11:00 pm
fight for my country. no, no. could i have done things differently? yes, absolutely. do i now think that violence is not the means to achieve anything? absolutely. ah. the board of crises has now been declared a state of emergency in united states. all that's at least for a liberal town for border states, a drop of migrant illegally coming into the country. where i give you a $360.00 view of how the migration crisis is impacting countries around the world . i'm the guy now hughes. let's get started right now. the southern border is overrun with people a legally coming into the united states. though the administration will tell you the border is secure. we have a secure border in that that is
11:01 pm
a priority for any nation, including ours in our administration, texas governor greg abbott and florida governor rhonda santas are taking matters into their own hands by busing. these migrants to other cities in america who claim to be sanctuary. cities with her class, when i heard that the president is scrambling together to try to address the bad owners who are helping to relocate for border states are pushing back and it keeps sending. a bus is at planes, a full people to cities, claiming to accept my grants with open arms and promises to provide them with shelter and resources all to help start their new life. in america. however, only 4000 the 1600000 migrants who illegally cross the border have now actually reached new york city. but new york city governor eric adam says enough,
11:02 pm
and he begging the governors to stop because he says his city is already over run. these trends continue. we will be over $100000.00 in the year to come as far more than the system was ever designed. to handle, this is on sustainable. we have city is doing all return, but we are reaching the outer limit of our ability to help. but it's not just america facing this problem. new leaders in italy are now proposing an act of war to stop migrants from flooding into their country. they also side a bill saying they will stop getting money to syria because they have given it too much to the country and they need to fix themselves. now. even one reason for breaks it was a britain wanting to have more control the people coming into their country after a string of terrorist attack done by people who snuck in under the guise asylum seekers and being a part of the you didn't allow them to control at the beginning of the ukraine and
11:03 pm
russia's most recent conflict, people in poland were leaving strollers for mothers coming from ukraine escaping the terrors. now people are done, they don't want to accept anymore. pre refugees, especially after so many countries in europe have given weapons and billions of dollars to ukraine for then defy thrown cause. and it's not just ukrainian refugees remember. and the tragic afghanistan pull out, people were turned away by countries who promised to support them when they were trying to flee the taliban rule. we are now joined by a political commentator and journalist bradley blankenship rally. thanks for joining us. over the last few months, at least 2 european countries, italy and sweden have seen right wing parties win elections. this is all the time with you as galvanized, it stays to sanction blockade russia over the russia, ukraine conflict. what is behind this political shift?
11:04 pm
well, i think what's, what's really behind the political ship that we're seeing and the rise, the populism in general throughout europe is the fact that people are just pessimistic about the future. and so they're looking for some kind of political movement or some kind of political community to latch onto to you know, help put their grievances into political action. and i think we're seeing it in italy, in, in sweden, both reflect this kind of fear. and perhaps people not being the most politically sophisticated in terms of, of their anger and hostility towards government, but just wanting any kind of change at all. and it happens to be the most organized political groups right now in the west, i would say not only in europe, but also in north america are right wing groups. and so that's what's really
11:05 pm
feeling this push towards the far right. now a sweden, which is traditionally left wing, a socialist government, and often considered the poster child for the scanner, navy and social welfare. they saw the swedish democrats at score a major victory in their election. one of the main topics for the election was a sweden migrant policy. a similar theme actually just occurred and lee, would you say europe has a migrant problem? are they just the scapegoat? would you please say that they're the scapegoat? first of all, in terms of what's happening in sweden, you know, there is this idea, especially amongst a lot of birdie sanders borders in the united states. that sweden as some kind of model of social democracy. right. but people forget that that sweden allied with hitler's germany in world war 2. and there's a lot of white supremacy that still exists today in sweden and all over europe.
11:06 pm
nationalism is very much alive in europe. any kind of pushback that you see for people even against the united states is not a rejection of nationalism or rejection of the american colonial project. but it's really actually just competing nationalism in the sense that people, you know, europe is where colonialism and white supremacy and all these ideas came from. i think it's no surprise and migrants are being skipped good here in europe because that's like i said, you know, these, these beliefs are traditional, they're indigenous to europe. and of course, people are going to go back in, you know, romanticize, some kind of folklore, ised. you know, romanticized past in cling to that and you know, i think these ideas, the scapegoating, foreigners and others as it were. it's just another man. it's
11:07 pm
a manifestation of that fear. ok, so let's say in a few months this russian ukrainian conflict is still going on. meanwhile, europe's economy, well it's struggling gas is going to be a major problem. this winter inflation is running rampant. and at what point do we see more governments actually move for to protect their own national interest? furthermore, i do as ask at what point is a migrant crisis become too much to handle? yeah, i mean, you know, that's the thing is that again, with the migrant crisis, is like there is a lot of refugees all over europe from ukraine, especially here. i'm out in the czech republic, we see ukrainian, refugees everywhere, but nobody's complaining that this is somehow as strain on civil services or on because id in general at all. and so i think that the, you know, the trumping of migrants from places like central asia and the middle east is just pure racism and european white supremacy that we would say that's as
11:08 pm
american as apple pie. but that the european as at home, whatever is extremely european the people that yeah. as far as governments doing more to protect their own self interest. i think that's that's, that's the only choice they really have. i mean, here in the czech republic, september 3rd, we just had 70000 people protests against the check government demanding their resignation, demanding military neutrality, demanding that the government leaves nato and the you altogether. and then initiates direct contact with gas problem and other, you know, russian gas suppliers. and so i think that kind of countries like serbia, like hungary, which have secured these deals the head of winter are probably going to see some net benefits from that in the countries that are most hostile to russia that are sanctioning russia are going to see you know bad things happen. people in these
11:09 pm
countries like to check probably gonna look at countries like hungary and look at countries of serbian say, why can our government and do that? why can we have the same deals? you know that our utility bills blower and help us get through this very difficult winter. and i think that's what's gonna happen. people in these countries, they already are doing that, you know, the people and these countries are going to look at countries that are self or you know, looking out for their own national interests and probably be inspired by them. thank you. now that was put commentator and journalist bradley blankenship after the break, we will continue our discussion on the migrant crisis, impacting the world. ah, today i'm authorizing additional strong sanctions, foreign companies, quitting russia. i'm visiting jordan glacier, ctm kinds of launch and bangs disconnected from the international payment system. the social update donna and euro exchange rates follow up on that sellable up. i
11:10 pm
know for the most carson would know what is what he met, that he vulcans, the pilgrim that is the correct. can you say, i don't know what you're seeing with him in russian business overcome this song? see? yeah, i bought it to the nazi to huddle. she's tremendously just me don't pres, voice, bullshit, national, productive notches, steel, a miracle. what i see, i put themselves when you come, when you with, before you go to the annual of the line for the student out. but she's a cost group when you, when you, when we talk numbness listening to the school. so hopefully we'll get the little bit, you know, the motion with
11:11 pm
november 22nd 2022 outraged orthodox christians confronted ukrainian security service offices looking entrances and exits. the keys, oldest monastery were looking for alleged russian spies among the monks. we mean dealer seeming us are for no reason for the brutal crime down one churches parishioners had sung a song about, ah ah, it's long been reason enough to condemn any older dogs, christian attack, imprison, and even kill them. russia, what i knew russia finance. because when you love store new store of bro slider
11:12 pm
noonish totalsource, you used to stop a samuel sample. i used to miss dog. this seems neat joke. sand ah, welcome back. we're talking today on the 360 of you about the migration crisis impacting the entire globe. we want to continue that conversation right now with professor of history at salem state university, dr. aviva chomsky welcome dr. tom sky. now we have heard a lot about this immigration crisis in europe since at least 2015. would you say that europe is undergoing a migration crisis at the moment? was it ever going through a migration crisis? well, you know, i kind of checked to the word the way the word crisis is used, and i see a strong comparison here between europe in the united states. that is,
11:13 pm
it's not europe or the united states that's undergoing a migration crisis. it's the countries that people are migrating from that are undergoing crises that are forcing people to migrate their under growing under going economic crises. they're undergoing political crises, they're undergoing military crises, they're undergoing climate crises, they're undergoing food security crises. and those are the people who are undergoing crisis and who are being forced to migrate and are then being told. oh, but we don't want you here because that would cause a crisis for us. we don't want to have to face the consequences of our profligate living and colonialism and military involvement and, and exploitation, and oppression of your countries. we want you to stay there and suffer. well, we see more migration into europe as the world struggles to heat and feed itself
11:14 pm
this winter. so you put together to heat and feed itself. and i think that that those struggles are kind of happening in different parts of the world than just the struggle to heat. the energy struggle is being faced right now by the countries that are big over users of energy. that is, the european countries and the united states. they're finding their energy supplies being cut, their fossil fuel supplies being cut, i should say. now these are the countries that should have 30 years ago drastically reduced their use of fossil fuels, or they should never have increased their use of fossil fuels to the level where they were 30 years ago. much less the level where they are today. ah, the countries where people are migrating from are the people who are facing food crises, they're the countries that have never had access to their fair share of the planet's fossil fuels. and the countries that are most affected by the over users over
11:15 pm
use of fossil fuels and the over users, once again, art, europe and the united states. so, um the food crises are caused enlarge part by climate change. climate change is caused by over use of fossil fuels, but the countries facing the food crisis aren't the countries that are over using fossil fuels. now the united states in europe and especially poor people in the united states in europe are, in many cases facing a crisis of high food prices and high fuel prices. are caused by the development trajectories of their own countries. that that's over reliance on fossil fuels and over use of energy. and is a structural problem in these countries. that again, is not necessarily the fault of the poor people who are suffering the ones who are suffering the most from it. but it is
11:16 pm
a structural flaw in the way our societies have been. i have developed over the past 10200 years ago and that we should not have gotten to this point where we would be facing a fuel crisis in 2022 and saying, oh, but now we need to produce more fossil fuels. because obviously we're too reliant on them. what are parts of the globe are now hot spots for migration? we're so much about the southern border in the united states. but what about elsewhere in the world? i look again, i think it depends how you define flashpoints. that is, um, i would say that countries that are responsible for the migration crisis in the sort of long to re, in structural terms, are also the countries that are creating migration crises on their own borders. and they're creating migration crises, by putting up walls,
11:17 pm
by putting up restrictions by milt, rising their borders by creating yet another crisis for the migrants who are fleeing the sort of longer in depths socio environmental economic crises caused by their relationships with those very countries that are now, causing a crisis on the border. so we could say that these are hot spots from migration, but i think we need to be clear about how they become hotspots. not just because of the numbers of migrants they become hotspots. because of the, um, the military solution that the, the fortress countries of the united states in europe have designed to what they see as a migrant crisis, facing them. the european countries in the united states to find themselves as the countries undergoing a crisis of migration. there aren't, they aren't, they're the ones who have created the crisis of migration. and their border
11:18 pm
policies are just one piece of how they're creating and exacerbating the crisis that migrants are suffering. now are the conditions present in your view for increasing migration at, throughout the world as we move a farther head into the 21st century? well, you know, i'm a historian and as a historian, i'm always a little bit reluctant to try to predict the future because one of the things we learned in history is an unexpected things happen all the time. in any given moment in history, it's difficult to predict what all of these sort of unexpected contingencies might be. how ever i'm, i don't see very encouraging signs right now. in terms of the kinds of changes to the global economy, global consumption of fossil fuels and,
11:19 pm
and everything else a global economy, it continues to extract resources from the global south for the benefit of the global north, a global economy that continues to run on fossil fuels, as you pointed out, you know, we're seeing a so called crisis of rising fuel prices because of the fact that our global economy runs on fossil fuels. um and the beneficiaries the i'm, the architects and beneficiaries of this system don't seem to be showing any signs of, ah, wanting to change it. so to the extent, so i mean the trajectory we are on in terms of the climate crisis, even if we were book just completely halt the use of fossil fuels. today, we are already on a trajectory and it's gonna take a while to reverse. ah, where the poorer countries of the world, which we should say are the, you know,
11:20 pm
use the terminology of 3rd world or global south. and i think, no matter what terminology we use, we need to emphasize that these are the parts of the world that have been exploited, extracted, and colonized by the global north. ah, it's not just a geographic question of whether they're in the south or the north. it's, it's a question of the history of relationships that have extracted resources from the global south in order to, for the benefit of the global north. um, but a, so the trajectory of climate change is not going to reverse, even if we were to stop using fossil fuels today. and obviously we're nowhere near stopping using fossil fuels, even in the next decade or couple of decades. we're hearing some kind of lip service to reducing our use of fossil fuels, but it hasn't started to happen yet. and it needed to happen decades ago. um,
11:21 pm
so that trajectory, even if we were able to bring about the dramatic change of halting fossils, these are fossil fuels or dramatically reducing the use of fossil fuels in the next 5 years or 10 years. which doesn't seem probable to me. it's utterly necessary. but the impact of climate change on the poor countries of the world ah, is kind of baked in for a couple more decades, no matter what we do. and, and if we continue on the trajectory trajectory we're currently on, it's only going to get much worse. in terms of the global economy, again, i feel like there is just very little recognition, acknowledgement, attention, acceptance in the powerful countries of the world. that that this economic system that they have designed. and that they control
11:22 pm
in part, through international financial institutions, in part, through their own military policies and interventions and invasions, in part through trade agreements, in part, through the actions of their corporations. ah, is impoverishing and is a 2nd major cause of an in, you know, the 2 obviously are not, are not unrelated. a 2nd major cause of the migration crisis that is the crisis of the global south that is forcing people to migrate. and so we need, in addition to fundamental structural changes in our use of fossil fuels, we need fundamental structural changes to the way the global economy functions. again, these 2 are not unrelated, but i don't see a lot of hopeful signs about our trajectory on either front. what are some of the difficulties migrants face and how can host nations help them adapt to their new
11:23 pm
surroundings or to return to their home nations? so i've been talking about some of the large scale policies that the countries of the global north need to enact and in terms of climate change and the functioning of the global economy. so that's one place where i would begin . i. then there's a 2nd piece of the puzzle is, so what happens to people when they get to the border? that's another place that europe of the united states or the countries of the global north. you know, they all have legal immigration structure and a border enforcement structure that prevents most migrants from entering the country at all. so that's the 2nd place where i think policies need to focus on. you're really talking about the 3rd step,
11:24 pm
like after people have been expelled from their countries after they have gotten through a human rights violations of the militarized border after they are inside these countries, then what kind of policies ah, can be enacted. ah, and in that case, i guess i would say that immigrant rights are human rights and that the idea that countries will differentiate different people within their borders on the basis of status um is morally wrong. and all of the european countries in the united states pay a kind of a lip service to oh, we don't discriminate. we treat everybody equally. it's not immigrants said obviously we're not talking about them when we talk about treating everybody equally and giving every one equal rights and believing that every one should have equal rights. ah, well that's just pure hypocrisy. like, why should only some people have equal rights and other people should not have
11:25 pm
equal rights? how can you even use the term equal rights if they're not for everybody? ah, but i feel like you're asking a somewhat different question to that is how do we address the problem of the mobilization of anti immigrant sentiment? and i would also point out that i deliberately use the term mobilisation. that is, i don't think that anti immigrant sentiment just kind of arises naturally. everywhere that immigrants appear. i think that politicians and media figures have played a huge role in mobilizing anti immigrant sentiment for their own economic and political ends. ok. so i think that, ah, advocating for the rights of immigrants and challenging the narratives that, that blame immigrants for the social problems that they are actually the victims,
11:26 pm
not the perpetrators of is also a really important part of the struggle. thank you, professor aviva chomsky for joining us. now most countries would like to see themselves grow if they would have the ability to sustain the quality of life for the current citizens while bringing in those who would be productive and actually enhance society. i doubt there would be a few complaints if it was the wealthy and highly educated class, which were the ones composing the large migrant caravans. the additional fund being added into the community would actually be welcomed and back. we kind of already do this when a foreign corporation decides to relocate or open a branch the community finds themselves. 1 thrilled with any revenue stream. one way to stop and immigration problem is to make sure your country is less desirable than the one at which the migrants are traveling from. and in the past, speaking of another country could be our dreams and fairy tales. however, the internet has made the reality available for anybody who really wishes to seek
11:27 pm
the truth. and while there are few exceptions, the green grass on the other side is starting to diminish. sadly, in most cases though, seeking another country as their home are usually the victims of bad policies and politics. and whether it be war famine, economic crisis, or security, is the people the lowest of social economic status. who most often feel the wrath, while those who have the power in the land are rarely affected. in such a dramatic way. in many cases, migrants have become a weapon, used to weaken another country stability. a country's economy and security can be destroyed with, without a shot. ever, being fired. migrates are oblivious. they are being used by the politicians and the powerful to in most cases, diminish the new home they seek to the same level as one they wanted to escape. i'm hearing this has been your 360 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching . ah,
11:28 pm
i ah, it's a shift. it's vicky he wore yesterday. the jo i got on steams, i couldn't judge he was morton with won't with 3rd. so the mean, you know, it's from this vehicle 30 splitter, whichever some way more to chill. some we truce, the spiritual i who once you have trouble brazil, kashi, when we do it, we're buying, she's severe. wichmann weekly. it's kind of short. i was with in to near come who said digital literature, just upload plan. you were one of them. i see the tire size, cross science,
11:29 pm
11:30 pm
the largest island in the archipelago is now the location of a very large u. s. military base. you get given med, div our i to the us government to make a military base and just deported all of the chuckles people from their country so they can return back on the island. no, but we are fighting. that's why i'm real fighting for the right. so i, we do not consider that the right to self determination actually applies to the trickle students. i don't the question of self determination. the legal advice we've received is actually the trickle. since we're not and are not a people for me, it's time to move on and see what we can do for the child, the search committee to return back home. there is no support from the united nation. i commission african united nish. i don't care about chug restaurant people .
