8:02 am
trump took all set smoothly see hundreds of its employees, helping fired its ability to dispense funds has been frozen for 90 days. uh, its website was put offline at which the page went dock and now apparently, mazda wants to bury it us, and he's really taking his, his new job. seriously. the fine is full seems to have been to him when to members of his cost. cotton team tried to gain access with part of the agencies headquarters in d. c. they were actually denied entry of hartley because of lots of security clearance as a result to top officials about she's been put on leave and now we've got all these room is a corruption. even friedman, now let's see uh, swelling. so it's quite the food from grace uh, full usa id, which of course has been long a daunting of the american police gwinnett. well, the one who's talking detail provide to the notice you've been watching on teeth. the last couple of years relates to us a i d 's involvement in,
8:03 am
and i'm going to be very generous here. global health initiatives. did you know the us aid using your tax dollars funded by a weapon research, including cobit 19 that killed millions of people? well, this is significant why it's significant because often till now from the us it has been denied deny to not most famously victorian units denied at the pen to good. then tonight the thing? yes. okay. we do split system lives in ukraine and africa for example. personal for the good of mankind were developing vaccines with ensuring that there's no outbreak of infectious diseases. whereas most was point to something much more fitness stuff . he said, but that research was about creating weapons, overall of mass destruction. this is something that most of it was the morning about 6 years now, and in fact, it's full. but one of the main reasons that one of russia's top generals was assassinated at the end of last year was precisely because he was at the forefront of exposing this us government sponsored abuse of dangerous
8:04 am
passages. which if i'm nice, could re total. how the on the walls. yeah. can you give us some more background here to usa idea. it's an agency agency that really is no stranger to controversy. no, i mean it is a for an age, but he must its functions and over a $150.00 countries that's going to budget of $9050000000000.00. basically it hands out money so it dissolves to release of fighting poverty. but also, and this is where it gets the controversial, it channels funds into civil activism. our claims, of course, is the one about promoting democracy. it's a empowering the people. but the issue is, who incidentally, us a id choose is to empower people in nations. what government policies don't align with american and trust and co, incidentally, why us cash flows very often must protest and sometimes even cruise
8:05 am
take place. now the most obvious example of this, it's, you praise us a id, it had been active. that's the over 2 decades. and it was really culminated in the 2014 my don crew. this was admitted by r s. k junior, the nephew of the very man who actually found to the agency j f. k. us a id which is the front point $5000000000.00 in the funding. those riots, those riots lead to the a to a could a talk against the 1st elect, the democratically elected amended the ukraine a month before that comment is over on victoria new and was, you know, the top part of the center piece of the, in the economy of the ology and who is now a high level official and the state department. as a secret call with the us and passenger, which is tape record and is now public, which anybody can go on. look up where she is picking the new cabinets, the u. k. if you pray,
8:06 am
it really is just the tip of the iceberg. a host of global need to is have accused usa idea of really pushing for that down full. i mean, just to highlight reel batteries and the 2020 mass protest sponsoring position groups incentives way not. it was actually kicks out of bolivia by as president morales off the he on top of they have been funding set protest groups in some of the nations which just regions lots of listing. but let's not forget, it was also in past song and syria, and i'm actually when the agencies burying a torres had some of the powers visited a budapest, hungary, the suppose is your pin nation, which does not tow the line. we know one issues like the l g b t or you prayed to just a rock did thing. oh, kind of resolution incoming. last but not least, we had to, which is american tax payers. money cannot be used to organize a revolution in georgia. do you remember the canvas training when representatives
8:07 am
of the cultural spear were trained to organize a revolution in georgia? us a id, money was used specifically for this. the trump administration stated that american funding, american tax payer money was being used to destabilize the situation in other countries and to create revolutionary scenarios. so i mean, we can see time on again, why usa i t pops up very close behind, very often as in stability in austin violence. becky and close the question, what point this coincidence become a patterson on what point does a pattern become a strategy? yeah. so you mentioned the strategy strategy requires money. what, what are the numbers we're talking about here? let's put it this way. what i'm going, i'm going to put in your head don't. let's put triplet times that by tab. okay, us a id is one of washington's most well funded offices, usaid by the use of $50000000000.00 budget, the entirety of the intelligence community is only $72000000000.00. so it is as
8:08 am
more than the c i a in more than the state department. wow. and it is basically a usaid is effectively a switch player to, to assist the pentagon with, with it on the national security front to assist the state department on the national interest front. or to assist the intelligence community on a, on a sort of clandestine operations. people might accuse me of cynicism, they say the usa idea is just charitable, but we also need to be realistic. the world of great power politics is not one of selflessness. it is a game of the new frame of looking for a weak spot. so investing and then guaranteeing a return on your investment us a id is a norm, as budget is a reflection, supposed to be the greatest reflection of the sun for roll, but it has played in manifesting. some of the white house is great to streams of shape, pick the wild as best suits washington's interest. it isn't on that starts in the
8:09 am
office and spread the word around the world. so you chop post on the power of the open office diminishes. that is why this is such a big story and that is why we hooks and regime change and fuse yes. in dc up and on the kids the main recipient of us a id grand. since the ukraine complex began has been riled by the trump white house . the suspension of for an aide and bottom, or zalinski is demanding even more money. but when asked to buy american journalist where all the cash flow during the biden presidency has gone. ukrainian liter claim t as actually see most of the report and funds. the younger which you i hear and have heard before today we hear from the us on that america gave ukraine hundreds of billions, allow a 177000000000 to be precise. this was the exact figure that was supported or voted on by congress in various organizations, not look as the president of a your in country. i tell you. so we have received more than $75.00. that is,
8:10 am
we never received 100000000000 out of these 177, or even 200 and some people say, this is important. i don't know where all that money is. royce. so where has the money gone? according to reports, ukraine has been riddled with corruption since the might on 2 in 2014, when billions in western financial aid poured into key of another area for alarm is the black market, dependent on by its own admission, has repeatedly failed to track weapons sent to crane with those arms packages, reportedly flooding europe and being illegally traded, and it appears a large portion of the dollars allocated free trade never crosses, american borders reports and citing official us documents say, a major portion goes to us defense industries raising further concerns about misappropriation, when we discussed the complexities with our to contribute our tar read and they've
8:11 am
also, you know, um, arrested a few of ukrainian people who were actually embezzling some of the money that was god. so you just about a $100000000000.00. that's a lot of money now some of the money was actual weapons, so they were given the weapons, even those weapons were gone. and we've done stories about talking about how, where are those weapons they didn't make it to you crank then they to find out they were sold on the black market and some ended up in europe. so you have a nest of corruption right now. and of course you have zelinski at the top of it. now he knows there's a new sheriff in town. donald trump. and so donald trump's going to be asking some questions about where is that $100000000000.00? and that's going to be an interesting when we get those answers. so is it money laundering back to some americans? is it among some of the, um, with zelinski and so on. his, you know, cronies spent a bottomless pit from the start. and i think that, you know, the way it's been handled, the lack of transparency. and then of course you have on the us side,
8:12 am
it's lack of transparency. mean you have the pentagon wanting an audit for the 8th time before donald trump came in. so now you have a freeze on the for an aide. he's a said no more money is going to ukraine, i think is a whiskey is accepted that faith for now. i think he's trying to back pedal are trying to shift the blame because, you know, he has been responsible. obviously there's been a lot of corruption there and he has a few villas to show for it. you're looking at some of the weapons manufacturers that have benefited, i mean, some of their profit showed up. i think it was in 2023. 1 of them showed a profit of like, uh, a trillion dollars since the beginning of all these conflicts. so yes, there is money there, so you're talking about defense contractors. you're talking about n g o is that were funded, you know, that were fueled by the democrats. you're talking about, um, you know, politicians that personally benefit lindsey graham. and many of them sit on the boards of some of these to weapons when you manufacturer. so they personally
8:13 am
benefits. they also make trades and the ones that are public. so you're talking a lot of money that's changing hands. and then also there's been money that's gone over to ukraine, that has disappeared and gone into of pockets and shown up in the form of like lamborghini is with some of these ukrainian oligarchy. you have an illegitimate president and ukraine. there's been no elections held. he's obviously, you know, as a tucker, carlson referred to him a little dictator. and so for him, he just wants to get as much money as he possibly can before he has to disappear. now to south africa where an ongoing disagreement over land reform policy is washington. and for toria, facing off, south africa's president has firmly defended a new expropriation act saying in the lines that the country is constitutional. democracy with you as president donald trump has threatened to cut off funding to the nation of trump has concerns over alleged land confiscation. that echo his past
8:14 am
administrations criticisms and is demanding the south african policies be looked into. south africa is confiscating land and treating certain classes of people very badly. it is a bad situation that the radical left media doesn't want to so much. as mentioned, a massive human rights violation at a minimum is happening for all to see in the united states won't stand for it. we will act all so i will be cutting off all future funding to south africa until a full investigation of the situation has been completed. you said last week and government has responded to these in los and facing funds, accusation, and the response is received in the motion of land confiscation, which swain their explanation as to as a be cannot be equality and justice. a sentiment, which of course has not been said by many in the country or even outside. the government is also extended to an olive bronze for the discussion hitting a raw,
8:15 am
the hinting at a complex diplomatic meet up ahead with the u. s. government minister of international relations and whatnot level not as also responded to cancer months urging him to gain a deeper understanding of the country's policies. was in the framework office into a rather constitutional democracy. she wrote on social media saying that he does trust that prison, donald trump advises will leverage this investigation periods to deepen their understanding of that because policies and really one would hope that president trump would try to understand the facts and the realities of the situation in south africa vases and repeating, disturbing, racially divisive talking points like he is right now. but have listened to that response from present on the south. africa is a constitutional democracy that is deeply rooted in the rule of law,
8:16 am
justice and equality. the south african government has not confiscated any land. the recently adopted expropriation act is not a confiscation instrument, but it constitutionally mandated legal process that ensures public access to land in an equitable and just manner as guided by the constitution. south africa like the united states of america and other countries has always had it. expropriation laws that balance the need for public usage of land and the protection of rights of property owners. we look forward to engaging with the trump administration over our land reform policy and issues of bilateral interest. we are certain that out of those engagements, we will share a better and common understanding over these matters. really unfortunate ad misinformed copies from donald trump because the roots off this 112 se, go way back into so that because colonial cost, when a small white to minority health power, one crucial way the wife government preserved that power was through
8:17 am
a native land act which was a lot of the band black people from acquiring agricultural land beyond issue results. the effects of that and as the laws could still be solved even to this day, office of africa became a majority, black and government, and 1994. it is a topic very due to many people's hearts in the country and because of that one can help. but notice the response from president on my posts at this time being a beat out rather put muted to compared to how would watson 2018 when president trump 1st made such an accurate. com is, is that's having this into how the prison responded becky theaters. so much of that, i don't know what to do with the
8:18 am
to the tone has really changed from that. and in this recent response that i'm a pause that has also clarified, that's american aid is a minor part of the country's financial landscape. we do know that so that africa is a major beneficiary off us funding and the, the emergency plan for a release. and that funding was a really and the street of the donald trump's freeze on foreign aid across the country rather across the world. but other than that, the president's office is the, is no as a significant funding that is provided by the united states in south africa. and i guess the funding part to offer to really provoke a reaction from the leaders in the country as well. we sole minister of mineral and
8:19 am
petroleum resources with them and asked if calling on africa to united gays prison times to say that african nations a robot holes from the most call solution. if it needs be, have a listen to this. lessons learned made out to us. spec is that they don't give us money the minutes. but it is a take all them is, but say, why withdrawing funding? no, we're minute. that's in the continent. and level with something that we have one more tests back us and this all coming less than 2 weeks off to present the posts assigned then you know, making it easier for the state to expropriate, land subject to force, to save compensation paid. it is not a secret to that to the government has struggled to fulfill its promise settings button to be a buyback program. so you comes to live with the program or rather the government
8:20 am
also that for god is pushing a new plan to accelerate the redistribution of land. the plan has of course, important. it's show off critics who, who have condemned it to as a policy rooted in hostility towards why solomon's hey this donald trump says it's a hosp treatment directed at specific communities. meaning why people which is not true. and dr. law the amc really pushing as to try to make it easy for the state to, to take a land in an effort to address racially an equal that ownership patches dating back to a potted and the spice of freedom responses from the leaders in the country. the treat has really made some sort of an impact, the country's privacy open the day, quite high off to those remarks from prison time, which means that it has a several investors already will read a box and perform in the south african. the panama won't be renewing his participation in the chinese belt and wrote initiative. the president of the
8:21 am
central american nation made the announcement following his meeting with the new us secretary of states, marco rubio. i was saying voted on one important thing. a decision that i made and have already communicated to you, the 2017 memorandum of understanding on the belt and road initiative will not be renewed by my government. we're going to study the possibility of whether it can be finished sooner or not. but i think it is due for renewal in one or 2 years. protesters gathered in panama city to raleigh against the us envoys visit local unions, calls and a demonstration in response to donald trump's threat to take back the panama canal . us out of state claims said jane, hold too much power over the waterways, operations. former panamanian presidential candidate marybell gordon says for country man will not kneel before washington. i believe that panama is position has to be a dignified one. we cannot humiliate ourselves. we cannot give in if they increase
8:22 am
our tariffs panama as a sovereign country, as an independent self determined country has to give the same treatment to the united states. what we panamanians are not going to do is neil before any other country. this is a struggle, a struggle that belongs not only to the panamanians, it is the struggle of all latin american people. history is written by the people, not by armies. this is a country that will always speak up for its people, for its self determination. the canal is ours, say the front of my cell. meanwhile, the us president has gone on a trade war spray after imposing sleep tariffs on neighboring canada and mexico as well as china. donald trump has threatened similar moves against long time american allies in europe. you know, we have over $300.00. they don't take our cars and we take every
8:23 am
day, but really i think that one, but the doesn't buy much of anything from the us. trump says, apparently forgetting all of that price. the american liquefied natural gas is killing the european economy. now that it's dependent on it, having cut off its own supply of cheaper russian gas, and trump said right after he took office of the you could avoid terrace by buying even more of it, even though the blocks economic engine, germany's already being powered by it to be soon if 90 percent got supporting device chancellor and the economy minister, robert how back and look any more pressure to buy even more. and it's not really a free market economy anymore. he suggested, hard to believe it's not even 3 years ago that the us and you were basically making
8:24 am
out in public, over their new union to stick it to their use soon to be ex russian president vladimir putin put in his issued rushes energy resources as of course, i mean, at the latest neighbors, i saw his use united states welcome to europe in use pa, for statement. early this month committed to rapidly reduce dependence on russian gas in the world. faced with this order, our trans atlantic, you will need to uphold fundamental values and rules that our citizens believing we aim to reduce this dependency on russian fossil fuels and to get rid of it. so ever since us l. n g has been coming into europe and driving up the cost of living and production for europeans and its industry right across the board. to the point where that inflation has been a major factor in the democratic regime. change of western establishment friendly governments right across the block every single time citizens and voters have
8:25 am
a chance to go to the polls. and even before he took off, his trump has been talking like he wants to see a lot more of that. i told the european union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the united states by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas. otherwise, it is terrorists all the way. yes, since mid december alone, gas prices here in the u has gone up 20 percent with us. ellen g costing 30 to 40 percent more than that. russian pipeline gas in 2024 alone the block accounted for over half of america is total energy exports. and last month, the western press reported that traders diverted 6 us cargoes of allergy from where they are headed in asia over to the u. since europe is apparently now the old lady who will pay top dollar to snap up. absolutely anything that comes into the boutique, so hey, why even bother putting it out on the rack for any other customers to consider?
8:26 am
and the u. s. is expecting to see a 15 percent increase in l n. g sales just this year as a result of their increased output of it over there. and be you seems so interested in that that it's now see currently playing footsie under the table with the text on the down low with russia emerging as the 2nd largest elegy supplier in the 1st half of last year. that's according to think tang data having basically just switched out russian pipeline. yes for record high imports of russian l n g. so this shot gun wedding between the us and your resulting from a shared anti russia ideology has worked out so incredibly well. they even has trump talks like the you is barefoot in the kitchen and required to now cater to is every economic way m. e with visuals are now apparently talking about formally and
8:27 am
making their relationship with russia official. again, dreaming about a resumption of rushing gas imports as part of the you trade complex ultimate resolution. now that's according to the financial times. although it also suggests that pay, that's news to moscow that breakfast has found besides think about and then that way. anyway, if the you think that trump is only rift in are wrapped in about putting another nail in their economic costs, and by adding terrorists to make you exports, to be us even less attractive. just consider that he's done just that to america's 2 neighbors. despite a shared free trade agreements, and he also slot more terrorists on china again because hey, yeah, why not divert things like chinese cars and floods their market instead. tonight, i am announcing canada will be responding to the us trade action with 25 percent terrace, against
8:28 am
a $155000000000.00 worth of american goods. this will include immediate terrace on $3000000000.00 worth of goods as of tuesday, followed by further tariffs on a $125000000000.00 worth of american products in $21.00 days time to allow canadian companies and supply chains to seek to find alternatives. we categorically reject the slander made by the white house against the government of mexico, accusing it of having alliances with criminal organizations. if such an alliance exists anywhere, it is in the armories of the united states that so high powered weapons to these criminal groups. as demonstrated by the us department of justice itself, china will file a lawsuit with the w t o and will take corresponding counter measures to family safe. got its own rights and interest. sounds like just about the only thing missing from these happy trade. marriages at this point are the flying dishes and
8:29 am
shares don't know about you, but i really can't wait for the next step is. so does this particular reality show the real house wise of the trade wars, or take contributor carl john says washington will cannibalize its own allies as it grapples with the fact that the era of us germany is ending in the united states itself. as realize that the, the moment of unit polarity is old martin will be, or himself said, is that now it's part time for multi park here. so united states realize we cannot, we can no longer access the global policeman, imposing us the gemini everywhere. so what you did try to do is trying to shore up its own position, particularly in north america. 5 cannibalizing is allies. those allies will be you, canada, and mexico because these countries, they go with the exception of mexico, mostly canada, and d. u. they cannot say no to the united states,
8:30 am
and trump knows they have no recourse. what could they do for the cause natal for support? united states is natal, denmark who will have no reinforce the united states wants to take over greenland. and this is why increase was such a shock and panic because all the us back to stay was didn't expect that will be treated this way. china is already prepare for sanction. china has largely di, couple phone united states. so this us additional us actually will have less the who are as this lots of huge. this will cost a huge impact on mer, united states largest trading partner, which is mexico and united states and mexico and canada. the washington is quickly losing popularity with its closest neighbors. canadian sports fans are using every opportunity to voice their discontent with donald trump's. new tariffs going so far as to book.
