now also reporters press jen, saki about joe biden statement. the climate change was the biggest threat to the world. they asked if, if now, under the current circumstances, biding, would revise that and say russia was the biggest threat to the world, jen. saki would not, would not clarify that by changing his position and the press conference continued . many wonder if biden's actions currently match some of the rhetoric that he had on the campaign trail about, about russia, etc. so it seems like the white house is kind of scrambling to save face. amid this moment, as russia has gone ahead and recognised the dawn at the people's republic as well as the gods people's republic, and biden, the biden administration is trying to take action to the contrary. i'm saying that if russia were to move ahead with what they call a further invasion of ukraine, there will be further consequences. so not exactly clear messages coming from the biden administration about what their next moves might be. there are sanctions in the work, so there's certainly heavy

however, at this point jen, saki and her statement made clear, these are not the swift sanctions that have been threatened. the, the swift sanctions kicking russia out of the international banking system is not, is not what they're going to impose at this time. those would be imposed if russia were to quote further invade ukraine. now we have seen the white house communicating with different leaders around the world to confirm that they agree in opposition to russia's move to recognize the republic. so we have the white house speaking with german chancellor shoals, and they're both expressing opposition to the recognition of these republics. we also have the united states speaking with zelinski, the president of ukraine, and agreeing with him in opposition to this new recognition. now we've also heard from the canadian prime minister justin trudeau, this is what he had to say about the entire situation. we will fully stand for the entire territorial integrity of ukraine and do not recognize any attempts to, to in dependently, recognize or, or autonomy eyes. the separates, occupied sep

this is what jen, saki said. this said yesterday that a much more likely more ology folders that yesterday, that an invasion could come in today. can you help us where the difference here, why there still seems to be such a dark star differences or something. threats were pursuing a 2 track approach, which includes deterrence and diplomacy. but that we are ready either way for whatever decision president putin might make. and we don't have a new assessment of, of his decision and where he stands on it. now russia has made clear they have no intention of invading ukraine. there have been issues raised about security guarantees. when we heard from the chancellor, germany and the president united states, they discussed issues about the nature of the nato alliance. the cooperation between the 2 countries, economic relations many looked on and heard what many were thinking might be a little bit more of an eventful press conference. but it seemed like it's pretty routine remarks that we heard from the 2 leaders of the

now jen, saki, the white house spokesperson, gave remarks, basically saying that the situation and the way this crisis escalates, or d escalades, is all up to russia, that the ball is all in russia's court. as the united states continues to allege that russia is somehow planning an invasion of ukraine, this is what jen, saki said, said yesterday, that a much more likely war ology folders that yesterday and in the coming day. can you help us with our differences? i think we're pursuing a 2 track approach i, which includes deterrence and diplomacy. but that we are ready either way for whatever decision president putin might make. and we don't have a new assessment of, of his decision and where he stands on it. now, russia has made clear they have no intention of invading ukraine. there have been issues raised about security guarantees. when we heard from the chancellor, germany and the president united states, they discussed issues about the nature of the nato alliance. the cooperation between the 2 countries, economic relations many looked on and heard what many were thinking might be a

to calm down to the tone down it's rhetoric. indeed, i think that one of the major reasons that jen, saki has had to walk back the word imminent regarding a possible russia they claimed russian military invasion of ukraine. so lensky was, i had a press conference at and said that this was counter productive to the interest of ukraine. it wasn't about to happen. and so i think that the us and the white house looked completely deranged and out of place. and this kind of, this kind of disconnect between the us and its allies, makes for the rest of the world to sit back and, and doubt everything that the us is doing. and it makes us look more and more adventurous and reckless. well, can you, you're based in hamilton, canada at the moment. obviously, the talk about the tensions in ukraine been almost predominately about, you know, the west, the us, russia and ukraine. and nate. so how are things in canada? how did they relate to the situation? while the canadian government is in lock step with the u. s. on this, on every other policy, there is no independence of foreign policy in canada. the.

now, in addition to that, i, jen saki went on to say the usa would impose sanctions on anyone deemed to be operating in the areas, the areas that are part of these new republics that have just been recognized. now the statement clarifies that these new sanctions are not the swift sanctions that were threatened against russia. if russia were to quote further invade ukraine, that these swift sanctions are not being imposed at this time. but in addition to these, these new sanctions on the republics, there is talk of additional sanctions on russia being placed in response to russia, recognizing these republics that won't include kicking russia out of the international swift banking system. so that's what we've heard our waiting for further response. we know that there has been a meeting going on all day. the vice president comma la harris, us present, joe biden, the head of national security. and, you know, other figures from the pentagon had been meeting at the white house behind closed doors. so far this statement is all we have from the us administration. but we expect there will be

well, if you, if you trust what a spokeswoman white house spokesman, when jen, saki says, then it's actually a month in the workings and are the appropriate authorities or personalities. meaning the russian ambassador to the u. s. as well as the russian ambassador to the un had been informed of that month ago, or at least a significant amount of time before the action actually happened. so those diplomats 12 of them all stationed at un headquarters with the russian, a delegation there at the u. n. i have until march 7th to leave the country. and as you pointed out already, it is alleged that those 12 rush diplomats were spice, did engage in spanish work. and that is, of course, not to the wishes of the united states as if it would be for any other country. and since the united states is the host of the u. n. r, the united states has the right to expel those diplomats, and that sir walter, the us and the white house and out today's going to happen a caged if and let's talk now about this emergency meeting of the un general assembly. how is the voting on this resolution that deploring russia's

now later we heard from jen saki the white house spokesperson, and when she spoke, she was pressed on issues such as the possibility of the swift banking system in throwing russia out of the international banking system. now apparently this is not in the sanctions that are currently being considered on russia. so it seems like the white house is kind of scrambling to save face. mid this moment, as russia has gone ahead and recognised the dawn at the people's republic as well as the gods people's republic, and biden, the biden administration, is trying to take action to the contrary. and saying that if russia were to move ahead with what they call a further invasion of ukraine, there will be further consequences. so not exactly clear messages coming from the biden administration about what their next moves might be. there are sanctions in the works. others certainly have a condemnation being directed at russia. no question about that. of for me on this, we are joined, alive now by marx, abraham's professor, our political science, or the north eastern university of boston. maxwell comes

it all comes after the white house said weighed in on the dispute with press 60 jen saki urging sponsor, fighting, get even tougher on pandemic. misinformation so our hope is that all major tech platforms and all major new sources for that matter, be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the american people have access to accurate information on something as significant as covet. 19 that certainly includes spot to fly, but ultimately, you know, our view is, it's a, it's a, it's a good step. it's a positive step, but there's more that can be done. let's look back at how it all started. joe rogan was rounded on recently after he had false claims about the pandemic and vaccines. it prompted a number of high profile musicians and spoke if like to quit the platform, they were protesting saying they wouldn't be on it if he was in response. but if i said that it would start labeling shows that disgust cove, it commenting on the controversies. but if i see said that the streaming john doesn't close live on this or rogan's podcast because it sees itself as a distribution platform, not his publis

one of the major reasons is that jen, saki has had to walk back the word imminent regarding a possible russia, they acclaimed russian military invasion of ukraine. so lensky was, i had a press conference and said that this was counter productive to the interest of ukraine. it wasn't about to happen. and so i think that the us and the white house looked completely deranged and out of place. and this kind of, this kind of disconnect between the us and its allies, makes for the rest of the world to ship back and, and dos everything that the us is doing. and it makes us look more and more adventurous and reckless. the 2022 winter olympics get underway in beijing on friday. but the great sporting events in march with control this is some countries refused to send diplomats to the opening ceremony. and the west also accusing china preparing to spy on us leads. lexia shasky has more for decades, the international olympic committee claimed that sports has nothing to do with politics and all the games. all the olympic games are absolutely free of politics, but in the case of beijing 2022 games,

for now, later we heard from jen saki the white house spokesperson. and when she spoke, she was pressed on issues such as the possibility of the swift banking system in throwing russia out of the international banking system. now apparently this is not in the sanctions that are currently being considered on russia. so it seems like the white house is kind of scrambling to save face mid this moment as russia has gone ahead and recognised the dawn at the people's republic as well as the gods people's republic. and biden, the biden administration is trying to take action to the contrary and saying that if russia were to move ahead with what they call a further invasion of ukraine, there will be further consequences. so not exactly clear messages coming from the biden administration about what their next moves might be. there are sanctions in the works. others certainly have a condemnation being directed at russia. no question about that. we spoke with the journalist and analysts keeps in mansfield. he says the biden has conceded this sanctions against ru

for now, later we heard from jen saki the white house spokesperson. and when she spoke, she was pressed on issues such as the possibility of the swift banking system in throwing russia out of the international banking system. now apparently this is not in the sanctions that are currently being considered on russia. so it seems like the white house is kind of scrambling to save face mid this moment as russia has gone ahead and recognised the dawn at the people's republic as well as the gods people's republic. and biden, the biden administration is trying to take action to the contrary and saying that if russia were to move ahead with what they call a further invasion of ukraine, there will be further consequences. so not exactly clear messages coming from the biden administration about what their next moves might be. there are sanctions in the works. others certainly have a condemnation being directed at russia. no question about that. we spoke with a journalist and analyst keeps in mansfield. he says the biden has conceded this sanctions against russi

white house press secretary jen. saki has gone as far as to say that pollutant is putting the strategic deterrence forces on high alert based on what she called a manufactured threat. now the united states and norway, among other countries, are calling for an emergency un security council meeting. that'll be happening. that'll be happening here in manhattan at the un headquarters, just a few blocks from where i am now. we'll be covering that meeting and reporting on what happens when that meeting takes place. but it's interesting that the united states and the white house are claiming this is a made up threat because we're going over what nato has announced it is sending to ukraine. germany is sending 1000 anti tank weapons, 500 stringer missiles and 14 armed vehicles. the netherlands is sending 50 anti tank weapons, 400 missiles and 200 string or missiles. belgium is sending 2000 automatic rifles and 2800 tons of fuel. we have portugal sending $175.00 troopers, and we had the united states promising $600000000.00 in military assistance. but apparently, according to the white house, all

that's how jen, saki is putting it, so it seems like the white house is now back tracking on their allegation that there was some kind of an eminent invasion of ukraine. one wonders how soon they'll be back. tracking on this allegation of an upcoming false flag video. well, to further flesh out this story, we can cross live to paul robinson, professor of public, an international affairs of the university of elsewhere full welcome to the program . hello, we have these latest allegations of russia preparing a false flag attack as a pretext to invade ukraine. what do you think is the goal behind this allegation? that's quite hard to say. i mean, i often, and these things, the people making these allegations believe in that even if it's what it's the implausible. but i think the reason the making it public is this may possibly be an offense propaganda effort to, to the american point of view on public pressure on, on, on russia, the americans crying that will be releasing this information to deterrent purposes and of words to tell the russians, you know what you're up to, don't do it. and if you

peter, all of a r c for lead to us figures from white house press secretary jen saki to speak. and nancy pelosi seemed to have missed the memo. the politics and sports don't mix and repair only using the beijing elim fixed to school points against china. and with the international olympic committee changing its roles to let athletes protest, the games have turned into something of a political football as alexi irish f, the reports, the winter lympics and beijing are continuing and it still seems that politics and sport unfortunately, go side by side despite the r i o c's, president thomas box please to deprive those games of any political overtones. now 1st and foremost, washington has pushed back on and early a statement by the house speaker, nancy pelosi. she said last week that she did not encourage us athletes participating in the beijing olympics to speak out against the chinese government to make any political gestures and sign. the political protests during the performance says, i do not encourage them to speak out against the chinese government there, because i fear for

it all comes up to the white house, weighed in on the dispute press 60 jen saki urging the tech john to take further action in the fight against pandemic misinformation. so our hope is that all major tech platforms and all major new sources for that matter, be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the american people have access to accurate information on something as significant as cove in 1900. that certainly includes spot a fly, but ultimately, you know, our view is, it's a, it's a, it's a good step. it's a positive step, but there's more that can be done. so let's look at how it all started. joe rogan was criticized for airing false claims, about the pandemic and vaccines. and the last few weeks, a number of high profile musicians and podcast is quit the spotify platform in protest. they said that they wouldn't be on it if rogan was responsible. if i said it would add a content warning to his shows that disgust cove it fortify ceos also claimed that the streaming giant does not closely monitor rogan's podcast as it sees itself as a distribution platform. not his publisher. they s

things came to a head that happened after the white house weighed in on the dispute press. secretary jen, saki urged spotify to get even tougher, and what she states is covet misinformation. so our hope is that all major tech platforms and all major new sources for that matter, be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the american people have access to accurate information on something as significant as cove in 1900. that certainly includes spot of fly, but ultimately, you know, our view is, it's a, it's a, it's a good step. it's a positive step, but there's more that can be done. and in terms of how all this starts, it, joe rogan was rounded on after he was accused of airing. false claims about cobit and vaccines. not prompted a handful of high profile musicians on spotify to quit the club form and protest saying they wouldn't be on it if rogan was in response. spotify said it would start labeling shows which disgust cove it commenting on the controversy. spotify, c, e. o said the streaming giant does not at closely monitor rogan's podcast, which by the way, can last hours of all free willing

, as things came to her head after the white house weighed in on the disputes with press section jen, saki urging spotify to get even tougher on so named coven misinformation. so our hope is that all major tech platforms, and i'll major new sources for that matter, be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the american people have access to accurate information on something as significant as coven 19. that certainly includes spot to fly. but ultimately, i, you know, our view is, it's a, it's a, it's a good step. it's a positive step, but there's more that can be done. now, in terms of how this all started, joe rogan was rounded on after he was accused of airing, false claims, about coded and vaccines. and in turn, that prompted a handful of high profile musicians or spots. if i to quit the platform in protest, seeing that they wouldn't be on it if rogan was in response to sports, if i said it would start labeling shows, which discussed covered, commenting on the controversy spots if i see. oh said the streaming giant does not close the monitor rogan's podcast which can last for hours and in

one of the major reasons is that jen, saki has had to walk back the word imminent regarding a possible rush. they claimed russian military invasion of ukraine. so lensky was, i had a press conference at and said that this was counter productive to the interest of ukraine. it wasn't about to happen. and so i think that the us and the white house looked completely deranged and out of place. and this kind of, this kind of disconnect between the us and its allies, makes for the rest of the world to ship back and, and dos everything that the us is doing. and it makes us look more and more adventurous and reckless energy bills for british households are about to. so by an average of $700.00 pounds a year, it's off, the national regulator lifted a price cap. it has raised the specter of mass fuel property at a time when energy firms are cashing in on near record fuel prices. a shot it was dr. picks out the story. if the eating or hating die, lemme move fast enough people in britain and not worry, they might not be able to do either. that says the energy price capital rise by 54 percent in apr

one of the major reasons is that jen, saki has had to walk back the word imminent regarding a possible russia, they acclaimed russian military invasion of ukraine. so lensky was an i had a press conference and said that this was counter productive to the interest of ukraine. it wasn't about to happen. and so i think that the us and the white house looked completely deranged and out of place. and this kind of, this kind of disconnect between the us and its allies, makes for the rest of the world to sit back and and dos everything that the us is doing. and it makes us look more and more adventurous and reckless. just tony temp on the out here at moscow. unicef says 6 children were killed at the time. the u. s . conducted a special operation in northwest syria, a president biden hale that mission a success, claiming islamic chiefs, excuse me, the chief i should say. it was on the state, had been eliminated. forces carried out the operation with their signature preparation and precision. and i directed the department of defense to take every precaution possible to minimize civilian casualt

now it all comes off to the white house, waited on the dispute with the press secretary jen saki urging spotify to get even tougher on so called cove at misinformation. so our hope is that all major tech platforms and all major new sources for that matter, be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the american people have access to accurate information on something as significant as cove in 1900. that certainly includes spot of fly, but ultimately, you know, our view is, it's a, it's a, it's a good step. it's a positive step, but there's more that can be done. and so just one moment look back at how this all started. a joe rogan was rounded on recently off, he was accused of airing false claims about cobit and vaccines. that prompted a number of high profile musicians on spotify to quit the platform saying they wouldn't be on that if rogan was response. what if i said it would start labeling shows that discuss cove it now competing on the whole controversy, spotify. c, e o said the streaming giant does not close the monitor robbins podcasts and sees itself as a distribution platform, not

that's how jen, saki is putting it, so it seems like the white house is now back tracking on their allegation that there was some kind of an eminent invasion of ukraine. one wonders how soon they'll be back. tracking on this allegation of an upcoming false flag video. well, kayla, thank you for flushing out the story for us us corresponding caleb more in. thank you. the russian foreign ministry has published a lift vitality, measures against germany. it comes just a day after the german media regulates a blog. it's our sister channel artsy, d e. well, my colleague roy to say, discuss the latest developments with archie correspondence, sha davinsky, and on quarter deutsch avella, its offices are going to be close to the rob russia. its journalists are going to have their press accreditations taken away and all of their russian language broadcasts are going to be taken off the air. now ga bella has since responded to this, they put out a media statement. they said that they're not going to take any action until they get official confirmation from moscow of these measures. and when they do, they

is that at the moment or not on the table, from what we understand from a previous statement by jen saki, the white house spokesperson, and those, those, you know, these threats sanctions on russia are yet to be heard. we haven't heard about them . we have seen the executive order that was signed by biden imposing sanctions on these republics that has been declared, but it's also worth noting that on us social media, the top number one trending term has been putin, the russian president. his name has been the top number one trending term, and 2nd is president's day because after all, february 21st is the birthday of george washington. the 1st president of the added states. and today is a federal holiday in the united states presidents day. so we have putin as the number one trending term on twitter, followed by president's day in honor of the u. s. federal holiday. quite an interesting turn of events, there is bound to be more reaction from the united states to these moves from russia, or what we understand there has been a meeting going on at the white house with the leaders of the pent

that's how jen, saki is putting it. so it, it seems like the white house is now back tracking on their allegation that there was some kind of an eminent invasion of ukraine. our one wonders how soon they'll be back tracking on this allegation of an upcoming false flag video. we can now cross lives investigative journalists, dave lind off. dave, welcome to the program. thanks for having that. thank you. was a pleasure. no washer to say in the rush is preparing a video to justify will they alleged an attack on ukraine, and then only yesterday, which i guess is wednesday. now have gen, saki refusing to suits, use the word imminent about this? it's art. what do you make of these seemingly contradictory statements? well, 1st let's, let's take the eminence problem that, you know, basically the u. s. got slammed by president zalinski for saying that because it's been ruining the of the already shaky ukrainian economy. you know, i mean, if you think there's going to be a war who's going to invest, who's going to, what was, of w

and actually, we're just getting an update now from washington where jen, saki is a speaking, actually it's so just that listening and hopefully get an update on diplomatic efforts that are not on the way. and actually, we're just going to hear now that was j jen. so give it a bit on birth, which is hearing now from us national security advisor, jake sullivan ration in russia and ukraine. and then i'd be happy to take your questions. we continue to, to see the signs of russian escalation, including new forces arriving at the ukrainian border. as we've said before, we are in the window when an invasion could begin at any time, should vladimir putin decide to order it. i will not comment on the details of our intelligence information, but i do want to be clear, it could begin during the olympics despite a lot of speculation that it would only happen after the olympics. as we've said before, we are ready either way. we are ready to continue results oriented diplomacy that addresses the security concerns of the united states, russia and europe, consistent with our values and with the princ

calling on the biden administration to stop restricting oil production and white house press secretary jen sakies to defend the federal government's moves. >> settings on the keystone pipeline, oil and gas leases, incomprehensibly green lighting the nordtream 2 deal. in the same moment president biden should authorize the keystone pipeline and authorize oil and gas leases in the united states of america. >> the keystone pipeline is not flowing. not sure how that would solve anything. you of oil leases are not being tapped into by oil companies. >> reporter: their working to relieve oil reserves to provide some relief. in the meantime drivers continue to deal with sticker shock at the pump. eric: we shouldn't buy a drop of anything from russia whether it is gas or and something else. we should cut them off completely. arthel: xi jinping and vladimir putin talking by phone yesterday as russian troops close in on ukraine at capital city, vladimir putin explaining the historical context of the ukrainian issue to xi jinping at the chinese president offering his support for the russian leader. milita

, virtually the entire country is in an area of high transmission, the white house spokesperson, jen sakiout this, and it appears the states. and we don't really care they said, we will get rid of them anyhow. >> states that are dropping the mess mandates schools, only children have been vaccinated quick >> this is the interesting thing, if there are high rates of vaccination, you might feel better about taking away mass mandates for schools. with take a look, children aged 5-11, what you see when you look at that, for example in connecticut, 34% of children ages 5-11 are full effect, delaware 23%, and organ 30 person. and not a big first centage, then telling children and teachers to take of mass when most children are not vaccinated. >> interesting, thank you very much. >>> another health authority, all for relaxing restrictions at the right time, is that time now? the author of lifelines, a doctors journey, do you agree with the move quick >> i do. >> a time and place, they would be removed this is began, and in this case circumstances have changed, case counts are declining in the sci

jackie: so there you have it, white house press secretary jen saki essentially getting in front of thenumber is not expected to be that great. of course she is placing the blame on omicron. estimates calling for the united states economy to added 150,000 new non-farm jobs this past month. unemployment at 3.9%. this as today's decent jolts data shows job openings rose to 10.9 million, well above the estimates, up from 10.8 million in the previous month. so they're going in the wrong direction. bring in macro trends advisors, founding partner, university of san diego visiting fellow mitch roschelle. mitch, good to see you. the anticipation is anemic jobs but some are calling for a significant loss of jobs this month and the white house is already saying oh, it is all omicron, that is the problem, but you could say it is their handling of omicron that led us here. >> let's blame a spike protein instead of really, really bad policy. that has been what has been going on for the last year. also it is kind of ironic that when president trump got ahead of a jobs number, good or bad, said somet

is changed in the last 1520 minutes from the podium of the white house briefing room, jen, saki, the press secretary announced that the us was going to sanction said guy oliver, of the foreign minister and vladimir, put in the president of russia. it comes after a discussion earlier today between joe biden and the head of the you, joe biden. and the white house administration has said from the start, they want to make sure that sanctions are coordinated, that they are sustainable, that every country is comfortable with doing them because that would have the longest term impact the 24 hours ago. joe biden was here at the white house that he was asked if there was a possibility that said guy loved off on vladimir putin would be sanctioned. he said that was still very much on the table. 24 hours later. he's decided that yet those sanctions are now in place and that also includes a travel. but interestingly enough, jan jen sack, he was asked if they would bond travel from russia in the way that the united kingdom has done. she said this stage there are no plans, but she did tell is again

reporter: we expect to hear from the press secretary jen saki today but no president biden events on the schedule. that could change as world events unfold but unless they do we won't see him today, neil? >> peter, you have asked this, has the president responded to some of the criticism he has gotten about the tepid nature of early sanctions? i understand the delicate dance not overdoing it, especially to hold off a full-scale invasion but they seem pretty kind of light-weighted? reporter: they came out yesterday, pretty late in the day by normal standards to defend the sanctions but they will keep going bit by bit. they essentially are waiting to see what putin does. even though there are all these reports they're warning you ukrainians that there is full-scale invasion of the country. they're not stopping it with the sanctions. they will wait and see and ratchet up as putin does. neil: thank you my friend, peter doocy from the white house f we get any comments out of pennsylvania avenue we'll pass that along. to kirk lippold, former uss cole commander. kirk, always great to have y

here is press secretary jen sakie. >> those could include but not be limited to the report you just referencedave not occurred. >> in a bid to back up the claims of withdrawal, the russian defense ministry released video of tanks being transported by train which the ministry says are returning to their point of permanent deployment after exercises. that's a government video. ukrainians held a national day of unity yesterday. they waved flags in the streets and hundreds unfolded a 650-foot flag at kyiv's olympic stadium. senator murphy, what is your assessment of where we are right now? we heard the claims from russia they're backing away. again, it was government claims, government video of tanks on trains purportedly showing a pull back, but u.s. intelligence appears to tell a different story. what can you tell us this morning? >> this is quintessential putin playbook. it is what he did in 2008 in georgia. he made a very big deal about ten days before he invaded georgia about his withdrawal of a limited number of forces that were present in and near the country. he wants to get international
