al-jazeera. going on. in less than a year united states has seen 2 of the deadliest white supremacist attacks in its recent history. in october of 2018 a gunman murdered 11 jewish worshipers at the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh pennsylvania. then in august 22 people were shot dead in an attempt to kill as many latinos as possible in el paso texas. just 9 months apart these attacks were connected through the ideology of white

supremacy and only read gradually. i think we all come to realize how extensive this underground network is of people who have bought into this hateful belief system. those things are being nurtured by our president and his language and actually stoked it gives license to people like the shooter to do violence against communities. the pittsburgh suspect was critical of donald trump and they'll pass so shooter distance himself from the president in his manifesto. but both men frame their actions as responses to crises real or imagined that the president has amplified even echoing his language about minorities and immigrants out of florida rally in may the president rhetorical he asked the crowd what he should do with migrants who cross the border but how do you stop these but one of the president's supporters yelled secure them and the president but that's only in the panhandle

you can get away with that. in the wake of these shootings conservative pundits with large platforms have also come under scrutiny white supremacy that's the problem this is a hoax it's a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power is if the president you should have your credit file for which you are well leaders sit passively back as the invasion continues the number one conservative media for us in the united states is fox news channel or trustworthy our country is being stolen. in this episode of faultlines we examine the ideology behind these recent attacks. and how this racist discourse is seeping into the mainstream.

i just remember hearing a lot of people screaming for screaming for the. man didn't see this then i remember seeing the sun and hearing the helicopters man after all she's basically cheese lain down. and praying that he wouldn't kill my daughter and then did because he went through to the same door that she was and. on august 3rd louise covey a was at a wal-mart store in el paso texas when a 21 year old white supremacist opened fire luis a u.s. army veteran was shot 5 times so when he shot me i turned around towards the direction that i heard the shots from and that's when i saw him and the weapon that he was carrying he wasn't saying nothing he was just shooting randomly after 5 surgeries in more than 2 months in the hospital luis has finally made it home. to a little girl. invite everyone to come over.

on the day of the attack the reason his family went to wal-mart to promote a fundraiser for his 10 year old daughter soccer team. 5 of the parents were shot. all the girls escaped but when the waist woke up he learned that his father or his garcia was among the 22 people murdered that day. when i was so sedated i had asked about my dad and they told me what had happened to him and the righteous cried a lot that i just cried and cried and cried but when i woke up i mean i knew that he wasn't around us anymore and. i was in there to say the last good bye i was in there and he got up and made it. out he just came out after i woke up i say i got out. i got to come support so i wanted to come support.

every dollar god it's a stand that if it would end i would have created out that facebook like my god they're right because he didn't know anything about the fundraiser. he might have been alive you know i mean it's just it just sucks you know. you don't have witnesses described the gunman passing over some of the white customers while targeting anyone who booked latino to him. after the shooting the we saw his wife marcella read the gunman's manifesto searching for answers you read it in the you know this is happening because one person in flames because of everything that he saying because everything that he he simply wants an end to this you might see i mean you put one to the other you know then go there almost as warner what he says about the texas and they show no hispanics and that hispanics that were taking over the job. were taking over everything our president makes it seem like that every

person across the bridge is a criminal and if that's not the case the criminals come from here and what they do . the number of hate crime murders last year was the highest in over 20 years according to f.b.i. data. over the years black americans have faced the most frequent incidents of hate crimes and 2018 saw an increase in the targeting of latinos. dr kathleen ballou studies the history of the white power movement in america these aren't just one off events they are part of a rising wave of action these activists share a common set of ideologies symbols phrases and kind of modes of action that connect them with one another now that's important not only to understand the meaning of each of these acts of violence but to connect them together as part of a movement would print out the manifesto from they'll paso shooter and i don't want to give him

a platform but is this white supremacy i know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame traps rhetoric the media is infamous for fake news he says immediately repeating jobs rhetoric right. it also has a lot of highly symbolic coded phrases that would be familiar to somebody in this movement. like hispanic invasion of texas replacement invasion replacement this is become popular recently and it's another example of this idea of the white race being overrun by other people invasion is now attached to this idea of replacement and invasion of immigrants has to do with the feeling of being overrun by people of color if you look at the moment in which the both of those attacked attacks happened they both came on the back of president trump voicing very loudly his opinion that this century there was an invasion going on to the united states this is an invasion when you see these caravans starting out with 20000 people that's an invasion i was badly criticized for using the word invasion it's an invasion

there's no question that trims words influence them and there's no question that trump was influenced by the work of tucker carlson and others at fox news this is not immigration immigration happens with the consent of the host country this is happening by force without our consent happening at the border is a flat out invasion we are being overwhelmed every day calling anything but an invasion at this point is just not being honest with people tonight a system wide meltdown at our so the border this is real democrats who want to replace you the american voters with newly amnestied citizens their political success does not depend on good policies but on demographic replacement some people call it an invasion it's like an invasion is it particularly dangerous when the president states so frequently uses the word invasion in that its validated by every girl on your favorite and there's a real big difference between taking up

a gun and following this rhetoric to its farthest implication but those activists look for opportunities to use and weaponize whatever in the prevailing culture. trump condemned the attacks in pittsburgh and el paso 2 days after a past so he read a prepared speech from the white house good morning in one voice our nation must condemn racism bigotry and white supremacy these sinister ideologies must be defeated. the white house did not respond to our request for comment. a month after the wal-mart attack national lawmakers hosted a hearing in el paso examining the relationship between anti immigrant rhetoric and domestic terrorism no republican members of congress attended. unfortunately it is only to be fitting that this hearing is being held in el paso

a place that has had $2.00 and $2.00 on the target painted on our backs because of anti immigrant rhetoric and the rhetoric has only escalated over time for many of us those words have become a matter of life and. can you draw through line between the rhetoric of president trump in the conservative media in america to what happened here in el paso obviously the actions that that individual took are his actions his responsibility but there is also a direct line from the rhetoric that we have heard from the president. quarreling immigrants thugs and rapists invaders infestation of this country. the the murder of his own man a fast so you some of the same terms practically quoted it. it's been just over a year since a white supremacist opened fire in pittsburgh tree of life synagogue and what they

came the deadliest attack on jews in american history. the perpetrator allegedly targeted the synagogue because one of the congregations there had hosted a service in support of immigrants calling it a refugee ship but. it was part of a national project spearheaded by hyas a global jewish nonprofit that aids refugees and it started out as the jewish immigrant. and it was helping people like my grandparents come from russia and it was helping jews they now say we used to help immigrants because they were jews now we help immigrants because we are jews. carolyn and donna are leaders of door had dosh one of the 3 jewish congregations targeted at the synagogue that day. before the attack the alleged shooter posted online

highest likes to bring him baiters and to kill our people i can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered screw your optics i'm going got the new movie address unfortunately from has this website because we were listed as a congregation that was participating in the national refugee chabad and i found that out. talk about my heart sank and that it was in comprehensible still in comprehensible something will carry with us yesterday doing something that you thought was the night and totally harmless activity likely. that it would. lead this man to the door is horrific i've always believed in social justice human rights and it's what i do i never whine that to hurt anyone else or lead to anyone else being hurt so it's you know it's.

something that i struggle with though is that you know something our small committee did. and was supported by their congregation led to this man coming and killing 11 souls. but let me let me just correct you chris we've had this conversation. and what you did not lead to this there were many things that led to this man coming nobody would have wanted us to disassociate ourselves with high. and we know that this man ringback simply hated jews and he was looking for jews to kill if it hadn't been us it would have been others and it was only as we as the press dug further into his social media that i began to realize and all of us again how much he was involved in this whole underground network of. white supremacy of hate

and how much that is at its core are so deeply antisymmetric belief system in which the jews are behind everything somehow. in the white power movement jewish people are seen as part of a corrupt international global elite that dominates the united states and is bent on the eradication of the white race in the tree of life shooting we even have a clear example of that connection because the attacker talked about the relationship between that synagogue and efforts to help refugees and to. help with aid to people coming into the nation in the weeks leading up to the shooting president and conservative media figures focused on a caravan on bike routes trying to legally claim asylum at the u.s. southern border we watched another migrant caravan snake its way up from central america caravan it's an invasion and we are getting some really bad characters

coming into this country to president bush to claim that so-called a no middle easterners have infiltrated the caribbean and certainly you have people coming up through the southern border. from the middle east and other places that are not appropriate for our country but even what i says even one poison pill is too many in a caravan i fear is that some of them are radical islamist terrorists where are they from who brought them here why are they coming here also furthered a debunked conspiracy theory that the caravan was funded by billionaire george soros a frequent target of the semitic attacks by the right who do you think is behind these caravans a lot of speculation that is george sure as you can tell the democrats george soros and the angry mob that's coming here you know we've got caught in the right way like everyone else or be ready to face the military and the right to request asylum at the u.s. border is protected under both u.s. and international law so it's 2018 it's right before the midterms and he

starts to whip the public up into this frenzy by using the migrant caravan you've got some people on those groups you've got some tough people in those something that happens all the time that is never a story and he decided to make it a story it was all anybody could talk about and it became. a means for him to whip up his base into this idea of invasion into this idea of of people pouring across the border and that the only way to stop them is to have his you know his his war will trump get the funding for his wall while the mass migration from other poor countries in central america be stopped at all ever the white house has vowed to stop this caravan using the armed forces if necessary but it keeps coming and so it was it was a rallying cry for the people on the very fringes on the very far right that they needed to take it upon themselves to go and be on the front lines and stop this

from happening and what fox does is create that final sense of wow it's happening and it's happening now and so what took place with the tree of life is they spent so many weeks hammering home not just that it was happening but that nobody was doing anything about it fox news again came under scrutiny after they all passed a shooting. and a number of companies even which are their advertisements for tucker carlson show so this is one of the things that tucker carlson said immediately after the shooting you know. that white supremacy was a hoax if you were to assemble a list a hierarchy of concerns or problems this country faces why wouldn't white supremacy be on the list right up there with russia probably it's actually not a real problem in america white supremacy that's the problem this is a hoax just like the russian hoax what's amazing about this in particular is that they call he calls this a hoax which we know is not true but every bit of data ringback says that right

wing extremism and white supremacy is committing more acts of terrorism and committing more acts of murder in the states then any other form of political terror president trump and fox news have an unusually close relationship since trump came into office at least 20 people have worked both for his administration and fox news and again doctors been very good i have to say. mark really great doctor we know that he watches tucker carlson we know he retreats in all the time and there are like people done research showing that like the story will pop up on the far right side like in fact i was tucker carlson will decide to do a segment on it and minutes later the president trump will stop tweeting about the very same issue that tucker carlson just did a show on. fox news declined our request for interviews with 2 of the most prominent hosts tucker carlson and laura ingram. they've said this in the fischel

on the record statement from fox news says fox news tonight is all forms of racism and the defamatory reckless accusations about our hosts are both they're responsible and dangerous. for 17 years straight fox news has been the most watched cable news network in america. and it's consistently home to 4 of the top 5 cable news programs in the country. number 2 on that list is tucker carlson show we have one more shot here to try to talk to tucker and it's we believe we have a cell phone so we're going to give him a call and listen if we can get him on the line. a little gold for tucker carlson is this josh rushing with faultlines on al-jazeera . just sound so i'm actually standing out in front of fox news just hoping to talk to you. know how much and i.

say. this is what i mean i have an hour long live show you do it speaks. nothing. but we've watched a lot of your show what i mean is like down in el paso there are people who say that they feel like they you in the right your rhetoric to target on their back. yeah. yes. well i think that these are the people who are survived the shooting say that they feel like there's a target on the back because of the kind of rhetoric that you put out on a nightly basis what would you say to them not to me but to the. arsonist. but i. suppose. that's that's when you're struck down you're picking the guy up fox you can tell him that you want to sit down and talk right i mean you have like the biggest program on there for a young audience the only growing program on there i think the president united states stands up and says your name lavishly praises your name. tucker.

22 people that killed here in the past so that it was not a hoax was untrue and kill all those people somebody that believed in those i.d.'s so how can it be a hoax. for somebody that has bodyguards but for us now even going into a store is dangerous. we don't know when the next cycle is going to show up or what minds he could've awakened you know another little kid wants to meet him and follow the steps or do something or they are. friends whoa we've come to believe you know if you want to vote after they'll pass to attack the new york times reported that in the previous 7 months president trump

campaign could run at least 2000 facebook ads with the word invasion. that we saw not just that fox news ramped up the attacks but then obviously the trump campaign started running thousands of facebook ads. since the shooting his campaign this spent over a $1000000.00 on immigration related facebook ads. more than on any other political issue this year i think trump and fox news see what happened in el paso as unfortunate but sort of something that's going to happen when you launch a campaign like this they see the political benefits of of making americans terrified about immigrants coming into this country and using that as a rallying cry they want to have drugs pouring into our country you have to have a wall and you have to stop it we don't want dangerous criminal alien drawing free

in north carolina we want to take care of it. and so when i think about what happened on. in the summer and how the very next day they double down on that not just the terminology but the warnings behind it they understand now that that is a tool in their tool kit and worse that it's probably the one of their most effective ones in this moment they labeled i mean you know they're running the drug they're doing out and about and that's what you see general graphic quick demographic change nearly it can get very dangerous for them and have you looked at all the people who make you feel you. think they've been raped you will let them come let them come in leaving you know most of the president like you don't want this son of a gun out of there you do what you never got to the conference you can't do anything no what we've seen is we've seen trump go back to his playbook as he launches his

campaign for 2020 i mean he launched his his campaign by calling mexican immigrants rapists and murderers and food literally at his 1st press conference so that's been his message all along it's really important that people start realizing if you characterize people as as as criminals and faders and bad or you talk about shoes in particular ways even folks fear in people people can't so afraid and not just people being shot but people being treated differently differently all over the country. as the 2020 presidential election looms the nation's attention will be on president trump the words he uses in the power to carry if you have the largest pop form on the planet and you decide to use that to amplify the white supremacist ideas

then whether you are a racist or not whether you are truly racist or not is is kind of moot there's always been racism always in this country. but i think since trump got to be president it's acceptable to be racist and the president is a racist so now it's acceptable to be a racist. in league with racists or you are truly racist yourself but in terms of the impact of what you're saying and doing it doesn't really matter and he seen the consequences and he doesn't care. he sees a consequences and he still the care to protect your family your much to feed open borders and by the way we're building that wall and it's gone up or on.
