los altos, like a driven by a dreamer shaped banks, interested those with who dares sinks? we dare to ask in a plot which sounds like a tv drama. the department of justice now says the claim for president campaign in 2016 a legally spied on the trump campaign. what were they hoping to find and can the t o j a really claim innocent? and how has this

a strong link to the situation ukraine plus another tragic weekend filled with almost 2 dozen members of law enforcement being shot all in the line of duty. why is this problem continuing to escalate? meanwhile, another, we can a protest in ottawa, we're going to offer you the latest regarding the freedom conway. as government officials are beginning to lose their patients. but it's really about public health at this point are more about who has the power to politicians? are the people i'm the guy now he is and these are just a few of the stories that we're going to be covering on. today's news. you see, that's ro, ah, a bomb shell, new legal filing claims that hillary clinton campaign, they paid an internet company to infiltrate servers at trump tower, and the white house all in order to link donald trump to russia. now this filing

comes from an ongoing investigation department of justice, special prosecutor, john durham. as we learn more and more about this fabrication of the russian collusion, conspiracy, it also can at beg the question, why should we believe what we're being told about you? crank and theory, it's coming from the same mouth, but best co host, an investigative journalist, ben swan, as more was got, it all comes down to trust. and one simple fact, the same people who were working as advisors of the clinton campaign and peddling the russia gay conspiracy 4 years are now working as national security advisors for the biden administration. chief among them, jake sullivan. in 2016, he was a foreign policy advisor to hillary clinton. after clinton's last trump sullivan went throughout media, lending so called credibility to the claims that the trump campaign was colluding with russia. over and over, the former president has denied any russian collusion with his campaign or

administration. and in fact, trump was widely marked in the media and political circles for claiming that his campaign was being spied on. well, now it turns out that was true. friday special counsel, john durham filed a motion related to potential conflicts of interest in connection with the case of clinton campaign lawyer. michael sussman, who was charged with lying to the fits in that filing durham states that lawyers for the clinton campaign, paid a technology company to infiltrate servers belonging to trump tower. and later, the white house, in order to establish an inference and narrative to bring to government agencies linking donald trump to russia. all the news of this latest bombshell, dr. jill stein, the 2016 green party presidential candidate tweeted, quote, they lied to you about vietnam. they lied to you about iraq and afghanistan. they lied to you about syria and libya. they lied to you about honduras and bolivia. they lied to you about a song and russia gate. so why the hell would you believe what they're telling you about ukraine? which brings us back j. sullivan. and indeed,

why would we believe the one time clinton adviser now president joe biden's national security advisor on sunday sullivan made the media rounds, insisting that an eminent invasion of ukraine by russia is only days away and could happen this week. and of course, once again, no evidence was provided by sullivan as to why he believes that the russia invasion of ukraine will take place. sometime this week though, he did say that he believes that russia is timing out the invasion with the end of the beijing olympics. of course, he didn't saying why that's happening, reporting for news use use. i've been swan and we need to discuss this a little more and i want to bring in ed martin, president. phyllis shefly is eagles ahead. an ad. wow. we now? well, we knew this isn't what a day, but we knew that all along. we talked about it on the show starting in 2018. but even in 2016, that was, that were on the campaign trail, said that campaigns being spied on trump was marked in the media for it actually

slandered said, no, we can't put that fake news that false statement out there. and now it's truth. so do you believe that the democrats in a clean campaign are actually now ready to fest have come true that they spied on the trump campaign, or is this all going to be swept back underneath the rug? well, you know, scottie as i was watching the superbowl last night, did you see the commercial that echo the sopranos opening, you know, on the, on the highways of new jersey. and i thought back to the term member, trump use a term wire taps and the country. and once he got my wire tap, it turns out he was wire tap. they had wires, they had wires into his server when he was a candidate and as president. so the question is not whether they'll be held accountable. the question is, is anyone going to be held accountable? i mean, jake sullivan was in the middle of it. mark elias was in the middle of it. and, you know, jill, i had to quote jill stein do often, but when she said, what are you going to believe? these are the same people that told us the 2020 election was perfect. and you know,

and there hasn't been any evidence they say presented that there was a problem. that's jake sullivan, that's mark elias. so right now we are in a crisis in this country of a dishonest. the from the major sources, intelligence community and mainstream media leading the charge. but what are we supposed to believe? it would be one thing though. if we were just watching hillary, you know, and her people in sour, grapes and all, that's not what we're watching. we're watching them use their power. now, to start a war to destabilize europe, what i mean, and these are the same people in charge. it's amazing to watch on that time. scratch my head because they're allowed to be able to kept in power. and they're actually given more powerful positions on this, but you know, you go back to actually the campaign and this was going through and you have to work a one. how far up did it go? did the hillary clinton did hit the hillary clinton herself? no, did the obama administration, and now that i've seen that for these 5, the warranty, by the way, people like quarter page and, and others have been screaming about that whole time. they had to be signed off on

. there were all signed off by judges that were appoint that were signed off on by justice roberts. i mean, how deep is it, go, and is it because it's so deep is the fact that we're never going to find out who actually is the one that's signing off at all this and making these orders in the 1st place. well, i'm not sure about warehouse or the individual players, but i can tell you that all the, all the indications are that susan rice go back. and brock obama not meeting in january of 2017. they were taking upon themselves to change the norms of behavior, to break the law in my opinion and change it. here's where jake sullivan fits in. yesterday on, on cnn, jake sullivan was confronted by jake tapper, who said, hey, why is it you guys are leaking all this classified material? you keep coming out and saying, oh there's going to be a false. why ah, we have true moments. and solomon's answer was, we have to do that because we've judged that this is such a hard time in the world. who to heck is jake sullivan? he gets a change all the rules and all the laws because he has a preference. okay,

well i'm going to take a lesson on that cuz that's that quote right there, stuck out to my team as well, where they happened. so here was, yeah, this is exactly what was said yesterday on jake tapper cnn show. first, we're not putting forward this intelligence to start a war which has happened in the past, jake, we're putting forward this intelligence to stop a war. and i think that fundamentally gives it at the outset a different level of credibility. secondly, this is consistent with the russian playbook. we have seen them do this before. many times you ask any russia expert, they will point to examples of where russia has used false flag operations as pretext to start military action. and then 3rd, if you look at the russian media, they are laying the groundwork for a potential pretext by raising the possibility of attacks by ukrainian forces. i know the russians themselves or rushes proxy, forces in the don pos. and then finally, what we have said is stood at the podium and shared with our allies that we have

information that we have gathered through intelligence. that indicates that there is active planning for this. and it's not just the united states saying it, we have our nato allies stepping out and saying as well, because they been able to review that intelligence, assess its credibility, and reach the same, conclude we have reached. so i do think the world should be prepared for russia staging a pretext, and then launching a potential military action. literally, maybe 10 percent of that and i'm talking about the vowels he spoke about. that was true and legitimate. and i have to tell you about you and i work with a lot of russians. this has nothing to do with our russians work. and i have to tell you for the 1st time in history, if you think a world leader is going to say, hey, by the way, and they get lead out exactly the day they're going to go after another country that's never happened in any war. it's not going to happen in this when, and it really infuriating because there's actually lives, it's taking every single member of the you. every single ally is actually the one screaming stop and that's you're in the u. k. or you're the u. s. everybody else to

say and hold off the head of the head of germany headed to moscow. and the u. s. is pulling out of right now out of kiev. they're not pulling out of moscow. that should be a huge warning sign to what this really is in the falls like jake sullivan's the one mouth thing it ed. well, scotty also let me just put this in context so so. so important. we've watched in the last 5 years that we've seen the intelligence community go out and use the intelligence and say, trust us, we got brennan clapper, we got call me, they all go out on tv. and they say on cnn and embassy nbc, they say, trust us, we know what the intelligence means. you must believe this. what j solomon just said is not only a lie, it's an insult because what was it? the podium at the pentagon was a guy saying, we think they're going to do this and someone said, what's the evidence? and they said, well, we can tell you the evidence or we're, we're not going to tell you, we just think they're going to do it. and here's a trick, they're doing this so that the american public goes, wow,

that must be what's happening when there's no evidence. zalinski is over there in ukraine. say, we don't see the troops on the borders. why are you saying that? and trying to make us hysterical make the people hysterical. and the answer is the people in the white house, whether binds asleep or not shoes and rice, jake solomon, they have a vision of regime change everywhere. they look and let me put one more cap on this, the war winds down up, ganesh, them. and so now we're supposed to turn and fight a war in the ukraine. we're supposed to go from spending time, treasure and talent in afghanistan and moved to ukraine. this is insanity, and it's masquerading as national security expertise and no one that smart. she's it that way they just, most of the people are frozen by the establishment. i can't say anything you're, you are lucky will be a freedom to say this well, and let me just say put more part to that. you're giving them credit for strategy. i think this is all about they just need a when i think right now this administration has the lowest numbers. everybody

knows and war time you rally around some in this president right now was hoping to have some sort of when he can brag about. because in every other aspect of american life and society has a loss in right now. and i, that's what i think is the most scary about it. but once again, folks, please look for yourself. don't take the people on television, go and find your own research, realize that, that it's us troops that are going there, not even in ukraine itself, the ukrainians have not even put their own soldiers at the board. the only people right now who are spreading fear happened to actually be in the us media in the us politicians and now the white house. and that's republicans and democrats and shame on them because our lives are too valuable. thank you for joining me on this. thank you. scottie. now, to another intense, stand up that's happening just northwest the u. s. canadian border. it seems that it actually could be coming to an end. a truck blocking the ambassador bridge were removed over the weekend. that was the key crossing that connects a windsor in canada in detroit in the united states. now the police are facing off

of $100.00 protesters remaining behind our teeth, trash. others has more on this story. today at the vital u. s. canada border crossing reopened. wow. how can the end of a 6 day blockade, by the self proclaimed freedom convoy that disrupt a trade and traffic they want to grow and hook us up a dodge of norwood. so be police arresting at least 2 dozen protesters on sunday while clearing the ambassador bridge, the country's busiest land border crossing and key supply route, linking windsor, ontario, and detroit. the move coming after canadian prime minister just and trudeau spoke to president, bite it on friday, agreeing to coordinate on shutting down the demonstrations president biden. i both agree that for the security of people and the economy, these blockades cannot continue. everything is on the table because this unlawful activity asked end and it will end up crossing reopened in canada's

capital ottawa authorities and protesters remain at a stand off with truckers and their supporters, protesting crone of irish vaccine mandates and public health restrictions. we're doing this for the next generation as well too. right? the kids have to grow up. they want to be able to see their friends smile in school a great and just like them having to grow up with everybody you know, not being able to see people's faces, expressions, joy, sadness, all that kind of stuff. and it's that for them are auto city officials working with protests, organizers to broker a deal to make demonstrations less disruptive to residents. the way they're going about it now is completely unacceptable. they're occupying our city. people are scared to go to work. they're scared to leave their homes. other protests continue for 3 straight weekends, and they have inspired similar demonstrations across the globe from new york to new zealand by people who are just fed up with pandemic policies. a new york trinity job as r t. now there has been a term event truckers was trying to clear out of ottawa and the mayor has agreed to strike a deal and actually meet with the charters. that's a big move. you know,

prime minister adjustment for dough still has not the truckers agree to clear out of residential streets to allow for the people of ottawa to resume their normal life. but they will be allowed to stay and gather near parliament hill and still protest of the meeting between the mayor, the truckers will take place sometime this week and truckers say they will continue to protest until the vaccine passports, and mandates are dropped. now, earlier we would see the canadian democratic defense ocean kelly and wolf, and this is about a reaction to be heavily militarized. police who are arresting the protesters all off the bridge. it was, it was an absolute atrocity. i mean, i drove up to windsor yesterday, and by the time i got there, our entire team out there had already been detained. so, so my partner for the canadian democratic defense association, richard truly arg was amongst those that were 1st detained. and he was taken down very violently by about 5 different officers. and so i was very concerned,

but he was finally released in the we are, was it this morning? did we've seen elderly, we've seen that there's a video of a man who was jumped, he was just standing there trying to converse and maybe, you know, speak with police on what their, what their intentions were and out of the blue behind him. you watch 2 are army dressed officers jump him and take him to the ground to see, you know, this is, this is an absolute attack and a violation of our human rights and in the salt, it is time to remove the federal and provincial governments in canada. they, they don't serve the people, they serve foreign interests, they infringe upon our liberties or life, or security and, or property. and, you know, there's no reason for a politician to, to go into office earning a decent wage and coming out millionaires all the time. this is absolutely absurd. it's time for just now after the break, the white house correspondents dinner is back in the works for 2022. but will the

price still be ready to party as the white house is becoming less and less of friendly territory? we will discuss this party of contradictions with our own, steve, all ferg. ah, ah. either financial from i'm a guy today we owe the money laundering 1st aid to visit this. can i see the 3 different? oh good. this is a good start. well, we have our 3 banks all set up here. maybe something in europe, something in america, something overseas, in the cayman islands, you never know all these banks are complicit in the policy. we just have to give him a call and say, hey, i'm ready to do some serious my laundry. ok, let's see how we did. well, we've got a nice laundry watch for max and for stacy. oh,

beautiful jewelry. and how about ha ha. luxury auto bill? again for mag, you know, it, money laundering is higher. you don't get a report. what happened? i make no, no borders line to tease and you fresh as a merge, we don't have a charity. we don't to look back seen the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judge, you know, come in, crisis with we can do better. we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel

very proud that we are in it together with ah, if you were to ask the national police association why at least 13 police officers have been shot in several states over the course of 24 hours. they would tell you there's a war on cops, but is there more to it? while our to correspond natasha suite takes a look. devastating figure is reveal that murderers are on the rise and numbers have only continue to climb since 2020 and cops are facing the issue, not only in the field but are falling victim to the shootings. a tragic story out of arizona. we're 9, phoenix police officers were shot at an ambush after responding to a report of gunfire inside

a home early friday. one was directly shot for were wounded trying to get a baby in the home to safety. and another 4 officers were injured by shrapnel or ricocheting bullets. he was actually invited inside by the suspect, an adult male. as he approached the doorway, the suspect ambushed him with a gun and shot him several times. it's one of several incidents that occurred over a 24 hour span involving officers on duty getting shot. also on friday to maryland police officers were shot after responding to calls of a suspicious person in the city of frederick. their injuries were reported to be non life threatening. and on the same day in new mexico, a state trooper was shot at while chasing the driver of a cart who ran into his police unit. and another officer shot out on friday this time in pennsylvania. initial reports indicate that a swan officer attempted to serve a drug warrant at an apartment complex. when an armed suspect reportedly fired 2 shots through the wall or murders of police soar to an all time high in 2020 according to the f. b i. officer killings continued to increase. in fact,

in 2021 it rose 59 percent. a total of $73.00 officers were killed while on duty last year compared to the $46.00 intentionally killed into he 20. some are questioning leslie new policies and the deep on the police movement as potential culprits to the rise in both resistance and malice against officers. but regardless of reason, it's something lawmakers are slowly coming to realize that this is plaguing the nation. reporting for news use hughes and hash a sweet r t. well, president biden, avoid the fuse that characterized a trump's relationship with the media. this does not make him more comfortable with reporters who aren't content to play softball, and most recently, biden called and received lester holt, a quote wise guy for daring to remind him of his incorrect predictions about inflation from back in july. and it's boxes are points out reporters doing their job are called much worse when they foster the president with well inconvenient

facts. a lot of americans are wondering what's your definition of temporary ish well, and you're being a wise guy with me and i understand that's your job with go back and read what i said a in the students. okay, now that all brings us to the white house correspondents dinner, or what we call the nerd prom here, within the beltway, and its back on this actually suspended for 2 years over pandemic concerns. now the elite journalist of washington are those that actually like spent a lot of money spent much of a bite in 1st year in office doing their best way to explain away his disappointing performance. i now have the opportunity to see him roasted by the merciless wit of comedians a daily show. host trevor noah. or will they really ask someone who choose me to

hypocrites, for living the way at least the most depress it? and when i talk about, you know, people who pay works, people actually pay to be a part of the media, the social media circuit here in washington, dc. something that we choose not to because we actually have ethics in a lot of cases. but traditionally sitting presidents, invisible members of this administration, can expect to get roasted at the correspondence dinner. but when you look at actually what biden said some of the things, how rude he's been to reporters, points out the administration's failures. to think that they're really going to let him have it and he's going to take it with good strides. i think he'll take anything, he's not going to react in a negative way. you know the way he, you saw him in that montage. and by the way, many people say that the lashing out the sudden lashing out the spurts are indicative of mental decline in a medical sense. i'm not a doctor, but i've read that and heard that many, many times. but, but that aside,

i don't think you get to see 1st of all, i'm shocked that joe biden. i mean, i think having this, it like 4 o'clock, 4 o'clock dinner because i don't know how he's going to stay awake through this whole thing to be perfectly honest with you. but now he's, he will not react. you know, he'll f l chocolate and, and, and there's not gonna be a lot to react to. i don't believe i don't believe you're going to see any vindictiveness or, or anything that's going to really go after joe biden in the way that he deserves going after. well, and i think that's a bigger question because obviously you've seen a drop in pop by his popularity. there might be a small little jap at that. but we've also seen some reporters extra reawaken into the willingness in our asking tougher questions lately. do you think that shift will make an impact and it's prevailing atmosphere of what is going on right now? the energy between the press and the president? well, i mean it's, it's all going to be incumbent upon no trevor, no to, to, to roast the president. and whoever else he, he decides to roast in the administration or in the audience. and i, you know,

if you watch trevino and i really don't. but i, i, i've seen his commercials, you know, promoting itself coming shows up the guy to me as far as i can certaintly, a raging liberal and, and he's been chosen to host the gramm uses. well, you're not going to find a conservative getting these 2 assignments. no, not from a democratic administration. certainly were, you know, while the, this white house correspondent the dang, is also way, way, way, far to the left. in fact, the head of the white house correspondent said, you know, every night we learn and watch so much to watch and learn so much from trevor. know what's going to be a pleasure, blah, blah. really, really? i mean, this is a guy who in the early, like, 2011 and 12 of, from what i've read, has tweets that called into question the sexuality of jewish women. not women in general, talked about lesbians. and guess what, joe rogan at the time, defended him by the way and, and nothing happens. so, you know, is this

a guy who's, who's, who's going to rock the boat, not, not against biden, nothing over the line. believe me. well, and i think that's, it's been interesting these past few years to watch is where that line between be a comedian and being a journalist has been blurred. i mean, i guess you have to have a good sense of humor to go into journalism. there's no doubt, but all of us have we seen these comedians become sources of extra of new people watched and comedy central as much as they would watch a news network thinking that they were getting information that wasn't biased. that's why i think name trevor know, and now real quick in this last couple minutes i had to ask you, did dr. joe biden? she hadn't had a premonition. this is going to happen because in her english class this last year, she did only 2 books and tremor know as the autobiography was one of only 2 pieces . so can we expect any mockery of teen biting to be a lot less topic and toxic? then maybe what we saw michelle wolf routine was in 2018 o. michelle went over the line. i mean, she, she'd knocked the appearance of a kelly and conway and tore apart. so a sarah, how could be sanders and, and when,

after you know, the president in, in, in very, very, very harsh fashion. why on earth, scotty would, would jill biden assigned the biography or autobiography of trevor noah as one of 2 books in her class. really, trevor know, and then he gets picked. there is something beyond the surface here, and i hope, you know, if we had real journalists, we'd find out if this was the other way. if this was milan, you trump having an association association in the past with the guy who is going to host the white house correspondents dinner. believe me all hell would be breaking loose, but there's gotta be something here. this can not, in my opinion, be a coincidence. so let me just remind you, a joke. a few years ago actually was a kind of a premonition as a gym to the man, looked at president trump in the eye and said, as now he's gonna run for president. and guess what he did in the joke was on. i chat with you, steven alford. thank he's got a well,

that brings us to close the today show. let's continue this conversation. go over on twitter as scotty and he's hash tag team and be 8. and until we see you again, i am counting on you, please say happy day, healthy day. inform, thanks for watching. ah, and the democratic republic of congo is among the richest countries in the world and natural resources. but he cannot mclee, it's still one of the poorest cobalt is an essential material in manufacturing batteries from odin, devices like electric cars, mobile phones and computers. 60 percent of the wealth cobalt reserves are in congo 20 percent of it comes from small scale mines. unicef figures confirm that in 2017
