12:30 pm
several times that all americans in ukraine leave now, before it's too late to leave safely. the president of the united states, warning americans to get out of ukraine. now. now they did the same day, they decided to move the cia station in embassy farther from the russian border. but in doing so, they've had to destroy documents and computers. no, there's nothing suspicious about that one organ asked our expert about why did you ever felt this actually was necessary and the significance of what was destroyed and freezing the bank accounts of citizens who post as your roles? that sounds like something a dictator. a do not the head of a parliamentary democracy yet that is exactly a canadian prime minister just in toronto, is doing to those involved in a freedom convoy. meanwhile, the ottawa police chief has resigned after protest, entered into his 3rd week. we're going to bring you the latest as trudeau about the emergency act, which tom say is very hypocritical. considering his past support of
12:31 pm
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 on a cottage as imports of the popular fruit from mexico have been expended. we're going to tell you why and if this is a fruit in the us will always keep for state 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 to actually reinforce ukrainians with the u. s
12:32 pm
. only cindy, a minor fraction of u. s. troops, but only to you. space is all outside of ukraine itself. now in person diplomatic meetings between e, you and russia, leaders have continued including the germans, hanser and 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 one of those telling, i think was ukrainian president who continued public comments asking the west 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 the united
12:33 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 a 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, as ask our expert jeremy, to more off and janitor of covert action,
12:34 pm
a magazine author, the book, the russians are coming again before we get to the destroy documents. so in the sense of equipment that was, it was destroyed. i want to ask you to see that there is a star difference between the 2 sides and in the west taking a more aggressive stance than even ukraine. absolutely, and you know, it's a very bizarre situation that you have the country that's about to be in it. we're not going to be invaded and his outside force keeps saying are going to be an invasion. and you know, i think it just kind of there are 2 current hawks in the u. s. government who think your war is a game. 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 they're 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 kremser descends and soldiers in teaching ukraine. lot of them have had
12:35 pm
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. but the united states 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 yet they're continuing their daily lives, at least they're trying to even though supposing after 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 been able to be conjured up. hence why i think the president of ukraine has been saying, please tone it down for some math 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 for page document is an item they are requesting from nato that they wanna help in its emergency situation. this came out today. and some of these items actually include underwater, metal detectors, 10000 pairs of latex,
12:36 pm
glove, gas mask, and filters, diving white 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 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. it's equipment, but nothing that specifically says we need to 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 ukraine 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 cario numerous violation of immense 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. i read
12:37 pm
it. i mean, they're 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 in 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 maybe playing this up as well and milking, do us roles work for me. and that's, 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 said here 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 him besser, stevens and 3 others and been gauzy. this is a lot of president obama and the chaos inc. a bull including the evacuation of the
12:38 pm
u. s embassy already under 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 and basing 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 stan and other military interventions like vietnam war. so i think they obviously don't want to repeat the p r. disaster been 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,
12:39 pm
but actually moving the embassy instead of just saying, hey, we're going to take a temporary leave and go to other countries like they're doing with their own troops. u. s. government actually said that documents or destroyed including green cards and non process pat, a passport document. however, they said there was other sensitive documents, equipment, but they were 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 way. what kind of equipment has to be absolutely beyond and not noted to the american public were eliminated and disaster is a red flag with you. yeah, 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 year they've been provoking russia and all kinds of underhanded things within russia. with an eastern ukraine, and i think now the time to cover this up and perhaps they've been trying to
12:40 pm
provoke and set up for russia to invade for years now. and if it does happen, they have to hide what on. and it could also be computer equipment and this and material that would give away those secrets well and sorry, a little suspicious, but we just came out, you know, 4 years later or finding out that the hillary clinton camp did spy on the trump campaign. so we know an intelligence just releasing that, and we know that there's lots of tie from both parties over and ukraine. i just have to wonder why could they just not loaded up and move it. and let's remember we had 30000 emails destroyed on secret server with hillary clinton. can't find those . those are been very 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 answer some of our questions right now. thank you. is the canadian prime minister supporting peaceful protest everywhere else, but the ones at home just entered ro, invoked emergency power for the 1st time on response. the ongoing freedom convoy
12:41 pm
protest and the move which is allowed for individual bank accounts. we suspended and general funding for the group to be cut off. i'll focus more power to provincial and local law enforcement to work with the federal police. and for the past 2 weeks, protesters and trucks and other vehicles have parked in the streets of kansas capital rallying against the vaccine mandates and other coven measures by 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 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
12:42 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? does the canadian government support, peaceful protest or not? but us guys this we bring in 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 gonna apply emergency power to disperse. what's left of the frame convoy rally, which has somewhat reduced over the last 3 weeks. that includes freezing personal account, cc vehicles, already cracking down on the money support have set their charity sites. what is
12:43 pm
that like on the ground amongst these truckers right now? well, if somebody really didn't need those charity sites with gifts and go and go find me 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 there, there, 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 there they are, the more that they really are there to stay more so than really i do. 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 very, very long time on that all. and the prime minister has said that these are not
12:44 pm
peaceful, protested, they're actually causing destruction. hence why it's a vote. emergency powers. what are you seeing on the ground? are you seeing destruction? are you seeing these fight 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 church 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, they really do live up to their stereotype of being the nicest people on it. they're just hi, how you do and was perfectly willing to lend an ear. they just want to get the true story out there, which i can address one thing to talk of nazis and confederates here. there was a nazi flag. and guess what? the convoy that 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 is not the . which is interesting because they were that knows about the history of who the nazis words exactly. is about a government putting in mandates on the people which is exactly what these truckers are protesting. so it's an oxymoron. anybody that tries to put that type of label
12:45 pm
on them. but then you look at just in trudeau and it's talk about the freedom convoy in this different light. however, in the past he was supporting other foreign protest. do you think it's because this is hitting home that he causes freedom, convoy and illegal protest? yeah, he's called it anything but a free connelly, you know, i mean he is, he said that it's illegal black k, if he says that these are symbols of hatred and division intolerance and have 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 said that we will always have generic. we will always have engaging conversation. 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 they're one of the very beginning. just have a conversation with us, and yet all these that has gone on air and basically mock them,
12:46 pm
but that's never productive when any leader does that. but there has been some victories for the con boy over the last 3 weeks regarding mandates. appeared to mix related to capacity limits in several provinces with ontario being the latest. does this give the truckers hope to continue on those cold nights? 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 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 results to enter the country . if you need a little wind, 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 seems that the prime minister is not giving us any clue that he's
12:47 pm
going to meet with them directly. instead of these other mayors and other representatives, they're saying we at least want 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 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, if may, between mexico and california farmers. we're going to bring you the details. ah, it's been 30 years as the soviet union collapsed. mom miss gotta go to chill them on to work upon yet. no clue, no talk so. so shown where you all swore trust on one caller from ukraine was one of the independent states that emerged from the ruins of a super about new or somebody will you also get on google greens? come on board, surely confusing some of the i can last new lease in west new deer, better lung or law. totally different. the realist, what as a, as
12:48 pm
a resource for you to view the seriousness of this for the teacher, developing and finish out the should with watch of the past 3 decades. when like for ukraine, eye witnesses recall the events there should be more or less to do to she was in a deficiency of traverse little you what i knew to know it or do sure, i'm not sure. but i did that for months with modern windows and what other forces were at play? producers whom you should see in shin mushy. in those m u r. in the care what it americans to when is the social associate, the moser, the ocean jordan, is take a look at ukraine, 30 years out, the gaining independence. if you're going to remove your phone with us for dinner, unless you mean, yeah, i guarantee retorted live. but a will ethridge if you could re issue ok of lush williston holding star.
12:49 pm
a welcome to max as his financial survival guide. looking forward to your that's without yeah, this is what happens. dimensions and brittany tell at the top of you watch kaiser report. ah, okay. as you may have noticed by now, when a dining out there always seems to be an additional cost to add our condo to your dish. and some would argue the taste is so good, it's worth every penny. and lately, 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 our condos to be harder to come by
12:50 pm
. here in the united states. well, a vast quantity of avocados here in the u. s. are from mexico. did you know they were all coming from one state mutual con, but now after the u. s. department of agriculture reported a verbal threats, importation of the green fruit has been halted. the u. s da has yet to publicly announced details surrounding the verbal threat they received friday while some speculate it could have been from a mexican drug cartel or other local community groups. mexican president, andreas manual lopez, orbit or questions. if the move was political, i envy him which as he been older, there are also a lot of political interest. and there's competition when they don't want mexican alcorto 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 from mexico is having serious effects on california farmers. as intro valley, the brand basket of the nation has already been struggling to produce needed crops
12:51 pm
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 apply to the u. s. even on super bowl sunday, the governor of mitchell con tweeted that regardless of which t one that mitchell con is the true winner of the night. for the month of february alone, a cut of sales were expected to beat $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 arm group burned,
12:52 pm
a set of shipments, reporting for news use hughes and harsh suite r t. okay, let's ask when he knows about this, that i'm not just saying this because of his love for guacamole brock, lori financial x for me, brock and he, you also author this atheism destroy. thank you. thank you so much for having this guy. this is. yeah, it's a, it's not my love particularly, but my son and this, this is going to cause an intuitive impression tailspin because he subsists on our cato 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 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, we want to penalize anybody who makes threats like that. i do get that. but the
12:53 pm
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 this is really a challenge. the way to deal with it is to actually punish those who have threatened the car to growers or whatever my big that's the way to do it not to not to stop the sales of the us and i checked 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 caused 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. that's why a difference in it. and so when you talk about the economic effects, this is going to have short term and the prices will not matter, but it, this last and the long term. will this affect the other thing besides just the
12:54 pm
price of it all? because the grocery store for your son that's true. well, it of a car, those are very instrumental. and so many of the food supplies that we have in, you know, not just mexican food. when you think about other 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 of food in the same way that we need gasoline to transport goods 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 a 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 where you cut off the stick it 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 southern south american countries who the united states just can 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 and
12:55 pm
those regions. right, well there's only a couple of ways to respond to this. one of them is to seek out because some other source and allow that to be shipped in. but then you probably still have to go through 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 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 talking about trade with a separate country,
12:56 pm
it is federal, there are a certain state deals that to, you know, 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 a threat and directly as opposed to punishing everyone else. do you have to, does this remind you of any other issues that could arise with other, 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 condos 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, which we would not be carrying as much about it, but you know, there's competitive scales, right? certain countries are able to do things better because of tropics, 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
12:57 pm
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 look, either we deal with this now and diplomatically or otherwise, or we will see a very steep, very uncomfortable and sad people here in the united states. thanks for joining me . brock and that's all the time that we have today shall. thanks, a camera driven by drink shaped banks interest and those with
12:59 pm
ah, these people learn from their own experience. how vulnerable a business is to the bank. so you push my business over the age, pushes me right to the bankruptcy. now i realize we will good. this isn't just the back that may be involved in this is the concept. see, firms is, is the lawyers, these people have got you want all their stories at a walk kind of whistleblower. tell people's marriages have broken up, lost their family homes. it is spectacularly devastating for people's lives. they have committed suicide, but left behind, nor the explicitly state that it was the constant intimidation and billing by bank officers that late them to i talked to spy obscene. these people up nor
1:00 pm
sold the wall that to never was the was the media was left with on its face off to a flurry of predictions that that'd be an invasion of you crying today instead, russian troops. so we're trying to base off the wrapping up rules at the border or some can't seem to stop bagging the drums of war. the u. s. president, for one who's insisting the threat attack remains very real. the prime minister is in denial and is ignoring the science. he might as well be back at the cottage because he's doing nothing productive or constructive to help this situation. and the canadian prime minister of faith is mounting prussia for peace, whose decision to trigger emergency power is meant for times of national crisis. instead though in response to protest watch truck drivers with.
