eighteen months the pentagon started through troves of public embarrassment because of their want to be biggest for instance this march donald trump casually remark that u.s. troops would be pulling out of syria in the nearest future the bomb shell decision the pentagon was not only unaware of but also disagreed with apparently will become a serial like very soon let the other people take care of it now very so very soon become and i've heard rumors of people talking about the trial but it's not over what is the announcement this week changing anything in that sense nothing actually has changed fast forward next month trump says he wants to deploy the national guard on the mexican border but let's just say the pentagon didn't have too much fun when it had to take the rap for this we're going to be guarding our border with the military members who are of this overall expanded operation so that will all be determined by the requirements that are given to us first but i don't have any

government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the u.s. military. or get rich in coffee this list of when trump pushed the pentagon right under the bus is nowhere near complete so with the space force initiative the u.s. military's well apparently struggling to get its hands back on the steering wheel he says i but he welcomes the advice from the likes of of madison and pompei o. who are all considered a war cabinet but he makes the ultimate decisions when it's time for a decision but when it comes to throwing out ideas that doesn't necessarily mean he's consulted with anybody he came up with the idea before consulting with anybody he made it known publicly and then once he began to get briefed on the issue i
6:33 am
think he's beginning to understand that the space force per se may not be the way to go although i don't think he's ruled it out entirely. a british man who worked as an inspector at an american military base in germany is now suing the u.s. army and david patterson and his colleagues who unknowingly exposed to a high concentration of the toxic substance cadmium the u.s. army sending a warning letter only a year after the job was done back in twenty seventeen he was overseeing the cleaning of contaminated equipment. just a couple of minutes from head to said i was covering this white powdery substance a bit like talking very fine variable and not laws we actually started cleaning these boxes with. any training information. early any knowledge of the danger or what we're actually doing with those boxes whatsoever in

6:39 am
sets a goal up with a russian passport since then he's participated in everything from charity concerts to martial arts competitions in order to bring the u.s. and russia closer together and with relations between both countries at an all time low one might think anything to help the situation should be a breath of fresh air but that sentiment hasn't made much headway in the mainstream media and the hysteria hasn't stopped there the former u.s. ambassador to russia even took to twitter slamming signals appointment as an apparently desperate move strange though a celebrity from the west saying something positive about russia the whole story seems awfully familiar.
6:40 am
western stars are committing what has already become an unforgettable sin associating with russia but despite all the criticism it's put them under many people are questioning why it should negatively impact one's profession donald corder r.t. . with down's syndrome who was carrying a toy gun has been shot dead by swedish police erik to rally was taken to hospital but shortly after died from his injuries three policemen arrived after an urgent call reportedly from the neighbors from seoul terrelle with a toy gun to mistook it for a real one they ordered him to discard what they believed to be a dangerous weapon after he failed to comply officers judge the situation as threatening and started to shoot in order to prevent such fatal mistakes the

6:42 am
a youth activist and police adviser ken hines who believes such a tragedy could only have been avoided if the police had been trained differently. if we want to do something we've got to look at the type of training these police officers undertake i wasn't there i don't know the full circumstances but what i do know a young man has lost his life the likely outcome the police will be find that it was justify their in their actions and i don't think that they will farai that anything regarding their procedure was wrong what they have to look on is their policy around vulnerable people whether they are men or women the lesson is can be learned and must be learned from such tragedy so that we can avoid other similar types atrocity happen in. a museum dedicated to news is making headlines
6:43 am
itself after selling fake news t. shirts as souvenirs it's now were moved the merchandise suffer a strong backlash from some journalists who say the t. shirts were disrespectful towards their profession. now you are saying it is a fake just fake. and . i will not be visiting museum ever again i won't be recommending it to visitors and i will not be taking my family and friends there ever again fake news and find a new c.e.o. they make a mockery of the importance of whose names you have been scrapped on your lawless for their bookie. members commenting to my friend how inappropriate i thought it was to sell this anti press material that museum that celebrates our industry.
6:44 am
the newseum has removed you are very fake news t. shirts from the gift shop and on line we made a mistake and we apologize a free press is an essential part of our democracy and journalists are not the enemy of the people. it's iraq the nic it's sad the media talk about freedom of the press they trash donald trump they say freedom of the press is what this country is built on it's what the microstates built on and now they don't like these t. shirts and they register their disapproval and they pressure this news siham into polling it and a fact what they're doing is they're traveling on the very freedom of speech that they claim to champion if what's going on in this country is any indication you're allowed all the freedom of speech you want if you're on the left but if you're on the right it seems like freedom of speech when it comes to the right is getting
6:45 am
trampled upon on in one way or another all right eight twenty five am here in moscow on this monday morning we are back certain with more headlines. you know world big partisan movies. and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

6:48 am
known welcome to. share a nazi white supremacist movements are back in the headlines in the u.s. and my guest today knows all about it he founded a hate group that grew into one of the biggest gain had cruised in the u.s. before renouncing the movement and now working to counter its message of hate how to contain the appeal of right wing extreme well i ask our new callus. author of my life after hate. political extremism the rise of the far right groups grow in movement by the fiery kobe rhetoric of president donald trump. uncompromising reaction from the left with clashes between the two sides becoming ever more violent is radicalism threatening to split america into the message of hate groups be effectively killed or should it just be banned for good. artemy cayless welcome to the show great to have you with us. art of the recent
6:49 am
white lies matter rally in tennessee created a lot of hype police were on alert people braced for brawls bloodshed like the one in charlottesville back in august but why power protests were actually outnumbered by counter protesters and bystanders are white supremacy it's going out of fashion or is it just a calm before the storm. i think any type of words of from israel it happens in the states the words of promise are going to be numbered they're ready for that it actually helps to fuel their victimhood narrative that there is there are facing these extreme odds so fight for their peoples whether their old number or not the attention they get is really what they're after well at the same time the number of hate groups have been on the rise in the u.s. for two years with over nine hundred in total acting now in your country that's
6:50 am
according to the south unpowered a law center another we search suggests hate crimes rose up to twenty percent and twenty sixteen why is this happening how to explain the trend i think because of the current political climate where it's not only acceptable but being put in a policy that immigrants are a threat to the muslim people or a threat gives a carte blanche to disgruntled white people in the united states to act out on those same sentiments which often results in actual violence and certainly fuels the rising membership of hate groups in the united states. well during the rallies and shallots field back in august white supremacists where eagerly. talking up their support for trump does he make them feel emboldened is this related yeah absolutely since before the campaign when. white supremacist groups in the united
6:51 am
states have been huge supporters of trump feel they have an ally in the white house . and we grew. at times as. gay rhetoric is really the same talking points that groups like the ku coast and the national socialist movement have been using for years so as much as he may say all the wise the policies that he. would should include atrocious things like deporting ten year old girls in the hospital who are there for surgery back to mexico that's the kind of stuff the wives of promise like to see and think that they really believe they have an ally in the white o's so do you think trump has a thing for those kind of groups i mean he refused to specifically shame they white supremacists for the violence in charlottesville where an anti rashness protester was killed media that asked trump supporting the far right do you see that way as
6:52 am
well. or is it all of fall factious say that while adjusting from president drones actions he is very quick to condemn football players for peacefully protesting and he calls them sons of bitches and says they should be fired like within hours of them protesting what was going on season ku klux klan members are marching under swastikas in an american city and somebody gets killed it takes him days to respond to that i think that speaks volumes for how he feels about these situations i don't want to put words in his mall but i'm just going by what he says and well he doesn't really say much but like his actions the way he didn't say anything or ashamed the white supremacists that day does do you feel like he. has an inner affiliation with those people like he feels the same way they do. or maybe she
6:53 am
counts on their support who knows. i i honestly i feel the president trump has some severe psychological issues that have not been dealt with his actions are those of somebody who has a very drastic insecurity complex he seems to just be looking for whatever phrase he can get it he doesn't care where that phrase comes from so i i think he's well aware of the promise of fans of his and i do believe that he doesn't want to. lose their support and that could be a reason why it takes him so long to. neo nazi groups were as he has no problem condoning football players of color who want to make a statement well in all fairness right after shallots feel he didn't sign a resolution condemning hate groups stat espouse racism extremism in a phobia anti-semitism white supremacy so you feel like he maybe has one thing on
6:54 am
a paper and other and he's had it's hard had sorry to say where is that because he's been very erratic. throughout this in the early days of his presidency and he's been all over the place is his cabinet is completed numerous times about his tweeting. the people around him wish they could get more of a handle on him and obviously he refuses to do that so yeah he's all over the place and i know that he is probably condemned to hate groups and that's fine but when you condemn hate groups and then you enact legislation that deports families just because they're the wrong skin color or they came from mexico i don't think he's really busy deporting people who came from eastern europe or people who came from canada it seems that all of his actions are focused. people with darker skin so
6:55 am
when all of that happened then charles philip traum blamed both the right and the left for clashes he also felt some animosity towards yourself from the left rights are anti side and other similar movements becoming a part of the radicalization problem. that's one issue where i do see president drums and i have also been very frank about my condemnation of the far left and the and the four groups i do believe that they are a part of this problem i think the fact that the united the right rally could cone on overall from the and really help smaller membership i recall in my days as a white supremacist we would drive six hours of the times they go and fight and if so the violent resistance that and the folk presents to nazis does nothing but serve their purpose it also drives people from the political center further right i
6:56 am
think charlottesville is instigated by the far right that used to be front and center that needs to be acknowledged but the far left certainly played their part in that melee and unfortunately they will continue to do so the fire red and white supremacist groups claiming that they are a reaction to movements like black lives matter to the new loud and somewhat radical if they will write scripts do they have a point to stand against them. yeah there i think the more radical all the leftist groups be calm and the more they emerge themselves in identity politics the easier it is for the far right to recruit there's been leaders of all right who make no bones about the fact that they do identity politics for white people and in our universities in the united states and in europe. basically if you're a white kid you can either confess your privilege and condemn your white ms. what
6:57 am
you have to do to be an ally to people of color and anyone else who's oppressed or you go off to the all right there's really no middle ground for any one who existed anymore and i that i believe that that is largely because of the militancy of these for a claim radicals on the left so what they're doing does serve the purpose of the far right and vice versa every time the far right rears their heads the left goes oh see that's why we need to do what we do and we're going to double down on it and it becomes a cycle and they both kind of feed each other while most. people in society who just want to live their lives are kind of caught in the middle you know i also heard that several universities in the u.s. have been offering housing gang creating learning communities for black students only by california state and the university of connecticut flame they say. down
6:58 am
to two they need to actually create safe environments for students of color what is that supposed to mean is this the comeback of segregation. i doubt i'm not a fan of that approach i understand the reasoning behind it but. to me it really it takes agency away from black students it's saying that you don't have. the ability to exist in this society and have a voice in the society and determine your own future so here we're going to create this little safe space for you where you're not going to be subject to the white supremacy and it's done under this guise of compassion but what it really boils down to is separatism and it doesn't serve the students like color that they're working with and it certainly doesn't help to mend any of the wounds in our society that we're definitely still reeling from after five hundred years
6:59 am
a white supremacy i truly believe and i've seen this in person many many times over the past eight years as i've been working in peace building efforts is that people have every capability to calm and connect and recognize each other outside of the construct of race outside of other social constructs and have the ability to define their relationships about how they see other people when we retreat and say oh i can't be safe unless i'm around people who think like me will like me act like me if you're centrally going back to the same mindset that the neo nazis and you're just setting up a different camp and i don't think there's ever a healthy thing for human beings and i don't think it's going to help anybody on these colleges are going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue discussing what's behind rights of premises and movements in america with former school hat are now with callous stay with us.
