ballot based on north sued by the montana democratic party green party members claimed they were left short of the signatures needed to register after supporters were pressured by the democrat the green party manager michael o'neill believes the petition should still stand. this was a valid petition that was filed people were asked if they wanted to sign a petition to have green party candidates on the ballot in the general election in november now we are not naive about republican motives for wanting to circulate a petition for a 3rd party or an independent candidate however. the logic of those republican operatives is that a candidate can take votes away from another candidate and the greens reject that argument it's impossible to take away a vote from a candidate until that vote has been cast until the vote has been cast the vote belongs to the voter and so if these voters signed a valid petition of their own free will but they want to see green party candidates on the ballot in november that petition should stand and if we want to get dark money or misleading financing out of poli

between the big 2 parties in a botched bonnet about story just coming up in a few moments time. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalists attacks particularly catholic population in belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was that the or you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of the streets in belfast i think more than 100 innocent. if you can see in yours and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and the degree to which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would lead to be named. i think it went to do very very top i think if the. politicians you. give the go ahead. the program the city of show in wisconsin declared a curfew until the morning over on the rest of the city triggered by the shooting of a black man you might find the following footage distressing. angry crowds gathered over a video appearing to show polic

to be 30 representatives from the green party in there. wen there are 30 in there, will be known as the negotiators that will go between the democrats and republicans to hammer out the best bill instead of just one-sided bills. bipartisanship does not always work between democrats and republicans, but with 30 green party negotiators, we can hammer out the best bill for the country and the nation. host: thanks, caller. guest: yeah, i think that is an interesting point for us, when you think of the green party, you often think of climate change and clean energy policy, and for us as young people, we see that being a real motivator, even a u-boat -- even a motivator for young republicans. we know that there is probably only 30% to 35% of the young voters that are self identified republicans, but we do see them really split with the party on the issues like climate change and clean energy. so i would not be surprised, as the republican party continues to be the party that goes against science or perhaps is looking at fossil fuels rather than t

green party's michael o'neill believes the most media coverage of the big conventions is biased. i think that each corporate cable news network has their own constituency and their own marketing demographic that they are catering to and so you will have fox news which will be very aggressive about reporting on allegedly wrongdoings on the part of the democratic party and then you'll have m s n b c or c.n.n. which will be very aggressive about providing documentation on the wrong doings of donald trump and the republicans meanwhile c.n.n. and the sunday see will ignore the rank injustices and undemocratic practices of the democratic party so they're not really engaging in news they just have a market that they've identified that they are catering to and the idea of a complete objectivity i don't think is useful but also the idea of just tailoring your news coverage specifically to make your particular slice of the american people feel good is also a negative trend. here without say all the way families of british health workers who lost their lives on the front lines of the battle
