yeah, but i think you cannot do that in the absence of having china participate, but do you think germany should boycott nordstrom do i do i make a mistake? sure. i think work. i think it's a mistake to become strategically dependent on any, on any particular source. of energy and this is something that ronald reagan warren to europe about in the $198.00. that's it for one of your favorite shows of last season will be back on wednesday, the 12th of january. but until then stay safe. and you can watch all our interviews by subscribing to our youtube channel and falling us on all our social media. ah, police dogs and band phones are deployed against anti lockdown demonstrators in amsterdam, the cities man. i gave the order to break up the 1000 strong, illegal relic with kobe, casey steadily searching. we look at our big farm,

has managed to benefit from the pandemic throughout 2021 from a power supply crunch. and reco, my content looks the soaring inflation and an all time high on the side break. we look at walk late, 2021. very difficult, yet the united states. and also on the way, 19 years had months and $25.00 days on, which is american legacy. and he looked back at one of the defining moments of last year, the disastrous us withdrawal from afghanistan. the brought the country to the brink with good morning to you are a pleasure to have your company here, t international 1st for you, the salad cove. it cases, they are soaring across european nations. daily, new infection rates of breaking all time records. france is leading the way they

reported more than 200000 cases for a 4th day in a row. meanwhile, governments regain imposing harsh restrictions, especially on those who are not vaccinated. and it sparked a lot of anger and amsterdam, people went to the streets to protest against the lockdown. and they clash with the police is dogs and buttons to break up the legal protest. ah ah ah 1000 people, as you saw, their rallying in the dutch capital on sunday, defying a ban amidst the corona virus lockdown measures that have been in place in the netherlands for the last few weeks are the right places you saw there with their

battens and their shields were trying to break up the crowds who had gathered in amsterdam to show. ringback their continued anger against the restrictions that are in place and also against vaccines that the local government, which had allured this particular gathering, had also issued an emergency ordinance which gave the police the right to head into the central museum square. and to clear those protesters from that, but to despite that protest is turned out regardless. now the netherlands has been in this extended lockdown hour since december 19th. and as a result of that, restaurants a shot and all non essential shops are also shut. and that's going to take place and continue going on until at least the middle of the month of january, public gatherings. as part of these restrictions means that no more than 2 individuals can gather at the same time together. so this protest was clearly

outside of the, the block. it's absolutely against those cart measures. but despite that, we saw this chaotic scenes in amsterdam as the police and those protest as were clashing something we have seen elsewhere to know across europe. there is, is concerned that yes, we're heading into 2022. it's yes. many people only think this is the time for fresh opportunities, a fresh chance. but there are many people who really fear that the fresh restrictions that are coming in to force mean this will be essentially another groundhog here. as the authorities continue to try and grapple with the virus. just to give you an example here in france, there are new restrictions coming in to force. it includes a panel eating and drinking on long distance trains and also a requirement now for children as young as 6 to wear a mosque. meanwhile, those who remain unvaccinated, there is some really bad news. the national assembly is going to continue debating

this week a new law that would essentially curb the liberties of those who remain and vaccinated further antigen or p c r. u will not be allowed into bars, restaurants, et cetera. and you can imagine that that is going to cause a lot of consternation here in france, where around 10 percent of the population remains unvaccinated. there is anger, here to resort with the new year's eve where there should have been celebrations. there were abandoned fireworks on the shoulder elisa and cools the muted festivities. but in, despite that they were crowds. the burst on to the shoals, elisa, causing problems for the police there and across the country we saw a much lamented new year's tradition making a big come back. this is the burning and torching of cars. almost 900 vehicles were burned on new years. eve is part of that. now there was also, i'm to,

that's been felt in germany to with violent riots in some cities, including a in one where there were clashes between the police and protest. is there something we seem to be seen quite a lot of in europe at the moment, the protesters setting up barricades, but then even set those a light? now all of this comes amidst another rim milestone. the pandemic shows that there have been over a 100000000 cases of cove it a positive cases that have been quoted across the european region. however, to give you some light to this, this does come at a time when study says suggesting that on the chron is less likely to damage to lungs than previous variance, such as the delta variant, or even the alpha beat of variance. and that it also provokes a less severe and type disease. so good news, but at the same time with all the restrictions in place and the continuing fear

that we are seeing from authorities, many people will be questioning if this ongoing tightening of restrictions is in fact the right path to tried me while crossville antic, the number of covey cases has surged in the united states, the weekly average, that surpassing 360000. throughout the pandemic, the world health organization, how stressed the most effective way they say to combat the virus through vaccination. while americans have been suffering. that has been one sector in route health, big pharma, reportedly raking in more than $90000000.00 per day. saskia taylor reports 2021 beer. we discovered that reading no cure for greed. just off, big pharma, pfizer is forecasting $15000000000.00 in revenue from its covert vaccine. this year . it is our 1st profitable quarter, hitting that $1900000000.00 mark a majority of which is their cobra, 1900 vaccine of course, $1000.00 every 2nd,

pfizer buy on tech and moto now made one $1000.00 every 2nd. but it turns out that drug companies like to pump 2 pills at once, money and power, and we're better to wield one's power than in washington. d. c. introducing congress says biggest lobbyist, big pharma, which last year dropped a cool $266000000.00 to sway american lawmakers, though given how the holy trinity of fires and madonna biotech was averaging over 900000000 a day last yet it's really just loose change less than 3 days. walk in fact, for the rest of us though, it's an awful lot. you know what? there's also an awful lot of in the u. s. capital big pharma lope. yes. in fact, so many, but they are number congressmen. 3 to one. so what does all that cash exposure get them? well, pretty much anything they want. this is a very powerful industry with significant lobbying clout,

is very good at knowing exactly how many votes they need to kill pieces of legislation and figuring out a way to get those votes. it's funny though, because you'd think that with a democrat run house and senate pharmaceutical giant would have had a tough year after all thing years the party's been promising to fight the greed. first, we'll take on the drug and insurance companies and hold them accountable for the prices they charge and the harm they cause about bringing the cost of prescription drugs down to the pharmaceutical companies have been jacking up prices hand over fist for years, and then we'll tell the pharmaceutical companies, thanks, but no thanks for overpriced drugs pay the highest prescription drug prices of any developed nation in the world. it's called valiant pharmaceuticals. i'm going after them. we are going to stop this. this is predatory pricing, but enough is enough. the greed of the pharmaceutical industry is killing americans and making many of them much sicker than they otherwise would have been. it has got

to stop. so we need congress to finish the job, to come together and make a difference in people's lives. turns out though, making money is so much more fun than making a difference in people's lives. in fact, 60 percent of big farmers, you know, be money goes to democrats. so when in april upon was proposed to knock down truck prices surprise it got voted down one of the people against it, new jersey senator bald mendez, you know, how much mendez is pocketed from the drug, sloppy this year. $80000.00. then along came the build back bat act, which among other things wanted to make medication actually affordable a ridiculous idea. so what did big pharma do? it splash some serious cash to block the bell? big farmer will spend, do, and say whatever it takes to defeat any legislation that will curb its unilateral power to dictate prices of prescription drugs. apparently the big pharma rules that

leave almost one in for americans unable to afford that regular medication is necessary. because while reef touch, we have an obligation to ensure that the sale of our medicines provide us with the resources necessary to invest in future research and development. and while the lobbies $1000000.00 ad failed bill bach, patrice on the rocks anyway. so fingers crossed, we know what came as a real shock. other than politicians, putting money for people and pharmaceutical joints. not caring about public health . the fact that big pharma plays dottie 1st drug companies have raised prices with abandon, especially when they succeed in delaying a blocking competition. in some cases, tied to higher pay for executives. second, companies have manipulated the peyton system and marketing exclusive. it is to extend their monopolies. 3rd, all the companies, the committee investigated, have employed anti competitive strategies to suppress generic competition. really,

but no one i was having control of like saving medication. also, it wouldn't be mad. the pandemic costs are just a little while longer. they got on a path and they want to keep this path there. and these other therapeutics aren't really going to make them a lot of money. politicians on big pharma harder walk in d. c, save lives, solving the people and showing each and every day that there's no drug, more addictive than money, power and everything in between. and it's not just coded. giving us a headache in 2021. the migrant crisis along the board and rec, caught on the side rates in major cities. they've added to the woes. for instance, 2021. which chicago's deadliest year for 25 years coming as it did amid the d. from the police movement, auntie corresponding kelly morgan takes us to the major challenges america face last year. 2021 is going to be a hard year to forget. americans have been through

a lot in the last 12 months. the year began with a tough challenge for green energy, low temperature is hit. the united states by surprise, texas was the worst hit because 25 percent of its electricity comes from wind turbines. they stop spinning and froze. the texas governor blamed joe biden and his new environmental regulations for the disaster that ensued. texas is going to protect the oil and gas industry from any type of hostile attack launched from washington d. c. president obama, post wind turbines pretty hard and despite last winter is disaster. biden is still giving them a big role. a key plank of our build back better recovery plan is building a modern, resilient climate infrastructure and clean energy future that will create millions of good pain unit jobs. all that eco friendly energy was not prepared for some cold

weather energy provider is, could not manage utility bills were through the roof. i'm pretty much paid $9.00, a kilowatt electricity, but i was very conservative with my electricity, so i have no idea exactly why this bill is so much but steadily going up. i absolutely cannot afford it. i'm not exactly sure. you know, who can it's gotten to the point where some people have totally turned off their power because they can't afford methods enough. they, they just can't afford it. it's a basic necessity for living. basic utilities should not cause 1000. and then there was coven, the total death toll in america rose to about $800000.00. jo biden's, coven mandates, requiring people to get the job in order to keep their jobs resulted in employee shortages protests and even rioting. many different reasons were cited. my go for

opposing it. oh, i important public services like firefighters, police and even airlines were a hard hit despite government attempts to convince people that vaccination against cove it is vital, a lot of people fear. and i think rightly so that they could end up on the street with no paycheck in the united states. we're already under a very ste. i would call a severe shortage of qualified individuals to be mechanics, to be find a tennis to be pilots. specifically, half of the industry could potentially be gone to lunch, coven, it's killing people. st. crime is getting worse. many cities had the highest crime rates they've ever had since the ninety's

i hate i last year the rallying cry was defined the police, but many are starting to backtrack on that, saying they don't feel safe and they need protection diesel on the police just as a regular rule has been a colossal failure. he placing tried to implement de from the police crime has gone up. what has been york chicago in minneapolis in the late it's it's been a colossal failure because what stops crime? what brings crime down, especially violent crime or more police on the street? you have to have police on the street in order for your street to be safe. now things have also been heating up on the border to 1000000 migrants have been

arrested illegally crossing the border. that's the highest rate in 20 years now. many thought that jo biden's election on promises softer immigration policies was a signal that opened up the floodgates. but in reality, vital did not end up changing many of trumps immigration policies. asylum seekers still have to wait in mexico and the detention facilities along the us. mexico border are still just as ugly. how many children have been in the biden cages and calendar year 20? $21.00? senator, i respectfully disagree with your use of the term cages. by the way, here's a photograph of the biden cages that the senator, that is precisely why articulated children on floors crashed in upon each other. when i took this photograph, the coven rate of cobit positivity was over 10 percent. all of this while prices are rising, inflation is the name of the game. the usa is facing the highest rate of inflation

in 40 years with more than half of americans saying that they think the biden administration is only making things worse. it's been a terrible year for inflation. it's up around 8 percent or higher. this is the levels that we haven't seen since back in the jimmy carter years in the seventy's when the government just prints money out of thin air and spends it on things and gives it to people. it causes the value of your money to go down. that's what's happening in america. the government is printing money, spending more than it brings in, and actually the proposals to deal with it mostly are going to make things worse. the u. s. a leaving afghan us dan, after 20 years of military present, forced washington to answer some questions about whether hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars were basically left to waste. not forgetting the countless lives lost on both the american and afghan side.

ah. in the extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. it was designed to save american lives. this left the majority of americans blaming joe biden, for the afghan. pull out with politicians from all across the political spectrum, joining the chorus, the most illegal migrant crossings in 20 years. the highest crime rates in 30 years,

and a 40 year high and inflation, as well as the end of a to decade, military operation. after a year of bad records, many americans are hoping that 2022 will bring respite kayla. bobbin are to new york. ah, i've gone his studies on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe. the rebellion says, facing starvation, cold weather is battering the population. the country's economy is on its knees. it is shrunk by nearly half in the month since the devastating us withdraw the hasty american exit. so tragic scenes unfolding ah, of thousands of afghans did try to flee the country during and after the use evacuation it led, though to celtic, seems, accomplish port and panic across the capital montes senior correspondent,

broadcast the f was in cobble force and the tongue in 2001, it began with, with righteousness and pomp invade. i've got to start to fight for freedom to fight terrorism and make the world a better place. 19 years, 10 months and $25.00 days on. this is america's legacy. destroyed and sabotaged equipment. a country board to ruin and still in control of the talbot. that is the ultimate tragedy of the afghan war at was entirely and violently pointless. years and years of an obliging little questioning media. fooled billions into believing that there was progress that america could win total victory over the taliban to taliban flat, the end of the taliban. taliban leadership on the run. and now the question is, how do you handle that success? ah ah,

it wasn't supposed to be this way. the taliban wasn't supposed to sweep the country in mere weeks. the pentagon spent a decade preparing to leave of gaston, and even they weren't ready for this. together with our eyes, we will complete our mission. bear by the end of this year announced a timeline for drawing down our forces. we are working to finally and america's longest war is timed and for evermore. america's proud this movement of the afghan war wasn't supposed to be a humiliating evacuation under the guns of the taliban. but it was there is absolutely nothing else to celebrate. the united states ended 20 years of war in afghanistan, the longest war and american history. we completed one of the biggest air lifts in

history with more than 120000 people evacuated to safety. no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all history. the only the united states had the capacity in the will village to do it. and we did it today. where was the afghan army, where it was the west and backed government? where did all the money go? the united states sunk more than a $100000000000.00 in the rebuilding of data stock for reference adjusted for inflation. that is more than the united states spent on the marshal plot to rebuild europe after world war 2. and the tragedy of it is that for a civilian the side from all the american weapons and the taliban hads berries almost no evidence that any of that money ever passed through here from broken

roads that lead to nowhere to abandoned hospitals from twisted contractors and corrupt leaders of janice, dawn can arguably be called the largest money laundering operation in human history . the united states is also committed to playing a leading role in the reconstruction of afghanistan. ah ah ah. the taliban now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world. ah,

al qaeda and isis k still exist in our growing and afghanistan, and eventually they acquire these weapons. ah, we now have americans stuck in afghanistan to tell van in charge the smoke more weaponry they've ever had in the past. and of order that is of the taliban now controls more of the country than it did before. the u. s. invaded at new government this field with what dynamo, bay inmates, and terrorist mac dean who even have american bounties on their heads. what washington achieved was the absolute opposite of what it intended. the bombing at campbell airport during the evacuation epitomized the afghan war, a senseless act, devoid of reason, which needless,

he cut short so many lives. we will not forgive. we will not forget. we will hunt you down and make you pay. we've heard the same promise before 20 years ago when america was united and when it thought that it could change the world when it thought it was invincible. and when the people believed a president's promise more, i guess if archie couple of got his son. ok, hope your tune and next hour. i'm not joe biden. to hunt you down and make you pay . if you don't be a little bit missed, if you don't have to see it. waller officers are facing an increasingly dangerous environment. we are seeing a growing debate about so called warrior cops,

a term that i've heard in the militarization of police. this is an app vehicle we acquired through the 1033 program and very free program with the government program that funnels military property that is no longer used to local law enforcement with building an army over here. and i can't believe people aren't seen 1st thing an agency all to frontier. yeah. they have terrorism here cuz it began appealing that ahead. you have to deal with our practice. who are you putting in uniform cover beds is a powerful thing. is from tab has like money in play tricks and people mind they think they go bad. no is wolf is out the door very bad. john's work on the good news that you have job security because the world desperately needs that you have to get as we continue looking at the nearon review and the year ahead, bringing in the all star desks from all over the world. we've got

a great one today, stacy. it's charles hugh smith. oh, of 2 minds dot com. ah, your story goes to chill. tristan's goal is to chill did former with which one is a bad though it was just my with gracie, what was left the game. is that with water? with a couple of minutes when you was, wasn't feeling that the appointment was for that if you can squeeze you machine that i did with more, i need to go put that amount with me is power.

i was born with a when i was so seemed wrong when all 3 just don't move. i mean you world yes. to shape out. disdain becomes the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. with ah

ah hello in welcome to cross stock, were all things considered? i'm peter lavelle. how is the economy working for you? we are told this is the time of the great reset and build back better. what does this mean to you? how does the green new deal play into this? it seems the richer only getting richer. but what about the rest of us? i cross talking the great reset. i'm joined by my guess jeffrey tucker in austin. he is the founder and president of brownstone institute in bristol, we have 20 rar. she's the deputy leader of the workers party of britain in author of the drive to war against russia and.
