3:01 pm
time they do that. a lot of people are asking, you know, was it worth i question now since sunday ah . hello and welcome. this is all kids, not, no, no, i must go to myself and the whole team here who are watching hobby. can't see them . sorry. welcome to the program. i was done with breaking news from washington, d. c. a man who caused the piece to evacuate the area near the library of congress has haunted himself over to the police. so around 9 in the morning, local time he pulled up in a black pickup truck to the pavement at the capitol hill and called the police officers on the f. b. i responded to this call about the suspicious vehicle need to explain the man claim he had explosives, and even
3:02 pm
a detonator. officials blocked the surrounding area and the court and did all all its actuating nearby buildings, including a very important political building. supreme court. the man was identified as 49 year old floyd re rose bree thought to be from north carolina, a trump supporter, and he had a criminal record where he is free, live streams events from inside his truck. the video has been since split it his account locked by facebook, a very swift response unusual for them. but the footage revealed him promising a revolution and addressing joe by doesn't want to get him on the phone, reported the saying, you want to have that phone talk with him with the president of the us. he claimed he got enough explosives to level 2 and a half blocks if he got shot by the police. he also claimed he didn't. one thought he didn't want to home any you on. he was just hoping to return home to his wife. now she reportedly told the media that recently roseberry has had struggled with mental health issues. and in fact changed medications with diagnosed bipolar if the
3:03 pm
reports are to be believed. but the night before he told her he was going on a fishing trip. she also reported to explain that he was very distressed to the results of the 2020 elections where he was at donald trump. so says who, of course, you know, last quite sensationally. his video from 3 years ago adds to the claim of him being a hard core microphone. ashes to ashes dust players will listen. donald trump, carolina still be with us. i will. what to nadia snipers were reportedly called to the area. i think we saw them lying on the grass by capitol hill, while the situation was unfolding had the police presence. you can see the reasons behind growth breathe. stun still remain unclear in his life 3, you mentioned you wanted to go home. just like will be honest on he wanted to go home and then he later apparently, hodges himself, they've $34.00 also in thing is the fool out of all of that on twitter to hash tags
3:04 pm
are printing at the moment. one is hash tag full flag, the other is hash tag micah terrorists. so that really gives us an idea of the polarization and the polarized reaction to this. some believe that he was a victim of one to flaming him because he was a trump report to the other thinking that he is a trump terrorist. so american still very much split down the middle. all these months softer, of course donald trump has vacated the white house. well, let's bring a now that's a moderate stop in american john. the law guy translator, we spoke to you earlier. of course, it seems to have settled down. i know you were in the thick of it. now we never return to them. so fed, i just want to get your opinion. what do you think? what do you pod, the drove him to make this quite dramatic threat. so i was here when the capital police chief announced that he was taken in without a struggle without incident they said that he had a criminal record in north carolina,
3:05 pm
but to capital police chiefs were nothing that serious and that he had his mother had recently passed way is the only other thing he mentioned. there was no mention of politics. they said they would be clearing the scene for several hours, looking to make sure that the truck is actually said. they had concerns about the propane tank in the back of it, which is dangerous center of the actual farm. up they were, they were basically trying to calm the crowd down. and shortly after the 1st conference, the capital police yelled at random, local jogger was trying to walk on to capital grounds, not paying attention to the barricade. so it seemed like on the actual ground, it was a fairly normal day in washington d. c. now on social media from what i've seen has been completely different. there's been all this chatter about bog terrorists and all this other stuff that seems to be to me from where i'm sitting after having watched the situation on hold and cobble for the past several days. and the reaction very delayed and confuse reaction to which in d. c. as if it's
3:06 pm
a perfect change of subject to make the american public look just about anywhere else. was a very interesting take. i didn't want to go back to politics now it's transpired. the he is a trump supporter. key thing capital. hell could have had a special significance for him given what happened on january the 6th of course. well, based on the video you showed me, it looked like he was berating some football players for kneeling, for the national anthem and losing the game. i mean, the trump support 75000000 americans voted for trump in the last election. that's a pretty big barrel to stuff everybody in i a lot. the look subtle, the prevailing attitude on that portion of the american political spectrum is that january 6th was at, at best a horrible mistake and at worst a set up. i don't know if that's true or not, but that's what they believe. and so i don't think they would. i'm not in his head . i don't know what motivated him. i can't really. this is
3:07 pm
a bad at toward disclaimer. i can't really say what he did or didn't do, and we'll see if he has anything to say. but i don't think he sort of came back to the capital for any sort of special significance, especially since biden's not in d. c. biden's in delaware and congress is our session. so there was literally nobody from the structures of power to pay attention to him except for the police and the media. i want to look at the broader picture, of course, a completely appreciate point. no one's in his head and i don't think we'll find out for a couple of days. probably looking at the pool, the picture. i mean, many trump supporters, like you said, some 5000000 people voted for trump. a lot of those feel bitterly cheated by the last election. is there a concern that some could have become i mean roger closed so biden's department homeland security last week, right before the retreat from up can stand began, basically put domestic terrorists and mog, supporters, christians and so on and so forth is the highest priority. as the biggest threat to
3:08 pm
the government and basically anybody would any sort of opinions critical of the government policy. and so they were already thinking of the, in those terms before the situation in afghanistan broke, i am expecting them at this point to fully double down on that and basically same book, you know, the serious directly must correct down or in any sort of criticism of government, whether in the sense of corporate policies locked down mass mandates. a criticism of the pull out from if you understand these are all governmental opinions and anybody who holds them is a terrorist who needs to be 1st off of social media and so on. and so forth. i wouldn't be surprised if this happened, because the most recent polling is absolutely catastrophic for president biden showing him under water. even among democrats who are unhappy with the handling if you can pull out. and with this whole flopping around, trying to make the. ringback change the subject and telling people that they've got the had, have the 3rd vaccine and so on,
3:09 pm
so forth. it seems like the white house is sort of losing its grip on power and they're afraid of any sort of pushback from society. now of course, i want to ask you about the last election. it's still very much seems to exist in the room as the foot, how the divisions healed at all. i mean bite and came to power. she said, i want to heal the nation, but have things actually got worse with him and power. they have. the polarization has become a much worse. as i just said, the by the administration has essentially said the crease. i think the government has a sign of domestic care potential terrorism, whereas trumpeters came out when the images for couple started flooding and saying that it's not in his words, biden is an illegitimate president, so it's no wonder that he screwed this up. you literally have a division straight down the middle of america with a lot of people, a continuing to believe that the last election was illegitimate. whether they're
3:10 pm
right in that belief or not that that's what they believe. and that's how they feel . and instead of trying to persuade them or, you know, tell them or try to make some sort of unifying gesture, the people empower basically going well, who cares? you will submit. i do also want to ask this apparently an individual acting alone. his ex wife suggests that he has a history with mental health problems in stability, but you envisage a scenario. where will these disaffected trump supporters who katy feel that they are now being turned on? who that being deemed terrorist by the, by demonstration for that political views could potentially act connectivity and kind of provide a strong pushback. no, not after january 6 of any sort of organized efforts. beyond like, the local school board is essentially going to be played by accusations that been orchestrated by the f b. i especially after what happened with the michigan plot. the alleged plot to
3:11 pm
kidnap the governor of michigan, which has since emerged, was basically orchestrated by f. b. i. informant, that outnumbered the alleged militia. so any sort of talk of all, we'll let you know protests against the government. if anybody says that they will be accused of being a fed within a minute, why really appreciate you giving us an insight into what the political landscape looks like. it's katie, a very tense moment in american history. that was an abortion monitor in american john the blog, a translator reporting from that scene in dc. many, thanks. thank you for having while another big sore, of course recovering the taliban has declared the creation of the islamic emerett of afghanistan, the same name they used for the country when they were lost in power for days on from the town of bonds. dramatic return that had been fresh scenes of cale copel's main port as people try to flee on wednesday. hundreds crowded, its barriers and fences. young children even were past the people's heads as
3:12 pm
desperate parents hoped us gods would accept them and bring them to safety. confound! comply has been heard coming from town upon checkpoints and since sunday and he's 12, people have been killed amid the kale, the airport dozens more have been injured. the report suggest the us military's take asked to discuss crowds, amassing out the entrance. dozens of people was seen sitting on the ground with that possessions line all around them. as being confirmed, the us troops did 5 warning shots as quote, a crowd control measure. all right, now you're looking at is non verified for showing f down women at the airport pleating with us thought to let them in. the pen can says it has to defend the ass field because thousands could overrun it, putting it school to the risk. america and other western countries are prioritizing, getting the nationals out fuss and the pentagon itself admits it's facing difficulties. getting people back,
3:13 pm
we don't have the capability to go out and collect up large numbers of people. we're really working hard to get as many people through as possible. and quite frankly, we're not we're, it's obvious. we're not close to where we want to be in terms of getting the numbers through. so we're going to work that 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. the us was caught unawares and i think once again, they have failed to analyze what the situation was. it really puts on full display of the delusions of the us, which after all has been in afghanistan for almost 20 years. consuming, according to some estimates, 2 trillion dollars. this money has not gone to the benefit of the afghan people, obviously. and this whole enterprise has been very bad for the american people as well. many us soldiers have died. the good thing about exposing the delusions
3:14 pm
of the us empire and the neo conservative to run u. s. foreign policy is that it's going to make them harder to continue, so there needs to be a lot more criticism and exposure of what the reality is versus what are the promises and the, the false estimates by us intelligence officials. united nations security council has wrapped up a session devoted period of terrorism on the threats it poses just days after i've gone on fell into the hands of the town upon the situation. not country was of course, high on the agenda. among the speak up the session was the food more audion. he sobbed as chief off presidential programs on to ask. i'm president, how many calls i made an impassioned, please help donald most into when to alert and mitigate. an echo politic humanitarian, tragedy, and reduce in the you and must overcome. it's usually approach by declaring your
3:15 pm
situation as engine. you manage area and crisis under the chapter 7, provision of the united nation charge. and this should include serious an urgent deliberation to declare cabal as safe doing protected by a un peacekeeping missions. this would love the opposing faction to compton inclusive political settlement while working to mitigate the unfolding catastrophe at the meeting of the 15 member body. that leads the united nations. we heard dire warnings from the afghan and boy talking about the threat of terrorism and how the situation in afghanistan threatens the global community. now what was interesting is when we heard from the representative of the united states, it seemed like a very different message. the us representative did not play up concerns about the situation. and i have janice dan, but seemed to kind of downplay the potential threat only reflecting on the possibility that if terrorists were to set up shop in afghanistan,
3:16 pm
this could somehow result in the plotting of terror attacks in the united states. a very interesting message, we will hold the taliban accountable for its commitments not to allow any terrors to threaten the united states or its allies from afghan soil. and as i said earlier this week, we all, we must all work together to ensure afghanistan can not ever, ever, again, be a base for terrorism. folks will recall how the situation in cobble is kind of capturing the attention of the world. there is a number of people surrounding the airport begging for the opportunity to leave the country, fearing the taliban and their return to power. but the united states is scrambling to evacuate its own personnel and its own citizens, let alone people and a half dennis dan, who fear for their lives amid the return of the taliban, the u. s. department of defense, as admitted that it basically doesn't have
3:17 pm
a breakdown of who has been on the evacuation flights and that there they are, may be, it does not know. basically how many americans are still trapped in cobble. now, at the un security council, the message of the united states would seem to not really be concerned about the implications of their sudden withdrawal from afghanistan, and that the implications of the world that message did not go down so well with various international figures. here's some of what we heard criticizing the u. s. approach leaving the country abruptly after 20 years was that i did just consider the tragic events and september the 11th 2001 and for the past 20 years of galveston was full of american. the nato troops, military instructors and advises as officially to glad goal was to fight terrorism and to prepare african security forces to take part in this fight as well. tremendous human and financial resources were expanded on this. and what's the bottom line? once for an instructor, scent troops left all 20 years worth of efforts were nullified overnight. no one
3:18 pm
was willing able to fight for the values imposed by foreign powers. has a gun to stand seems to be a terrorist and brought threat? certainly not. but it's now up to the new ab gonna authorities and the come for its neighbors to deal with that. now the western troops of left the african people having to deal with an even bigger pile of problems, meeting wasn't solely devoted to afghanistan. it focused on the threat of terrorism around the world. and a lot of time at the meeting was devoted to discussing the continuous formation and presence of the ice hill terrorist group around the world. there was concern about the continuous bomb attacks in terrorism in different parts of the world. the attacks on civilians and military camps in african states. it was also touched on what would be done about the ice hill foreign fighters who continue to be held in custody in syria and iran and iraq. how would they be dealt with? how would they be processed and dealt with. also there was some concern about the fate of children being held in detention camps with their parents. these children
3:19 pm
who are held and associated with ice hill. so that was the focus of the meeting. the focus was on the world situation, the threats of terrorism. a lot of different countries spoke up. that was the meeting of the un security council or cobbled port. it's still over crowded with people struggling to flee. and while the list of countries conducting rescue operations is known as you can see, the number of people who actually managed to leave is very small, would be if i q is, are facing a number of problems. one is that the u. s. doesn't have enough troops to guard the airport or provide security on checkpoints. well, some countries have security doubts about taking refugees in on a more preoccupied with the return of the own citizens, right? you'll, wrongly, the u. s. has evacuated, the largest number of national so far plans to rescue 22000 refugees by the end of august. as the u. k. the forty's her po, box, more than 360 british citizens over 2000 africans, germany,
3:20 pm
which was slammed for taking 7 people on its 4 plane out of cobble, has now helped almost a 1000 pizza. all of us picks up the story. well, what we've been hearing here in germany from the interior ministers of the 16 states that may cope the federal republic is their petitioning host. the hope of the federal interior minister thing germany needs a new african refugees program, the official message, or the message coming from the top of government here at berlin low, is that they want to see african refugees housed and looked after in neighboring countries to of canister countries like a ron and pakistan as well. what we've heard from angular merkel though is she says there are lessons that must be learned from what's happened enough on the phone. these are still at this point, i can say that we have nor did she tell goals, and we have to discuss what lessons we have learned from this or german evacuation flights are continuing to leave the airport in cobble as of thursday morning, around 900 people had been taken out on those planes,
3:21 pm
but not before. they'll germany vacuum 265000 cans of beer and 340 bottles of wine to come in for some criticism for doing math before people were put on those planes. we're also looking at how it's being perceived in the why the european sends a lot of you politicians desperate to avoid a repeat of the 2015 refugee crisis. what we've, what we've heard from the likes of a manual mark on the french president, this him saying that his country needs to be protected from those who are seeking refuge. austria has said that camps need to be set up in neighboring countries to of got us down to detain those people who've already previously been expelled from the european union to stop them. essentially, trying to get back in to the you, when it comes to greece, which is one of those countries that is at entry into the european union for refugees and migrants. well,
3:22 pm
they're saying they're not going to see 2050 repeat itself. very strong words coming out of athens, as they say absolutely no way. is that going to happen there, in fact threatening, they'll send people back to turkey, which is in turn, say no way they can't take any more refugees coming over these particular routes. president, one, they're saying fences and walls will be erected the commission as well. those saying refugees need to avoid those routes that had been used since 2015, 16 to get into the european union. we should avoid irregular routes, dangerous routes that are facilitated by smartness. instead, we should engage in legal safe ways for people in need of international protection to come to your opinion. well, it's not just those people that have been referred to is illegal, a regular that are having issues at the moment. those that have rights as it would
3:23 pm
be to get out of cobble airport on some of those planes are also at a loss how to do that right now. our colleagues at the german language system service spoke to one german passport holder, one german citizen who told us his situation. and i just, i'm a german citizen. throughout the day i stay in constant contact with the german foreign ministry and the german ambassador to couple. i received an email saying that one can enter germany, only one is a family member of a german. my fiance is such a person, but she's not being recognized from the official status. she's a citizen of afghanistan. we hope to leave the country as soon as possible, and one of the evacuation charter flights, of course, were very worried about what's going on. we haven't gone out since the day before yesterday since the taliban set up checkpoints all around the city were also worried that they could find out that i'm a foreigner or that in the future are situation. mike, you worse if they find out that my fiance is engaged or got married abroad once we arrive safely in germany, we'll of course have no more reason to fear for our lives. we live in a free and democratic country. that's where i want to return to,
3:24 pm
that's where i belong. i'm calling on the government and the german foreign ministry to let us finish all the paperwork in germany. we have the originals of all of our documents in our hands. let us finally leave this caliphate give me and my fiance permission to enter germany. protest has gathered in london on one se, confirming the u. k. governments response to the events in afghanistan. they call for those still stock that to be brought to britain as quickly as possible on the case for infections also facing called to resign off to ask on top to he walked with british soldiers missed being evacuated from cobble because dominic rob was too busy away and holiday to give the green light and time mazda of our colleagues ask our former jobs, who fled to the country. the town of on thought came to power and then moved u. k. told us how difficult it was to escape the militants. my job was not competing with a dollar bond in 1997 in the home me my she became and
3:25 pm
my house and they brought our front door so i was hiding in the back door for 56 hours. when the list of mind, we decided to be sure to pakistan in 2007 did try to kill me on, on me over a car deal with me for this was done most the in my life when i left my country, my job, my family the age of 43 is not easy. 3 there thing you rate in your life already or cheaper for me and for my senior women activists. and i've chemist on a do not change a lot of evidence against the telephone to us than before. pick up, set out the rapid fall of the west and back government and called on the resurgence of the town upon a british veterans on families lost loved ones to the conflict with some question.
3:26 pm
now if all those talk replaces weren't vain accusing us and u. k. governments of the withdrawal, we spoke to the mother a full and push a soldier, sean vinny, who was killed in a fire fight with ton of medicines back in may 2009. he was 22 years old, his mother, jeanette ben. he told us about the emotions she's been feeling since sunday. a lot of i'm very on the outside able to do that that they've been able to come in and do what they need to do. a lot of people are asking, you know, was it worth i question not. and since sunday, reflect any of the months and families that have lost loved ones, they have really been able to comprehend best. i know that when my son was told he was killed, saved, and women and children and the men that he was mentioned at a time along with his own una i will be for effort grateful to him and so cried that at the end of the d has life was given to try meet the country back to start
3:27 pm
the child from being able to rule the naval to cause head or anyway, as the light went off down and within 24 hours they have just walked in and took over. it's just ludicrous to me need to explain to us why the fight is true so rapidly between the yuki and america beneath explain why this is, i mean i personally would like an inquiry as to why that happens. like what the moment women are among the most threatened groups and taliban control canister on. since the takeover, odds and cobbles showing women's faces have been painted over some local say, women have practically disappeared from the streets with any of the very small number. daring to come out, who said actually and john les to stranded and couple says he hasn't seen a single woman in his hotel since the taliban took control of your liking. i live in the hotel and capital citizens and stuff because i can't leave the premises. the
3:28 pm
1st thing i witness doctor riding and capitol was horrendous. terror attacking the defense ministry. that was a sign of things to come. the attack was terrible soldiers, taliban fighters that were all blown to pieces. locals have been watching. recent events with horror. these are dark days. tragedy that's causing the drum, this upheaval in society. don't forget that the taliban is talking about the inevitable creation of an emirate of galveston. what does that mean? it means the regime that's more religious than political on top of the religious measures. they'll introduce more violent ones, and these are the worst for women which make up of the half of the population will have no basic rights, no freedom of expression. they will be covered from head to toe with just little slits for the eyes. women, a very bad are frightened by what could be in store for them. they will effectively be turned into slaves. many of them a leading figures activists. many in sports music, different types of activities have been told. for example, bout
3:29 pm
a female pianist spent 20 years starting to realize the dream of attending the conservatory the taliban and told her no, you won't play any more the end of her passion. so once di, until life, that's what i've been told, and that's a drama. now it's how things are shaping out for now. thanks to keep me company, i'll next turn off the caf report to enjoy. ah, now we have isa gretz. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out how do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce? are these, these are making the tobacco tours the the, the, the the
3:30 pm
i am max kaiser. this is the kaiser report. we're going to follow up on something we've been talking about for awhile and that is lack of leadership, but never ending money printing stacy. well, you know, the thing about the trip and dilemma as we have covered, is that this was predicted sense bretton woods is that there's always a clash between domestic and international policy for the reserve currency because you have to print money and you have to send it overseas, so 1st you get rid of your goal, then you get rid of your manufacturing. so we got rid of that we with, when we got rid of our manufacturing here in the united states in order to support the us dollar as reserve currency. one of the.
