2:08 pm
a pleasure to welcome live on to the program broadcaster on legal analyst lionel for his take on. that's lionel. welcome to you. indeed. at present zalinski. how's utilized yet? another opportunity we should say to remind the western public of the conflict in ukraine. this time, the golden globes. he get around from the golden globes. if you ask anybody in this country, what do the golden globes necessarily reflect? they can answer the question. by the way, i have this little prop i use whenever anybody talks about ukraine or russia or the world i handed to them as a, do me a favor point to ukraine, roughly. nothing in particular, just where are we talking about? they have no idea what you're talking about. and in hollywood, hollywood,
2:09 pm
these are the people who years ago, many of them actually signed on. and you've heard about this, and it's not just hollywood per se, but it's a lot of these kind of a, i think innocent people who want to do good there. there was a, a move to ban di hydrogen monoxide, which is water and people signing up for look, i don't understand, please don't ask me. the motivation, don't ask me. who's behind is don't ask me, would all that is going on right now in our world? we just had major, major airline traffic. just stop for reasons we don't know. we went through the worst travel from just traveling. we're not talking anything important. we want to know about what's happening here. and after a $100000000000.00, somebody wants to put a bust of zalinski and we don't know why people can't find it on a map. this is what we called the pet rock with all due respect. and,
2:10 pm
and i mean this, both people don't know what this means. and by the way, keep in mind that while this was going on, recently connelly's arise, ah, robert or william berry to see i had and also bob gates. they have been collectively, issuing a drastic plea to reconsider our position. kind elisa, rice, robert gate and sean penn knows more than they do. sean penn. whenever there's a disaster, whenever something's going on, sean penn is they don't ask al chapo about sean penn, which is another story. there were 2 competing different worlds of reality. here we have folks who were saying enough is enough. what are we doing? where is this money going? who gets what? if you ask americans, what is it?
2:11 pm
what is this about? tell me, what is this conflict about? do you want to be involved in a war? is it a by nato? i'm not trying to be sarcastic here. i know it sounds like that. i know more people who know more of the intergalactic theoretical space agencies in star wars can understand nato. they don't know what this says, but he use the, the hero does your p or somebody that people love because of the, of the, the effect the t shirt, the grit, the determination. and yeah, it's just a cooling coaster who we use. yeah. it's not just a go the globe. he was a glastonbury, a big music festival in the u. k. spoke at wimbledon. he asked to speak at the world cup, but was rejected. it seems it's not a party. it's not a festival. if he's not valid,
2:12 pm
what line or are the chances that the buster lensky will actually be put up in the u. s. congress? well, the good news is for, for sanity, is that the republicans now lead the house of representatives. the senate is, is run by the democrat. so maybe, maybe for the 1st time, there might be some sanity, but i've got news for you. this is the best. in the old days unit, the left in the right were always divided in terms of war and military. the left technically was i don't want to say for peace, everybody's for peace. but if there was a group that would be least likely to be, to be clamoring from military operation, historically was always the left. not anymore. now you have the left in the right, basically clamoring for something. i am telling you, well, let me, let me stop because i think that i live, frankly in
2:13 pm
a parallel universe because everything that i think is absurd is goes through. if i say, oh no, that can't be it's, it's agreed to. i don't want to go through what i have to, to, to discuss, but to give you an idea recently here, the latest talk is whether the federal government wants to remove gas stoves for reasons no one can understand. 3 years ago, i would have said, that's absurd. today we have people now arguing over gender 3 years ago, i would have said, that's absurd today. so when you ask me, is it possible that zalinski is, but yes, it's possible. could a new city be named after him? yes. could disney land change his name to zalinski learn? yes. everything's possible. what's up is downwards down is up. and after
2:14 pm
a while we're, we're so habituated to this, we're lazy, won't make sense the me. oh, it doesn't make sense because i can't think of any other time when the united states wanted to put a bust out of the head of an allied country. i, it's, it's, it's, it's beyond, it's behind anything. but there's gonna be more something tells me my good friend is there was any thinking 2023 was going to be altogether more quiet. final legal i media analyst all was a pleasure. thank you, sir for your take today on rti. thank you, sir. will the crises are rutting in the world today, including the conflicting ukraine are being driven by the western desire for global italy. that's according to russia's ambassador to the u. n. who spoke earlier of a security council debate on what a world based on the rule of law should look like. so was critics of weakest, those, the man made ukrainian crisis fits well into the chain of events which are the
2:15 pm
result of western colonial thinking. and hedge a moni russia special military operation in ukraine. as a consequence, not the root cause of the ukrainian crisis, which is actually at least 9 years old. we the meeting of the security council, the 15 member body that leads the united nations, was convened to discuss the rule of law in the world. now, china, they have their permanency on the un security council are they took their time to point out that the united states, as hijacked these rules and these rhetoric, rhetorical devices about humanitarian protections, to serve their international agenda and to politicize analysis dangerous. we have been meaning to ask, what kind of ruse is the so called rue spaced international order based upon who crazed these rules? what we have seen instead in reality, is how the so called. ruth, based approached her suit by some countries, has plunged the world into immense trouble and tales. the true intention of
2:16 pm
a scant few countries touting a ru space international order is to impose their own standards and will others by putting their own narrow interests at the center of the universe and to open the back door to double centers and exceptionalism. of course the united states and its allies used this un security council meeting that was supposed to be about the vague understanding of enforcing international law rules and long work world. they used it basically to just unload a big tirade against russia and to a huge rush at all kinds of things to, you know, repeat allegations that have been debunked. but then when russian ambassador and a benzyl came up to the podium, he stole the show. he laid out the reality of how the united states and allies are completely hypocritical and the horrendous things they've done year after year in the world in the name of enforcing international law. literally probably
2:17 pm
international law and public order based on its supremacy were grossly violated by the collective west when the 1st needle bombs dropped on yugoslavia. they covered or actions, which were a, been all aggressive war of choice, was a fig leaf of the concept of humanitarian intervention, which has nothing to do with international law. you talked about iraq, a country completely destroyed with lines about weapons of mass destruction and talk of bringing freedom and humanitarian them. he talked about libya and how the united states maneuvered and, and was able to carry out a regime change operation and cast the most prosperous country in the african continent into utter chaos and destruction. how the so called war on terror has strengthened terrorism around the world. by overturning government that represented stability and independent development. and how he argued that the actions of the states that it continues to justify with humanitarian rhetoric are really rooted in
2:18 pm
the colonial past of the western countries and their desire to maintain germany, to keep the world poor so that they could stay on top. a very powerful speech we heard from the russian ambassador to the un security council. certainly not what the western countries wanted the meeting to be focused on. security on the u. s. government has reported inflation having fallen to its lowest level in more than 12 months. washington also say that consumer price index, we keep hearing not only increased by 6.5 percent last month compared to the previous year. well, let's make sense of the figures that know with rti contributor on financial expert chris and hi, chris, good to see you today. what's your take on the official u. s. inflation numbers just made public? well, you know, i think you brought up just the point that you mentioned something called the consumer price index, which is really that say the us official bulletin where it's economy is going to
2:19 pm
keep inflation is going in the us. now there's a really big problem with the c p a is called. is that the commissioner in charge of issuing that, you know, those numbers most typically basically overseas. the cpi is a political appointee. what does that mean? that means that the president of the united states actually appoints that person. now i don't know about you union, but you know the politicians either than that will spoken to. i don't know that they appoint people that would ever give bad news to them. just doesn't make any sense. so it's very, very hard for us actually to believe any of the numbers coming out from the official line from the u. s. as opposed to looking at micro numbers from global institutions that a completely different than what the cpi could forecasting for the us economy. chris, no one would accuse me of being a smart man, but even i can see and listen to us consumers complaining that the price is about their paying now at the grocery stores at the pumps compared to 12 months ago, is way bigger than the single digit inflation number,
2:20 pm
the government is saying it is how does that, how does that circle squared? yeah, that's a really great question. and i think we're seeing this in real terms right now. that's take the united kingdom, obviously, where i come from and you know, the islands same same place with thing just today we're seeing ambulance drivers strike. they are just leaving their jobs because they're so frustrated. we had for the 1st time ever in the united kingdom in northern ireland, we had nurses actually walk out of hospitals. and the reason for this is, you know, these are the most militant of work is right. we've never had these people really go out on strike. and the real reason is, is that telling us that they just can't afford to live on the salaries that they currently being paid anymore. you know that they're even telling us they're having to go to food bytes to pick up food that's donated from other people, just so they can survive off to work. and he's really long ships that off the cobit pandemic, we were told these people were all here. and now we're just throwing them under the bus. so we can see that really those numbers got nothing to do with the actual reality of most people on the ground,
2:21 pm
but doing real hard jobs that really benefit society as a whole. christ haven't control of inflation. is the u. s. government? i mean, they can print endless dollars, they can certainly at those dollars in the economy, but what's the result about? yeah, so obviously the result is that it's just one thing, but really the thing that most things so they can put as many dollars. but really, the thing that you know, really depends on the economy is always government policy, right? it's trade policy. so we're thing in the us right now. we're seeing a very, very weighed policy that they've come up with, which they come up with this inflation reduction act, right, which is basically say, every single company to make things in the us and therefore our economy will grow. but we were seeing the complete opposite of policy adopted by countries like china, china just, just this. we said, look, we're going to rip up the games that we really had on the she mostly, which is to try and get more thing. you know, more trade actually happening from chinese money that we've made also. and we're going to encourage all of our trading partners to actually be invest in all state
2:22 pm
and company because they understand that the way we are this is a global problem. this isn't just a micro problem that come countries can united states on their own have to be thought by the world because, you know, there are a lot of things that are impacting this right now. but, you know, deny really the biggest thing was towed in 1000, which affect every one. it didn't matter whether you are chinese american, british, russian, argentina, and we all went through it and not really the whole world has to come to fix that problem. us governmental regulators can i mentioned those briefly as well. chris, are they effective and controlling the situation because stock market spikes last month suggests they're not very now. i think i totally agree with that point. union . they're really not effective right now, and i think they're not effective just because we, because of really a lack of regulation that they really have to work with right off the 2000 a night. there really wasn't that much done in order to regulate institution. investors hedge funds and really not in a way, you know, i believe, very much in the free market. so not anyway, when you say, hey,
2:23 pm
you can't buy that. you can't buy it, but you have to some crazy things happening like it. if you look at the game stop that happened last year, but we had people buy a penny stock and just made that thing. so we degree, which is really different from, let's say other economies like like china or even the russian stock exchange, right. the company, the all listed at the top of those, those market cap tables, not companies like the tesla, where the cheapest car is $35000.00, right. it's highly of the consumer product that everyone can buy in china right now on the sun. i think the top traded stock is an alcohol company that's produced 90 percent profits for investment, or that's a real business. you might, you know, because, and the 2nd one is a construction company. right? because, you know, no matter what we go through in the global economy, everyone, lots of people, not everyone, but lots of people, including myself like a drink and everyone in the home to live in. so, so really, that's really the issue. you got to create a financial system that really have some common sense to it just doesn't, doesn't just like a casino,
2:24 pm
we just back on night lifting cost. ok and always food for thought when chris ams already contributor is on the program. chris, appreciate that. thank you. just the continuation of the conflict in ukraine will stress supply change for us forces. that's the warning from the countries navy secretary, as fleet commanders are demanding more from the military industrial complex. if the conflict does go on for another 6 months to another year, it certainly continues to stress the supply chain in ways challenging. will that come soon after the white house announced the biggest military aid package to ukraine? so far, bradley infantry fighting vehicles will be sent for the inaugural time. the u. s. just to point out is the biggest arm supplier to ukraine with more than $24000000000.00 worth of aid sent to kiev. since the conflict began in february, similar among to the annual military budget of country such as turkey or israel,
2:25 pm
lauren bells ringing in the offices all the top. ras, with the us admiral lashing art, the lack of deliveries to his units, suggesting he doesn't want to resort to robbing someone to get what his forces need . i'm not forgiven the fact. you're not delivering the ordinance when needs. ok. i'm just not. i don't want to have to bring this to. i grew back so i can rob peter to pay paul. so the next one can go. mike miller, fe former senior security policy ellis in the office of the us, secretary of defense joins us live now. thank you for your time today and michael yacht, could we see if the conflict ukraine continues for another 6 months? possibly more. what are the challenges to supply chains, but the u. s. navy secretary is warning about well, i think the navy secretary made it very clear. we're going to have
2:26 pm
a very serious depletion of stocks of our, of our resources, that right now and, and when you add on the supply chain, difficulties that we're experiencing, apart from just weapons and meeting ukraine's needs, it has a much greater burden. even upon the defense manufacturers, lockheed and, and all of the other weapons manufacturers that rely, let's say on microchips and, and, and other and other rare earth items that, that are embedded in these weapons system. and then they've got to be qualitatively they've got to come from the united states because they're us weapons. and that's also complicated by where the sources to bake the items come from. and it's not united states. so just adding much greater burden. in addition to the facts that
2:27 pm
are right now, our military is supposed to be able to fight a 22 front war. it's not, you can't even fight one right now, given this depletion of its resources and the time that it would take to generate new new production just just to store and let alone resupply and re equip. because the, the fannie is, are having that equipment destroyed like crazy, and the a $1000000000.00 a week goes in about a day over there, and that we can sustain any lead. besides that, the europeans who are also supply and stuff rely upon us for many other goods as well. and they have limited resources. so it's coming from all directions. so the ability for the ukrainians to sustain this war effort is very limited. indeed. and
2:28 pm
i would say that the ability of the united states alone to be able to support continuously supply is also very good. i would say no, no more than 6 months. it's. it's really stark when you say that isn't a 1000000000 in a week. i think if taxpayers, you know, really where to know that level and unread often it, i think it would be really surprising for them. can i just touch upon what the admiral cell you, you might have heard a few moments earlier. the amount of military going to ukraine because of that. how big is the concern among u. s. military chiefs thought it may impact on their, on their own supplies. well, to have the money to help the navy secretary speak up like that were on his own is very significant. normally they're supposed to all be in lockstep. and it comes from the secretary of defense. in this case, it was the secretary of the navy,
2:29 pm
and i'm sure other service secretaries feel the same way they're seeing that that's in addition to what they're also seeing in their recruitment processes. so those are going down. so the, the attention and the, and the potential for not having sufficient supplies in, in readiness. look, we're even deploy grievance to plead in the united states as even depleting. it strategic for stocks of oil. and, you know, and we're, well, we're well below half already. and that strategic supply is meant for war time and we're not, we're, we don't, we even have a half full right now. so this is becoming the policies by this administration or are crippling the united states in many ways in terms of readiness, in terms of the ability to defend ourselves and then going off and,
2:30 pm
and trying to protect of the world. it can't be done, just cannot be done. we, we cannot, we continue to strain our resources which are limited and, and given all the other constraints that we're having to deal with and still be able to provide readiness at home. and that's not. and that that's being question health. we don't even have a, we don't even have a us a southern border now. it, but by definition we really don't have a country anymore. as a consequence, we're out there defending ukraine's borders, but not our own southern border. this is unacceptable to the american people. unacceptable. michael, thank you for your time. your thoughts, as all is on for coming on the program. mike, on the loose former senior security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of the fence. thanks, michael. sure. now doing battle on behalf of the money in our pockets it's christy i next.
