Release nearly 10 million Canadian Dollars in donations to those who set up the fundraisers. Controversy sorry about that. Arthel i was going to say the controversy is prompting accusations of hypocrisy for some while others are accusing gofundme of outright theft. Whats up with this, bryant . The crown funding site took down the fundraiser support, the convoy of canadian truckers because the website only supports people protesting. Gofundme says that Freedom Convoy had unlawful occupation Downtown Ottawa in the capitol city. The Fundraising Site said Law Enforcement provided Police Reform proving unlawful activity taking place. As a result, gofundme set Freedom Convoy organizers would no longer have access to the over 10 million Canadian Dollars raised for their cause and instead, the money would be sent to credible established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy. This led to swift backlash online from both sides of the border, ron desantis really, its a fraud for gofundme, the 9 million in donations for truckers and the causes of their own choosing. I will work with the ag to investigate these Deceptive Practices and they should be given a refund. Can that us Peoples Party leader tweeted this is outright embezzlement on the part of gofundme, they are thieves. The Prime Minister is accomplice. Even Tesla Ceo Elon musk tweeted Double Standard . Screen grab of codes banh mi supporting 2020 fundraiser of the anti Police Occupation protest in seattle. After this criticism, gofundme has backtracked on its plans to donate the millions raised for the truckers. To simplify the process for our users, we will refund the donations to the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser, it will happen automatically. You do not need to submit a request. Donors need to request refunds within seven to ten business days. Canadas Prime Minister has characterized the protests as racist, Freedom Convoy organizers deny the claims part of a new fundraiser on a site called give that go. Write out the money going back is refunding to everybody who donated. Arthel thank you, brian. Rich.

Arthel Declassify Info on a potential russian plan, to stage a fake attack by ukraine on russia. This is a justified invasion, fox news learned russia has about 70 forces in place it would need to launch a fullscale attack, thats about one 30,000 troops. Lucas thomason is live at the capitol now, what can you tell us . I can tell you thats the equivalent of about ten u. S. Army divisions, the first 2000 american paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division are on the ground in the white house want russian false flag operations will continue. These are actions we are seeing straight out of the playbook. Weve seen operations in the past used confusion to launch Military Action many times in history. Germanys Invasion Of Poland in 1939 was conducted under a false operation. They could have killed Tens Of Thousands of ukrainian soldiers and soldiers, it could turn millions here into refugees. They are poised to invade not just from belarus from the north by crimea to the south as well if Vladimir Putin gives the order. This was released, joint forces this week using fighter jets, tanks and Rocket Launcher systems and a few hours ago, russia flew supersonic fox news travel to the abandoned city, potential invasion by the russians to witness training by Ukrainian Forces not far from the russian troops. I asked ukraines Defense Minister if he was worried. The soldiers are practicing in close quarters not far from the border of belarus, up to 30,000 russian forces, less than 100 miles from the capitol city. Invasion doesnt work. The Commanding General 82nd Airborne Division is on the ground in poland, Chris Donahue if the u. S. Military evacuation of afghanistan, The Last American soldier to leave. While ukrainian officials and many we spoke to on the streets are not worried, back in washington and the pentagon, a lot of concern. Arthel 11 08 p. M. There, and give. Rich but bring in james, an International Security expert at mit, thank you for joining us this afternoon. I want to get your overall assessment of where you think is heads in the next couple of months, you think Vladimir Putin is just trying to get the diplomatic extractions here from the west or is he really poised to invade ukraine again . I think you put your finger on it, whatever will happen will happen sooner rather than later. In part because spring thaws. We have technology that makes technology, easier to deal with but nevertheless, if something is going to go down, it will go down in february or march. Is it possible . Yes, hes done it before. Georgia and Eastern Ukraine and crimea. Does he have the capability . Yes, hes on the border, a tremendous advantage of geography. Will he do it . Thats an entirely different question. If they were to invade canada tomorrow, that could be easily but is it a good idea . Does the cost outweighed the benefit . I think people are scratching their heads and thinking whats going on here . Other than bargaining from this you really think he wants to invade ukraine . Is the cost would be really high. I think theres puzzlement for what the endgame is is he bargaining, does he really believe contrary to all evidence ukraine is going to join nato . That doesnt seem likely but theres a bit of a puzzle here. What are the costs here . Only seven or eight years ago he assumed control of crimea and got a backseat out of it, he was kicked out of the ga which is now the g7, are the sanctions of the u. S. And u. S. Putting on the table so severe that it doesnt deter an invasion . On top of that, rbc enough of a unified investment including nato to deter Vladimir Putin . I think its only part of it. Americans focus on sanctions, sanctions. Theres a lot more going on. Why does Vladimir Putin say that about ukraine . He says i dont want to have a land border Nuclear Armed enemy nato. What happens if he takes ukraine and gets on the border with his Nuclear Armed adversary, nato . Meanwhile with the previous inpatient, he takes the russian part and where does that leave . That takes the russians community out of ukraine leaving a lot more people in ukraine right there and now they are ticked off because putin makes another slide. What they need to do is not that so much ukraine, it is nato. Does he really want to face a situation where nato deals friend and palms weapons and money on the border . Feel like they have to punch back to show its relevant and standing up . Thats not a recipe for a win and frankly, what when did he get in donbass and georgia . I think its more tactic than strategy. Rich when you look at the u. S. Planning now and sending a Military Presence to american and nato allies in the region, how much of a deterred effect does it have . You think it sends a strong message . The u. S. Isnt saying in any context that there will be a u. S. Troop presence in ukraine but as the u. S. Sends more troops to the region, what does it do . Its doing two things. It may not stop him from grabbing a flight to ukraine but its doing other important things. Its reassuring the members of nato that if he does this, we are going to back you, we are putting our blood, our troops on the ground, another way of saying if they die, we are going to attack. The tripwire that reinforces the sense that the u. S. Has resolved and will defend Nato Alliance partners. It also prepares the way for additional troops deployment if in fact putin decides to trip the wire and cause these problems. Its mostly about keeping the alliance together, mostly keeping it unified but also sending a message, more is coming if you keep this up. Rich james, thanks very much for joining us this afternoon. Arthel Breaking News from morocco, a heartbreaking update on a little boy trapped in a well for four days. Rescue crews finally reached him last hour but sadly, had died. Crews say the 5yearold boy, while he fell down 100 feet through the whole while playing near his home tuesday. Rescuers say the whole was only a foot and a half in diameter, which is too small for others to climb down. They worked around the clock to dig a Horizontal Tunnel next to him to reach him but there was unstable soil, inmate the Rescue Operation more difficult. He was pulled out of the well last hour and hundreds of people watched. Marcus king announced moments ago hes died. Coming up, Border Patrol sounding the alarm about security on the Southern Border as the number of migrants and Illegal Drugs entering the country searching. Thats up next. Joe rogan facing more controversy after a video of him repeatedly using the n word went viral. The tech news report Report Spotify removed more than 70 episodes of rogan podcast from the platform. Rogan released a five minute video that says hes deeply remorseful for using racial slurs. He apologized for comparing a black neighborhood to the movie planted many of the apes. This is after artists including neil young and Jodi Mitchell pulled their music from spotify to protest anti vaccine content on rogans podcast. If not commented on the latest viral video. Rich the surge of the Southern Border is now well into its second year with continuing my time. Border patrol says a large percentage of migrants are coming from countries beyond mexico and Central America northern triangle. Heres more from his alkyl, texas. Number one. The fact that the support is open its no secret to anyone. They will get here and get a job and will pay more than where they are coming from. Some of the countries grassy in nicaragua, we have almost zero different relations and we cant send them back so they can claim persecution cant stay here and not be sent back. Down here, there are two others, runners and repeat offenders. 25 of those caught have been caught before. Title 42, or patrol can deport them but they hang out in mexico a few days and then try again. The second trend, large groups of present awareness nicaragua here, you see applicants and normal northern triangle countries, they are in an economic meltdown and President Biden gave temporary protection status to venezuelans in speculation hes going to extend it to nicaragua, protecting the population from deportation and agent say its incentivizing more people to come and they see it every day. If they are a single adult they will most likely be sent back under title 42 unless they have protective status like venezuela or nicaragua. Video last week we shot in yuma, 90 are not mexican or northern triangle but venezuela. Get this, traffic from venezuela is from 500 58000 in the first three months this fiscal year versus last british nicaraguans, 1200 apprehensions, now up to 40000. That doesnt happen without a very good reason. Because of those numbers, its hard to get a gauge on what we have right now in the United States. There are a lot of getaways. Most of us see people crossing the border by foot. According to the city, then border cities like tijuana and mexicali and crossing into mexico and venezuelans traveling into mexico without a visa to cut down on the traffic. Rich william, thank you. This is something people need to talk about. The amount of fentanyl thoughts come across the border is enough to kill every single american seven times over. This is a problem because every single city in america is a border city because do you know where it comes from . China it comes across the border where they are making more money. Arthel Law Enforcement agencies and Public Health organizations are blaming drug cartel for the spike and fentanyl Overdose Deaths across the u. S. For the first time in history last year, more fentanyl was seized at the portland heroin enough has gone through to cause 40000 deaths in 18 to 45yearold between april 2020 and april 2021, making fentanyl the leading cause of death during that time. Health Officials Say no one is safe because its showing up in every type of drug him often without the users knowledge. Lets bring in the Border Patrol agent at the national Border Patrol council vice president. Is it coming from china . How bad is it and what is the biggest problem as you see it . Obviously its coming into mexico and transported to the Southern Border. The reason its continuously coming through and larger numbers of seizures of it but at the same time, more is getting through evidence by the present streets and individuals overdosing on it. A lot of it is because the drug cartel are aware of what happens on the border because of the current administrations lack of enforcement on the border, what it has done is removes agents from one area of the field and put them in the Processing Centers so then the cartel, once they are aware of that, they transport their drugs through in fact what is continuously happening. Weve seen it in the amount of seizures, im here in arizona and everything will time you turn on even the local news, qc some type of seizure. A couple of days ago there was several different Law Enforcement agencies who worked together and they were able to do Seven Raids In Tucson where again, theres going after a group of Cartel Members bringing fentanyl into the United States and its something thats continuously happening. Arthel its so sad because as we just said, a lot of people dont even know they are taking something laced with fentanyl. Is this coming through china . How are the drug cartel working around this . The way they work around it is they are very much aware they flood one area with illegal aliens coming through, it diverts the agents to that area for one, then when they have to transport them from they will transport them to a Processing Center and cartel will see those areas are left unmanned in fact when they bring their product across. Arthel let me look at some stats because according to u. S. Customs and Border Protection 2019, 2800 pounds of fentanyl was seized at the border compared to almost 4700 pounds in 2020, 11000 pounds last year. 11000 pounds last year. In the first 38 days of this year, 2700 pounds of fentanyl seized at the u. S. Southern border. Is it coming from china . How do we begin to correct this and what is your recommendation . Obviously have to be reinforcing more Immigration Laws on the border and have agents able toet down there be able to process individuals they are apprehending send them back to the country as soon as possible because the drug cartel, they are not done and they realize where the gaps are and where they are doing it, there are reports they are getting a lot of the drugs from china but they are coming in through our Southern Border and working with the Mexican Cartel and that is whats happening. You have to show enforcement and put agents in the areas where they are needed. Arthel it sounds like a good plan, i heard you you are right, youre not the only one if we dont put a substantial dent in the number of illegal crossings and enormous amount of drugs coming across the border, in short order, there will be serious consequences, what you think would happen if this doesnt get fixed soon . Or at least i hate to say fixed because of the complicated problem you cant just fix it but something has to be done to stop the flow immediately. You are seeing overdoses across the country, the prices of fentanyl being lowered. Prices drop because theres more coming into the country. What needs to be done is Immigration Judges who look at these false asylum claims and send people back and have Asylum Officers at the border so they can send them back and expand to title 42. Right now you have individuals coming across with a child and they are left in the United States. Those are some of the issues. The Drug Smugglers and Human Smugglers are often aware of that. You need true consequences for people breaking our nations laws. Arthel what are the consequences . Sending the individuals back. The individuals who are repeat offenders, give them real jail time. Having people cross and you allowing them to stay in the country and then waiting and hoping at some time they show up to their Immigration Case and then when they show up you give them a couple more weeks to get their affairs in order before you send them back to their country, those are not real consequences, thats a relaxed way of doing things and allowing the criminal element to continuously laugh at our country and our loss. Arthel i have to leave it there. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you. Rich police in big cities are putting pressure on District Attorneys to crackdown on crime. Ill tell you about one chief refusing to work with his local prosecutor on some cases. Fox news alert, one person is dead and four others her in a shooting last night, alarms near Virginia Techs campuses, one hurt is a Virginia Tech student. Griff jenkins has more on this story. Tragedy striking, one person was killed and four others injured including a Virginia Tech student after shots rang out at a bar just before midnight the bars name was a hookah lounge, a short distance from tempest. Police cant and an active homicide investigation. No word on the extent of the injuries. Students nearby reacted to the gunfire. We were downtown tonight. We got the first alert at the 711 here. We contemplated whether we should stay or go and probably figured it was safer to stay at the bar. The campus was placed on lockdown until just before dawn. Police releasing no details about the suspects or motives or active threats to the community. The victims have not been identified Virginia Techs president is issuing a statement saying our condolences go out to the family and the deceased and we extent our support to those who were injured. Our community is strong in our strength is from the care and concern from one another. The shooting brings back memories nearly 15 years ago when Virginia Tech was a site of a deadly shoe school shooting. And undergraduates couldnt killing 32 students and injuring 17 others. Investigation, police tell fox news multiple Law Enforcement agencies are assisting in asking people to avoid the downtown area. Crime surges in many big cities across the United States, a number of liberal prosecutors are pressure to get tougher on criminals. That includes San Francisco brief the citys police chief says his department was no longer work with controversial District Attorney, Police Involved shootings and use of force cases. It is facing a Recall Election in june, he stands by his progressive agenda. There is no doubt in some cases regardless of who the suspect is regardless of the person who caused the harm or violence from officials at our disposal, prosecutors and judges and sheriffs in many instances the schools are inadequate to fully address societal harm. Lets breaking richard, member of the republican trial lawyers association, thank you for joining us this afternoon, i want to get your take on what is going on here. Its very simple, there are three groups in the Criminal Justice system, police, the judges and the prosecutors. When they dont do their job, they are sworn to uphold the law, the constitution and when they dont do their job, we are left less safe. Theres too much discretion they have to make law and that is not their job. They dont make law, they enforce law but thats whats happening here. When you look at this case in San Francisco, Police Department saying to the Prosecutors Office and it comes to Police Involved shootings, we are not going to work on this issue anymore but what is your thought on taking the power to investigate Police Accusations of crime and taking that and putting that in the das office . Is that wrong here or is it not working in San Francisco . I think a lot of times the Police Involved shootings usually want to go to independent agencies who dont want to work with Police Agencies on a daytoday basis. If you are the sheriff or police in San Francisco and theres no shooting, you handed off to an independent agency for example, Attorney General in california, thats how it should work. That way theres no thought about bias or interference because the police in San Francisco work with the District Attorneys Office and was office at the same time so its best to have an independent agency at the same time. When it comes to what prosecutors are doing, we are seeing a pole walk on prosecutors so what they have done in changing their policies, we are seeing it in manhattan right now with the District Attorney clarifying, in his words, hes going to be prosecuting or how his office will prosecute crime. The New York City, crimes are up 38 this year these are San Francisco statistics, we are comparing 2021 compared to 2020, homicide up 60. 7 . Assault up 9. 2 . Larceny up 22. 7 . Why do you think, in a number of ideas thrown out here, why is it that cities like San Francisco and new york and d. C. And other places are seeing a surge in crime . There are a number of things happening, one is you have funding and mental illness, economic issues, lack of jobs, coronavirus and covid where people are very stressed and frustrated, all of these social ills are adding to it and then you have the liberal agenda which is we are now not going to arrest people for actually breaking the law. Like in New York City, the d. A. For manhattan, we are not going to prosecute small things. While if somebody is breaking the law, thats what the police are therefore and what they should be doing. Remember giuliani, you arrest all levels of crime sort doesnt become a bigger level crime. The prosecutors have to enforce the law when they are enforcing the law, they deal with others so if they have a Mental Health issue issue, they should get help. What keeps us safe is the prosecution, the prosecutors have to prosecute people and Police Arrest people and judges keep criminals behind bars. Thank you for joining us this afternoon. Thank you. Arthel as the Winter Olympics get underway, one lawmaker is morning america athletes are not to criticize china over the countrys human rights abuses. Well have details of the growing push to boycott the game.

S. , uk and canada are a handful of countries taking part in the boycott of china by not sending dignitaries, citing concerns over chinas dismal human rights records. Usa department copy ongoing abuses against the prominent genocide. The u. S. Has intelligence of a number of humanitarian crimes committed by the Chinese Communist party including arbitrary infringement, forced labor and forced sterilization on women. It will be another tool for them to use to justify their actions. Nancy pelosi warrant athletes competing in beijing to not speak out about china. She said shes concerned about their safety. Do not risk incurring the anger of the Chinese Government because they are ruthless. I know there is temptation on the part of some to speak out while they are there. I respect that but i also worry about what the Chinese Government might do. That comment by the california democrat with backlash from both sides of the aisle. I respectfully disagree with the speaker because you cannot normalize what they are doing and to go there and act like all is well is to normalize it, the brutal behavior. This is disgusting, to tell our athletes dont tell us what youre seeing and keep your mouth shut, we know theres a lot of hypocrisy when it comes to the un leadership. When it comes to the biden administration, pelosis comments. Human rights activists are side of nbcs headquarters in new york calling on them to cancel their broadcast of the games.

The department of transportation has a plan to help fix supply chain issues. Involves getting more Truck Drivers on the road. But to make it work they have to make one change. Austin westfall explains. And many states people 18 years and older can already drive trucks within state lines. But if you want to drive state lines you must be at least 21 years old and new program is ending aiming to change that. Cracks between 6000 Truck Missions about 3500 trucks a day. Cracks those who run the 300acre terminal and mount pleasant, South Carolina call it a ballet of loading and unloading trucks and ships request a lot of ports have been affected including ours. And at different ports at different times very quick to coo of South Corona Port Barbara Melvin said the ballet is only possible when the terminal is flowing well. Which could be tough during a National Trucker shortage. Works with local Charter Schools frequency Apprenticeship Program is not the sole answer to it but it will help it out.

Cracks and can take years to train, would not mind the started seeing people as young as 16 years old start to become interested in learning how to truck. That way they can train up for a couple of years and they can hit the ground or running as soon as they turn 18.
