NATO proven feckless again as Erdogan asserts dominance ahead of G20 (Full show)
By: ['Russia Today']
Date: 2021-10
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to expel ten ambassadors from his country, seven of whom represent fellow member states of NATO. The move stems from the ambassadors signing onto an open letter urging the release of a Turkish businessman associated with the political opposition. Erdogan reversed his decision at the last minute after the economic repercussions of the intended expulsions became apparent. RT America’s Faran Fronczak reports the details from outside the Turkish embassy in Washington, DC. Then Daniel McAdams of the Ron Paul Institute shares his insights.
Geophysicist and professor Dorian Abbot was disinvited from the John Carlson Lecture on Climate Change at MIT because of an article he wrote arguing that privileging diversity in race and gender on college applications has a deleterious effect on academia and that merit alone should be considered in college applications. However, MIT’s attempt to “cancel” Abbot ultimately brought more attention to his views. RT America’s Natasha Sweatte has the details. Then former police officer Dominick Izzo and civil rights attorney Robert Patillo weigh in. They also discuss Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ stated aim of granting $5,000 bonuses to unvaccinated police officers who relocate to Florida. This comes as the nationwide COVID-19 mandate is forcing the resignation of vaccine-hesitant officers across the country. Plus, Lionel of Lionel Media joins to discuss the legal ramifications of the shooting death of a videographer Halyna Hutchins when actor Alec Baldwin accidentally shot a “prop gun” with live ammunition in it.
