a little mistake, but still, you know, she had to go out there the entire world was watching. everybody had an eye on her . and of course, on the rest of the competition in this whole game, she is for me an absolute victim. she's 15 or she's the minor and she should have not dealt with what she has to face right now. we have not the complete result yet. but i think definitely adults who are around her and who have put her in the situation in what she's is now is just unbearable. my imagination, what she's going through with your 15 year old. everybody has lost, you know, there is not one single winner in this single game we're having on right now and take it, take the team competition. you know, there are 6 accolade of each country. so all those other teams, they have no medal ceremony. this is the worst. what can happen to an athlete
2:31 pm
you're out there. you're out there to win a metal. if it's a whole different civil bronze but you win a metal. and one of the most important things is to stand on the podium to hear your national anthem, or to share it with your competitors. young. a lot of times your friends with you have absolute respect for each other. so for this alone it's, it's, it's really no fair decision, you know, by holding back, because they don't know exactly what the outcome will be. in general. it's a disaster for sports, i must say. and especially for those, all the athletes who are involved in it. catherine speaking to r t international. no news views to take over our screens. next slide for scotty. now. the crude was up in a in a pot. wood sounds like a drama. the department of justice now says the clinton for president campaign in
2:32 pm
2016, illegally spied on the trump campaign. what were they hoping to find and can the seo j really claim innocent? and how as this a strongly to the situation, ukraine plus another, a tragic weekend filled with almost 2 dozen members of law enforcement in shot, all in the line of duty. why is this problem continuing to escalate? meanwhile, another, we can a protest in ottawa, whenever you, the latest regarding the freedom convoys as government officials are beginning to lose their patients. but is it really about public health at this point, are more about who has the power to politicians? are the people i'm going to use and these are just a few of the stories that we're going to be covering on today's news. the news
2:33 pm
a, a bombshell. 1 new legal filing, graham said 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 the fabrication of the russian collusion, conspiracy, it also can beg the question, why should we believe what we're being told about ukraine considering it's coming from the same mouth, robust co host, an investigative journalist, been swan has more? who's got it all comes down to trost and one simple fact, the same people who were working as advisors to the clinton campaign and peddling the russia gate 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
2:34 pm
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 off. 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
2:35 pm
lied to you about syria and libya. they lied to you about home, doris 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 to j. sullivan, and indeed, why would we believe the one time clinton adviser now president joe biden's national security adviser 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 russian 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. reform for news use use. i've been swan and we need to discuss this a little more, and i want to bring an ed martin, president, phyllis shefly, the eagles ahead. an ad. wow. we now, well, we knew this and they said what
2:36 pm
a day. but we knew this all along. we talked about it on the show starting in 2018, but even in 2016 now is 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 there and now it's truth. so do you believe that the democrats in the 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 super bowl 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 the term wire, tapped in 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?
2:37 pm
i mean, jake sullivan was in the middle of it. mark elias was in the middle of it. and, you know, jill, i hate to quote jill stein do often, but when she said, what are you going to believe? these are the same people that told us that 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 dishonesty 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 and power. and they're actually getting more powerful positions on this. but you know, you go back to actually the campaign and this was going through and you have to
2:38 pm
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 warrens there, by the way, people i quarter page and, and others have been screaming about that whole time. they had to be signed off on . they were all signed off by judges that were point 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 signing off and all this and making these orders in the 1st place. well, i'm not sure about warehouse or about 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 and 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 fly. ah,
2:39 pm
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 the 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
2:40 pm
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've been able to review that intelligence, assess it's 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 potential military actions. 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, and i work with a lot of russians, this has nothing to do without russian's 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 get lead it out exactly the day they're going to go after another
2:41 pm
country that's never happened in any war. it's not going to happen and it's when and it really impurity think there's actually lives. it's taken. every single member of the every single ally is actually the one screaming stock and that you're in the u. k. or you're the u. s. everybody else is saying, hold off the head of the head of germany had to do to moscow. and as the us are pulling out of right now out of kias, they're not pulling out of moscow. that should be a huge morning sign of what this really is false. i can take sullivan, the one mounting 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 comi, 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?
2:42 pm
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, oh, we can't tell you the evidence, how are we? 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 the ukraine, st. 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 biden's asleep or not. susan rice, j sullivan, they have a vision of regime change everywhere they look and let me put one more cap on this . the war winds down afghanistan, 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 move to ukraine. this is insanity, and it's masquerading as national security expertise. and no one that's smart, she's it that way. they just, most of the people are frozen by the establishment. i can't say anything. you're
2:43 pm
you and i are lucky. we have the freedom to say, this will add and let me just say one more part that you're getting them credit for strategy. i think this is all about, they just need a win. i think right now this administration has the lowest numbers. everybody knows in war time and 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, decide he 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. really. 2 isn't 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 the white house. and that's republicans and democrats and shame on them because our lives are too valuable. ed to thank you for joining me on this. thank you, scottie. now, to another intense, stand up, it's happening just northwest the u. s. canadian border. it seems that it actually
2:44 pm
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 train. chavez has more on this story today at the vital u. s. canada border crossing reopened. oh, how can the end of a 6 day blockade by the self proclaimed freedom con boy 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 justin 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
2:45 pm
activity asked end and it will end while 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. it's just, it's that for them are auto city officials working with protest 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 that are protest, 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
2:46 pm
pandemic policies. a new york trinity job as r t. now there has been a term event as truckers was trying to clear out of ottawa and the mayor has agreed to strike a deal and actually meet with the charter. so that's a big move. you know, prime minister adjustment for dough still has not. now 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, so we'll 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,
2:47 pm
richard truly are 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 and 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, what their intentions were and out of the blue behind him. you watched 2 are army dressed, officers jump him and take him to the ground. this, this is, this is an absolute attack. and a violation of our human rights and insult. it is time to remove the federal and provincial governments in canada. they, they don't serve the people, they serve foreign interests, the infringe upon our liberties or life, or security and, or property. and, you know, there's no reason for a politician to,
2:48 pm
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 press 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 burg. ah, ah. the monopoly, the semiconductor business would obviously be in taiwan with 80 percent of the market and going forward. the need for diversity in the market is been screaming out loud for decades. but because of the vagaries of
2:49 pm
the money that allow for a concentration of power and wealth and they collected credit cans of the caca stock or see the least qualified to rule, you have market breakdown supply chain breakdown and economic collapse with bring you the very latest every out the day, this is all now snow from everyone. here with 100 make no said, you know, born is
2:50 pm
a tease a back seen the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are just, you know, common 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 met. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with ah,
2:51 pm
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? well are to correspond natasha suite takes a look. devastating figure is reveal that murderers are on the rise and numbers have only continued to climb since 2020 and cops are facing the issue. not only in the field but are falling victim to these 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
2:52 pm
a 24 hour span involving officers on duty getting shot. also on friday to maryland police officers were shot after responding to cause of a suspicious person in the city of frederick. their injuries are reported to be non life threatening. and on the same day in new mexico state trooper was shot at while chasing the driver of a car who ramped 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. that's what 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 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,
2:53 pm
it's something lawmakers are slowly coming to realize that this is plaguing the nation. reporting for an easy to use and how to sweets r t. well, president biden avoid the fuse, the 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 as 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 your definition of temporary. yes. well, you're being a wise guy with me a little bit. i understand that's your job with go back and read what i said
2:54 pm
a 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 is 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 and they seem to be depressed. 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 and a lot of cases. but traditionally, sitting presidents,
2:55 pm
invisible members of this administration, can expect to get roasted 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'd get to see 1st of all, i'm shocked that joe biden. i mean i, they having this at 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. he'll laugh chocolate and, and it's not going to be a lot to react to. i don't believe,
2:56 pm
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 the bigger question, because obviously you've seen a drop in pop by his popularity. there might be a small little job at that. but we've also seen some reports extra reawaken into the willingness and are asking tougher questions lately. do you think that shifts will make an impact and is 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 travino, you know, 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 had seen his co commercials, you know, promoting his upcoming shows up the guy to me as far as i can certaintly, a raging liberal and, and he's been chosen to host the grammys as well. you're not going to find
2:57 pm
a conservative getting these 2 assignments, not from a democratic administration. certainly were, you know, while the, this white house correspondent, so 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 you watch and learn so much from trevon. know what is going to be a pleasure, blah, 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 nothing happens. so, you know, is this a guy suit who is 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 the line between being 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 obviously we've seen these comedians become sources of extra of new people
2:58 pm
watched and comedy central as much as they would watch a news network thinking that they were getting information that was in bias. and so i think nick trevor know, and now real quick in this last couple minutes, i have to ask you, 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, no. as the autobiography was, one of only 2 pieces said, can we expect any mockery of team binding to be a lot less topic and toxic? then maybe what we saw michelle wolf routine was in 2018 o. michelle woke 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 that the president in, in, in very, very, very harsh fashion. why on earth, scotty would, would jill biden assign the biography or autobiography of trevor noah as one of 2 books in her class?
2:59 pm
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 job to the man, looked at president trump in the eye and said, as not he's going to run for president. and guess what he did in the joke was on. i can with you, steven ellensburg. 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, he's tech 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.
3:00 pm
ah, mm hm. russia starts withdrawing its troops from the border with ukraine. military exercises draw to a close bike, daily alarmist western predictions of an imminent russian invasion. so far, we haven't seen any escalation on the ground. despite most goes po bank, the nato chief says he isn't seeing any kinds of d escalation while naming everything is still in place or a russian. i also had in the program. the canadian prime minister trigger is a never before use the emergency. zach brown thing is government extra powers to break up a truck ridge, protest fighting vaccine mandates. it's created concern among provincial chiefs.
