for the us and the taliban as i tried to wind down america, the 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 meeting with the un security council. on monday, representatives from russia, the united states had a heated exchange. all before the united nations is unacceptable interference in the domestic affairs of state data, 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 for the diversion proposed by the us when they think streaming and hoping he's 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 troops sitting on your border or agitator. follow the developments from that meeting. but in the meantime, i want to take a little deeper and bring in our tea a senior writer, boys show mileage. thanks for joining me. no, that's great to have you set. what do you believe is the real core reason why president biden met with the amir 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 categories share custody of one of the largest natural gas fields in the world with the iranians, i think part of it as report studies anonymous 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. except that of course, that's a non starter because they just don't have it. well, and that's a question about this. do you believe the timing of this has to do directly with what's going on with ukraine, or would this media have happened anyways? i think you would have happened anyway, because biden is still trying to get back into the nuclear deal that was disavowed by president trump in 2018 except for the past year. the around, the iranians have made it abundantly clear, and what they expect us to do is rejoined the deal. and washington has been trying to condition that with some sort of iranian behavior. and aaron saying, no, your 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 old we've got your back except again, they don't well and that 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 the 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, the 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 tories basically have a very small amount of gas on the spot market today. 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. the gas that you bought from the categories so we can re sell it to europe at a premium and backstab your russian friends. that's not going to happen and everybody knows that's not going to happen except people in washington, obviously. but i think in terms of ukraine, he, it's funny that ukrainians themselves have been saying for the past week, begging the west, a torn toned down to war rhetoric and saying there's no imminent invasion to 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 that financial aid is the least us can do after crashing to 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, where's 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 that's been happening 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, okay, well great, they're going to jump on a domestic issue now. but no, they went right back to ukraine, and that's not really surprising because the people who the same people who are running state 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 went to say, there's other reasons this probably the main reason why president by and met with

the amir 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 right quantities and a price points that would be acceptable. neither to the us or to europe is just a fact. and this is all just 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 announce a deal 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 to loose off it to supply the 6th army at styling gra. well, i did kind of that the great great action analogy to it. you know, i find it interesting. i believe that we should be able to multitask. but when you have this powder keg thing right now between ukraine and what's happening there, why would you 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 know, seeing what's going on, where 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 well, no, 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 like that. i think it's very interesting that you have france and germany and those that are saying we want nothing ever because they know if war was to break out, it'd be in their toria, tory, they're also saying the right way of calm down the state of this diplomatically us, i mean, our gas prices here in the u. s. are terrible right now, and they 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. is cutting on another front, joe rogan, a former, you have the commentator comedian em media personality. well, he's become the center of coven 19 fact checkers as podcast. the joe rogan experience, which years 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 misinformation and what get you kicked off social media and possibly lose your job are vaccinated not being able to get her spread coded. 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 added this line right here. also i implemented the treatment for koby right now is also turning out to be quite true. but the pressure is now on spotify. as 270 doctors have signed a letter requesting applied form, a stop the spread of distrust and boot rogan and musicians like neil young who are leaving the platform in spite of i is now losing money in the stock market.

well, for now, now the podcast on the platform came up with a compromise to rectify the situation. so discuss is a podcast from south through burke, west hudson. this is my show with drew bar quest through thanks for joining you already chopped by my commentary. how i feel about this position. my theory is what we have you 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. the talk about kobe denali. 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 includes a discussion about coven 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 that 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 there's 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 is this 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 king maker, 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 onto 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. and joe rogan 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, it's nothing that i prepared 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, the sort of regulations are going yes,

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 it of, you know, 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 want to talk about the real 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 guest 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? yeah, 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 that 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 our own business and get back to being normal human being. let's make america normal again. that's kind of the rallying cry that we need. while i need for someone to not let your opinions, they turn off the quicker and they turn it off. that's up to them, at least out there. that's why i appreciate you coming out and giving us some good frank conversation. a lot of attention going to the freedom tra truckers who are protesting against canadian vaccine mandates. we're going to bring you the latest after the break. the

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me every country in the world will eventually make big coin legal, tender. the only difference will be at what price we have el salvador, making the move in the $30000.00 to $40000.00 range in united states and may wait for it until 251015 1000000 coin before they finally wake up. oh is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer?

isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? 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. this is so smart, city is a city that is using technology to make people's life easier to happier, collecting a lot of data to try to improve the way things are in theory. these big organizations that are now amazing and pulling all that data together. they're not looking at you as an individual, necessarily lose data being collected or so much data that there's

a real possibility of privacy violation. i'm not something most of us wouldn't want to wells transparent, but we must live with permanent surveillance for ah said he apartments are destined trudeau has just announced his covert positive this right is the freedom con boy sparks wire vaccine mandate for truckers crossing the u. s. canada border role, so the country's capital of ottawa, 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 the move, sparking outrage and over the weekend as thousands of protesters gathered in canada capital to demonstrate where they remain. trained chavez has more on the story.

oh, after a week long drive across canada, a convoy, a big rigs arrived at the nation's capital to protest vaccine mandates, mass, and lockdown over the weekend. i understand. i said you money like what? you know, what? there's no reason he was 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 compare the restrictions to fascism. browning bothers of our home boundaries. the principal vendor with her and we have a band with we're no longer there. we don't say anything in this country. the freedom convoy a loosely organized tomboy 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 . so right now i think it's printing model. disney was 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 explicit late in science, 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 can prosecute anyone who acts by weight or breaks the law in the demonstrations or in association with the demonstrations. canadian prime minister just entered o, told reporters last week at that 90 percent of the countries were all ready

vaccinated. meantime, shadows 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. dmitri last car fis, a lawyer turn off an resident of canada, joins us now to talk about this. 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 group that they believe quite right the that the back and safe there is a feeling the frustration that people. ready can use 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 a part of the striking con. and it's really sort of been difficult for us to sit through and have serious discussion about the issues the raising is,

as your colleague just reported, there are quite troubling things happening around that protests, for example, people displaying. busy the swastika people displaying the confederate flag that comment about, you know, the country based on deal christian ethics. that certainly is not a welcoming sentiment for people who don't have that tradition. but it's also true that the 4 message of that convoy is that there is a serious ethical issue around the action. and i think that that is getting lost in discussion and emotion. it is, you know, however, it community may be to the back or leaving them and i, myself is actually encouraged people actually that 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 and trucking. i have some discomfort

as a canadian in coursing them into the back seat and i would prefer to do everything we can to persuade them and to ensure that they accept vaccination if we can on an informed consent. ready it says, well, at this point i can serve 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 presented, 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 just central 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 saying you were going to talk to it. is that the right way? a leader of a country should dismiss a percentage? who are, who are guess the policies he's putting into place?

i think the 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 back 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 that population and not simply hard them all with the same brush, which is something that unfortunately i think political establishment canada has tend to do throughout the well. and that's the thing that i think all these mandates have done because people are a distrusted the gover, 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 it's, 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 u. s. and the government side. well, when it comes to coverage of the pandemic, i think that they have tended overwhelmingly to be firmly sconce in the camp. ready of the government. and so i think that the media, again, they're entirely just bringing to the attention canadians that there are certain person to participate in a convoy. we're doing some very offensive sayings who are being very offensive. that's just what 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 myself, it is the ethical issue of whether we should be causing people. busy to accept into their bodies, the pharmaceutical product which whether right 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, and they're doing a particularly poor job of covering it now. right. well, still the communication. i appreciate you for joining us. give us a canadians perspective. thank you. and that's all the time we have a show. let's continue the conversation. follow me on twitter at scott, end users, the hash tag team and make sure you download the portal to the app apple android device. thanks for watching. ah, when i will show the wrong one, i'll just don't move out the thing because after an engagement equals the trail, when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. it's

an open secret that private military companies have been playing a role in our conflicts world wide u. s. government doesn't track the number of contractors and uses in places iraq or afghanistan, united states army and the military in general is 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 can in their turn, views, so cool subcontractors from countries with trouble past the chances i quite good that they had also been child diligence. i see i was a child as my job professional joe is he's with when the whole $141.00, if i said that looked with no food, no minimum own la shy would join to be merciless killing machines. now they

fight and die in other people's was people carol, lot one and a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country and then we start asking yourself, why do they die? why do what would a fighting for? nobody bothers asked about that contractors ah ah ah mm

a geography the nucleus. you go john the nucleus. you and sending them from dosher she can. hi sharon, this is rob lee with me. right? yeah. that it's latoya. this is judy with she been wholesale and kelly recruiting quote, and i renewed my for the issue of that 1000th of love, didn't get to a lot of items for she'd be best and i must be lucky. i could fatima fact not enough that i'm looking. i don't know cuz he asked him to you me actually have to pay to put him on with the money that i can let through

algorithm. so neural networks have been following us everywhere. we look online because our relationships are what matters most us, and that's how we find meeting and how we make sense of our place in the work with silicon valley ceos don't mentioned in that slick presentations. however, the ghost workers who train the software humans are involved in every step of the process. when you're using anything online. what we're sold, as is, miracle of automation behind your screen is alone rubel workforce. that feeds algorithm as for next to nothing on a very good day, i could do $5.00 now. a really bad day. i could do $0.10 now. he's workers are invisible by design. it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of what's the new responsibility between those

who solicit this kind of work. and anita and those who do it a in and around the kremlin, will have no way to hide. we will make sure that those who share responsibility for sharon bearing, having the u. k. tough talking against russia has met with laughter from some unpaid who claimed the government simply trying to shift attention from the prime minister party gates capital. no job, no job, no way. canadian truckers continue to take a stand against mandates at the skating words of their prime minister. he's calling me a racist extra what have i done to deserve that from the u. s. is continuing.
