5:06 pm
doing here what i believed to be the right thing. i think for providing legal aid you right right now is critically important. before we even talk about ukraine, i'm going to tell the president when i'm telling all of you and we've told the american people border border border, we need a clarity on what we're doing in ukraine and how will have proper oversight of the spending of precious taxpayer dollars and american citizens, the republican warehouse will not be jammed or forced into passing a $4.00 and $8.00 bill that was opposed by most republican senators. and does nothing to secure our own board. this time for washington to start showing some love to americans. meanwhile, a house speaker johnson's pop policy advisor died. ziegler turns out to be a professional lobbyist with a list of very powerful clients and exclusive exclusive report from a bright bod says the enterprise is all shy, one interest, and it's to continue the conflict in new pharmaceutical corporations. financial
5:07 pm
service firms in other enterprises old, providing the services to key as well. let's take this compensation further on crossing live. now the legal and media analysts, lionel lyle, very well. welcome to you. good to see my friend. i mean, how is it the, the previous version of, of the us for an a bill was stuck in congress for months. why the sucking green light you tell me and we will both know the level of confusion on the part of many of us cannot be understated when we had a picture this past weekend of, of congressmen and women congress, people on the floor of the house waving ukrainian flags. yeah. not american flags, ukrainian flag and, and most people were saying, what does this have to do with us? now? i don't have to tell you, but when you bring that up, if you want to say, wait a minute, what does this to, to secure our borders? our national security, your call either
5:08 pm
a bro putting in the show or some and then the aged or on or something which i don't think even makes any sense anymore. i cannot emphasize to you what we are feeling here. and we had a congressman from virginia who said, many people suggest that there was a big difference between the rush and your brain border and the american southern border. well, there isn't. and we're thinking is this a mistake? is this chat g p t? is this a i did to 10 this be real? so i, my friend, i'm the, the, the focus today of incredulity. what about probably about news line, a lot. bravo news addressing the house. speaker johnson's top policy advisor used to be a professional lobbyist is the enterprises sharing one common interest right now that's to continue the complicated ukraine. i mean, what's all taken? all that is, is there, is there a lot of kind of behind the scenes wheeling and dealing going on here with a lot of money being involved?
5:09 pm
you're kidding, right. i mean, um, yes, um, but, but that's, that's called good governance. that's the 1st amendment. washington is nothing but a lobbying central and if, if anybody were just suggest that do you think that maybe for example, certain industries, oh, i don't know defense that they might have a, a not a stranglehold buddy, a, a level of interest and a connection as to what's going on? maybe over others. it's another one of the many lobbies. i don't think anybody would, would be at all shocked about the keep in mind. this is the most amazing me, rory, you have in the old days i, i'm old enough to remember. there was this left and right division. the left is we would call it, we're pretty much anti war pro peace pro social today. when you have rachel motto in bello riley agreeing on something, you don't want to wait
5:10 pm
a minute. what happened here here, and it's not just that it is real, it's, it's everything. and you had people who stood behind, i believe, against a domestic surveillance by pfizer statutes and the like. that's been a band. and so we, we don't know what happened. yeah, yeah, yes. good point is a good what i, what i'm mess, we're looking out today a line well, i mean look, talk a cost and he actually, he cannot criticize us democracy in general the he called the system quote, dishonest line i'll have. how about listen to this? what makes it particularly galling and hard to live with is when you call that system of democracy, right? that's too dishonest for me. it's i would much rather live in a monarchy where everyone thinks the king has been assigned by god to rule over us . and his whims are law and you know, the sense i don't like it, but at least it has internal coherence, right? when they stand up and pass a $60000000000.00 funding bill for ukraine when 70 percent of the population
5:11 pm
doesn't want it when they are ignoring the actual problems in our country, like the economy in the border. and they're holly and congress over the weekend to pass some of the people don't want well during the things that people do want. and if they do the same kind of thing again and again for like 50 years and they called a democracy that will drive you insane. yeah, talk it basically saying the system is broken, this democracy is not a democracy. and again, he says, the congress refusing to listen to the people, especially even during an election. yeah. how do you read tucker calls in this position line on this? but there were a bunch of red dots on him. he has been targeted by everybody. and the reason why is there is simply this, not only is this conventional left, right, a paradigm being destroyed with a lot of americans being very, very upset and with an election coming up in about 219 days or so. but you will
5:12 pm
have the complete and total destruction of what was in the old days the, the, the stay there's mainstream. so i've public media who don't know what to do with this. joe rogan and tucker, carlson can get more eyes and ears and hearts and attention. then all of them put together. and what they're going to do is they're now coming after him a call him a conspiracy. there was, but that my friend is not the future. that's what's happening now. yeah. well, we are doing it right now. this is the future. yeah, basically imagine, i mean, you know, of course i talk a few months ago was here at moscow. he called the amazing interview with the russian president. and at the same time, the, you know, he's a journalist with goodness, i got a covering uncomfortable truth. he does that with the russian president and america starts washington's thoughts say, we should revoke his citizenship from college. secondly, where is, where is the freedom of the press today? i lot of let me ask you just quickly just thought about to your credit. certainly $60000000000.00 a month for ukraine. clearly we all know this by now. key of is not going to be getting most of that. the majority of this money stays stateside is going to the
5:13 pm
minute train. destro a complex always makes me wonder why is the landscape becky, for more money when he must know most of it's not going to him is going back into the us military industrial complex. meantime, keith is also getting 10000000000 in loans. do you think line all those payments will be made? well, the thing is, or not will it be made, but when are they going to be forgiven? look, i have a very simple point here. is there ever any mention of auditing? we have a figure in our country called the federal reserve and 99 percent of the people don't understand either. that's not audited. what. what do americans think this money means and when it's allocated? does it ever have to be vouch for? this is where it went, this is how it was spent, very quickly calling paul one time somebody comes of worried the visiting called a pottery barn role. this is if you break, if you own it, i think we should go back to that because when you talk about broken regimes regime change, we're back to where we were before with the ran a rack and enough gather,
5:14 pm
stand in vietnam, don't we ever learn? yeah, i mean, really, when it comes to foreign policy, i don't understand why the main culprits, everett's isla line. no legal, immediate, unless it was a pleasure. thank you my friend see use. thank you, sir. so the u. k. is a defense industry is now on a war footing that's according to the prime minister, who added the military budget to set to grow by tens of billions of pounds to ensure further weapons production. we will increase defense spending to a new base, 9 of 2 and a half percent of g d, p. by 2030. over the next 6 years, we'll invest an additional 75000000 pounds in our defense. we have a clear plan for what we'll spend when we'll spend it on how we pay for it. first, we will put the u. k. so in defense industry, unable to take one of a central lessons of the war and ukraine, is that we need deepest, don't pause munitions and industry to be able to replenish them more quickly. also
5:15 pm
not quite on to announce a law just as a military aid package to ukraine during this visit of poland imagined will also with nato secretary general discussing europe and secure we provide them with prime minister is now heading over to germany for a meeting with a deeply unpopular johnson our own f schultz says, well, the, the defense minnesota ground shop. so he really is a video away he announced and showcase parts of the aid package. and the very useful tools to bring democracy in humanity and peace to ukraine. ukraine is an x, the central baffle appears in must not waiting for the security of the united kingdom, which is why we were the 1st country in the world to provide and to tank weapons like this. excellent and little. we will 1st country to bride main buffing tanks, like the previous exit. to this challenge, the 3, i'm with the 1st country in the world to provide long range missiles like the outstanding storm shadow. what's the day?
5:16 pm
i'm delighted to announce that we are providing all biggest ever a package of gifted equipment to ukraine, plus another half a 1000000000 pounds to bring all total contribution this year. to 3000000000 pounds . we heard earlier from roberto griffith, the identity general, the secretary of the communist party of britain. he says, right now it's clear, the voice of the people remains on the hood by the elite in london. is this a, i think we all need to be clear, the to britain likes the united states and nato. and the west is quite prepared to kind of you on this. lauren ukraine to the last ukranian butcher. next to it is very patch to die. lives is from the real problems facing the peoples of britain. i will voices are simply never heard of them. and so you know that the reality is that despite all of the approval propaganda of the big issue. so sometimes the vast majority of the people in britain that concern the norm as the
5:17 pm
cost of living crisis, which is a cost of profit, is crisis because big business is doing terrifically well as a screw people into the grounds. the big issues, including the health service, 8000000 people waiting to, to have a, a, an operation in the national l service homes in a prominent shortage of affordable housing. the priorities let the people in prison have 200 days and counting gods mocking the milestone in this tuesday. no. during the time the enclave has been under attack by the idea of forces following the mass of types of october. the safety of the are all by law. now, one of the very latest targets with foot has come during one of the latest bombing campaigns by you as well. so far, the official comment from tel aviv this while local media reports the central areas of the enclave and being under intense attacks of the past, 48 hours,
5:18 pm
including in crowded rescue g. i'm now the total death toll since the october. the 7th attacks us, a passing a 34000 people more than 90 percent of those killed civilians. when it comes with a simple issue of accountability, some have been accused of turning a blind eye. for example, canada and its finance minister. mr. freeman, you condemn is just killing a 40000 children. stop watching. you can damage it was killing of course in 1000 chosen admission or for the wife walking away. it should be very easy for her to condemn it. a cheese condemned the protests against the genocide she just did that recently. but the but they don't want to because they are we complicit in israel's up of criminal activities. and because of all the canadian government is not interested in a resolution in the sense that is not willing to impose any sort of pressure on israel regarding the arms band and that motion in the house of commons. it was
5:19 pm
a small step forward, but it didn't, didn't do a number of things considered around arms. and so there's a whole bunch. it was like $300.00 upstanding arms permits, the israel and the resolution. the government had a change from the opposition, which is stronger language and basically allow for those outstanding permits to still be processed. and so creating companies provide all kinds of components for things like the ex 35 that is really using to, to bomb guys the boss syria for that matter. so yeah, so, so that we don't know exactly how much a weapon it's kind of, it has been selling to israel via the us. but it certainly in the tens and tens of millions of dollars per year. and the, the motion that was passed didn't touch on that question whatsoever.
5:20 pm
and you, us our say, department report on human rights violations around the world makes 0 condemnation of israel is ongoing actions and gaza. that has prompted, of course, claims of double standards, something the us secretary of state by to point to a home or down to do we have a double stance? the answer is no. as this report makes clear, in general, as we're looking at the human rights and the condition of human rights around the world, we apply the same standard to everyone. and that doesn't change whether the country in question is an adversary, a competitor, a friend or an ally. so have a look of some southern contrast done. make up your mind as israel exercises its right to self defense, we have made clear that it must conduct military operations in accordance with international law and take every feasible precaution to protect civilians, the criminals, these regard and consent for human rights. our full display in its war against
5:21 pm
ukraine. rushman forces employed violence against civilians as a deliberate 2 or 4 fare. report highlights documentation of human rights violations and abuses, some amounting to crimes against humanity throughout the 2nd year of russia's brutal full scale invasion of ukraine. and while the cause a coffee, it has resulted in the killing of well over 30000 civilians in the last uh, 6 months. the ukrainian confidence claimed about a 3rd of that. and more than 2 years. i divided ministration has refrained from accusing israel, a breaching international lloyd's approach to russia is one, a 180 degrees different but with the southern african countries are kicking out form a french colonial forces. some of the confident have their eyes on washington. the shares folder us to go home with drawers troops, neighboring chat, the same story as washington to be in order to stop with activities inside the country. more details before we join our guest with our correspond is quite clear for the united states. you either follow its agenda or you are
5:22 pm
a traitor to democracy. however, america is now facing the reality that due to this very approach, it's presence in many places in africa is on the want to win. all of these countries kicked out the french and turn the invalids with, then strides to pay the to become the peacemaker in the hopes that we could keep all presents the, all of that is clearly not working well. now out, russia is now in sure, but the reason russia is then might just be because it is not cold in other states on how to govern themselves. for instance, in the past few years, a handful of african states like new their molly worked in el paso, and the central african republic were fed up with frances presidents in their countries. so they took them out. and the same story is said to repeat itself, the u. s. as in the cross hairs now as it has failed to nurture relations in the continent, and has been asked to pack up and ship out by
5:23 pm
a number of countries who wish to cut ties. the air forces ask the american defense a to shake to meet at least stop american activities on the edge. i can say air base and we ask you to intercede with the appropriate authorities to inform the americans that we have taken the decision to stop their activity. of the american presidents and instead of doing the public of the share is legal doilies, the constitutional and democratic rules, which with regard to southern people, notably fluid selection officials to become solid on the installation of a for now on the, on a standard 3, it was false washington, recently we called over a 1000 of his troops based in new year and said, might be next in line as it is also pushed in for americans to well get out. it's not surprising that some african countries are standing up against the american presence, according to the african center for strategic studies that's from terrorism and i've heard that have sky rocketed with tens of thousands being killed last year
5:24 pm
alone in the areas america has been stationed during its war on terror in the region. you would think that a power, like the united states would be diplomatically smarter, while most goes relations with the nations on the continent are based on norse and trust between 2 parties. washington's policies on the other hand, are not based on dual interest, but generally on, containing russia and china. in line with spent is going to to national defense strategy. the department of defense will engage with african partners to expose and highlight the risk of negative people's republic of china and washing activities in africa. as the russian and chinese presents, there are a headache for the west. washington does need to agree. action is just to send past just smooth things over, instead of simply working. so creative soul and diplomatic ties that bring real benefits to both parties. well,
5:25 pm
advocates i've had enough of the was interfering in their affairs and put in the content as a try for independence in the back seat. the new year and government regrets the desire of the american government to deny the silver and new jerry and people the right to choose their partners and types of partnership capable of helping them to truly fight against terrorism. we condemned these militia statements as completely uncalled for defamatory provocative and a continuation of wanton hostilities against some bob way by the us government. we demand that the buyer and the ministration provides evidence in support of these gratuitous accusations. failure to which the administration must, without any further delay, withdraw them unconditionally. so much time and money spent. yet their goals on the continent are not exactly clear. not only did the west approach to africa backfire, it only brought the continent even closer to russia, and china,
5:26 pm
of those relations with africa date back to soviet times and have been strengthening recently as russia has proven itself to be a reliable partner to the continent. so the mother, if you see the component of everything difficult times that you find out who your true friends are when africa was experiencing difficulties. whether that, with slavery clarity lies ation upon side. russia has always been, if not the 1st one, i'm the country. then one of the countries by africa side to help said the good because showing kids as on rooted in history, most of this cooperation has recently progressed by leaps and bounds. we want to thank you, the russian federation, the russian government, and the russian people for this will miss you. thank you very much for the interest you show. so for the support we continuously receive from the russian federation identity. as the multi paula world emerges from the american dominance, all countries are demanding to be treated as equals and he's the west colonial mindset that is cloud in its vision to clearly see that diplomacy is
5:27 pm
a 2 way street as the other party should not be run off the road. let's have this conversation further here and i'll take off and we'll have to the story and an old hood gerald whole and not joining us. there are not a journal the variable welcome to you. i mean, you know, it's a great story. this is at the multi, what potable continues to flourish. them in africa grows and world leaders and thought diplomats have been flocking to the con, confident to try and keep, or even deign pot issue. what are your thoughts, gerald the, what african states and looking for an a pot. and why is some of them seemingly turning away from west and pockets to? well, i think the answer is obvious. recall that it was decades ago that the 1st us president george h w bush. that is to say the 1st president bush announced with ports out is that the united states has more will than lot. and if you look at these year, in particular, united states spend a $100000000.00 on a drone base, but the people's needs go towards health care and education. in the meantime,
5:28 pm
china, the china national petroleum company, arrived with a $400000000.00 check. in exchange for me is yours, oil to be transported in a multi $1000000000.00 pipeline to pay me on the atlantic coast, then to be transported to china at the same time, use the finances, and bad holder with many west african nations. they reset the decades of colonialism and they also resent the fact that france has exported their resources . a good deal of the radio powers frontier electricity to this very 2nd comes from uranium from these year. yeah, the us administration was quite unhappy when new 0 thought to break that deal and instead try to deal with wrong instead. and so we see that us relations with these here and an african general or a crisis. yeah, yeah, i think this and you make a really good comment. there are appreciated, joe,
5:29 pm
that nice. well rounded comment as well. you talk about the french uranium, a referral which is mostly pathfinder bought by nuclear energy and, and for so many decades. so many years from, from new jersey, i was getting uranium like pennies on the dollar. i'd just paying hardly anything for the stuff. and it was powering most of the country of bronze. and you mentioned china coming to certain parts of the african continent, building infrastructure, electricity, schools, and roads and bridges. i guess building bridges is a, a better way of putting it. but when, when it comes to west and pauses, or even perhaps form of partners, where do you think the trend is going? do you think the west can say face on the continental? or there are too many shadows and old ghosts looking for the times of colonialism. to many settles in old ghost, indeed, they appeared and materialized when the us, the general michael langley, he's the head of power. com, the circle africa command, which monitors african militarily, showed up in the army the capital of these year and began to cancel the news here
5:30 pm
in the stars without getting too close to russia and china in iran. and he was properly shown the door. yeah, that is to say that they saw that there is a reprehensible infringement on their sovereignty. and an echo of neo colonial. yeah, yeah, this is not another good point for me, gerald. and you know, it's a conversation that we're really going to have to have more time for because there are so many implications. gerald with, with a new multi potent will roll, moving forwards together, the global south and the implications. what they all to that if the writing hedge them on a gerald horn is a historian and offer a very interesting academic tool to thank you so much for your time. thank you. thanks for your time as well for joining us here for this program lie from most but this is awesome international we hope to see the
