10:33 pm
a world the real donald trump rarely steps foot in or tweets from trump today denounced white supremacy but he did not propose gun walls and ignore his hateful speeches and tweets about migrants he today said the genesis of hate crimes must be mental illness violent video games and as expected the fake news media our coverage begins tonight from the white house my fellow i'm in an emotional speech trump described to shoot his he carried out separate massacres in texas and ohio as mentally ill make the us president's call to speedy death penalties for hate crimes in to today i'm also directing the department of justice to propose legislation ensuring that those who commit hate crimes and mass murders face the death penalty and that this capital punishment be delivered quickly decisively and
10:34 pm
without years of needless to lay these are just a few of the areas of cooperation that we can pursue in his 1st public remarks and spends a tax at the weekend trying to condemn the hatred in american society the shooter in el paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate. in one voice our nation must condemn racism bigotry and white supremacy these sinister ideologies must be defeated hate has no place in america hatred warps the mind ravages the heart and devours the soul men women and children gunned down as they shopped this will not still in el paso texas people have paid tributes to the victims of the makeshift memorial overlooking the store's parking lot 13 hours later a young man in his twenty's opened fire in
10:35 pm
a knight's life districts of dates and ohio one of the victims was the gunman sr 6 authors were african-american tributes were also placed at the scene. both communities on left united in grief as pressure for tighter gun controls mounts in the u.s. . will the president's words make a difference in america's mass shooting nightmare my 1st guest tonight says the conditions for change and gun reform are better than they've been in a long time he points to the front page of the conservative and trump friendly new york post from today the headline reads america is scared and we need bold action it's time to ban weapons of war and unusual headline for that paper i'm happy to welcome back to the day the nationally syndicated talk radio host and political commentator ethan baronies and it's good to have you on the show again
10:36 pm
you're in los angeles tonight says the u.s. and mass shootings they of you know they've been a tragic pair for more than 2 decades why do you think there is momentum now to get gun control reform passed into law. well there are a couple of big issues there 1st is exactly as you just pointed out even a conservative newspaper that is very pro trump is finally speaking up that it's the weapons of war in the hands of people with hate in their heart who are able to gun down dozens of people in under a minute law enforcement was there it both locations this weekend to stop these shooters very quickly and yet dozens of people are still dead it's because of the weapons that are able to be in their hands democrats have taken over the house of representatives here in the united states one of the 2. houses in the legislative branch there is momentum heading into the 2020 alexion republicans are retiring
10:37 pm
quickly in large numbers because they see what president trump has done to their party with his insightful rhetoric that he has done on twitter and his name calling is couching language towards white supremacist white nationalists it's been bad and dangerous and president trump did basically nothing today to address the actual crisis that we're facing yeah i want to talk about his speech in just a 2nd i want to take of though on what you've been advocating you say that there should be a ban on all firearms example revolvers shotguns and single cartridge rifles and you want the us to do what else troia did several decades ago you want the state to buy back all the weapons that are in circulation i mean if the democrats controlled all of congress and the white house maybe that would happen but that just doesn't seem likely anytime soon so aren't you really aren't you still engaged in wishful thinking here. absolutely not wishful thinking so we have
10:38 pm
a couple of different issues go all the way back to the founding of our country and 792 shortly after the constitution the bill of rights were ratified the united states government actually implemented very fierce gun control laws in 792 this is not unheard of we have a super conservative supreme court justice antonin scalia in the heller decision in 2008 wrote section 3 authorizing and recognizing that gun control and legislation regulation is absolutely part of the history of our constitution and the 2nd amendment now to actually implement it you're right we're going have to wait til 2021 because i don't believe that enough republicans have a spine in them to stand up to the corrupt and russian funded n.r.a. and i understand that a lot of people in the hobby and i've fired many of these firearms myself i've fired an a r 15 i was in the army reserve i don't get why people want the right to
10:39 pm
defend themselves but to go kill dozens of americans in under a minute we need to change something other countries have violent video games and other countries have like germany have the internet however germany implemented very strong psychological background checks before you put a weapon like this in somebodies hands united states could follow on those lines as well if that's true the u.s. president spoke today to the nation after his speech you tweeted i want to pull that up and show our viewers you tweeted that it's all mental health it's from a president and the g.o.p. the republicans who runs on health care coverage for lower income elderly and those who don't get insurance through their 3 part time jobs this poor reading by trump is sad and hypocritical i mean so you've got mental health there he also doubled down on the media today he called for faster death penalty for domestic terrorists
10:40 pm
and as you were saying he blamed video games so all in all did he help or hurt today. he hurt and again i want to reemphasize the hypocritical point he shortly after taking office president trump repealed and obama era regulation that helped prevent firearms getting into the hands of people who have been deemed dangerous with mental illness president trump signed that at the end of february in 2017 early in his term so anything to talk about mental illness and firearms is hypocritical on the part of this president and again to the republicans since the enactment of the affordable care act have fought tooth and nail to defund it to repeal it they have no replacement so americans will lose health care coverage will lose access to health care mental health is health care so unless they're going to
10:41 pm
put up they're absolutely hypocritical to talk about that today everything that they talked about was hypocritical and they never addressed the high firing rate semiautomatic firearms that are able to kill dozens of people in under a minute when a police officer is there to stop it it's unbelievable to me i don't believe any positive think him out of today well it'll be interesting to see what happens moving forward we've we've been here many times and we've had these conversations many times let's see if this time it will be different even behrman joining us tonight from los angeles either we appreciate your time and your insights tonight from the west coast thank you thanks frank. india has ended a constitutional provision that govern its relationship with the disputed region of kashmir the abolition of article 370 means that the state of jungle in kashmir will
10:42 pm
no longer enjoy near thomas control over its affairs now this special status has so far formed the cornerstone of india's policy in kashmir now let's go to the map here the entire shaded area you see right there is the region of kashmir that india and pakistan both claim that it was a princely state at the time of india's independence back in 1947 but it decided to join india war followed and control was eventually divided between the 2 countries now article $370.00 governed india's relationship with the part under indeed administration gave it control over all of the years except foreign affairs defense and communication will that has now ended. outrage in india's parliament india's government stunned opposition nor make as by
10:43 pm
announcing its revoking what has been the basis of kashmir's complex relationship with india for decades delhi said it is scrapping article $370.00 which gave cash misspell status on general. this special status of jammu and kashmir is going to be automatically null and void. the heavily militarized kashmir region has long been a flashpoint with neighboring pakistan the 2 nuclear powers to fought 2 wars over its both india and pakistan claim the region in full but each control only a pot china also a claim to section delis decision to remove the indian administered state of jammu and kashmir autonomy also includes lee. being a ban on property purchases by nonresidents opening the way for indians to invest and settle their own twitter some criticized this decision by the hindu nationalist led government to take control of its only muslim majority region outside the indian embassy in the pakistani capital islamabad kashmiri refugees protested.
10:44 pm
ah yes the occasion of that is the opinion of the article there can any indian stay as a student it will grab you and i quite he can be still going off. and secondly indian occupied don't want to kashmir has been directly given by indian. and it is known as somebody no no no if you've misread served up in a way are protesting here or reject indian kind of tactics pakistan condemned india's move calling its illegal and following countermeasures as i was before the announcement the indian government launched a security crackdown in india that minister to kashmir arresting regional leaders and suspending telephone and internet services now comes the risk that political and legal battles may spill over into violence on the streets of kashmir. yeah
10:45 pm
that's a big risk indeed to talk about that i'm joined in our washington studio now by sort of doomy he's a resident fellow at the american enterprise institute and he's a cohen tator on south asia sudden it's good to have you on the show we appreciate you coming in to talk with us this evening i want to pull up a tweet that you posted earlier today for our viewers you wrote it's too early to say if this revocation will end up being seen as a wise decision or a historic blunder but 2 things are clear india has ignored miry sentiment and has taken a risky decision with almost unfathomable implications i mean that's quite a statement if it's that risky why is the indian government doing. well you know you have to go back to the hindu nationalist ideology of the ruling party in india. a party for their. era which is india's only muslim
10:46 pm
majority state has always held special significance and i think that a given to this sort of this notion that you can approach these complex historical issues. musculo way now i'm not you know none of us is in a position today just happened today to know and know exactly how this will pan out but i think that the more serious thinkers about this issue would you know would point to the fact that this is just as likely to alienate. to fan the flames of militancy to internationalize the issue in a way that actually is not in india's interest than it is to sort of you know act as some kind of magic bullet which will magically integrate kashmiri muslims into the national mainstream. as we understand it what happened today is the constitution was changed with 370 being abolished without
10:47 pm
a vote and also without consultation of the people and so if you look at it in its totality was was this legal was it constitutional. well there is a vote i mean they did vote in part they voted in the upper house of parliament and they will vote in the lower house of parliament whether as to whether a simple majority vote is sufficient and whether the parliament has can can legally override what is affectively in a contract with the state that it would not ever it would not override this provision without a recommendation from the state assembly of the state is an open question and i think you know that there will be a legal challenge but we shouldn't get you know lost in the weeds on the legal issue i mean the larger fact is that the kashmiri politicians were not consulted people including many politicians who have historically taken
10:48 pm
a very pro india line and have proved the state for you know much of the past few decades they have been arrested the internet has been cracked it has been shut down phone services have been caught so you know in many ways the kashmiris particularly in the valley but have been you know treated effectively as an enemy people and 2 i think for those of us who would like to be integrated in into india while respecting the people and respecting the wishes of the local people and the sense of autonomy that they have grown used to i think this is an increase from the warring. time so i don't want to ask you i mean we know that there are skirmishes almost all the time between pakistan and india along the border what does today's move do to the possibility of these skirmishes boiling up to something bigger than you know into a full scale military confrontation. now that's a very good question you know the short answer is we don't know because i think
10:49 pm
i've asked the moment you know india has well over 500000 troops and paramilitary forces in kashmir i don't think that baucus than is really in a position to up the military and so i'm less concerned about i mean anything is possible but i'm less concerned about an immediate sort of conflagration i'm more concerned about kind of the long term implications off this oh. all right a sudden with the american enterprise institute someone we appreciate you taking the time to come into our studios tonight and sharing your insights thank you good to be here. yemen is home to what is often called the world's forgotten war more than 90000 people have died since the conflict between the saudi backed government and pro iranian who the rebels began back in 2015 millions have fled fighting in famine yet incredibly east african migrants from ethiopia and somalia are heading towards
10:50 pm
yemen not to stay but rather to cross on their way to more prosperous saudi arabia but those plans often turn out to be a trap trapped in yemen that is where our correspondent funny is genine she picks up the story from the. yemen is at war with itself something they know very little about. said. he's the youngest migrant i meet today he arrived by boat with his brother from one of about 100 this man is haunted by images of the dangerous crossing. out of many when we got into the there was no water and no food. it was too windy. some people had to stand others were sitting in. the boat
10:51 pm
was very crowded. that. the ones who do make landfall then have to walk for days did desert. these young man paid a couple of $100.00 to reach their goal saudi arabia tried to find work but with all the all certainty and instability in yemen it's completely unclear really are these migrants will end. an estimated 100000 migrants reached yemen from africa every year this migration route is less known compared to the want to europe through sudan and libya and it's cheaper but dangerous yemen is littered with land mines. an aid organization stops by there only prepared to talk off the record i hear most migrants will never reach saudi arabia most of the met the person or 85 percent is that you know that because there is a war in libya. one of the places in war torn yemen where migrants are drawn into
10:52 pm
the conflict in aden i meet one of the yemeni smugglers wants to remain anonymous the war in yemen of forced him into smuggling he says a month there are no jobs we can't find anything else to do but working at sea. fishing for people. makes smuggling a lucrative business he earns the equivalent of $400.00 euros dollar of it each migrant he tells me i'm not smuggling business is widespread because there's no security no stability no good living the business is flourishing now. yemenis are struggling because chronic unemployment and poverty in their midst the stranded migrants. arrived 2 months ago from. he says he was beaten by smugglers and has no money left to continue his journey his message to other migrants just to
10:53 pm
tell them not to come in to try to make good to make it to any country. as much as possible. they have to stay in their home in the home. but the smugglers promise that the migrants we reach tell to abiah who continue to pull them even to a country that has as many problems as yemen. or the miserable situation. reports from yemen she's now back in. nigeria good evening to you. i mean when i see your report in the conditions they are i just have to wonder how do these migrants manage to survive in yemen i mean they can barely feed themselves and that can't. bread they're pretty much at the mercy of the smugglers that are supposed to feed them for the money that they give them the couple of $100.00 but it's oftentimes not the case according to the migrants if you have spoken to they say
10:54 pm
they've been beaten they've been tortured by the migrants that are trying to squeeze out the last cent that they have or are trying to threaten actually defilements back home in ethiopia to squeeze more money out of them then again we went through the deserts ourselves for 100 kilometers at least and met some and you organizations that are randomly according to what you have seen a randomly distributing selma very basics like water or some cookies but of course you can well imagine after going through that very very difficult pass from east africa to yemen you're already very exhausted you're already very tired so a lot of people actually don't even make it through the desert so if you can make it to aid to the next big city but the ones who do. make you there who do actually arrive alive try to get through by begging but of course we all know that millions of people in yemen are struggling to survive there are beggars themselves so it is really a vicious circle brad trying to survive trying to make it actually to their goal which most people most migrants do not yet if most do not make it there then the
10:55 pm
word is getting your round or their efforts to get the money. the most they want to effort if you knew about this the u.n. agency i am that is trying to get a couple of 100 migrants i would that this side to voluntarily leave yemen to go back to but of course spread as you know the country is in war and in the south it is being controlled but it's telling you that the coalition and what's left of the yemeni government they damn self says there is a rift both within the saudi led coalition between the united arab emirates and saudi arabia but also a rift between the cell of the u.s. coalition and what's left of the yemeni government practically spoken it's not even clear holidays people can actually board an airplane but once that are we just have to fly back to fly the delayed or the end of even getting all of the country a very desperate and in many ways
10:56 pm
a very hopeless situation for the brant already there from it's your reporting from the important story you're bringing each of the world from yemen on the thank you very much. the day is almost gone the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter you can follow me of golf t.v. and remember no matter what happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you going to.
