? And these dates, civil rights hardly exist, and the state looks at itself as a theocracy. And these theocracies are ruled by a religious class that dictate all laws and all citizens are under their authority and are subservient to them. Think of Western Year before World War one. When did a king or wanted a queen transfer their power so easily, And it wasn't until after World War, one that the reign of Kings and Queens eventually came to an end in Western Europe. Yet even in that context, They still retain their titles, even though their role became more symbolic than practical. What about China? Are there elections off course, their elections. But the elections are not free and the outcome will always be what the Communists wanted to be there. Forging Jing Ping will never transition his power to another. What about Russia? Putin has been in power since the late 19 nineties. And it's not going to change even though for a brief time there was another president Medvedev and he reigned as president between 2000 and 2012. But he was just a puppet of Putin. And don't forget that Putin was the prime minister of Russia at that time. So other than a lateral title change. Putin has been in power and will continue to hold power indefinitely. And of course, with these examples, we also have the reality of the fact that corruption is always an essential ingredient to the powers that never change. You could say. That an objective understanding of the contemporary world and also history has clearly taught us something. And that is this. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts. Absolutely. I'm sure you've heard that phrase again. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts Absolutely. And so we in America have been blessed with the unique feature and a privilege which our republic has afforded, and that is the concept and the reality off the peaceful transition of power. But something has changed. Everyone listening to my voice right now recognizes that something has changed. And I'm not relating to the events of last week of generally sixth that it created the capital. I'm referring to what preceded it. Not without the laboring the point because there's been so much spoken about it already. Let me just say this the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. Was compromised. The evidence for systemic voting fraud is overwhelming. The firsthand testimony isn't after David's of eye witnesses of what was seen by election workers and observers is uncontradicted ble, Remember? Ah 1000 witnesses signed affidavits. In other words, they swore under penalty of perjury. That what they saw is what they saw, and they're not lying about it. And if it turns out that they're lying about it, they go to jail. 1000 witnesses signed these affidavits and many testified about what the actually saw. And each of these witnesses and what they saw is considered direct evidence. But all these witnesses and their testimonies fell on deaf ears. The judicial system in our country, which is designed to administer justice didn't want to hear it. Every door was shut and every year in the state, judicial and state legislatures were closed. Edition. It was discovered that the voting software that was used in several states We all know what the Dominion system voting software is a foreign owned software system, and it was originally designed from the beginning for the singular purpose of keeping dictators like Hugo Chavez when he was alive. And power permanently. Of course, What I brought up is just the tip of the iceberg. There's a myriad of things that I could stage an impasse programs. I have given a good basic picture of all of this and truth be told. Many of us already know this And because of where the country is now, these facts, unfortunately, are now beginning to go down into the memory hole of our culture..

Egged on by the president would be incredibly embarrassing awkward for a us diplomat overseas. Do you worry that this is something that is going to. Linger pass january twentieth. Will this have a lasting impact on the united states ability to project itself as a guarantor exemplar of democracy abroad. I think it'll be a long before. The united states can issue for example. A statement of condemnation because a foreign leader doesn't accept election results. Without having that country's snicker in return. I think we like to tell the rest of the world of to abide by free and fair elections and we have a president now. Who's not doing that. And i think eventually we will regain the moral high ground. But i think donald trump and the last four years and certainly the last two weeks and still two weeks to go has caused immense damage. I mean are you able to reassure yourself. At least the world does perhaps regard president trump as an aberration. It was notable yesterday in the statements from various world leaders. That even some of those who had been broadly sympathetic. Boris johnson here in the uk. Benyamin netanyahu and israel both used the wood disgraceful right. We'll donald trump's got less than two weeks left office or whether you're boris johnson. Or benjamin netanyahu or some of these republican leaders in washington dc. They're all suddenly finding backbone and sort of moral certitude condemned donald trump when. He's basically on his way out the door. I would question for all those people including the ones in washington the politicians you know. Where was that sense of morality and two years ago three years ago when donald trump was well down this path already as we were just discussing a struggle now seems imminent full the soul of the republican party between what remains i guess of its traditional stoller decor and the sort of insurgent yahoo wing which has taken over in the last four years but is going to be a concern overseas that they might be more where this came from. I mean it is not inconceivable that a republican president could be elected for years from now it might even be donald trump again. Well on yes <hes>. Let's hope not but it is certainly conceivable. The republican would be elected president for years in the skull so conceivable by the way that the republicans would retake control of the house and the senate in two years so that that's not very far away so i think if you're an oversees observer if you're a diplomat in washington and want to maintain contacts with the relevant political parties in the united states. You certainly don't discount the republicans at this point and you don't discount what you called the nut wing element of the republican party. Because i think that trump base will remain there are seventy one million. Americans voted for donald trump. You know the the notion that suddenly because of yesterday mitch. Mcconnell on the leaders of the party be rediscovered by partisanship and cooperation. I think is a bit of a fantasy. They will do everything they can for the next two years to thwart joe biden's agenda and try to set themselves up for taking control in the house and the senate two years from now just quickly. If we're trying to be optimistic about this. Is that perhaps anything to the idea that there was something usefully humbling in yesterday's nonsense in the might at laced stop. Us correspondents and commentators from referring to yesterday's events as many of them did like it was something you would expect to see. In colombia or lebanon. Mark they actually be able to understand that no. This can't happen here. Indeed is maybe i'm not. I think we have a tendency to have a bit of a short memory and a sort of lack of ability to be introspective. So i think hopefully yesterday was a one off. It won't happen again. But the fact is that donald trump has stoked this sort of fear and hatred for four years now in his. He's built up a lot of resentment amongst his base against the establishment against democrats. And i think it's not going to go away overnight. Louis lucas there in conversation with an earlier this week

"He likes it when you talk that I'm Sullivan. Yes, I'd love it s welcome back to the program. I was sitting reading some of my tweet. You can follow me on Twitter address at Sullivan radios. Scott, says Tom, it was Trump that told his followers. Numerous times that Pence could change the outcome. Come on, man. That's what I'm telling you that it was a serious of people, if you if you go back to the YouTube video of all the festivities last Wednesday morning on the mall, and there was like I told you yesterday There were I found two or three of the speakers where evangelical Uh, preachers, and they were preaching about Jesus Christ and all it was very religion. Lot about religion, and but there were also people that were angry and mad and stirring up the crowd. They were very political. And then, um Don Jr got up there gave a speech. And then Rudy Giuliani. He's being quoted. He said it about something about, um We need, uh to go. Um To trial with combat or some something about combat. And then the president spoke. So there was a lot of people, but I mean, yes, they've been told by various people. That are either the president or his associates or Linwood or Sydney Pat? Oh City, pal. She's getting sued. Yep. Did you see where Dominion Is suing Sydney pal for $1.3 billion Well, maybe she can write a check for 1.3 billion and if it doesn't clear Sheikhoun claim that Hugo Chavez was involved somehow. So, Yeah, that I mean, the Trump base was lied to about How the The process works. And I believe the Democrat bases being lied to by the fact that they think that Donald Trump's gonna be impeached out before I go too far. I'm with Trey Gowdy on this. I think Chad programs a genius. Here's what can happen and I gotta ask you Those of you that are Trump supporters. Those of you that are not Trump supporters. They couldn't and you heard what Chad program said that it could they could write an article of impeachment. Yeah, In a surly is the middle of next week. Washington moves slow, but all it takes is an article of impeachment. And then they don't even have to have hearings. They could just say. All right, let's have a vote on this article of impeachment. So I think they could Impeach him again next week and like Chad, said of one of the reasons is to put a stain on his record as the only president. It'll put him in history books. The only president to be impeached twice. But that doesn't mean again. Remember that the word impeachment is a Basically a charge. It's a prosecutor saying we are indicting you for this crime. They are indicting the president for whatever the article of impeachment, says. That doesn't mean that he's guilty. That doesn't mean that he's thrown out and I doubt seriously That they are going to be able to. They'll get it out of the house if they want to. And I also get what Chad was talking about. In fact, it's a it's going to put the Republicans in a little bit of because they're so was he But some of them won't know what all talks. What do I do? Do I vote for this? We're doing about what's gonna happen because they're so afraid of the maggot crowd. That if they vote for impeachment, they're doomed. And the next time they run, they think They're afraid of the maggot crowd. Are they vote against it? And then the other people in their district go. You was So it's a strategy to Nancy's trying trying to make a point. Embarrass the Republicans in the House. It will not get 67 senators. To convict him. I don't care how fast they move so once again, it's a total waste. Of energy and time, and I think Nancy knows that, and she's lying to her base. 855295 66 100, John Sparks, Nevada. Hello, John. Thank you, Tom. For taking my call. Appreciate it. You bet. I think we almost witnessed the very historic moment. If Donald Trump at actually locked arms with the Group that went to the capital and march down there as the figurehead and actually called for massive. You know, he's got 75 million supporters supposedly means he called for everybody to come to Washington. He could have actually, I believe advanced into the capital and just occupied the capital. Permanently, You know, I mean, everybody would have eventually just been sharing that he took over the congress. You know, in the name of the I guess, Republican party. I'm not sure what? Yeah. I mean, he got that opportunity. But then he ducked back into the White House. And basically he just sent those people to their doom. They're all gonna be arrested. John. I'm glad you said that. Did you see the video that's out? Off Trump family and the president and Don Jr and Eric Kimberly. All the group and they were. They were in kind of a tent facility right there on the lips. And they were in there watching the video of the crowd marching up to the Capitol in and occupying the capital in their in their dancing and smiling And I thought that I thought, Oh, my God. They used to miss ponds. They're using these people. Yeah, agitation. It was done on the college campuses. You probably had to go against the writers, but they had a lot of agitators. Come on the college campus like Donald Trump still up the students and they go take over the student union building. That's what it looked like. The guy's got his Feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk, and, you know, that was typical. This smoking a cigar. You know, some senior at the colleges right? They occupied the chancellor's office. I talked a little bit about it talked about it yesterday because I was on a college campus and I saw the agitators and I saw how it only took ah handful of them to get a crowd really into a frenzy. I saw it, Um, Mass Psychology is a lead somewhere. Well, it's a funny thing how people reacted in crowds so If he had done over this is this is the other problem I have. I understand. People are not constitutional scholars, but they say they're quick to say I'm for the Constitution. Well, then at least peruse it and find out that the Congress has no way to change. The vote. I mean, if if the vice president of the United States could change the vote of all the states Then why not just have the vice president pick the next president? And I mean, Joe Biden said. Donald Trump is the duly elected president and Mike Pence said Joe Biden is the duly elected president. And four years from now, Um Kamila Harris is going to say who is the duly elected? She can't pick the president. Pence can't pick the president. And so I don't know how it got into people's heads, that this was going to be something that would actually happen. I'm fascinated by all right. I get it. Donald Trump is really not a dictator material.

"And and your family. Thank you, sir. I have an issue with what Lindsey Graham said. That he has done everything he can for Dawn Trump. And Throughout his presidency. Lindsey Graham hasn't issued any subpoenas. With the Russia probe. That's not what he means. I'm sorry. That's not what Lindsay girl. What Lindsey Graham Means is he tried to get Trump just tone it down. He tried to get Trump to behave. According to Washington norms, he tried to rein Trump in and get trump too. Behave more like a Washingtonian, but he just couldn't do it. He gave it everything he's got. He wasn't talking about helping Trump defeat his enemies. Okay. How come he hasn't Issued any subpoenas for the Dominion Machines or the because he desires a career. In the Washington political establishment post Trump Okay, This is Ah. I've been explaining this yesterday and today. I mean, if you want a career in Washington if you want a career in the Washington political class You. You will divorce yourself from Maga. You will divorce yourself from Trump. You might even you might even go Try toe. Talk about a great guy. Kim Jeong Eun is Whatever you do, you have to you have to distance yourself from Donald Trump.

He was trying to get Trump re elected. He was playing God for trumps everything. What do you mean? Why he hasn't Stood up for Trump. That's what guarantee you he thinks he stood up for trump more than anybody else in the Republican Party. That's what he meant. He gave it his all He tried. He tried, but it's just it's it's it's gone beyond his ability to Help. Okay? Now. Look, don't misunderstand my tone. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not yelling at you. I'm not I'm not making fun of what you're saying. I'm your you're asking a legitimate question, and I'm giving you the real answer. You think helping Trump would have been subpoenaing Trump's enemies, exposing the people that were involved in the coup like he said he was going to do that, and that's a proper definition of help. But that's not what Senator grand means. When he talks about he did everything he could. Well, he's not even talking to you. When he says that he's talking to Schumer. He's talking to the Democrats. He's talking to media. Hey, look, I tried to help. I tried to get this guy reined in. I tried to make him more like us, and I really thought I was succeeding, but it didn't work. Well, I'm just I'm just saying that that he should have been subpoenaing. Under oath. The Dominion. People and the The Elected officials. Who are you? You know, the Dominion people are now talking about suing. People for defamation of character and they're going to go after Sidney Powell. They claim they're going toe to toe Linwood they claim On and because they think they've been defamed. They think that they have they have And tarred and feathered improperly. That's that's that's where that stands. They filed suit against Sydney today. See, I told you even when I don't know that some things for sure gonna happen. It happens. They filed suit deficits in a defamation suit. $1.5 billion. Over a billion dollars. What Now Sidney Powell does not have a billion dollars. So there's obviously some symbolism in that. But Dominion. You gotta look at who they've got on their side out there, Bob. They've got the entire Democratic party. They've got the Georgia governor and lieutenant governor or secretary state. They've got Venezuela. They've got the ghost of Hugo Chavez. And you want Lindsey Graham to subpoena them, and Lindsey Graham can look at what they're doing.

Pro-Trump mob storms the US Capitol, touting 'Stop the Steal'
"So we walked through how we got here. But it doesn't quite do justice to that queasy feeling you got when you saw people marching through the halls of congress and breaking down doors when you saw crowds of people cheerfully waving their flags from the capitol balcony. So i wanna bring. Abc's chief white house correspondent. Jonathan karl and abc senior. National correspondent. Terry moran terry what did a day like. This mean for the united states of america. What do you take away from it. A dark day for the country and i think most people feel that way. This is one of those days that that that will remember and that will be remembered. I if it fades into the mist of history. I'll be surprised because it is something that's never happened this this mob. What does it mean it means. We got through this election. By the skin of our teeth they failed to attempt to obstruct the congress. This failed insurrection. Only underscores how crucial the task before us is for our republic. Joe biden one. Absolutely no doubt about that. But if we're not for the person of mike pence and mitch mcconnell maybe in a couple of other people you know. This mob might have represented the end of the democracy. That's what they wanted. They wanted to stop the certification counting of electoral votes certified by fifty states and give the election to their guy donald trump. Nobody knows what the hell is going on. There's never been anything like this. We will not let them. Silence your voices. we're not gonna let it happen one thing. I was struck by the chance. Fight for trump fight for trump not fight for america. This is a movement in our country and it reached a terrible bloody apex at the cap. Very jonathan karl. I mean you were keeping track of of not just congress not just washington but like inside. The white house has a switch flipped in washington when it comes to how people see the president and his his mission here. My sense is that we are looking at the end of the trump era. All i can say as count me out. Enough is enough of tried to be helpful. I think you saw a moment here. Where donald trump after a string of losses that led to this day loss on november third the losses in in georgia and the senate races in good conscious object to the certification of these electors not to mention the override of of of the veto. That happened On on new year's day You know the president has has seen a a series of things that haven't happened throughout his presidency. Which is losses at the hands of republicans. If you vote to overturn these elections. Wouldn't it be the opposite of what states rights. Republicans have always advocated for them. This would do m- the electoral college forever. And there were certainly a lot of speculation. i think we we had spoken about the possibility of donald trump going back to mar-a-lago and mounting a comeback or at least becoming a kingmaker in the republican party. I after yesterday to those who wreaked havoc in our capital. Today you did not win. Violence never wins. Freedom wins and this is still the people's house. I don't really think donald trump As republican kingmaker is is a likely scenario after after january. Six or after january twentieth. Does it go beyond that jump. Because you know you heard terry talking about mitch. Mcconnell in even mike pence these forces that were kind of constraining president trump. But how far could that go. I mean what kind of constraints could we see. On president trump going forward. It turned out that it was not his orders that got the national guard into washington. Dc you've got people resigning out from under him overnight. Essentially saying were sickened by all this. And now we're even giving talk about like the twenty fifth amendment. Is that a serious possibility. I there is We we have confirmed. There have been members of the cabinet. Who have had conversations about the twenty fifth amendment that would be effectively removing the president because he is mentally incompetent mentally unable to do the job. those conversations are happening and they're happening not just among the cabinet where it's relevant but also among The president's allies some of the president's allies on capitol hill But that's a. That's a really steep climb. That is an extraordinary thing. You would need in a vice. President can submit a declaration to congressional leaders saying the president is unfit for the job. The president now can contest that and if the vice president and cabinet persist that would lead to a vote in congress but that has never happened before under circumstances such as these now. That's a real long shot. But it just gives you a sense of where we're at and how how worried people very close to donald trump are that those conversations are in fact happening. I'm sure that there are responsible members of the cabinet. Who right now are thinking about. What are their obligations under the oath that they took. And they're not thinking about those things they should be dairy whose complicit in what we just saw i mean you know. I think that's the question that it's going to be weighing on a lot of people going forward here is. Is it enough to say. I condemn violence. But i do believe this. Election was a sham with without any evidence whatsoever like what are the legacies of essentially everyone else in washington stemming out of these events well i think as senator ben sasse republicans nebraska put. It lies have consequences. America isn't hatfields and mccoys. Blood feud forever. america's union. There are a lot of reasons to vote for donald trump. There are lots of reasons to vote against joe biden or against hillary clinton but to tell the american people lies That the election was stolen by some combination of software companies Hugo chavez out of the grave and i don't know the bigfoot that has consequences and to stir it up and drive people to the point of you're telling people they're stealing your country from you. They're stealing your country. They're going to take your guns and they're gonna. They're gonna slaughter babies and kidnap them and put them in a file rings and all the rest of it to wind people up like that. What do you think is going to happen seriously. Especially under the leadership of donald trump. Who has a gift for bloody language as a gift for stirring people up. But we're going to try and give our republicans the weak ones because strong winds. Don't need any of our help. We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country he's in march to the capitol and he said show you aren't gonna win by weakness it takes strength. Be strong up there. You know that whole rhetoric of of brutishness in violence and the fist is is the real power anybody who went along with that and plenty. Did the american people may very well judge you to be complicit but i would just say. I'm not as sanguine as john about this is all over. You know these kinds of movements sometimes take fuel from an event like this a lot of republicans. Now have a taste for this kind of this kind of politics. Look what happened in the house. Some of the people who breach the capital today we're not trump supporters. They were masquerading as trump supporters. And in fact were members of the violet. Terrorist group antifa more than half of house. Republicans voted to nullify the election after after the mob attacked the capital. That tells you that. I think this is a long way from being dead.

"Home from my personal experience on the ground in Pennsylvania Buck I have no idea how any person Democrat or Republican, and I mean this and certify the race in Pennsylvania. I mean everything that I just mentioned about unconstitutional changes to election system to our electoral process here. Last minute on the go and add to that, like we're putting together a new audit of the vote numbers using Pennsylvania's Own reported numbers at a precinct by precinct level. And across the state of Pennsylvania. There's 120,000 boat deficit and what that means. Is there 120,000 more votes than voters statewide, right? The people who cast ballots My district alone. Perceived about. More votes than people who vote on election day and this data that can be taken The shore system in Pennsylvania. The short system is our official voter database and registry. Wow. But Wall Buck by law, the state of Pennsylvania. Cannot be certified until those numbers are record reconciled in the short system. And we just swore in 117 Congress yesterday, and those numbers have yet to be rectified. And Allegheny County hasn't updated the shore system since November, 24th. So this is clearly illegal. Uh, I don't know how anyone could certify the state of Pennsylvania. Uh This election was just does a disaster And every day that goes by with on that more information, it makes me less comfortable with the way that the election is conducted here in Pennsylvania. Sean, We're speaking of Sean Parnell. He was a candidate for congressional seat in Pennsylvania. 17th district is a former Army ranger. Bestselling author and dissolve. You Listen to show No buddy of mine. And Shawn, I need to ask you this. Why is it so you know, you tell me these numbers. For example, you mention Pennsylvania over 100,000 more votes than voters. What is the explanation for this? Because I feel like there's You know, One of one of the problems is that there are these real objections and real fraud. Let's let's call them indicators that have been all mixed in with the You know, all the cracking is coming, and there's a you know, Hugo Chavez was hanging out with Pol Pot and they hacked into machines and they flew them to Mars. And it was all this nonsense out there, too, And it is nonsense. And then there's the real stuff. The nonsense is making it harder to get answers on the real stuff. So to do that, we have to ask the question. Well, what would the other side say about this? I mean, it seems like it couldn't be any more clear. You have over 100,000 Morva oats than voters in just the state of Pennsylvania. What is the explanation for that? Or or do they just say the data is wrong? Well, so they could so way. Asked for a response from the secretary of state, and she basically said exactly what you just said. Oh, yeah. You guys are wrong. But we're not wrong. We used Pennsylvania's own numbers that precincts reported in the state of Pennsylvania. And we use the source system, which is again Pennsylvania's official voter registry. So our numbers are airtight were absolutely correct. With secretary of state in Pennsylvania would likely say is, you know Allegheny County hasn't officially reported all their numbers for she had. You know there was a pandemic more mail in ballots than they were used to dealing with. It takes time. But here's the deal. It's been what, over 2.5 months since the election was done. Allegheny County hasn't updated the short system and the state of Pennsylvania since November. It is against the law to certify race until those until those numbers are reconciled. So why, then, that the Pennsylvania secretary of state along with Governor Wolf certify the race in November? How could they started by the race without reconciling those numbers? There's they there is simply no explanation that they could have. That would be sufficient or the amount of misconduct and I would go so far as to say corruption. We're seeing here in the state of Pennsylvania. It's systemic. And but this what I just told you about the voter deficit to meet. All of this will come out in the report that we're releasing tomorrow, but but this is just the tip of the iceberg. It looks like and again, we can substantiate this. But the secretary of State of Pennsylvania secretary booked far allowed certain left wing groups to have access administrative back access to the source system again. The official voter registry, the state of Pennsylvania, and granted the madman access to give Some access to other left wing groups. That's unprecedented. It's unprecedented, and so I don't know how anyone Conservative by the race in Pennsylvania and sold many of these questions were answered. And it s so just circle back to your initial question. If Senator Cruz that draws Holly If he's 11 senators in this 10 Day audit can can somehow make that happen and help us answer those questions. Well, I think you could do a lot of good for this country because Leave me. A lot of people feel right now, like their votes did not matter like their votes were canceled out by illegal votes like elections moving forward won't matter in Man. We gotta get answers to this stuff now, because if if you think that the radical left Was good at manipulating the system, the further their own goals in 2020. They'll get better in 2022. It will be even better in 2024. So we've got it like At the end of the day, But the constitution either matters or it doesn't laws and statutes either matter or they don't and all I'm trying to say I mean the left. That's all we're trying to overturn an election. That's absolutely not true. I'm just trying to defend the election. I'm trying to make sure that laws were followed and it looks like an Allegheny County. They weren't Um, there's so much misconduct in this race and in Pennsylvania, but I don't even know where to start. I mean, I didn't think 10 minutes is enough in an interview to even talk about it, and that's unfortunate. But hopefully that the debate in the house and the Senate will give us some answers and some clarity moving forward because I think that people deserve it. Give us give us some sense of what When you say that you're releasing a report tomorrow, so people are getting a little preview. But here on this show, how did you bring together this report? What is it looking at? And then just just give us the you know the the executive summary top line findings that you can As of now? Well, we commissioned a former intelligence analyst. This person wants to remain anonymous because they have a small business and they don't want they don't want to be targeted by the left and harassed. But all of the information that we have in this report will be sourced with links from people and people don't trust Me And you know what? I don't trust me. I want you to go and think critically and get this information on your on your own. All of that All of our source material will be in the report so people can go see with their own two eyes. It will show you the voter deficits and voter deficit just means more votes than actual voters who showed up were voted on Election day. It will show you Left wing access in 2016 to the shore system in 2020. We've had multiple requests for information to the secretary of state in Pennsylvania. They've all fallen on deaf ears. Silence crickets from the state of Pennsylvania. So we don't The truth is, we don't know what left wing organizations had access to the source system in 2020, But I bet you it's worse than 2016. And another thing that we found was incredibly concerning was that Allegheny County was removed..

Last minute on the go and add to that, like we're putting together a new audit of the vote numbers using Pennsylvania's own reported numbers at a precinct by precinct level. And across the state of Pennsylvania. There's 120,000 vote deficit and what that means. Is there 120,000 more votes than voters statewide, right? The people who cast ballots in my district alone. Perceived people found. More votes than people who vote on election day, and this is data that can be taken. The short system in Pennsylvania. The short system is our official voter database and registry. Hi but Wall Buck by law, the state of Pennsylvania. Cannot be certified until those numbers are reckon reconcile in the short system. And we just swore in 117 Congress yesterday, and those numbers have yet to be rectified. And Allegheny County hasn't updated the shore system since November, 24th. So this is clearly illegal. Uh, I don't know how anyone can certify the state of Pennsylvania. Uh This election was just it was a disaster. And every day that goes by on that more information makes me less comfortable with the way that the election is conducted here in Pennsylvania. Sean, We're speaking of Sean Parnell. He was a candidate for congressional seat in Pennsylvania. 17th district is a former Army ranger. Bestselling author and dissolve. You Listen to show No buddy of mine. On Sean, I need to ask you this. Why is it so you know, you tell me these numbers. For example, you mention Pennsylvania over 100,000 more votes than voters. What is the explanation for this? Because I feel like there's You know, One of the one of the problems is that there are these real objections and real fraud. Let's let's call them indicators that have been all mixed in with the You know, all the cracking is coming, and there's a you know, Hugo Chavez was hanging out with pull pod and they hacked into machines and they flew them to Mars. And it was all this nonsense out there, too, And it is nonsense. And then there's the real stuff. The nonsense is making it harder to get answers on the real stuff. So to do that, we have to ask the question. Well, what would the other side say about this? I mean, it seems like it couldn't be any more clear. You have over 100,000 Morva oats than voters in just the state of Pennsylvania. What is the explanation for that? Or or do they just say the data is wrong? Well, so they could so way. Asked for a response from the secretary of state, and she basically said exactly what you just said. Oh, yeah. You guys are wrong. But we're not wrong. We used Pennsylvania's own numbers. That pretty sinks reported in the state of Pennsylvania. And we use the source system, which is again Pennsylvania's official voter registry. So our numbers are airtight were absolutely correct. With the secretary of state in Pennsylvania would likely say is, you know Allegheny County hasn't officially reported all their numbers for she had. You know there was a pandemic more mail in ballots than they were used to dealing with. It takes time. But here's the deal. Explain what over 2.5 months since the election was done. Allegheny County hasn't updated the short system and the state of Pennsylvania since November. It is against the law to certify race until those until those numbers are reconciled. So why, then, that the Pennsylvania secretary of state along with Governor Wolf certify the race in November? How could they started by the race without reconciling those numbers? There's they, there is simply no explanation. They could have. That would be sufficient or the amount of misconduct and I would go so far as to say corruption that we're seeing here in the state of Pennsylvania. It's systemic. And but this what I just told you about the voter deficit to meet. All of this will come out in the report that we're releasing tomorrow, but but this is just the tip of the iceberg. It looks like and again, we can substantiate this. But the secretary of State of Pennsylvania secretary booked far allowed certain left wing groups to have access administrative access to the source system again. The official voter registry, the state of Pennsylvania, and granted the madman access to give Some access to other left wing groups. That's unprecedented. It's unprecedented and so I don't know how anyone Conservative by the race in Pennsylvania and sold many of these questions were answered. And it s so just circle back to your initial question. If Senator Cruz that draws Holly If he's 11 senators in this 10 Day audit can can somehow make that happen and help us answer those questions. Well, I think you could do a lot of good for this country because Believe me. A lot of people feel right now, like their votes did not matter like their votes were canceled out by illegal votes like elections moving forward won't matter in Man. We gotta get answers to this stuff now, because if if you think that the radical left Was good at manipulating the system. The further their own goals in 2020 will get better in 2022. It'll be even better in 2024, so we've got it like At the end of the day, But the constitution either matters are a dozen laws and statutes either matter or they don't and all I'm trying to say I mean the left. That's all we're trying to overturn an election. That's absolutely not true. I'm just trying to defend the election. I'm trying to make sure that laws were followed and it looks like an Allegheny County. They weren't Um, there's so much misconduct in this race and in Pennsylvania, but I don't even know where to start. I mean, I didn't think 10 minutes is enough in an interview to even talk about it, and that's unfortunate. But you know, hopefully that the debate in the house and the Senate will give us some answers and some clarity moving forward because I think the people deserve it. Give us give us some sense of what When you say that you're releasing a report tomorrow, so people are getting a little preview. But here on this show, how did you bring together this report? What is it looking at? And then just just give us the you know the the executive summary top line findings that you can As of now? Well, we commissioned a former intelligence analyst. This person wants to remain anonymous because they have a small business and they don't want they don't want to be targeted by the left and harassed. But all of the information that we have in this report will be sourced with links from people if people don't trust Me And you know what? Fine. Don't trust me. I want you to go and think critically and get this information on your on your own. All of that All of our source material will be in the report so people can go see with their own two eyes. It will show you the voter deficits and voter deficit just means more votes than actual voters who showed up were voted on Election day. It will show you Left wing access in 2016 to the shore system in 2020. We've had multiple requests for information to the secretary of state in Pennsylvania. They've all fallen on deaf ears. Silence crickets from the state of Pennsylvania. So we don't The truth is, we don't know what left wing organizations had access to the source system in 2020, But I bet you it's worse than 2016. And another thing that we found was incredibly concerning was that Allegheny County was removed. From the election map database. In the short system, which is supposed to be publicly available at all times. In fact, a couple of counties were moved from that database. We believe that they were removed to prevent further scrutiny of from whatever on it that might come down the pipe. The two counties that were removed and again. I consent to the information on this and you'll see it in the report. Allegheny County in Philadelphia. Counting those are the only two counties in the state of Pennsylvania. I think right now. You can't go and pull up the election map to see how many mail in ballots were cast. How many provisionals were cast? How many tell me in person votes were cast. That information is critical that with regards to how they were going to reconcile this 120,000 votes statewide and 63,000 votes in my district on our part of Allegheny County alone. 48% of the voter deficit in the state of Pennsylvania happen in Allegheny County and without Allegheny County, available publicly on the election map, which again My P A statute is supposed to be available to.

Giuliani peddles election conspiracy theories and falsehoods.
"Georgia audit now. Complete the hand count of nearly five million votes reaffirming biden the winner. The first democratic presidential candidate to win the state in nearly thirty years. There was news today about michigan as well where the president lost by about one hundred and forty eight thousand votes. we've now learned. The president has called hit called republican officials in wayne county home to detroit and michigan an eleventh-hour attempt to invalidate votes president trump calling on state. Republicans sleep tonight on your side. History will be on your side. You're conscious side and more knows when you go to meet your maker. Your soul is going to be very very war that along with legal challenges playing out in several states and a public campaign. Alleging voter fraud without evidence here to break it down for us. Chief white house correspondent. Jonathan karl jonathan. It is hard to know where to begin with all of the legal challenges that seem to spin each day. Let's backtrack just a little bit in michigan. With the on again off again certification of votes by canvassers in wayne county and the president reaching out to state leaders. Where does all the stand well You know the the these two republican members of the canvassing board had. I said that they were not going to certify the election and they said they agreed to certify it and then we we learned that the president called them directly. You imagine that you are a local local official on a canvassing board In wayne county michigan and your phone rings and it's donald trump the president of the united states. So it's quite a bit of you know it's quite a bit of leverage with president has and he talked to them but the bottom line is they have certified. It's hard to see out. There are no kind of take back. So we accept the wayne county certification just as we accepted every one of our eighty three counties certification as it was properly made in public vote in public meeting And now moving forward and calling on the board of state canvassers to do the same now. The president is also going to be reaching out in meeting with the republican leaders of the state legislature in In michigan Bringing them to the white house for a meeting and this as his legal team is suggesting that maybe the direction they want to go is to go directly to state legislatures to essentially overrule. How their states voted And to send their own electors to the electoral college. American democracy cracked last night. But it didn't break michelle. I gotta say it's it's a it's a crazy idea. It's basically it's talk of nullifying in election. And i and i should point out that even though these republican leaders From michigan or to meet with the president They have both been on record saying that. That is not the way. It works in michigan state. Legislature doesn't simply you know. Look the other way and not do something on its own in the face of what happened On election day but yet here we are and in terms of all of this is any of its seen as any type of interference. We've got a president a sitting president as well as a candidate in an election. Making phone calls as well as meeting with people that are involved directly with the election. Well there's a lot of strange activity is ranging a lot of questions and we also had a One of i think probably the most bizarre press conference. I've ever seen tied to a president. Good afternoon and thank you. Very much for coming guiliani. And the president's legal team held a press conference at the republican national committee headquarters in washington that you know. Frankly i i. I really don't know how to describe it as the except to say it was unhinged and what emerged very quickly is because it's not a singular voter fraud in one state. This pattern repeats itself in a number. Isn't there was vast conspiracy talk. President trump won by a landslide. We are going to prove it and there was a conspiracy that included a the clinton foundation. That could have been mickey mouse. That could have been a dead person even a mention of hugo chavez who died i don't know i think about seven years ago. These people were further away than my cousin. Vinny was from witnessed. They couldn't see a thing. It would vary very strange. Strange press conference the real thing you need to know though. Is that the legal cases that have been brought by the by. The trump team are going nowhere. They have lost over and over again and they've been forced to withdraw lawsuits while there quickly running out of time on this and so with where we're at with this giuliani and his briefing in the president. Set to meet with people today from those canvassers in that area where republicans at what's the endgame. Republicans for the most part are saying that the president should be allowed to pursue his legal challenges. A as far as they may go to be proof but they're also not for the most part repeating these crazy allegations and privately. They're saying that they know the president's laws have you seen that. I haven't seen proof yet. How many lives do you think are at risk here if this transition remained stalled. Well look. We've you've heard the projections projections. Are that if nothing fundamentally changes between now and beginning february we're like to lose up to four hundred total of four hundred thousand lives and other one hundred fifty thousand lives but of course we're in the middle of the national health crisis we're in the middle of a pandemic and the world doesn't stop. Stir president-elect what do you think the president is doing. What are americans witnessing here. We choose my words think. They're witnessing an incredible irresponsibility credibly damaging messages being sent to the rest of the world about how democracy functions. And i think it is and because of the president's refusal to acknowledge What happened in the election. Well i don't know his motive. But i just think it's totally irresponsible. The team of president elect now biden is not getting the briefings. They're not coordinating with the warp speed team on the vaccine. All all the things that are going to have to be carried out by the biden administration They've been stonewalled by by the president's refusal to accept the election

Explainer 185: Bobi Wines red beret
"The current experiences of the United States should you would think they'd all nations for roll time from allowing celebrities usually entertainers or sports folk loose in the political sphere. It should of course be noted that the US is not not presently unique in succumbing to this fully Ukraine's. President is a comedian Liberia's of football Pakistan's. Prime Minister is a cricketer later. Dozens of lesser offices around the world are held by people who were helped into them buying name recognition acquired in other fields. Well let me tell you something. The answer is clear for the people to win. Politics as usual must lose so things considered it is not that all surprising that a popstar should fancy himself president Uganda Amazon Robert Trigger Alani Santana who performs under the name bobby wine was elected elected to Uganda's parliament in two thousand seventeen he stood as an independent in a by election in Dondo East and one big. I've come the parliament at a very sensitive time. I've just taken an oath to defend resolve and protect the constitution of the Republic Sleep of Uganda and that is going to be my major major goal right now since then wine has positioned himself for the next presidential election due in two thousand and twenty one among the symbols identifying his movement is the red beret worn by whine and his appearance it bears an emblem of of a clenched fist over a map of Uganda and the Motto People Power Our power but not for much longer if a new rule announced by Uganda's the government is observed a useful regulation has been discovered under which it is against the law for civilians to sport military clothing and some units of the Ganden People's defence force notably its military police wear red berries therefore the wearing of the red beret by non soldiers is henceforth punishable by up to five years in the clink. Bobi wine is among those skeptical that this decision is exclusively motivated by a desire to protect the integrity of the Ugandan army's insignia. It is wind said a sham. It is a blatant attempt to suffocate a successful threat to the autocratic status quo. This is pretty obviously correct. It also prompt the interesting question of exactly Walt Uganda's powers that be scared off at which point joint a recap of Uganda's powers that be or more accurately is this area peaceful full in spite of the nobody would start with a piece of Uganda Yoweri Musevenei now seventy five has been president of Uganda since one thousand nine hundred eighty six and plans to run again in two thousand and twenty one by the standards of Ugandan presidents most of any hasn't done a bad job but those standards were set by Idi Amin and Milton Obote both mad and terrible men Mussolini any to his credit played a considerable role in toppling both however as is invariably the case with overstaying and under challenged leaders. Musevenei has become complacent and his government corrupt Transparency International's global corruption index ranks Uganda slightly less bent than as a John which is basically owned by one family and slightly more so than the Central African Republic which is barely governed at all Uganda's population is young young more than three quarters of its people have been born during Musevini's rule and did he is restless certainly sufficiently so to take its chances with sorry pop singer. It's what they bring me. Wine can and claim reasonably that the leap from musician to politician is not in his case a long one. He has been keen campaigner on several issues and many the songs he has recorded in his studio in Cam. What you're a disheveled neighborhood of Kampala have addressed social injustice to the extent that in August he he was charged with intending to alarm annoy or ridicule President Musevini. Yeah this is not the only legal jeopardy presently hanging over wine he also faces charges of incitement to violence and treason and potentially a life sentence. If convicted wine claims that these charges are politically motivated and it would be very far from the first time that Musevini the people acting on his behalf have attempted to arrest opponents into submission invoking article twenty nine of the Constitution. We've got Dante's every citizen the right to assemble and demonstrate we are going to do this peacefully and take me on on the clube wine says he and his supporters. I will continue to wear the red beret. This is arguably a missed opportunity wine cooed by choosing something else. Just striking have have highlighted the silliness of Viennese edict and jettison the baggage associated with this particular item of Hillary in non-military circles. St Red Berry is an almost invariable choice of revolutionary posers and or populist scoundrels from Hugo Chavez in Venezuela to Julius Melena. Amo in South Africa wine would be within his rights admittedly to retort that it costs more of a dash than the disheveled floppy brimmed Bush hat long favored favored by Mussolini and also if it comes to a rap battle on the strength of Musevini's endeavors in this realm wine will up.

Venezuela in crisis
"Venezuela is a country in freefall as economic mismanagement an international sanctions. Combine to create desperately difficult times for its citizens as global debate centers, on who's to blame successive, socialist governments or countries like the US, who are putting the squeeze on the government of nNcholas Maduro, people are struggling for basics like food and medicine. US correspondent Zoe Daniel has recently returned from Venezuela as gentlest Venezuela is not an easy country to work in media vases, difficult to get and even with them in hand report is closely monitored by the authorities and government backed armed groups called collective owes rooms need to be checked for bugs sensitive interviews must be discussed in hushed tons movements should not be telegraphed and should never happen after dark time spent in each location needs to be limited violent crime is also close to the w-. I in the world and much of the story that needs to be told is in the slums, or barrios, where poverty hunger and disparition exacerbates that risk. There are also the gangs who trade in drugs, and ruled the roost in recent months, escalating political tensions have added the risk of protest rallies, turning violent clashes between opposition activists and government troops and proxies, all of this means that the stories of ordinary Venezuelans are infrequently told but when you give them the chance this sentiments a clear. Something by women and men young and old have to realize the critical situation, the country, is going through these days, hunger, misery, repression and unemployment. We spent a week in the slums of Caracas and surrounds talking to people about life and politics. Well, I. Research says that nine out of ten people in Venezuela, count afford enough food, because of hyperinflation, which is rented the local currency almost valueless government food parcels that handed out monthly a dwindling. Sometimes now, they come only every second or third month, and they're often missing case applies like milk. There's widespread frustration and people are starting to voice it. Even with the risk of recriminations, Ropeway sediment Settimio, nothing seems to improve it all gets worse. So I think they should be change to give the opportunity for someone else to rule the situation has created a window of opportunity for opposition later. One guy who was backed by the US, and ustralia among dozens of other countries when he declared himself president after twenty eighteen elections that are widely condemned as flawed, although you get the sense that it's a case of right place. Right. Time rather than one guy DOE, having specifically captured the public imagination ROY Innis weather. It's not just a problem for Venezuela, what the international community has done so far is very important. The recognition of our constitution and of me as interim president Australia did that to what's important. Now is to keep the pressure up the dictatorship won't voluntarily leave. And fortunately them enduro government wouldn't respond to the concerns raised by those who can't get enough food or medicine at a time when political division globally runs deep Venezuela's, plied attracts, at a response almost all of the Venezuelans that I've encountered blame the economic collapse, on mismanagement by successive governments who've nationalized, assets, subsidized goods and services failed to manage the country's oil revenues and allowed endemic, cronyism and corruption. They don't always mention soc. Realism specifically many still harked back formerly to the days of logistics, under, former president Hugo Chavez. But for many observers Venezuela's become a symbol of the broader failure of the socialist model, that's gained particular traction as lift and right retreat to their corners, the world over. However, defenders of socialism, attack outside nations for interfering in Venezuela, particularly the United States, which is imposed harsh sanctions and an embargo on oil Russia, China and Cuba continue to back the Madero administration. And that's a K driver of US involvement. The big picture issues, but for ordinary Venezuelans who've seen they country go from the richest in Latin America to a basket case they just want something to change, so they can feed their families, but from Caracas that's North American correspondent, Zoe Daniel.

Now, they're providing gig fueled apps and solutions that exceed expectations and help businesses perform Comcast business beyond fast. Here's one sign of how deep the crisis in Venezuela is it's healthcare system has collapsed. Regional officials say a measles outbreak that began. There was not controlled. It's now spreading throughout South America, and some basic medical supplies and medications, even surgical gloves are no longer available in clinics in Venezuela. And peers Jason Bogan has more by just about every measurement possible. Venezuela's once impressive medical system has fallen apart the Latin American nation with the largest oil reserves in the world is now dealing with an ongoing measles outbreak that last year sick and thousands of people and killed at least seventy four clinics have run out of basic surgical supply. Lies and anti-biotics routine. Vaccination campaigns have been suspended even patients dependent on saving HIV medications have seen supplies of their anti-aids drugs. Disappear. Dr Kathleen page recently visited camps in northern Brazil for some of the three million Venezuelans who fled the country that was not a doctor in the nineteen eighties. When the as make started. But I know what happened and I felt that in these wars I was going back to the nineteen eighties page in infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins Medical school says she was shocked to see aids. Patients from Venezuela dying of opportunistic, infections, honig diarrhea infections in their brain things that that we know are treatable and preventable page traveled to the Brazilian Venezuelan border late last year as part of a fact-finding trip for Human Rights Watch I interviewed over one hundred people crossing the border, and I would ask them. Why did you come ubiquitously? The answer was food or healthcare. Many people told her they'd been surviving for months on a diet. Only of Yuka a rugged shrub that has a potato like root in the late nineteen ninety s Hugo Chavez promised free universal healthcare in Venezuela and the country quickly met most of the US healthcare targets by twenty ten but since then the country's much fond in healthcare system has collapsed. Infant mortality the rate at which kids under the age of one or dying is widely viewed as a barometer of a nation's overall health. A recent study in Lancet global health found that the nation's infant mortality rate has risen all the way back to where it was in the nineteen ninety s Jimmy Garcia is one of the authors of that study choking.

Venezuela’s Opposition Gears Up for Major Protests
"To come. Now. The opposition Venezuela is gearing up for another day of demonstrations today against President Nicolas Maduro, they'd been cold by the country's opposition leader and self-declared. Interim president one Guido in an effort to push the military to turn against leader Nicolas Maduro, Mr. guidos claims have been backed by more than twenty countries, including the United States. They've called on president Maduro to step down and call early elections. Request the president is flatly refused. Our correspondent all Garin is in Caracas the capital, and she told me more about these upcoming demonstrations build by one Guido as the biggest in the history of Venezuela. Well, he certainly made some very bishops predictions about what the turn is will be. We do expect it to be large. There is a real sense here that there is a head of steam building behind the opposition leader one Guido, the timing of the protest on Saturday is important a deadline was issued by major European countries. Four Saturday saying that if President Nicolas Maduro did not call fresh elections by then then this would trigger further recognition of fun does. So we are expecting Britain France Spain and Germany to recognize him on Saturday. If new elections are not called. There are pro government demonstrations planned as well. That sounds a little ominous in terms of the potential for violence. What Saturday is an important adversary Serie for supporters of the socialist government here. It's the twentieth. Anniversary of the coming to power of the late Hugo Chavez, so they were planning to Mark that day. It's possible. That the two groups will clash tomorrow, we had smaller demonstrations earlier this week a client of a lunchtime protests that was called by fond Guido, and we did see some supporters of the president. I was at that time as well on the streets. And certainly he does still have support. There are some very entrenched areas of support for him, for example, among the military leadership and many of whom are believed to have a vested interest in his survival and the protesters, what's your feeling are they all supportive of one guy Widodo are they simply anti president Madero. I think it's a bit of both. I think certainly people here among the activists community have been looking for a standard bearer, they see on quite was representing the possibility of change. I think there is a sense that will many that really what they want is the end of nNcholas Maduro they have had enough after all of the ruinous economic policies that have been introduced in the last few. Two years. We have been speaking to some of those this week who have been out taking part in the protests at one is a twenty five year old activist called Federica Romar. She's also the mother of a six month old baby girl, and I asked her why as a young mother it was so important for her to be part of this drive for a new Venezuela. It's important to me. Because even though with we've been through so much already. You know, it's it's important to me to grow up in Venezuela that I know it's there it's important from tool forgot to grow up in a Venezuela. Where people we used to be the happiest people on earth. You know? How do you feel that? There is a real prospect of change this time because there have been moments in the past there were protests in two thousand seventeen for example. But nothing really changed. How do you see things now? I think this year is definitely different. We definitely have hoped this time because everything is on our site right now, everything is on our side legally constitutionally time is perfect. So I am certainly
