a crop with the gang of criminals, apparently spread thing on tax pass. honda and cash samantha powers a she had a worthy goal, although it was a stupid goal. she said she was hoping to get the amount of for an aid us $8.00 that and go to actual aid up to $0.30 on the dollar from $0.10 on the dollar. that's a major problem that we have this agency that that's all that goes abroad. i think your time american workers dollar. i think now you're talking about the, the usa. i d at the a just, yes you had, right. all of us a i days always to $15000000000.00 annual budget. it's estimated only 10 to 30 percent of it actually goes on aid. so what about the rest? well, has a hint, washington beloved agency employees, a lot of regime change in foods. yes. so buckle up for a press schools and old things who's starting close to home in america's back yard . if you happen to be in cuba, in the mid to thousands, for example,
11:06 am
maybe you attempted to sign up to the local flash and of puts up spots, surprise, surprise, as soon as i knew it wasn't no cool. it was a usa, i d, lead co, federal peroration, the goal to dangle political messages in front of the cuban. you've got some wild up, get them onto the streets on top of castro puts, let's make it seem grow through send cannick. that will be absolutely no mention of united states government involvement. this is absolutely crucial for the long term success of the service and to ensure the success of the mission, which is strange because that website pulls that on for lots about transparency and carlo they were running another project on the car, been island. this one off line documents and interviews make clear that the program was aimed at recruiting a younger generation of opponents to cubans. castro government documents prepared
11:07 am
for the us a id sponsored program called the h. i the workshop, the perfect excuse to conduct political activity. yes, usa, i do fake the offering health services to slip around and scouts out some potential spies, fingers crossed and store them out on the inside just like they installed quite, quite low over in practice, you know that the man who was briefly considered venezuela's president by everyone about the venezuelans themselves, a $120000000.00, well spent. in addition, usa id has committed $128000000.00 to support venezuelan human rights defenders. civil society organizations, independent media and elect oral oversight. when the material regime is gone, the funding will support the recovery efforts led by a democratically elected venezuelan administration. well, last few 1000000. on a few months of spontaneous protests,
11:08 am
maita nicholas madura was still. busy in office, so the d. c leads to that a day, the grants. but the person that you recognize as the leader of democratic leader in minnesota is not here. what do you think about themselves or juan will here? by whom long way though the, the answering president of venezuela that you recognize what a bit farther south usa, our day, was also called red handed supporting set protests. invalid is eastern region. i'm sure it's a coincidence. but santa cruz is very, very results rich. all the highlights and sold georgia better us because it's don syria, the solomon islands, and the recipients of generous usa i. d. gifts and then walks by violence and ins. dependency with governments laughed too badly, clinging on to power. but hey,
11:09 am
maybe that's just a coincidence. then that was you crate usa id, which is the front point $5000000000.00 in the funding. those riots those riots lead to the uh to it could a talk against the 1st elect, democratically electric. i'm of the ukraine a most before that comment is over on victoria new and was, you know, the part of the center piece of the economy audiology and who is now a high level official and the state department has a secret call with the us and passenger which is tape recording and is now public, which anybody can go and look up where she is picking the new cabinets the you okay . the good news here though is the agency is reading it to accounts every single time. the other one is my efforts. and this began years ago
11:10 am
when we were trying to figure out what they were doing with our american taxpayer dollars, there were going to support humanitarian efforts and, and ukraine. so i wanted to know exactly how those dollars were being spent. and i know there's a reasonable request. yes. oh my gosh, and i share this with you earlier alon um, just privately, but we got all kinds of threats from usa id because i was trying to exercise my oversight capacity in congress. um, so this, this is shocking. i mean, is it, oh how, i mean, obviously it is outrages that a tax payer funded organization which threaten us senator, who's simply trying to figure out if the merits and tax per money is being spent correctly. and unfortunately, yes, but for renting on rest and toppling need is,
11:11 am
isn't usa, i days only bread and water problems reset. phrasal forwarding for 90 days has left 90 percent of ukrainian media risk upcoming dog. because yes, the agency is big on sponsoring independent journalism. and the child, it's proud to solve the o. c. c, op a. not unless investigative organizations finding 6 continents with a team, but just one of the whole power in check. except interestingly, you don't get many dives into us corruption because that wouldn't be cutting off the hand that feeds that and how that sometimes gives it a spin pull to that end up bringing about real change. you know, i think as donors have realized, this is really important. this is having impact. we've probably been responsible
11:12 am
for about 5 or 6 countries changing over from one government to another government . so, you know, because and getting, you know, of, and people, you know, prime ministers indicted or thrown out. that's the most important investigative reporting organization you've never heard of. so as las hand tightens that square from the fragments of the sofa pointed, going to in a freedom and justice how i want it, that every now democracy can finally freeze free. the u. k is right wing reform party has taken the lead and opinion polls for the 1st time in the country's history. it is a striking display of public discontent with current prime minister, cure stormers policies, just 7 months into his tenure at downing street. if elections were to be held tomorrow and as well for us as you can, reform party would snatch 25 percent of the votes a point higher than the ruling labor party. 21 percent of the vote would go to the
11:13 am
conservatives, the reform party as best known for its aspirations to fully curb illegal migration and offer small businesses, significant tax cuts. well, this comes as right landing parties gain steam across europe in germany, austria, france, and the netherlands populous to politicians are coming out on top. the southern shift and voting trends can be explained by growing it, concerns over immigration, the stagnant economies, and high living costs. all right, let's cross a live now to you. k heritage party. later david occurred to david, good to have you on the program with us. um, i'd like to hear your reaction to this pull that shows that you take reform party overtaking both labor and the conservatives. does this come as a surprise to you? and it doesn't really come as a surprise to and what's happened is the, i think people in the u. k. all completely fed up with the established policies. and what happens in the last general election, which is only 7 months ago,
11:14 am
was people abandoned the conservative party, which of being in power for 14 years. and people were so disgusted with them because they're not conservative. a tool, they do exactly the opposite of what they said they were going to do. they let immigration get out of control, they've increased taxes, they've allowed all kinds of work re trends and there is of an oldest kind of stuff defective in the country. so some people then when to vote for labor, when to vote for alternatives, but i've never seen in my memory. other thing, any one has been living memory, seen a policy becomes so popular, so soon off to an election where they want to land slides, but they didn't win a line slide because they would not have to. they didn't actually get any more votes than they did in the previous general election in 2019. they won almost by default because people with that off of the conservative policy. but now people are really, really fed off with the labor policy. and you know,
11:15 am
it's interesting because in england, in, in everyday life, people don't normally talk about politics, you know, in the pop on the train, in supermarkets here, they talk about the weather. they talk about the neighbor's dog and things like this. but people are talking about politics is the time that talking about what this government is doing and how much it is destroying the fabric of society, from schools to farms, to businesses, to workers, to young people, just with families who really call and get on. so they're looking for an alternative, and it doesn't surprise me at the that at the moment that energy is going to reform, obviously on the nature of a different, the different policy that people are looking for common sense to be restored to our country and nothing that's why you're seeing the movement in the poles at the moment. yeah, yeah. according to the polls, only 60 percent of those who voted labor in july would do so again. so that's just 6 months ago. i mean, why, why is that such
11:16 am
a big drop in popularity is that people were looking for a change and they didn't get that change? well, they've got to change, but it's not the change that they were told they going to get. and that's why people are so very, very quickly got side off of the light of the policy because they not doing what they said they were going to do before they got into power. so the reform party david is leading in the polls today. but just by one point, do you see them holding onto their front runner position until it's time for the next election, which is when, by the way as well. the next election could be another 4 and a half years away. so we might have a long time to wait and you know, i'm a little bit skeptical about polls because, you know, you want to sometimes whether they are an accurate reflection of reality or whether they are a political tool used to manipulate people to suggest. well, this policy is good, the next part of it is kind of wins that go and give you a simple so that part is actually owned by someone that they used to be a minister in the conservative body. so, you know, we've had this before. yeah,
11:17 am
we've seen this before, but particularly in 2016, you know, i think people will remember in the us it actions all the polls said hillary clinton is going to win. but trump one by landslide. and when we have the brakes invited to come out of the, the polls beforehand would say all people are going to vote to stay in the you, but the country voted to go out of the. so i didn't know it's a long way to the elections, and i think you know, the story of the last 6 months in the polls as being the reform a gradually going up gradually nipping at the heels of the conservative party and the name of a policy and now they've just started taking them a little bit. i want, i wonder if this is some kind of manipulation going on. um, but you know, there, there is a genuine moving away from the conservative labor policy because people are looking for an alternative. but it's a long, long times of the next general election, unless something happens to that might say earlier, and i hope it does, but it could be 4 years away. so what the polls say now is not necessarily what's
11:18 am
gonna happen in 4 years time. and certainly understandable of it, so it's not just of the u. k. um, what do you think of the mode at motivating the increased support for right wing and populace parties? we're seeing that in germany, france and austria for example. do you think that this is just a passing trend or do you think this is that something that we can expect to see across the entire west? the only thing was happening over the last 20 or so years is that the left wing ideologues have taken control of both sent to left. i'm sense of right paul to say there's no difference you presented with 2 parties that is supposed to be opposite to the, to each other. put them all pushing the work agenda, the political correct agenda, the l g b t agend. net 0, which actually is decimating a good reliable energy supplies and sources and in germany has as much of a problem as the u. k. in that they have winding down their carbon based energy infrastructure and trying to replace it with wind and solar. and it's not working,
11:19 am
an energy prices are going up as well as mass immigration, which is another huge issue for the countries in western europe. and that the indigenous populations don't like it. i don't want it. i haven't been asked about it, but it's been imposed on them on the left wing policies. i've said, well, if you don't want this, if you complain about this, then your racist and people have just got fed off of the policies of both send to less than to write policies which all the same and being told that if you don't like them, then your homophobic or trying to study big old races, or pick it saves and all the other lexicon it's be, is the base of it. people and people have just had enough of it. and we just want to restore sanity. you may want government to just leave us alone. basically let us have the energy that we need to run all businesses to heat our homes and the freedoms to say what we want and get on and be with who we want to assemble with who we want. say what we want and trade with whom we want you to the governments
11:20 am
all over europe doesn't do that at the moment. and that's why people just want to change. people wants to restore freedom and sign it to you. i think that's all it's about because of the point where that's being lost. yeah. so that leads me to eli moscow because we love talking about him in, in the media. and i think he's been called all those names that you listed off just a moment ago. um he recently voice public support for right wing parties in europe and he's face a lot of backlash for it. what, what, what are your thoughts on that? i think you've started testing what he's been saying and how he's being contributing to the debate and he's just coming from the point of view of restoring sanity again. i mean, he's due to the right waiting, if you like. i mean, the supported the democrats for the last 5 elections, i think now he's supported president trump. you know, along with some of the people that used to be democrats like a r s k junior and chelsea. gov all. but what he's saying is essentially, you know,
11:21 am
it's rolling to mutilate children, so the transgender ideology is wrong to, to an, a blind item increasing migrant crime. and, you know, we have a big problem in the u. k. with grooming dunn's which, you know, you've reported on it on all the many, many times and, and, and this has been swept under the carpet on the basis of, you know, what you could call in the moxie started the, all it to you saying the, you call you call point the finger these people because they migrants and doing so, these races, the needle must you say, just protect the children. you know, what has happened to your countries where you are not protecting your own children from being attacked and being the victims of crime in your own country in assuming what he's saying is very, very sensible. but of course, he is disrupting and interrupting the people who have had power up to now and who would be an imposing this? the a box has started the all the g called to lots has started the already what worked very well. i think you liked pulling it on and they are losing
11:22 am
a threat because people have had enough. and now they're moving to support political policies and both the policies that are getting type you'd move these people who have been very, very disruptive over the last 1020 years out of power a. yeah. you know and keeping was most, he did indeed a support from him and he was as use as you rightly said, initially a democrat and then moved away from the democratic party as so many people did because of the extreme ideology. so he's now the new head of trump's government efficiency department and turned his attention to us. a id, branding it a criminal organization. i don't know if it's something that people in the u. k. are really familiar with, but i'd like to hear your thoughts on, on these claims by must and any kind of interaction or experience you may have with us say id. yeah, i mean, i think is the time testing thing to do. i mean, at the very least, there's billions of dollars of taxpayers, money in the us going into of organizations to the corrupt and then people are
11:23 am
putting them. i think that i'm pockets and paying them large salaries and that, you know, even worse than that, some of the money is going to fund crime and criminal activities. and we have a similar thing in the u. k. we use the something called the department for international development that's being disbanded now, but they still won't be called for an age and a lot of money. billions of pounds every year gets given to n g. those which they say is to go and do development and help people in other countries, but a lot of it just goes and disappears into people's pockets and, and doesn't actually do anything to help anyone anywhere. so i completely understand and it's a waste of huge amounts of money, which could also be used in the usa and or the you k. if you're talking about here, you don't want it to provide good public services or say contact to the ones that got that them far away. not least because we have
11:24 am
a huge national debt supposedly paid to reduce it. all right, we're going to live with our u. k. heritage party later david kurt and david. great to have you on. thank you. thank you. well for the president, trump, business is business and he wants to train the hand over it's natural rich as to the us in exchange for continued support under a lucrative new deal. when telling the ukraine they are very valuable, rarer so we one what we put up to go in terms of a few cranium. soldiers want new and 16 rifles if they want more of those anti tang javelins, if uh they won't do. bradley's instead of those to replace those that have been burned by russian. if be the drones, then the better fights and the better fight not full just for big, bold, beautiful words like a democracy or independence, but for something very grounded, both figuratively and literally full resources. and this idea,
11:25 am
i get some clear how populate will be among those who have been forcefully mobilized in ukraine and those who are in the trenches right now. but some of those keys, certainly not against it, because this is not the 1st time that this idea as being floated in the 1st time happened back to during the biden administration and back then. zalinski didn't exactly oppose it. they're sitting on for you and dollars worth of minerals are to be good. our economy, they're sitting on $10.00 to $123.00 in dollars of critical minerals in and you train. i don't want to give that money and those assets to put into share with china. now these estimates a quite a bit of exaggeration because most of these rare mineral deposits are either in the net school or guns region, the guns region. i mean, ukraine is in the control of just one percent of it, even less and ended in that squeak and rushes successfully advancing. and quite recently, the russians captured one of the biggest is not the biggest lithium deposit in
11:26 am
europe. and it is quite significant because even before the war, the german manufacturer is especially called manufacturer as they were offering that deposit to the pool. because logistically, it would make it, the breeze to send all those old at lithium to german car manufacturers and giants like siemens, for instance. because right now, my most of lithium, they get their getting from latin america, and it is not as easy to just transport lithium over the over the ocean. but when the war began, it is clear now that well, they will have to talk to russia about that particular deposit and all the rest, by the way, which are under the control of the russian troops right now. and the lithium is extremely valuable because it's pretty much in every device that you own that contains a batch for it's in your smartphone, it's in the laptop. it is crucial for com manufacturers because its impact fees. it's in your test flights and every electric car right now,
11:27 am
it's in the back for you. so it is crucial cutting costs on that end. well, the european european come off gets into european car industry isn't feeling very good right now. losing the competition to china, but again, all this, all of the above, it still does not show any clear motivation for the ukranian troops for an average ukrainian conscript who is in the trenches. and it will be a hard pill to swallow for him, it will be a hard thing to sell to them that they have to give their lives for the well being of european comp produces of the american taxpayer. and in general, for the european and the american industry. so this is not something that you go out there and just die for the china. has it back at washington using retaliatory terrace within minutes of us levies on chinese products coming
11:28 am
into effect. they doing has branded the us move a threat to global markets. we spoke with c 210 digital reporter and international relations analyst center way. who says it's not google's 1st time under a james microscope. actually enter monopoly investigation into a will go as be done many times in the you are being located in the us market and china is following the market of practice. actually in 2020 and the 2021. sean is a market to regulates or has already mentioned that 3 times. oh, google is just a spec to why they show about some reg nations and also about a suspected behaviors of monopolies. so that's why in today's case the china is a market. it regulates or the state to minister for market. the regulations set that the investigation was loans code is with the rules and regulations trying us to approach and dealing with the us. tal risk rights as opposed to jake and measure
11:29 am
it's by targeting us. the energy was part of a shows. do you understand you update nomic dynamics, i'd like bedding combined with the w t o is responsible and a rule of binding means demonstrating china's commitments to the international treat older. i think w a director general know goes it according to the man as a warning message at these years doubles conference matters.
