7:30 am
the ah, has the 1st amendment adjust the nullified by the department of homeland security by the issuing of a bulletin of hiding terrorism. labeling anyone who distrust the united states government as tearing or into the potential punishment which might away those who dare question the actions of this administration. and does it mean those who are calling for a freedom convoy to begin here in the united states might be the 1st to be labeled terrorist by this new policy. we're going to bring you the latest from the events on the ground in canada with the freedom con boy as support in the state continues to build amongst us trucker. and the bill is being introduced to stop all a to secure the border of ukraine. until the border of the united states is secured itself, but will be more than just a p. r. move to bring a tension to the continued influx of illegal migrants across the southern border.
7:31 am
we're going to discuss, meanwhile is the number of those. 3 already in the united states to call the 3 their home continued to increase one major city, encouraging it citizens help. how's the homeless by inviting them into their own homes to say, will there be a new trend of government? suggested housing in private resident. got no hughes and these are just a few of the stories. plus chris cuomo is playing the victim card in regards to dismissal from cnet any once we compensated for his trouble, but does he deserve it? well, that is the $60000000.00 question. we will investigate on today's news views. huge here on our t, like just started the news . thanks for joining us. you know, in what looks to be a move even more dramatic regarding the power grab of american citizens rights than
7:32 am
even the patriot act. the department of homeland security has issued a bulletin of heightened terrorism alert warning, and this is the proliferation of a false or misleading narratives which so discord or undermine public trust in us government institutions. now d h s a warned against a threat actors who want to exaggerate suicidal friction, so discord and undermine public trust and government institutions to encourage and rest and potentially inspire acts of violence. this bulletin, however, does have an expiration date of june 7th, but who exactly is d h s talking about? and what does this mean for the future of free speech? want to bring in been sworn investigative journalist about this. been, this has gone kind of under the radar. not many people have looked at this. that's why i knew that you and i needed to. i'm curious, as you read this bulletin, what do you think the goal of it is and who exactly?
7:33 am
is it going to affect well yeah, i think that's going to affect anybody out there who wow, according to this bulletin, distrust the government and anyone who distrust their government or shares, ideas that might make others distrust their government, is considered a terrorist threat that the language is so over the top, scotty, it's so beyond the pale that you have to sit back and say, there must be something specific that's being pointed to here. you said in the lead up here right now, there is a, a massive freedom convoy that has shut down ottawa, canada, and i believe the right now there is a huge movement to get one. he started here in the united states. i know that is actually underway. right now, and we're going to see it all happen very soon, and i will tell you that if and when that does happen, that will be seen as a huge threat to those who are in power in this country for various reasons. one because you have obviously washington d. c. that would be the target of a shut down in the streets. number 2,
7:34 am
you would have truckers who would be on the roads, therefore they're not taking an already strained supply chain set of goods to their stores. instead, they'll be headed to washington dc, and number 3, it brings democracy back to the consent of the governed. and so when you see that this language being used right now, that anyone who is helping to so discord and a lack of trust in the government as being a terroristic threat, that only goes until june, you have to believe there is something about to happen that the government is very afraid of right now and that the spook agencies idea as you know, the in a say the api cia that they're worried about. what i think they're worried about more than anything is the voice of the people being restored to the people. well, and then that's what scares me the most when i read, that's why i think we need to put a spotlight on it because you look at whether you're talking about social media, where they are talking about you to whether time anything on internet or even talk that's going on the churches, i don't care political party the both right now people are questioning what is
7:35 am
going on because a lot of for very confused by the messaging that's being put out by the ministration. you said that you think there's an expiration date on it because it shows something big is about to happen. but i want to know what happens. is there any sort of punishment the judge is a very serious while it is a fear mongering? is part of the government. do we know yet what happens to those that just feels is in violation? well here's the thing. we don't know. so what we do know about the folks who were there on january 6, not people who necessarily destroyed property, just people who were around the capital. in some cases, people who never even entered the capital. we know that. b a law enforcement has a rest of those people and held them in solitary confinement. is that what we're talking about here is what we're talking about here is that the forms of the patriot act in this new so called domestic patriot act as being put into practice. even though it hasn't been passed into law in this country. is that going to be pointed at, people directed at people who are seen to be
7:36 am
a terroristic threat. i got to say, scotty, i mean, this is a scary to say on your show because we're here on national television. but what i be considered a terrorist under this, i mean i question our government all the time. it's what i do as a journalist, i believe that my job requires me to question those who are in power. and in many cases, i distrust not because there are democrat or their republican, but because they have power and i distrust people who have power to do the right thing with it. that's what journalists are supposed to do in holding people who are in power accountable. so if that is the case under this very loose, very vague definition, would i be considered a terrorist by the department of homeland security? and if the answer to that question is yes, the next question to what you just asked. and what does that mean? what is the consequence of that? that is a terrifying idea and it's not outlined in this bulletin. so it's very vague without a punishment. and this is what the consequence is gonna be. and you look at those that are being held on january 6, still in trial. what a year at a tiers last year,
7:37 am
year later. and they have not actually been formally charged yet anything you give them a little and to they take. this is why people question have doesn't the government? but here's the bigger question is how does this not conflict with the 1st amendment? you're right in your job as a journalist is to ask questions. that is the, the right, not only the journalist, but is every citizen of the united states that was given to us. we have the freedom of speech. how is this actually not in conflict with it? toys, absolutely. in conflict with it, it is in conflict with the right to speak with a your journalist or not. you have the right to speak. the right to freedom of religion means the right to your belief system is not just church religion. it's whatever you believe you have a right in this kind of country, a fundamental constitutionally protected right. to believe what you believe government does not have the right to punish you for your beliefs. and one thing that you see it here is they keep threatening that those who are creating these beliefs or this speech might lead to someone believing something that might lead to violence, or that is the case, and there is violence, then you charge the violence. you don't charge this idea that you have
7:38 am
a belief in your head and therefore you must be punished for that. it's utterly draconian on every level. and the truth is it, i'm glad you're talking about it today because folks need to stand up and say absolutely not. we have to rein in these, these branches of government and these government bureaucrats and departments that are running amok right now and not following the law. we need to put the light and shine it bright onto these things because unfortunate once they actually put it into practice, it's too late. we need to let the american people know and let the world know exactly what is going on right now. involving free to his speech and the ability to question the government. ben, thanks for staying with us. as been mentioned, a freedom convoy, an ottawa continues, despite negative rhetoric from prime minister justin trudeau, threats of arrest ticketing, and a court injunction on honking, has gone in place in the city around john. heidi is on the ground, he's joining us at the latest most gaudy. i'm here at basically the staging
7:39 am
area of what's been called the the so called freedom convoy. it started when truckers converge here, january 28th, 29th to protest. the country's vaccine mandates for truckers and really it's, it's more into a much greater protest over cove in $1000.00 restrictions. really countrywide, here in canada and i'm staying a little bit back. you know, behind me you could see where the there's a vehicle there. there's a whole lot of trucks here and let me kind of get out of the way. i'm gonna lady and show you. i'm staying back because it, it could get a little loud. there's somebody talking, there's not the music and there's certainly $11.00 thing i'm not hearing is the blaring of of car and the truck horns, which has really been kind of an issue of, of huge debate and, and contention among the residents who live here. that's why a class action lawsuit was filed and that really brought about this temporary injunction in which an auto, a judge are granted basically as shutting down the noise for a minimum of 10 days, really in an effort to try to, to quell the overall protests. well that was,
7:40 am
that hasn't happened. what we have seen is along with support are showing up here every day. we've seen protest stretch across the rest of the country from ottawa to vancouver. also, i should mention the ambassador bridge is, is a very important point. it's an incredibly critical point of commer stretching from windsor ontario to detroit michigan. well, a conway truckers overnight monday and tuesday essentially stage a blockade there in solidarity with the truckers here. so this, this debate, this protests has, has morphed into a much greater debate, as i said about coven restrictions here in the country. and really also it's become a political debate about freedom of speech, about the freedom of assembly, freedom of protest, scotty, you talked about the prime minister with some of the negative rhetoric. one thing during an emergency parliament hearing, by the way parliament in if you want to show parliament's right here during your emergency meeting on monday night, talked about the protest,
7:41 am
talked about extremis elements here that as centrally referring to protest her as a swastika carrying people on the protesters i've talked to, i want to be very clear about something, and i've talked to quite a few, not thousands of them, but quite a few since we've been here for 3 days. and they've been adamant that this is a peaceful protest. there have been some extreme us elements that have come here, but they say they shut that down. people who are like that have told to late that they don't want that message being essentially hijacked by anybody like that. and that's, that's been part of the concern, is it some of the support from outside the country? some of the foreign support, some of the media support, you know, that, that it's possibly bringing in a bit of a kind of that extremist element. look, i've covered a lot of protest, scotty, there's always going to be that rest. but by and large, since we've been here, this has been a relatively peaceful protest. yes, there have been arrests for mostly mischief as it's called here. people are drinking, you know, they sometimes get rowdy, but what i have seen is at night there's not the blaring of cart of car horns or
7:42 am
truck hoards. they've been very careful about that, but the protest does very much continue. and really that's the question is, how much longer will it continue? they want their voice is heard. i think their voices have been heard specifically another final point, 2 provinces. here in canada, alberta and saskatchewan are now reducing and basically axing some of these coven 19 restrictions in alberta. it was announced that q r codes will no longer be necessary. q r codes is what you have to show on your phone to prove your vaccinated. we have to do it basically you go into a restaurant, you have to show that or is foreign nationals. we have to show our vaccination card walbert a just an out. they're not doing it anymore. so whether or not scotty that stems from this protest, you know, that remains, that remains unclear. but what is clear is that the protest continues here on the ground. it continues and other parts of the country. and also we're seeing protests like this,
7:43 am
bringing up worldwide in the united states in the u. k. in australia to name a few. not 2. wow. john, it's amazing. you've had an interesting, he went from a very inter jack, lots of things going on a few days ago. seems like it's coming down. it'll be interesting as we get closer to the way the weekend if others start to come back in and you start to see the energy ramp back up again. i appreciate you being out there contain a cover for it. hopefully it stays peaceful, which is what it looks like. it's going to be thanks, john. now after the break, chris cuomo is now claiming a form of meeting. but instead of sexual harassment, he says he was dismissed. not because of his knowledge of his boss, of internal affair, but because of his bosses relationship with a further. so does he have a boy? i don't see miles burger joins us to this guy. i think 71 with the world, one out of the out money standard everybody, every entrepreneur, every business man, every country in the world has got addicted to mal investment as got addicted to accountability. and the idea that every single problem can be cured by simply
7:44 am
printing more money. and now we're at a point where all of that mal investment and all that waste has now resulted in a molecule prices, as is discussed in this report, which is predictable. and it's also irreversible algorithm. so neural networks have been following us everywhere. we look online because our relationships are what matters most us. that's how we find meaning and how we make sense of our place in the world with silicon valley see, don't mention 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 this miracle of automation behind your screen is a valuable workforce that feeds algorithms for next to nothing. on a very good day,
7:45 am
i could do $5.00 now. at 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 lessening responsibility between those who solicit this kind of work and need it. and those who do it a new bill moving through the house and senate makes it clear. democrats are serious and i don't think committed to securing the border. it's just on our own borders, instead of establishing operational control of our own border with mexico. the defending ukraine sovereignty act is all about security, ukraine, and bolstering is defense capabilities. now it also as to the heap of sanctions against russia to punish any perceived undermining of ukrainian sovereignty. but a new competing legislation proposed by a republican representative from montana mat rosendale is banning
7:46 am
a just bidding military and security obligations to ukraine and to the united states achieves operational control the us border with mexico. all the while the by the ministration seems unwilling to handle the real situation south of the border. joining us now discuss, welcome net, ryan, political commentator and former presidential speech writer. welcome ed. thanks scottie. oh, there are lots of pieces to this black to say, hey, if this helps us get actually our southern border some attention. but all the enough, you know, once again it's democrats are the ones pushing for more and more involved in ukraine. but what can make someone spend so much on arming ukrainians and committed to our armed forces to a potential war over there, instead of splitting these resources here at our southern border. the hypocrisy is pretty staggering when you think about it, scotty, when these people are talking about defending ukraine's borders and its national sovereignty was the same time selling out america's borders and sovereignty. first
7:47 am
of all, the american people have 0 desire. i mean, there's very few of the american people have any desire to be involved in any more foreign wars. they are done with this foreign intervention. they're done with our ruling class and our leaders, and i say leaders and quotes because i, i think most of them are completely misguided and they're supposed leadership. but they're tired of our leaders having spent trillions of dollars on foreign intervention in nation building as our country is crumbling. and i think this is the other part that's pretty staggering to me when they're talking about all this money and sending troops and all these things about ukraine. when our country is crumbling, bridges are collapsing, and our southern border is absolutely porous. and you have millions of illegals that have come in in the last year. and this administration, which i believe as lawless, has been helping facilitate distributing the legal throughout the country. so they have general moral authority to actually be making an argument to protect ukraine. border borders and sovereignty,
7:48 am
when in fact i think they are overtly and actively destroying our own well, and that's the thing, you know, i used to think this is just ignoring what was going on the board. they were mis handle, you know, i think they know exactly what they're doing intentional. this is exactly their plan from all along and sir, they want to look like they're not doing the but more importantly, they don't want people paying attention. i think this is why mat rosendale, who's a representative spawns from the bill. total port us has no legal or moral authority to come to ukraine, aid in the us mentally. crane. not only are you misuse of american tax dollars, but distracting from actual problems here at home, like the border crisis, does this have a chance of actually picking up steam, as many republicans are the ones that are joining this cry for war and support and ukraine, even more allow than they did when they had a chance at the border. yeah. well, 1st of all, scottie, i think a lot of republicans in congress are out of step with the base in regards to where their priority should be. let's not forget immigration and securing the southern border was one of the top 3 issues as to why donald trump one in 2016 and it's not
7:49 am
going away. i still believe it's one of the top issues, not only in the mid term, but for 2024 as well. and at some point we have to address the problem within the republican party. and i think you make a good point that we have too many republicans far more interested in being neo cons and foreign intervention than actually addressing and protecting the interest of the american people here at home. i think at some point we have to address this corporatism in this chamber of commerce element inside of the republican party, replace, hopefully as many as possible with america the 1st time to actually prioritize the american people's interest. because although we're really talking about scotty when people say america 1st, the shocking concept is how about we have leaders that actually prioritize the american people to interest, protect, and in advance those using the american people's taxpayer dollars wisely, to do that to advance and protect the american people's interests, and that's apparently a very shocking concept to many in dc, including republicans, enough is enough. and that's what i think a lot of the american people are demanding from both parties. why do you prioritize
7:50 am
our interest 1st instead of another country's well, and that's, i think where people are scratching their heads right now with so many people. then you say it's near content stuff that's here in chamber commerce. i'll have to look at those that are actually getting paid their donations that are coming in to many republicans saying this is why we need to, to bass. if they don't realize that you can only kick the dog so much of the dog actually bites back, and that's what scares me so much. at this point, i said we have enough crisis here at home, but it's always great to have this conversation with you. thanks, ned. speaking, i've a crisis. homelessness crisis in the san francisco bay area is now a so bad. residents are being asked to take in homeless people off the streets and housed them in their own homes. now politicians and charities claim locals want to be a part of the solution. but what incentives do they have based on past experiences? well for more, here's our 2 correspond paxton boyd. homelessness in the bay area is now such a problem that people are being urged to hand over their spare rooms to the homeless
7:51 am
. local nonprofits such a safe time in east bay, a place more than 60 people in home since 2017. the mayor of richmond, located about 20 miles from downtown san francisco, set up a program to match homeless people with landlords who have empty apartments funded by private donations and will pay up to a years rent upfront, to encourage them to forego credit employment and background checks washington d. c at home to one of the largest homeless populations in the entire country. you see these 10 set up on the sidewalk here and we're only about 2 blocks away from the white house. now, according to the department of housing and urban development, there's about 6000 people in washington dc, experiencing homelessness. compare that to 30000 in the san francisco bay area, and about 580000 nationwide. last year, many hotels in the bay area took advantage of the city and state incentives to house, nearly 2000 of the homeless in the area. now there is tax money to buy hotels to
7:52 am
permanently house the homeless, according to $5.00 keys, a nonprofit that runs one of the hotels dozens of tenants die due to overdose, is that of 8 sites in san francisco. largely attributed to the fentanyl crisis, sweeping the area and other parts of the nation, while reports of violence had been rare, steps have been trained with de escalation techniques. the schemes are just the latest attempt to solve san francisco's homeless problem, which in december, 4th, mayor london, breed to declare a state of emergency. more than 8000 people are currently believed to be homeless in the city. up from 5600 a decade ago. for news youth you unpacks than boyd well, $60000000.00. this is a possible asking price. a chris cuomo has as retribution for his unfair firing from cnn. with the details in rti, america's own media watchdog coast of eat, depress steve malls. bird. $16000000.00. that's meghan lee money on that
7:53 am
when she was harassed by a network president, the remainder of couldn't contract to those see was only 18000000. why is chris cuomo asking for up to $60000000.00 from warner media? how does he justify it? well, you talk about a golden parachute. i mean, this is insane. i, here's the deal. we're, we're getting reports. i just want to preface everything i say is reportedly that i've heard that i've read. i don't know anything 1st hand about this, but the reports are, you know, chris cuomo was reportedly fired because an investigation was done and it came out that he was advising his brother on how to handle public relations about accusations of with the of misconduct with women et cetera. and that he lied about it to jeff sucker. and then it came out and they fired him. now, zucker, of course a car last week was fired himself. and the explanation was, well, i had an inappropriate sexual affair with the car with a fellow employee and i was required by warner media to disclose it. i failed to
7:54 am
disclose it, so i quit. well then we find out that, hey, guess why? they fired him and they said you big, you'd better be out today. he wanted to stay on. no, you're gone. why? well, reportedly again, chris cuomo is kind of according to, to judge tappers analysis on holding the network hostage, or is it is acting like i again, according to route, reportedly what tapper said at a meeting with the ceo of time warner acting like a terrorist. the terrorist is winning, is what tappers alleged to have said. because cuomo apparently know stuff about soccer, which would be embarrassing enough to the network that he went to them and said, you know, get at this guy fired me for inappropriate behavior. a conflict of interest. well, guess what? he had his own conflict of interest. the sex story was a front. it didn't mean anything. there are reports that all along jeff sucker know
7:55 am
that chris cuomo was advising his brother. was okay with it. and that jeff soccer and him cell might have been advising or dealing with or talking with his brother andrew cuomo, the former governor of new york. and didn't disclose that either. so this is so deep and so involved, but i'm not a lawyer. i still don't understand though, how if he was owed 18, how he would get 60 and i heard today on fox business that he really wants 80000000 . but he knows he'll never get $80.00. no, what's the difference already $6080.00. so he's asking for 60, so this is a, can you talk about a can of worms, this is, i don't know what it is, but it's bigger than a can of worms. wow. and i get he things probably thinking that he's never going to able to work again in, in the industry. who knows, there's never say never. but i have also one of the ethical from a journalist perspective and steve, you and i've done this long enough politician versus a member of the family. is there anything unethical? is there anything illegal about advising somebody how to handle different and does
7:56 am
it matter real quick and the last minute does it matter now that all of those charges have been dropped against his brother? so there's actually no official charges being of a legal practice being persecuted, prosecuted. yeah, i think that's 2 separate issues. i think his brother andrew cuomo was thinking of running for office again for attorney general against the woman who did the report, charging him with all those allegations. that as you say, nobody's press those charges, no da is taken up and arrested him or anything like that. so that's one issue. i don't think they conflate, but i do believe that it, whether or not it turned out he did know nothing wrong. does it matter? i mean, you can't, i just think that there's too much of a connection there. you can't have your brother on the air while people are dying and nursing homes, make fun of everything that's going on, not mention it, and then advise them on how to handle and also supposedly called around to other media members to find out dirt on the women who were accusing him, but if soccer knew this all along, that really is a whole different story. but steve, i think you couldn't watch and not realized that wasn't going on,
7:57 am
that everybody knew that within the network, anybody watch hit could. so to sit there and to say only one, i guarantee everybody did, but that's accountability that has to go on within that needs room. and i'm thankful that i get to ask those questions to you. this brings us the close of today shout. let's continue to conversation on twitter at scottie and hughes hash tag team n b h. until we see you again, i'm kind of you say happy stay healthy. stay inform. thanks for watching. ah ah. the mediterranean is to lose moved over efficiency, unsustainable exploitation of its fish dogs, which maureen biodiversity under going thread medicine. use the lesson the getting the quote numbers for years thomas's, we got our system, huntington, katrina, nikki careful printed his hon just to kick in one. but a loose, despite the eas,
7:58 am
promises to end over fishing by 2020, the situation is changing too slow. i'm very disappointed with this is basically not in public interests. they also do know, in the midst of interest of the fishes, the only interest of the fishery. moby on the face showed the only ones in danger. the fisherman also at risk of losing or plugin with all of them, but they get to them about that. i'm going to level more so i guess it might be able to not be abusive with
