the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person who goes with. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. the corporate parasites in power today might think their role will continue forever

whether they're right or wrong we have to keep fighting western more. play. something for you your sports speech he. gave there i'm going to send a signal and you're watching just press play the saga for him to invent reports exclusive interviews on controversial issues you may have missed during this week on our can marry a nowhere place to be president joe biden he's enjoying his popularity as approval ratings are high but he's direct cats more unused with great scientists plus then he's meter talks with comedian russell peters to discuss how to before. in

a council called environment and i'll be joined live in studio by co-host bring deb or to this cause if this sort of gas is still affecting the average consumer let's get started. on contact host chris hedges worst americans not to be fooled by president joe biden even though byte inseparable rating is 63 percent rick sanchez asked that question of why the president called it's called a socially space some and that wall street guardian by others more a news sent. well he has a high approval rating as to obama when he came into office obama was also compared to f.d.r. and then turned out to quote phrase by my friend cornel west to be

a black mascot for wall street biden has long serve the interests of the business elites and lead he was chosen by obama to be a vice president because in essence he voted has voted republican senator a credit card most of the big credit card companies are based in delaware and he has you know he was an author of the patriot act nafta on and on and on and then of course in the clash with bernie sanders the democratic party leader made it very clear lloyd blankfein the former c.e.o. of goldman sachs and other major figures in the democratic party said that if sanders was the nominee they would vote for trump trump was distasteful in that he didn't bring the gravity and decorum to the management of empire that the elites won they knew biden would do that and when you look at his plan remember biden on the campaign trail had said that he would. when he got to office right $2000.00

stimulus checks that got reduced to $1415.00 minimum wage has collapsed his infrastructure plan is not good is clearly going to be whittled down by the senate and his relief package is essentially handing large sums of money to states and to corporations it's just another version of trickle down economics so then how does it work how is it that all my friends and the folks that i interviewed from time to time on the right can have it so wrong they say he's a communist a socialist but he's going to absolutely give away the country to all the poor people and the rich are going to be a lock i mean they literally have have a converse view of him and you do explain that to us. well but that was true in the obama administration rick i mean they made those same charges against obama when the track record is quite clear obama serve the interests of wall street indeed

bailed wall street out bailed out the people who carried out the financial fraud at the expense of the victims of that fraud so that's a rhetorical feint i'm not sure they believe it unfactored i think most of them are probably quite comfortable with biden biden is not going to touch structurally the for profit health care system he has called for an increase in his budget military budget by a leavened 1000000000 dollars 1.6 percent increase and that's over 750 $1000000000.00 so yeah i think that's just part of the kind of political game but the reality is that he has always been and remains essential creature of the corporate elites so he that would be the any more expression is a walking representation of that saying we hear all the time that nowadays in america there really is no difference between a democrat and

a republican. former president when that is the baby named astri and now president biden is moving to manful flavored cigarettes among other products attorney sarah up until a new job in the big picture this week so this cause whether they've been and manful create the sions are real causes for concern that the back industry and the targeted. are brands like these just inherently fragile. well 1st i got to point out exactly how this industry is spinning the narrative like we said they've been is not a safer alternative to cigarettes in fact what we found is that there can be up to 8 times the amount of nicotine in a single puff of east cigarette versus a shot of a regular cigarette and that's not even to mention all of the carcinogens that are found in this baby in liquid so it's not a safe will say for our alternative to the traditional cigarette is just

a narrative that this industry is spinning and they contend you to spin this narrative because they're so desperate to create this new generation of addicts right that's the classic tobacco business model that we've seen over the years let's get people addicted but specifically let's get children addicted let's get i'm addicted without flavored nicotine so easy i mean if actions are pushing hundreds of thousands of dollars into schools in an effort to promote a pain they're telling people it's safe and it's become a serious issue among teens we see we see the increase in babying rise substantially so luckily states are pushing this legislation because they recognize that the cigarette manufacturers are targeting our children they're targeting young kids middle school kids so we're going to continue to see cities fighting back and states fighting back and that's good but not all of them are going to be successful because you know it really is going to just depend on the nature of the legislation that's proposed and it's going to depend on the jurisdiction that it's in and of course it's going to depend on whether or not we can overcome the thousands of

dollars hundreds of thousands of dollars that these industries fund in their legal team to try to overcome these hurdles. yeah you know that brings to mind something else because recreational cannabis is now legal in what 17 states and i speak to you from providence rhode island where up and down interstate 95 there is a billboard war going on between the just over the state line and massachusetts weed stores and no government seems to be resisting this because everyone needs the tax money do you foresee a backlash against legal weed. it's all going to depend on what the federal government does like we see when you're traveling over interstate borders it does become sort of an issue because you know if it's legal in one state not legal another then you run into interstate commerce issues but it's really going to have to come down to uniformity across the states when we find

a solution and i think like you said states are so willing to accept it because because they're seeing huge profit rises in medical marijuana so it's really going to see it be interesting to see what the federal government decides and how this issue develops over time. and at the moment these we retailers have a real problem because the banks don't want to do business with them. has been in the midst of this and riots that are lies that contrie for more than 2 weeks what started as a practice against the government new tax reform morphed into a full escalation of clashes between the police and various unhappy groups like unions indigenous people and they do with scott email he was goes into white eat have been and if there is any solution in sight. so why are these protests still going on do you feel like. used to many things happened to bloom in the last either years old prices came down dramatically old prices came down or median migrants are

going to say look into colombia your labor market came right home you created and then you have that crisis only 111 will decline trees that has. their worst outcome can be as dear as a contraction of almost 7 percent of g.d.p. so i mean all those things coming together has 20 percent unemployment. skyrocketed almost 42 percent of the people are on there already levels soledad together that has created a very toxic climate well and a lot of that sounds like you know kind of meringue what's going on here in the united states that's why i think a lot of residents in the u.s. could be very sympathetic as you mentioned you've had your borders have been definitely infiltrated i mean you have a deal with an immigrant crisis there the obviously low employment you know and you're having the same argument that we're having here in the u.s. the target of a lot of these protests have been towards a law enforcement and i've seen lots of images of police stations and fire and flooded with

a social media so why does make people so angry at the place and made them a target. colombia has very little police for every 100 people and that's if huge were unbelievers to try to keep but when you go to there when you have some organized groups that really want to reduce ability to go. as you clearly know there's a lot of money from drug dealing. whole economy has had some terrible years that drug related business has an amazingly well so those people gain a lot by creating stability and so well those groups are the land and there's a lot of members that didn't became part of the peace process so how do you then with a lot of cash they can do the see not a great instability of the police and all just start while there are very few people use compared to the number of protesters so that is a very imbalanced relationship that i was with this whole thing. and that is a lot of money behind the fortune. well and i have to ask is there raining on the ground who are the people that are out there protesting or sometimes we see in the

united states sometimes you have people that come in and they feel very passion about it sometimes you do see like you said the paid protesters there's money behind it you know does the average columbian and are they involved in what is going on or are they kind of still living trying to at least live their daily lives as best as possible with a crippled economy as you can you might think with 17.5 percent of what haven't got a lot of people that are suffering a lot of the growth. and the jews know that it's almost 35 percent unemployment so they out of the streets protesting with very legitimate arguments and they're very frustrated by that older people on this side you know that want to create these names that are able to create a climate of violence a crisis that is not what is happening all over the country sturdy seasick areas particularly. where gullies and what not and they've been along and i would throw be again this huge region and that there are 3 for many years so you know how will that be and makes these very complex is how many and all over the country some very

specific areas and as you can imagine most of the people are are positive this is they are going for legitimate request from the government but it seems you will hold interest groups with a lot of money out of created quite a bit of disorder. when we come back the united states has gone into a tailspin in the wake of the gas and young line from the gas tank right after these. i'm holland cook i invite you to climb with me above the main stream media empire and from that higher fan to each to glimpse the big picture question more. for so much going on in the world don't you think when's the last time you had a real bird's eye view of. the news feed more than just hours of bickering and

giving 30 minutes i'll take you off the low. artsy america brings you stories of world wide significance news the proper media were fuses to show you from social movements to civil wars to tech breakthroughs to epidemics because our journalists and audience ally dare to question more. seeing the horrors that arise with money and evil. corporate criminals who trash countless lives there just one more dollar to their millions. they threaten they bribe they'll do anything to keep their crimes in the door but the people they've heard are demanding justice their stories need to be told on america's lawyer.

you're. welcome back not on your watch in just for a space to base castle culture has he been there or the comedian said beat the to say funny stories without being censored well that's not the case of russell peters the comedian sales then his meter how he created the podcast allowing his guest to speak freely about whatever they want to discuss into vase cancel culture. you know we're living in a time where but he scared what they're saying in public and as i'm sure are you in private with your friend and much like myself when i'm with my friends i always say to them i go could you imagine if somebody could hear our conversation right now we would be canceled so i basically have those same types of conversations in my

backyard with my friends we smoke a cigar we have some drinks and we just talk it's free talk and there's no amount of us involved when we're talking about anybody so i mean if you want to cancel us for being real people and talking about real things and that's on you that's not on us and the people that want to cancel you were never your fans they're never people that were in your corner to begin with so what is your sudden beef with us on this and so i want to get back to the times when freedom of speech was free. well you know russell it's odd because it's counterintuitive but one has to go back and. think george orwell was no strict dahmus he always thought it would be the global left to to some degree and indeed 30 years of. open mind of this which is always preached over there and now comes with a very close minded kept me up to it it's a bit it's very confusing but i don't think they see it or if they do see it that's

even more frightening to me because they see it and choose not to do anything about it which seems malevolent as a part as a as opposed to misguided. why is this whole notion. you know we need to be more tolerant upon be more tolerant well if i'm telling you to be jolly then i have to be tolerant of your intolerance it's just best when i work a. pretty strong words and not reach coloreds. listen we've got mission creep over there and when it reaches the host of the bachelorette i would say we're somewhere near the pillars of hercules a so. we're actually done any active discussion it's a it's a very odd time and i've never actually physically met a cancelled person. i don't know if you have but never be met you see them online because you don't actually see a base and i think they're bots i think the russians. but i do

feel their plight of sometimes people say things that if you're going to be in the public eye i get it there's e.u. should you owe it to yourself to be smart enough to not compromise your rice bowl with some idiocy i see other people who have just done what anybody else does on any given day in many aspects of their life which is a little more rough and tumble than shot through the p.c. prism and they're over as far as a wage earner that that is a frightening promise to make. it's a very weird and you know i'm starting to realize this. is a p.c. culture isn't coming from now it's come from the inside because when i'm on the phone with networks or agencies or whatever they're the ones telling you what you can and cannot say it's not outside so the fact that the industry is actually doing this to us is scary because that's our industry and they're the ones.

according to the labor department inflation search at the fastest pace since september of 2008 this jump in inflation let's expect that after a year of lockdown see the united states used to cover 1000 and then make boom bust cohost bring that we're explains why that condom is reacting that way to us. and what do you make of this current situation well there's no nothing to suggest that it's transitory remember this is the same fed that told us that the problems in subprime were contained inflation isn't as it is as transitory now has a subprime was contained bagmen but you know it's actually a lot worse than the 4.2 percent year over year if you look at the 1st 4 months so far of this year prices have already moved up by 2 percent in a 4 month period so if you add your lies that you're talking about 6 percent c.p.i. for 2021 but if you look at the trend the monthly trend is accelerating if that

trend continues for the rest of the year we're going to see a c.p.i. in 2021 increasing by better than 20 percent on the year so whatever numbers mr full wolf was using at 4.2 percent a magic how much bigger it is at 20 percent because inflation is a tax this is the way the government is paying for all the spending so if you want to know how we're paying for all the ballots and all the stimulus it's through inflation so every time you go to the super more. get and stuff cost you more money that additional cost is the price we're paying for bigger government professor wolf you know to the point i guess initially about raising inflation or inflation continuing to rise you know when we talk about monetary policy from the fed they've had this easy policy it could lead to long term harm if we continue to see inflation going up. yes the fed is in this impossible situation and as the money

supply you hope it has made corporations more debt dependent than they've ever been by providing them with virtually free money from the federal reserve it would be very dangerous to raise interest rates which is normally what you would do it in inflationary situation because that could risk a cascade of people are unable to turn over their debt to maintain their debt and then what will the corporations do you are seeing a system that is now disintegrating around us nobody knows quite what to do this to shift it is right the inflation could be much greater than what they're guessing at this point and the future is something none of us know so they can't afford to raise the interest rate because of the debt problem but they actually can't afford not to because it will accelerate inflation that will be troubling to.

several states including north carolina and virginia the clear a state of emergency as a result of that gasoline sort that as you can imagine those lines at the pump linger as an exciting this was the out of the hiking on one of the longest gas pipelines in the country the colonial pipeline paid the extortion feet in the media and some dollars to restore the flaw guess i think correspondent not that's a sweet has of the health of a nation in panic. it's got even more than $1000.00 gas stations in the south. reported running out of fuel part of that reason according to analysts is near panic buying among drivers it all began 6 days ago when again after hackers sat down major pipeline drivers lighting up their cars in fear the current gasoline shortage will dry up even more question white says he commutes every day to work at least 25 miles and doesn't want to get stuck with out enough fuel you should have a personal reason we use only

a. regular gas fuel. for it's very. very good start you have to get to work and not have the gas to build. the colonial pipeline the biggest fuel pipeline in the u.s. deliver in about 45 percent of what's consumed on the east coast was hit by a cyber attack last friday hackers locked up computer systems and demanded a ransom to release them the attack is raising concerns about just how vulnerable the nation's critical infrastructure remains well colonial resumed its normal operations monday drivers are still feeling the crunch several states including north carolina and virginia have declared a state of emergency as a result of the gas shortage however officials say there is no reason to hoard gas as it will still take a few days for operations to get up and running at normal levels that it said of ghastly in these areas that motorists simply aren't their cars for a few days and conserve as much as possible but some motorists aren't so sure even while filling up certain types of fuel are also on low as n.p.'s oil price

information service put the number of gas stations in countering shortages at more than $1000.00 in virginia 7.7 percent of the state's nearly $3900.00 gas stations reported running out of fuel tuesday and in north carolina 8.5 percent of the state's $5400.00 gas stations were out while they're helping reports of price gouging gas prices were rising even before the pipeline incidents and now with summer approaching summer worried about the busy driving season ahead government officials are taking action to assure the public there is no reason to. alarmed over the shortage the environmental protection agency reportedly lifted some fuel quality requirements on an emergency basis and the transportation department is also relaxed and some work for standards to have railroads deliver fuel in lands. to talk more about the gas shortage after the ransomware at tack on the colonial pipeline we have boom bust co-host to join us and discuss some more and thank you

for coming of course ok brant that attacker chose one of the most important energy infrastructure in that country to hack the colonial pipeline carries gasoline and other products to 14 states even more all of these are gasoline is mostly used in that east coast so does the same price structure is often and do the companies pay without hesitation how common are these run some. routes where attacks are very common on this scale for a large scale infrastructure like this where it comes to energy where it's gas or the power grid or something like that we haven't seen something quite as large scale but i want to bring up some numbers here you know one boom bust we're numbers people 2500 ransomware attacks were reported by the f.b.i. last year that's up 66 percent from 29000 so this is getting more and more common and lately we've been seeing it more in local municipalities where they might take on a little bit of their health care system government computer systems and they do the

same thing now as for paying it it has become a little bit more common because it's cheaper to pay it than try to figure out how to get rid of it but the insurance industry for cyber attacks has also grown with a lot of these companies now having insurance programs to cover this if it were to happen again so they have to spend them on absolutely or some money in some cases where people are excited to rating when the long lines were for him and the gas station i don't know if you say that on your software these long lines there wasn't there i did behavior among consumers even risking their. i still get a hold of that he quit feeling plastic bags we saw all over twitter these pictures but the same think the us consumer product safety commission even sent a warning against it do not fill gasoline with plastic bags but now you want to make a point that they are very right that you should not do that but the twitter account has also been known to kind of like to do things that might be viral lately to get

the protection out there more recently put. the cash shortage with unnecessarily overblown we don't know exactly how much supply was being put in and how much supply was actually affected what we do know though is that the demand nationwide went up about 20 percent according to gas but it was actually referenced in the patches package 40 percent on the east coast in those in those areas and which are fueled by the colonial pipeline and because of that i said if you look at the way that they do business if you're a gas station you know this week of may or of april this is how much gas we need well if the demand goes up 40 percent so be harder for us no matter what happens to get the gas that needs to be put in the tank so there was a little bit of panic buying that caused the supply shortage where there was actually a supply supply shortage bet everybody suffered consumers and big corporations i include all right thank you so much for coming on that's it for it does present me . to see more of the cleats you just saw here download the portable of the t.v.'s for your i phone our angry device will see you here next time and as always don't

forget to put him. dear you were thank you for finally changing your understanding and you're tired of networks or news with your children or. ready to them. as they are. no matter what the person. you know me 'd

i'm famous for my views. and they need. yours truly 'd scottie nell you guys i made a professional ish power point to show you how archie america fits into the greater media landscape martini's not all laughter all right but we are a solid alternative to the. liberal or conservative and as you can see his bar graph we owe to you the facts either talking at lefties talking at righties oh there you go above it all to look at world r.t. america is in the spotlight now every glee i have no idea how to classify as it actually took me way more time and i care to admit. oh. by.

shocking images of children killed in the crossfire as a week of rage between israel and gaza shows no sign of relenting barrages of missiles from both sides have intensified. their children that she was 3 years old would be the jewel of the me to this or it's a given that they were the pieces to. stop the madness so that the plea of the israeli president is chaos reigns on the streets with arab and jewish mobs facing off shops are vandalized cars torched and the driver is dragged from his vehicle and beaten unconscious. 2 people die and over 160.
