the mr. dye economic crisis. 99 percent of the don't is selling kid needs of the people encountering economic problems and only one percent of donors of the ones who donate that kidney to a family member. it needed to most donors come from poor families and may not be aware of the consequences. plus the deaths won't go away by themselves. most of people leave the country, fearing for their lives, but some also leave in search of jobs. and when those people cannot make it to other countries, they come back home and they have to pay the money they had borrowed for their travel calls. and to do that, they sell their household belongings or sell their kidneys and some people even decide to sell their children job. now, as don for the shark, the chaotic us nato withdrawal and the taliban take over, pushed afghanistan into financial chaos. subsequently aggravated when the west froze afghan assets abroad. and when foreign funding was suspended,

the u. n. is now launching a $5000000000.00 a de payable. this is a stop get an absolutely essential stock up measure that we are putting in front of the uncharged rich bay. without this being funded, there won't be a future. we need this to be done. otherwise they will, there will be outflow. there will be to suffer for those who have sold their organs . the suffering has already known the bear. okay, go back to a story. we talked of it a little bit earlier. why is america experiencing empty shelves and supply chain may have much more this season compared to previous years? that's the question. news use shoes probes ah ah, we embraced lee of course, the un, sorry,

didn't the united states a batch human rights talking about press freedom. if you go to the top, you don't want so group. in other words, she's got to be consistent. you can start over on the one hand we believe in press freedom. but on the other hand, we're going to exclude julian massage. and i think as you progress audit stations, choice is really makes a little bit really mad about the caching turning here in australia where they just don't understand them, right? i want to start instances, which comes down, that's what started off. it's just a few items missing from grocery store shelves has turned into empty aisles and long lines at the self. check out what happened to america, the bountiful and the last time americans had images of this darkness was during

times of world war and depression. but with all of the afflictions be experienced by americans, why does this administration continue to talk aggressively on a global issue that when they have yet to deal with the problems facing americans at home? sure, our military budget might be the highest ever at $753000000000.00, but with recruitment at its lowest point in recent times. what did the us is a forced to put military action behind their incendiary rhetoric? i'm sending out views and on today the news news here. we're going to look at what is causing the problems at grocery stores across the country, and why politicians are blaming the business community rather than their own of suffocating regulation. we're also going to look at the large bonus, the army has a just put into it back, all in hopes of retaining and recruiting their force. bought the same time, continuing to discharge those who refused to get the vaccine. should we have done

that? so we are doing the sure we've got it. so we're doing oh plus by to send out on a damage control or once again following a, another communication mix up a by the vice president. this time regarding at home kobe testing. there's a lot to discuss, including the supreme court delivering the largest blow to the bided administration . with them striking down the vaccine mandate on a large businesses. let's get started. ah, america, the meagre from empty shelves to lack of test, shortages of workers to yes, even a disinterested join the military, the united states people are left to wanting. meanwhile, politicians are in searching themselves in a foreign conflict, any foreign conflict, it seems. it is russia, as you have heard, that has

a stark choice to make d escalation and diplomacy, which of course remains our preferred course or confrontation and consequences. our goal remains the complete the nuclear zation of the korean peninsula. and we continue to believe that sirius and sustain diplomacy is the only way we'll be able to make a tangible progress towards that. i still can't decide of the focus on foreign conflict is more about getting money back into the greedy hands of defense contractors or to distract from the situation here at home. but one thing is for certain, if a 2 year old virus and a few inches of snow can cause this big of a disruption in a supply chain. just imagine how upset americans will be if we go to war and we completely break the chain altogether. now, shortages at us grocery stores had become more and more common on the recent weeks . as the fast spreading. alma kron variant and severe where have piled onto the

already existing supply chain issues and labor shortages for more on that issue. and what we can expect moving forward, we bring in our to correspond it. paxton boyd shelves are empty. a beef chicken eggs, fruit and vegetables even non perishable items. hard to find in some grocery stores . down a normal year, 5 to 10 percent of food items may be unavailable today, roughly 15 percent are out of stock. that according to jeff freeman, president and ceo of the consumer brands association. officials say things may not get better for the next 12 to 18 months. now, there are many reasons for this, including an increased demand for groceries with families choosing to eat at home during the oma concert. as we saw here in the d. c. metro area last week, winter storms have effected major interstate and a shortage of as many as 80000 truck drivers are out nationwide. that's a historic high, according to the american trucking association. because of this experts say to expect price hikes and food shortages similar to what we saw in 2020, in colorado,

nearly 8400 employees at kroger on stores have gone on strike, overpay and working conditions. now here's what you're seeing as a result on tuesday, wal mart folder and albertson stocks dead albertson's ticking the biggest hit, indicating a trend among major grocers being affected by the supply chain issues. also, the strips to the grocery store going to cost consumers even more with inflation soaring to 7 percent for the 1st time. and for decades. that with the united states seeing more than 700000 cases of cobra. 19 per day on housing, grocery store workers to call out sit. and we heard reports from companies talking about. we've had more positive tests in the past 2 weeks when they had in all of 2020. those positive text tests are taking people off the front lines. it's forcing companies to shut down manufacturing lines preemptively. and it's leading to just simply not enough supply. experts, a store shelves may not the normal until this pandemic lets us staffing returns to

normal and the global food distribution network is restored. for our t america, i'm paxton void in washington dc. so let's discuss further and we're going to our panel, richard wolf, economic professor, an author of the sickness and the system. when capitalism fails to save us from pandemic or itself, as well as steve gail from or u. s. t. r official under bush and clinton. thanks for joining me gentlemen. thank you. and the u. s. government devoted at $4.00 trillion dollars in total aid spending to combating the effects of the crone of ours, including the economic effects. yet america has a bare shelves and lack of workers. so dr. wolf, with all the money devoted, why didn't work? we have systemic problems in our economic system. they've been accumulating for a long time. they've been down the road. we have imagined that we have the best system in the world, and therefore all our problems will be sol. it's childish,

we should not have done it. we should have gotten a wake up call with how badly we've done in managing this cobit compared to many other countries. when we didn't look a supply chain, everybody who runs a business knows you have to take steps to cover the eventuality that your input. so your labor can come to work. we're in the middle of a total disaster for 2 years. you must have understood, you have bad back up. that bad workers that will come from buying doesn't you have to take those steps and they're going to cost you money and they go into your profit. but if you don't do it well, then we get the situation with which you opened the program. and i think one of the things is most frustrating about this dr. wealth is that even if companies had those backup plans ready to go, they were, i'm, they were not anticipating how much the government was going to involve themselves . and that's one of my 30 you, steve, this hash tag, hash tag, bear, shelves, biden being used. so is it fair to put all the blame on this administration,

the decisions made by congress just this past year? well, it's better to put most of the blame, certainly on them, but i agree with dr. well, that you know, this has been a problem that's been building for a while. we've had companies in the us that have increasingly relied upon just in time delivery. and when there's any disruption in that process, just in time becomes not enough time. and we're seeing some of that. but you've also seem to find administration not spend all that covered by the hundreds of billions of dollars that was supposed to go to, to buying tests to, to buy therapeutics, to help ease the process. and then of course, we now get reports that the cdc and others were blocking the use of ivr backing and other therapeutic hydroxy clark, and because it didn't fit politics. so the politics of the by did ministration, including cutting off the pipeline of our fuel. our oil that has helped raise prices if the grocery store helps slow the price of, of, of goods coming back down even when oil prices stop by rising. and maybe just kind

of pause for a moment. all of the policies, the budget, ministration of john's hotel, a difficult situation into a catastrophic situation. and that's where we are saying yet we're looking for answers or how to solve it. or more importantly, politicians are looking who to blame central is, it's warren actually, tweed out. what happens when only a handful of giant grocery stores, chains, i, kroger, dominate an industry. they can force high food prices on to americans while ranking and racking in record profits. we need to strengthen our antitrust laws to break up giant corporations and lower prices. that term problem. but dr. world, considering their fixed nationwide change over 50 brand underneath them as well as hundreds of notable local chain stores. and each have to buy the product from someone else. why put the blame of high cost of food on the grocery store and saying that that's the monopoly rather than looking at your own policies that you've put in the, in the regulations that you put into cause these costs to be so high in the 1st place. well, it's not your is not an either or, but we've had

a long tradition going back at least to 89 in the sherman and b trust black in 1914, the great mac. we are a nation that at least verbal lee says it is dangerous to allow a handful as in this case for a 5 monster supermarket change the have that kind of hold. they had their the major buyer for the farmers to sell their goods. and then the other major sell it to us that puts them in a very powerful position which we are on record as an agent, being opposed to i think elizabeth warren is absolutely right. that's part of the story. but that's what i meant before. when i said these things we've allowed to develop without opposition, neither by trump nor by abiding or the ones who came before. and now we're gonna see how we have to reap the whirlwind, that our failure to impose anti trust is going to bring down on us. well,

it's interesting you today, because you have to look at what the fetish thing all this and steve, you know, you're now hearing the china is possibly going to lockdown their ports. and so there could be, this could be just the beginning of an even bigger supply chain issue on that front . but what role is the fed playing is we're talking about rate increases in tax hikes that they're talking about reasoning, raising their hikes there. is that possibly going to help or is that going to continue to her? is that what the fed needs to be doing right now? well, 1st of all, i'll disagree with dr. wolf. elizabeth warren is absolutely clueless. she and the by the administrators are spending too much time trying to point the finger of blame rather than actually solve the problems. they have created a 1st ever blame in the, the ranchers and meet growers. they were blaming the packing plants and they were fighting. and the grocery stores, the bottom line is none of this stuff gets to the grocery stores unless or until you can transport it from the farm to the packing houses and then to the grocery stores and restaurants when fuel prices have increased over 50 percent in the last

year, because of the policies and the binding ministration, we shouldn't be surprised at the inflation and the high cost of everything going up . if there isn't a magic energy policy. but we did see the destructive energy policies of the by the administration now sticking it to us in the, in the pocket book, i'm very concerned that inflation and what that is doing. we're going to see the interest rates go up. keep in mind we have borrow trillions and trillions of dollars and when those interest rates go up, the cost of what our government has to pay for bonds to pay the interest on the debt they've run up and again, both parties have done it. but we're now in the trillions and trillions of dollars that's going to raise the price that the government has to spend just on paying interest. and they can't spend on buying stuff, but the american be, when those credit card bill start coming out of be interesting to see if the workers then decide to jobs if those jobs will still be there. steve, dr. wolf, thanks for the conversation. now despite multiple issues here at home, the representatives from the united states continue to speak where they are ready

to fight if their wishes are not acted upon. but just like every other industry in america, our military forces are also facing a labor shortage. so much so the united states army is now offering the largest enlistment bonus ever at $50000.00. and this incentive is for qualified recruit to sign up for certain career paths and they must agree to a 6 year active duty enlistment. now the blame for low numbers is being put on the pandemic, and the lack of recruitment allowed in schools. is there more to it? so let me ask, rob, manage a 32 year old usa combat that and host of the rob man a show rob, thank you so much for joining me on. this is money actually, the reason why, unless my numbers are down right now, i didn't know that you could put a price on patriotism. no, it's not money. yeah. cobra, it may be part of the issue, but quite frankly, we have an all volunteer force. and if you look at things like casualty numbers for my rocky freedom, 3465 white males died in that of the 4418 americans

killed in iraqi freedom. and the military as opposed to white males right now. my white male son just left the active duty this year and his peers, hughes in c o, a non commissioned officer. his peers are leaving the military in droves. and of course, when you fire people for not taking the vaccine, it's very difficult to get votes that don't want to take the vaccine for various reasons. most of them legitimate dick joined the all volunteer military and they're not going to be able to put their money where their mouth is about ukraine and taiwan or anything else. in my opinion, they're talking too much about that and making more of a deal out of it than really well obviously fear is one of the best factors that they use right now to motivate or to scare people with whichever one that they want to do. and i think it's about the diversity i agree. diversity is very important

within all forces. but what the woke miss, i think it's what scares people with this idea. it's not even just about talking about racial lines. it's also about every other kind of line that our military focused on, rather on actually creating a strong military, $50000.00. great signing bonus in the us military says that allows them to compete against private corporation. but that makes people think that the military is a typical 8 to 5 job. therefore, do you think it's actually going to change anyone's mind who wasn't already considered? and we'd say, i'm not going to take a cushy computer job because i'm going to get $50000.00 to go put my life on the line in a foreign land because a politician wants to send to me there. it may change one or 2 people's minds, but it's not going to change anybody's mind overall. as a matter of fact, americans don't want to die for ukrainians with the russians, and americans don't want to get into war with china over anything that is our bottom line here. and it requires americans to volunteer to serve in spite of bonus

incentives and those kinds of things. because you're not going to get the numbers that you need with a monetary bonus like this $50000.00 bonus. although of free there would be a lot of people that, that do decide to take it. but the real question they have to answer is, do i want to die for this regime that we see now that doesn't even approve of people that support the values in our declaration of independence and the constitution of the united states. that is ridiculous and american especially men are not going to sign up for it. and they've got to come to they've got to come to the realization scotty that it is white males that volunteer most of them from the south. and that for this country in these wars, the statistics show it over and over again between 70 and 85 percent of the combat

casualties in the united states of america in all of our wars has been white men. and if the department of defense continues to be anti white male, which is exactly what the woke nis and the diversity political officers that they're putting in place are doing, they're not going to get the volunteers. and you know what, i'm going to push my congressman to eliminate the selective service. so there can't be a draft the back up these unnecessary threats of go on the war with countries that we don't have to go. well, i want to thank your son. first are thank you, i say for yours as well. and i think that is important that we have recruitment of all kinds. i think that's the sad part. is it? unfortunately, bullets don't know any color when they actually go in here. we, the enemy is the one that does that. and in this side, i think that, that it's the irresponsibility that we have come after afghanistan, 20 years of afghanistan, and leaving people behind. i think that right there, what personal as to sign up for that job or just being pons of politicians. in fact, i one of those that believe that if you get elected to office since your kid 1st

over to a war that you start before you send mine chrome and thanks for joining us back. when we come back, what does the supreme court ruling on vaccine mandate mean to the by administration? specifically, after vice president harris had trouble responding when will americans receive at home kobe test? there's a lot more after the break with the so called enhanced interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position doesn't take very long to the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating. nobody's playing a finger on you. you are doing it to yourself and we started adopting those techniques when i was station and mosul among them,

wordpress positions sleep deprivation inducing hypothermia. there's already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrants and children, whatever you do in war comes from home. nobody has been held accountable for the torture that happened in the past. the moral authority, the made america leader sucker funds, the shimmer of effective inter ah, welcome back. we want to get to developing news out of this supreme court. the conservative majority court has a blocked and the by the ministrations a coven, 19 mandate. and a $6.00 to $3.00 vote. this means that the supreme court rolled up forcing companies with a 100 or more of employees to require vaccine or test to continue working is not constitutional. however, the court

a did uphold the mandate for health care workers who receive medicare and medicaid services by a 5 to 4 vote. basically at the hospital, received money from the government. the government is allowed to issue the vaccine mandate. so discuss, i wanna bring in steve gruber, host of the a steep through or show alongside attorney, a line or other line or media. this was based on an osha statute. osha says workplace requirements, workplace opened. saws, lading to do work, place to supreme court, merely read the statute. ready, act and said cove, it is something that we risk on a daily basis that has nothing to do with the workplace. now it did say, if you happened to work in a, in a was a confined area where you're cramped hatch one thing. but this basically just was common sense as to this 2nd case involving healthcare workers. there oftentimes require to go through a regimen series of,

of basic health health related procedures that makes complete and total sent. so this is not so much the constitution, but common sense. and it sends a message that you cannot extrapolate, coated fear everywhere. it has to make sense. that's what today was about line i, i missed common sense. i mean it's almost like in this country, i guess the world's gotten less common sense, like they've gotten oxygen over the last 2 years. gruber, what does this mean? do you think going forward we have a lot of mayors that have mandates here in washington dc starting on saturday that are shutting down to those that are on back. it, it does, is this going to have an effect you feel like on some of these mayor saying what you're doing is overreach and possibly could be challenged in court as well? well, i've got bad news for all of you. your take on it is completely wrong this a catastrophic day for the united states. may i explain, please. the health care system in this country has many small hospitals, 120 beds,

100 and beds is smaller. that all now have a decision to make because the vaccination rate on these small rural hospitals runs at about 50 percent or less. so in order to uphold the vaccine mandate upheld by the supreme court, they're going to have to lose about half of their employees, which means they're going to go bankrupt. or they can ignore the mandate, which means they won't get c m s reimbursement, which is about 70 percent of their funding on these small hospitals. and they go bankrupt. most of these small hospitals have about $200.00 days of resources in reserve that they can survive. we're going to start seeing small health care systems, clinics, hospitals go out of business in the next few weeks. more devastating is the fact that many of these hospitals have the biggest employee base and many of these small towns that, ironically, are in what you would call. trump's america. read america. you're going to watch. hundreds of hospitals go bankrupt. this is a death warrant for health care in america. it's also the shortest way for

democrats to get us to the single payer health care system. i don't mean to pop your bubble, everybody, but the fact of the matter is, this is a very dark day for health care in america. because the small hospitals cannot survive. they cannot survive with half their staff. and if coven vaccines are about, about making us healthier, and you get in a car wreck in the hospital that was there, 10 minutes away is now gone. and you have to be taken an hour from a car wreck or a heart attack, or whatever the case may be. you're going to die. people are going to die because of this misguided decision by the united states supreme court. this is devastating to health care in america. thank on that. is it every down or but you are speaking straight truth and probably when the biggest concerns are right. i do believe this was the goal long to get to a single payer system. this is better than obamacare, this is a better path for them to get it accomplished line, okay, disaster. i'm gonna let you, i'm gonna throw this back over to you because here's my con, my thought though, because this at least shows of the constitution that we're not giving a dictatorship is living in the oval office right now,

or any time in the near future. will there be more challenges? do you think in this as we're seeing problems with getting actual testing with health care as it is? do you think eventually this will cause people just to say, you know what? let's just keep moving forward. however, that is, well, i don't know, i hope so. let me just explain with the supreme court said the supreme court is not congress. all it did was rule i to say balls and strikes. it merely said that in one instance this was acceptable. in another instance and was it, it goes back to congress, it goes back, the president, it goes back to us is supreme court is not gonna tailor legislation to make it fit to best to address the college situation. all i did was merely say, is this acceptable one of these days? i'm going to give you a list of all the laws that you could pass that will lead constitutional muster. and you will be able to sleep at night because the constitution is a wonderful thing. but it's not everything. it merely allows the acceptable. and if

you understand what that means, good, cause that makes one of us. well, i want to throw real quick back. i got to talk about yesterday, comma harris, where joe, by this morning had to go in and clean up something for the come on harris that she doesn't know steve. the fact that she went on, craig melvin, she burdened by demonstration and she was highly flawed. roll out of these 5, her mind coverage. i. she think they're coming tomorrow, but they could be next week. but more, i want to take a listen. the 500000000 tests that have been ordered that are going to be sent to every american. do we know when those are going go shortly though they're going to go out really? mean been ordered, they've been ordered. we. i'd have to look at the current information i think is going to be by next week, but soon, absolutely soon. and it is a matter of urgency for us should we have done that? so we are doing it before we have done it. so we're doing how does she not have more direct answer? steve grover, she is the vice president of the united states, get us these test if our lives are working on livelihood. meredith is depending on

it to be fair, nobody in the administration has the answer. joe biden went out on december 23rd promised tests in the 1st week of january. they were coming 5000000 to us. they don't even have the contracts signed, not today, the contract isn't signed today. they're not making tasks with united states government. i mean, i agree, she should know more, but the same answers that are off base of come from gen saki, right? come from jo bible, exact. i'm from vice president. com la harris. they have no idea what they're doing by you to do. hence are we have both of you on and thanks for joining me today. and thank you for watching. we'll catch you soon. ah. while our officers are facing an increasingly dangerous environment, we are seeing a growing debate about so called warrior cops. the term that i've heard in the militarization of believe this is an am wrapped vehicle we acquired through the

1033 program and very free program with the government program that funnels military property that no longer use the local law enforcement with building an army over here and i can't believe that people aren't seen 1st thing an agency. i was with terrorism here because it began a feeling that hey, you have to deal with your higher practice. who you putting in uniform because of bands is a powerful thing, is sometimes like money in play trick people mind. they think they've gone the bad news. the walk is out the door very bad. johns are coming. good news. you have job security because the world desperately needs that you've been with

ah, the west. when too far, let's be frank in violation of all international obligations and common sense they chose to escalate this situation. russia is foreign minister doesn't hold back during his annual press conference with one topic dominating thought nato expansion survey love roth. once again, i had line moscow, red light coming up in the program. the cia has reportedly been training elite, ukrainian special operations teams on u. s. territory, that's and made multi tensions with russia. yes, more twists than the survey involving tennis superstar novak brokovich. the world number one is visa is revoked once again by australia. meaning he could face a 3 year and 3 bath, but it's still scheduled to play in the it's really an open run some event on monday.
