The brand that it was stabbed in the back trying to call the deal extremely irresponsible, narrow minded president biden. And his foreign policy has, once again generated convention with one of our allies, while motivating an adversary to take action against even more, we will bring you the worlds reaction, as well as how china might potentially respond to the new deal. And ukraine might be the new home for the us army to iron down. But what does that mean for us . Russian relations going forward. We will explain. And in washington, dc, bigger possi is putting up her own iron down in preparation for a raleigh in support of the january. 6 protesters have been arrested. We will have a report from the capitol as well as look at all of the measures the Capitol Hill police are taking to ensure there will not be a repeat of the events of january 6. Im going to use these stories and more on todays right here. On our t america, lets get started. Ah, well, a day later we are now starting to find out the details behind the Surprise Announcement regarding the new alliance between the United States, the u. K and australia. Now the deal is for the u. S. To sell nuclear Submarine Technology from the u. K. And the u. S. They all came together at the G Summit Street 7 summit earlier this summer in june. Now this would be the 1st nuclear powered submarine acquired by australia in fear of the growing military strength in china. Now, originally the antenna was for australia to buy 12 diesel powered subs at a cost of 90000000000. 00 from france. So as you can imagine, the french were not happy at the loss of the projected revenue. And the foreign ministry of china had this to say, may war us the u. K. And australia, cooperation unit, nuclear submarine yearly damages, regional Peace And Stability arjun intensifies the arms rates and jeopardizes of the international efforts and promoting for the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. Us a new Case Action of exporting highly sensitive nuclear Submarine Technology. Once again, they are using nuclear Export Tool for political games and adapts double standard. This is a highly responsible to go to, but china just re, was countered by taiwan and japan, who are jove, joyful at the new partnership, saying it provides additional security for the South China Sea region, or to show it to ben sky is in paris and has more of the reaction from the french capital. This was like a knife in the back. So you can imagine what people are saying behind the reaction. He is the re, theory even be on the forum. And its also saying this is not what i like. Do you treat children . And essentially, this is something that he would have expected from the trumpet administration. Not saying that he didnt expect this from the biden ministration, but i think you can read between the lines that the armed forces minutes. The hearing problems also said that this would have consequences for geo politics and international relationships. And this is all over the Fact Itll Strayer has not canceled that mole tree. Tens oF Billions of Dollars Worth of a deal with france to build a Submarine Fleet instead. Shimming up to the us and deciding to opt for the nuclear submarine. Please. If you think that europe at the moment is just reeling from the idea that the us with ritz Troops Chemist on without even bothering to let them know what it was doing, the time scale, it was doing that too. And over the last few weeks we have seen so many you ministers, politicians, leaders even suggesting that europe needs to do is to have more strategical told me that means kind of pull it away. You back from the United States. It felt like it was left in the deep and gonna stand, coupled with this, the realization is that perhaps america is not the part that it thought it should be under biden, after the trump era. So discuss his new development and what it means for the future. Us partnership to bring in for naval entail intelligence officer, john georgia. And john, thanks for joining me on some 1st. I just want to ask you this idea that this is something that the french president thought under trumpet. You know that this is of the trump would do. Did trump ever do anything like this, where you actually sold out his ally and went behind his back and sold it to another country to make money for his own country . Well, i dont think this is about making money for the United States. This is, there are several parties to this and destroyers one, but no, trump didnt do that. All truck did, by the way, the europeans were equally unhappy with him. When trump insisted that the europeans, including the french germans, the english, english and, and others live up to their obligations under the north atlantic treaty in terms of their defense expenditures which they hadnt. And the u. S. Had basically made up for that was subsidizing europe. They didnt like trump for that. In this case, its still deciding that they need a different system. Diesel electric submarines like the french french we are sellinG Our short range. They have the surface every few every day or so to recharge their batteries. And theyre real tactical limitations and theres also, theyre also not able to operate unsupported over long distances. In this case, the australian rail, as troy navy made the determination that they needed a platform that could operate further north that could protect us j as interests more than a few 100 miles just off shore that could operate cooperatively with taiwan with japan, with the United States, so this is much more a decision by australia than any else. Remember, australia is the customer, and the u. S. In the u. K. Decided that they were going to sell the technology, which in this case is not merely just reactors, but the Propeller Design generators, electrical systems. And most importantly of all, the acoustic protections, the ability to keep the submarine silent, and a nuclear submarine can basically submerge and stay submerged from the 2 or 3 months. Let us submarines to limited only by Food And Crew insurance. Do electric submarines. They go again. They have to pop up to the surface and recharge the batteries and are unable operate, unsupported for long distance is a long time. So this is really decision by the australians. Ok, so i get that. So maybe they did a better product for what they were looking for. I can understand that. But why do you think there is so much contention coming from france and the situation . Do you think that the french were given a heads out that this was going to be coming down or did they find out mainly by just turninG On their television and seeing the announcement between the 3 leaders . Well, who knows . I mean, you know, the french are famous for their flair for the dramatic and maybe they did get a heads up. Maybe they didnt. But even if they didnt get a heads up, theyre going to want to act like the aggrieved party because who wouldnt, theyre the, they had a 90000000000. 00 contract that theyre not going to get thats a lot of money as a lot of money for France Lot of workers in france are going to be impacted by that. The Friend President Micron has to look good domestically and has to look sufficiently outraged because theres going to be domestic political fall inside of france over this. So, so 11. 00 can understand why the french are upset, but its not clear whether or not they had a heads up. Well, and thats the bigger picture. This is the relationship with native right now obviously theres a lot of questions about the trust that other companies can have in the or other countries can have relyinG On the United States. But moves like this. Do you think other countries will look and go, wait a minute. This is your alley, this is your nato ally. Will this have an effect on nato partnerships . Do you believe moving forward, or will they always go . Well, is america going to do to us . But we feel like they, what, at least on the surface did to france. Well, its a great question. I mean, certainly us credibility was hugely damaged with Friend And Foe alike with the manner and timinG Of our withdrawal from afghanistan. However, the world is not all blacks and whites, theres very so shades of gray where most of the World World events happen this. And this is such a case here. Remember as the royal australian navy that decided they wanted the nuclear submarines right. And the diesel electric summaries there wasnt a unilateral u. S. Decision in to france is not part of the military alliance of native for the political nato lines. Charles De Gaulle pulled france out of the military alliance. But right after World War 2. So are people going to see this being an example of the u. S. Perfectly probably not, because the australians again are the Customer Party and the u. S. Is merely and the care a merely vendors, the nato was still going to look and wait and see where us actions and match up with us words. But i think in the final analysis, whats really going to matter is how well the u. S. And how consistent the u. S. Is in defending its nato allies, whether its a eastern europe or our allies in asia with regard to china or allies in the middle east. If the u. S. Starts to falter in any one of those places. That would be the probably, maybe the Death Knell of us credibility for quite some time. Well, and i think thats what the question is up there right now. Like i said, its just because weve gone through the last 6 weeks before i let you go, you know, australia says theyre doing this because they believe that china could possibly be aggressive to them and they want to be prepared. But are we seeing currently at least in the present, any signs of aggression against australia, specifically by china . Any threats . Well right now, what you have is it, its your, your rating bilateral chinese australian relationship con, canberra and beijing. Ive been in a very strange but very intense trade conflict. Now for a couple of years, china has made very clear that it intends to expand that sphere of Influence Both South and to the east. Australia is naturally concerned by this because their relative G O out, jo, geographic isolation from the United States. So astray is more or less looking forward looking forward in time and wants to be able to have the defend the systems necessary to protect its interest. And it feels that these nuclear power submarines are far, far more able to do so the diesel electric ones. But the con, to the conflict between China And Australia is ongoing. Its unbelief the surface and certainly in the western media. But its very much there and the australians and feel very isolated. Well, it will be very interesting to see how this continues that have conversations do happen again. Between the United States and french, how that will go, maybe that is just to make up the french way. Were joining me while other countries in recent months, my feel actually a little insecure about their relationship with the United States. Ukraine has nothing to worry about. Since takinG Office, the Vita Ministration has made her to consistently continue the shipments of weapons and training to do cranium, military, including more than 275000000. 00 worth of support and equipment. But some members of congress, they want to do more and they have attached to the 2022 defense bill. A provision which would sell or just transfer the new Era Missile Defense system to ukraine. This would include the iron dont battery, currently operated by the us army. So to discuss why this is on the table, we actually bring in former pentagon official micro maloof, michael sure, can scratching my head because right now it seems like were taking up every single ally that we can. And yet Congress Isnt so motivated right now. Some members of them are so motivated to be loyal to ukraine. Why do you think this is what weve been so disloyal to our other allies over the past few months . Well, what were going to do, lets do it right, but just upset everybody. And, but i think its seriously, its more aimed at anti russian Thinking Youve got the neo cons and within the, by the ministration that are still pushing to move nato up to the, up to the federation. And they havent ceased. And in this comes despite the fact that even our allies in the, in the Post F can period now or even wondering about our commitments, the nato. So i think the United States is think it still thinks its in a leadership role. But, but you got the allies and everybody and the rest of the world scratching their heads above commitment from the u. S. On anything any more. I think the ukrainians love it. They, they, they love getting the whatever attention they can out of washington. And but its it, but the question will be what will be that commitment even to the ukrainians and the end given the Track Record of the by the administration. I think its something that even the ukrainians are going to have to be a little concerned about. As for the iron dont, its a nice advanced system, but it, it, it may not work all that well in that environment. Because where it was where its to be placed in the eastern part of the, of the ukraine. And that, that doesnt lend itself for the type of, of air Defense System that this is, isnt more of a longer range Defense System. And it would, you would need a shorter range Defense System in that area. But, you know, the members of congress are just on a spending spree, so theyll, theyll spend money on anything, notwithstanding, what the commitment, some i, what the capabilities might be and the need and other or other assistance would be more effective if, if the by ministration is going that route, but Iron Dome given its performance recently by the israel is against the palestinian iraq say, think its the best thing since sliced bread was interesting. Michael, because, you know, earlier this summer you saw the ukraine was hinting, i said i will buy it now of a sudden you have Years Congress or, you know, well actually just give it to you. Its very interesting relationship, but that goes, its not just with this administration continuously, whether youre talking about biting trump obama, even back to which theres always money going to ukraine from the United States. More than a lot of other countries in the country that gets a lot of focus more than other countries the world. So what is the United States gain a more importantly, its usually their Politicians Gain by sending support to ukraine. But i think its because of its anti russian position, that thats all about it. Thats basically yet. Plus you have nato try and doing increasing its military exercise with a non nato country in, in an area that we dont belong in. And its really in Russia Sphere of influence and, and, and its meant to propagate its, its, its a, its a provocative thing. And if you, if Youll Recall that Victoria Newland was right up there involved in the coo that brought down the previous government there. Even though it was supportive of russia, but shes now the Under Secretary of state for political affairs and she she then theyre constantly pushing that near con, that narrative as well as her husband who was Robert Kagan and he is the Nia Collins near town. So, and their whole idea is to push nato to the break of the, or to the, to the border of the federation. And if they can, theyre going to do wherever, wherever they can. But these countries are going to have to reevaluate and reassess u. S. Commitment on anything at this point, and you could put money into the, into the ukraine its, its just, its just means that russia is going to put in counter systems that are going to be just as effective, if not more so. And theres just so much money to going to be spent in Analysis And Assessment needs to be made on, on just how important we need to continue doing all this was happening. Megan, what the actual, dangerous, and how much just because we have our equipment over there in the region. If that means the United States actually has it, thats the same as saying, were going to fight with you. If it comes to point that you have to use the equipment in real quick, ive got to let you go on to some. But my other thought that i do have to ask you, is this more about making sure that nato gets involved in ukraine . Is that why ukraines reachinG Out right now and encouraging that . Yeah, nato will, ukraine will not be able to join nato. The members of nato are, are against the same with georgia. We had just in 2008 when we did military maneuvers in georgia. We had just left when the russians came on, came on in, that just shows you the extent of us engagement with and commitment to, to defense of georgia. And thats the same will apply to ukraine. Well, and i want to continue this conversation like always michael, thank you for setting and some light on this situation. Sure. Coming up, we will have a report from the capital and a look at all the measures that Capitol Hill police are taking to ensure there will not be a repeat of the events that we saw in january 6 state in the ah, i have transparency for the powerful receipts and the last bit cares about privacy. What people care about is power. Julian, a sons, is become a symbol of the battles oF Brevity. Information is power. Thats whats goinG On. And a huge struggle with governments and corporations who want to keep information secret and others who democratic rights should be pushed forward. And people have a right to know what to do. Watch houses help to shift the conversation around transparency and see what that battle has done. To him, i feel like julian might be coming to an end. We are in a Conflict Situation with the largest and most powerful employer. In such a situation. Its remarkable to survive. Western Civilization And Culture have been infected by a mindset, surprises, ideology over competent to over reason. Democracy is only a good idea if and when it serves the lead interest. Then theres the issue of competent competence used to be rewarded. Now incompetent is overlooked with serving ideology. Ah, ah ah ah, ah, i the it was picking down a month ago and now its back up to fencing around the Nations Capital has returned at the report of a right winged rally scheduled for september 18th. Thats this saturday, started making the rounds online, while its still unclear how many plans to actually come to dc to attend the rally, please, were not going to take any chances this time. And lawmakers continue to point the fingers as to whos responsible for the events of january 6 are to foreign projects, shows us what it looks like actually at the capital. And will we see this every time . There is a raleigh particularly if its a right Wing Rally the perceived threat that put back up the fencing around the capital. Is the justice for j. 6 rally on the West Lawn saturday, september 18th. This is a little bit of a smaller offense than what we had seen before. Kind of the inner perimeters, the rally is to support them. 600. 00 defendants imprisoned for their participation at the January 6th riots at the capital. Simultaneous j 6 rallies are expected. In 13 other locations around the country, when it comes to washington, d. C. One rally organizer, a former trump 2016 campaign employee, says they expect around 700 people to attend. The Police Force Decision to resurrect the fence was announced monday after presenting a classified briefing, the Capital Police Chief saying the fence will go up a day or 2 before the rally and will come down soon after. If all goes planned, we know that the Capital Police have equipment on loan from the department of defense, special Surveillance Equipment that they had requested months ago. That is just now arrived at the capital, which is likely to be used for Saturdays Rally as well. Just extra eyes, years for police to be watching. The original fencing was put up after the january, 6 riot. Along with 26000. 00 troops deployed to the capital of our Wire Fence was then installed around the capital, which costs 50000000. 00 to install. Originally slated to be up till this fall. The fences were taken down in july after Law Maker said it was making their accessibility to and from work inconvenient the Weekends Rally will present Law Enforcement officials with the 1st a large Scale Security Test to the capital. Since January Capital police note that since then the agency has improves training install a new emergency response plan, added additional equipment. Launched a department wide Operation Planning Process and have met regarding Saturdays Event for the last month. Congress has not slated to be in session saturday, but the national guard has been called back to guard the capital over the weekend as lawmakers will then return monday morning. We want to return the capital to a place where people can come. Children can learn. Families can celebrate together the greatness of our country, the new protective barrier, even if only temporary brings the argument. Is congress once again walling itself off above and apart from the people it represents. Well that perception further widened the distrust between the government and the people. And the more expensive question will a new fence be reinstalled every time a planned rally . Threatened potential violence against congress for new views. Hughes, im fair in france. Back for more of the situation. We are drained by a martin, president of the shapely Ego Form Someone that played a small role in the original planning. But really just, you know, he was there on january 6, all the events that happened. But he was actually a part of the peaceful rally that was before when to the cap. I was just and i thank you for joining me on this. Ive welcome. Im a little frustrated. I got up this morning and i actually went out there about 7 am and i wanted to see what im calling nancys play pin. And i didnt do any fences. I saw. They say theyre at the corners, but its nowhere near to what i experience last spring when i was walking around. So is this a little excessive, considering even the organizers are saying is not going to be that many people here. Yeah, of course. Look, this is all done as theater, its political theater. In this case, its political theater to try to hammer home that the political prisoners that are in the jails in dc held without proper hearings without the right kind of due process. All this time, the people that were there in january 6, anyone broke the law, im offering, forcing a law. But i tell you this if you are writing in the big cities in america last year, most of those people were let loose. They never had anything charged against them. So this is all done. She did this after January 6th, to masterful effect, the media, the mainstream media, the fake news media plays along all these images. All the spear book Congress Isnt then. Its is an obsession on saturday. If the Capital Police CantControl Something when theres no one in, in session im in, this is just all done for theater. I do think its the worst kind of political theatre. And i think the fact that polosa gets away with that and isnt called out on it is extraordinary, and the world is watching. Thats the problem, scotty. The world is watching and saying, this is pathetic area thinking, its pathetic because theres not a real threat or theyre thinking, wow, america must be under siege. And thats a lie from the F B i from the Capital Police from anybody thats looked at this. That was a lie, it is a lie and it will be a lie tomorrow. What is our causes right . To peacefully protests and thats one of the things that guarantee to every american and they forget that. So, i mean, unless theres a credible threat, even though you hear once you get a non sources popping in. And i just ask you though, in the various different groups that you belong to are who is actually promoting this raleigh who is behind it, who is advocatinG Or do you know people that are cominG On saturday . Are you seeing any organizations that your organization knows of that is saying, hey guys, everybody come to d. C. Sort of like what we did see back in december amongst a lot of church and other conservative groups. As to perfect question, scotty, when they say, oh, my gosh, as a biG Organization, as you mentioned after november, 3rd, i was involved in grassroots organizing in the 3 events that took place, including January 6 Peaceful protesters. People coming, ive heard of no one saying theyre coming for this. Ive heard no group promoting and ive heard no one say that theyre agitated about it. Nothing. And im dealing with faculty families of those that are political prisoners right now. I know whats goinG On again, this is engineered by the Biden Pelosi regime to get the kind of sympathetic images in their mind of this country under assault. And to talk more about this, its, it really, again, is the worst kind of political theatre. And its a kind oF Betrayal of the american public and the biggest problem, scotty is other than you asking that question. Most of the media is playing along, including the conservatives. So showing the images and saying, oh my gosh, theyve got a wall this off. Its so terrible and terrifying. Its it again, as you point out, there wont be anyone there. The people that will be there, theyll be a few people. Theyll cherry pick the weirdest and worst and have them on tv and say, look at this, this guys got a swastika in his cousins yard. Isnt this terrible . Its nonsense. Its insulting. And its degradinG Our republic in front of our eyes. Well, and talking about political theatre real quick at 30 seconds. It just came down that Michael Sussman has he was a, it was just indicted by as a cyber Security Attorney saying that he lied. And John Durham is actually going to go after that. He lied to congress, say that there was a meeting between the Trump Organization and russia baked. That was a lie. Is there anything thats going to come out of that political theatre yet . Yes, of course. What were going to do, hopefully get to the bottom because theres more lying by political players, and then we have to hold them accountable. So we need more indictments, and lets get it out into the open. If he says he didnt lie, put him under oath. And lets hear what he has to say, because the russia, russia, Russia Hoax was a lie, the find People Hoax was why the january 6 was a lie, it goes on and on, on all done right below she and the left. By the way, political agenda meant to accomplish their own narrative. Thank you so much for joining me on this.
