that's moving, it's a very time, it's midnight. but look how bright it is. it looks to me. we are on top of the work coming together and i'm going to why i want to venture a yeah more that tomorrow, but to the present. that's it. so far around it for moscow. more for me, kevin no. into the team on judy hear it out. he's world the center. 30 minutes. me time. stick. ready for coming from x programs coming up after the short break? the ukranian president has just accomplished i years on quest to sit down with the

american president. what was it worth the way we're going to get you all the details and the reporting details that is straight up buildings and equipment used for the cia and ask in advance for the even more questions regarding why the military cannot do the same. this is a possibility of the us treasury, just issuing a new license to ease the flow of humanitarian aid. day during united states. damage assessments from ida are already reaching the millions even before ida is out of date. we will bring you the latest on the recovery effort and you removed the us from it's a safe list. we will tell you what that means for americans who were planning to travel to europe in the near future, as well as who the cdc now says, should stay at home this labor day weekend. and did you know that netflix didn't do business in china? well, why not? well known actor claims. he was asked to rewrite a film because a well known service doesn't occur there. sean stone joined us to discuss. i'm

going to use and you're watching new views right here on our t america. let's get started. ah, thanks for joining us. you know, your current president of lot america lensky has met with president joe biden. and it comes at a time when the validity of us security commitments are being questioned. this is the 1st time as well, and he has been given an audience with the us president, despite multiple attempts since 2019 to buy it and reaffirm to the u. s. commitment to ukraine while the landscape. thanks the present for $60000000.00 and military aid. united states remains firmly committed to ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of russian aggression and, and our support to ukraine, euro atlantic, aspirations around the book in seattle. and thank you for the

$60000000.00 program out for defense development of green till the end of this year . we appreciate this contribution to give us some insight into what zaleski wanted to accomplish. we bring in german cuz we're off managing, editor of covert action magazine. jeremy, thank you so much for joining me on today. i know it just happen. they're just kind of breaking up. we don't know much, but i realize that you are probably watching the conversation. so why do we know about today's conversation between the 2 presidents? those law unusual talk about russian aggression and i think is on the clip. there was significant was another $60000000.00 in security assistance to ad who is already $275000000.00. that the blind administration is provided since it's come in in january, and that includes anti anti javelin, and they are missile. so pretty heavy duty military equipment. and there was a major defense agreement that was concluded at the pentagon yesterday to increase

cooperation, the block c and intelligence sharing. so i think we see the strategy and the united states where they're moving, you know, they end of the war and afghan, stand in the u. s. involvement, but they're focusing now on russia and china and beefing up, you know, us alliances with countries that are from the containment of russia and china. yeah, it's really interesting because i agree with you that they add another estimate to 75. but is that really a lot and we're talking about military vehicles that cost a $1000000000.00 or military things that are the items that are needed that have are upwards of several $1000000.00. i mean, is that really concern? how much money to us just finished spinning in afghan sand that were supposedly going to get it. now i'd have to spend anymore like that budget free, you know, could this actually show that ukraine? where does it fit into the by to ministrations realignment where the us global commitment is, the u. s. really standing behind ukraine, like it might look like at initials at initial site?

i mean, i think so since 2014 on the out of the pro ration present us is committed over, i think, 2500000000. so that is a lot of money. i mean, that could fund a lot of teachers and infrastructure here in the united states. so, i mean, i think it's pretty significant commitments. and i think we see that the, by the ministration is focused on china and russia, the major adversaries of the united states. and we're going to see more of this, i think, you know, with taiwan, the u. s. has been providing extensive arm sales to taiwan and trying to counter china. so that seems to be that the focal point right now. and you know, they want to extract themselves from middle east. so i do have this question 2500000000. you're right. that is a lot of dollars and a lot of money that i think here domestically in the u. s. that could be used in places, but to $5000000000.00. what is actually being? is that money being used for in ukraine? can you see it on the ground? what are the ukrainians doing with $2500000.00 or $1000000000.00 worth of american

taxpayer dollars? well, i think you raise afghan stands, a similar situation where the money is kind of going into black hole. i mean, the war in eastern ukraine is like the war and f. galveston, unwinnable war going on for many years now. it's kind of a quagmire. ukrainian military is not really committed to fighting it. that's why they have these private militias. so. busy you know, a lot of it's going into thing like surveillance technology, drones, and just perpetuating this war that could be end is and so it's just money into a block hole and into defense contractors just like, you know, people been talking about up canister and how much money's been wasted there, so it's not the same scale as you point out, but it's still all the money. and then the ukraine government, very corrupt. so the u. s. is also providing, you know, a cherry and a, they say and a packages, but that's very corrupt governments. and i think, you know, the us taxpayer is not seeing a good return on that money. well,

and that's the thing, you know, and, and, and maybe maybe that's one lesson that comes off gaston right now. we're looking at the how many billions of dollars lives lost in our case. and i will say that the president, craig, but look, you don't have american soldiers and ukraine, you just have your dollar. so you should be as upset as you are. you're not going to see is big of a fiasco with the withdrawal. but i have to wonder what i'm looking to do you think that now that americans are waking up seeing how much money was wasted gas and both for the last 20 years. but this last withdraw that they might demand from accountability for the amount of humanitarian in the money that we're giving to you crying to see where it's actually being spent. and is it actually going for the mission that the united states supposedly committed to? yeah, i think it's up to us isn't to scrutinize their government and to cast attention on the situation ukraine. very few politicians. busy who've challenges in either party, and who pointed out that this is a very corrupt government lensky was supposed to bring in reform, but he's very much tied to this warlord. you her whole my ski,

and i think ukraine's are losing patience with him. his popularity rating is promising so. busy americans have to pressure their politicians. and again, you know, the democratic party has been strongly support this policy in ukraine, this new cold war. and i think we need a new generation of leaders and we need a population to pressure the leaders to, to end this. and to, to challenge what they're doing well, and it'll be interesting because i think even just looking at the ground and what we know of what's going on right on the crane. the quality of life is not improved despite that was the campaign promises that were made something that i think in fort we're feeling here in the united states. and that's the only way that you get to have the people's attention to pay to when they go to the voter box, they go my life better today. when this person, when it came into office, like they promised, or has it decreased severely, us makes that decision. ukrainians are actually asking that same question. thanks for joining us on this issue. now, new visual from the secretive and highly secure ca,

compound and get us and have been released by the new york times. the base had a training area for african counterterrorism units. and an area section offer torture and questioning detainees prior to leaving a detonated explosives, destroying almost the entire area, anything which could have been used by the taliban in the future. so here's where the questions are being raised. the see, i began destroying buildings back in april and may immediately following president biden's announcement. the us forces would leave the country by september, ammunition depots and containment buildings were also completely destroyed by august 27th. even the evacuation of staff seemed to be much more organized according to the photos with everyone being clear to by august 28th. and the taliban took their 1st steps on the property. meanwhile, and the last call between president biden and african president, ash, ref ghani, which lasted 14 minutes and was on july 23rd. president biden told donnie to change the perception whether true or not,

that things were not going well in terms of the fight against the taliban. to discuss this, this was whether or not the us will be sitting humanitarian, a dentist, and we bring in former pentagon official, michael willis, who joined us just yesterday talking about how actual valuable that these weapons were, that the military did not destroy in an easy fix. for an expert, so i wanted to make sure that i got you on the follow up seeing after what i did. thanks for joining us. michael. my pleasure thinking i want to start with a phone call. i think it made it would have made even a month earlier if god would have been more honest and had a plea for help in fighting the taliban and keeping africa said what had made a difference if he were just been honest. will it be just stated in the office? i think that would have made a lot of difference to show leadership. it was clear that by, by then that picked up what trump did much, much earlier that gunny did not exhibit any semblance of leadership. he was or that could emission probably was a smart guy, but in terms of starting leadership,

trump wanted him replaced ultimately and, and for by them just suggest look, just you know, just do something, show some appearance, whether or not it's true of leadership. and it's pathetic, and this is what we were dealing with, and he was the 1st to run. he got on a plane and took tens of millions of dollars. and he's over in the u. e. spending it now. we interesting to see how if anything, followed up with that, like i said, that's i think it's really odd for one leader of one country, china and don't tell the truth about it, but at least look like it's willing well when it's not it sent a bad signal to the troops, if our president is leaving. and the fact too that the united states earlier had stopped support, stop providing other other types of assistance. what, what did they ask in military begin to think and that was highly demoralizing,

that lack of air power. they were trained by the way, they were trained to have air support in their and their activities. and that was taken away from the, by the, by an administration. well, and that's what i want to also get to is what they were trained on here this military. and now that we know the ca, properly disposed of everything that they had there. and we had this conversation, why did not the us military follow the same on the ground? how valuable is this military equipment that was left behind compared to what the taliban previously had? and why couldn't the military follow the same sort of protocol that the cia did and had been preparing for months for this? what ultimately happened? well, as i said yesterday, i'd like to see the videos because i don't believe a word that's coming out of the pentagon. now their credibility shot because you saw row upon row upon row of these, they have the helicopters night vision. i'm, i'd like to know that my vision technology was destroyed. that, that is

a that is a type of a technology that gives you added benefit on the battlefield, especially when you can, can undertake activities at night, and not to mention the howitzers and what have you, these kinds of things they, it really was a value added tremendous value added for them. and i've seen pictures now of them actually sending some of that, those weapons and what have you to iran neighbor in iran, so it's not staying put? well, it'll be interesting now that we have the us treasury, the already set up to move humanitarian aid to get into people. i think all of us are question. would it get to the people or will it be by the taliban as well? like always great to talk to michael now, ida is moving up the eastern united states as a tropical depression sparking flash floods and tornado damage. as for the golf coast, people in new orleans across the louisiana are facing a long road to recovery. power still out for nearly a 1000000 people,

and officials are still assisting the extent of the damage, which they say is devastating and widespread are to get your money. virus has the latest. like most of the city of new orleans, 66 year old are gone. greenberry is living without power, he has no way to keep his food, or is how cool during the hottest part of the summer. and they were doing all right, so, well, you know, i mean, low, we got water and you know, we could cooks up there, but i got to go do some ice or something, you know, but it's just me, you know, because we are pretty radar and have me to though and quick, you know, nearly a 1000000 people who are still without electricity after hurricane either came ashore on sunday is one of the largest storms on record to hit the state. about 25000 crews are working around the clock to restore power. some areas will have it back on in days, but it will be weeks for the hardest hit places. the category for storm ra, flooding and punishing. when throughout the state, anthony staggers,

wrote it out and the cloth, louisiana. oh no, no. they did. no more power within the re you and the train? it would you don't. jason keller watched. i was pounding, wins, topple a tree right onto his home. during that time we've got a category 3. i would assume it's like a $12500.00. 35 miles per hour winds blowing. so i could actually to see 3 cavity back and forth in the roof start simple me out of the grass. i knew the fall on the house 100. the people are rescued from homes where they were left stranded by flood waters, the louisiana national guard activated nearly 5000 personnel and helped move almost 200 people in their pet higher ground fishermen. roy. com or dow, an alum, always vienna bought a losing battle. the state with home and his livelihood from the storm. he may have to survive on his savings until he can get back to work. i don't know when we'd be able to get solid when we would finish down the road in venice. be ours area.

so like for katrina and all that, it took us over 2 months before we could even go ride down to see what we had left . tragically, the death toll from hurricane ida is now it's 6 after 2 electrical workers in alabama died repairing power. good damage caused by the storm. 2 others died in louisiana. one man was killed when a treat on his home, and another drowned crossing a flooded road. while in mississippi, 2 people died and 10 others were injured when flooding caught the highway to collapse. in laplant, louisiana residents like an all of that the are assessing the damage and grateful to have survived. and i'm so sorry to be like this, but we have any choice. we thank god for life because he could have been wasting a lot of bodies could have been quite dead. people could a bit q in all because what god now when we return europe has decided to limit travel from the united states. we will give you the

details on who is still out in all after the break. ah, ah ah ah ah ah, ah, the sometimes a simplest answer is the correct answer and a lot of people ask,

why are these tax tax so high? why is the stock market so high? and the simple answer is that it's a transfer payment. the federal government is transferring the paper money that they print into the pocket. so the tech executives as plain as the nose on your face. and you can see it in the numbers catrice drugs are essential for millions of patients. or are they, they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work. the problem is in a long term, they're mostly disastrous. suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines ending up to something wonderful. very often they're harmful effects and up to something terrible can bill so of all ills. or are we trying to mitigate life itself?

i just think i was like i was just scared scare a little girl of 24. and like i didn't have to be so complicated just ahead of the holiday weekend in the united states, the cdc is telling and vac said americans not to travel for labor day. i didn't even the fully vac said it could be taking a risk that. meanwhile, the european union has dropped the united states from a safe list. that means new restrictions are on the way for american tourist, even if they've already gotten their shots. shoddy, a edward, the da she has the story from london. when it's bad news for those of you that are wanting to seize the last of the european sunsets across the pond, as the united states has now been removed from the use of country american

forest and travel ahead to the european continent, a warranty, or even to say from now the brandy comes is a delta variant is very rampant across the united states. and so many european member states are hosting that doesn't happen here in europe as well. so it really seems like all of this policy is very much dictated by the day to run. we know the private cases in the united states have average now 162000 cases every single day, just last week alone, which is the same kind of sophistic, that we saw back in january with hospitalizations as well, a very high indeed, a 5000 death right over 1200 a day to several consecutive days so that the 6 to the e. u is particularly worried about on surprising them that they're putting in place

some tied to restrictions for american tourist. however, you may not phase one of those tied to restrictions if indeed you are fully vaccinated. but as we know, it's not just the house implications, but there are other implications to a 60000000 americans a year visited europe before this time, demick and pump billions of pounds into the european economy as well. having said, all of that, the united states has yet to reopen its own borders to you, tourism, but it's not just america alone, just to mention also israel cost of a leopard, non montenegro on know if you pay the border restrictions in europe as well. but for the travel industry, all of it is pretty much bad news. it's huge trouble. yes. to get that for the very much all of you, but you hit one of the hardest throughout the whole just in terms of wasting,

to reopen again. but having with the constant rule changes in europe and lines also come out to say that this decision is extremely disappointing for tourism. in general. however, you must rest assured us there is a pipe or american horror. you guys can always come here to the united kingdom because these rules do not apply kevin britain as we know. a the u. k has left the european union, so it's a totally different picture. the only thing is, i can't exactly promise to say your opinion sunset. you may have to even pock your umbrella, but a holiday is a holiday. nonetheless, this is shaggy edwards dash d for news views hughes now while experiencing a slower subscriber growth due to more options on the market. the streaming service, netflix is still valued at over $228000000000.00 spight not being one of the most popular regions in the world. adam sandler, the popular actor writer and film director,

was planning on his film actually being based in china and film there. however, netflix asked him to change the script in the location. so to find out why we bringing so maker and authors, sean. sean, thanks for joining me. you got it. ok, the shot. why not let the water boy come to china? well, according if you believe you know that the, the official narrative. netflix as we know is global. now they have stream, their streaming service is all around the world, including in india, with every country except china is not a country that allows netflix. and i think this has to do with some level to critical control from chinese perspective and also economic financial. because the chinese government, you know, when that netflix quarter them a few years ago, refused, it seems a chinese want to be able to distribute. basically they want to get power for distribution to their own streaming services, right? contenders to netflix much the way there are. there are contenders to facebook for

example and youtube in china. so because netflix is not distributing the china, the presumably they said to saddler, there's no point in basing your film there and we just, we have no reason to, to do it. we're not, we're not making this for a chinese audience. essentially. it's interesting because when you talk about the chinese want to make this to be able to have their own distributions that you have . netflix is no longer just a distributor. as you know, we've talked about this or actually content creators, their producers, they're doing adam sandler sound. so i find a very curious that china thinks, i mean, does this mean that china doesn't want to have any access to netflix and streaming services? because guess what? when i was watching the oscars and emmys a few my without this past year, the majority of them were coming from streaming services. they're original content . sure, sure. i knew netflix also and it was getting into the gaming business in the future . so we understand that that netflix is

a studio in the sense that they produce in original content. but you know, you look at what china is doing. china is not necessarily courting hollywood. in fact, it's difficult. you know, if you're an american producer, there's only so many films that are allowed in china each year. so the chinese are more interested if you ask me logically and financially speaking and controlling the narratives. right. that's why when it comes to allowing up american films in and we seen in the past with complaints from hollywood studios that both back and forth in dues and the chinese basically chinese saying that they're being misrepresented in hollywood. hollywood studios. not wanting to necessarily change things, i'll be forced to change things in the movies to, to placate china. so when you say like the chinese need netflix from their perspective, they're the 2nd largest box office or potentially the biggest box option at the moment. they don't see any need for american films. in fact they're,

they're making, they're producing so much and they get somebody films the biggest films in china or chinese films now. so we're not at a place where it was 20 years ago. and the way the world was waiting for american movies to entertain themselves with, well, and what i find interesting about this is that netflix itself has a lot of chinese films, honest platform. so i find it very odd that netflix, if they really wanted to play ball, they're really not because china could do without netflix. but for some reason netflix can't do without china any reason for this? well, i would argue that netflix strategically is releasing certain chinese films just that they are doing indian turkish because they realized that their global audience includes people from across the ask for we have chinese americans, right? we have many people, you know, from china, in the other regions in america and other countries. right. so i'm sure they will be interested in watching chinese films on netflix platform. so way, netflix means chinese content. china does not necessarily need american content. it

would seem at this point, ok, so from a film producer from directors perspective, when they go into country, whether it's china or any other country, how much control is that film giving over to the government? how much controls those governments ask of films that come within their borders as in this case at china saying if you come over to us, how much control would they be given? yeah, we'll try to do the case. as we know, i mean the overall idea that western countries are more free. there's a reason there is a true to that. when you go, the reason i think netflix without an issue with streaming to china, the china is very much as censorship boards that go over the content. you know, even when you go to produce a fill in china, they will go through the scripts and make sure it can be approved. and this is just to shoot their, let alone to distribute them. so when it comes to netflix, wanting to, for example, the example wanting to shoot to china, they would have serious censorship issues with all the content they're putting out in a weekly basis. and i don't think china could even manage to go through their censorship

for may not be big enough to handle the thousands of movies. documentaries, tv shows right that are coming out every month from netflix. so, you know, it's kind of unique country in that regard. as far as the amount of government official sync official censorship that occurs. i don't think most countries have that, but again, you'd have to go country by country. we look at what protocols norms are. well, and there's something that attracts all these films to actually be they get better attack, continue, whatever it is. it causes majority of films today to not be filmed here in the united states, which i think is quite surprising. people looked into where so their favorite films are actually film that sean, always great to talk to you and that's all for today show. thank you for watching. ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world. the politics sport,

business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me only one main thing is important for not as an internationally speaking, that is a nation's allowed to do anything, all the master races. and then you have the mind, nations who are the slave. the american's rock, obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous go. you man, that wants to take over the world. that was a culture strategy, so the goal will be on your own. i english v i v. i not leashed off in one tablet block nato could it's our we moved east. the reason us had

germany, it's a dangerous is the lie. the sovereignty of the countries, the exceptionalism that america uses in its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is founded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions of millions or is business and businesses good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is faster. i was begging to go to one tunnel because what i've seen and witnessed in background was so destructive to this day. i haven't, i can't sleep in depths investigation into victims of america's brutal war on sarah with a lying drawn by us. pull up my gun. this was some bag form, a ton of detail, the ship horrors that endured.
