Former U.S. attorney Joe diGenova reacts to Hannity's interview with Rudy Giuliani - Duration: 8:00.
for full disclosure as always he has done some legal work for me in the past
he and his wife Victoria attended my radio show Christmas party and we did
share drinks together and we talked and we laughed good to see you sir you too
you know so much news was made in that interview indeed and you saw the
coverage let's start there your reaction what does it say
what does it say to the American consumer about the news industry in
general in this country well I think when you take a look at the White House
Correspondents Dinner and the conduct of the people there and when you look at
the absence of coverage of something so major as your show last night it's
pretty clear Sean that you're right American journalism is dead it's dying
it's in a coffin and the fact is these people are not journalists anymore there
are people with an agenda they want to prove something they don't want to find
something out they want to say something on their own and this is an example of
it it's it's really a sad day a sad sad day Joe we've had massive surveillance
abuse unmasking abuse we've had the leaking of raw intelligent elegance
Samantha power I'm asking a person a day and then we have the bigger scandal Rudy
Giuliani is right Hillary committed felonies Hillary
obstructed justice James Comey Peter struck Lisa Paige Andrew McCabe and
Loretta Lynch they rigged that investigation then of course so they're
supposed to be Trump Russia collusion it turns out Hillary is paying a foreign
national to get use Russian sources that turn out to be debunked and then those
that false political document that dossier is using for a FISA warrant to
spy on an American associated with the Trump campaign in the lead-up to an
election they're virtually silent on the biggest abuse of power scandal in the
history of the country well I don't think there's any doubt that that
judgment you've just made is absolutely correct it is quite evident now that the
Muller probe is illegitimate this effort to attempt to interview the President of
the United States has now reached the point where there's just no
at all that the president should refuse to be interviewed by them and that's
because it's clear that the month that Muller and his team of Democratic thugs
are acting in bad faith they know that the president under Department of
Justice rules cannot be indicted they have no evidence to indict him the
office of robert muller was created by rod Rosenstein illegally there he
mentioned no crime to be investigated all of this leads to the ultimate
conclusion that the perpetuation of this investigation by Muller is doing grave
damage to the United States it's doing grave damage to United States foreign
policy it's doing grave damage to US law enforcement because of the thug-like
tactics that have been used in the mana Ford case and in the Cohen case and it
points to something that really is disturbing
after watching the Deputy Attorney General of the United States Rod
Rosenstein accused Congress of trying to extort him and others in the department
by conducting legitimate constitutional oversight I would say that between
Muller and Rosenstein and the absent Attorney General god bless him we have a
very serious crisis in American federal law enforcement oh I agree and I think
it's the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in our history yeah I
rot Rosenstein a second not so easy wrote a letter said the FBI could never
recover if James Comey stayed at the helm so he would be a witness on that
part of it Karev also discovered that rod Rosenstein we talk about the the
FISA applications that relied on unverified uncorroborated a dossier paid
for by Hillary Clinton they never told the judge it was paid for by Hillary and
then he went on to say that if you have there are false information presented to
a FISA Court there's serious consequences isn't he implicating
himself that same statement when he said that he's not going to be extorted of
course the problem here for rod Rosenstein and he has multiple conflicts
of interest he shouldn't be supervising this case he wrote the memoranda the led
to the firing of James Comey he signed the FISA applications
he continues to know personally care about Comey and Muller
and others he should be removed from this case
this is absolutely disgraceful and now he will pretend that he is above all of
this but when all is said and done mr. Rosen Stein represents a part of the
department that I thought we had lost a long time ago when the Obama
administration administration people left office but apparently they haven't
left office so we're headed for a showdown and that is every attorney that
I know says the president should never sit with Robert Muller Andrew Weissman
his pit bull with his atrocious track record his team of Democratic donors
only and if the showdown goes down and the president says no if they won't
agree to a proper written answers to legitimate questions which I don't think
they will at this point then that means that it's likely that Robert Muller will
then subpoena the President of the United States before a grand jury this
is where it gets somewhat legally a little bit tricky let's walk down that
road what happens when and what should the response be well first of all I
think that if Muller issued a subpoena to the president it would be an
unconstitutional subpoena since he knows the president cannot be indicted and
since he knows that the president is not a necessary witness to anything that he
is investigating it is clear that he would be using the grand jury subpoena
for only one reason to get testimony from the President to use in an
impeachment recommendation report to the Deputy Attorney General that is an
illegal use of a grand jury subpoena the president should resist it they should
take it all the way to the Supreme Court because under article 2 of the
Constitution all executive power rests in the President of the United States he
had he had ultimate authority to fire James Comey and he did the wrong
decision and of course the courts can always be wrong we know that it's got to
go all the way to the Supreme Court if he issues a subpoena let me make a
prediction Muller will never issue a subpoena why because he cannot win I
disagree with some of the comments of Judge Napolitano earlier about the fact
that that Muller will win ultimately on a subpoena Alton
let me just say this Muller will lose ultimately on a subpoena because it is
unconstitutional if it was rented and the president pled the fifth then they
would offer him immunity and then the perjury trap remains correct or not that
is apt technically correct but you cannot issue immunity to someone when
you are doing it illegally under the statute because the only reason he would
be giving him immunity would be to force testimony for an impeachment report
Muller does not have the authority to issue an impeachment report and he does
not have the authority to use a grand jury subpoena to get presidential
testimony for impeachment or any other criminal activity that never occurred
because he's dealing with the power of the president to fire people
so if Muller wants to have that fight and tie it up in the courts for six
months to a year he can do it but he will be doing a grave disservice to
himself because at this point Muller has become a cross between Madame Defarge
and Inspector Javert and it's an embarrassment all right Joe to Jennifer
always appreciate you being on the program

SHOCKING NEWS MORE THAN 7 MILLION FRAUD VOTERS ACROSS THE U S - Duration: 10:43.
SHOCKING NEWS: MORE THAN 7 MILLION FRAUD VOTERS ACROSS THE U.S.
A few months back there was a study discovering that there were more voters than the number
of voting age population in the U.S.
Well after a while that went under the rug and everyone let it slide.
However now we have a bigger problem.
This number is much bigger than the one before.
Around 7 million new fraud voters discovered.
The study has shown that there are around 7.2 million voters that have illegally voted
in multiple locations at a time.
After a few checks with the Kansas voter registration program, the results were confirmed.
The results gave an inside in 28 U.S. countries.
Many have a few hundred of these fraud voters, however some exceed above the others.
Georgia, North Carolina and Illinois have each around 600,000 of these ID's.
Further investigation has shown that some of these vote ID's have had fake birth dates
or just missing personal information.
They even went as far as making fake Social Security numbers.
The number is alarming and the people organizing this are not going to go off the hook.
The investigation is still active and more details will be released in the near future.
Share the news.
Let the people know that there are frauds invading their
right
to vote.

Innovation in the US Patent System [Fourth Branch] - Duration: 3:15.
Over the last few decades, the Patent and Trademark Office
has dramatically increased the number of patents it has issued.
At the same time, patent litigation has increased dramatically.
Alex Blumberg of our Planet Money team and NPR's Laura Sydell have this report on
a patent system that's been turned on its head.
When you talk about the patent system among techies in Silicon Valley, there's usually an audible groan.
If I say patent system what do you say?
I think it's just a way for lawyers to make money.
Josh Malone, inventor of Bunch O Balloons — a device that allows you to fill one hundred
water balloons in a minute — had some trouble enforcing a patent for his invention.
Josh invented the product and ran a very successful Kickstarter campaign in 2014.
It was very easy to copy and it was quickly copied by a company named Telebrands,
who started immediately selling a copycat product and,
within the first year of them selling the copycat product they made 40 million dollars,
just off of their own infringing product.
Even though the Patent Office gave Josh a patent for the invention,
he found himself having to defend the patent again and again in the PTAB — a court within the Patent Office.
Josh Malone actually has six issued patents that I'm aware of and they all relate to the Bunch O Balloons,
and Telebrands has filed eight petitions for what's called post-grant review at the PTAB.
If your product's worth tens of millions of dollars, you have to have the resources to fight it
because the patent's just not straightforward to enforce.
Josh ended up in the middle of a broader public debate about what patents should be granted
and how those patents are to be enforced.
Innovators like Josh need patents.
They need them in the way that everyone sees every week on the show Shark Tank —
where the venture capitalist asks the inventor, the very first question: "Do you have a patent?"
And sometimes they say, "No." And the response is, "Are you insane?
You just went on national television and gave away your idea.
There's no way we're going to invest now in you thousands if not millions of dollars."
There are huge problems when patents get issued by mistake because it prevents the entire public
from exercising their knowledge over the invention or using their knowledge over the invention.
So, this is a big debate that's currently going on in patent law, in patent economics, and patent policy,
of how do we tailor property rights in patents that actually do promote innovation?
70 percent of my revenue is going to litigation.
Why has Josh encountered so many problems with enforcing a patent for Bunch O Balloons
and how has that affected his work?

South Korea's top office denies reports of Trump U.S. forces reduction review - Duration: 1:57.
Weeks ahead of the maiden meeting between the leaders of Washington and Pyongyang, there
are reports of President Trump considering options to reduce the number of American troops
stationed in South Korea.
Seoul's top office dismissed such reports.
Kwon Jang-ho has our top story.
Seoul's Presidential office has dismissed reports that U.S. President Donald Trump had
requested plans to reduce American troop numbers in South Korea, describing them as 'not true'.
The Blue House's senior press secretary Yoon Young-chan released a statement on Friday
saying that President Moon's national security adviser Chung Eui-yong, who is currently in
Washington, had discussed this report with a key member of the U.S. National Security
Council... who flatly denied it, calling it "groundless."
The Pentagon refused to confirm the report, but a spokesperson said, "The Department of
Defense's mission in South Korea remains the same" and that their "force posture has not
changed."
The New York Times on Thursday quoted several unnamed officials, who said Trump had ordered
the Pentagon to draw up such plans.
The review is said not to be intended as a bargaining chip for North Korea's denuclearization
in Trump's upcoming summit with Kim Jong-un, but it is being considered as an option if
a peace treaty on the Korean peninsula is reached.
Although the sources declined to confirm whether Trump was considering a full withdrawal, they
said it was unlikely.
Trump has long criticized the costs of stationing the 28-thousand-500 troops in South Korea,
saying that Seoul needs to pay more towards those costs.
In March he even suggested during a fundraising speech that he wanted to pull out troops in
order to balance out the trade deficit.
Currently South Korea pays around 820-million dollars a year towards troop costs, about
half of the total cost of stationing U.S. forces on the peninsula, but that amount is
expected to increase with Seoul and Washington currently in negotiations over a new deal.

WW3 alert: US prepared to act against Beijing as tensions SOAR over South China Sea - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 2:11.
WW3 alert: US prepared to act against Beijing as tensions SOAR over South China Sea
US DEFENCE officials have warned China it will face consequences over its latest military
actions in the South China Sea.
Beijing has apparently installed anti-ship cruise missiles and surface-to-air missile
systems on three of its outposts in the disputed region, according to US intelligence reports.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said: "We're well aware of China's militarisation
of the South China Sea.
"We've raised concerns directly with the Chinese about this and there will be near-term
and long-term consequences."
Earlier, the US lodged a formal complaint with Beijing after Chinese nationals pointed
lasers at US military aircraft near a base in Djibouti in a number of incidents in recent
weeks.
Pentagon security chiefs has been grappling with lasers being pointed at aircraft for
decades but the recent incidents highlight US concerns about a Chinese military base
just miles from a critical US base in the east African state.
Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said: "They are very serious incidents.
"We have formally approached the Chinese government and we've requested the Chinese
investigate these incidents."
A US official said said that in a few instances, military grade lasers from the Chinese base
had been pointed at aircraft.
Djibouti is strategically located at the southern entrance to the Red Sea on the route to the
Suez Canal.
It hosts a US military base that is home to about 4,000 personnel, including special operations
forces, and is a launch pad for operations in Yemen and Somalia.

10 Spiritual Powers You Inherently Have Since Birth But Most Of Us Choose To Ignore - Duration: 6:22.
10 Spiritual Powers You Inherently Have Since Birth But Most Of Us Choose To Ignore
By Dylan Harper
If human beings only know how spiritually powerful they are, human suffering wouldn�t
be an issue. Only that people tend to chase another kind of power, that which makes others
their slaves.
But, to desire power over others is futile because, in the long run, when the tides turn
as they sometimes will, it is this very power that will cause it�s holder�s ultimate
downfall.
What humans should be aware of are the powers that they inherently owned but failed to give
importance. These powers are a given, and when used fully, wouldn�t make other people
as slaves but would liberate them, instead.
All we need to do is cultivate these powers through constant practice and application.
The process isn�t easy because more than discipline, it requires commitment and focused
intention.
Once you have mastered it, you not only become spiritually powerful but act as a light who
will guide others in finding their own spiritual powers.
10 Spiritual Powers You Inherently Have Since Birth But Choose To Ignore:
1. Your inner voice You have an internal voice that serves as
your inner guide and warns you when something isn�t right by making you feel uneasy.
Others call this inner guidance gut instinct or intuition.
Listen more to this inner voice because this can only be enhanced by thorough practice.
2. Your inner peace There is inner stillness inside each and every
single one of us.
Once you find your inner place of peace you can go there to recharge whenever you like.
The best way to discover this place within yourself is through meditation in a calm and
relaxing place, like a beautiful sit spot or a park.
There is power in solitude, especially when you�re out in nature.
By being alone, you�re able to think clearly and recharge yourself in the process.
3. Your ability to control your breath The shortest way to relieve your nerves of
stress is by taking deep long breaths.
Doing this for several minutes relaxes your mind and calms your soul.
When you�re calm, you�re able to vibrate higher and able to face anything that stands
in your way.
4. Your gaze Have you tried gazing at someone and having
them look in your direction? It�s because there�s power in your gaze.
There�s even called a �power gaze�, a gaze you can use when you want others to
give you a favor. It�s a gaze where you maintain an eye contact with the other person
without blinking and without appearing aggressive.
The secret is in keeping the eye contact longer and reducing your tendency to blink.
5. Your ability to connect with others You are given the ability to connect and communicate
with others. It�s a power most often ignored by people who have difficulty opening up with
others.
Use this power to reach out to your friends and loved ones. Having them by your side increases
your personal power too.
You can�t have one close friend if you can�t become one. Everybody needs one close friend
to share with the ups and downs of their life.
And when you�re powerless at times, they could be the source of your power.
6. Your capability to give You can always give these 3 things to others:
Your kindness, your smile and your labor.
You can reach out to others by offering yourself as a volunteer to some kind of selfless endeavor.
A homeless shelter or an animal shelter will benefit much from it.
Doing things that benefit others is a great way of increasing your energy and perceiving
yourself in a different way.
Without a doubt, you�ll feel much better after helping others out.
7. Your ability to choose You have the power to choose. This is much
bigger than you realize. In fact, solely this spiritual ability is enough for you to start
living the life you want.
You do not have to settle for things you don�t deserve. Don�t do things just because others
prefer to do it. Do things because you love doing them.
The more you do the things you love doing, the more powerful you�ll feel.
William Ernest Henley says, �I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul�.
There�s no greater power than that.
Owning your power is liberating. Don�t allow others to run your life. You alone hold the
power over it.
8. Your laugh The famous adage �laughter is the best medicine�
is timeless. Because it actually works.
There�s power in your laugh that the more you share it with others, the stronger your
bond will become.
Most of all, a good laughter is actually good for your physical well being.
9. Your ability to align with your higher self
Before coming into this world, your higher self has an intention that�s coded in your
spiritual DNA. Once you align yourself with this intention by following the path intended
for you, massive support will come your way.
The Universe will open up more opportunities and provide you the help that you need. Your
flame will be rekindled and you will just light up.
And that�s where your spiritual power will ultimately skyrocket.
10. Your creative juices You are creative because you came from a creative
God or Source.
If you don�t know what areas you�re good at, experiment and explore. Try anything that
makes you feel good.
Pouring your creative juices on a project helps you stay in the moment. And there�s
great power in staying in the moment.

FC Bayern ahead of Köln - Thomas Müller: The game will do us good - Duration: 1:55.
Manuel Neuer is more or less back in full training,
but he won't be in the squad for tomorrow's match at Köln – nor will Kingsley Coman,
Arjen Robben and Jerome Boateng.
Tomorrow will be Jupp Heynckes' last away Bundesliga game as coach,
but the Bayern boss is not concerned with nostalgia or a farewell tour.
His focus is on preparations for the meeting with the already relegated Billy Goats
- and they won't be any different to all the previous games under Heynckes:
It's about getting three points,
continuing our run and maintaining the positive tension,
particularly with a view to the cup final…
….that would crown what has been – despite the harsh semi-final exit to Real Madrid –
a magnificent season.
But for now it's about Bayern putting Real behind them and winning in Cologne,
which will be easier said than done:
We have a match against FC Köln tomorrow,
which will do us good.
We can play our football again.
It won't be easy to get over the Champions League game.
The more you think back to it, the worse it is and the more unbelievable
that we were knocked out.
So tomorrow's match could also act as a kind of therapy.
First and foremost, though, it's the start of the final stage of the season which culminates
with the cup final on 19 May in Berlin.

Could A Superbug Destroy Us All? - Duration: 7:44.
In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin, the first antibiotic.
No one knows how many lives have been saved by penicillin but it is estimated to be between
80,000,000 and 200,000,000, and it's still saving millions of people around the world
today.
Discovering penicillin led to the development of many more antibiotics that are used today
to treat all sorts of bacterial diseases.
But over time as some bacteria have mutated and become resistant to these antibiotics,
there are questions around how effective this medicine is, for future generations.
Do we have the ability to keep designing new drugs to fend off the continually morphing
bacteria?
Today we'll take a look, in this episode of The Infographics Show: What Big Thing is
on the Verge of Happening?
Microbes, which is short for microscopic organisms, are not big; they are very very small…so
small in fact, that they cannot be seen with the naked eye.
They are found everywhere on Earth, and they come in a number of variations: viruses, bacteria,
parasites, and fungi, and they've been around a long time.
Bacteria were some of the first organisms to emerge, with fossil evidence dating back
about 3.5 billion years.
While many microbes are either harmless or even beneficial to living organisms, some
can cause disease among humans, animals, and plant life.
They are known as pathogens, but you are more likely to have heard them referred to with
the household name, germs or bugs.
Microbes multiply in the body and produce harmful substances called toxins, which damage
tissues and organs.
Let's take a look at some of the common diseases caused by microbes.
Fungi can cause rashes such as athlete's foot, thrush, and ringworm.
From bacteria, we can pick up tuberculosis which affects the lungs; salmonella, which
is a type of food poisoning; and whooping cough, which also affects the lungs.
Common viruses are chicken pox, the common cold, and influenza or the flu.
And finally parasites which include tapeworms in the gut, giardia, an infection which causes
diarrhea, and malaria, a killer fever which mosquitos spread.
Since discovering penicillin, a naturally occurring antibiotic, we have developed many
more of these drugs, to help destroy or slow down the growth of microbes.
Antibiotics fight these infections either by killing bacteria or making it difficult
for the bacteria to grow and multiply.
So this is a lot of interesting information on small things, but what big thing is about
to happen?
These microbes are living creatures, and though our technology is highly effective and has
enabled us to create many different antibiotics to fend off bacteria, these little microbes
have their own defense mechanisms and can resist the effect of a drug, once they've
been exposed to it.
It's a term referred to as antibiotic resistance and it's the talk of the town.
Simply put, antibiotic or antimicrobial resistance is the ability for microbes to resist the
effects of drugs and therefore germs are not killed, their growth is not stopped, and infections
with resistant organisms become very difficult to treat.
So how big and bad is this situation?
Antibiotic resistance has been found in many different bacteria, some of which are the
cause of common problems like pneumonia, sexually transmitted diseases, or even food poisoning.
Germs can mutate and change to become resistant to a particular antibiotic, or adopt resistance-granting
genes from other species of microbe.
In some cases, doctors will prescribe more powerful drugs to try and counter the resistance
but this opens up the risk to additional problems such as kidney damage.
Popular Science reported in 2017, that at least 2 million people come down with antibiotic
resistant infections in America each year, and as many as 23,000 of these people die.
This adds around $20 billion to healthcare costs in the United States each year, and
is prolonging people's recovery from illnesses.
"Resistance limits the number of options we have to treat infections, which can mean
that someone may take longer or require more expensive interventions to treat," said
Keeve Nachman, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
in Baltimore.
A microbe that is resistant to commonly used antibiotics is called a superbug.
But not all superbugs are created equal.
Some are resistant to one or two, whereas others can be resistant to multiple drugs.
Their level of resistance determines where they sit on the superbug scale.
But what about the ultimate superbug that has a resistance to every drug we have developed?
We looked at some statistics on the website of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention
or the CDC, to see how bad this situation really is.
The CDC states that the full impact is not known, as there is no system in place to track
antibiotic resistance globally and that there is a need for urgent action.
Some statistics by region which the CDC have collated include: In the European Union, antibiotic
resistance causes 25,000 deaths per year and 2.5 million extra hospital days.
In India, 58,000 babies died in one year as a result of infection with resistant bacteria
passed on from their mothers.
In Thailand, antibiotic resistance causes more than 38,000 deaths per year and 3.2m
hospital days.
The main causes for antibiotic resistance are: 1.
Over prescription of antibiotics.
2.
Patients not taking the drugs prescribed.
3.
Unnecessary antibiotics used in agriculture.
4.
Poor infection control in hospitals.
5.
Poor hygiene and sanitation practices.
And 6.
Lack of laboratory tests…
So can we slow and eventually stop this growing resistance issue?
According to the CDC, we need to implement a number of counter measures to even have
a hope.
We need to improve labs so they can better understand bacteria and develop new and improved
drugs.
We need to collect and share data between countries so better policy decisions can be
made.
We also need to use antibiotics wisely by taking what the doctor prescribes.
And finally, we need to take measures to prevent infections and improve healthcare controls
and settings.
But some of you might be wondering, what about the superbug of all superbugs?
Maybe they are already among us.
Last year, the BBC ran a report about a superbug that could not be treated with 26 different
antibiotics, leaving a US woman dead.
The 70-year-old from Nevada had returned from a trip to India, with an infected swelling
in her right hip.
A CDC report said the infection was "resistant to all available antimicrobial drugs".
The women had repeatedly needed hospital treatment after breaking her right leg.
She got an infection within her bone, which then spread to her hip.
When she was admitted to the hospital on her return to the US, her immune system was in
overdrive, trying to fight the infection that was causing inflammation throughout her body.
This escalated, and ultimately she died from septic shock, which is organ injury and damage
as a result of infection.
The CDC determined that she was infected with klebsiella pneumonia, a bacterium that normally
lives in the gut without causing disease.
But this superbug was resistant to all 26 available antibiotics in the US!
In 2014, the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, set up a review to look into just
how bad the issue with antibiotic resistance and the emergence of superbugs is.
According to projections calculated by a team led by Jim O'Neill, the City economist,
the number of superbug deaths globally could skyrocket to as many as 10 million people
a year.
O'Neil stated that the threat to the human race from deadly new disease strains resistant
to drugs is "more certain" than that from climate change.
He laid out a Doomsday scenario, warning that 300 million people could die in the next 35
years from currently treatable conditions, unless there is a global effort to find new
treatments and reduce overprescribing.
So, are these superbugs the next big thing that's on the verge of happening?
The threat that could overshadow the environmental disaster we might be facing?
We may never know for sure, but if a global reaching superbug does materialize, then the
world could start to look more like a Hollywood apocalypse movie than the world we see today.
Do you think these superbugs pose a genuine threat to our existence?

US Gov. and Media Whitewash 'Reformer' Saudi Prince MBS as He Beheads Dissidents - Duration: 6:14.
It's the Real News. I'm Ben Norton.
According to politicians and pundits in the United States, Saudi Arabia's new dictator
Mohammed bin Salman is a revolutionary who will supposedly bring progressive change to
the world. In February, the top U.S. diplomat Dennis Ross published an op-ed in the Washington
Post titled, quote: "America should get behind Saudi Arabia's revolutionary crown prince."
Most major corporate media outlets have published article after article whitewashing Mohammed
bin Salman, and depicting the 32-year-old Saudi Crown Prince as a messiah. In reality,
however, the Saudi regime's brutal oppression has continued under Prince Mohammed. A recent
report by Human Rights Watch found that in the first four months of this year Saudi Arabia
beheaded 48 people, half of them for nonviolent drug charges.
Joining us to discuss the reality in Saudi Arabia is As'ad Abukhalil. As'ad is a leading
expert on Middle East politics and a professor of political science at California State University
Stanislaus. He regularly writes at his website The Angry Arab News Service. Thanks for joining
us, As'ad.
Thank you, Ben.
So can you react to the recent report? We now know that on average, every month a dozen
people in Saudi Arabia are beheaded, Half of them for nonviolent drug offenses.
It has to be said that since the Second World War, successive U.S. administrations have
consistently coddled and indulged the despotism and cruelty of the Saudi regime. This has
been a consistent manner. However, there has been an adjustment in recent years, because
the Saudi government has become far more repressive than it has ever been.
This is what people don't understand, that what this crown prince is doing is selling
what he calls reform in terms of opening up the country for foreign investment, and allowing
clowns and singers to come to Saudi Arabia. And along the same line, he has been tightening
the parameters of a l lowed speech and movement within the country, like Twitter and social
media have been restricted increasingly under this prince than they ever were before. The
freedom of the press, which never existed in Saudi Arabia, is now more abysmal than
it ever has been.
And yet, as you suggested, there is a triumvirate that is now responsible for the promotion
of the despotism of this crown prince. And we're talking about the U.S. administration
that is endorsing what ever this crown prince is doing. Second, you have large corporations
who have at stake, oil corporations, arms defense industries and so on, who are part
of selling this new crown prince to the world. And the third element is the Zionist lobby.
The Zionist lobby and its branches, Democrat or Republican, have also been promoting this
crown prince. I just looked up today, I mean, the palace of the crown prince is now a site
of pilgrimage. You see delegations after delegations of liberals, conservative, media types, think
tanks, government agencies, all flocking to Saudi Arabia at the feet of this crown prince.
I saw a delegation of from the Center for American Progress, former Clintonites, who
are now groveling at the crown prince's feet, basically.
Yeah. And what did you take of, we had seen reports of real progress in Saudi Arabia.
Of course, women are finally being allowed to drive. The fact that they couldn't in the
first place is outrageous, considering that in no other country in the world have women
been banned from driving. So there are some forms of progress, but can you respond to
those? How do you think those reflect on Mohammed bin Salman?
I mean, this is like somebody saying that I will from now on allow bread to be supplied
to the slaves that I own. I mean, these are basic rights that women are entitled to around
the world. And the definition of Islam in Saudi Arabia remains, even after the reform,
the most strict, the most misogynistic of any kind of Islamic government around the
world. There is no need to celebration or to cheer. He basically is taking certain measures
intended for Western audiences, they are not intended for the Saudi audiences. Saudi women
require and need more freedom like everybody else. They are also entitled to have a stake
in the political system, political participation. And they also need jobs. All these things
are denied to them.
But yet he basically knows that if he makes cosmetic changes that are intended for Western
audiences, and if you pay enough PR agencies and lobbying firms in Washington D.C., everybody
will be impressed, and they are.
Yeah, and then we'll have to finish up here, but of course I didn't even mention the war
in Yemen. This is the largest humanitarian catastrophe on the planet, and Mohammed bin
Salman has been overseeing the brutal bombing by Saudi Arabia of Yemen, which is the poorest
country in the Middle East. Can you briefly comment on that, as well?
Well, I think the Yemeni bloodshed has to be blamed on GCC countries, as well as on
the Western alliance that is providing not only intelligence but also military hardware
to the Saudis and the UAE, all those who are involved in this bloody war. So it is an international
war. And when we speak about the coalition, it is a coalition, and this is important in
order not to absolve the U.S., Britain, Germany, and other countries of responsibility of the
ongoing crimes there in Yemen.
Yeah, of course, we just saw in April Saudi Arabia bombed a wedding, and killed 33 people
and injured 50, mostly civilians, many of whom were children. And they used, the Saudi
military used a U.S.-made bomb in order to bomb that Yemeni wedding. But unfortunately
we'll have to end our discussion here. We were with As'ad Abukhalil, who is a professor
of political science at California State University Stanislaus. Thanks for joining us, As'ad.
Thank you very much, Ben.

much big game extremely it feels like they're not gonna lose
these big final looks like the games are made for that exactly for it and it just
I yeah it's that that would be my worst
nightmare that was a beautiful shit
terrible idea Susanna you've watched a lot of
Liverpool this year right what what makes mosul aw so good
the wait his vision of the game his ability to finish he he's just he's
lethal I I did so I'm so grateful I just don't know where he came from I was
talking with Aaron though we're both so day off fans and we saw him play for
Fiorentina aroma and the we knew this guy was special it's just a matter of
getting a run out and like obviously Chelsea you haven't done that with him
they have a lot of guys he gets the ball one I want and you're just like walk
there we go I mean like your toes and that's smiling too smiling the guy is
like the happiest man on earth and it's just contagious but it's crazy to see
the the media wrecker eyes to think that we are literally hitting up him against
Ronaldo know who we consider what top two best players in the world but now
he's in that conversation
so there it is I took this was this you guys why did you do this to me
to be fair though I'm so long we gotta bring you up so I want I saw he wasn't
wearing the right thank you for coming on I really appreciate you just being
willing to come on and you know had I known ahead of time this is what I was
signing up for

right here he's gonna be selecting your Champions League winner via treats
so whatever treat he selects it will be on on the big badge of up team and he
will select it by walking over and eating it it's gonna be super common I
trust him I trust him and I think this is cute and all but I'm also a little
bit concerned because I was scrolling through Aaron's Instagram and I happen
to notice something that there might be it's kind of a precursor and maybe
match-fixing oh look back here what do we have Ajax
is shaking your hand wow there's a D lot of a time that looks
like you're just finished a deal yeah what can you because I saw that do you
guys know each other
cool so I've got Madrid thanks guys have a pool their pool literally it doesn't
matter cuz he's just gonna pick which everybody what so let's go see this it's

we'll have to go left go left all right
so for this last segment we are gonna play out this final it's gonna be
Liverpool vs Real Madrid you have chosen Rome Madrid I have I went with the
better team on the game we're legit so we'll see if my skills get matched up
and I get the mighty Liverpool so we are whoever versus no teeth is white in the
game as they are in real life there we go is the question a lot of people got
mad at Heath in the comments are calling him Bobby for me yet I thought it was
hilarious a lot of people call him Bobby from Knightley I like that people would
get mad at that it's like it's like calling William Shakespeare Bill what's
wrong with that he's going seeking for snacks right now that's really his aim
and goal oh I've got no one in the attack right now huh so honestly Aaron
do you think these are the two best teams against each other for the
champion yeah I think on current form yeah you got it they have to be I don't
know how Real Madrid lose this games like I've seen them play a couple times
this year in La Liga and they just kind of look stagnant like they're often
c-couldn't put things together but a midfield of cruise mode rich and
casimiro I just don't get it how could you lose any game without Benzema on the
field and without like Gareth Bale on the field they really just lacked shots
they don't take a lot of shots like East goes more of a pass happy guy obviously
Tony Cruz those oh those guys are like more pass happy guys yeah they don't
take a lot of shots if if like bins isn't on the field or if if no I want to
say and it's a good Lord anything that's like a tournament or a playoff format
it's not really the best team it's the best team in the moment and it's the
healthiest team yeah look all that snow come on boys
there it is boo bro what a tackle what a tackle from the pony now get that shit
on a frickin tackle good lord that's beautiful oh I was so excited with that
setup you were buried oh my heart is beating out of my chest
where's my dog oh he's just chillin back there I'm still a dog here so you guys
know we didn't lose him yeah he's just telling on the ground back there you
know what happens in finals two team teams don't really play like themselves
a lot they're there to get very nervous so I honestly don't think it's gonna be
a very high-scoring game I think rail are gonna find find a way
but who knows you Messala is on fire one of the best
players in the world Ronaldo kind of showed everyone that
he's still Ronaldo we all kind of wrote him off even myself he shows up this is
this is his stage and they've already done it twice I mean to them do it three
times in a row is is is unbelievable so yeah we're just gonna do classic just
like we would in the Champions League classic two overtimes
unbelievable kidding I didn't breathe that inch in I didn't breathe that
entire sequence oh then he has it who it who does this carry on the rails
who's he thinking he's a big lad I'm gonna tie your spawn if Liverpool win
this does that give us a law an edge as far as we boned or owned or absolutely
