12:30 pm
and the united states, the u. s. has agreed to provide more humanitarian aid to the desperately poor afghanistan, people who are on the breed, if not already, and met an economic disaster. their exact numbers are not known of how much the u. s. has committed, but we do know that the e u has pledged 1150000000 and aid during the g 20 virtual meeting. and the united nations is calling on more countries to send age afghanistan, banks on closing and essential services such as l scare. and been suspended in many places. we need to find ways to make the economy, but again, i urge the world to take action and the inject liquidity into the african economy to avoid collapse. so this guy, sabrina dana mcadams, executive director of the ron paul institute. thanks for joining me, daniel ross got it. i mean, come on. now when we were withdrawing our troops, the chaos that was going on. do you think anybody actually expected the us to just
12:31 pm
stop once our troops are gone, that we were not a noun form going to be giving taxpayer dollars in afghanistan for a very long time? well, the thing is scary. that aid is power and control. it really has very little to do with humanitarian concerns. the u. s. is desperate to get back into afghanistan in one way or another. and in fact, over the weekend, the talks in doha were attended by u. s. government officials, including the us intelligence community, the cia is desperate to get back into the dentist and in a big way. and so aid is one way that you can work your way in work your way back in with 8 of course comes administrators and others. so it really is an attempt to regain power that's been lost now that the u. s. is less against him. and so i might even say that actually is more powerful than actual manpower on the ground. but here's the thing with this. it is going around just talking about pencils and bottles of water. there's actually a, comes in a wide variety of forms. also can come in cash can also be an option. and yet time
12:32 pm
and time again, we find daniel, that america does not put any checks and balances into where the this aid is going to just disappears. so is there actually anything that could be in place to make sure that the aid was put in the hands of people as what had been promised and not just use exclusively by the taliban? and in some cases, we found back against the united states. well, as doctor paul is always said, a is taking money from 4 people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries. and while the tele bye might not be rich, they certainly have their hands on plenty of access to the states. riches. what little there may be left, but you know, all money is fungible. all aid is fungible. the money that the us will give the column on to for humanitarian aid is money. they don't have to spend doing other things. so again, it really is not as related to human tearing concerns as it is to the u. s. desire to somehow somehow get back in control and that is a do that kind of under the cover that,
12:33 pm
that we find that so many times is allocated by congress and part of the part of part of the budget maybe and make them sleep better. but we know that it's actually going right back in the hands of contractors and large companies that have ties back to the states. it's kind of like a hamster will a fine, you know, here's my thought in this. when are we already going to see that already started the cia once a chunk of the pie? is there other groups right now that are already counted on this aid happening? and maybe that's why they were so quick to withdraw the way they did. that's really a great point that you make, scotty and that a, the us spends overseas military age you've mandatory in a, whatever it may be. is that you just welfare for well connected companies here in the us. it's welfare for the big defense manufacturers for a humanitarianism inc, and all sorts of companies and n g o like this. so you are absolutely right. the money doesn't really go to the people who need it most. if the us really care about the well being of the average, ask any person it would simply stay the hell away from the country forever. because we've done enough the screw up the country over the past 20 years,
12:34 pm
given the money back that we have frozen in their accounts. let them deal with their own way. let them get about rebuilding their country on their own and just leave them be well in these debates, chang, usaa saying, look, wasted strong. we're not actually relinquishing their bank accounts. we're not on freezing them. we're not actually taking away any of the, the rules and that we've put on them to this point. so as the u. s. actually standing strong as of now and you expect to continue. i think the us believes it has more insulin stuff can ascend that actually does the worst case scenario for the taliban running? it's going to stand right now is us says, hey, if you don't have a more diverse government, you know, get your money back. in which case the tolerance is okay, that's fine. we'll make a deal with china. it's not going to be free money like it might be, quote, unquote, from the us. but they know that the chinese, for example, aren't supporting terrorism. and that can stand in the u. s. does have ties to some of the essence groups. the weaker is the weaker of fellow who just mom to a couple of days ago. his group was taken off,
12:35 pm
the terrorists lists why the trust administration. so they'll know that they're dealing with a partner in china, for example, that wants to do business rather than wants to control. so i think the total of on or holding a lot more cards in their hand in the us right now. and here's what's amazing talking about a you look at, i can see why the reason why we were there in the 1st place is because it had so much money and had so much natural resources as minerals are still valuable. and yet they're looking to us for money when they might even have it in their own back yard. daniel, always great to chat with you. thanks. got it. okay. so when the battle looks lost, is it better to just give up, walk away, or stay and fight, hoping for something to improve. ideally, if anyone is going to stay and fight a lost cause, i would hope it would be someone who works. maybe at the pentagon, especially if they were insecurity and technology, or one guy who does stay and work hard even when it gets to that schedule has been squandered, joins us now with a story that sound like a this man as a hero. while others might look at him as kind of a coward. yeah,
12:36 pm
absolutely. so who is nicholas challenge chilly in and out? why did he quit? so he was the pentagon's chief software guy, right. he's in charge of all the software at the pentagon. their 1st software chief, and he's now quit, essentially saying, look, the u. s. a so far behind china in terms of a development that will never catch up. we're a kindergarten level. they're playing in the big leagues and so he's angry. he says that the u. s. didn't do enough to invest in a i spent too much time investing in bureaucracy. i would actually agree with that point. but i don't agree with the point that he's making, which is that he says, essentially the u. s. should a more a i technology develop that with the pentagon more and now we're behind. and so we're going to lose. we've already lost. he says the battle to check here when he's, sorry, i technologies any more monitoring more things or robots actually can see what everybody's doing. it's the control of information. so i system so he refers to it as you know, media. he says, in the future, all media is going to be dominated by china, because they'll be able to control ai, which there's, there's some truth to this idea, right? that ai is able to do this. but here's one thing. i take huge exception too. is
12:37 pm
that what, what this guy is essentially saying is that the us should have spent more time doing this instead of debating the ethics of his words. he says the u. s. been too much time worrying about the ethics of a i. that is absolutely not true. ethics of ai is so critically important and i'm gonna tell you there are 2 groups cuz one thing that he's not telling us the truth about is that in the united states, it's not the pentagon that's making the investments into a i that's true, but someone is silicon valley is right, so google and microsoft and amazon massive companies that are split out. spinning the pentagon, by the way, on the development of ai that is taking place every single day. the pentagon hasn't spent the money on it because depending on doesn't want to develop it. instead they want to go contract with companies like amazon and companies like microsoft and google, who will then utilize their ai services on behalf of the pentagon. and then you don't have this kind of sticky ethical issue. so he completely ignores that part of it as if there's only 2 entities, china and the united states government, it's not,
12:38 pm
it's china and silicon valley that are battling to that well. and is it more security though to have private corporations going to that sort of research or the government? neither one is necessarily welcome per se, but do one of them is someone that controls your daily life. so i would say both, right? i would say the problem is the actually the unholy alliance of what we have right now is the worst possible combination, which is all of the vast power of silicon valley coupled with the authority of the u. s. government. but there's no accountability on the side of silicon valley. the accountability that's on the government. well, they don't have folks. they say we're not developing any of this, right? that some private company that's doing it. we have, we have created a leviathan. we've created a monster that is able to run a muck and do whatever it wants to do and we have no control over it. so while, while this pentagon chief, he's getting a lot of this, you know, security software guy, seen a lot of attention today, never though, look, here's the problem. china is more advanced and we are china, maybe more advanced. i'm not sure they're more advanced and silicon valley, are they more advanced than the pentagon? yes. but what he's not talking about is there has to be in this cold war,
12:39 pm
nuclear race, excuse, excuse me, for, for running for a technology. right. at some point we have to sit down and say, where are the ethical lines that have to be drawn? what are the rights of people in this? china is never going to have that discussion. we should be having that discussion here. not rushing to create a i as fast as we can, but that's the question. if we have it here in the united states, but not the rest of the world, does it put that people, does it make the usb even weaker? that's our own government find we were for our own government, but what about foreign enemies might come in? well yeah, i listen. i'm not sure a necessarily protects us against that. i'm not sure. a, i protects us in any ways. you know, think about this, that the creation of the i phone right in what? 2007, right. when the iphone comes along, all of a sudden the world changed forever like, vastly changed because the smartphone came along and it transferred everything. and the problem is that we didn't spend much time as a society debating, is it good? now, there are a lot of good things that come out of a smartphone, but we also know there's
12:40 pm
a lot of bad things that are coming smartphones. and so we don't have that debate, i think what is lacking in this a discussion is just because you can create this technology. and just because the technology can be used for lots of good things, should we have it. and what are the restraints that we put on it? this is a sorely lacking discussion. when it comes to a i and ultimately, you know, you watch every movie about this, right? it always turns out badly. you give a never go. and i think that's where we're headed. i don't think we're necessarily headed to we're a terminator conclusion, but we are headed down a very rough road. if we believe it's okay to just push ai on the boundaries as far as we can without also wayne, the moral and ethical obligations and the difference between public versus private and you're actually has that power in that access. the information would be real interesting to see who this guy goes to actually next employer. i think that might be more behind this and you have it's always money and always come behind money. always good to talk to ben, courtesy in studio. he's got to the port of savannah and georgia is overwhelmed
12:41 pm
with shipping containers. as the supply chain crisis continues. there are tens of thousands of containers stacked up on the dock and other side of possible supply chain crisis coming in the next few months. tre. chavez has this story. when coven 19 forced to many businesses and operations to shut down the supply chain shut down to. and after falling shipping demand in the 1st half of 2020, a search at the end of that year lead to delays port traffic jams and blockages across the supply chain. the port of savannah, like other ports around the u. s. as approaching a crisis point to day and the port of savannah at full capacity, overwhelmed with nearly $80000.00 shipping containers stacked up on the docks, that's 50 percent more than normal. according to the new york times, about $700.00 containers have been left there for a month or more. in september, 4500 containers sat in the port for weeks waiting to be collected by the trucks or boats that take them to their next destination. and in california officials,

12:46 pm

12:48 pm
the mayor is not hosting of the amazing record and granting more freedom to our constituents. so let's get the $360.00 to you and bring it to dc residential brief . everson attorney and founder of the blood project. and conservative commentator malik abdul, thanks for joining me. anything read, you know, at this point i'm bringing you on on that bring you on for political views, but this is actually just about everyday life. and i think this is what a lot of people in major cities, not only in the united states but around the world, are having to do with their scratching their heads. going great numbers. you know, you're seeing these cova desco down. you're seeing the coven numbers go. vaccination rates go high, and yet restrictions are still in place. molina, let me start with you. less than a dozen desk by cove. in 1000 record. in the last month there was actually more shootings, industry people injured and actually killed by drive by shootings in the streets, and then what died of coded. so why is the mayor not only praising herself and her city, but more importantly, lifting the restrictions?
12:49 pm
if so, i think a lot of it has to do with politics and performative politics. i bet i think the mayor and maybe mayors and governors around the country. they found a box themselves in because we were told that, you know, the only thing that we had to do is get double trunk out of office. and once we got donald trump out of office, then somehow cope it was miraculously disappear. what we're seeing now, even with a nicer joe biden and joe biden, who doesn't have those neat tweets. our numbers haven't gotten better. we were also told that if we could get to that 70 percent number, then things would actually be better. we would also, so that the idea of beauty, you know, we're not even discussing her new the be anymore, but i think there may are that spots to result in a cause she's actually told so closely to the line that somehow formative politics should replace science and i'm here until business owners all across the city are jim definitely are suffering in respect to areas like maryland and virginia are
12:50 pm
businesses actually are suffering and so there is no science, the grease and why the mayor is continuing with these restrictions outside of the politics and there may be, you know, financial institutes well, and that's the one i wanna talk about that financial incentive. but also for small business, reese, you walk around downtown d. c after 7 pm. it is a ghost town. businesses are closed, you have to order and food from outside of downtown. when you want to do that, do you think the business community will have enough power at some point say, listen, we need to open up and get this actually back down or is totally a ghost town from where the thriving place that it was 2 years ago what i do know for a fact is that it is very interesting times in downtown d. c, especially during the colder months having to you know, order out or even sit outside in 20 degrees, wearing a coat under a heat lamp, and trying to cut your food wearing a coat. so that's a very uncomfortable situation to not be able to do indoor dining at the same time,
12:51 pm
we do have to consider the fact that last year we were, you know, contemplating what things would half what things would be like during flu season. and so knowing that we're gearing up for foods these and again, i think that's just an added precaution, that the mirror is trying to take. and then also realizing that it's not just about the economics of the business community, but also the people, the people have been hit hard by this devastation. people have lost their jobs or not been able to get back to work and issues with child care. and so there are things that they're funding with this when you talk about the economic incentive such programs like stay d. c, which help people with rent or grants that help small micro businesses who are trying to catch up due to what cove it has done to their businesses. and so there are programs that extend beyond just the, you know, day to day business owners that you can see in the business owners that you can't see. and a lot of people are taking the economic hit. and so it's not just the the coven in
12:52 pm
the pandemic. it's also financial incentives because people have been financially hurt by this crisis. well, and how much is the guy read helping, or are they hurting downtown business malik? on these issue when it comes to this at the present. well if you look at the numbers, i think job as of the spring, maybe about 300 or so. business is $200.00 of which have permanently closed it because there were another 100 or so that weren't temporarily. club was now dead is something that we're not just dealing with in dc. we're dealing with it all around the country. but i used as far as our school was, particularly here on my side of the river river anacostia area. there has been a huge concern about what has the city done leading up to this recent school year because we had schools that were essentially close for most of their school year. but now they're dealing with the same problems with co infections, worst schools, literally around to florida for me, where i'd volunteer those schools were having to close down because this,
12:53 pm
this school district itself, the city did not do enough with the funds that they were given by the federal government to really beat up the operations at the school. so reese is actually right. it actually goes beyond just how it affects the business community. we're seeing a real time that the schools are still being affected by this. so i do it, you know, maybe in the community are really asking the question, what is it that the city did to prepare our schools and areas like warranty, dc and board 7, dc. what did the city do with that number in preparing our schools? it's a big concern and i know that across the board in a, in a city that have been with democrat, this is dip residents of the city are really concerned about and, and race. i just want to give you this last word on this. because if you look at it, yes, the numbers are looking really good. the vaccination numbers are looking good, unfortunate. we're still hearing rumors of possibly another way that might come through the very it might come through. do you think with our numbers being good and still being, having to be under this that people are,
12:54 pm
might ignore in the future. it's kind of like them. and i say wolf because there was definitely a mom in there. do you think this could actually have a negative effect in the future? if there is another round of the spend demik? not really and, and here's the reason. yes, people are tired of being in the house. we're tired of wearing mass. people are tired of taking precautions, but at the same time, people are still losing loved ones. and that's a very real concern. people are still finding, you know, going to the hospital and, and being intubated because of this desire virus. so the truth of the matter is, is still deadly, and that more importantly, we know that there are other strains that are coming, lambda and other things that are, you know, in the pipeline and heating other places in the world. and so we keep our eyes open, we're only prudent if we take precaution knowing what's coming down the pipeline. and so if that's the case, we have to start figuring how to prepare ourselves. we, we can't be too cautious at this point. in recycling,
12:55 pm
we're going to have to kind of bear it a little longer. i race mike, always a great conversation and we'll see. i said 2020 to the mayor just extended thanks for joining me. and that's all the time we are for today show. but i promise is a conversation which we will continue to follow me on twitter at study and using hash tag team and vh over the share, more dell or the portable doubt to be at for your ab learned or device. thanks for watching. ah mm. these people learn from their own experience, how vulnerable of business is to the bank. so you push my business of the, it pushes me right to the bankruptcy. now i realize we will do this isn't just with being involved in this is the concept. see, firms is, is the lawyers,
