here, old man, for honking his horn. the movement is growing. we're going to bring you the latest from on the ground in ottawa, and here in the united states, multiple metropolitan cities had the vaccine and mass mandates remain in place. however, beginning in may, a $30000000.00 grant program will provide a pipe for users to smoke crack ok, crystal methamphetamine, and any illegal substance in them all. what's the goal of making a drug use a safer for addicts to advance racial equity? we're going to bring you the details and discuss with our panel. and the newly installed mayor of new york city wants to make its constituents eat a plant based diet. and he is starting his initiative with the children, including the 1st all begin friday in new york public school. is this a good idea? and is it more about politics than hell? we're going to ask the expert. i'm going to use a nice story to plus more in today's news. huge huge here on r t. the

news. the city of ottawa, canada police chief said at least $1800.00 more officers are needed to put an end to the ongoing freedom. com boy protest in the city as it stretches into the 2nd week. they are using the police, they have now. sure arrested 72 year old man and take oil cans and ticket truckers who are honking their horns and blocking streets. now the cavalry from the south has arrived. a group of men on horseback are now seen in the streets of auto and claim to have come to protect the truckers. also waving truck $24.00 and save america flags. our tv john heidi has been on the ground in ottawa tells us about a convoy truckers who are blocking a very important congress point between canada and the united states. a convoy

truckers block, the ambassador bridge, lincoln canada and the united states. it's one of the busiest points of commer stretching from windsor ontario to detroit. the move was in solidarity with the ongoing protest. in ottawa, hundreds of protesters remained on the streets of canada's capital city, despite demands to leave from government officials, including prime minister justin trudeau, individual or trying to blockade our economy. our democracy and our fellow citizens daily lives. it has to stop. hundreds of trots, remain parked in downtown ottawa, particularly the parliament hill area, which is behind me, been the main staging area, this protest. in fact, police estimate there's anywhere from $400.00 to $500.00 vehicles remaining while it was a much quieter atmosphere than we found over the weekend with thousands of supporters descended upon the city. the protest continues to draw in people like patrick mccue's. it's been very festive, very,

very carrying. thank you mr. trudeau. thank you, because you've draw thrown a draw string around. all of us canadians drawn us together is january 29th protest spread across canada from ottawa to vancouver. but ottawa remains the focal point. as the protest has morphed from a fight against vaccine mandates for truckers into a battle over the countries over all coven, 1000 restrictions. it's also sparked political debate about the freedom of speech and assembly in canada. while protesters carry signs demanding freedom many residents living in the downtown area say their freedoms have been infringed upon by the incessant noise and activity. and response. police stepped up enforcement measures such as cutting off fuel being brought in by volunteers to the truckers. the city of ottawa has also increased its finds a ticket for idling. vehicle for example, has been hike from $100.00 to $1000.00. clearly a move to squeeze the truckers. many of the stores, the bars,

the restaurants are remain close here in the downtown ottawa area with barricades just like these. blocking off most of the streets, ottawa's mayor suggested that perhaps a federal mediator should intervene. but other canadian officials have described the protests as an insurrection and siege marco mendocino, canada's public safety minister ruled out holding any talks for protest, organizer sank quote, it would sat a terrible precedent to say that if you show up to the nation's capital with heavy equipment and blockade the capital city that you can force reckless change in our public policy. still some of the more die hard protesters like this man would not give me his name, say they have no plans on leaving live free or die. i'm a supporter. absolutely, i'm a supporter for news hughes, john honey. what else? i can say the mandate and the past vaccine. the faxing mandates are the reason why commerce has stopped. but there can also still also be a small wind for the truckers because they've shown such force as tuesday,

the canadian premier scott mo, announced the providence infest scotch. owen will end the vaccine passport policy in just less than a week. it's time for each of us as individuals now to make a conscious effort, to treat everyone in our daily lives that we encounter equally. it's also time for the proof of vaccination. mandy tend so effective at midnight this sunday, february, the 13th, all provincial proof of vaccination requirements will end. okay, now as you can see about us map, the province of saskatchewan is a ways away from all of the protest. in ottawa, however, it seems they have heard the message loud and clear and what their commerce to start up again after 2 years. now, earlier we spoke with kelly and wolf. she is the ceo of the canadian democratic defense association. and we asked her about how we have now seen a bid tag. actually lind auto was government a hand effectively shutting down the social media pages crowdfunding pages in the

like. we asked kellyanne, who has helped organize these rallies and how demonstrators are getting their message out now. so we began protesting about 2 years ago against all these restrictions with the line canada dot com in toronto. and since then we have developed into a over 400 organizations nationally against all this. and i think that there was a little bit of disorganization when it came to what the end goal was. when everybody got to ottawa, i didn't see personally any solution in place in order to support the the actions of the truckers, which i thought was a bit absurd. however, working with the organizations across the country, we are going to be supplying solutions or to, to validate and justify all the actions of all these amazing canadians that have and that have really unified our country. now, the actions of the government are absolutely absurd. they have been violating the canadian bill of rights at every end. and i would like to appeal to our law enforcement officers out there right now and,

and say that you have it within your power to use your own discretion. and to absolutely ignore these. you orders of these, that the political interference that is, has happened to your institution. you know, our canadian law enforcement used to be one of the best institutions the entire world. but over the course of the last 2 years, i can tell you personally from having crackheads myself for protesting and being arbitrarily detained. you know, it's just, it's really sad what has become of our entire political structure from government overreach to government generosity. while the by administration is providing a crack pipes known as smoking kids to advance with their calling racial equity and the program isn't cheap. as are to correspond atocha, sweet. explain the $30000000.00 program will enable attics. to use these tools. offer alyssa drugs is heading out pipes and needles,

enabling those with substance addictions, or serve as a homeward duction to society. clearly the left and the right have 2 different reality is when trying to tackle this issue. and when it comes to injection science, the department of justice is wound ford, ignoring a federal appeals court ruling from last year. so is this program in the best interest for struggling attics? while a legal drugs continue to flow into the country and the effects are lethal, accidental drug overdose is the leading cause of death among those under the age of 45, with more than 70000 drug overdose death annually in the us. the tragic reality is also costly, according to the national center for drug abuse statistics, drugs cost the u. s. $272000000000.00 in 2017 alone as accounts for crime, health care needs, and the loss of work productivity. and now the biden administration is rolling out a $30000000.00 program that will provide attics smoking kits. and according to

those close to the project in health and human services, these kits can be used to smoke almost any elicit drug on its website. health and human services says the purpose of this program is to support community based overdose prevention programs, syringe, service programs, and other harm reduction services. it goes on to say it'll help control the spread of infectious diseases. the president claims this program will promote racial equity applicants of underserved communities classified as either african american or l g. b t q will reportedly have their grounds. critize, cities like san francisco and seattle already have programs that hand out smoking kits. but louisville kentucky decided to ban smoking kits they once allowed to be sold in convenience stores over fears. this would enable drug abuse. marilyn law makers scratch the idea of smoking kits after a local law enforcement. an african american leaders spoke out against it. and the so comes at a time when the justice department says it's currently evaluating the idea of more injection science throughout the country. after injection sites in new york were authorized to open last november to facilities have reportedly intervened in more

than 125 overdoses. but photos of a new linkage center in san francisco that promotes helping homeless addicts with drug rehab shows, needles, and trash surrounding the neighborhood. well, homelessness and drug abuse remains a complex issue. some are questioning if smoking kits and more injection science will help or only make matters worse. reporting for news these hughes and harvest suites are t we now one to bring in former georgia to representative reverend and mother d hawkins hague dog and taylor and concern. com normally go, thanks for joining me. thanks or have they helped me out with this? how can the federal government give giving glass pipes and making in they specifically say african americans in the l g b t q, community members a priority? how can they justify this is advancing racial equity? i see it. is it the exact opposite? and i almost feel like this is a trick question i now,

so i know so i understand the intent of what they are trying to do. the trying to make sure that those who have addictions will get clean drugs to be able to, to be in society and to be able to contribute back through jobs through being responsible, american citizens. but this is kind of a slippery slope because what we don't want to do is increase drug use one of the same time trying to save people from drug usage. and so, i mean, i really don't even know how to handle this, but i would not say that that is something that will create a close the, the world gap in the black community. i really just don't even know how to address is to be honest with you. well, and i think i'm, that's why a lot of people are scratch the hedge. there's multiple reasons why people go on. this just doesn't make sense. whoever treats one problem by giving more of it, but making it the good part of that problem. i don't know. that's why i bring you guys in to talk about some leak funds are coming actually from the surplus of money for coven relief. doesn't this just actually promote drug use by the government

within very vulnerable communities, especially like the homeless well on the 1st thing as far as the allocating them or reallocating them, called it on. remember, that was a big criticism of the top administration with trust that, that he was going to do things and reallocate coded funds and people railed against that. so now we're at a different place. these sort of harm reduction programs have been controversial for a while now. this isn't what biting is doing, isn't actually something new. but advocates within the a teaching community community have actually been pushing this in areas all around the country. in many cities have been actually gone this actual route. we know that that's a big thing that's happening right now on the west coast in los angeles and san francisco, and many of these other places. so yes, this sort of program, it's a new at all. but this notion that you're tying it to some type of racial equity. i cannot, we can't seem to get past the point where black people need help figuring out,

you know, we're not smart enough to figure out how to get an actual id to vote or many of those other things. it is really ridiculous. what divided administration is doing despite i may disagree with this whole program time get to raise in santa this is actually building bringing equity. we need to stop that when it comes to black people in minorities, in general, including women. we don't always need this type of help, and i'm a 2nd to insulting. but while i still have the, i want to switch gears on a bit and day, especially since you're down in georgia herself. i want to talk to you about the controversies regarding the statue of supreme court justice clarence thomas. there is one me, a records just been voted on through the state house there in his home state at the state capital d. do you agree with the justice clarence being honored because he's the 2nd black justice to sit on the highest court in the land, obviously in georgia is his home state. absolutely not. i think it is absolutely

ridiculous and absurd to give clarence thomas mind me anywhere in the country. i think even people, my name is it should be for people who are bringing the whole thing together. many people may not have life done among the pain junior in the beginning where we know that the goal was always to bring about peace and reconciliation in right or a certain demographic or people. clarence thomas has been very controversial from day one and we can not forget it. bad. he had charge of sexual harassment. while he, before he would have been appointed to the highest court and not for mister newman, who was about an ethical stuff going on as relates to your supreme court and her being a major lobby for meeting the rooms breaking before the supreme court. so i have no idea why they would do that, as many african americans maybe maximally laughed in faith in georgia all across

the country. the way he wrote as it relates to how is that impact? lackey. ok, mike, i have to ask you not only as a man as an african american, but as a conservative, how do you feel about this issue? should justice clarence thomas be honored with a statue in his home state? capital ga, ga, can make this decision on their own. and if they choose to honor tom done justice thomas, i think it's very appropriate and keep in mind this is the 1st conservative like justice that we actually have on the supreme court. and despite whatever your ideological positions are, we should be able to actually honor the fact that he really did something that was, he's done something that's really extraordinary. and so whether you agree with his, you know, his ideology or not, yes, of course, the state of georgia should arrest a statute on behalf of clarence thomas. and keep in mind, we're taking down statues of people who are linked to the confederacy. but now we're saying that people who are sitting on the supreme court right now didn't,

they're not good enough to get a statue. he's us on the georgia, go ahead and put the statue up. people are going to complain about it. and that's just how we are. 2 well, i appreciate it for giving us the okay, d, i'll give you one minute quickly to respond. and this is not about ideology. let's just think about if you, sam, we'll get doing a batch of a column. how i guess kind of leave the right guess. what this is a man who was accused of sexual harassment by meter, he'll be doing all kinds of things ethical. he does not need that. you know, well, well, once again, it's like you said, it's up to the state legislature. they voted guess at this point. so we will say thank you will they can do for joining me in the conversation. now when they return, woke madness has now come to one major city school cafeteria. but is the serving of only begin lunches in schools on friday actually. and their best health interest, while we're going to discuss with them is composed of many different survives,

such as a, not quite to make those organ in a test tube. in visceral, off light came up with an idea of using kind of on i was developing a soft vinyl reactor algorithm. so neural networks have been following us everywhere. we look online because our relationships are what matters most to us. that's how we find meeting and how we make sense of our place in the silicon valley. see, don't mention in that slick presentations. however, the ghost workers who train the self, where humans are involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold, as is miracle of automation behind your screen. it's a valuable workforce that feeds algorithms for next to nothing. on a very good day,

i can do $5.00 now. a really bad day. i can do $0.10. now. these workers are invisible by design, it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of lesson responsibility between those who solicit this kind of work and need it. and those who do it a

ah, the students are getting used to masking social distancing, and anxiety over who is vaccinated and who's not. what's one word change come in their way? new federal regulations to limit the sodium most whole grains and prescribe the kind of milk students in various age brackets can be served. agriculture secretary thomasville sack, call the efforts heroic because nothing says here. rhythm like tinkering with children's nutrition with rigid new regulations. but new york city schools are taking it a whole step further, where they knew a friday menu that is entirely vague. it, it is one of several ways new york city mayor eric adams is trying to it. i want to quote this get new yorkers to eat a plant based center to live there, and some of the pictures of the food right there. i don't know how appealing that looks. now, the mayor's efforts also include plant based lifestyle medicine in new york hospitals. but one thing missing from mayor adams crusade seems to be his own

personal conduct. because the progressive mayor has admitted to his fellow new yorkers that he does sometimes a fish fill this leave some parents asking if the mayor can include fish in his diet. why is it telling schools not to serve it on fridays? well, we were to bring in tri, casey here is a survive health nutritionist, and the author of ribs at 50 and mr. helped him that as well as andrew langer president of the institute for liberty. thank you gentlemen for joining me on this grade to be here. ok. before we get to the health side, let's look at 1st of all the political side and andrew, this is the fact that the mayor supposed to be said the example is this, do as i say, not as i do more hypocritical leave, talking about inventing rules for us more importantly, children, but not for themselves to follow until they get caught. and then they have to admit 1000 percent. i mean, obviously this is an ex apocryphal on the part of mir adams. but let's take a step back, scotty, and recognize that much in the same way you were talking about math command. it's

a moment ago. this also wouldn't be an issue if new york city didn't have a guarantee of free lunches and free breakfasts to every student in the new york city system. and so what happens like a lot of progressive policies, they create this issue, they create a situation which you are sort of forced down into a particular avenue, through a set of incentives and subsidies. and then here they're going to start implementing whatever social engineering they want to start engineering. the fact that the mer himself is not a true vision. well that's, that's just a cherry on the top of an already being and sunday, i think and i have nothing against speaking. in fact, i think there's actually some really good quality for that. i as an adult, can appreciate and see health benefits. but troy, with planned based diety becoming more popular, we see some big parents trying to incorporate them in their kids, which is their parents choice. but others think it's actually unwise because certain neutral critics and supporters can even agree how to interpret this research. we actually don't know a steady,

funny being kid to be short on average. had critics point to growth hormones and milk and arguing that non begin kids were abnormally tall. what do you think it'd be going isn't strict weakness and children actually responsible thing to do? so i think i shall abuse malnutrition, in my humble experience, and 2 and a half years i am reading the amount urs egan's off the internet. gluconeogenesis is a deadly situation and the body will cut that was its own tissue driven by cortisol to feed the body. if it doesn't have the proper nutrition. this whole conversation needs to revolve around quality and food. you just knew tom vilsack with a few p. o on santo is now f da, i mean this is box in the hen house. nonsense. this has nothing to do with progressive left is right is i am no god. 8 family, you know, it's on a right on that side, but i want to change the whole complete world. i know about the tuition,

i understand oil expirations, destroying the environment and, and the rain for us. that's where i came from 16 years ago. and so there's so many things that have mixed up, like pasta primavera and the propaganda it's social engineering is thick. and so we, we talk about health and food and nutrition. he must talk about quality, right? our grandparents used to call organic lou lou and it is not food anymore and our resorts reflect that 670 percent more people are always are overweight child obesity, and cancer is from blue. less nonsense, less cut quad. talk with get down on what real food is not manufactured food by the bill gates and the monsanto's of the world, which clearly are poisoning the world with glad to say ascertain all her sister company, sir. all that put aspartame on the market. right. don rumsfeld,

if big jamie saw it being poisoned systematically and little copper, nonsense, but quality and cafeteria, food, i don't know if that hasn't a long tradition of not being in the same sentence, not just starting with this. and so you've been this time, you actually have a mayor the government to children 1st or is that propaganda? well, we put the children 1st because the children in the future and, and, or get food makes eyeballs, saturated fat makes my nation for the nervous system. and the brain development and yes, children are being chemically passed, grading, stay with the c, e o s u, and too much soy. which isn't that beyond me, which whatever the narrative is they're trying to funnel us into some kind segan eugenics or some other kind of thing that i don't know what is being healthy. just like selling crack pipes to people, 80 getting crap pipes to people a healthy right. try i over. i am a 100 percent on the same page with you. my son went there

a shorts did to begin to be meagan, and it was very unhealthy from we had to convince him that it was actually hardy. it's help andrew. i want to get a quick word on your end because troy's definitely spoke about. i see you, i see, i know you probably can agree with an appointee everything. you're kind of where yourself. you loved to cook and barbecue kitchen, but you know, absolutely wrote this book called plant based approach. she carries that occurred is diabetes, reverse chronic illness. now can a plant based lifestyle actually been good, a forced down people? not just an overall, andrew. it's herman. let me talk to andrew. it's a matter. it's a matter of choice in the end, right? if you want to have a lifestyle and you want your kids to you to plant based lunch, send your kids to school with a plant based lunch. we haven't even got discovery that ramp and waste that happens in the schools in the amount of money that literally goes into the garbage can. we saw this happened with michelle obama's nutrition program, the amount of money, the amount of food that got wasted there. the problem of course, is when kids go hungry of school,

they're going to eat junk food later on. we have to give them the right foods that are actually going to eat. if we're going to go down this road and not do political experimentation. well, and then i want to 1st real quickly to try the 22nd. i gotta tell you, is this something that actually that this other that kids can actually handle it school? can they get enough nutrition for a day with one meal that they're given at school? it's all the education. it's all about. the education at home, nutritious food, cook, when your family, your family by organic, make a huge difference in the mere if you want to be ready to 56, right? you're going to need organic food, baby. you're going to need it. you know what i agree with you on that trip before andrew starts taking off his jacket. i gotta say thank you don't for joining me because that's all we've got for the show troy. andrew will talk to you later. thank you. oh, let's continue this conversation on twitter adds got in use hash tag team and vh until we see each and again stay happy,

stay healthy. stay with your clothes on and say inform thanks for watching. ah, ah, with a directly re sell advertise as content to us and decide who sees what content like when and how much of it facebook claims that these algorithms are there to learn about our specific references. but actually this is untrue. shaping preference is tomorrow the person finds a fake point where the video, when it saying the flat, then this content ranks. huh. at least 20 percent or maybe even 40 percent

or pretty. that is true. that is a very dangerous thing to join me every 1st day. on the alex simon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm . mediterranean is the world's most efficient sea, unsustainable exploitation of its fish dogs, which maureen biodiversity undergoing thread a lesson the getting the quote on. sure you understand this is because our system, i'm not going to pull the cookie careful for a tech and want to put our lives despite the promise is to end over fishing by 2020. the situation is changing to slow. well, i'm very disappointed with attrition. that they've basically

not in public interest. they also do not in the midst of interest of the fishes, the only interest of the fishery on the face of the only ones in danger. the fisherman also at risk of losing or bugging them up to them before they get to them about that. i'm a global thought. i guess it might be real. she's been there. wouldn't be abusive with . oh, are you doing? what do you do like a canadian police,

go in heavy at the anti vaccine mandate protests and also up as prime minister trudeau tries to. but little that demonstrated a few people shouting and waving. swastikas does not define who canadian or there were thousands of people coming down here, showing support. there was why, you know, there is music. we report from the canadian capital, where despite the government pushed back the protest surpassing all peacefully. also this our i'll teach german language channel appeals berlin's broadcast band, russian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria's her other talks to us exclusively on this and the world's other help putting topics right now to jen gotten instead of having nothing to do with it.
