caleb maupin has been looking at how america's political debate is now increasingly about maybelline divided groups a warning his report contains the words of fine and. one of the chants most frequently used at the protests is no trump no k.k.k. no fascist usa essentially trump and his supporters are being tarred with the same brush as white supremacy. ok. do you feel. that. our. now the suspect in the horrific charlottesville car ramming was himself a member of the far right but the mayor of the city was very quick to put his blame on the white house and president trump and he wasn't alone he should look in the mirror when he made a choice in his presidential campaign the folks around with him to you know go right to the gutter to play on our worst prejudices and i think you are seeing a direct line from what happened here this weekend to those choices trump has made it clear with bannan gorka in the white house and the klan in the streets it is now the white supremacists house. the incitement of hatred to the got us here is as real and condemn the whole as the white supremacists yo

when all the kind of rhetoric between the two leaders has led to some colorful comparisons as caleb maupin explains. when donald trump threaten north korea with fire and fury everyone online apparently had the same thought game of thrones. north korea. best not to be one of threats to the united states. they will be met with five years as. like the world has never seen. now arguably the only other world leader whose tirade sound as much like a fantasy villains is kim jong un so we decided to go out and give americans on the street a little quiz we'll give them the quote and they tell us was it was it kim jong un or was it game of thrones the days are gone forever when our enemies could blackmail us came with their own game of thrones. game of thrones out. donald trump game of thrones that's kim jong un ok all right. i tried you know as many people as i can you never know which one you'll need. non-neutral also donald trump donald trump donald trump game of thrones you're correct that is game of yes all right our military will be given the resources that its brave warriors richly deserved.

avoid absolutely any confusion we will modify them to make that absolutely crystal clear artie's caleb maupin our reports from the city on the controversy which has brought america's historical figures to the forefront. not long ago we were out here on the streets of new york asking people if they thought that every monument to a slave owner should be demolished even if their founding fathers. did they stop madison avenue. and rename it yeah no i think it's fine so if one person is the first people there will be by the city you'd be a good idea to take it to. anything that's owned by a slave owner should be changed yeah it should be washington didn't go to war to defend slavery and i think concerts is very important even though we didn't expect people to want to tear down monuments to figures that are almost sacred in american history like george washington or thomas jefferson the idea now seems to be gaining momentum he wasn't protecting my freedom i wasn't someone who my ancestors weren't deemed human beings to him and so to me i don't care if it's a george washington statue or a thomas jef

left on the right the mainstream media in america might be guilty of a bit of exaggeration as caleb maupinhas been finding out every day you can hear from politicians and mainstream media that the usa is now a battlefield between the left and the right unusual intense polarization among the population and in the political arena. how dare you quote from supporters racists are have to stand up to the nazis shows that you are racists on the come up with what you bring with already what about the all left do they have any semblance of guilt the emerging racist ideology known as the all to write the hysteria and the absurdity of some of the claims on the left and you look at how both camps look at most major political themes you'll see that there's not much of a division there. my position and i think it coincides with the basic broad. left position real really left position in the united states is that all us intervention abroad is wrong. we should focus on our home front. there's clearly an agenda by the military industrial complex which is operating soley for profit with a giant profit motiv

in afghanistan here's caleb maupin. according to the afghan government these civilians were killed in eastern afghanistan and the u.s. government says that that is not accurate it says that only militants were killed we reached out specifically to the pentagon to get a clarification and for more information about the situation we did not receive an answer now this comes as donald trump is talking about reworking u.s. strategy in afghanistan we just heard him speak on it and he says his intention is to make it quote a whole lot less messy it's a very big decision for the took over a mess and we're going to. make it a lot less messy but that has been a place seventeen years old there's horrors i read in one of your code and frankly . it's going to be a decision that's for the diversion of now at this point roughly eight thousand four hundred u.s. troops are in afghanistan they're joined by roughly five thousand nato forces that are there alongside them from various nato countries the united states has been in afghanistan

his controversial chief strategist steve biden was the latest to head through the exit doors as caleb maupin reports the president's foreign policy decisions with his new team white house surprise the very people who voted him into the oval office so you want to be an american president what gets you elected is it pledges of more wars or the opposite we've been moving from one reckless intervention to another kid libya syria iraq iran this destructive cycle bad decisions we cannot be the policeman of the world polls show that promises of peace were key for trump voters more than half of americans said they would prefer that the next president curb u.s. involvement in military conflicts and trump isn't the only president to have gotten the job of writing hopes of peace but as we confront a vicious adversary that abides by no rules. i believe the united states of america must remain a standard bearer in the conduct of war. that is what makes us different from those whom we fight he got it they even gave obama the nobel peace prize preemptively but by the time he left office he had droned bombe

i should be able to hear her laugh but now i can't she's just gone she's gone from me forever caleb maupin is a new york gauges reaction to the recent study on the impact of the netflix series . nineteen days after the program was released google searches for suicide related topics increased by more than twenty percent that means roughly nine hundred thousand to one point five million more than usual from phrases like suicide hotline or teen suicide or more worrying phrases like how to kill yourself all of them are on the rise i've seen multiple psychiatric admission knows that it detailed the presenting problem of why the teen is is there being one a couple of times them saying that they wanted to kill themselves in the way that the girl from thirteen reasons why did suicide prevention experts are warning that the show is kind of romanticizing suicide and unhealthy relationships all of which could lead to copycat behavior among teenagers or teenagers who in general are still developing the ability to regulate their emotions and their desires for those teens and especially those who have a

restriction the us seems rather unwilling to resort to when this diplomatic war correspondent caleb maupin explains. despite the fact that madeira was democratically elected u.s. leaders call him a dictator a dictator dictator we will work with our partners to hold accountable all those responsible for the escalating violence and ongoing human rights violations but one section of venezuela's economy which according to many reports and speculation is not being targeted by sanctions is oil ninety five percent of that as well as export revenue comes from oil resources they sell oil on the international markets and at this point u.s. treasury does not intend to target the oil sector of venezuela's economy with sanctions when they were asked about venezuela's oil exports this was the response from u.s. officials others marco's maybe making some changes in terms of our export of like her whale oil or curbing venezuelan oil imports is that still on the table but let me just say we will continue to monitor all of our specific timely stations against oil i'm not going to comment on that what i will

sending a memo criticizing google's diversity policies his bosses say breach their code of conduct caleb maupin looks now at what was in the memo in corporate boardrooms across america the buzz word is meritocracy ideology isn't supposed to matter employees are supposed to be hired judged and promoted based on their skills and ability however the high tech firm known as google seems to be straying from this free market ideal and now employees can be fired if they step away from the liberal social justice party line they recently fired an employee and sent out this memo portions of the memo violate our code of conduct and crossed the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace so what is it that he said what stereotypes was he promoting well here are the fatal words i'm simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in poets' you to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership now those are fighting words as far as some people are concerned and the guy is

has moved threatening to bomb any eisel convoy is moving out of lebanon when i see that caleb maupin now joins us live to discuss this why has the u.s. reacted so furiously to lebanon's decision well that's a very interesting question now recently the government of lebanon and hezbollah conducted terror operations on their border with syria essentially trying to destroy the terrorists in their country now they made an agreement of sorts with the terrorists allowing them to withdraw from occupied territories now there was quite a response from washington. still is a global threat relocates interests from one place to another for someone else to deal with is no lasting solution. now after that we then saw the coalition air strike the road that the convoy was departing on they actually destroyed a bridge that the convoy was intending to cross and from there we heard some very heated accusations against both russia and damascus let's take a listen. russian improve the words ring hollow where the can deals with and allow us to transit their control now this is very odd because we heard a

sparks criticism and washington let's get this further now with caleb maupin who joins us live from new york why has the u.s. reacted so furiously to lebanon's decision. well that's a very interesting question now we see that lebanon the government of lebanon and the hezbollah organization conducted joint anti-terrorism operations near their border with syria and that in the operations they made. with the terrorists allowing them to fully now as as we can see this prompted quite as strong and rather accusatory response from washington let's take a listen to what was said. and still is a global threat relocates interests from but it's someone else to deal with is not lost in solution now this is a rather odd response from washington as we have seen repeated in different occasions u.s. coalition forces take similar actions we know that. an iraqi commander actually called for a corporate or to be created so that i still force. furthermore. battling with the. other coalition that a coalition agreement was made and they were able to. i'm let's take a listen to it with a statement about the t

some of the counter protesters six people were injured in the rest and thirteen arrests were made caleb maupin reports from berkeley. we're here outside of work in the civic center in downtown berkeley california as you can see around me there's a huge crowd of people calling themselves anti fascist protesters these are people that assemble to calendar a right wing rally that was called for today for this afternoon under the slogan say no to marxism well these are posts here that object to a number of the people involved with that sort of right wing rally i consider them to be white supremacy and fascism assemble to denounce and while the nazis may have a right to demonstrate we've got a right to show that there are really clear through or far sooner than any time a group reaches the hatred that you've seen from the out right i think it's only human to match that even if it's not the most mature reaction it's only human to match that with some kind of anger and aggression really want to stand for nonviolence who would take the side against people that speak for violence including politicians s
