narrative too good to be true? all around the town you can see the discrepancy between the swede as he is, and as he'd like to be. they worship themselves in images of bronze, but are the trolls and gremlins creeping back? one thing the swedes have always worshipped is the sun. that discrepancy is even starker today. sweden still regularly comes out at or near the top of international rankings for happiness and prosperity. but it spends less than it used to on welfare and public services. we have been so lucky here. now i think we have started to see difficulties in this society, and they don't necessarily have to do with immigration at all. now people see that my kids school is not working, my elderly parents are not being taken care of in a proper way, or the buses or the trains are not working, they are always running late. i think that people are feeling that they are doing everything right but they are not getting back the welfare that we were used to. the heyday of sweden's liberal socialist hybrid is over. o

but it doesn't take much to tip a narrative. this is a story about a wider gulf in perception between the image that sweden projects and the lived experience of some swedes which has begun to contradict that narrative. to understand the origin of sweden's image as a beacon for progressives and liberals, you have to go back to the middle of the 20th century. politics was dominated by the social democrats, a party with roots in the labour movement which, through a bold hybrid of socialism and liberalism, appeared to achieve startling results. these are the richest people in the world. they have the highest standard of living in a super welfare state which has abolished poverty and eliminated strikes, where everything and everyone works. the only country in the world were seven—year—olds attend lessons on sex. sweden projected itself as a model to emulate, but even in the 1960s people were asking is the good sweden narrative to good to be true? all around the town you can see the discrepancy between the swede as he is, and as h

turns out it's very common narrative. there's been lots of box and memoirs madeleine albright and we have been on panels called new jews of many people who have discovered as adults that they had joyish heritage. >> so, i am wondering as part of your -- the ark of your narrative so far, how did you begin to integrate and make choices about jewishness and jewish life to the life you already have? how do you understand jewish who will a days in how do you understand jewish approaches to biblical narrative and jewishethical values about being in the world. that kind of thing. can you talk about what that is for you? >> for me it's very much been inan evolving process where i pulled on one legging at a time of jewishness and put something over my head and it was -- it's been years to the point where now i am so proud and happy to be be a jew. and very open and but it's been very gradual and taken a lot of processing, investigation and historical searching on my part. >> i am shower this is true for both of you, but do you mov

private ryan really fed into that narrative. and then we just say that this national world war ii museum, and the originial d-day museum, is also part of the narrative of public memory. that public memory is shaped by many things. it is shaped by great films, shaped initially by the longest day, and many other war films before and since. there's also the larger subtext of freedom and democracy, versus the forces of tyranny and fascism. and of course, you have the holocaust in there, and the horrific genocide as all of this. private ryan, brokow, and ambrose did not start this narrative of the good war, that goes back sometime. so you could say, well, is it a false narrative? is it fake news? what is the alternative narrative? did the nazis win? is that better than what the americans did? here at the world war ii museum, we contribute in some ways to that narrative of the american spirit. we think the american spirit and world war ii did make a difference, generocity, sacrifice for ideals and leading to the free world for the las

one of the strong narratives in the western world about these faraway places. is that they really literally waiting to come in and leisure of violence that is already there in many ways it's actually insulting to these parts of the global south where the youth themselves these largely very normal lives and their frustrations are of a different nature. out of the front of you because you're. going to do a lot of a little more you. will hear in some blokey way. of approaching it. shooting and then we're going to do that because you should know what it was it wouldn't matter if you didn't. let me stop that mickey juking it was. the. key they had. that appearance obesity in the head that. you. did all. of what they all. did europe. before. they lifted men only. for the composition off one. for. a living with. their frustrations about developing by education and by getting a job. what we need to reflect on now is where are we going into this new blade runner ish world of violence what do you do when at the end of the day you have a technique of terrorism of killing

but every now and then it happens that the narrative it has been going around for a such a long time if i am writing it here when i see bearded man carrying a bag i get. suspecting that's a reality it's a sad reality you when you have internalized it become like i said if i am a person of muslim faith and i get like that i am the same what the other people might fear as well and if i don't think it's necessary it's the fault of the people is the responsible of the media we've done that people who often dorothy who put this narrative out there bearded man or a man of certain color may cause harm this needs to change we are kind of like brainwashed to think that one. so that's the step session was security just affect muslims others feel that they are suspects as well looking at post nine eleven and how you have been experiencing a lot of terrorism attack and so how did you live through those years and how do you look at how authorities have been dealing with this it was challenging because people's perspective of the minority group had already been made up and their mindset towards pe

sort of rebuff and i think that what i've seen then happens is that the narrative grows of everybody feeling that stiff accord with this child suddenly children and then find themselves excluded not in mainstream school they're in people refer units young people that i've worked with can find themselves there and really have a struggle you know internally about is this me is this is this the person i am well actually yes people are telling them it is that's why you're there and then i think there is this sort of gathering momentum for many of them not all of them to join gangs yet to join to join because because that's the trajectory and it's very difficult to resist. being labeled threats leads in many ways if the person is not a threat and if they are innocent to a sense of injustice many rip. for sure that injustice and of your nation are factors in making people susceptible to the appeal from groups like islamic states who have found ways to turn the west glamorization of violence against itself. to go see a mission impossible type of movie or a homeland type of t.v. series where

it's kind of disappeared from the narrative of a lot of politicians. some combination of real policy efforts to address these real injustices, combined with attention to integrative identities that will actually bring people back together, i think that's the right combination it's not an either/or choice. i think we can do both of those at the same time. >> first of all i'd like to push back on the fact that someday get told trump is a genius. that's not a new, the southern strategy is not a new playbook. that's what it is. but anyways, specifically addressing you said about syria and iraq and of his other things. how can a national identity exists in a nation that is a fundamentally set up by imperial powers? >> so i didn't call donald trump a genius across-the-board. [laughing] i mean, he's obviously very ignorant of policy and not thoughtful and so forth, but he does at this very intuitive sense of what a certain social sector and the united states feels and thinks. and he did that and what with r politicians did not so that's the sense in which i w

there's a narrative around orthodox christianity, which some perpetuate. it's this ideal of it being unchanging, it has this narrative of purity. and i do think us that the alt-right has something to do with the search for purity of some form. and i us did mention this traditional values agenda as well. it has to do with issues with sexuality and at least within the european context with nationalism. but you'll be disappointed when you'll have a wonderful experience going up on these cliffs. and you go to the gift shop and you'll see a painting where there's kind of history of basically it's a history of ancient greece to the present and you have mixed in there. but what's really being portrayed is this kind of fusion between kind of nationalism and religion. so even the monks themselves not surprising really to the orthodox are perpetuating a little bit of this alt-right purity. etc. et personally as they kind of mix, they fuse a religious kind of identity. so that nationalistic piece is key to understanding the alt-right. what's interesting is a little b

they lost the first narrative. so print news covered it below the fold, but by the time we get to sunday, it's gone. the russian origins are gone. for the rest of the campaign, the press is going to treat the russian hacked content as wikileaks, as wikileaks content. i want you to think for a moment what the implications are in saying it's from wikileaks because wikileaks has put things in public domain that some in this room probably approve of, things that the government probably didn't want us to see. the news has treated wikileaks has a quasi-legitimate news outlet in the past when it released those kind of things. and when you say wikileaks, people don't hear russians as a result. that's a name that's been around for awhile. when people also don't hear is julian assange doesn't like hillary clinton because hillary clinton wanted him prosecuted for what she considered his misuse of national security data when he released some of that other material earlier. so you think the press would be saying wikileaks, run

i think the narrative of why foot ball it. i think the narrative of why football is is that they work hard. i think the narrative around black footballers is they are naturally gifted. one suggests you work where you get to, and the others adjust yourjust giving a because you're going to mit do more of the? that is the narrative thatjohn part had to live through, ian wright had to live through. let's hope things get better. there's a lot of talk, a lot of talk. you know, but no one is backing their chap. everyone says oh, we understand our newsroom is a diverse, we understand we don't have enough women, enough non—white people, or enough people of a certain age and a second sociodemographic. and you see them for years later and they repeat the same thing to you. and nothing has changed. this is an uncomfortable moment for the media. for our industry. but this discomfort that my journalists are industry. but this discomfort that myjournalists are feeling right now that this conversation, it is the discomfort that many of us b

shelton and others begin to espouse these false narratives, if it's the current narrative that is going on. let's take a look at that. if 8 out of 10 black kids are not being raised by their fathers, guess what's going to happen? they're not going to get an education, end up in jail. those are facts. you're going to have kids not going to high school or college, therefore they can't debate and they cannot find themselves with any type of parity with their white counterparts, put the data in the home, there is no difference in the employment issue at that moment. it's a false narrative. >> laura: when we have you both back, we are doing an hour on this topic, just a racial topic in the new year. the rhetoric we are hearing from some, not all in the democratic party of the type of candidate, not on the basis of ideas but on the basis of skin color, i think that's a problem. i don't think it's good for democrats and is not good for republicans. it should be based on the content of your character. >> absolutely, those measures should be just that. regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, if w

the accepted narrative and that that seems to be what we're seeing play out here but i have to say that there are limits of some sort in that. you know you can publish something that is so obviously off off the charts and that that is not believable that it causes problems and i think luke harding has strayed into that territory not the first time and whatever it is because of evidence that i would offer for that. right i would just point out that politico this morning had a piece by a former cia operative who suggests that luke harding was was taken for a ride by somebody who is on the other side of the issue trying to discredit him which is a rather interesting well development a story ok well let me go let me go to joe i mean i met luke harding about a couple of times here in moscow and he was really the laughingstock of the entire foreign press corps here so not the first time for this guy you know he's a he has a real track record there maybe when you meet him ask him about his plagiarism of a. satirical magazine called the exile ask mark eames he was the editor of it there joe wha

it's a narrative thatjohn don't you do more with it. it's a narrative that john barnes, don't you do more with it. it's a narrative thatjohn barnes, ian wright, they have lived through it, so wright, they have lived through it, so let's hope it gets better. there isa so let's hope it gets better. there is a lot of talk, but nobody is backing their chat. everybody understands that the newsroom is not diverse, they don't have enough women or non—white people or enough people of a certain age or socio economic demographic, and three years later they say the same things and nothing has changed. it's an uncomfortable moment for the media, for our industry, but the discomfort that white journalists are feeling right now about this conversation is the discomfort that many of us black sports journalists and journalists have felt just sports journalists and journalists have feltjust going sports journalists and journalists have felt just going into white environments to do ourjobs everyday. they need to consider that. they need to consider the

and well you have to pick a narrative. he's an intern that nobody cares about or is there something that indicated they should look into you more and that is what i found perplexing. >> that is a great segue into the strange meetings. >> what is the strange meeting. >> let's go through this chronologically. i'm in london officially at the time i am appointed a campaign adviser based on -- and actually i had been in touch with cory lewandowski from july of 2015, so i -- >> how did you get in touch with him. >> just sent him a message and i was working at the hudson institute in washington, d.c., it is a think tank here dealing on -- with energy policy and the u.s. relationship with israel and egypt. and i said, you know, i'm tired of the establishment types. i love my mentors. douglas fife, scooter libby, great guys. they really helped my political trajectory, i guess. but i just felt that this wasn't what represented america at that moment. especially after eight years of obama. and they would tell me, because i said -- i'

npr's narrative was easily disputed. the reporter who put this story together didn't bother to read through the whole transcript. howie: don, jr. called this a desperate attempt to smear me. i am not saying it's a smear, but, man, it was a bad mistake. coming back to paul manafort. there was a media explosion when mueller said he violated his plea deal and he's lying to us. then it really intensified that while he was supposedly cooperating with mueller his lawyer was briefing the trump team's lawyers. some in the press characterizing him as being a double agent. >> it was a deal where somehow paul manafort's attorneys were continuing to ingratiate him and also continue to lie to mueller's team. it's have your cake and eat it, too. it's also goints the debate on the pardon issue. howie: the president spoke to the "new york post." he was asked about this about reporters. president trump: the question was asked by the "new york post." i said i'm not offering any pardons. they said would you? i said up not taking anything o

there are also hadith stories, that are the written narratives of what we think the prophet said and did. so there are also truthful narratives about the prophet visiting the house of a very famous woman, she was famous because of her way of reciting the koran and her knowledge of islam, and he asked her to lead the prayerfor his household. so we have at least three stories connecting women to leading the prayer and being female imams, so it's not a new phenomenon. it's a part of our islamic tradition. and because of this, the scholars at al—azhar have to accept this is actually a part of the tradition. well, you say they have to accept, but it seems to me in all sorts of ways, what you interpret as the right path for your religion varies a great deal from the accepted path that so many muslims around the world regard as just the convention and the orthodoxy of their religion. i'm thinking of the interpretation of sharia law, with regard for example to divorce, to property rights, to all sorts of ways in which, frankly, women appear to be treated as second—class to men. and this

balance of the shiny object versus the long-term narrative is different than it is now. hows acutely aware of exhausting it is when you are here doing it. like chris said, it's not like i was in kentucky or dayton or west virginia or somewhere in the pennsylvania excerpts, i was at harvard. observationsfew from a demographic that skews young, in terms of students, and in terms of faculty and adults, toward people who are in the mix in government. these are people who are former -- do iors or former need to adjust this? having said all of that, a few observations. mores that there is storyst in the long-term outside of washington than the short-term story. staff the next chief of is not as much a concern outside washington as it is in washington. the day-to-day turn of the mueller investigation is not as much a concern, but what it all means is a concern. there is interest outside washington. journalists sticking with the longer-term story and telling us in every story why is this important and why do i need to know this? outside of the bubble, i saw a real interest in po

except for giving talks on douglas' narratives to teachers. i went to savanna georgia about 10 years ago to go talk to teachers and douglas' narrative because they were teaching it. apologies to some of you who may have heard this story. but my host at the georgia historical society said there's a local collectorer who want to meet you and have lunch and i said that's fine. that collector was walter evans, who is now a dear, dear friend and to whom this book is in part dedicated. he took me over tote his house d got on his very us to mobile table, his douglas collection. walter deserves a moment here. every speak about that again falter as many moments as they can. he's an african-american retired surgeon who grew up in segregated savanna, king arthur education, went to the michigan medical school part just in detroit for dirty sun years, which gave us a lot in common because i grew up in flint, michigan. although he has season tickets to the tigers and i could never afford them. at any rate, walter start collecting them in the 1970s. african-

you have to pick a narrative. either he is a nobody and turned a nobody cares about, or there was something educated they should look into you more. that is what i found perplexing. mr. papadopoulos: that is a great segue into the strange meetings. mr. cernovich: what is the strange meeting? mr. papadopoulos: let's go through this chronologically. i am in london officially at the time i am appointed a campaign adviser, based on -- and actually i had been in touch with corey lewandowski in 2015. julymr. cernovich: how did you get in touch with them? mr. papadopoulos: just send him a message. i was working at the hudson institute in washington, d.c., a think tank here, dealing with energy policy and the u.s. relationship with israel and egypt. i said, you know, i tired of the am establishment types. i love my mentors there, douglas fife, scooter libby, great guys. they really helped my political trajectory, i guess. but i just felt that this wasn't what represented america at that moment, especially after eight year

and civil society engagement to be well so she says the politicians alarming narrative. also with us is not to cut a check. chief in europe correspond with politico who argues that unfortunately populists of poison the debate to such an extent of the facts about it does. and a warm welcome to to torture veloso needed kimani who is a presenter and correspondent with d. w. based here in berlin. and eat it say's migration is as natural as the flow of rivers we can channel it. slow it down damage. but it will always be on the move. the practice in a and under advice begin with you if i might the parents everybody's talking about it is due to be endorsed in marrakech morocco in just about two weeks time. and you and secretary general antonio guterres has described as a truly historic agreement. what makes it so important? what makes it so important is that for the first time everyone agreed back in two thousand sixteen thirty what's the topic that needed to be this cost right of course because of recent into a situation is happening with the so called crisis in? two thousand

what we know from -- the narratives that remain to us have been written by the english. if you're talking about the continental united states and not florida. and of course there's always described -- we get the leaders, the executives of the virginia company for example being bewildered by why the englishman would go live with devil worshipers, that's what they were imagining, and of course they couldn't get out of that mindset. but the commoners got out of that mindset. anthropologists know this is the study of interaction between french colonists and native americans in the midwest now. if we draw by analogy by those studies shaws suggested is that the english settlers, went into the tribes, and probably took indian wives, they're children would grow up indian. we have many examples in later days of this happening. as a matter of fact, benjamin franklin comments on the fact that if a native american child is somehow kidnapped and brought into a white family the first chance they get they run back out to what the whites consider the wilderness. they don't want to stay

for the elite to be so dedicated to a narrative of guilt and shame. and one can seek an explanation in s ultimate power as you say that the progressive elites are speaking to control society and to imposed i guess a radical legaltarian agenda but one has to ask why is that? and it's complicated. i think for america, obviously, we did have an original sin at the start of this country which was our treatment of blacks, and it was very ugly and very -- hard for us to understand now how we could go for so many decades without seeing that fundamental contradiction many people did. and you know, one can say that even at the start the constitution foresaw that eventually this contradiction would be reconciled and worked out. nevertheless, it's understandable that we're guilty now eloquent about saying it is time to move beyond that and realize that we now provide equal opportunity in the opportunity for individuals to cease their own fate and better themselves through the exercise of values. but -- a large part of society wants to hold on to that guilt explo

economic crisis and i think a lot of this drive is as much about trying to shore up shakey official narratives and trying to shore up political systems in a situation of political crisis as it is actually about countering russian propaganda or i think i would suspect that's a little bit of an excuse here that really what's going on at problems much closer to home. this is not just to do the u.k. this is europe wide and there also are indications from the documents that they are intending to start to have some kind of impact within the united states a very wide ranging network that seems to be established reason why it needs to be covertly of course is that if a media organization or of a journalist is to let on that he or she is involved in a program which quite clearly is pushing a particular agenda then the credibility of that journalist will be damaged and this is really what is very deceptive about the integrity initiative it's about co-opting journalists and academics into a into essentially a campaign which appears to be a propaganda campaign in order to manipulate opinions and the only

perpetuated this narrative this fall the economy this idea that you have to choose and don't critique israel or be anti-semitic it's even more problematic because of the positive role that it could play in this conflict and this nurse that discussion will not be on c.n.n. because they fired dr hill but that would be a perfect place and a perfect opportunity to have this discussion i have worn it with that with us now from massachusetts professor alan dershowitz and john thanks so much for being here senator thank you. so cnn's treatment of the middle east conflict can be measured not just in the pro israel voices it pays to provide punditry like the former israeli ambassador to washington michael oren ex u.s. senator rick santorum and lawyer alan dershowitz but in the air time they are given israel wants peace and even the anti-defamation league has said gordon's opinions verge on conspiracy theories yet he's still a paid c.n.n. contributor and is often interviewed by wolf blitzer blitzer's bio on c.n.n.'s new site is as revealing about the network as it is about him it's an extensive

this is something -- when you mention the competing narratives. my meeting with joseph, he is the man who told me about emails that got me into trouble. know, toose who don't set the table for this. everyone who has been indicted is either a process crime or they claim they lied to the fbi, it is claimed they said he told him that when he talked about the emails, that conversation happened a month earlier and he was already on the campaign and been approached about the emails. lied to the fbi and that hindered their investigation. process crime, obstruction of justice. that is what they got him for. there was no collusion or anything like that. when you read the documents, it is always where we you in 2015? do you are member where you were in june or july? you were actually here. they know better than you before they ask the question. that is why they got him. the timeline is important for that reason. mr. papadopoulos: i let this company no, i am leaving and going back to washington. i am out of london. i was tired of london and wanted to get bac

have been able to pick that up so so they know where it probably came from but it doesn't fit their narrative entered julian assange in a secret court and all that all that you pull all the threads together you tie it up into one little pretty bow that the western media the liberal media will sell it saying gotcha joe what's your reaction. well absolutely in fact it goes back to two thousand and ten what the afghan war logs and the iraq collateral damage tape that's when julian and his lawyers believe the indictment was first made but now we do does bring itself very clearly into the russia gate story and miller and luke harding a journalist told journalists at the guardian here that the british government has a journalist masquerading as a as a clown you know go ahead. yeah but the real change here also is the ecuadorian government changed the previous government left wing under correll gave him a songe asylum was protecting him and this his status would not have changed but the new government is very close to the u.s. and has been pressured by pants vice president prince and others and they

but it was a two-story and shakespeare had a scoop, so to speak, he got it from a narrative that was written by a friend of his a crony who would share drinks with him at the mermaid tavern in london. he was on board the ship and the name of the ship was the sea venture it was the flagship of the third resupply of jamestown which had been founded a couple years earlier. a toehold at that time on the entire vast north american continent, the only english colony overseas. there were about nine ships filled out from london sliding down the thames river, flags billowing, crowds cheering and the biggest overseas endeavor that england had put together up to this point. heading into the empire business pretty late in trying to catch up with spain and portugal and even trying to catch up with friends who got a slow start. they had beautiful weather when they put england into the rearview mirror. weather like this, blue skies, wonderful breezes and normally what people would do going across the ocean even if they were going to the chesapeake is island hot going on a southern route but they to

mike: there are two conflicting narratives. one is that "he was a nobody staffer who didn't know anything." the next story is one month into the campaign, they were soliciting you. i thought you have to pick one. does not know anything -- that is what i always found perplexing. george: that is a great segue into the strange meetings. let's go through this chronologically. i was in london officially at the time, i was appointed a campaign advisor. i had been in touch with corey lewandowski in 2015. mike: how did you get in touch with him? george: i sent him a message, and i was working at the hudson institute in washington, d.c. dealing with energy policy and the u.s. relationship with israel. i said i am tired of the establishment types. my mentors there, great guys. they really helped my political trajectory. i felt that this was not what represented america at that moment. especially after eight years of obama. 28 years old at -- i said "i want to join a campaign, and i want to leave hudson," and i was thinking about joining
