layout, if their decision will affect the future of affirmative action and other situations in a young woman withdraws from the rhodes scholarship program. and after this investigation says, she was not honest about her background. however, she believed she was wrongly accused and filing a lawsuit against the university. we're going to bring you the details. i'm going to hear the story, the warranty, that news views right here on our t america. ah, while the us is sound in the alarm and the media is sending out messages of eminent war between russia and ukraine to big nato power houses, france and germany have a message of knock it off. we only want piece or $2.00 for a hell of it looks at how this newly formed alliance is trying to de escalate. what could be a new cold war? tensions are on the rise as the u. s. and some other nato members continue with

inflammatory language in russia. we have been very clear throughout, if any russian military forces move across the ukrainian border and commit new acts of aggression against ukraine. that will be met with a swift, severe united response from the united states and our allies and partners. however, as russia continues to deny any plans of an invasion, not all needle allies are singing the same tune. and 2 of the groups biggest players are suddenly got a very different message. although french president no manual micron has echoes the more hawkish stance that a military aggression will trigger heavy consequences. his preference of a diplomatic path has been highlighted with macros. seeing that we call for a de escalation of tensions. and i want to also say how united germany and france

are on the subject. in fact, the french president has also been a proponent of closer relations with russia. here he is speaking at the european parliament just days ago, the 2nd fool. what we need to build is a european order founded on principles and rules which we have rallied behind, which we have put together not against or without, but with russia 30 years ago. as for germany, although it's been talking tough, it's actions have gone beyond words and it's push for peace. me last week, berlin said no to it's needle ally, estonia, which plan to export german made weapons to ukraine. and when the u. k decided to send a c, 17 cargo plane full of weapons to ukraine. it had to take a detour around german aerospace taking a longer route over denmark and poland to its destination. back to not kron. he is taking the diplomatic rains as the leader of the country, which has the european union's most powerful military and the only nation with nuclear weapons. remember,

the u. k is the only other european nation in nato with nukes, but it is no longer in the you. the french president is scheduled to hold a board meeting with russia's president vladimir putin. this coming friday for news news he's, i'm alex mileage. okay, so with all of these tensions with ukraine on repeat, our americans following all that's happening. and how did they feel about the possibility of sending 8500 us troops to ukraine border while we sent our new york miami and los angeles barrows out to the street to ask those 2 questions? take a listen. do you think that the us should said truth to be free? no, i think we should just wait and see what happens 1st. so i support the u. s. supporting ukraine, but i think we need to do it intelligently before we get into, always russia. know we should mind that business. we have another issue that's going on with our own country. so, and so we can figure out what's going on with the united states of america. then we shouldn't be worried about anybody else. that's why i love america,

because you always need to save the world. what can we do without you guys? all the states to threaten us, so we take it seriously. but i'll let the big heads in the wash and figure it out. i mean, i can not tell because i'm not falling with that much the situation. i just hope that there's no war coming in or something. well, discuss the writing tensions along ukraine and russia. we bring in john jordan, thanks for joining me john. i have to tell you, i've been watching what's been going on and kind of shaking my head throughout everything going there so much out there. there's so many towards even our men on the street showed some people saying that ukraine is an ally to america. that there's threatening against george in the baltic states, all this kind of did different information. nobody's consistent. but i have to ask you, is the u. s. a more on high alert than ukraine or any of the other countries in the region. and why is that?

was you put it in a mixed bag ukraine right now for the moment, at least is trying to urge a spirit of calm on everybody's part in trying to make it look, make everyone kind of bring the temperature down. so people don't realize, don't think that there's an eminent invasion or imminent reason to panic on the russian side of one of my go to shows is this in the daily, which is the weekly news. it's probably one of russia's most watched programs for news and of late they have been hyping up the threat from ukraine to a level i hadn't really seen before. so that certainly is the opinion of many in russia that ukraine poses an existential threat to russia. and certainly the estonia, latvia, lithuania, poland, and many of the former wars that part was up back. countries are very, very concerned about this. recently today, i think the written response to russia's december, demands with regard to ukraine was sent to russia. but they're being kept confidential, so as to give diplomats and elected officials time and space to work without having

being under the public. i was interesting about the but once again and you know, we have, this is called the monroe doctrine that we use here is on this side of the hemisphere . what are american interest in ukraine, and are they important enough though, for us to risk all these military lives and a possibility at a full blown war down the line? why, from the american point of view, i don't think the issue is you crane as much as it is that nato and the united states won't stand for any sort of agreement being cut under threat. so i think had there been this been approach differently, perhaps the sort of some sort of grand bargain between russia and the united states . the russians might have gotten results certainly without as much risk or danger. but from the nato side is just, they won't be seen as having done it under the point of a gun. so it's, it's, it's, it's, it's the principle of thing and the circumstances in which this is coming to

a had rather than the underlying issue itself. but i get that principle john, but ukraine's not a part of nato that said the soul, why are that's the issue here? and it's not a part of nato. and what does the us have to do with anything in that region? what, why do we even have interest over there? well, certainly we do have, we do have nato members that were part of this, the warsaw pact, and even part of the soviet union at one time. again, the issue isn't ukraine as much as it is. the united states and nato won't tolerate russia at the point of a gun telling nato what it can or can't do or who it can and cannot admit. i think that this could be resolved quietly in a very different way, perhaps with only defensive weapons at most, not military aid going to ukraine, the promise not to station any sort of offensive forces on ukrainian soil. i think those types of concessions probably could be gotten, but i think they would have to be gotten under different circumstances. i'm afraid

in building, you know. but the one thing i've noticed here at home is the course of politicians united on both sides of the aisle acting on behalf of ukraine making this should be an issue. and then i think back to under donald trump as much as demonized. trump did everything he could to say why we did not need to be a native to pull funding from nato to say that nato was bad. now, the said you have all these republicans except for rand paul. i think the only one who's come out and said, no nato, nato naida, we need to back it up. why do you believe that the republicans as much as the democrats are agreeing on this one issue, that they need to actually be more aggressive in this area? did they love nato now? do they didn't love it under donald trump? no, they didn't. anything that donald trump love, they hate and vice versa. here's the problem. nato is kind of outlived its usefulness and rise. nato countries won't even agree to spending the minimum amount . they're obligated to enter the north atlantic treaty on defense. the germans have effectively left nato because they won't even license the artillery to go from

estonia to ukraine. the, the germans or the germans don't spend what they should, the germans are out for their own interest. they're, they're big, remember, whole point of need. so right after world war 2 is of, was the french used to say it was to keep the americans in the russians out and the germans down. so nato might have outlived its usefulness and certainly isn't contributing to american security anyway. in fact, quite the opposite. so, so i think the question of what is nato and why is america part of it in our commitment to it is certainly something that needs to be re thought going forward. thank you for trying to give me some clarification. my pleasure. a young woman who went into the foster care system has what most we call a remarkable story. but the university of pennsylvania is questioning her struggles and have temporarily revoked her scholarship for masters degree. r t correspondent natasha suite has more about this ongoing litigation. mckenzie pierce, it has filed a lawsuit against the university of pennsylvania for calling her story of abuse

into question. university is also refuting her claims of being a low income students and a 1st generation college graduates. mackenzie houston is one of $32.00 american road scholars. she was chosen in 2020, in a pool of 953 applicants. after graduating at the university of pen with an undergraduate degree fierce and was planning to attend grad school at the university of oxford, her research would focus on the vicious cycle of those in foster care ending up in prison. but now her scholarship is being put on hold after pen reportedly received an anonymous tip claim meet, fierce didn't was dishonest. in her application, university of penn launched an investigation. the school claims fierce ins accounts were quotes replete with falsities, including but not limited to a fictitious account of abuse by her mother. now thurston is soon the university and those involved in the investigation. according to the lawsuit fierce and had a seizure while attending pen. it took more than an hour for emergency personnel to arrive at the building on campus. she was then hospitalized for 5 days. if your

student then questioned that her classmates death was a result of not having adequate medical access, according to fear, since cameron driver died, 16 months prior to her incident after seizure like activity that led to cardiac arrest, she says there was also no cell service or landline available in the building, and she was wondering if the information she gave in that wrongful death lawsuit is the motive behind the university pulling her scholarship. they'll ferst and was awarded the scholarship 3 months after the wrongful death lawsuit and her litigation against the university of pen is questioning their investigation against her entirely. reporting for news is hughes and hush sweets r t sorta goes to story in the future of affirmative action in schools who are in a brand line all of a line on meeting. thanks for joining of lionel. indeed. ok. let's start when a tasha package on the pen rhodes scholar. does she actually have a case? well, i don't wanna be vague here,

but it depends on the the reason for a scholarship being revoked, being rescinded. i'm not sure what kind of a legal standard one must have that it's based on standards of marriage in honesty and little feet necessarily litigate that very easily. so as we say in sports, it remains to be seen. but i want to move on then to that very similar subject, maybe the $64000.00 question if you will, the lance, hey, it is heading to us from court, alleges asian american students have been discriminated against and rejected by harbor in favor of other people of color, who are less qualified, reversing racism versus promoting diversity line or is it all over for affirmative action? it's dead. affirmative action is through me recently to even the 1964 civil rights act. quote. no person in the united states shall on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity,

receiving federal financial assistance. that is, every college that we now look. my question is, what happens? it is done, we have been living under this since 978. it was a case called baki, which basically said that quotas were no good, but lewis powell de justice were basically we put, wrote the opinion, was very equivocal. sandra day o'connor had the chance to do something, she didn't. anthony kennedy thereafter, who replaced her, he didn't. but with this court right now, they're going to kill this. it is discrimination. no matter how you look at it and a violation of the 14th amendment period. oh, interesting or one more big move happened on the court. we have briars resignation, very liberal in the court, going to be replaced, he was appointed underneath bill clinton. now you're going to have one underneath and joe biden, probably of the same ideology balance isn't going to change, but the time you have this is this have anything to do with the midterms? do you believe in who they can get confirmed?

well, if it does, it's going to be fascinating to see because scotty, i have been watching as many others to see the litany of, of candidates that the buyer administration has put up from district court to circuit court of appeal. and i have been shocked. gob smacked the number of engages by seeing this, i mean to call them liberal, isn't even doing them a disservice or service. so let us see. but as you said correctly, the balance, what i mean will not be change, but also remember something very quickly when a judge puts that robot scotty and knows that he or she cannot be removed. and they enjoy a life tenure. you never know what they're going to do. i can go through a list of all the most liberal justice is that they thought who were conservative and vice versa. so, don't thing just because biden depicts them that they're going to maintain a certain ideology. well, it's interesting because the one campaign promised that by that kind of a fellow that he's gonna point, the 1st african american woman to the bench,

it looks like that's what's going to be his nominees, but he said time will tell thanks line of for joining us and when we come back, the by the ministration has officially dropped the vaccine mandate for large company. but will companies comply and what will happen to health care workers more after the break with phenomenon versus he is a sphere in your fast, you're falling off and and the other side already came on and you're back home. so i would like to envision that to you, does it actually this will be live. it's just like that. no one direction to him from the other side. ah,

ah. neither financial for i'm a job today we owe them money laundering. first aid to present this cash to 3 different. oh good. this is a good start. well, we have our 3 banks all set up here. maybe something in europe, something in america, something overseas, in the cayman islands, you know, all these banks are complicit in their club piper. so we just have to give them

a call and say, hey, i'm ready to do some serious my laundry. okay, let's see how we did. well, we've got a nice laundry watch for max and for stacy. oh, beautiful jewelry. and how about ha ha. luxury auto bill? again for mag, you know, it, money laundering is highly regal. copier. watch as a record. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on authentic, staring, dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk with

another victory today for those against the vaccine mandate. on wednesday, the bite administration decided to withdraw all the rule completely affecting private businesses with more than $100.00 employees. now, the original ruling by the supreme court struck down the vaccine mandate made without for business by a 6 to 3 vote. however, what does this mean for the mandate on health care workers? well, discuss this, bringing it been fun. investigate jonathan has to boom by fan. thanks for joining me on this. then thanks for having me on. it's almost comical, isn't it? it's interesting. it is predictable. it is. how long was it going to take? upheld the mandate though on health care workers. 5 to 4 ruling did the bite of ministrations withdraw. mean all vaccine mandates are no longer required. well, no because they are now moving forward to shore up this requirement on health care workers. they haven't backed off of that one back. they're moving forward on it. but it is what reason i say it's comical is because i can't believe it's even

a headline. the biden administration is, is revoking the rule with osha to mandate that employers get vaccinated for all large companies. companies with employees of $100.00 or more, what they are not rolling to. but what that essentially is zane is we're going to roll back our illegal order. you know, the, one of the supreme court said we had no constitutional authority to. we're going to go ahead and on the back, but i guess that's an improvement because the adviser ministration has not done that with other cases. like for instance, this moratorium on kicking people out of their homes where you can't remove people . landlords can't remove people, and courts found that that was illegal and the button administration said we don't care if you think it's illegal. we're going to keep going forward with it. so at least on this one, they took a step back. but in terms of federal workers, they have not taken a step back and they are showing up those orders. but i think been that's the reason why i wanted to make sure that i covered it because today the mandate was supposed to go into effect. and thank goodness the supreme court got a decision in time or else the story in the headlines. they would be

congratulations by and get to win. and these people don't get to work anymore. so i think we need to think he wants to erase that. he ever tried to propose something that the supreme court ruled to be unconstitutional, like they've done multiple other things that this administration has continued project. but now once it is withdrawn and supposedly they try to sweep under the rug, which we're going to make sure we, we remind people that they purposely put, put forward a law that was unconstitutional. can it come back though, in another form you can come back in another format and to that point, this is the important point of covering this right here. is that yes, the, the by demonstrations tried to erase what they did, what they are trying to do. now is that we're going to go through the normal rule making process, and we're going to try through another means instead of through osha through another organization or bureaucratic system. and we're going to try to impose his role in a different way. so they still want the rule to go through, they're just accepting, they can't do it through osha as an emergency rule. they want to use it as, as a regular rule. but think about this again. now you're coming back and saying that

it should be required of all employees in all businesses. they have to be vaccinated with the vaccine that increasingly the data shows doesn't work, certainly not against omicron, the i'm a chrome variant. it doesn't work at all against all, all micron. and so even pfizer saying about their, you know, 4th shot. the 2nd booster saying we're going to have to create one that is specific to a crime because it's not working. and israel, it has the data that proves that over 90 percent of the adult population vaccinated there and it's not working. so why would you mandate this for every worker in the country? it doesn't matter if it's to osha as an emergency rule or a general rule. i think that the court would probably still find that you can't just mandate people get shots willy nilly. he does require that as a requirement to have a job and yet the same excuse being used right now as to that fact that the monoclonal antibody treatment is being pulled because, oh yeah, it doesn't do anything to i'm a crime yet. here's the vaccine. it doesn't do anything, i'm

a crime that they're continuing to push forward. once again, like you said, it does not make sense, but something i avoid scratch my head with. there's a law in south carolina that is being proposed that makes it a violation, a criminal act to ask for a vaccine status. so how it is asking for vaccine status not fall underneath the hipaa violation already? well, it absolutely should fall under the hipaa violation. i mean, a hipaa essentially says you can't ask certain questions about someone's health status, how being vaccinated has escaped, that it's just the part of this entire system, right. as you just said, dr. valgy comes out and says that these monoclonal antibodies cannot be used. so they're going to continue a moratorium against them you're, you can't use them. that's crazy because you're saying because it doesn't work with all micron. but again, the maxine doesn't work against all micro, obviously. so we're watching this kind of play out and i think what we're hitting a moment of it's got a with each and every day is that more and more we're seeing people say, you know, these people who are in power, they don't know what they're talking about or what's worse is they do know what

they're talking about and they're just lying to us. and that's why i think we're seats of incredible things happening right now. i mean this, this freedom truckers convoy that's taking place in canada right now. is such an incredible story. $50000.00 truckers are headed to ottawa to the steps of parliament. 500000 people are expected to gather their on january 29th. all because the prime minister justin trudeau came out and said, every truck driver must be vaccinated or you can't cross the border. will he did that in conjunction with the biden administration, and it has backfired to such an incredible degree there. i'd love to see these kinds of ridiculous mandates backfire everywhere, including right here in the u. s. well, then what i think the other issue is that, you know, at least in the 1st initial off downs happened the 1st 2 years, a guy camping. i'm senate 2 years ago, we started covering the corona virus by the way. this is actually the week anniversary 2 years ago that we 1st did our 1st story on the corona virus over in china and how concerned we should be in continue to go to, you know, a little bit down. what has happened over the past years to 6 months is up, down,

up, down, up, down were on top it. no, we're failing. we're, i've done that consistency. i think it's the problem we're facing. do you think moving forward? are they going to continue to push on is, are you seeing them kind of a go relentless and try another route? well, you would think that they would be trying another route and yet what we're hearing is now some differing language. so now we're hearing more and more from those talking heads in the media. who really, parrot everything the administration wants anyways, is they'll say things like, well masks don't really work. they're not a big deal, right? but they, they have not changed their rhetoric about the effectiveness and the efficacy of the vaccines. and that's something that hasn't changed. why there's too much money in that. so what they want to be able to continue to do is require everyone to get shots into a perpetual system, and that's what we're watching. take place. i don't think they're going to back off of it. but i think at some point when elections start to show that people are fed up, maybe that some politicians will act differently. and it's interesting, he always in his metro areas are one way and the rest of the state years. they once

a governed and another been always great to talk to and thanks for continue to follow this up. that's all the time that we have a show. but i promise this is a conversation which we're going to continue. how do we do that will make on twitter at godaddy and news? you can use to hash tag team and vh lots of conversations back and forth. and for the show and more, make sure that you download the fordable dot to the app for your apple or android device. it's free and features all the diverse programming we have here at our t america. and like always until we see that again, stay happy. and healthy and stay informed. thanks for watching. ah ah ah, is you'll media a reflection of reality

in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? tice, elation for community. are you going the right way? or are you being that some with direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. there may, i'm may, we should all be mayor. may we should all be angry because of what's going on right . can't understand united states history and the role that slavery play.

already a very formal institution. i, time united states became a nation. it actually find the nation. the rise of capitalism is clearly on the backs of plate. and it's laid down if you had investigated lynchings and a great extent, you can't believe a country. and my country still stands and i'm from the south. everybody know, know what they're saying. to some extent, i would argue that we're still fighting the civil war. and the south is winning up until now for the past couple of decades. the solution was i was print more money. but now that the money printing is causing real inflation and exacerbating all the problems, that solution is only going to make the problem worse. but of course, that's what they'll do. that's what the lease will do. that's what they plan to do . any inconvenience that falls them, they will answer well, we need to print more money, print more money and the food will get in shorter supply and workers will disappear

. and the situation get worse and worse because it doesn't have money. printing never worked long. well, oh seem wrong. oh, just don't hold any rules. the easiest to shave out disdain becomes the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah

ah . or is james all down through here? hello, mr. larry over here. so your camps are always a little nicer than this. this is evidence of absolute poverty. just mayor. people in our city and other cities all across america are living like this, where the original need and village that opened up in 2018. and right now there's 31 homes on the property. it's a little over 4 acres with $31.00 homes. and a community center. unfortunately, a lot of people don't make it out of edition more homelessness. my, i'm really happy it made it. oh dad you

with ah, ah, a capacitive matic one, but also a path of defense and deterrence. united states and nato mix tool called diplomacy with threat such that they submit that written response to rush the security red line. aliens refusing to visit earth because of russia alleged invasion plans. the west, the major pays to lose the plot completely of ukraine publishing a host of absurd and inaccurate stories over the crisis of news we speak to. it's helped us vaccine next. but who explains why he's putting these better than pfizer against the only trans.
