with the release of pastor bronson and president heard a wand lashed out in defiance calling the u.s. move an attempt to force turkey to surrender and make them a slave to the greenback but turkey's just one example of how the trump administration treats longtime allies in fact many of america's friends have already been forced into the fray in a war of tariffs and sanctions canada had heavy steel and aluminum tariffs imposed earlier this year and trump perhaps thought the stars and stripes needed some protection from its northern neighbor who didn't take too kindly to it that it's kind of insult to move forward with retaliatory measures on july first applying equivalent tariffs as if that wasn't bad enough the us president went and slapped tariffs on europe today i'm defending america's national security. by placing tariffs on foreign imports of steel and aluminum brussels tried to hit back

everyone in view may be the only way for the u.s. to impose its will on friend and foe alike donald quarter r t. e c n n presents chris cuomo has sparked controversy for saying on air that violence coming from the left wing and to from movement in the us is more morally justified than violence which comes from the far right the comments were made the day after and had minor clashes with police and journalists while countering a white nationalist rally in washington. all punches are not equal drawing a moral equivalency between those espousing hate and those fighting it because they both resort to violence emboldens hate legitimizes hateful belief and elevates what should be stamped out there i got reaction both for and against his comments. every time i see them on television they seem to be getting some kind
4:08 pm
of fight some kind of altercation it always seems to come from them and as a matter if they're fighting hay or whatever they claim you can't put your hands on somebody even hide behind some kind of moral high ground don't touch people if you don't want to be chased is really just as simple as day it doesn't matter what political affiliation the other person is violence even if it's the most justified and righteous violence that you can have it still creates negative karma it is still very problematic seemed to be. something that should be diverted to only when it's absolutely necessary these people really are what they purport and associate be against they're talking about being an anti-fascist but a lot of their action mirrors that of what was on the mussolini's time with the whole black church situation it seems like they're doing the same thing i'm not saying that there's actually to same as what was going on back then in italy but a lot of their tactics seem to mirror what they were doing just because i didn't

want what is now being used as an ideal or at all i got a hold on hold on wait wait wait wait just because somebody is hateful in your eyes does not mean that it's ok or somehow justified at all to hurt then you can't say violence or maybe justify it no it's not if somebody does not put their hands on you you cannot put your hands on them is very simple if you put your hands on somebody then that person has a right to defend themselves you know you talk about don't put your hands on somebody will you know he had hired somebody that has it or is yes there's somebody that wears a mask attacks dangerous people without personal provocation and puts their hands on them you know who it is it's batman this type of behavior is justified in our society violence can be used to prevent greater violence is say boils down to no it doesn't it is against the law to commit violence against another individual yeah of course but the law does not dictate morality the law is just the law many people talk on a boat it's morally acceptable to hurt. those who are talking about hate but what

about the innocent people actually members of the media get attacked by and used to use schoolteachers being active in the media is also it's an attack by dan he's up late wait wait well wait hold on hold a mechanician you see people are they are people of color in the left likes to call them being attacked by these individuals because of their political opinions so i don't really understand this whole thing about. it's ok somehow justify for the values that it does because most of the time when i see jimmy gaijin news about its use against those who just have different points of view you know i'd have to see it see the statistics on that. you know we have seen a outbreak in street fighting between fascists and anti fascist said absolutely has happened these people are just afraid they're cowards and they're acting in a way that is totally irrational because of their fear. russian court is a place to teenage girls under house arrest after they were detained for being part of a gang allegedly plotting a coup the pair were arrested for their role in
