jordan, ukraine, on monday, russian president vladimir putin made an address to the country and did it many words on ukraine. do ukrainians know bell these choices? do they understand that their country has become not even the protectorate. now it's a colony with puppets, at its home. this comes after, don't boss, leader is called on pretend to recognize the regions as independent. russian president reiterated ukraine has no control over their own country. and ukraine itself is now being controlled from the outside. it is perpetrated not only by the instructions from the west, but also locally by a network of foreign consultants. and joe's and other institutions deployed any crane. and for more on the latest developments in ukraine returned to negotiate malec, a senior writer for r t. thanks so much for joining us to fix it now. who is and i,

so it is announcement comes after leaders of the separate has regions released televised statements earlier, monday, essentially pleading with putin to recognize them as independent states. so potent is now ordering the russian military to dom boss for public to act as peacekeepers . your comments net. this was a move to very few people expected, but it was announced earlier today and he seemed very receptive to it at the lengthy security council meeting, which unlike the western security councils over the past several days, was fully televised and available to the public. and in the very, very long historically listing grievances, speech. but i wouldn't explained that a, this is a move he said, was long overdue, and implying that he should have done this back in 2014, when to, to regions declarative independence from ukraine. in the aftermath of the might on qu, this is not an invasion. as the west might try to portray it and probably will in the coming minutes. but he did tell the russian defense ministry to basically send

the troops in as peacekeepers at the request of the 2 republics. while they were establishing diplomatic relations with moscow, i see and now prudent elaborates on the potential threat that rash faces. if ukraine joins nato, so the way things are moving, do you think that he has anything to worry about? i mean, ukraine's government since 2014 has been openly anti russian. they've treated russian speakers and ethnic russians inside the country with absolute disdain, and stripped him of any sort of rights. in fact, a thing to precipitated the secession of both crimea and don't yet see who to ask. and even the protest in odessa that was brutally crushed and the people involved burned alive, voiced to propose law by the administration that was literally hand picked by state department officials, banning the use of russian language and the current government that was supposed to be a peacekeepers peace loving alternative to the previous one. a president or shanker,

president zalesky got elected on a piece blank. they basically reaffirmed this anti russian policy and enshrined it into their constitution despite repeated russian requests not to do so. from a geopolitical standpoint, yes, a data presence in ukraine would absolutely put russia in immediate danger, i believe, would naturally describe the exact times that it would take missiles from ukraine to reach moscow and other major cities in russia were such missiles to be deployed and nato technically does have a capability to do that. so in that sense, you create a nato is an instant war between russia, nato, and that's, that's just a fact i'm saying. and what do you see as a main motivator behind pittman's announcement today, and does it change rash as relationship with ukraine? i think something changed over the weekend that forced his hand. that basically maybe was the responses or non responses from the west to russian security

proposals that came in and all the, all these contacts between russia and france and germany and the u. s. in which moscow was trying to get some sort of traction on their security proposals and was getting non responses that for mitchell abra was complaining about i think, put in, sees i'm not in his head, but based on what i've seen today, i think he sees this recognition as a way of a forcing ukraine to back off because ki, have, doesn't want an open war with russia. they like to talk about one, but they wouldn't actually like to fight one. and if he has russian troops in don bass openly, and if these 2 regions are recognizes independent states than any russia, any ukrainian attempt to quote, reintegrate them by force is going to be met with overwhelming russian force. and that in his mind, i think in what he said, and what he argued it is a guarantor of actual ceasefire because ukraine has refused to negotiate with these

separatist regions for 8 years now. and as basically said, we're going to talk to them, we'll talk only to russia and he said, fine, talk to me then. and now ukrainian authorities, they deny it lines launching inoffensive and accused russia of provoking a situation. and we're hearing, you know, 2 completely different stories. how, where people supposed to know what's really happening overseas at this point. what was difficult, i mean, it's one of those. you've got to set to competing narratives. you've got one set of narrative managers in the west who have been heralding and invasion, you know, 3 or 4 times already. and been sharing the sordid, very specific details based on their alleged intelligence. but this is the same intelligence that didn't really see the fall of cobbled to to the taliban back in august last year. so i've, i've consistently been very skeptical of them. and again, all of these supposedly well informed people never saw this recognition move coming either. so i'm inclined to believe that this particular narrative coming out to

western capitals is off as for ukraine. i mean, they haven't been hiding ever since 2014, that their objective is to crush these regions by force and retake them if necessary, by, by military support from the west. so them now saying, oh, we're not doing anything. we're just, you know, poor innocent people standing by here while the evil russians are attacking us. that doesn't pass the smell test to me while they are unfortunately out of time. but now we really appreciate your insight on the matter. thank you so much. thank you. we now moved to canada, an issue that bare attaches close to home for many americans, vaccine mandates or something. the american people are split on the canada has a different constitution. in the last, of course, the streets of downtown ottawa are largely empty after police cleared most of the area over the weekend, nearly 200 ras made and dozens of vehicles are removed. and as our t correspondent paxton boy describes, that looks to be the new normal for quite some time he joined us live in downtown

ottawa paxton a natasha. we are here between queen street and spark street here in downtown ottawa. and this was really the epicenter, the nexus of those demonstrations of those protests that you've seen going on here really for the past 3 weeks. as you can see now, it is a complete ghost town down here largely in part to a massive police exercise that took place at the end of last week. going into the weekend police quite literally pushing protesters back block by block. regaining control of this area and now you see what it looks like. i want to step aside for one second. what you're seeing here are police have barricaded off most of downtown ottawa. you see this blue fencing here behind me. and this is one of the main entry points to the parliamentary precinct, and it has been restricted pretty much to everyone except parliament employees and residents in that area. this was erected over the weekend and you're seeing a ton of checkpoints all throughout downtown ottawa residents who are coming in

here have to show some sort of verification that they have business here that they live here. whatever the case may be. very strict and you know m. yeah, we had to go through like 4 checkpoints to get to our hotel just a couple of days ago. now this is sadly what you're going to be seeing for the foreseeable future. i talked to several police officers who say that, you know, they don't want to give up the grow that they've gained back. so unfortunately for the foreseeable future, for these auto residents, for people who want to make their way downtown, this is going to be the new or new normal for quite sometime. natasha. wow, certainly an adjustment now packs and we see 1000 us truckers are scheduled to begin their freedom convoy to morrow beginning in california traveling to washington dc. have you heard anything from truckers there about the support they've received from americans? yes, we haven't seen many truckers here,

like we said the most for the most part they have been escorted out of the area. but we have talked to several people who support the movement and there are certainly happy to see that they've inspired these convoys. these protests, these movements all around the world, really? and yeah, of course, like we said, we've heard for weeks that the rumors are that they're going to make their way to dc likely for president biden state of the union address. and you still see more action going on here in canada as well as we hear those convoys have moved about 60 miles outside of the southwest of downtown ottawa, to a truck or russ. stop it also to quebec city as well. so still plenty of action going on here in canada. i spoke to one police officer who said, you know, even though it's calm down here in ottawa, he doesn't believe it's over quite yet. wow packs, and boy, thank you so much, really appreciate your lab report. well, my team austin police officer recently indicted over their actions during the 2020 george floyd protest. the officers report late use non lethal beanbags during the

protest in texas. however, they are being charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. when protest her was hit in the head and suffered several injuries including a broken jaw. so it did these officers break protocol or is the district attorney turning his back on police for more insight on the matter we bring in mark blue, a retired san diego police officer who now lives in austin, texas. thanks so much for joining us. mark. hi natasha. so we know that protests that occurred in 2020 brought some people to gather and polarized others, which is another topic completely on its own. i want to focus on the video services online about the incident having been in the feel yourself. tell us what you see where the officer is breaking protocol. ok, well the videos that i've seen show the officers responding to of large protests involving several the individuals committing criminal acts such as vandalism, in

a soul, towards the officers. a large number of the subjects ignored orders by police to disperse from the area after austin pdf made several announcements over the p. a system declaring it unlawful assembly. and when things got out of control and officers felt that if it was allowed to continue, then the acts of violence would escalate and were resulting more injuries and property damage in the distance. now the question i have for you is, why are these officers being indicted? when they use non lethal rounds, is it because they shot it been you know, with the injury occurring or what is the reason in your opinion? yeah, that's a great question. tasha. and it's hard to pinpoint at this point because we really don't know how all the information about the incident that's made available, made available to the public. and following the announcement of the indictments

that travis county district attorney, jose garza probably identified the less legal bean bag round, says deadly weapons. and this legally is completely inconsistent with the a b apd sparren usa worst policy that is actually reviewed by all district attorney's office. prior to the implementation of the policy and this isn't. busy this isn't the 1st time that you know, this kind of thing is how and then. ready in 2004 to re celebration in boston, a non lethal pepper gun was used to release chemicals, forcing across the disperse, and one of the projectiles struck a college student in the eye that ultimately resulted in her death. and in that case that the officer was never indicted. interesting, i wonder what makes the situation different now as an officer responding to a violent situation. it seems as though you have to act very quickly,

making the best judgment possible. do you agree with the travis county district attorney here and why do you think he came to the conclusion that he did? you know, you're absolutely right. officers need to make the split 2nd decisions. and i like you mentioned, and are usually not provided with adequate training as it relates to the use of these non the ball rounds. however, these, these local police review boards and grand juries that are evaluate some of these possible agency violations. they have the ability to evaluate whether be police body cam footage or other types of video for the, for these incidents. and still, those am in slow motion that allows them to see things that officers just are not able to see. given the situation that where they have to make decisions affecting what's going on these decisions made by these boards are affect the livelihood of officers that are accused of these things. yeah, unfortunately, we are out of town,

mark the well, we really appreciate your insight. thank you. so much parents are fighting back against mass mandates in schools by pointing out the hypocrisy, maskeen children plus is an entire generation missing out on becoming socialized, we discussed the dangers of your shoulder and only seeing the world from behind a screen say what it's been 30 years since the soviet union collapsed, um, misconduct. go to chill them on to water pump it nuclear, you know, took so, so shown where you swore trust on one pool or thumb. ukraine was one of the independent states that emerged from the ruins of a superpower or somebody. would you also get on google greens? come a little more surely. confusion from us. they act and less nutrition. west india, better lung or law. totally different or else what is a is there is for children. elaine, a surface petition developing and finish out the should with unusual

for water. the past 3 decades, we'd like for ukraine, eye witnesses recall the events. this would be more or less. so just to shoot in a deficiency of chipotle, you are on using more familiar with that order. i'm not sure, but i've been about 4 months with no idea what else and what other forces were at play. you have to do so to whom you show in shin mushy in those in you put in the kid a watered little currency, little bit. when is it the shows us them was a little versions. rosalie's take a look at ukraine, 30 years out, the gaining independence if you're gonna need your phone with us for dinner, unless you mean like you to give her thought it was live, but a will, it could be issue. you must on old still problem in

ah, bring you the very latest every out the day. this is our national family. everyone here with ah, there is extreme nationalism which has been released to the us. and they want us dominance. but surely, they are sensible voices and the usa, that conflict is where you are heading gauntlet. gore war is not the way. there is another way where it could be when it went for on everyone. and i certainly believe that the corporation between china and the united states, and even for that matter, russia will benefit mankind much more than

a contract in ah now americans remain split unmasked mandate, especially when it comes to kids wearing them in school. but the new governor of virginia just signed a bill into law that school districts must be make masking optional beginning march 1st. but some school board members are finding the governor's orders. 7 of the state school boards are even suing, hoping to reverse glen young can optional order. well, they claim that it violates the state's constitution when complying with federal health recommendations. but parents are taking a stand. aleisha bought a parent in montgomery county, stood up showing

a picture of the school board member susan cas mask. let's take a listen. miscast. you also yelled at me the last time i was here for taking off my mask. but here's a picture of you right here. on facebook with a craft of people. that's it with no mask on. this is mom and i don't know you can we have a police officer please? really? yes here because i know i'm not scared. i don't care. as mrs. cas tried to have a police escort the parent out of the meeting, one school board member stood up for the parent to have her chance to speak causing school board members using cast to storm out of the meeting. she should be able to say her piece, paul, i've had to listen to people come and criticize me, i see or possible. all right, and for more on the matter, we bring in it,

dr. jeffrey barky. what of the founding members of america's frontline doctors? thanks so much for joining us, dr. barky. natasha. great to be with you. thanks for having me. now 1st, before we get into that drama that happened over in montgomery county, i want to ask your opinion about masking and children being forced to wear a mask while attending school. so now before 2020, if someone was sick they would stay home, maybe not. but now people sensitivity to hearing someone cough is heightened. do you think children have in the option of wearing a mask in virginia is a good thing for their mental well being. or do you sigh with the district here? will natasha the problem, as i see it is we're never asking the question, what are the consequences of the public health policies? and if we ask that question, we'll realize that masking children is not simply a neutral activity masking. children directly harms the children,

and it does so in many different ways. it causes anxiety, depression, learning disorders. during the pandemic, we've seen the highest level of suicidal ideation and teenagers that we've ever seen. not to mention that the science behind masking is sketchy at best masks. simply do not protect children against a viral respiratory illness, especially the kind of mask that most children where the cloth master, the homemade mass, they simply don't work. so the idea that we should force our children to go to school with a mass on makes no sense at all. and as a matter of fact, in my opinion, i think masking children is a form of abuse. it harms them directly and it causes no benefit. that's a really interesting point. and now we have seen this hypocrisy before where some people are not practicing what they preach. do you think the masking is becoming more of a political policy?

well, no question about it. i live in california and we saw during the nfl playoffs that our own governor newsome was caught posing with magic johnson who was immunocompromised, by definition, without a mask on even the mayor of los angeles. eric gar setty a pull day. i don't inhale move when he said, i'm holding my breath when i take my mask off. the hypocrisy the hypocrisy we see from our leaders is just staggering. and i think people have had enough. they realize that mass are harming children. they realize that the leaders that are imposing these rules are not following themselves, and our parents have just had enough. i think the right thing to do is to stand up like that lady did at the school board and say we see right through you. we see the hypocrisy and we're not going to put up with it. and now whether people disagree or agree with that parent and montgomery county, it surely took a lot of guts for her to stand at there and confront the school board member. and

so we also had school board members recalled by parents in san francisco. do you think it's important for parents to stand up about the rights of their children in this way? it's more important now than ever. listen, these are government schools that are supported by parental taxpayer dollars. they are our schools and we need to stand up for what we believe. we need to either remove our kids from these governments. schools that don't share our values, or we need to recall school board members and put members in place that share our values. these are our schools in our schools are failing our children. and i am very glad to see that parents across the united states are standing up and saying, we're not going to take it any more if they can do that in liberal san francisco, remove 3 school board members. you can do that anywhere in the united states. have courage go to school board meetings and speak out on behalf of your children that

are kately really appreciate your and site. thank you so much. natasha. thanks for having me. well, pre panoramic finding a job with remote work was far and fewer in between. now we are seeing a huge boom in the work from home culture. it reports say as jen z there was born after 1997 enter the workforce. they will never step foot in an office. they have spent the last 2 years completing college from zoom and now may never meet their professional colleagues face to face class. we have a huge push towards home schooling, as parents decided they wanted more control over their children's education during the pandemic. how will this isolation impact their personal and professional lives to discuss? we bring in tyrrell ventura, host of watching the hocks right here on our tea america. thanks for joining us. carol. thank you. so let's start with this work from home culture. you work from home as well sometimes, but had years of working in the office, you know,

we're seeing higher percentages of depression and social anxiety in the younger generations as they live out their lives on social media. only 45 percent of the gen c field or mental health is in a positive place, is put in their work life behind a screen dangerous for their personal health. well, i don't know, but it's dangerous or not. it's interesting because when they, when they poll, jen z on this is them being a unique generation here in the united states of, of working from home are kind of coming into the major workforce of their lives, having to do it from home. because of the pandemic, most of them, most of the things that they're asking for is really they're just asking for a mentor or somebody say, hey look, i can't physically be there. but i wouldn't mind someone who can like kind of mentor me and tell me what i should say or what i shouldn't say, or what i should expect or what i shouldn't expect. that normally you would see that you normally, you might get that like physically going to an officer physically going to work and they're not asking for someone to be like, necessarily like

a boss. you're mentoring them, but just somebody you know who's equal to them are a little bit higher, been doing a little longer at the same time though, you also still see lots of poles out there for millennials and others saying that no, actually we prefer to still work from home because it gives us the freedom to really focus on our job and not have to get all i get caught up in the kind of gossip office politics, office bullying, and off of sexism. but we've seen play out over the years. up until this point in history, so you can see a lot of good and you can see a lot of bad and we're just trying to navigate our way through it at this point. care. yeah, definitely it's and present cause. and this is starting earlier and earlier as kids are getting a traditional college for online courses and home schooling is also on the rise. or we see an entire generation losing out on socialization. that i could definitely agree. i mean, look, we all get

a certain form of social socialization from obviously talking on the internet or on your phone or, you know, things of that nature. but there is that human to human contact. and i think my concern for that more comes in the home schooling than it does, let's say in college and things like that. because look at 18 to 22 year old. still going to go out and run around in public. we haven't gotten to the point where they don't want to do that, but when you're talking about younger kids and you know, being home schooled by parents as we're seeing more kids do that. it's important for those parents to remember that they still need to get their kids involved in social activities outside of the home, you know, whether that be athletics or, or any number, you know, boy scout girl. that way. any number of different group appear settings that are outside of the immediate home and or even in the home. you know, even if it's like a group of kids getting together to hang out in the back yard or, or you know, in the basement or whatever, like i did when i was growing up. those things are important in those types of social interactions are very important. you can't just kind of keep your child in the bubble and, and keep and keep the rest of the world away from them. because that does that to

me, and my unprofessional, the personal opinion of a dangerous cocktail for someone who needs to adjust to know what it's like to work and operate in a, in a fully functioning society. absolutely great point. as always, tara tara, thank you so much. well, that's all the time we have for today's show. i'm in, tasha suite in for scotty now hughes, thank you so much for watching. have a great night. the coin is on its own vector, right? so that vector is going in a direction that is non obeying the classic 2 party system or the classic cartels. whether it's the 14 families and al salvador or the 12 member banksley central banking system, here in the u. s. or any of the other cartels of power cartels that it's on its own vector, it's going in its own direction and it exposes a lot of these car dealt i think what we're seeing and in canada, for example,

as the result of these money printing, central banks have destroyed society and without big coin, they wouldn't be obvious. join me every thursday on the alex simon, should i'll be speaking to guess from the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then back. kaiser's financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean a downside? artificial mortgage? greg? don't get carried away. what kind of to report? oh, more than 20 years have passed since one of the world's deadliest terrorist attacks that took thousands of lives. people started to scream. there was

a wave that came up for us that was like opening up an oven door, but not all wounds of heel. the survivors and respond does have increased rates of cancer and other health issues. due to the dust and chemicals they inhaled. i come here to get my blood cleaned out, the metals, a lot of blood in my blood, in terms of 1st responder was well over a 100001st responders. and there was some estimates that tend to 20 percent still have to yes. so we have a cheat full recovery. it's my wife a minute i have with friends, i thought i was home before this really home was you depreciate life with

ah, russian law makers approve the deployment of troops abroad on the president's request . vladimir putin. lo says he has no immediate plans to use that authorization and the newly recognized don boss, republics. but this comes off the president bush and recognize the independent subunits. can look on scrub publics pledging to ensure peace in the region. history, i still not, i'm certain we haven't been abandoned and that we have a future clean grease at the knees with tears and we are happy, at least there will now be order. the bombings will stop and people will be able to lead normal lives or sold. it's better to put on a bullet proof vest before thought working. while we are now waiting for the red cross who are going to.
