the name of your study. look forward to recruiting and kelly retorted coroner massage tissue. that sounds good and keep to learn. that should be best to cut them up another. you know that i'm guessing you may hear that i think the president abiding desperately looking for backup plans for european energy. if a gas applies from russia are disrupted. and if this situation,

ukraine escalate. what could this mean for us allies in the middle of winter? and one wonders at what price america will have to pay for the middle east. because as the past has shown, not always in dollars and cents. spotify has crossed the line and didn't realize, as another obscure artist says, they are going to pull their music. if the popular podcast of joe rogan remains on the platform and how he's seen the thousands of truckers who have been protesting the vaccine mandates required by the canadian government across the border. well, the freedom convoy has become so big just injured. i was being forced out of his residence. we'll give you the latest and if any progress is being made between the 2 side, i'm sky now he's in the stores and more on today's news. let's get started. ah, it was a busy day for the united states,

where it come to foreign policy president joe biden, and could tars, amir, a chic tommy bin hod off. honey met on monday at the white house to discuss a number of topics, namely, gas concerns. in the aftermath of a potential escalation, all around ukraine. now this would not be the 1st time to tar, came to the aid of us last summer. it played a very big role in the u. s. military escalation, evacuations, and i can stand. it has the biggest american air base in the middle east, and it served as a go between for the us and the taliban, and to try to wind down america's longest war. cutter is a good friend and reliable and capable partner. and i'm notifying congress that i will designate, cut our as a major non nato ally to reflect the importance importance of our relationship. and meanwhile, the us called for a meeting with the un security council. on monday, representatives from russia, the united states had a heated exchange all before the united nations is not an acceptable interference

in the domestic affairs of state state, but an attempt to mislead the international community on the situation in the region. and also the reason for the current global tensions. furthermore, the open format and proposed by the us when they think streaming and really helping, making this example of megaphone diploma. you've heard from our russian colleagues that were calling for this meeting to make you all feel uncomfortable. imagine how uncomfortable you would be if you had $100000.00 troops sitting on your border or, and continue to follow the development from that meeting. but in the meantime, i want to take a little deeper and bring in our tea. a senior writer boy show my leech. thanks for joining me now. that's great to have you upset. what do you believe is the real core reason why president biden met with the mirror of guitar at the white house?

i think part of it had to do was to taliban, i think part of it had to do with some sort of back channel diplomacy to iraq with the wrong because the ca, tardies share custody of one of the largest natural gas fields in the world with the iranians, i think part of it as report studies on him as sources and mainstream media have suggested has to do with the possible bids to have the categories step up and sort of supplant natural gas to europe. if in the eventually gets cut off by the conflict over ukraine accepted, of course that's a non starter because they just don't have it. well, that's a question about this. do you believe tommy, this has to do directly with what's going on with ukraine, or would this meeting have happened anyways? i think it would have happened anyway, because biden is still trying to get back into the iran nuclear deal that was disavowed by president trump in 2018 except for the past year. the around the iranians have made it abundantly cleared and what they expect us to do is rejoined

deal. and washington has been trying to condition that with some sort of iranian behavior. and aaron saying, no your to was violated the deal. we're not going to do anything until you get back into compliance. so it's been a nonstarter all along. but i think the rumors that this is being done to offset gas supply are meant to bolster the war hawks in washington and, and tell the europeans that all we've got your back except again, they don't. well and that's the thing. rushes officially responded to the us proposal on ukraine. we see that had just come out. but that being said, do you think that they're watching? could they even care right now? what's going on between united states and the issues going on between the u. s. and guitar, this meeting happening, or is this something once again, we're finding a lot of this stuff is happening to mainstream media over here at the allies over by ukraine are going what are you doing? why are you causing this much messier? so the russians know the score on the gas supplies the categories, basically have a very small amount of gas on the spot market. they vote, they've already pre sold most of it to asian customers. it would basically mean the

us going to china and saying, oh yeah, please don't sell a sell us back at the gas you bought from the categories so we can resell it, to europe at a premium and back stab your russian friend. that's not going to happen and everybody knows that's going to happen except people in washington, obviously. but i think in terms of ukraine, it's funny that ukrainian themselves have been saying for the past week, begging the west to turn to turn down to war rhetoric and think there's no imminent invasion. this is something your media made up by misinterpreting our remarks. they're happy to get the weapons and the other equipment and financial aid obviously. but they're also saying that the financial aid is the least us can do after crashing the ukrainian markets with all this talk about war. so it's one of those, the ukrainians themselves don't seem concerned about this stuff and have basically been saying, you know, cool it, whereas the biden white house and the state department, and the pentagon have been basically beating the drums of war for the past 3 months . and the only conclusion that one can reach,

given everything's been spinning domestically, is that they're desperate for distraction from all of their domestic policy issues . i honestly thought that this was going to go away when do ukrainians complained about it. and when justice breyer announces retirement thinking, go okay, well great, they're going to jump on a domestic issue, not but no, they went right back to ukraine. and that's not really surprising because of people who the same people who are running say, department, now, are the people who screwed up ukraine policy back in 2014. well, and that's the thing is, this is all goes back to energy and oil. that's obviously pot while they want to say there's other reasons this probably the main core reason why president by met with the emir today. but the reality is america gets 20 percent of her energy from russia. currently, at least that's just straight out of the gate. what happens, why is it that americans think that if this does escalate and they cut off the supply to europe, they're not going to cut off the supply to american. how is america going to supplement that? let's, let's assume the world war 3 using breaking out. but let's assume that the gas is cut off and it doesn't escalate any further. even if guitar had the gas,

it cannot possibly deliver it. want to tease at a price points that would be acceptable, neither to the us or to europe is just a fact. and i, this is alters for show, don't the, i'm sure there's other deals that the categories are looking to make. they're looking for some $600000000.00 worth of drones from the u. s. they're looking for they just announced a deal with boeing to buy some more jetliners going desperately needed because they need to cash. but again, everybody's looking for something for themselves here. i'm just not sure that the biden ministration is where, how much people outside of the washington bubble are aware that asking for guitar to replace russia is an energy supplier. is the equivalent of asking the law office to supply the 6th army at styling gra. well, i kind of, that's a great, great action analogy to it. you know, i find it interesting. i believe that we should be able to multitask, but we do have this powder keg thing right now between ukraine and what's happening

there. why would he want to start if this is also this back order to run? why would he want to reignite that powder keg and have to going at the same time? do they actually think that iran, seeing what's going on right now in ukraine, would take it would even want to get involved in that? that triangle. i think the state department is just desperate for a wind, but we've known for quite some time did their individual offices don't talk with each other very well. so maybe the people who run to iran desk are like, well here gregory, great opportunity to score when in the middle east. but the russia desk is going all know we're, we're going to do our own thing. who knows? it's just one of those. these are the same people who were running the show back can during the obama administration, and they created quite a mess back then, especially with ukraine and expecting them to fix it now is, is a total order, i think. well that i think it's very interesting that you have france and germany, and those leaders say we want nothing ever because they know if war was to rec, at it'd be in their toria torrie. they're also saying the right, if i have calm down the state of the tip of magically u. s. i mean, our gas prices here in the u. s. are terrible right now and only get worse in case

of a war, but the european stand to actually freeze during the winter, so they know what they're talking about. well, and you know what you're talking about. i appreciate you coming and chatting with us. thanks, man. scottie on another front, joe rogan, a former us, the commentator comedian and media personality. well, he's become the center of coven 1900 fact checkers as podcast. the joe rogan experience which hears on spotify invited guest to make comments about topics that are now being labeled, mis information on to a show. the problem i have with the term misinformation, especially today, is that many of the things that we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact. hi. and he's wanted to live through it . now the topics that he's referring to as previously being concert miss information and get you kicked off social media and possibly lose your job. are vaccinated. not being able to get her spread, coven, we found out to be true. cloth, mass not working. guess what? they don't, and the virus originated in a lab. it did all by the way,

are now widely accepted as a factor and under investigation. also want to add to this line right here, also right information the treatment for cobra right now is also turning out to be quite true. but the pressure is now on spotify. as $270.00 doctors have signed a letter requesting the platform, a stop the spread of distrust and boot rogan and musicians like neil young who are leaving the platform in spite of eyes now losing money and the stock market. well, for now. now the podcast on the platform came up with a compromise to rectify the situation. so discuss a podcast from south through burke, west hudson. this is my show with drew bar quest through. thanks for joining you already tell by my commentary how i feel about this position. my theory is what we have here on the show. trust the audience, give them the information. consider them to be intelligent enough to make their own decision. and i think that's how joe rogan obviously looked at this spot. if i had

that concept. but the music and the audio platform spotify is going to include just like everything else, these days, advisory content flag to those podcasts that talk about cobit id. not only i would like to say not only talk about it, but talk against what the traditional talking points have been. it will be a 1st of its kind warning will be about the virus and not about other potential content violations. now spot, if i says we are working to add a content advisory to any podcast episode that include a discussion about cobra, one hub cheap, it's right for spotify to do this by not cancel podcast, but sending a warning before every time that it's played or is this actually the 1st step toward censorship, which by the way, things like youtube have done twitter, facebook. everybody's done a version of this. again, somebody they don't like know exactly. well it's, it's absolutely a 1st step and look at it shouldn't be surprising that spotify is doing anything there. they are. a more woke company they, they foster more of the same idea that the work left cherishes,

and doors and spreads throughout throughout the week. and we see on social media, all that stuff so. so seeing this happen is not surprising at all. what's going to be so interesting to see is how they handle that. i mean, they put a $100000000.00 into getting joe rogan off of other platforms. so he could be very specifically and exclusively theirs, and kind of is a pillar for them and he has to all of your points earlier look, this is one of the most reasonable guys in america and the fact that they're going after him and his conversations with guests who by the way, have different ideas, we're all still allowed to. it might not be long, but we're still allowed to have her own ideas. this is a good thing. it's going to be really interesting to see. i'm dying to see if they take another step after this. well, and i don't believe anybody could be another joe rogan, but it's also about what comes next. the next person that tries themselves to recreate this is kind of worrying to them. don't do it. don't try because you're not going to make any money to support your family by doing it. 0100 percent look, i mean i can tell you 1st hand what we've experienced on youtube and other platforms. and we've, we, we won't get into details obviously,

but we have been absolutely annihilated just for having different opinions and values on what we think this country is who we've always been all of that. so they are going to, they're actively doing it on a, on a daily basis. and when you see someone like joe rogan, who, the kingmaker, and by the way, it's hilarious that they think that they can cancel joe rogan, who is going to be bigger than their platform. and it's only getting a louder voice with all of this, but it's absolutely a warning shot in these people don't care about making money. they care about their values, which are goals and ideals that are going to radically and fundamentally change this country. and absolutely, if you go on to those platforms, you have to expect if you talk about things that they don't think are on narrative that you are going to get punished and then eventually build it. well. and that's a big question in general. and himself actually weighed in on this question, and he's saying that, you know, that he's actually going to start like screaming his, his guest on this. here's what joe rogan actually had to say. it's a strange responsibility to have this many viewers and listeners. it's very strange

and it's nothing that i prepare for, and it's nothing that i ever anticipated. i am going to do my best in the future to balance things out. i'm going to do my best. but my point of doing this is always just to create interesting conversations and ones that i hope people enjoy and then boom, it's become what it is today, which is like some out of control juggernaut that i barely have control of. was that an apology? a lot of a lot of people that are pro coded, these sort of regulations are going yet look, apologize. he's in the wrong. they're using this to put it now in his coffin. is that what that sounded like to? did he go weak? you know, i, well, i don't know if you, when we are not, we'll see what he does with actually his bookings and his guessing to show content moving forward. but he also called out like what is misinformation? and as you said in the early going, who gets sort of define what misinformation is? jose having conversations with people and when that's not acceptable anymore in this country, we've got a real problem and newsflash for everyone listening. that's where we are. it's

terrifying this, the state that we're in, well, and i wanted to talk about the ro couple, but honestly, they don't matter in this situation. they're not doctors, they don't matter about actually giving me the vice real quick last word to you on this one. here's the thing, is it your, are you responsible for every word that your guess you have come on your show? do you want people on your show that actually 100 percent agree with you or do you want to give a wide variety on your own podcast? you know exactly, you want people to be themselves. i'm the bigger look i fought for this country. so people could have their own opinions. i think they should have their own opinions. they should express their own opinions and they should also be open to changing and altering their opinions. i, my problem is that i think we're, we're, we're having this struggle in this country is, is everyone trying to force their opinions and ideals and everyone else? that's not who we are. that's not, we're about. i think that we just need to all mind her own business and get back to being normal human being. let's make american normal again. that's kind of the rallying cry that we need. well, i need for someone to not let your opinions. they turn off the clicker and they

turn it off. that's up to them, at least out there. that's why i appreciate you coming to show and giving us some good frank conversation. a lot of attention going to the freedom truck per truck or if you are protesting against canadian vaccine mandate, we're going to bring you the latest after the break. with awe. l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to great trust, rather than fear with take on various job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with

a robot must protect its own existence with more panic as in the air, but not in care of. apparently, nato says this united against why she's so called aggression against ukraine. but alliance members in differing even contradictory ways. washington in london, appeared to what confrontation their allies, not so much. you're chatting with them from boshoway, she can. hi sharon, my name is rob with me. right?

yeah. it's like with she been close, i'm online and kelly recruiting, coordinate as with my tissues as thousands of london keep to i learned that a musician who gave us times to i must be happy. i had almost sat my reading off that i'm with you, me actually a professor pushing mom with mock up the money that i can let, let miss with ah stadium apartments or just from trudeau,

has just announced to you that cobit positive. this right as the freedom convoy, a sparked by a vaccine mandate for truckers crossing the u. s. canada border rolls through the country's capital of ottawa. i trudeau declared the mandate earlier this month requiring unvaccinated canadian truckers crossing between the united states and canada to quarantine at once. they return home at moves, sparking outrage and over the weekend as thousands of protesters gathered in canada's capital to demonstrate where they remain. trisha has more on this story. oh, after a week long drive across canada, a convoy a big rigs arrived at the nation's capital to protest vaccine mandates, mast and locked down over the weekend. i understand. i said you money like what? you know what there's no, there's no reason my freedom as well. oh, sounds of honking horns echoed around ottawa's parliament hill were thousands gathered. you can see the area flooded with protesters as well as laurie drivers

from the freedom convoy. some even compared the restrictions to fascism. browning bothers of our country as the principal vendor with a we have a band with we're no longer there. we don't say anything in this country. the freedom convoy a loosely organized convoy of trucks that set out last weekend from british columbia in protest against vaccine mandates that requires truckers entering canada to be fully vaccinated or face testing and quarantine requirements for the mandate to right now, a lot of this is bruce williams, a convoy of trucks and cars parked in and around parliament hill with some parking on the grounds of the national war memorial. some demonstrators comparing the coven restrictions to fascism and made use of nazi symbols on upside down canadian

flags, while many carried explosive laden signs targeting canadian prime minister justin trudeau, several police investigations now underway. let me be very clear. you are prepared to investigate arrest if necessary, charge and prosecute anyone who acts by weight or breaks the law in the demonstrations or in association with the demonstrations. canadian prime minister justin trudeau told reporters last week at that 90 percent of the countries were all ready vaccinated. meantime, cheetos office has not disclose the location of the prime minister whose family lives about a mile from parliament hill in new york, trinity chavez, r t. to me 3 last car, 1st a lawyer, journalist and a resident of canada joins us now to talk about what is the feeling of the majority and canada right now from your perspective. well, i think, i think it's fair to say that most canadians,

certainly this is my impression support and are fully made it to the fax machine. they believe like, right the that the back it's safe. there is a feeling of frustration with people. ready and vaccinated. so i think that that is the majority. and i think most people the country to be frank based on what i've seen or not sympathetic with the message of the people in ottawa or to are part of tracking conference. and it's really sort of been difficult for us to sit through and have serious discussion about the issue they're raising is as your colleague just reported, there are quite troubling things happening around that protest. for example, people displaying. busy the swastika people displaying the confederate flag that comment about, you know, the country based on to do it today. christian ethics that certainly is not a welcoming sentiment for people who don't come out of that tradition. but it's also true that the 4 message of that convoy is that there is

a serious ethical issue around back. and i think that that is getting lost in discussion and emotion. it is, you know, however, it community may be to the back seat or but you're leaving them and i, myself is actually my courage. people actually, you know, it's, i have some discomfort, i must say with forcing people who are not working in the healthcare industry. we're not working long term care facilities with the other very vulnerable populations. for example, truckers spend most of the time by themselves in trucking. ready i have some discomfort as a canadian, incorporating them into being actually i would prefer to do everything we can to persuade them and to ensure that they accept vaccination if we can't on an informed consent. ready basis, well, at this point though, concerned with 2 years, we're almost a year into the vaccine being out there. i don't know what else is going to convince them based off of what has already been present, especially when you are seeing the rise in case of those vaccinated still, getting coven overall is continuing to decrease. and actually the effect is having

on society. but once again, this all comes down to leadership and center does saying he won't meet with the truckers because of their hateful right. or if those things are legitimately apart, it's kind of where it's very small percentage of it. is that even a smart way to handle the situation, or did he just ad kerosene to the fire? let me just tell you. they've now announced a caravan coming from california all the way to dc the united states is about to have the exact same situation. and people are angry about, so he just dismissed it. say you were going to talk to it. is that the right way? a leader of a country should dismiss a percentage who believe who are against the policies he's putting into place? i think a leader to leadership is to have a nuanced message that recognizes the complexity of that entire constituency. there are people in there who have a very offensive message. he's right to condemn them. he's right to say, i'm not going to write to them. but there are also people in there who are just hard working canadians and have a different view about vaccine mandates. and i think you have to find a way to have a conversation with the population and not simply tar them all with the same brush,

which is something that unfortunately, i think political establishment candidates tend to do throughout the well. and that's the thing that i think the mandates have done because people already distrusted the govern, which is the majority of people that did not get the vaccine. when the government comes in and forces you to get it, or you lose your livelihood of support of your family, that does not help make people feel more comfortable with this mandate. and i think that's where the problem is. with this, the communication has been either do this or else that never works in leadership. i don't care what country it is, but what role i, you know, in the end of this is what role do you believe that the canadian media is playing and is, are they giving it a fair option on both sides? or they are kind of in the pocket, like we say, a lot of the mainstream media is here in the us in the government side. well, when it comes to coverage of the pandemic, i think that they have tended overwhelmingly to be firmly ensconced in the camp of the government. and so i think that the media, again, they're entirely just bringing to the attention canadians. there are certain person

to participate in the convoy who are doing some very offensive things who are being very offensive. that's just but i think they're not doing their job and saying that there's also a big issue that many of those people are concerned about. and as i said, you know, the risk of much of it is the ethical issue of whether we should be coaching people . busy to accept into their bodies, the pharmaceutical product, which whether rightly along with the trust, especially when they are not working on a regular basis with vulnerable groups in our society. that is an important issue which the canadian media have, in my opinion, not done an adequate job of covering or doing a particularly for job covered. right. well, still the communication. i appreciate you for joining us. give us a canadians perspective. thank you for that's all the time we ever say show. let's continue the conversation fall mentor at scottie, and he uses the hash tag team and b h. make sure you download the portal dot to be app apple android device. thanks for watching. ah,

ah. with all this is driven by dreamers shaped banks. concur some of those with there's things we dare to ask. it's an open secret that private military companies have been playing a role in our complex world wide. u. s. government doesn't track

a number of contractors it uses in places iraq or afghanistan, united states army and the military and general. so reliance on the private sector . i would call that dependency. but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't out west and private military companies, cannon in their turn, views, so cool subcontractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been charles soldiers. i says i was a chad as well as my job professional job is with before you move wouldn't feel quoted. it would be fun with no loan to walk through a choice to be merciless killing machines. now they fight and die in other people's was people carol, lot one,

a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country and then we start asking ourselves, why did they die? why do what were they fighting for? nobody bothers asked about that. contractors a canada as a prime minister tries to slag off an escalating protest movement as a mob of racists who steal food from the homeless. have more than 10000 truckers and their supporters rally against no job. no job mandates that the parliament building an ottawa but the prime minister words seem to have only poured fuel on the fire. it breaks my heart because my government supposed to have my back. he's calling me racist. extremist. ah, what have i done to deserve that? and today to speak we are standing together.
