9:30 pm
act which some say is very hypocritical, concerning his past support of a social movement at home and around the world. and it looks like the u. s. a has hit glock bottom, at least in regards to the trade of our cutters. as imports of the popular fruit from mexico have been extended. we're going to tell you why, and if this is a fruit and the us will always keep austin port, i'm sky now here in these stories are on this edition of news use use. let's get started. ah, this was supposed to be a day of invasion. well, that was at least according to us intelligence. but if you have been watching this show over the last few weeks, you would know none of the normal signs were present, which would actually validate this accusation by the us. so let's go over a few nato troops were not mobilized,
9:31 pm
actually reinforced ukrainians with the us only sidney a minor fraction of u. s. troops, but only to us base is all outside of ukraine itself. now in person diplomatic meetings between e, you and russia, leaders have continued including the german cancer in moscow. on the same day as this invasion was supposed to occur. and no countries actually told their citizens to leave ukraine. well, that is, except for the u. s. in the u. k and no one including the united states, actually closed their embassy in moscow. and when i was telling, i think was ukrainian president who continued public comments. asking the wes please toll down your rhetoric. and instead of warning his own citizens to prepare for this invasion at the time, an exact date that us intelligence leaked, it was going to happen. he told them to enjoy a day of unity. in fact, the country taking the most aggressive steps regarding this invasion was united
9:32 pm
states and as the tradition has gone with this administration, those were mainly in the use of words, a warning of attack threats, a very harsh sanctions, and the promise of more us taxpayer dollars in aid, but even as russia confirmed troops were being moved, following their completion of the exercises. western media and the president still continue to push this fear of an eminent invasion saying troops are just being shifted and the aren't knighted states is still so competent, an invasion is coming. they have moved the american embassy from its original site in care to live over a city in western ukraine. but this is no small move as amongst many issues moving it embassy can create u. s. is admitting to actually destroying sensitive documents and equipment, which is a big red flag. so why did they have to destroy any computers or documents? well, i fast are expert, jamie cuz morris and she had her of covered action,
9:33 pm
a magazine author. the book though russians are coming again before we get to the destroy doctrines, though in the center of equipment that was good was destroyed. i want to ask you to see that there is a stark difference between the 2 sides, and is the west taking a more aggressive stance than even ukraine? absolutely, a very bizarre situation that you have the country that's about to be envision it. we're not going to be invaded and his outside forest keeps saying are going to be the vision. and i think it just kind of there are 2 current hawks in the u. s. government who think your wars again and you know, there are countries that have to bear the brunt of it or not so quick to get involved in these wars and are going to do everything to prevent them because they understand how terrible work and d and ukraine would be devastated by war. they've already suffered the people in eastern ukraine of, for, and you trans, at descended soldiers in houston,
9:34 pm
ukraine. all of them have had a seen and done terrible things. so i mean, they understand their government and people understand they're going to do everything to prevent the war. the united states, you know, has an experience wars really, since world war 2 or nothing on soil since the civil war. so i think there are, you know, they still think it's a game and, but it's very real for the people of ukraine. it's very willing if they're continuing their daily lives, at least they're trying to even though supposedly not to 3 weeks, 4 weeks of this economically, they've been shut down. not because of the actions of the russians because of the actions of the west and the fear that's been able to be conjured up. hence where i think the president of ukraine has been saying, please turn it down for us on behalf of my people. but now we gotta talk about the u. s. reaction. and what do you i said to him because ukraine is actually sent over . oh, so they, they've also sent over this 4 page document. it's an item they are requesting from nato that they want help in this emergency situation. this came out today. and some of these items actually include underwater, metal detectors, 10000 pairs of latex,
9:35 pm
glove, gas mask, and filters, diving, wet suits, and field camp equipment that can accommodate 253 people. listen, i read over this list and let me take it. it's quite thick, but it's specifically, it's like you would get, you know, ada dick's sporting goods. you go to a sporting goods shop and try to get a little bit more space equipment, but nothing that specifically says we need help an attack. it's more about if we are attacked or if we want to go camping on some of these items. what do you make about this idea that you crank, you might say was this is to justify the billions of dollars that is possibly already been spent in the united states is going to give in aid? i think so. yeah, i mean ukraine has also been provoking russia for years now. and they've carideo numerous violation of the men's reports and they've gotten millions of dollars. i think in january the u. s. at 90 tons of military aid, something like $650000000.00 in military equipment in the last year of lee
9:36 pm
i mean that there are also flying up and you know that government, i think people, i mean ukraine is listed as one of the most corrupt governments in the world and zalinski came as a reformer, but i don't think they've actually seen much great reform since he's come in. so, i mean, there are political reasons. the ukrainian government may be playing this up as well and milking view us roles work for me. and i think you've got jaws bandages and, and different sizes. i mean, these are not things. this is just like i almost a registry of items that every country should have in their stockpiles. and yet here the united states was given this lesson to adhere to fort nato, fill up our list, and make sure that you mark off which country buys what. but i will say that the united states does not have this and try a good track record in regards to protecting the embassies. you know, i think of the death of ambassador stevens and 3 others and been gauzy. this is a lot of president obama and the chaos in kabul, including the evacuation of the u. s. embassy. all right,
9:37 pm
and are president biden earlier in his term? those were both in hot zones as compared to ken currently. however, do you think that past is what the u. s. is going off of embracing this move? probably, i mean, they weren't, you know, maybe damage control, but i think there is a larger issue that the united states often doesn't protect its own personnel very well. i mean their, their brother interests at play when they become involved in these countries, and they don't always do what it's necessary to protect their own people or their own allies. like we've seen afghan, the stand and other military intervention like vietnam war. busy so i think they obviously don't repeat the p r disaster, ben gas, if a war with breakouts. so they've taken that step and maybe it's also part of this feeder, pretending this invasion might take place, so they can keep these military shipments going forward. well, but it also comes back to question a lot of questions are being raised, but actually moving the embassy instead of just saying, hey, we're going to take
9:38 pm
a temporary leave and go to other countries like they're doing with their own troops. us government actually said the documents were destroyed, including green cards, the non process pat passport document. however, they said there was other sensitive documents, equipment, but they weren't going to release what they were. you've been involved in some security behind the scenes. what kind of equipment had to be destroyed rather than just loaded up on the u. haul and moved farther away. what kind of equipment has to be absolutely beyond and not noted to the american public were eliminated and does that raise a red flag with you? yes, i think it raises a major red flag there, protecting a covert operation. you know that this has been a covert and misinformation operation from the beginning going for years now. and i think for years they've been provoking russia and doing all kinds of underhanded things within russia. it's an eastern ukraine and i think now is the time to cover this up. and perhaps they've been trying to provoke and set up russia to invade for
9:39 pm
years. now, and if it does happen, they have to hide what on. and it could also be computer equipment in this and material that would give away those secrets well and sorry, i'm a little suspicious, but we just came out, you know, 4 years later finding out that the only kind camp did spy on the trump campaign. so we know an intelligence just releasing that, and we know that there's lots of time from both parties over in ukraine. i just have to wonder why could they just not load up and move it. and let's remember we had 30000 emails destroyed and secret server with hillary clinton can't find those . those have been very, i damaging if we knew lots of questions. and unfortunately, once they're destroyed, they're gone. thank you so much though for coming with us and, and answering some of our questions right now. thank you. is the canadian prime minister supporting peaceful protest everywhere else, but the ones at home but just entered row and vote emergency power for the 1st time on response. the ongoing freedom convoy protest and the move which is allowed for
9:40 pm
individual bank accounts to be suspended. and general funding for the group to be cut off also gives more power to provincial and local law enforcement to work with the federal police and for the past 2 weeks, protesters and trucks. now the vehicles have parked in the streets of canada's capital rallying against a vaccine mandates and other coven measures by tribes government. but trudeau has held nothing back in bashing the truckers here in our capital city, families and small businesses have been enduring, illegal obstruction of their neighborhoods, occupying the streets, harassing people, breaking the law. this is not a peaceful protest at the borders in different parts of the country. the blockades are harming our economy and endangering public safety. but on the other hand, the prime minister supported a farmer protest in india and 2020, even though the so called anti farm law protest was an internal affair and caused
9:41 pm
economic harm to the country of india. the situation is concerning and we're all very worried about family and friends. i know that's the reality for many of you. let me remind you, canada will always be there to defend the right of peaceful protest, we believe in the importance of dialogue. and that's why we've reached out to multiple means directly to the indian authorities to highlight our concerns. so which one is it that the canadian government support, peaceful protest or not? let us guys this who bring it off and hey, i've spent nearly then a ground in auto. austin, thanks for joining me on this. thanks for i'm here. okay, so the canadian prime minister, he's going to play emergency power to disperse. what's left of the frame convo rally, which has somewhat reduced over the last 3 weeks. that includes freezing personal accounts, easy vehicles, already cracking down on the money support have set their charity sites. what is it
9:42 pm
like on the ground amongst these truckers right now? well listen, they really didn't need those charity sites with gifts and go and go find me and all that the government has seized and frozen and refunded over $20000000.00. that would have gone to this convoy all that being said, it's kind of a misnomer that the convoy is decreasing in size. yes, it decreases from saturday and sunday to monday, every week and a gross. because the longer their, their, the more people, the more canadians, more americans from all over canada, north america, they come up to this convoy. and they realize that the longer they're, they're, the more that they really are there to stay more so than really i think a lot of us have ever seen before when it comes to protests. so every time that more people come, they're just giving money. they're giving gas cards, they're giving us food hand warmers to all these truckers and they can actually subsist or a very long time on that. well and the prime minister has said that these are not
9:43 pm
people protested. they're actually causing destruction. his wife, evoke emergency powers. what are you seeing on the ground? are you seeing destruction? are you seeing these fights that he's saying there's breaking out? are you seeing the looting in the crime happening? that the prime minister is using to justify his actions? yeah, the rhetoric coming out of trudeau has been insane compared to on the ground. these fuckers have been the nicest people i've ever met. and for lack of a better term base really do live up to their stereotype of being the nicest people on earth. they just, hi, how you doing was perfectly willing to lend an ear. they just want to get the true story out there. which of i can address one thing to there was to talk to nazis and confederates here. there was a nazi flag. and guess what? the convoy surrounded him, walked him to the police and said, we don't want to hear this is not for us. and yet still they get painted as nazis. which is interesting because they were that knows about the history of the nazis. words exactly as about a government putting in mandates on the people which is exactly what these truckers are protesting. so it's an oxymoron. anyway, that tries to put that type of
9:44 pm
a label on them, but then you look at just injured oh and talk about the freedom convoy in this different light. however, the past who is supporting other foreign protest, do you think it's because it's, it's heading home that he calls this freedom convoy and a legal protest? yeah, he's called it anything but a friction convoy. you know, i mean, he said that it's a legal black caves. he says that these are symbols of hatred and division in tolerance. and hey, just all these things. he won't even address them. and this goes back to the b o m process and him being fully supportive of them. and then also in india that you alluded to before. it's interesting. he says that we will always have generic. we will always have engaging conversations. he hasn't even engaged in these conversations once the majority of truckers are just asking for a willingness to talk which he has not even been giving them that luxury well and that's it. that's all that one of the very beginning, just have a conversation with us and yet all he's done is gone on air and basically mocked them with. that's never productive when any later does that. but there have been
9:45 pm
some victories for the convoy over the last 3 weeks regarding mandates. epidemics related to capacity limits in several provinces with ontario being the latest. does this give the truckers hope to continue on those called nice especially yeah, i've been talking with them and they are just they sparkle and they hear like, oh man that happened in france. oh. but it's not as effective because they're not as organized. it happened in australia which was a hot bed of vaccine mandates and ready to implode on themselves. it's going to happen in the us pretty soon. and even with getting rid of all these restrictions in the provinces and then even in federal canada, which they are planning on taking away their negative co results to enter the country. they need a little whim, but they're like, this is pebbles to the actual storm that they're trying to to get going because they are here. they're here to stay and everyone has that. it has to be full mandate dropping before they leave. well, and of course, at this point it's in the progress or is that giving us any clue that he's going to
9:46 pm
meet with them directly instead of these other mayors and other representatives that are saying we at least one to hear them out, which is always helpful awesome, thank you so much for joining us. i stay warm up there in canada. thank you very much. around this guy. said the united states is stuck between a guam and a hard place as the populace fruit is about to be rare to find. unless a deal is made between mexico and california farmers. whenever you the details. ah ah, 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 modern devices like electric cars,
9:47 pm
mobile phones and computers. 60 percent of the world's cobalt reserves are in congo, but 20 percent of it comes from small scale minus unicef figures, confirm that in 2017. more than $40000.00 children worked in cobalt mining in the republic to earn a living and paying for schooling. next time you use a fancy gadget like a smartphone camera or, or laptop, and just remember that there's a chance it works thanks to a child hard labor children like john michelle henry at o countless others like them l look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to
9:48 pm
place trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence, real summoning demon, ah, a robot must protect its own existence with the monopoly. the semiconductor business would obviously be in taiwan with 80 percent of the market and going forward the, the need for diversity in the market is been screaming out loud for decades. but because of the vagaries of via money that allow for a concentration of power involved in the cluster, craddick hands of the khaki stock or see the least qualified to rule. you have market breakdown supply chain breakdown and economic collapse.
9:49 pm
ah, as you may have noticed by now, when a dining out there always seems to be an additional cost to add a condo to your dish, and some would argue the taste is so good. it's worth every penny. and lightly, prices for the green fruit are soaring in a grocery stores nationwide. but now as our to correspond, natasha sweet explains. a recent issue may cause ob cono's to be harder to come by here in the united states. a vast quantity of avocado here in the u. s. are from mexico. did you know they were all coming from one state, mitchell con, but now after the u. s. department of agriculture reported a verbal threats importation of the green fruit has been halted. the usda has yet to publicly announce details surrounding the verbal threat they received friday, while some speculate it could have been from
9:50 pm
a mexican drug cartel or other local community groups. mexican president andre manual lopez orbit or questions. if the move was political i, the images and all of this, there are also a lot of political interest. and there's competition when they don't want mexican avocados to get in the united states, right? because it wouldn't rule in the united states because of its quality. there are other countries interested in selling avocados, woke up and now abruptly stopping the importation of avocados for mexico is having serious effects on california farmers. a central valley. the bread basket of the nation has already been struggling to produce needed crops with past drought conditions. and the high cost for water, and it takes on average more than 250 gallons of water to produce just one pound of avocados. as it stands right now, the golden state only produced is roughly 10 percent of the nation's avocados, and local growers say this move could cause prices for the green fruit to rise even higher. according to the u. s. da, mexico exports about 80 percent of its supply to the us even on super bowl sunday.
9:51 pm
the governor of mutual con, tweeted that regardless of which team one that mitchell con is the true winner of the night. for the month of february alone, avocado sales were expected to be $350000000.00. but now that could all change the state full of rich soil and sunshine has been exporting f. a caught us to the u. s . for the past 25 years. with only 3000 avocado farms from california central coast to san diego, some farmers stay there is simply no way to make up for the foreign avocados locally. now, this isn't the 1st time the u. s. has halted mexico from exporting their avocados to the us. back in 2020, there was a month pause after an armed group burned a set of shipments, reporting for news, use hughes and hash a suite r t. okay, let's ask one who knows about this, and i'm not just saying this because of his love for guacamole brock, lori financial expert, or me, brock and you also author this atheism destroy. thank you. thank you so much for having this guy. this is. yeah, it's a,
9:52 pm
it's not my love particularly but my son and this, this is going to cause an intuitive oppression. tailspin because he subsists on ricardo every single day. so look as if the supply chain problem wasn't already much of a problem, right, scotty, this is, this is a real issue. these will have massive problems for the economy. and particularly for the farmers and the truckers and those who pick they and clean the car of course, and those who bring it to market and of course their families on both sides of the border. so it's a big issue. the response to it. like i understand that we want to penalize anybody who makes threats like that. i do get that, but the question is how do you respond to it? this is a ridiculous approach. it's like closing down a freeway because someone was caught speeding. right? so that's not, that's not the way we go about doing this. and i think there's just really a challenge. the way to deal with it is to actually punish those who have threatened the categories or whatever my big that's the way to do it,
9:53 pm
not to not to stop the sales of the cause and effect. all those innocent people. that's just not what we do well and they say this is under the premise of security . but let me talk about all of the things that cause danger to human lives, on both side of the border there for some reason for decades. now we've not been able to stop, so it's amazing that we can stop all because we can't stop fat. no, i think that's an issue right now. it's like why is a difference in it? and so when you talk about the economic effects, this is going to have short term this and the prices will not matter, but it's this last and a long term. well, this effect, other things besides just the price of it all because the grocery store for your son that's true. well, i, i, because are very instrumental as so many the food supplies that we have. and you know, i'm not just mexican food. when you think about all the condos it's, it's actually a staple for so many different people and it's used as a substitute for butter and many other things as well. so we'll have a big ripple effect. i think a bit is the gasoline food in the same way that we need gasoline to transport goods
9:54 pm
here and there we, we need because in a way that it's very instrumental or all sorts of food supply. so yes, it's going to be very damaging thing in the short run and probably in the long run, if they don't do something about it. now that's, that's a real issue. it's just basic supply demand and you cut off the spigot prices increase. ok, so could this carry over into other obviously, because about the only thing that we take from mexico and this also affect our trade with other south south american countries who the united states just can't actually raise the food because we don't have the climate or more importantly, the dedication to the fruit and vegetable that can only grow in those areas in those regions. right, well, there's only a couple of ways to respond to this. one of them is to seek out some or some other source and allow that to be shipped in. but then you're probably still have to go up to mexico one way or the other, maybe perhaps through that state. so it's a challenge if they want to do it this way, i do not understand why they do not simply attack this problem, this threat, which was the cause and the catalyst for this temporary freeze. i don't know or
9:55 pm
know why they simply don't simply attack the source and sanction that particular group or that has been the threat. we haven't seen what the specifics of the threat are, but to the extent that it is a threat to deal with the threats that don't punish everyone else. is this a federal issue, or is this really just dealing with the farmers of california and those that are local in mexico, or is this something that should be on a federal scale that actually here in washington d. c. should get involved with diplomatically? well, it is a federal issue. whenever tech met trade with a separate country, it is federal. there are a certain state deals that 2 across the board. of course, it's no issue there, but this is a federal trade issue. the state, meaning the united states should be involved in this and do something about this diplomacy. sure, but i, i think it's, it's kind of an easy answer here is to deal with the threat directly as opposed to punishing everyone else. do you have the, does this remind you of any other issues that can arise with other,
9:56 pm
other things that we import in? and is this something that would actually be qualified if we were actually able to raise and grow all the kind of in the united states? would we be caring about this, this point? well, that's a great question. certainly, if we were able to support ourselves altogether we, we will not be caring as much about it, but you know, there's competitive scales, right? certain countries are able to do things better because we've topics like you mentioned gardening, as opposed to our country, we don't have the same kind of environment and tropic tropical weather and in order to justify growing up the cato. so i don't know. certainly if we were able to be a cato independent and believe me, that's what my son would like us to be. then that would be a very different story. but look what's happening with the or oil production. we were oil independent and we decided to see the 30 there as well. so lucky either we deal with this now and diplomatically or otherwise, or we will have re stupid, uncomfortable,
9:57 pm
and sad people here in the united states. thanks for joining me. brock and that's all the time that we have today shall. and so i think a ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith?
9:58 pm
in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. with these people learn from their own experience, how vulnerable of business is to the bank. so he pushes my business over, the age, pushes me right to the edge, bankruptcy. now i realize we will go, this isn't just the back that may be involved in this is the concept. see, thumbs. it is the lawyers. these people have got you want other stories and it was kinda whistleblower. tell people's marriages have broken up and lost their family homes. it is spectacularly devastating for people's lives. they have committed suicide, but left behind norwich,
9:59 pm
10:00 pm
with russia does withdrawn his troops from the border with ukraine as military exercises draw to a close. despite daily alarmist western predictions of an imminent russian invasion, we have not yet verify the russian military units are returning to their home basis . despite the major pullback of russian troops, the white house doesn't yet see the escalation with joe biden saying he once more proved the canadian prime minister triggers never before used emergencies are granting his government extra powers to break up a truck. his protest fighting bark seed mandates is great concern among provincial achieves to question the measures points on legitimacy. we don't believe this is necessary in operative we think it could actually be somewhat counterproductive. it is.
