orem even the shallows. the end of nations being bombed into democracy as administration says no war u.s. backed regime change we have. might die hard. international criminal court's launches a probe into alleged war crimes committed by israel in palestine. so the counseling of books by children's author dr. phil stereotypes takes it to the top of the bestsellers on amazon. and a poll finds 64 percent of americans believe council culture poses a threat to freedoms we put the issue of today but. we have to keep in mind that you have a lot of people. that simply should no longer exist well i would hate to live in

a world where one people or heck even a group of people got to decide what was and wasn't racist and therefore what was and was not except. by that very good morning you're watching r.t. . washington says no more costly foreign military interventions but with president biden strongly supporting nato bombing of yugoslavia in the ninety's and sect of state blinken advocating to supply ukraine with weapons we ask whether the new slogan is likely to translate into a real policy shift we will incentivize democratic behavior. but we will not promote democracy through costly military interventions or by attempting to overthrow off regimes by force. we've tried these tactics in the past however well intentioned they haven't worked quite an interesting use of words but the pattern

from the united states of intervening in the affairs of other countries destabilizing and overthrowing governments around the world is quite well known one looks at the history of iraq of libya afghanistan one looks throughout south and central america one can see many examples of the united states intervening in other countries affairs destabilizing and overthrowing governments and in fact in recent years we've heard many calls from u.s. leaders for governments around the world to be overthrown and for leaders to step down assad needs to go we will continue to work with our partners in the international community to press. the to leave the time has come for nicholas murderer to go what's interesting is that just a day ago we actually had a tweet from anthony blinken in which she gave full support to one guede 01 grade 0 is an individual in venezuela who has proclaimed himself to be the president and has been engaging in violent attempts to destabilize venezuela to overthrow the

elected government there of even u.s. military contractors that have been involved in those military coup attempts so having anthony blinken you know you know voicing support for one great oh the unelected individual who claims to be venezuela's leader kind of flies in the face of his claim that the united states won't be using force now if there was one loophole you could say in anthony blinken remarks he did create a pretext in which the united states would be continuing to use force against governments of course we will never hesitate to use force when american lives and vital interests are at stake now what exactly would constitute such a threat he did not lay out any specific criteria so it seems that though the united states through its new secretary of state is announcing that no more force will be yours. many wonder if this will simply be a changing of rhetoric looks like the united states will most likely be continuing

its foreign policy activities but only time will tell he did leave that huge loophole where he said vital interests vital interests can mean almost anything mars the moon you name it it could be a vital interest to america if a politician wants to say that's the case it seems like rhetoric you know trump certainly had his own style that was very bombastic and out there and other presidents have been more reserved in their or in their description of activities but when you look at the actual policies we've seen no change and i think it sounds like rhetoric not something that we can count on yet you know president trying started a trade war with china and now president biden's talking about well we're going to cooperate with other countries but we're also going to have trade agreements that protect our workers and do this and that which in the end probably means the exact same policies as a national trade war biden i see him rebranding a lot of the same old thing and so the blinken has repeatedly echoed biden's

america is back slogan some of been questioning what exactly that means especially given the country's recent history. america is back.

but america does stand to save quite a lot of cash if it puts a stop to foreign military interventions a recent report found that the u.s. wasted billions of dollars on unserviceable buildings and vehicles in its longest war afghanistan off the nearly $7800000000.00 in capital assets reviewed in his prior records special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction identified by a $2400000000.00 in assets that were used to rebound and had not been used for their intended purposes had deteriorated over or destroyed. the cigar report also found that since 2008 just a little over $1000000000.00 worth of u.s. funded assets we used as intended only $334.00 so $340000000.00 worth of equipment can be used now the u.s.

war in afghanistan began in 2001 but despite pledges from various presidents to withdraw troops from the war torn country there are still around 2 and a half 1000 american troops there on backing from the answer coalition believes u.s. tax dollars could have been better spent this is amazing levels of waste fraud and abuse and perhaps now it's you have $2400000000.00 of equipment that's no longer available to be used buildings that were constructed in can't be used because they're industry appear but this is a reflective of how the afghan war has gone from the beginning hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent in they would say tens of billions of dollars have either been looted by american military personnel or their airwaves in afghanistan or the money has been completely disregarded so it's fraud and it's abuse.

the international criminal court or so that it's opening a probe into alleged war crimes by israel in palestine this includes the 2014 garcelle war on the deadliest conflicts between the 2 sides. the decision to open an investigation followed a painstaking preliminary examination undertaken by my office that lasted close to 5 years our central concern must be for the victims of crimes both palestinian and israeli arising from the long cycle of violence and insecurity that has caus deep suffering and despair on all sides in february the trial chamber of the international criminal court determined that the hague court has jurisdiction for opening a criminal investigation into the activities of israel and the hamas leadership for alleged war crimes in east jerusalem gaza and the west bank the palestinians have

said that this is a victory for the victims they say it's a landmark historic decision but as expected the israelis for some time have been campaigning against precisely what was announced today back in february the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had this to say when the i.c.c. investigates israel for fake work around this is pure anti-semitism. is prime minister of israel are you sure we will forward this barrage of justice with our might what this means is that hundreds of israelis could find themselves out on the wrong side of the law and we're talking here about the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu white on his ministers and even ordinary soldiers the country's defense minister benny gantz has said that he's never been afraid of crossing over in the lines and this announcement doesn't make him feel full either you have for years had human rights organizations who has been warning of these really

violations against palestinians. the united states has been a longtime ally of israel and when the former president donald trump was in power he sanctioned the international criminal court after or tried to open an investigation in the palestinian territories now however under his successor joe biden it is possible that there is pressure to lift the sanctions and of course israel is lobbying against this what that means to be seen is just what comes out of this investigation. there my colleague you know neal discussed the investigation with enough taliban that israel's former defense minister and current can do that

for prime minister. this is a perversion of justice of any basic morals you know when one side or another the 2nd side has a right to self-defense the court is not a court you know they call it the i.c.c. i view it the international circus of clowns let me tell you something you know i thought in quite a few wars defending my family come us shoots rockets at israeli from within hospitals within homes within schools and then when we want to fight back then this i.c.c. thing tells us that we're immoral and you are saying that the militants were based in hospitals and schools but by firing bach were actually schools and nurses and doctors where working civilians were killed there is very much a sense of proportionality to be to be held here isn't there an israel did not. is

there you know if if someone is shooting your kids your kids from within the school how proportional are you going to react well there's a sense of self defense of course i agree with but in terms of doing that do you not prolong the war on the victims in israel as well as palestine making it even worse for future generations surely there's a stage where you have to say listen we're going to go after these people but we're not going to try to kill as many civilians as we did before oh no you're distorting things we never are out to kill civilians being killed. oh they've been killed by their own government hamas which places rockets next to their children so yes let me but you know if your rep and ever places rockets from within civilians he is murdering his own people not israel there's an evil side that is an attack in there's a good side that's defending and the only side that holds any responsibility is the

offender let me be very clear you know if there is a list of people who are going to the hog i'm going to be at the top of the list we will never the hands of an israeli soldier while defending itself. i was on the scene a huge spike in sales of the classic dr seuss children's books that's after the publisher decided to discontinue the series for containing what it says are racial stereotypes these books put 3 people in ways that were hurtful and wrong ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure dr seuss enterprises catalog represents and supports all communities and families. the announcement of the 6 books will be scrapped was made on the late author's birthday after the stamen book sales and amazon skyrocketed by more than 5000000 percent in 24 hours and took them to the top of the bestsellers list u.s. researchers say that examples of orientalism white supremacies were found in

several books while the portrayal of a japanese character with yellow face was found to be racist the study found that an image of 3 asian people carrying a white person was an example of dominant behavior but the story of the grinch one of dr seuss's most famous works that has not yet been touched. this christmas. is crisscross music here in the glory of my shop. of the author's stepdaughter of said the dr seuss didn't have a racist bone in his body that authorial director believes the author's relative had no option but to bow down to the work brigade. all this has been manufactured to the point where of course she's probably going to say something like that because it's the smart thing to say so that long term it doesn't damage the dr

seuss brand going forward to let's face it i mean that's their families money maker they don't want to get canceled the imagery that people are are kind of harking on and making a big deal about i guess could be considered by people who are extremely sensitive and probably looking for something to be upset about but but again i think that this is an example of you know 1st world problems let's call it that when you've got nothing else to worry about then this is what you're going to focus on kind of nonsensical stuff and i think that the cancel culture the p.c. police we live in a time of phony outrage maybe i'm a little bit different maybe just whatever and i don't know if it's the way that i'm wired but i don't personally find offense to it but then again i don't walk around on line watching t.v. walking the streets looking for something to be offended by you know to me that's

not really you know. something that we should be upset about like you know the anti-semitism of the 1930 s. in germany is something that merits outrage dr seuss's books do not somehow he goes from being this great children's all sir that you know cream up with these great stories that have you know provided wonder to children for years to being some sort of odd nazi or something. with the rise of socal council culture is being seen by some a such a threat to freedom of speech that one u.s. lawmakers even calling on congress to address the issue cancel culture is a dangerous phenomenon whether you agree or disagree with a view has been censored if consequence or continues unchallenged it is not just the unpopular controversial viewpoints to our it's risk. a recent poll found 64 percent of americans agree that boycotting or removing certain types of content does pose a threat to freedoms in the country it was a found 80 percent of republicans consider cancell culture

a threat only 48 percent of democrats to the issue has been highlighted by a number of high profile cases over the past year for example just last week amazon pulled a book by a conservative author that challenge the transgender movement earlier to democrat representatives called on cable companies to stop posting conservative leaning news channels and in 2020 an editor at the york times resigned over an opinion piece by a republican senator that advocated the use of military force in protests we discuss these issues with a panel of guests. the problem with cancell culture is that when we're looking into people's past 20 years ago 30 years ago in some cases what does it look like holding people responsible now for things that they have done i mean almost a generation ago can't people change can't people become better people as time goes on council culture does not allow for that have i said things that i think you know in 20 years maybe you'll look and say oh you should have said that well that's true and it makes us all need to be more mindful of how we conduct ourselves and what we

say it's not ok to just speak so freely about people of different colors of different races socioeconomic status or handicaps we need to be mindful that our society has locals of so many types of people there are of course racist people out there is the best way to change their minds and improve race relations to simply silence anyone who goes against the narrative or should we actually be doing more to engage with those people and maybe explain why their actions might hurt others or try to change their opinions how many people have had their mind changed by being silenced it just doesn't seem like a long term strategy that will work our society is largely built on racism our society is largely built for on things that are just and racism to some integrity to who america is that to strip people that racism seems anti american and some who have people who want a little better instead she's all know this with my great great grandfather well ok but her great great grandfather believe that black people were from some who are

being and that they should have rights so you know we have to keep in mind that you have a lot of people holywell into ideologies that simply should no longer exist well i would hate to live in a world where one people or heck even a group of people got to decide what was and wasn't racist and therefore what was and was not acceptable in the public sphere that goes just intrinsically against the concept of freedom of expression which is essential if you hope to have a culture in a society where different people with different. indians can actually live peacefully together we're not going to continue to coddle racism in america and that's simply not the role that we we should probably take it's best that we began to doubt all of the structures that are harmful whether they are on facebook or a mine in a park it's time to take those down and move forward and here you're with us or you're not. coming up the f.b.i. school the capital riots domestic terrorism poses

a threat to america similar to that of violence more money to the right. economies to cherry rating rapidly but the government is redefining c.p.i. redefining g.d.p. redefining everything and all the bad tricks so that the chips in the back of their way to finding all these measurements to give a different to give a more favorable picture of something that is deteriorating. is a myth metabolife small molecule bodies may come. from it and make less of it as we get older this is one of the things i work on. and because we have less of it we become more prone to infection and the crazy thing is that could 19

sars could be to one of its ways of attacking the body to deplete the body even more of that chemical which we need to fight infections. welcome president joe biden has used an unusual to phrase on criticizing the decision of the texas governor to lift code restrictions. in the last the last 3 or 4 thank you very. much for taking a. pretty good still matter. president biden wasn't the only one laying into texas governor greg abbott for ending compulsory mask wearing underlying businesses

to open. this isn't dangerous the entire country and beyond where in the pandemic it's dangerous why are we wasting vaccinations on texas if texas has decided to join the side of the virus what's abbots is doing is extraordinarily dangerous he's the worst governor in modern texas history this will kill texans a spokeswoman for greg abbott said that the governor made it clear that covert hasn't ended and that all texans should follow safe practices given his decision was met with a mixed reaction by texas residents. people with the loss of jobs didn't apply to me but it's still going to be saved and cost is a good girl good morning morning to you joe if you have to go out you're risking your way so why not just to get it over with and get back to normal i don't think that's a wise decision because this state should be opening it can actually infect more and more people so i think we should be a little more smart and we should actually be just how do we having mass even if

the governor say yes that we need them out no more people opening up the business is great. the mass still still not enough research out there to prove defectiveness and putting up restrooms 100 percent capacity i think 80 percent 90 percent capacity would have been better rather than going to 100 percent we should follow the federal guidelines before we do anything i think it's a good thing to get the economy back make sure we don't have any problems with that . i work with the public so i don't have any problem with viruses because politically. speaking here are worse taxes not the only state where muskerry rules have been relaxed mississippi governor take reeves also signed a decree making face coverings option we spoke with day perkins he's a political scientist and radio host from texas he supports the decision. i'm very glad we have states that states have governments and that governments are

considerably more responsible in my view than the federal gov abbott said it's no longer mandatory to wear a mask but he did encourage people to keep doing it and i think a lot of people will keep doing it because it does seem like a reasonable response to help protect yourself and protect your fellow citizens i don't think anything bad is going to happen i think what we're seeing is governor abbott trusting the people of the state of texas to do what is prudent and safe and good without having to force them to stop doing business and force them to stop earning money and stop taking care of their families and destroy the businesses that they built so they could give their families a future. if b. i direct in his school the capital of bryant protesters domestic terrorists labeling them a top threat to u.s. society that attack. that siege was criminal behavior

plain and simple its behavior that we the f.b.i. view is domestic terrorism back in june of 2019 under my leadership we elevated racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism to our highest threat priority . on the same level with isis and homegrown violent strange many of the senators question centers around the f.b.i.'s handling of a report on the eve of the riot that warned of online posts predicting trouble in washington capitol police leaders are said they were unaware of the report under siege no intelligence from the f.b.i. 5 people died as a result of the riot including a capitol police officer and a woman who was shot to she tried to enter the house chamber with lawmakers still inside. your head also said there's no evidence to suggest the that and he trump groups were involved in the run contrary to what some republicans have said we spoke to jennifer the master anti terror expert and legal analyst who says people's

political leanings affects their attitude towards events. we cannot have an f.b.i. that downplays violence against us like b.l.m. even if it's not the majority there must be equal justice under the law we must discuss threats equally clean when the george floyd riot started were allowed to have thousands of people on the streets looting businesses burning down buildings to thread mean it threatening people arson all over it and so the kind of violence that we saw come from that you're looking at 2 side by sides if you haven't seen it reported seeing this is a completely mostly peaceful protest with buildings on fire behind him and on the other side of the screen you're seen a guy with some horns walking around taking selfies with capitol police and one of those is being called horrific domestic terrorism the other one has been called mostly peaceful we have a problem it is concerning what when depending on your political ideology you can get away with literally. burning down somebodies building burning down something is

a livelihood as long as you're part of the right political ideology. ok that would you rather states overturn with more in half an hour in the meantime don't forget you can always check out plenty more stories that we have covered over in a website don't go. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. let me. get to shape out these days become active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. carmen's this those books.

prices are rising up but the added cost is not just going to be felt at the pump we're going to talk to the leader of $1.00 of the largest trucking firms to get an idea of the extent of the impact on your wallet plus social media platforms are constantly changing their rules but should it be the government's responsibility to police our legal advisor lynell joins us to discuss and it's hard enough to keep tabs on the krona virus in our own communities however now it seems that law enforcement has no way of preventing those who cross the border illegally from traveling to other parts of the country even if they test positive for the virus so is this humane or is it dangerous we're going to give you the 360 view with our political panel i am scardino hughes and you're watching news news you right here

on our to america. even at a gas station lately to fill up your car i bet you've noticed that gas prices are definitely rising in fact the national average price of gasoline has risen $7.05 per gallon in the last week averaging to $2.72 a gallon today now the national average is up $30.03 per gallon from a month ago in stanza 30.6 percent per gallon higher than a year ago so now imagine taking that rising cost of your vehicle and apply it to a fleet of over $500.00 trucks and tractors and just a few extra dollars well guess what that can turn into millions but who's going to pay that price well my cooch are ski who is sick owner and vice president at j. casey trunking out of chicago a joins us to talk about how the rising gas prices are going to impact many areas
