devastation in venezuela particular bullying in the use of sanctions to eventually into lean and. make change really does not help the people of countries like venezuela there are some things you just don't do like blame america for anything and for her troubles with the vice president and the secretary of state called basically an idiot for a member of congress who frankly one who sits on important national security committee to make a statement blaming america first this way it's not only ignorant it's disgusting congresswoman doesn't know she's talking about in simpler terms obama is ignorant for saying that u.s. meddling threats sanctions that have deprived venezuelans of desperately needed billions but all of that has exacerbated the crisis in venezuela that apparently is
1:04 pm
ignorant but recognizing why do as president to spite the fact that no one voted for him or listens to him the military nor ministries nor and. the state agencies recognizing him as president isn't ignorant also black is white the earth is flat pigs can fly and it's not a coup for one why don't you try and take command of the venezuelan military if you throw out all sense and relinquish all ties with reality then yes this wasn't a coup well why do did was call in soldiers to mutiny take up arms and violently seize power from people who actually have power on why do those behalf totally not a coup. the only coup in venezuela would be for i was arrested we're now living under a dictatorship and then terry nation rejects it. and while why do prepares his next
1:05 pm
not a coup trump be standing by to assist with these known coups the brutal repression of the venezuelan people must stand and it must and soon people are starving they have no food they have no water and this was once one of the wealthiest countries in the world so we wish them well we'll be there to help and we are there to help why do not a coup didn't go to plan aside from a few dozen soldiers that appeared with him at the start no other military members he did his call to rebel his attempts to storm a military base fell flat neither did it go peacefully with his supporters firing wildly at police and the military then firing back as well. they say they won't give up calling of course for more protests try to topple the
1:06 pm
venezuelan non government and i'll continue to grace the front covers of more men's fashion magazines who knows perhaps that's just what they need a little more photoshop. signs from venezuela trump and discussed in the cool the possibility of a nuclear arms treaty between russia and the u.s. and china to america has discussed the prospect with janice chris. reports from the white house today that president trump has reached out to president putin on the subject of nuclear arms agreement between the united states russia and china of course we really don't know what they discussed but that is what the president's staff is putting out if it's true and we take them at their word which we should it would be kind of strange considering that the u.s. and russia already had a nuclear treaty in place negotiated by ronald reagan and gorbachev that we our
1:07 pm
country chose to just no longer order just a few months ago that decision was made so it's curious right speaking of mr gorbachev he has just penned that editorial in the wall street journal where he's urging both sides to stop the madness of nuclear deterrence he writes that the idea that more weapons make us more safe is just. matt. joining us now is wedding author chris hedges to talk about this article by mikhail gorbachev it's called the madness of nuclear deterrence do you get his point on this gorbachev is exactly right this is this inability on the part of the world's two largest nuclear powers to speak and negotiate or rationally is very very dangerous but there's this there's this thinking out there that's been going on for a long time he talks about margaret thatcher being a disciple of this most of us grew up with the cuban missile crisis we've always
1:08 pm
been told as long as we have big nukes and the bigger our nukes the bigger their nukes that's fine because then no one will use them so it's the fact that our weapons are large that keeps us from ever having to engage in a war that's kind of the thinking guys like you and i grew up with and that's what some of those leaders you just mentioned also kind of believed in is that true. well no of course i mean it was it was reducing the nuclear stockpiles and and monitoring those stockpiles that made the world a safer place getting reengaged which we've now done in a nuclear weapons race and remember the russians have now put up antiballistic systems that they say cannot be detected because of course we've moved under nato missiles up to russia's border this is extremely dangerous you have various flashpoints syria being one where this conflict could go wrong really quickly
1:09 pm
and so you want communication you want discussion you know you have you don't have detente where we know it already has to you know love lot of our putin or love russia or anything else but what's kept the world from committing acts of massive self-annihilation has been forms of community. nation which figures like my pompei on john bolton have no interest in doing as we've seen in venezuela i think they're probably incapable of speaking to anyone but themselves. high school in san francisco named after u.s. president george washington may remove a neural commemorating the life of the founding father this is after working group looking into allegations that the work of art is offensive to minorities that it traumatizes students and community members and the thirteen panel mural entitled the life of george washington dates back to nine hundred thirty six the working
1:10 pm
group objects to the fact that it betrays native americans and african-americans as victims and slaves and removing monuments now deemed inappropriate by certain groups that has become somewhat of a trend on u.s. campuses for example two months ago students at the university of mississippi voted to remove a statue of a confederate soldier and last year protests broke out at the university of north carolina resulting in the knocking down of another confederate statue we spoke to attorney and author resurface and media analyst lionel about the trend. that only must we remove any reference we must provide tranquilizers and narcotics to our children lest they perhaps we think or come across anything that is discomforting historical has become hysterical it's not about hysterics that's not the issue at all the issue is that our history in this country has been one that's so so damaging some will gruesome so painful and here's the issue the issue is that
1:11 pm
even two hundred four hundred years later people are still hurt oh i can't go to scole oh my god they have cured one would help more and more psych meds teenager this is ridiculous what we should be doing is teaching these kids do us a favor sit down and shut up what we're doing in this country is unacceptable and i choose not to think down and shut up i choose to think and up and speak out and i want the children in america but we're not talking about george washington high school to continue the children in george washington high school to continue to stand up and speak out and let their voices be heard in these rogue chu signaling social justice warriors these people who were sold said incident in philly that this page as been there at george washington high school get ready george
1:12 pm
washington now must be removed because the east children come on let's turn this ugly history on its head and he used this as a launching pad so that people who have been hurt by this country gruesome history can finally begin to have an equal footing what happens when you then say now let's open up the history book we took the sign down now all right children you happy good ok now let's talk about this wait a minute i don't want to read this book we don't like the story of. tear that out we don't like this about the way they treated native americans which is true is terrible we don't like world war two war one the holocaust vietnam war we don't like any of this when this this triggers are we would like to rip the pages from the textbook that's actually not what was said at all they simply said this artwork this artwork which is a tribute to this person to the legacy of this person is offensive and because we
1:13 pm
find this artwork to be offensive we would like it to not be visible please never let these students go to a museum please never let them go to the louve never let them go to washington never let them go to battle grounds never let them see anything the point is we are having little snowflakes decide what they want to see and what they don't want to see and that's fine but life doesn't reflect those sensibilities. and it's really a rage is left palestinian dead and several of those injured according to the gaza health ministry these really defense forces hit seventy targets it comes up to two hundred rockets were fired at israel in which two people were said to be ninjas more details his local journalists the human side. there is a buried of rockets that was launched from the gaza strip towards the central and south israel towns this morning on saturday full of houses where directly
1:14 pm
hit and struck by the rockets on the palestinian side we have fifteen injuries different kinds of injuries motoring to critical and one a palestinian killed. forces have launched a lot of air strikes in the in the sky of the gaza strip there is a lot of tension between israel and gaza now the palestinian factions and israel have been the threat to the each other all this escalation happens after the four palestinians that have been killed yesterday in the friday protests to look them were directly targeted by israeli snipers and two others where. we're killed as they were struck by a rocket by the israeli forces while other fifty other palestinians were wounded in the protests yesterday this also happened after. two officers two israeli
1:15 pm
officers on the border where shot by a palestinian sniper fire so until now we don't know if the situation is going to keep on escalating but. this time has failed to restrain and to bring back calmness between israel and gaza. so the journey now where rising political figure has drawn attention after urging top firms like b.m.w. to be brought under collective ownership remarks made by kevin kuhn the leader of the social democratic party's youth wing he's trying to shift the party's policies further to the left since joining the s.p.d. is youth chief could in turn has also been a vocal critic of surging rents big property developers but his latest comments of lead many in berlin's halls of power to distance themselves from him and to all of the reports. socialism the idea that a society is only as strong as its weakest member but does it belong in our past
1:16 pm
our present or our future well if you listen to the leader of the youth wing of angle of merkel's coalition partners here in germany it's very much the latter particularly when it comes to the german automobile industry there is nothing wrong with the b.m.w. brand the only question is why b.m.w. should belong to a few people who have the sole rise to the profits the distribution of profits must be democratically controlled that excludes a capitalist loner without a form of collectivize ation is unthinkable to overcome capsule ism well those comments have landed the s.p. their money in hot water with some critics in his own party well going as far as to question his mental state or it's a nonsense what was you smoking whatever it was it part of the legal the social democrats that kevin community represents is traditionally the party of the working class but they have had a horrid time of late and are currently polling third nationally behind the chancellor's union bloc and the greens germany of course has plenty of history when
1:17 pm
it comes to the left of the political spectrum but ideas of a return to east germany or the g.d.r. certainly got between its critics fired up thirty years after the fall of the berlin wall the left wants to return to democratic socialism the airspeed leadership must clearly distance itself from such fantasies as you may well imagine people on social media i've had plenty to say about mystic units ideas of collectivism. b.m.w. is a great company no despite a liberal market economy but because of that the dreams of the socialists on the working theory who wants to own property only by force and repression. is a living example of someone who has never worked in his life and lives outside reality it's hard to believe taxpayers are funding such people. can have his socialist dreams but what is scary is that the press and parties are listening to
1:18 pm
him despite his lack of actual knowledge and experience. days may not sit too well with everybody but if you look across the atlantic senator bernie sanders in the united states who is able to draw an army of young supporters to his cause saying pretty much similar things and kinetic may well be looking to do the same thing peter all over our table if there's a car mark or respond and goes for a spin with new york's first ever muslim patrol that's in just a moment. it
1:19 pm
has nothing to do with the propaganda that the daily mail is pushing but when you. might be susceptible to propaganda they can easily be manipulated into thinking that fracking is something other than what it is it's not economically viable it costs more to frack then then then you make an profit it's cash flow negative it's also environmentally negative you destroy the environment incredible.
