conservative activist in united states is founder so suspended by twitter to mimic the racist tweets of a new york times editorial board member caleb maupin has the story she has been removed from twitter because they say that her tweets violate their rules regarding hateful content candace she's from turning points usa conservative organization in the usa what she did was she took tweets from new york times journalist sarah job and simply replaced the words white with the words black or the word jewish hundreds of tweets from sarah jiang regarding white people she simply changed the

target of the tweet from white whites to black or jewish when she did this the response of twitter was to shut down her account candace owens says that twitter was right to take down her post and ban her for making hateful comments regarding black and jewish people she says however the outrage is that sarah johnson was not banned for making these comments about white people on the surface i actually agree with twitter's assessment i believe that what i said what i tweeted was wrong you should not be able to tweet about any race or any group that you want them canceled that they should live underground i don't know why suddenly people think that white people are excluded from that scenario that people can't be racist towards white people when in fact they often are the problem with the new york times essentially saying shinning her behavior is that they are signaling to the rest of the world that racism actually is ok as long as you pick the right race this was candace owens first statement to her followers after the ban twitter not only reinstated

her account but actually apologized and said that it was a mistake for her to be banned now immediately there was a firestorm with people pointing to what they see as a double standard the word. tweets i'm replacing the. points with blank i'm in tweets of bones that for twelve hours double standard kenda so once replaces word white with black and jews get suspended this is what we all call a double standard every time i see one of these icons substitute black for white counter so instead i will never understand the double standard why it's acceptable to so many now the wikipedia page of the new york times journalist is also in question now the page simply describes her as a journalist and has minimal content regarding the controversy surrounding her tweets it appears that there has now been added a small reference to it but you know sara john that these tweets the controversies

surrounding them seems to be quite a big issue with the pedia seems to make efforts to minimize that so it seems that many people are looking at this case and looking at the statements that sarah jiang has made regarding white people and saying that this is a double standard so a lot of debate yet another example of how in the united states when it comes to issues of race and free speech and americans just don't see eye to eye rolling news of her twitter suspension candice owens was confronted on the street. protests. owings was coming breakfast with another conservative activist colleague and protesters gathered nearby that the teachers could be seen throwing drinks and chanting stop what supremacies and calling them racist police were quickly on the scene. i'm staying with wanting more news after this break.

u.s. president on trump has reiterated his plan to create a military force in space stressing that this new wing of the u.s. military would have both defensive and offensive capabilities the space for space. that's going to be great look so much is happening now in space i mean your great defense i'm not just talking about mars and the moon i'm talking about tremendous defense capability office of capability it's in space so we're going to do the space force. but not everyone is enthusiastic about the proposed military space program the pentagon's lukewarm response to the president's plans is just one of a number of signs that the disconnect between trump and his military has done of explains. throughout his short political life donald trump has been taking an unequivocal stand that he is the biggest ally the u.s. military could ever wish for we salute their sacrifice or we salute the flag they

fought to protect our great war for the men and women who paid the ultimate price for victory and for freedom. the women of the united states military these are our finest but just over a year into his presidency the commander in chief has been all but drifting further away from his million strong core right now the white house and the pentagon are squabbling over donald trump's initiative to create an additional military branch a space force. the pentagon was unimpressed about this a year ago the pentagon isn't impressed now is the space force get its procedures. we you know we're going to require legislation a lot of detail play i mean. we've not yet begun in the past eighteen months the

pentagon started through trove of public embarrassment because of their want to be biggest fan for instance this march donald trump casually remark that u.s. troops would be pulling out of syria in the nearest future the bombshell decision the pentagon was not only unaware of but also disagreed with apparently will become another syria like very soon let the other people take care of it now very soon very soon would come 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 well 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 likely to be involved this overall expanded operation so that will all be determined by the requirements that are

given to us those two but i don't have any specific details on what support we could provide but they will provide us with the requirements and then from that will determine how many and what's the mission and how many will to play back in twenty seventeen trump went to france where he saw the iconic but still day parade wow that's nice why don't we have something like this you thought some reports suggested no one wanted the parade but trump reluctantly worked on it in a hands off mode the due date is just over three months away now the event is reportedly in the early planning stages and it's still unclear who's going to foot the millions of dollars bill some orders trump is giving out of all places on twitter last year he first tweeted that the u.s. would not accept or allow dot dot dot nine long minutes passed before he resumed.

does anyone else in this room have any intelligence coming out of the united states government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the u.s. military. very good for some 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 medicine and pompei o. and bolton who are all considered 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 further briefed on the issue i 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. republican senator rand paul is in moscow in a bid to boost ties between the u.s. and russia with more his. rand paul and his team spend about an hour and a half in the building behind me which you may call russia's senate speaking to the man who is in charge of international ties there konstantin cossotto such contacts let alone visits by russian or american officials are more than just where now one u.s. officials who we know is in favor of attempts to bridge the divide between moscow and washington and someone who actually believes that relations between the two countries have to exist is us president donald trump but that's about it another

exception was a small group of u.s. senators who came to the russian capital few weeks ago and had conversations with russian officials including the foreign minister sergey lavrov but these kind of people almost immediately get a massive rebuke back home however this time mr paul was brave enough to even say this we've had diplomacy with russia for a long time i think diplomacy in our discussion has gotten worse in the last few years so i've traveled here to say that there are many americans who want to have diplomacy that want to have engagement mr paul went on to invite russian officials to washington and both sides expressed hope that these kind of meetings. it happened more often on an official level although given the current toxic climate of ties between russia and america this may well just be wishful thinking.

use of dates for you in half an hour see that. i'm going with a post some of this there is a. but i. just love it. last time we chased. each one a little carrying twenty kilos of drugs. first offense. blues that

they just stepped right through. it's very real i mean. they they have this is the this is for me. like it was. i don't know maybe it'll make or. break. for now well. you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and 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. camera. roughly once they showed some. video and so moved with the group eastern. more on string i don't. know welcome to. share or not say 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 into one of the biggest had groups 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. the political extremism the rise of the far right groups grow in movement by the fire a campaign 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 why it lives matter rally in tennessee created a lot of hype police were on alert people brace 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 supremacists 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 according to the south unpowered a law center and now there we search suggests a crime shows 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 we groomed surfer a 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 states have been huge supporters of trump feel they have an ally in the white house

. and we grew a little more a time as a. 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 were there for surgery back to mexico that's the kind of stuff it's a promise like this and think that they really believe they have an ally in the light goes 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 to get that last trump supporting the far right do you see that way as well. or is a lot of file facts to say that while adjusting from president rome's 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. he doesn't really say much but like his actions the way he didn't say anything or shame the white supremacists that day does do you feel like he's he has an inner affiliation with those people like he feels the same way they do. or maybe he counts on their support who knows. i honestly i feel the president trump has some

severe psychological issues that have not been dealt with his actions are 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 white supremacy fans of his and i do believe that he doesn't want to. lose their support and that could be a reason why takes him so long to. do you announce a 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 extremisms in a phobia anti-semitism white supremacy so you feel like he maybe has one thing on 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 play is as his cabinet is going to play 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 when all of that happened then charles felt tromp blamed both the right on 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 in the end 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 a brawl from the and really help swell their membership i recall in my days as a white supremacist we would drive six hours of them as they go and fight and if so the violent resistance that in the folk prisons through new nazis does nothing but serve their purpose it also drives people from the political center further right i 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 that 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 civil rights groups do they have a point to stand against them. yeah there i think the more radical all the leftist groups become in the war they emerge themselves in identity politics the easier it is for the far right to recruit there have 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 whiteness and cala talaga what 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 anyone who existed anymore and i that i believe that that is largely because of the militancy of these work for a claim radicals on the left so what they're doing does the purpose of the far right and vice versa every time the far right rears their heads the left goes oh 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 favor explained this. down to to the need to actually create safe environments for students of color what

is that supposed to mean is this the comeback of segregation. i am 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 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 a 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 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 look 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 anyway and 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 mcallister stay with us. on the.

yes. maam. first. of all the start moving toward a showdown could also document on the first day. how much.
