2:30 pm
to support, but generally speaking, this smart voting tactic, news, cynical, and a lot of people in their position like rewarding evidence key, did not support this deck. and what did we get now? we have the german press saying that i'm quoting, you know, for the sky is dance into the pipe of the kremlin. so simply because the criticized the whole idea of smart voting. and he said that no, but when it was not his hero was not the person he would like to see as the leader of russia. then coming back to this issue of the western support for nevada and for the regular position in general. well, when you have in google and facebook app stores, you know, when you have the navarro any you know, imagine if in the united states, russian companies had a new vice that would allow vote us in the united states to find out
2:31 pm
how russia would like them to vote, that will be a huge scandal. you know, we all remember russian gauge was i think it was a torture for american viewers for at least 2 and a half years until april, 2020. when basically mr. miller, mr. miller acknowledge that there was no confusion, but we have evidence of western total support from the radical position in russia. you're just have to read the newspapers in the west. not rushing. yes, i was interested to get you on the other foot to get some context. i really appreciate your input to my guest dmitri babich political analyst. and we are going to wrap it up from our election headquarters here for the fat dates coming away in just 30 minutes of to see in the,
2:32 pm
the brands in the back trying to call the deal extremely irresponsible and narrow minded president biden. and his foreign policy has once again generated attention with one of our allies, while motivating an adversary to take action against even more. who will bring you the world's reaction, as well as how china might potentially respond to the new deal. and ukraine might be the new home for the us army iron down. but what does that mean for us? russian relations going forward. we will explain. and in washington, dc, bigger possi is putting up her own iron down in preparation for a raleigh in support of the january. 6 protesters have been arrested. we will have a report from the capitol as well as look at all of the measures the capitol hill police are taking to ensure there will not be a repeat of the events of january sick. i'm going to use these stories and more on
2:33 pm
today's news. you use right here on our t america. let's get started. ah, well, a day later we are now starting to find out the details behind the surprise announcement regarding the new alliance between the united states, the u. k and australia. now the deal is for the u. s to sell nuclear submarine technology from the u. k. and the u. s. they all came together at the g summit street 7 summit earlier this summer in june. now this would be the 1st nuclear powered submarine acquired by australia in fear of the growing military strength in china. now, originally the antenna was for australia to buy 12 diesel powered subs at a cost of $90000000000.00 from france. so as you can imagine, the french were not happy at the loss of the projected revenue. and the foreign ministry of china had this to say, may war us the u. k. and australia,
2:34 pm
cooperation unit, nuclear submarine yearly damages, regional peace and stability arjun intensifies the arms rates and jeopardizes of the international efforts and promoting for the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons . us a new case action of exporting highly sensitive nuclear submarine technology. once again, they are using nuclear export tool for political games and adapts double standard. this is a highly responsible to go to, but china dismay was countered by taiwan and japan, who are jove, joyful at the new partnership, saying it provides a additional security for the south china sea region, or to show it to ben sky is in paris and has more of the reaction from the french capital. this was like a knife in the back. so you can imagine what people are saying behind do the reaction he is. you re, theory even on the forum. and it's also saying this is not what i like. do you treat each other? and essentially this is something that he would have expected from the trumpet
2:35 pm
administration. not saying that he didn't expect this from the biden ministration, but i think you can read between the lines that the armed forces minutes. the hearing problems also said that this would have consequences for politics and international relationships. and this is all over the fact that austria has not canceled that mole tree tens of billions of dollars worth of a deal with fraud to build a submarine fleet instead, shimming up to the us and deciding to opt for the nuclear submarine. please. if you think that europe at the moment is just reeling from the idea that the us with ritz troops must chemist on without even bothering to let them know what it was doing, the time scale, it was doing that too. and over the last few weeks we have seen so many you ministers, politicians, leaders even suggesting the europe needs to do is to have more strategical told me that means kind of pull it away. you back from the united states. it felt like it
2:36 pm
was left in the deep and are gonna stand. coupled with this, the realization is that perhaps america is not the part that it thought it should be under biden, after the trump era. so discuss his new development and what it means for the future. us partnership to bring in for naval entail intelligence officer, john georgia. and john, thanks for joining me on some 1st. i just want to ask you this idea that this is something that the french president thought under trumpet. you know that this is of the trump would do. did trump ever do anything like this, where you actually sold out his ally and went behind his back and sold it to another country to make money for his own country? well, i don't think this is about making money for the united states this and there are several parties to this industry is one, but no trump didn't do that old truck did. by the way the europeans were equally unhappy with him. when trump insisted that year, the europeans, including the french germans, the english, english and, and others live up to their obligations under the north atlantic treaty in terms of
2:37 pm
their defense expenditures, which they hadn't in the u. s. had basically made up for that was subsidizing europe sooner. they didn't like trump for that. in this case, it's still deciding that they need a different system. diesel electric submarines like the french french. we are selling our short range. they have the surface every few, every day or so to recharge their batteries and their real tactical limitations. and there's also, they're also not able to operate unsupported over long distances. in this case, the australian rail, as troy navy made the determination that they needed a platform that could operate further north, that could protect destroyers interests more than a few 100 miles just off shore that could operate cooperatively with taiwan with japan and with the united states so this is much more a decision by australia than anything else. remember, australia is the customer. and the u. s. in the u. k. decided that they were going to sell the technology, which in this case is not merely just reactors, but the propeller design generators,
2:38 pm
electrical systems. and most importantly of all, the acoustic protections, the ability to keep the submarine silent, and a nuclear submarine can basically submerge and stay submerged from the 2 or 3 months. let us submarines to limited only by food and crew insurance. does electric submarine. so again, they have to pop up to the surface and recharge the batteries and are unable operate, unsupported for long distance is a long times. so this is really decision by the australians. ok, so i get that. so maybe they did a better product for what they were looking for. i can understand that. but why do you think there is so much contention coming from france and the situation? do you think that the french were given a heads out that this was going to be coming down or did they find out mainly by just turning on their television and seeing the announcement between the 3 leaders? well, who knows? i mean, you know, the french are famous for their flair for the dramatic and maybe they did get a heads up. maybe they didn't. but even if they didn't get a heads up, they're going to want to act like the aggrieved party because who wouldn't, they're the, they had a $90000000000.00 contract that they're not going to get that's a lot of money as
2:39 pm
a lot of money for france lot of workers in france are going to be impacted by that the front president micron has to look good domestically and has to look sufficiently outraged because there's going to be domestic political fall inside of france over this. so. so $11.00 can understand why the french are upset, but it's not clear whether not, they had a heads up well and that's the bigger picture. this is the relationship with native right now obviously there's a lot of questions about the trust that other companies can have in the or other countries can have relying on the united states. but moves like this. do you think other countries are looking a way to make this? is your alley, this is your nato ally. will this have an effect on nato partnerships? do you believe moving forward or will they always go? well, is america going to do to us? but we feel like they would, at least on the surface did to france. well, it's a great question. i mean, certainly us credibility was hugely damaged with friend and foe alike with the manner and timing of our withdrawal from afghanistan. however,
2:40 pm
the world is not all blacks and whites, there's very so shades of gray where most of the world world events happen this. and this is such a case here. remember as the royal australian navy that decided they wanted the nuclear submarines running the diesel electric summary, there wasn't a unilateral us decision interior. france is not part of the military alliance of native for the political nato lines. charles de gaulle pulled france out of the military alliance right after world war 2. so are people going to see this being an example of the u. s. perfectly probably not, because the australians again, are the customer party and the u. s. is merely and the care merely vendors. the nato was still going to look and wait and see where us actions and match up with us words. but i think in the final analysis, what's really going to matter is how well the u. s. and how consistent the u. s. is in defending its nato allies, whether it's a eastern europe or our allies in asia with regard to china or allies in the middle
2:41 pm
east. if the u. s. starts to falter in any one of those places. that would be the probably, maybe the death knell of us credibility for quite some time. well, and i think that's what the question is up there right now. like i said, it's just because we've gone through the last 6 weeks before i let you go, you know, australia says they're doing this because they believe that china could possibly be aggressive to them and they want to be prepared. but are we seeing currently at least in the present, any signs of aggression against australia, specifically by china? any threats? well right now, what you have is it, it's your, your rating, bilateral chinese australian relationship comp, camera and beijing has been in a very strange but very intense trade conflict. now for a couple of years, china has made very clear that it intends to expand its sphere influence most south and to the east. australia is naturally concerned by this because their relative geologic jo, geographic isolation from the united states. so it's julia is more or less looking
2:42 pm
forward. what we're looking forward in time and wants to be able to have the defense the systems necessary to protect its interests and it feels that these nuclear power submarines are far, far more able to do so. the diesel electric ones, but the time to the conflict between china and australia is ongoing. it's unbelief . the surface is certainly in the western media, but it's very much there and the australians and feel very isolated. well, it will be very interesting to see how this continues and conversations do happen again. between the united states and french, how that will go, maybe that is just to make up the french way, rejoining me while other countries in recent months, my feel actually a little insecure about their relationship with the united states. ukraine has nothing to worry about. since taking office, the vita ministration has made her to consistently continue the shipments of weapons and training to do cranium, military, including more than $275000000.00 worth of support and equipment. but some members
2:43 pm
of congress, they want to do more and they have attached to the 2022 defense bill. a provision which would sell or just transfer the new air and missile defense system to ukraine . this would include the iron don't battery, currently operated by the u. s. army. so to discuss why this is on the table, we actually bring in former pentagon official micro mal, if michael sure can scratching my head because right now it seems like we're taking up every single ally that we can. and yet congress isn't so motivated right now. some members of them are so motivated to be loyal to ukraine. why do you think this is what we've been so disloyal to our other allies over the past few months? well, what we're going to do, let's do it right, but just upset everybody. and, but i think it's seriously, it's more aimed at anti russian thinking you've got the neo cons and within the bind, the ministration that are still pushing to move nato up to the up to the federation
2:44 pm
. and they haven't ceased. and in this comes despite the fact that even our allies in the, in the post f can period now or even wondering about our commitments, the nato. so i think the united states is think it still thinks it in a leadership role. but, but you got the allies and everybody and the rest of the world scratching their heads above commitment from the u. s. on anything any more. i think the ukrainians love it. they, they love getting the whatever attention they can out of washington and, but it's it, but the question will be, what will be that commitment even to the ukrainians and the end, given the track record of the by the administration. i think it's something that even the ukrainians are going to have to be a little concerned about. as for the iron don't it's
2:45 pm
a nice advanced system. but it, it, it may not work all that well in that environment, because where it was whereas to be placed in the eastern part of the, of the ukraine. and that, that doesn't lend itself for the type of, of air defense system that this is, isn't more of a longer range defense system. and it would, you would need a shorter range defense system in that area. but, you know, the members of congress are just on a spending spree, so they'll, they'll spend money on anything, notwithstanding, what the commitment, some i, what the capabilities might be and the need and other or other assistance would be more effective if, if the by ministration is going that route, but iron dome given its performance recently by the israel is against the palestinian rockets. they think it's the best thing since sliced bread was
2:46 pm
interesting. miko because, you know, earlier this summer you saw the ukraine was hinting, i said i will buy it. now of a sudden you have years, congress or, you know, well actually just give it to you. it's very interesting relationship, but that goes, it's not just with this administration continuously, whether you're talking about bite and trump obama, even back to which there's always money going to ukraine from the united states. more than a lot of other countries in the country that gets a lot of focus more than other countries the world. so what is the united states gain a more importantly, it's usually their politicians gain by sending support to ukraine. but i think it's because of its anti russian position, that that's all about it. that's basically yet. plus you have nato try and doing increasing its military exercise with a non nato country in an area that we don't belong in. and it's really in russia sphere of influence and, and, and it's meant to propagate it's, it's, it's, it's
2:47 pm
a provocative thing. and if you, if you recall that victoria newland was right up there involved in the coo that brought down the previous government there. even though it was supportive of russia, but she's now the under secretary of state for political affairs and she, she then they're constantly pushing that near con, that narrative, as well as her husband, who was robert kagan and he is the near cons near time. so, and their whole idea is to push nato to the break of the, or to the, to the border of the federation. and if they can, they're going to do wherever, wherever they can. but these countries are going to have to reevaluate and reassess u. s. commitment on anything at this point, and you could put money into the, into the ukraine it's, it's just, it's just means that russia is going to put in counter systems that are going to be
2:48 pm
just as effective, if not more so. and there's just so much money to be spent in analysis and assessment needs to be made on, on just how, how important we need to continue doing all this. well, megan, what the actual, dangerous, and how much just because we have our equipment over there in the region. if that means the united states actually has it, that's the same as a saying, we're going to fight with you. if it comes to point that you have to use the equipment in real quick, i've got to let you go on to some. but my other thought that i do have to ask you, is this more about making sure that nato gets involved in ukraine? is that why ukraine's reaching out right now? encouraging yes, in the nato, ukraine will not be able to join nato. the members of nato are, are against that. the same with georgia. we had just in 2008 when we did military maneuvers and in georgia. we had just left when the russians came on, came on in. that just shows you the extent of us engagement with and commitment
2:49 pm
to, to the fence of georgia. and that's the same will apply to ukraine. well, and i want to continue this conversation like always michael, thank you for setting in some light on this situation. sure. coming up, we will have a report from the capital and a look at all the measures that capitol hill police are taking to ensure there will not be a repeat of the events that we saw in january 6 state to join me every thursday on the alex silent show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm . the i use
2:50 pm
ah, it was taken down months ago and now it's back up to fencing around the nation's capital has returned at the report of a right winged rally scheduled for september 18th. that's this saturday. started making the rounds online. while it's still unclear how many plans to actually come to dc to attend to the rally, place, we're not going to take any chances this time. and lawmakers continue to point the fingers as to who's responsible for the events of january 6 are to foreign projects, shows us what it looks like actually at the capital. and will we see this every time? there is a raleigh particularly if it's a right wing rally the perceived threat that put back up the fencing around the
2:51 pm
capital. is the justice for j. 6 rally on the west lawn saturday, september 18th. this is a little bit of a smaller offense than what we had seen before. kind of the inner perimeters, the rally as the support from $600.00 defendants imprisoned for their participation at the january 6th riots at the capital. simultaneous j 6 rallies are expected in 13 other locations around the country. when it comes to washington, d. c. one rally organizer, a former trump 2016 campaign employee, because they expect around 700 people to attend. the police force decision to resurrect the fence was announced monday after presenting a classified briefing. the capitol police chief saying the fence will go up a day or 2 before the rally and will come down soon after. if all goes planned, we know that the capital police have equipment on loan from the department of defense, special surveillance equipment that they had requested months ago. that is just now
2:52 pm
arrived at the capital, which is likely to be used for saturdays rally as well. just extra eyes, years for police to be watching. the original fencing was put up after the january 6 riot. along with 26000 troops deployed to the capital. a barbed wire fence was then installed around the capital, which costs $50000000.00 to install. originally slated to be up till this fall. the fences were taken down in july after law maker said it was making their accessibility to and from work inconvenient the weekends rally will present law enforcement officials with the 1st a large scale secure, ready to us to the capital since january capital police. note that since then, the agency has improves training install a new emergency response plan, added additional equipment, launched a department wide operation planning process and have met regarding saturdays event for the last month. congress is not slated to be in session saturday,
2:53 pm
but the national guard has been called back to guard the capital over the weekend, as lawmakers will then return monday morning. we want to return the capital to a place where people can come. children can learn. families can celebrate together the greatness of our country, the new protective barrier, even if only temporary brings the argument. is congress once again walling itself off above and apart from the people it represents well that perception further widened the distrust between the government and the people. and the more expensive question will a new fence be reinstalled every time a planned rally threatens potential violence against congress for news vs hughes? i'm fair in front back. for more of the situation, we are drained by a martin, president of the shapely ego form someone that played a small role in the original planning. but really just, you know, he was there on january 6, all the events that happened. but he was actually
2:54 pm
a part of the peaceful rally that was before when to the cap. i was just and i thank you for joining me on this. i've welcome. i'm a little frustrated. i got up this morning and i actually went out there about 7 am and i wanted to see what i'm calling nancy's play pin. and i didn't do any fences. i saw. they say they're at the corners, but it's nowhere near to what i experience last spring when i was walking around. so is this a little excessive, considering even the organizers they're saying, there's not going to be that many people here. yeah, of course. look, this is all done as theater, it's political theater. in this case, it's political theater to try to hammer home that the political prisoners that are in the jails in d. c. held without proper hearings without the right kind of due process. all this time, the people that were there in january 6, anyone broke the law, i'm all for enforcing the law. but i tell you this if you are rioting in the big cities in america last year, most of those people were let loose. they never had anything charged against them. so this is all done. she did this after january 6th, to masterful effect,
2:55 pm
the media, the mainstream media, the fake news media plays along all these images. all the spear book congress isn't then. it's is an obsession on saturday. if the capital police can't control something when there's no one in in session, i mean this is just all done for theater. i do think it's the worst kind of political theatre. and i think the fact that polosa gets away with that and isn't called out on it is extraordinary, and the world is watching. that's the problem, scotty. the world is watching and saying, this is pathetic area thinking, it's pathetic because there's not a real threat or they're thinking, wow, america must be under siege. and that's a lie from the f b i from the capital police from anybody that's looked at this. that was a lie, it is a lie and it will be a lie tomorrow. what is our causes right? to peacefully protests and that's one of the things that guarantee to every american and they forget that. so, i mean, unless there's a credible threat, even though you hear once you get a non sources popping in. and i just ask you though, in the various different groups that you belong to are who is actually promoting
2:56 pm
this raleigh who is behind it, who is advocating or do you know people that are coming on saturday? are you seeing any organizations that your organization knows of that is saying, hey guys, everybody come to d. c. sort of like what we did see back in december amongst a lot of church and other conservative groups. as to perfect questions, scotty, when they say, oh my gosh, is a big organization. as you mentioned, after november, 3rd, i was involved in grassroots organizing in the 3 events such a place, including january 6 peaceful protesters. people coming. i've heard of no on saying they're coming for this. i've heard no group promoting and i've heard no one say that they're agitated about it. nothing. and i'm dealing with faculty families of those that are political prisoners right now. i know what's going on. again, this is engineer by the biden pelosi regime to get the kind of sympathetic images in their mind of the country under assault. and to talk more about this, it's, it really, again, is the worst kind of political theatre. and it's a kind of betrayal of the american public and the biggest problem, scotty is other than you asking that question. most of the media is playing along,
2:57 pm
including the conservatives. so showing the images and saying, oh my gosh, they've got a wall this off. it's so terrible and terrifying. it's it again, as you point out, there won't be anyone there the people that were be there, they'll be a few people. they'll cherry pick the weirdest and worst and have them on tv and say, look at this, this guy's got a swastika and his cousins yard. isn't this terrible? it's nonsense. it's insulting. and it's degrading our republic in front of our eyes . well, and talking about political theatre real quick, a 30 seconds. it just came down that michael sussman has he was a, it was just indicted by as a cyber security attorney saying that he lied. and john durham is actually going to go after that. he lied to congress, say that there was a meeting between the trump organization and russia make that was a lie. is there anything that is going to come out of that political theater yet? yes, of course. what we're going to do, hopefully get to the bottom because there's more lying by political players, and then we have to hold them accountable. so we need more indictments, and let's get it out into the open. if he says he didn't lie,
2:58 pm
put him under oath. and let's hear what he has to say, because the russia, russia, russia hoax was a lie. the find people hoax was why the january 6 was a lie, it goes on and on, on old, on right below she and the left. by the way, political agenda meant to accomplish their own narrative. thank you so much for joining me on this. well, that's all the time we have a show, but i promise this is a conversation which you can you follow me on twitter as got it in use. here's the hash tag team and the h british on more down the portable tv app for android device. thanks for watching the news . in the 1920s infinities several 100 african americans move to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. law, never to be truthful. nice things in us.
