From the United States for the f. B. I. Is investigating the shooting as a u. S. Naval base in the. Developments in the past. People are dead 8 others have been injured in this shooting began at the Pensacola Base when a Saudi Air Force officer apparently opened fire in one of the bases classrooms was then shot dead and it appears that now the f. B. I. Is on the scene and is conducting a terrorism investigation in coordination with the military about how this incident could have taken place. We are working with local Law Enforcement and with the f. B. I. Afterwards as i said the bases shut down will be shut down until further notice until we. Really understand the situation. Now the king of saudi arabia as apparently called donald trump thats what donald trump has announced in a tweet that he received a phone call from the king of saudi arabia expressing condolences for the shooting furthermore weve also from what we understand heard that the governor of florida is saying that the kingdom has to do a lot better for the victims now pensacola the base where this shooting took place there are apparently forces from all over the world who received military training there this is what we heard from the governor of florida. I think theres obviously going to be a lot of questions about you know this individual being a Foreign National being a part of the Saudi Air Force and then to be here training on our soil had to do this and the f. B. I. Is working with d. O. D. Theyre working with the o. E. Theyre working with the skin to be a county sheriffs to answer those questions and one of the things that i talk to the president about is given that this was a Foreign National in the employ of a Foreign Service is you know be time to do this but obviously the government of saudi arabia needs to to make make things better for these victims. Now 16000. 00 personnel are on the military base at pensacola in florida and that base is currently on lockdown despite the fact that there has been shot dead himself and that it is no longer an active situation the f. B. I. Is on the scene the base is on lockdown its important keep in mind this is actually the 2nd incident at a u. S. Military base this week on wednesday a sailor was shot as sailors shot 2 workers dead that pearl harbor u. S. Navy base thats in hawaii so there have been 2 incidents at u. S. Military bases in which people were killed and shootings took place fatalities occurred so the scene is being watched the perpetrator is himself dead this point we understand he was a Saudi Air Force officer who was receiving u. S. Military training at the base in florida ok for now kind of open thanks for the. Next member of the mass migration alternative to germany potter said extremists of trying to assassinate her because of her political beliefs christine about the media and other Political Parties to stop and who would that hate campaign against her potty reporting next from berlin heres a banjo sepsis. If the politician christina has posted a picture on social media of a cross with number of insults written on it but also a very serious threat towards her the cross was discovered by the ai if they a politician near her office where she works as a dentist on wednesday evening the police do not know who the perpetrators are but since this is a threat towards a local politician they have passed on the investigation to the Domestic Intelligence Services Office the alternative for Germany Party has quick to condemn the attack and urged the media and Political Parties to stop spreading their hatred against the ai if the. Threat to christina was just the tip of the iceberg attacks on i have to officials are becoming more and more common that 1st officers and events of the were attacked and now its apparently against the law the health of all politicians while many politicians have come out to condemn this threat towards Kristina Brown the greens who have seen a fair share of threats towards in the past say that these types of incidents should not be tolerated but a social democrat politician has called out kristina as being a liar and all this comes as pressure has been a mounted on a if the politicians by the c. D. U. N c s hugh calling to boycott them and impose a blanket ban of anybody cooperated with them they even went as far as saying that even having a cup of tea or coffee with them should be prohibited we have made it clear again that we reject any form of corporation with the a. F. D. Even if it does just a coffee but if we go back a little bit from the beginning of this year theres been a number of threats and attacks towards politicians from many sides of the political spectrum. I. I. I. I. I. I. Well it seems that the Political Landscape in germany has been changing with a decrease of popularity form the c. D. U. And the speed to the increase of popularity for the specially in the Eastern States of this country while these attacks are becoming more dominant in politics in germany critics are hoping that this will not turn into a disturbing trend. Although reaction earlier from alternative for germany euro m. P. Got back he blames the coverage given to the i. F. T. For making it an easy target. Theres little doubt that my party is the principal victim of this Political Violence whats triggered it well its a combination of Relentless Media portrayal of our party. As a little edged rightwing or perhaps even freshest organization in fact none of our policies would have shocked c. D. U. Voters about 50 years ago its important to bear in mind that germany in many respects is not the society that it is betrayed as many people are dissatisfied with the extreme consensus politics people are now beginning to realize that despite the fact that mrs merkel is telling them that theyve never had it so good Living Standards for well over 2 thirds of the population have not risen in the last 25 years. In a rocky start for some u. S. President ial election campaigns with several runners already stumbling of the 1st hurdle and dropping out but it seems the baby yoda character from a star wars spin off could be quite a successful candidate if it through its name into the 2020 president ial race according to a recent poll maybe yoda is out trending all democratic hopefuls on social media including front runners joe biden and Bernie Sanders but thats not going to stop those 2 and the many others still up for consideration striving to be called the perfect candidate more on that next from what i guess the of. In this imperfect world of ours the who really grill this is finding something perfect it is of course impossible but goodness do they really try every 4 years in America Elections the eternal search for the perfect candidate the smallish chink in there who we are than that our armor is enough to sink him or her and i really mean the smallest chink for example pete booted judge currently ranked 4th in the democrat candidate polls hes a darling a mayor a family guy openly gay and he even has a disabled dog i mean what an angel but then i see he went too far he helped the homeless participated in Salvation Army Charity Events and thats a Christian Organization which is sometimes accused of homophobia you know hard core christians and all apparently race issues are the only thing. Is slow to grasp what is his excuse for not realizing the Salvation Army is homophobic hard to imagine a more succinct visual metaphor for i will gleefully work for the active destruction of my people if it makes me seem in a yacht or more electable than boots adige shorter with an assurance lee antic with Salvation Army these activists are literally accusing an openly gay man of supporting homophobia just just let it sink in you havent dropped out of the race yet unlike camelot harris and one of her crimes as a half black half tamil indian woman was that she just wasnt black enough skin pigmentation seems to really really matter for a president ial candidate then you. Have Bernie Sanders spent his life trying to power the poor and for his troubles had the d. N. C. Election rigged it against him last time around but bernie just doesnt get it america doesnt want someone who cares so much for the poor sanders just does not understand that a 15. 00 minimum wage will hurt the job market and theres no way we can afford to make education free for everyone and on top of bernies you know principles and decency hes just ancient. Get on how much like former Vice President and control the magnet joe biden ease neck deep in just the weirdest stuff begin getting really close and taking the night sniff of peoples hair now embroiled in ukraine gate he got his little boy a nice cushy job that pays a standing amounts in ukraine the poorest nation in europe and modern civil war to boot im sure he can remember all that stuff them ages getting the better of him to his memory isnt what it was then we have Elizabeth Warren who hasnt quite yet figured out who she is in case you missed it she tried to pass a self off as part native american which was an exaggeration by which i mean it was entirely made up bashing. No one it seems is good enough homosexual whole move a black woman who isnt black enough an old man thats obsessed with helping the people that need help biden in his hair seriously what the hell then again perhaps people wouldnt need pick so much if you know they had Something Else to talk about if these people had their plan beyond beating trump a clear plan for america and americans but hey maybe not i mean seriously hair sniffing stuff. The us president ial hopefuls looks to divide and conquer the polls ahead of the 2020 election a Public Policy surveys reveal insight into how americans View Division in society there more than 90 percent of people who responded to the poll said the division should be a key policy issue for president ial candidates on the campaign trail describing it as a huge problem staggeringly nearly one in 5 americans thought of the issue wasnt a big problem going into the vote in 2020 we talked earlier to rivera from reactionary times dot com he believes that the democrats are exacerbating tensions in us society. I think that there is a real detachment from reality with this party because you know i think that they really hate everything that you know the the right stand for at this point ive never seen in my life and i mean im only 42 years old but i dont remember a time where you know in america you know there was quite a division based on party lines i mean i remember when republicans and democrats got along a lot better than they do now and on the parties were so different and in some ways there was a lot of overlap i do a lot of the policy issues now it seems that the left has gone all forit into you know the socialism direction while the right is fighting for limited government and limited taxation and in all those important things that the country was supposedly built on i mean i think that you know maybe if the democrats can produce some socalled blue dogs you know some of you know people that are a reasonable moderate democrats maybe they do a lot better. Than acquitted of murdering unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin and 2012 has launched a lawsuit asking for 100000000. 00 in damages the original case spocks the black life mathematicians in the United States.

History the 2012 shooting of an unarmed africanamerican teenager a stark reminder of americas racial problems the vigilante George Zimmerman saw the unarmed africanamerican teenager Trayvon Martin while patrolling in his neighborhood he then shot him dead family of Trayvon Martin has always maintained that this was a case of murder but George Zimmermans claim of selfdefense got him a verdict of not guilty in court but now George Zimmerman is going back to court hes going to sue the Martin Family as well as the prosecutors claiming they did irreparable psychological damage to him because of their arrest charges prosecution and federal investigation zimmerman lives in constant fear of physical harm due to regular Death Threats which often are expressed in rap music as well as online social media commentary this move has got the black community theorists many calling zimmermans move us this is why we will never be silent and continue to fight fully variation in justice. George zimmerman has punched through the bottom and sunk lower than scum i dont care how specific the allegations are he deserves nothing except prison time i fail to understand the logic i mean how absurd can american legal system be now the attorney representing Trayvon Martins parents says that this lawsuit is reckless and unfounded i have every confidence that this unfounded and the richesse lawsuit will be revealed for what it is another failed attempt to defend the indefensible and a shameless attempt to profit off the lives and grief of those 7 years on from the death of Trayvon Martin and the woes seem on heal for martins family and for George Zimmerman and us society also as wounds that are sore and open the divide is getting wider well those of us who are waiting with these protests in nature us resort lation this tasteless no surprise we all know that there has been a virtual reign that.

Questions. Hello and welcome to cross talk where all Things Considered im Peter Lavelle the Economic System known as capitalism has generated more wealth than any other system in history in many ways that is defined maternity itself hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty however competent lism has also witnessed growing income inequality plus the appeal of socialism currently on the rise in capitalism work for all.
