10:30 am
our jews are usually the 1st ones to get hurt. and in america, there always was a brief interest. society wasn't a problem, but today the extremist on both sides of voices are getting stronger and stronger. goldberg, have apologized, as you said, for her words, so many have been cancelled for similar statements. do you think she might suffer the same fate? no, i don't think so. i think because she came out with such a strong statement of apology, i don't think she'll be canceled. she's also too strong a personality that it's not likely she would be cancelled. i think with the can, i think we've reached the, the height of the cancel culture so to speak. people started to be a little bit wary, a little bit, realizing that people make mistakes. and if it's not an underlying of you're not underlying, we re substantial semi white nationalist or the reverse, then we'll give you a little bit of a pass. not too much, obviously. but look, her statement came from that one point ignorance,
10:31 am
which is very troubling. that someone who was so involved in the media world, internet educated person could have make that mistake. and more importantly, one support a sense that the jews part of the white establishment in america. and that's a real problem in terms of anti semitism. and it's, it's really grown so radically and so rapidly in the last couple of years. it's really hard to imagine. how do you feel the u. s. has a particular interpretation of the holocaust compared to different parts of the world? no, i don't know if they have a different interpretation of the holocaust. look, we have an issue all over the world where time is passing. the number of survivors is dwindling to right, right. if you look the difference, of course, between the united states and let's say russia, poland, or even france is the house, didn't take place in the united states that took place overseas by phone with else . and of course, that create some sort of a difference. but also it was both american and russian troops that liberated was
10:32 am
left us. we were a korean jury and said it's probably about a 1000000 joke, extermination because those 2 armies against the managed overturn, over on germany. so there was always a certain price that i think, tried both correctly, both in the united states, and i think also in the former soviet, in russia today that the army succeeded in overcoming the nazis and saving a significant number of jews by doing so. so i don't think is that i think we really, we really in a situation where the holocaust is fading into history and it's very hard as someone to teach us. history is very hard to get people interested in history and be most importantly, understand history to put things into context and way too often. we take a certain event and take a totally out of context. and kind of context is really the key to understanding our past and probably understanding our future as well. mark, human editor of history, essential a thank you for joining us on the program. we appreciate it. my pleasure. and thank you for joining us. had plenty more stories to be found on our website r t dot com,
10:33 am
but we'll be back in 30 minutes. would you like me to join me every thursday on the alex simon show when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business, i'll see you then me and this is so smart, city is a city that's using technology to make people's life easier to have beer, collecting a lot of data to try to improve the way things are. in theory, these big organizations that are now committing and pulling all that data together, they're not looking at you as an individual, necessarily lose data being collected or zoom rich data. that there's a real possibility of privacy violation. i'm not something most of us wouldn't want
10:34 am
to wells transparent to prove that we must live with communist surveillance, as president biting 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 you? i live in the middle of winter, and one wonders at what price america will have to pay to the middle east. because as the past is shown, not always in dollars and cents. plus, spotify has crossed the line and didn't realize another obscure artist says they are going to pull their music. if the popular pie guest of joe rogan remains on the platform. and have you seen the thousands of truckers who have been protesting the vaccine mandates required by the canadian government across the border or the freedom convoy has become so big justin to ago is being forced out of his residence
10:35 am
. we will 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 new views. let's get started. ah, it was a busy day for the united states when it come to foreign policy. president joe biden and guitars and mir ashika. tommy been ahmad. i'll honey met on monday at the white house to discuss a number of topics in the gas concerns. in the aftermath of a potential escalation all around ukraine. now this would not be the 1st time guitar came to the aid of us last summer. it played a very big role in the u. s. military escalation evacuations. in afghanistan. it has the biggest american air base in the middle east and it served as a go between for the us and the taliban as it tried to wind down america's longest
10:36 am
war cutters. a good friend and reliable and capable partner. i'm notifying congress that i will designate color as a major non nato ally to reflect the important important relationship. meanwhile, the u. s. called for meeting with the un security council on monday, representatives from russian 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 deployment. you've heard from our russian colleagues that were calling for this meeting to make you all feel uncomfortable.
10:37 am
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
10:38 am
a non starter because they just don't have it. well, and that's a question about this. do you believe the time this has to do directly with what's going on with your grade? or what this meeting of 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 we joined the 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 a gas supply are meant to bolster the war hawks in washington and, and tell the europeans that, oh, we've got your back except again, they don't. well, and that's the thing. russia is officially responded to the u. s. proposal our new crime. we see that had just come out. but that being said,
10:39 am
do you think that they're watching? could they even care right now what's going on? but in the united states and the issues going on between the u. s. and guitar, this meeting happening ours. this is 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 of 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 us. 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 of torn to turn down to war rhetoric and saying there's no eminent 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
10:40 am
obviously. but they're also saying that the financial aid is the least to 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's been putting 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 just people who the same people who are running state department now, or to 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 and met with the emir today. but the reality is america gets 20 percent of her energy
10:41 am
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 like one 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 that 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 been out a deal at 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,
10:42 am
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 lift off it to supply the 6th army at stalling 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 pattern tag thing right now between ukraine and what's happening there, why would you want to start if is also this back door to ron? why would he want to reignite that powder keg and have to going at the same time? do they actually think that iran no 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, aren't great opportunity to score when in the middle east, but the russia desk is going well, no, 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,
10:43 am
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 work out, it would be in their toria, tory, they're also saying the red light of calm down the chain of this type of magically u. s. i mean, our gas prices here in the u. s. are terrible right now. and they'd only get worse in case of a war, but the europeans 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. thanks. got on another front, joe rogan, a former u. s. c commentator, comedian, immediate personality. well, he's become the center of covey, 900 fact checkers. as podcast. the joe rogan experience which airs on spotify invited guests to make comments about topics that are now being labeled, mis information onto 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
10:44 am
a short while ago are now accept. that is 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 what gets 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 applied form, a stop the spread of distrust and boot, rogan and musicians like neil young who are leaving the platform in spotify is now losing money in the stock market. well, for now, now the podcast on the platform came up with
10:45 am
a compromise to rectify the situation. so discuss a podcast from south tree 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 the 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 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 include a discussion about cobra, one hub, it's right for spotify to do this by not cancel podcast, but sending
10:46 am
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 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
10:47 am
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 gold and ideals that are going to radically and fundamentally change this country. and absolutely, if you go onto those platforms,
10:48 am
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. going to actually weighed in on this question, and he 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, 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
10:49 am
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 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 guest said 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 get, 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
10:50 am
altering their opinions. i, my problem is, 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 american normal again. that's kind of the rallying cry that we need while any i for someone to not listen 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 on the show and giving us some good frank conversation. a lot of attention going to the freedom tra truckers who are protesting against canadian vaccine mandate. we're going to bring you the latest after the break. the every country in the world will eventually make big coin legal,
10:51 am
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 that may wait for until it's at $51015000000.00 coin before they finally wake up. ah, stadium apartments or just some trudeau has just announced his cobit positive. this right as the freedom convoy sparked by a vaccine mandate for truckers crossing the u. s. canada border roles 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 the move, sparking outrage and over the weekend as the thousands of protesters gathered in
10:52 am
canada's capital to demonstrate where they remain. treasure 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, mast and locked down over the weekend. i understand. i said you money like what? you know, what? there's no reason my breathing was low. 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 down the, the principal vendor with a we have a band with we're no longer there. we don't see anything in this country.
10:53 am
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 faced testing and quarantine requirements for the mandate to right now that's going on a lot of disney ruth rios, 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
10:54 am
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 meet 3 last car, 1st a lawyer turn off an 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 group. they believe like, right the that the back and safe there is a feeling of frustration with people and vaccinated. so i think that that is the majority you 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 or part of striking con,
10:55 am
which 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 report it, 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 team based on the day of 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 poor message of that convoy is that there is a serious ethical issue around back. and i think that that is getting lost in discussion of emotion. it is, you know, however it community may be to the back seat or leaving them myself and fax it and encourage people to actually that. ready 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,
10:56 am
truckers and most of the time by themselves and trucking. i have some discomfort as a canadian and coursing them into being actually 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 basis. well, at this point i can serve in 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 it's 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,
10:57 am
so he just dismissed him 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 a true 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 who's right to condemn them, 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 that population and not simply tar them all with the same brush, which is something that unfortunately i think political establishment canada has tended to do throughout the well. and that's the thing that i think all these 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, it 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
10:58 am
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. 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 that there are certain person to participate in that convoy who are doing some very offensive say, who are. busy being very expensive, that's just what i think they're not doing their job and saying that there's also a legitimate ethical 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 courting people. busy to accept into their bodies of pharmaceutical products which, where the regular one we didn't trust, especially when they are not working on
10:59 am
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 covered and telecommunication. i appreciate you for joining us. give us a canadians perspective. thank you for that's all the time we have today show. let's continue the conversation. follow me on twitter at scottie and use the hash tag team and d h. make sure you download the portal dot to be app apple android device. thanks for watching. ah, ah. with
11:00 am
bring you the very latest every out the day. this is all national from everyone. here with a m p, the bloss perkins, p. m for missing a key call with vladimir putin on ukraine. because far as johnson was made in the policy gave scandal. president putin say is hungary will now enjoy guaranteed long term gas supplies of the budapest times up a major deal with russian. and if you join gas problems, getting hungarians, the cheapest price in the u, and no job but no job, no way. canadian truck is continue to take a stand against kobe mandates on the scathing. was that the prime minister?
