ALL IN DEEP STATE CRISIS AFTER TRUMP JUST STUNNED WASHINGTON DC WITH UNIMAGINABLE ACTION

and there's a Fox News Alert welcome to Hannity on this busy breaking news night we start

this morning before sunrise heavily armed FBI agents dressed in full

tactical gear surrounding the home of a 66 year old man drawing their weapons pounding

on the door and they took him

into custody now this was not a suspected murderer drug kingpin not a part of the mob

no this was Roger stone accused of making a false statement to Congress

stone is just the latest American to be persecuted by Robert

Muller's witch-hunt because of his connection to President Trump now coming up tonight longtime

Roger stone confidant and fellow mulher target he's identified

as person number one in this indictment jerome corsi

he will join us for an exclusive interview but first big news we start with the partial

government shutdown President Trump announced today that after

35 days a deal has been reached to reopen the government temporarily until

February the 15th he is given Congress now three weeks to agree on legislation to build

the wall secure our borders and he was speaking earlier today from the Rose

Garden and here's what the president had to say it's just common

sense walls work that's why most of the Democrats in Congress have voted in the past four bills

that include walls and physical barriers and very powerful fences

these barriers are made of Steel have seeped through visibility which is

very important and are equipped with sensors monitors and cutting-edge technology right

in our Hannity watch segment we have the real behind-the-scenes

story nobody else in the media will tell you numerous

Democrats both in the House and the Senate for the last two weeks they have been speaking

to their Republican colleagues they have been asking them to broker

this three-week opportunity to support the wall and negotiate other

parties like another issues like daca and dreamers they've been begging their Republican

colleagues to make that deal with the president so the president well he

showed leadership rose above the partisan bickering in the swamp offering

relief to workers all while sticking to his commitment to secure our border now the

president was very clear no ambiguity in three weeks if Congress cannot do their job secure

a deal to protect our borders

then the president will do what he lawfully has the right to do and that's declare a national

emergency and he will be building the wall with funds that he allocates

most likely from the Defense Department this is indeed a real crisis

in three weeks he will declare a national emergency and look at what the president's

done up till now he's offered concessions things the Democrats say

they wanted daca dreamers TPA he's standing up for life versus death to him

he's been arguing safety and security for the people of this country but tonight we

have to ask ourselves this question what are the Democrats what an ANSI

and Chuck been standing up for actually nothing

there's no position here they have only been placating what is now the radical extreme

base of the socialist Democratic Party of today and all they do is fuel their

daily anti Trump rage and hate ask that question of tonight Democrats what

did they do they went on vacation the president stayed at the White House luxurious junkets

really paid for by lobbyists while the president stays at the

White House refusing invitation after invitation to sit down with the

president who's saying I'm willing to work with you I'll work on Doc I'll work on dreamers

but we've got to secure the border to save the lives of our fellow countrymen

because of the problem with open borders now these other Democrats

privately they had been going behind the leadership in their own party asking leaders like Lindsey

Graham and others hey help us get this period where we can try

to get this job done they want the wall as well but they're just not

telling Schumer and Pelosi if not they know the president will declare that national emergency

now the president to his credit he has tried every single thing

he could possibly do he has been reasonable

he has been fair he's offered concessions but in the end it's his job as commander-in-chief

to keep us safe he'll do his job so now Congress they have

their three weeks to do their job and secure our

border Democrats we need Republicans they need to member the facts that we have built

so far 654 miles of border wall over the last

15 years with notable results for example the wall in Yuma Arizona after

it went from 5 miles to 60 Plus miles well that led to a 91% drop in crime remember Democrats

they actually used to be for strong borders just a few years ago

that's when Obama was president actually they sounded more like Trump

than Trump before they were consumed with all this anti Trump hate and rage every day

take a look people who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens

and illegal aliens should

not be treated the same as people who entered the US legally to so many Americans we do

not want the wall to be a symbol of America much preferring the Statue

of Liberty be that simple all of us agree that we need to have

comprehensive bipartisan immigration reform that can only begin strong border control

we must have that we must control our borders is an immorality it's

not who we are as a nation walls work but we've got to finish the job

I've said so many times on this program the cost of a porous border they're enormous

and it's growing more serious every single day human trafficking drug trafficking gangs

cartels it is a

life-and-death situation talk to angel moms and Angel dads talk to the parents that have

lost their kids because of the opioid crisis and then to make

matters worse another ten thousand person migrant Caravan right now as we

speak is headed our way so you say tonight to Chuck and Nancy all right behind your back

your fellow Democrats they want that wall they also want to deal

with daca they want to solve problems they want solutions will you

work for it now you can either work with this president do what's right for the country

or the American people will see you for who you are just obstructionist hating

a president and anyone out there by the way thinking president Trump cave

today you don't really know that Donald Trump I know he right now holds all the cards he

will secure the border one way or another and what President Trump works

hard to solve serious issues of life and death

face in the country well we do have another issue tonight Hannity watch on the deep state

robert muller and his merry band of democratic donors they continue

their quest literally to destroy the lives of everyone and anyone

that's associated with Donald Trump today Roger stone was their latest target our own

trace Gallagher has the very latest on the pre-dawn raid on the Fort

Lauderdale home of longtime president Trump confidant Roger stone

began with the FBI shouting opened the door it ended with stone being led away in handcuffs

the seven count indictment is the first criminal case in months from

special counsel robert muller and alleges that senior members of

El intento de Nicolás Maduro de desafiar a Donald Trump en inglés: "¡Hands offs Venezuela! ¡De inmed - Duration: 3:10.

"Con Venezuela no te metas. Hand offs Venezuela. Donald Trump, hands offs Venezuela

¡De immediati!". De esta manera, el presidente venezolano Nicolás Maduro quiso advertirle a su par norteamericano que "saque sus manos" del país "inmediatamente"

El mandatario además calificó este martes de "infantil" la política exterior de Estados Unidos al comentar la filtración de una foto en la que se ve una nota en la libreta del asesor de Seguridad Nacional, John Bolton, en la que se lee "5

000 tropas a Colombia". Con Venezuela no te metas. ¡Hand offs Venezuela! "Ayer salió el señor John Bolton (…) salió con una carpeta, una guerra psicológica infantil, de niños, con una carpeta diciendo vamos a mandar 5

000 tropas a Colombia, esa es la forma infantil de dirigir una política exterior desde la Casa Blanca", dijo Maduro, que este martes acompañó unos ejercicios militares en el céntrico estado Aragua

Reiteró que contra su Gobierno "se ha activado" un golpe de Estado "ordenado y preparado desde Washington" y señaló que sobre esto "no puede haber duda"

Donald Trump y Nicolás Maduro "Un golpe de Estado fantasmagórico", dijo, que solo busca "dividir la Fuerza Armada" para que el país sea "ocupado por las fuerzas imperialistas"

"En esas circunstancias, como comandante en jefe, estoy al frente de esta batalla que estamos dando y seguiré al frente de esta batalla", comentó

Estoy al frente de esta batalla que estamos dando y seguiré al frente de esta batalla Reiteró que del 10 al 15 de febrero próximos se celebrarán otros ejercicios militares "ratificando su lealtad suprema al comandante en jefe constitucional" que es él mismo

"Estamos en tiempo de victoria, y la batalla se está decidiendo por superioridad y ventaja a favor de la patria, esta batalla se está definiendo por superioridad y ventaja moral, por superioridad y ventaja física, por superioridad y ventaja legal, constitucional, por superioridad y ventaja cívico militar a favor de los patriotas", aseguró

Venezuela se encuentra sumida en una severa crisis política después de que el jefe del Parlamento, Juan Guaidó, se adjudicara el pasado 23 de enero las competencias del Ejecutivo como presidente interino por considerar, la Cámara, que Maduro usurpa la Presidencia al asumirla tras unas elecciones "fraudulentas"

 For the second time in three years, This Is Us fans can blame Donald Trump for delaying the airing of a season finale of This Is Us

 NBC announced on Tuesday that it will pre-empt Feb. 5's episode of the hit family drama so it can air President Trump's State of the Union address

26, will now hit your TVs on April 2.  In 2017, a similar scenario unfolded when a February episode of TIU was bumped to accommodate a live telecast of President Trump addressing a joint session of Congress

 The network also announced that new drama The Village will now air following This Is Us at 10 p

m. from March 12 through April 2 before moving to 9 p.m. on April 9.  The last new episode of This Is Us aired last Tuesday, and you can read what executive producers Elizabeth Berger and Isaac Aptaker revealed about the Big Three's meeting with Nicky (Griffin Dunne) right here

Nicolle Wallace Says Trump's Base Thinks He's a Loser - Duration: 5:18.

-Welcome back! -Thank you! Wow!

-It's lovely to have you back.

You and Rosie are friends. You know each other.

-Yes, we are. -We are friends.

We were on the ill-fated -- I don't know --

season whatever of "The View."

And Donald Trump is our through line.

So, he came out, and she was supposed to fight with me.

And she said, "He's a racist."

And I was like, "Mm-hmm."

And then she -- "He's terrible." I was like, "Mm-hmm."

And that was it. We both got fired.

Right? -Yes, pretty much.

-I want to ask about --

There's so many things I want to ask you about.

But the shutdown --

it seems like everyone is in agreement, pretty much.

There's maybe some far-right holdouts

that Trump won this game.

But everybody seems to agree that Nancy Pelosi

played this perfectly.

What do you think is the fallout from this for the president?

-Well, the fallout is -- those far-right holdouts

are calling us, you know, from blocked numbers,

saying, "Yeah, he lost."

I mean, the holdout is -- even the wackiest part

of his base thinks he's a giant loser for this whole caper.

[ Cheers and applause ] No, seriously.

And it's not because they disagree about the wall.

They just think that, strategically, he failed.

They think that he was owned

publicly and privately by Nancy Pelosi.

And it's sort of an insider point,

but it was his son-in-law, Jared Kushner,

who ran point on this.

And they think he's not up for the task

of running legislative affairs for The White House.

-She seemed, at every level, to know exactly what to do.

Was the taking away of the State of the Union --

Was taking away something that ceremonial

from the president a stroke of genius from Nancy?

-It's a mistake to project onto him more sophistication

than exists, and for him, taking away air time,

taking away the thing that we all recognize

from the movies and whatnot about being president,

standing there with the people behind you

clapping or booing or whatever they're doing.

That, to him -- Those are some of the most

sort of powerful and precious things to him

about being president.

So to take that away

really did sort of cut all of his leverage.

-And, of course, it's happening on the same day

that he capitulates there, Roger Stone is indicted.

You traveled in Republican circles

when he was in those circles, as well, Roger Stone.

What was your take on Roger Stone?

-I mean, he was at a firm that was so dirty,

you just knew that if no one else would hire a bad dictator,

like, "Oh, well, that firm will do it."

It was Stone, Manafort,

who's awaiting sentencing for his felonies.

And, you know, the idea that we're all supposed to believe --

Chris Christie was on my show today,

and I said, "You know, everyone around the president

has either been convicted or is awaiting trial

for the crime of lying about Russia.

Is that a coincidence?"

"Eh, it might be a coincidence."

I mean, everyone that the president

surrounded himself with is either

a convicted felon or has been charged with a felony.

-You talked to Chris Christie today, and it was a very long --

You talked to him for about 40 minutes,

and it was a fascinating interview.

-I don't think it was that long, was it?

-No, I was -- But, again,

I wanted to hear you interview him.

But, you know, he wrote this book,

and it seems to be a thing that a lot of people

leave the Trump administration, and then they take this

one shot at sort of reframing their experience,

because they are now trying to, you know,

re-enter polite society.

Do you think Chris Christie will be effective with this book,

with his take on what had happened

inside that White House?

-I think Chris Christie is like Donald Trump,

in that people know what they think about him.

And if you're from New Jersey, you know,

he left with some of the lowest approval ratings

in that state's history.

But I think if you're in the Republican Party

and you see a lot of people were into Trump,

Chris Christie has some of that bluntness without, you know,

all of the criminality that seems to follow Donald Trump.

-Well, I do think something that's similar

with the two of them is they --

The people were charmed by their authenticity.

You know, and, again, it was no small thing

that Chris Christie was, you know,

a Republican governor in New Jersey.

-Yeah. And, look, Chris Christie has genuine friendships

on the other side of the aisle.

And I don't want to name any of them.

They may be in witness protection at this point.

But, I mean, he did --

-"I got the kind of friends that don't like the world knowing."

-No, no. But he -- And has obvious political talents.

The challenge I think he'll have with the book is --

he savages Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law.

He spares nothing. And Kushner deserves it.

Savages Bannon. Bannon deserves it.

I said this to him on TV, so don't feel like

I'm talking about him behind his back on TV.

But he doesn't lay a glove, really, on the president.

And the president puts those

incompetent and seemingly corrupt people

in very powerful places.

-Yeah, I guess that's the disconnect is --

how can you say it's not the president's fault?

He's surrounded by, you know, sort of liars and idiots,

because that seems to be, like, a pretty important part

of the job is who you bring into The White House with you.

-The president has surrou-- There weren't any qualifications

to work on the Trump campaign or you didn't really

have to know how to do anything political.

-Yeah.

-But you had to know Russians, like Russians,

and then lie about what you did with them.

-Yeah. That's a weird thing to have.

That's -- You had that in "special skills" on the résumé.

-Maybe it was, like -- Yeah...

Intelligence Officials Say Trump Is Dead Wrong About North Korea - Duration: 5:01.

Yesterday, members of the intelligence community submitted their written assessments on the

basically the state of the world, right?

We had Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, basically the highest of the

highest up and our intelligence communities.

He had to submit his written statement about, you know, what threats are out there against

the United States, how are things going with our negotiations with other countries in terms

of security issues?

What's really happening out there?

Dan Coats and coats in his written statement to the Senate, basically told us that Donald

Trump is 100 percent wrong about every foreign policy issue that he is talking about.

Specifically coats called him out, as did the heads of the CIA, DIA, NSA, about North

Korea.

They said, this guy has no idea.

We do not believe that North Korea is denuclearized even though Donald Trump has said that repeatedly

and recent tweets, he said that things are going great.

He's made so much progress with them, and then the leaders of our intelligence communities

came up and said, uh, he hasn't done anything.

In fact, we think that North Korea, we have evidence, satellite photos and all of that,

that shows that they're actually increasing their nuclear ambitions.

So literally everything Trump says, the opposite of that has happened.

They say this same thing about Syria in their written assessment.

You know, Trump funtown us, we, we, we defeated Isis in Syria.

We're done.

We did it.

They're gone.

We're defeating them all over the Middle East intelligence community says, yeah, that didn't

happen.

Other countries have also said, yeah, that's not the case.

They're still there.

They're not close to being depleted.

What the hell are you talking about, Mr Trump.

But here's the thing.

And they also said he's been totally wrong about Iran as well, which we all know that

John Bolton before he, uh, you know, got his eyes on Venezuela, was hell bent on attacking

Iran, but at least now you know, maybe we'll have a war a little bit closer to home.

Um, nonetheless, Donald Trump has no idea what is actually happening around the globe.

He thinks that things went well with North Korea when in fact nothing changed except

for the fact that again, according to the assessments, they're actually increasing their

nuclear capabilities.

Trump didn't fix that, but he tells us he did the situation in Syria.

Trump didn't fix that, but he tells us he did situation with Iran.

Trump didn't fix that, but he tells us that he did.

None of this is working, but what's even scarier is the fact that we have a president who doesn't

understand that he is losing.

There is no good outcome for the United States in Syria.

We should not be there.

We should be providing humanitarian aid for the millions of people whose lives we have

helped destroyed.

That is what we should be doing in Syria.

As for North Korea, I'm all for diplomatic talks.

I'm all for keeping all options on the table, not militarily, but humanitarian.

You know, sanctions.

If we need them to humanitarian aid, if they need that, whatever we can do to avoid any

kind of armed conflict with them.

I own in favor of if Trump needs to sit down with Kim a few more times and talk to them,

then go for it, but don't expect that to change anything because this whole regime in North

Korea has been doing this for over a decade and nothing has changed.

If we want them to d nuke and I've said this many times and I'll continue saying it, then

we have to do the same thing.

We can't sit here holding onto the most powerful weapons man has ever made and look at other

people and say, you can't have these.

Get rid of yours.

I can be the only one holding this thing.

That's not how it works.

That's not how it's ever going to work.

We want others to d nuke, we have to lead by example and I am 100 percent in favor of

that.

And as for the situation in Iran, we were actually making progress with that until the

president decided to come in, take us out of the treaty that we essentially started

and then say that, ah, they're making nuclear weapons.

We need to go bomb them.

Yeah.

None of that has happened, but they still are treating this country like they weren't

adhering to the agreement when in fact they were.

We are the ones who didn't.

Donald Trump doesn't understand foreign policy.

He doesn't understand what's happening in the world, and that is incredibly dangerous

for the president of the United States to not even know what the hell he's talking about.

Ahead of the expected polar vortex this week,

President Trump tweeted last night,

"What the hell is going on with global warming?

Please come back fast. We need you."

Okay. Once again, you're confusing weather with climate.

How can I explain this to you?

Okay, let's watch a clip of you being a decent person.

She doesn't give up. I respect that.

-See, that was weather -- a quick, one-time thing.

Now, this is climate.

Ugh! I don't know what I said!

You know what? You've really had enough.

They're rapists. Get him outta here!

Many Countries at UN Oppose Trump Interference in Venezuela - Duration: 17:19.

Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm Paul Jay.

On Saturday morning there was a somewhat extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council. It was

an open meeting. Countries were invited to come give their opinion and response to the

push by the United States, led by President Donald Trump, to recognize Juan Guaido. This

is the man who is the president of the National Assembly in Venezuela who declared himself

president. Apparently, as the Wall Street Journal is now reporting, that Vice President

Mike Pence phoned Guaido the night before he made such a declaration. And either he

suggested he make the declaration–that's not clear–but at least what is clear, according

to the report, Pence says that if he'd made such a declaration he would get U.S. support.

And in fact, the United States supported Guaido's declaration almost immediately after he made

it. Well, there's been a very interesting split

in the world that was–this was reflected at those meetings Saturday morning, where

many countries refused to go along with this plan, saying that the UN Charter says there

should be non-interference in the internal affairs of UN member countries, and that that

should be respected. The United States says they don't like the way the elections were

held, and a bunch of countries have aligned themselves with the United States on this,

on their position of recognizing Guaido and calling, essentially, what many people are

calling a coup that Guaido should take power. And they are openly trying to foment support

within the Venezuelan military, 'they' being the United States, to engineer such

a coup. At any rate, here's a little sample of what

took place at the UN on Saturday morning. Now we have a new leader, Juan Guaido, in

Venezuela, who has promised to bring elections and constitutional order back to Venezuela,

and security back to the region. This is not about foreign intervention in

Venezuela. It is not an attempt to impose a result on the Venezuelan people. Democracy

never needs to be imposed. It is tyranny that has to be imposed.

But what about if we look at the international law, the Charter? Where is this based on?

Are we simply setting aside international relations based on international law, and

replacing the with international relations based on force?

China supports the efforts made by the Venezuelan government to uphold national sovereignty,

independence, and stability. The meeting which we are being forced to be

present is another element of the strategy of the United States to effect regime change

in Venezuela. We regret that in this unethical ploy, in its unethical ploys, the United States

is involving the Security Council. Colombia has come here to the Security Council

to ask the international community to demand that the life and well being of Juan Guaido

is upheld, and not just that he is protected but also the members of the National Assembly

and all those who fight for democracy. And indeed, we have come to call for the international

community's support for all those Venezuelans who are sparing no effort to build a better

future. Belgium calls for the restoration of constitutional

order in Venezuela. The presidential elections, which took place in May of last year, were

in no way free, fair, or credible, thus stripping the government of Nicolas Maduro of any democratic

legitimacy. The main threat to peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean is, in

fact, the bullying by the United States and its allies of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,

which is a flagrant affront to the popular will of the people of Venezuela, and to the

institutional framework of this country. I ask the question honestly: If we look back

through history, which country has been better after an intervention by the United States

of America? Have we not discussed in this very Security Council the serious adverse

impact and consequences of situations such as the current situation in Iraq, or Syria,

or in Libya?  So that was a sampling of what took place

Saturday morning at the United Nations. Now joining us to discuss this somewhat realignment

of forces in the world, I think, as well as what's really at stake at this issue with

Venezuela, is Larry Wilkerson. Larry is the former chief of staff to Secretary of State,

former Secretary of State, Colin Powell. Thanks for joining us, Larry.

Thanks for having me, Paul.  So it seems you can–the fundamental issue

that was seemed to be raised by many countries at the UN was that this is an issue of non-interference,

not an issue of how you assess the Venezuelan elections, although some countries went even

further and said one should respect the outcome of those elections. But other countries, it

seems to me, were saying it's not up to countries outside Venezuela to decide on the

domestic affairs of Venezuela, and that that principle trumps everything else. What do

you–what's your view of this? It's all a discussion about how power should

be managed and arranged in the world. And despite what anyone says, Xi Jinping, Vladimir

Putin, or Donald Trump, or Mike Pompeo, these kinds of things are all about the distribution

of power in the world and who's going to have influence over who.

And so when you look at Venezuela, on the rim of the Gulf of Mexico and subject to the

Monroe doctrine, and its oil, some say–many with reason–and experts say that Venezuela

has the largest oil reserves in the world. Very difficult to get to, very difficult to

get out of the ground, high economic costs for doing so, but nonetheless a lot of oil.

And the United States has a long relationship with Caracas. And so you can understand this

happening. At the same time, the principle of non-intervention

is just that: non-intervention. And not for a moment do I think that the United States,

particularly with this administration, will restrain itself from intervening significantly

in Venezuela. After all, I was there in 2002 when we began this more or less slow fuse

coup d'etat against Chavez. And of course, I've read all about Salvador Allende, and

Mohammed Mossadegh, and Jacobo Arbenz; all the other people in the world who we have

overthrown from time to time. So this is no surprise to me. It is somewhat

of a surprise that we have this division of view in the world. And the majority of the

world, if you want to go by population, seems to be in favor of a more pure definition of

non-intervention than the United States likes to entertain.

Yeah, I think it's it's interesting the way that most of the corporate media is

reporting on this. It's as if the majority of the world, governments of the world, are

with the United States with Trump on recognizing. But in fact, the governments that represent

the majority of the people of the world are certainly not with this plan. India has refused

to recognize Guaido, and considers this a domestic concern of Venezuela. China, Russia.

And also, I thought, maybe even most interesting of all of this, is that Saturday morning the

CARICOM, countries the Caribbean countries, they refused to buckle under U.S. pressure.

Trump has been making a lot of threats about countries that take our aid and want to be

allied with us, and then they "don't even vote for us at the UN." Well, they stood

up to Trump. There were several very small countries that made a point of coming to speak

at that meeting. They could have just gone with the CARICOM statement, which wasn't

as strong as what Barbados said, and St. Thomas and the Grenadines said, and some others.

They really took up this position for non-interference in domestic affairs.

And the fact that Canada, which, you know, Canada's whole international identity is

supposedly based on its support for the United Nations and the Charter of the United Nations–of

course, there's a lot of history of that not being true. But Canada tries to pretend

it's true. Canada is supporting this. Germany, Spain, and France are now calling for elections.

I mean, who are they to call for elections in Venezuela? And the hypocrisy of all this.

Like, if they–if they don't like the elections that took place in China–I'm sorry, in

Venezuela–and that's a reason not to recognize the government, then why don't they apply

that to China and Saudi Arabia and any number of countries, including the United States?

There's a lot of people that could say the United States, the American elections, weren't

all that democratic. I think you have to consider the situation

in Venezuela. Now, I remember very well the words of Richard Nixon to his then-CIA director

Richard Helms: Made the Chilean economy scream. That's exactly what the President said to

his CIA director as they prepared to overthrow Salvador Allende in Chile. So I'm not discounting

the fact that–what I'm going to say now–might have in part or in large part been caused

by the United States making the Venezuelan economy scream. That's certainly a possibility.

Nonetheless, it is screaming. The Venezuelan people are flocking into Colombia, the only

South American country that will take them, by and large. And the only reason Colombia

is taking them is because it's returning the good offices of Venezuela when the FARC

was giving Colombia so much trouble and Colombians were going into Venezuela. So it feels like

it owes Venezuela a debt, and rightfully so. But there are some three to four million Venezuelans

now who are in the diaspora, and left Venezuela because of the economic conditions.

So whoever is responsible–Chavez, Maduro, the National Assembly, the United States–whomever

is responsible for this chaos in Venezuela, it is, nonetheless, chaos. And so something

needs to be done. But, as these other countries have said, I believe it's up to the Venezuelan

people to do this, and not the United States, and not Canada, and not France, and not Germany.

That's what non-intervention is all about.  And there is a proposal on the table from

Mexico and Uruguay to help negotiate this. And it seems to me that this is–it is such

a fundamental principle of international law, and it goes to the very core of why there

is a United Nations, that it's really something that Canada and some of these European countries

that try to pretend they are believers in international law are going along with this.

I can kind of understand the right-wing governments of Latin America that are supporting this

in Brazil and some of the other countries. Although what a joke that they consider the

Brazilian elections legitimate. You have a parliamentary coup against the Brazilian president,

and then you have an election where the main opponent to Bolsonaro is sitting in jail.

Lula is sitting in jail. They won't let him run. And those elections are considered

OK by the Trump administration. Let's go back and look at Hillary Clinton

and Barack Obama on Honduras. In my estimation the Honduran–recent Honduran exchange of

governments was unconstitutional, unethical, immoral, and illegal. And yet the United States

jumped right on top of it to recognize the new, more conservative, Honduran president.

And I've been in Honduras, I've been in Tegucigalpa, and I know the kind of person

that we recognize. So this is something we do. If it's in our

interest we do it; if it's not in our interest we don't do it. That's the simple formula

that we use. The difference with the Trump administration is you never know when that

formula is going to be applied or how it's going to be applied. And I would suspect that

one of the reasons you got such instant agreement, if you will, from countries like France, like

Germany, like Canada, is because Trump has frightened them. He's frightened them with

his approach to NATO, and he's frightened them with his trade wars, and so forth. And

so on this particular issue, where they really don't have a dog in the fight, not up close

and personal, anyway, they're not going to turn against Trump.

Yeah, I think that's a very important point. I interviewed a Canadian general during

the early stages of sending troops to Afghanistan. And I asked him, why did we send troops to

Afghanistan? Lots of the opinion at the time after 9/11 was that this could have been more

of a police-style operation in Afghanistan, going after al Qaeda, the Taliban. It didn't

need to be a full-scale military invasion with so many countries involved. It wasn't

a proportional or even, to large extent, legal response. And he told me it's very simple

why Canada sent troops to Afghanistan. He says we sent troops to Afghanistan because

we need to pay in blood to send our goods across the border into the United States.

That if we want the same kind of this easy trade relationship with the U.S., we have

to take up some of the burden of military operations. And he didn't use the word empire,

but that's what it came down to. We have to play our role in the world.

And Venezuela, I think, is a very good example of this. And it wasn't just now that Canada

has played this role. Canada has been playing this role in Venezuela from around the time

of the coup in 2002. That's the empire. That's the lessons

of empire throughout history, whether it's Athens dealing with Corinth and Milos and

others in her empire, or whether it's Britain dealing with the subcontinent in her empire.

You demand obeisance, and obeisance is given so that your people can have some sort of

stability and prosperity, until you get rid of the empire.

And I think it's important, just to add to your point about Honduras and Obama and

Clinton, that some of the–several of the leaders of the Democratic Party, including

Nancy Pelosi, have actually endorsed Trump's strategy in Venezuela.

This is a bipartisan issue. I think I told you, the other day I came out of a room that

had a bipartisan national security elite group debating things. And one of the things–debating

the future and all manner of issues, everything from whether or not we should plus up State's

150 account, the international relations account, how we should go after the defense budget,

and so forth. And so I came out of that with the distinct impression that everyone there,

Democrat and Republican, had decided that perpetual war is the concomitant of empire.

Put in plain English: War, interminable war, is this Empire's debt to the future.

All right. Thanks for joining us, Larry. Thank you for having me.

Trump Has Been Slandering Past Presidents To White House Tour Guests - Duration: 5:12.

According to a new report in the Washington Post that was corroborated by several insiders

in the White House as well as passages from former White House aide, Cliff Sims, new book,

Donald Trump has repeatedly taken people on tours of the White House and lied about what

a horrible person Barack Obama was.

According to the reports, Donald Trump has taken people under the official White House

dining room and it's pointed and said, Barack Obama would sit in here all day every day

watching basketball.

Trump also claims that there was a hole in the wall, the actual hole in the wall that

was somehow caused by the Obama administration.

Maybe Obama got angry watching a basketball game and punched the wall.

Who knows, but Trump's out there telling them, look, Obama put a hole in the wall.

He sat on his ass all day watching basketball.

What a horrible guy.

Now let me show you where I sit on my fat ass all day watching Fox News and tweeting

out nonsense.

I'm sure that part of it never comes up on the tour, but I would love to see that, wouldn't

you?

It was maybe lazy.

Boy, and I'm not talking about the president talking about his chair, probably covered

in Cheeto dust, Doritos all around the floor, like he's a toddler.

Yeah.

I am willing to put my next paycheck that something like that actually exists in the

White House right now, you know, probably about three feet away from a massive TV blaring

Fox News 24 hours a day.

Back to the story though.

He also takes people and points out like, oh, this is where Bill Clinton had that affair

with Monica Lewinsky.

What he's doing, and this is according to multiple sources, including Cliff Sims, is

he's basically just lying about how horrible and disgusting all of the past presidents

were.

He tells people there's a real fly problem when we moved in.

You know, I can't help but feel like this is some kind of attack on Obama just because

he's black, right.

You know, the black guy sits in the dining room and watches basketball all day.

The black guy put a hole in the wall.

The black guy had a real fly problem and turn this place into a quote real dump.

We remember when Trump said that, right, I can't help but feel like there is some very

severe, disgusting racial overtones to these statements, but here's what this is really

about.

This about a man who's so insecure that he's willing to lie about Barack Obama and what

a slob and filthy human being he was.

Now I don't care if you liked Obama's policies or if you didn't.

I didn't like most of his policies.

I don't think he was that great.

He was an incredible centrist and did not do everything that he should have done, but

in terms of being a decent human being and you know, basic maturity and cleanliness,

I think he was probably a really good guy.

I think it was probably a clean guy and I don't believe any of these nonsensical stories

that Trump is apparently telling people on his unofficial White House tours that according

to sources he's done for hundreds of people.

Now, whether or not they believe the stories, he has to tell us another thing, but we shouldn't.

We shouldn't believe a single word that comes out of this man's mouth.

Considering the fact that in two years in office, he's told more than 8,000 lies, Trump

is the disgusting one.

Trump is the slob, and if that White House is in fact a real dump, it's most likely because

of the current inhabitant.
