i with a mm mm ah, benjamin netanyahu say israel is still the best of friends with them or a gap. this binds a number of as really official, suggesting washington involvement in the nation wide protests that have swept the country over the proposed judicial reform. also had on the program, big meeting in moscow today around on russia, talk us sanctions. you've been in conflict on a comprehensive, strategic partnership between the 2 nations. we'll break old on the prime minister of poland, takes aim out the european union for failing to deliver on the key points of the western back. ukrainian, green tailed,

resulting in european farmers struggling to survive us over a supply forces local pricing to time with from moscow to the world. this is our t good to have your company today. my name's you know me israel was prime minister . how slow and what he calls that concrete, closest friends, stating israel will defined it's path independently. it comes on the heels of u. s. criticism. now benjamin netanyahu judicial reforms which sparked nationwide protest. israel is the sovereign country, which makes is decisions by the will of its people and not based on precious from abroad, including from the best of friends. these really prime minister was talking about the us israel's closest friend and ally and it's very active interference. and

israel's internal affairs, but choking often tend yahoo expressed his concerns about external pressure and interference into israel's internal affairs from abroad. he came out and said that these railey us friendship is unshakable, even though the 2 countries might have certain disagreements. and they certainly do for months in yahoo's blog has been very actively pushing for a controversial judicial reform that saw huge public disapproval, including in the military ranks. on tuesday, americans, president biden criticized the path israel chose to follow what also remains to be seen is when newton yahoo will be invited to washington in the same speed to bind and made it clear that for now these really prime minister, whose government came to power 3 months ago and he already traveled to a number of european countries with official visits, is not welcomed in the white house, like many strong support. mm. i'm very concerned. i cannot continue on

with hopeful, hopefully one through with yes indeed, this trade a very harsh words between best friends, israel and the u. s. comes and maids claims from inside israel, from some israeli officials that washington may be involved, maybe behind or even sponsoring massive anti government protests that have been shaking the country for 13 weeks in a row. on saturday evening, netanyahu's son shared an article on his social media about the report that reveals with the state department allocates a lot of money for the reservation and supporting demonstrators here in israel. some israeli officials started asking legitimate questions. this protest is financed and organized with millions of dollars. we're following what is happening

. this is a very high level organization. there is an organized center from which all the demonstrators branch out in an orderly manner who finances, the transportation, the flags, the stages. it's clear to us that you asked has been denying all accusations or any involvement in the protest movement. any notion that we are popping up or supporting these protests, or the initiators of them is completely and demonstrably false. so his honeymoon over for israel and the u. s athens and yahoo's most recent statements, it seems they are good for now, but certainly they're awesome clouds in the clear skies of this friendship, and as biden said, it remains to be seen yet. so a lot of developments over the past few days to delve into them further. i'm happy to say we can cross live to jerusalem on to amir vitamin, who has been libertarian caucus of the la could party you are indeed most welcome. some is really officials have claimed the protests against judicial reforms are

essentially sponsored by washington. it's a big statement. is that your sense of what's been happening or at least that a big part of it? well, to be completely frank, i don't know. i'm trying to be careful with what i say are, but there are a few. are you know, a few facts? ah, i think 1st of all there's a lot of reality, real grassroots, this is content and under lashed, that cannot be denied. and on the other side, i think you cannot deny that this incredible amount of money which has been poured into these are demonstrations. now we're talking about tens upon tens of millions of dollars at least ah, which have come from different sources. so i don't know what are the, what is, what are the sources of, of this money, whether somebody comes home from the american government. of course, i don't know,

but senator tom cruise to day, i himself said, said that the stick that this is the case. so again, i don't know, but would it be the 1st time? no, it would not be the 1st time. let me remind you that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu wrote in his book, which he released just a few months ago, that in the 19 ninety's already, when he ran for the 1st time for her to be prime minister in 1996 against schuman best. oh, yeah, there was a lot of american involvement on the side. the face of the left and the prime of the president at the time was a bill clinton, who afterwards, after the election, actually called prime minister at the now at a time to say, you know, congratulation, you beat us and he was, he was gentleman, he was open about it, so you know, these things happen. i don't know whether it's, again, i don't know whether it's true or whether it is not true,

but it's certainly possible. yeah, of course and not, not to lessen the dissatisfaction of what we're seeing on the screen a moments ago. people are in the street, obviously. not happy with the reforms being pushed through, but in any, hey, sir, president biden still has not been an invite to our i still has not invited benjamin netanyahu to the white ice. this appears to be a running issue, how closely aligned. therefore it is washington to the current, it's really administration. well, you know, there is not that big secret that her prime minister, nathan, yeah. which is on the rights and that the president by them is on the left. ah, and we understand, we know what's happening in santa, in internal us politics. we know that the democratic party has been drifting to the last and there is a lot of internal pressure within the democratic party. and so to actually a pressure is relevant to be against israel and i think what we're seeing over the

day, what we've been seeing recently is also a part of this pressure. because you can't deny that there has been unfortunately, eva, but to has been addressed away from israel on the parts of the right, the phone and, and for say less and less radical left in the us. and, and, but that's really has, unfortunately little to do with israel and a lot to do is a, it's are not internal us issues, internal us politics and, and, and the radicalization that the left wing, the u. s. is undergoing. this is a unit process which has her river river repercussions on many, many different issues. one of them being ha, is running the juice. okay. on the sense, the overall sense of what's occurring, it's been a powder keg situation. how isn't it the protest these really prime minister suspended the judicial reforms at for no, it's not going through it is your sense of the protest will, en,

not because of that or will ad netanyahu's administration attempt to do this at a later stage. props, what with greater support? well, you know, i'm a staunch supporter of the reforms, but i think you unfortunately cannot, ah dismiss the fact that we can't deny the fact that we have which these reforms are unfortunately very in the wrong that we've made every mistake. every mistake possible, we have done that, ah, in an extremely unsuccessful way, we have managed because of that to get half of the country on its feet. these are not the way in a free and democratic society at to make changes happen. you don't run these changes through ah, through said through, through parliament like that there's too much opposition. so yes, i think eventually, hopefully some reform will be made because it's long overdue. ah,

but we need to do that intelligently. we need to get support from more, ah, you know, for more people certainly from the majority of these really society uses. and we need, especially to have a, i would say professional, an, you know, way, economies, and, and people from the judicial system will come on. our son was otherwise his he really well, thanks so much for giving us some of your time and breaking that down 1st. we appreciate your time tam, your vitamin head of the libertarian caucus in the la could party in issue. thank you. ah, now another story where a cross today or runs foreign minister as hell talks with his russian counterpart in moscow by plans for a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty between the 2 countries and further regional cooperation. sir, gala froth stress that washington must lift it sanctions on iraq. mute population

in the world is still waiting for the us to resume its obligations in the iranian new killer deal and lift our sanctions imposed on iran. one of the songs thug. i'd love was very critical of the sanctions that have been imposed on around by the united states. of course, they were imposed after the collapse of the joint comprehensive agreement. this was the ran nuclear deal and that the bar, the trump administration arbitrarily pulled out of now he's and said that the sanctions muster be brought to an end. now talks have be continuing air in vienna, not face to face, have been done through a mediator, but progress has been uprising need the 2 men spoke about the situation in ukraine lab. rob said that the west can end the conflict to any minute, but it decides to flood cave with arms. instead, he said the last week he said that the u. s. tech. tuesday, antony blinking spoke against a ceasefire, saying that it would be in russia's a benefit, but also the day

a raining foreign minister as well. call for dialogue through notice you talk soon discussing the situation in ukraine. we highlighted nato's undermining line of behavior that are with both feet, standing in the ukrainian conflict in are being sucked deeper and deeper into it. honestly, i don't know if i can go any deeper. arabic bethel are the fact that the west to supply ukraine with weapons, in our opinion, only worse as the situation in ukraine. we need to solve it by diplomatic in but so guy leverage said that they thought nothing based on what he describers, indivisible security that no country can then strengthen its security at the expense of another. of course, he was most likely referring to nato's continuing expansion eastward despite promising not one more inch. but he said that this was enshrined in the un charter any shrine didn't international law. it is, it is fascinating though the, that the moving and shaking. we're seeing these days, steve, on the geopolitical chess board in his iran visiting moscow, right. as the foreign ministers of iran,

all these other countries are on the that working overtime because sokulaf off is working double over time these days. i mean, iran is poised to join the seo the shanghai cooperation organisation. iran is poised to join bricks, brazil, russia, india, china, south africa. i've heard there are 22 other countries who will want to join britain . you can call them the d dollarization coalition, steve, because these are countries with china's contemporary silk road. we're all going to be doing international trade in national cards. this is hugely important. and the foreign minister, if they said that 49 documents that were required to join the shanghai cooperation organization have now been ratified by the iranian parliament. they've also spoken about, as you said, joining the bricks and bricks alliance, $22.00 countries. and we just heard as well, the and saudi arabia is now looking to join the shanghai cooperation organization that has not been agreed. i must say, was the sort jumping, but it was china that brought saudi arabia and iran together recently bought in it, of course. and, and the reigning foreign minister mentioned this, he in fact her,

thank china for their efforts in mediating this army, a hugely significant piece deal, which not only brings em saudi arabian ran together, but it's also warmed relations between saudi arabia and syria. so these are the, the u. s. is main strategic ally in the region. reality is now looking to opening embassies again in both of those countries. syria, of course being welcome back into the, to the arab lee. and of course, next week, as the uranium foreign minister said, there's these quadra lateral talks between russia and around, but looking to bring syria and turkey close together. so this normalization of relations between those 2, again, hugely important for the, the 12 year conflict in sylvia. they've both been on opposing sides of our president, asked out of course again, also recently in russia. so russia played a very important role in a get this a hugely expansive project, which we'll see a countries trading in who currency. so this shift away from the dollar massively

important because if the u. s. loses the dollar was the world currency, it loses its ability to dominate well financial markets. my colleagues, morisha and steve sweeney, they're not the prime minister of poland and his romanian counterparts up taken the swipe of the e u for failing to deliver on the key points of the western bach, ukrainian grain dale, an oversupply really has seen prices in europe. tank undock, particularly as had local farmers hard here to take all not of our to contribute a rachel marston, well polish prime minister mateus mar. wiki is usually busy, browbeating germany, france and the u. s. and the rest of the west for not doing enough for ukraine. now poland is always leading the charge and demanding higher powered weapons for ukraine, and is quick to rummage through its closet for fighter jets and tanks when it can easily replace them with all that defense assistant cache from washington. and it

just reportedly billed the, you 2000000000 euros for sending hand me down. weapons that it had to ukraine. yeah . why sell for h a. m, when you can get rid of it from your closet and replace it with chanel? right. you know, of course not walking around naked from ukraine when others are footing the bill. but when it comes to sacrificing its own economic competitiveness to ukraine, well, in that case, not so generous. and the same goes for its neighbor romania, judging by statements made by the countries prime ministers and a joint press conference. have ellison here to we speak with one voice. this grain, as promised by the european commission, was supposed to go to africa in the middle east. meanwhile, procedural imperfections and tardiness in certain areas led to the fact that some of the screen and other agricultural produce has remained in the eastern part of europe, thereby driving down prices for farmers. together we are engaged in a process to discuss with the european commission, where the mechanism should be to enforce the trust ability. if you credit exports

to final destinations. so now they want brussels to trace the grain because it's impacting their countries, any interest in tracing all the weapons that poland is dumping into gra no, it was just last november that european commission, president ursula vander line, announced the grain from ukraine initiative alongside zalinski. and another 1000000000 euros to funds so called solidarity lanes for the grain and quote, coming together to avert hunger around the world. but apparently, a 1000000000 bucks can't buy competence since the grain is swerving out of the solidarity lanes and crash landing right on polish and romanian farmers as they're pretty quick to say themselves. it effect prices in local regional markets have dropped, causing a significant impact on farmers income. the commission is not reacting swiftly enough. ah, members had already flagged the concerns about market disruptions last year. if poland and romania don't watch, oh, they'll be accused of peddling fake news,

which is exactly how the west as routinely qualified. any suggestion that the ukrainian grain programs like grain from ukraine and the black sea grain initiative are not actually feeding the world's poor. now, turkish president reject air to wine pointed out earlier this year that 44 percent of ukrainian grain is actually going to europe and just 14 percent african countries. now if you crane just needs to make a buck, then why not just say so. instead, the went out of their way to sell it as a world hunger program to get the ball rolling, only than to use it to stock up its own pantry at the expense of its local producers. good thing, the u has more cash to toss at this new problem that it created. 56.3000000 euros to be exact, for bulgarian polish and romanian farmers impacted by its latest act, self owning. and how did brussels frame that hand out? by believing russia, of course, and claiming that quote,

the trade disruptions incurred by the russian aggression should not take place at the expense of farm hers from neighboring countries. now, moscow is clearly no match for the etiology question from a local journalist, who asked him point blank proxy war against russia. i mr. judo, mr. richard. oh, why do you keep wrapping up the proxy war? why do you keep wrapping up the proxy war with russia, mr. to go? mr. trevino? you said you said more than $2000000000.00 in web services. why did they don't roxy war by now? and the data you have you are. yeah, no answer really forthcoming was that? well, earlier we spoke to the canadian journalists who pose that question who sees the country has substantially contributed to key ebs reference live was the mojo paper. did a calculation tabulated that canada had sent $2260000000.00, canadian dollars in weapons already. and actually since then there's been

a number of announcements. so i trust the newspaper more than i trust the government itself. so i think it's probably almost certainly over $2000000.00 and, and maybe more, but that's only a small part of it. i'm in canada's providing intelligence, ukrainian military. you have canadian special forces on the ground. you have a former many former kn soldiers that have been killed and that are fighting the canadian government has, has greatly contributed to the, to the proxy war as well as helping provoke the conflict. no more than a year ago. in politicians. you know, it's remarkable. i mean, somebody, even if somebody who's a strong supporter, what can be doing in ukraine should at least want a debate about it, but the media, the mainstream journalists, they don't even ask the questions. there's not really any, any debate. it's just assumed that what canada is doing is good and the question is,

should we do even more, whether we should have, you know, opposed to us moves to put more and more nuclear weapons in eastern europe. and it's just to sort of assume that, you know, rush is all bad and our side is all good. and we didn't need to keep, you know, kennedy, foreign minister didn't need to go to keith in, in january, didn't need to go there and push for nato expansion. that was absolutely unnecessary. did you know and other things we did to sort of stop the conflict? if you don't know any of that, then you think the can is just, you know, putting money into a good cause. if you look at can in foreign policy and i looked at the foreign policy all around the world, canada is very closely aligned with washington. the canadian arms industry is completely integrated with the u. s. army industry, arms companies always like a more wars and more possibilities to liver weapons is good to the arms companies, canada founding the u. s. britain and canada found in nato for formally founding $949.00. so canada has long been a very staunch pro neo force. and so canada,

taking a very belligerent position and there's very little cost, unlike germany or some of the central european countries, there's almost no cost for canada, right? of energy prices haven't gone up and the, the spin spillover cost is much, much less than in some of the other nato needle countries. ok, another story to tell you by today, us law makers have voted done on amendment aimed at setting up a special u. s. watch dog to scrutinize that $100000000000.00. washington a sent to ukraine. the senator who initiated the vote said the american public needs to know where their money is going. this body has spent to date $113000000000.00 on the war and ukraine and county. and yet we do not have any direct oversight of any of the money that is being spent. listen,

we learned this the hard way. and if dana fan, well, the votes come that made numerous concerns being raised over the flow of western military aid to give us mainstream media outlets of reported that only 30 percent of american weapons. i've made it to the front lines. although wall c, b s. news later, pull back on by the code. while the european union border control agency phase, it has detected increased flows of weapons to block markets, alleged that middle east terrorist groups have smuggled western arms from ukraine on top of that, just to out the u. s. inspector general on afghanistan has warned that america is repeating its mistakes. you're bound to get corrupt elements of not only the ukrainian or the host government, but also if u. s. government contract is or other 3rd party contract is to try to steal the money. is just so much money going in and it's hard to keep track of a not super optimistic that we're going to learn

a lesson. i've been in washington since 1982 and learning lessons is not in our dna in the united states. unfortunately. yeah, and it is pretty eye opening stuff. some estimates say um you will spending on ukraine in 2020 to surpass the value of washington's entire so called war inter enough chemist them. and the cost to american taxpayers is now more than half of what washington was spending each year during the vietnam war. there's still no official indication of the limits to the u. s. commitment to give me all was a pleasure to welcome live onto the program. retired us or force lieutenant colonel car in car, tusky caring. good to see you. yeah, this amendment called for greater oversight of the, the 10s of billions being sent ukraine. are you surprised that was the fitted? know, because i know how the u. s. senate gets reelected. and they get re elected through

their relationships and the donors that they have in this country. and how many of those are from the defense sector. and so, you know, it's not in their interest to reduce spending. it's not in their interest to ask hard questions that may lead to the reduction in that spent. that's exactly what would happen if we actually looked at this a pretty sizable amount. 22 republican senators voted against establishing that watchdog. no many g o p. lawmakers are or even advocating for an increase in u. s. military aid. some or not though, on it comes as the, the most likely republican candidates in the next presidential election from the some says donald trump are skeptical about american involvement in ukraine. what's your ticket? how that plays out within the party as well? well, i mean, the santas has a lot of trump supporters. trump has his own set of supporters and of course was

pretty wildly popular in this country. for some time. they are in touch both of those men and some others are in touch with the actual feelings and instincts of the american people, the populism in this country. and that is something that, that is not in line with washington dc right now, and it's not in line with throwing money away anywhere, but particularly in a war that they do not understand. and really don't care about. is this going to be a big election campaigning from? do you think in the coming your i think it might be, but there is by bipartisan support to continue to spend, as we saw with the senate, the senate vote just recently. i think we'll hear more talk about it as they, as the various candidates try to lay the waste in the fraud and the destruction on the other side. it is to ukraine car in a new vietnam. is it a new,

dumbest stuff? like? because the, the reasoning for involvement, it does so an eerily familiar to secure a protect democracy that's, that's what we keep hearing repeatedly. yeah, we do hear that and it does. we know from viet nam and from afghanistan and many other places that we don't care about democracy. in fact, the only kind of democracy, the united states really likes is the kind that is allied with its current political interests. we know this. so in that regard it's, it's similar, but i think, i think even though congress doesn't seem to have learned its lessons on afghanistan, i think the american people kind of have, and i do see more popular push back against what the congress is doing for the americans are tired of this very tired of them, they don't see it is productive, they don't understand what it's about, and they don't even know the full history. and as some of that truth comes out on how long that this government, united states government has stoked this war, has tried to really sacrifice ukraine at this altar as they find these things out.

and they are beginning to they become angry. and so i don't the support in this country is not there for increasing this. the only support i see is support to end the war this year. many thanks for coming in the program. ensuring your views current petoskey retired, us or force lieutenant colonel ah, there are no you asked armed forces in syria. bounce the direct quote from the spokesman for the united nations secretary general arts a u. n. press briefing when press by a c, g t and report her on the american military occupational survey, the spokesperson appeared to dancer on the issue before denying the fact at this dance with that, what's the difference between 82 and syria has no attrition, sir. and the situation, you're king, there's no us armed forces inside of syria. and so i'd, as i don't have a,

it's, it's not a very low issue. and others note there's no u. s. u. s. military personnel, i, i believe is military activity. yeah. but, but of a budget in terms of ground presence in syria, i'm not aware of that. okay. 5 us service members were injured in that attack. if there's no, there were no us soldier service members in syria. how could they got injured at? that's weird, right. well, in 2014 nato allies led by the u. s. stage to an incursion, claiming there were fighting terrorists, but in fact, used an army of mercenaries in an operation where washington openly called for regime change to aust president bashar alyssa. while the mission creep started with her as.
