this once again full of all kind of conspiracy serious and fortunately and see all kind of claims on video or etc which i don't share at all because. there are there is no reasoning at all why there should be and in all meant so it is it's very interesting that it's serious speech rejecting i would see even silencing does kinds of rumors and conspiracies this is a good sign. no matter who wins the next american presidential election the u.s. national counterintelligence security center apparently knows already which external actor is to blame if trump wins thank the russians if biden the chinese or the iranians or both the latest statement by the center's director says there are many foreign actors that quote have a preference over election results it warns us voters that china these trump is

4:13 am
a free nation in which many baseless conspiracy theories are discussed on the internet the surge could be interesting q one comes as the u.s. skews a predilection a few years ago it was a fringe theory and tomorrow the headlines will be massive protests issue is a bunch of people there on the inside to the good guys and they know the real story what's going on and it's all about in the deep state and so now we are back to donald trump was picked by military leaders to run for president as a way to kind of bring down the deep state it's still on the f.b.i.'s list of domestic terror threats but as of late it's been entering into the mainstream even made an appearance on america's most watched television network q. can do some crazy stuff with the pizza stuff and the way for stuff but they've also uncovered a lot of great stuff when it comes to epstein and it comes with
4:14 am
a deep state 2020 has been a year like no other and one big events happen people look for explanations so it should come as little surprise that politicians are looking to capitalize on that sentiment around 70 former and current congressional candidates have already given their public approval would you consider yourself a follower of you and on what does that mean. well i think what we need to recognize and actually most people do know a lot about it is that there is a deep state that exists it's not clear whether these people really believe in killing on or they're just trying to win some political points but whatever the case queuing on has some seriously high profile supporters and the media is raising the alarm over it but for many q. a non's rise in popularity is the result of that media went on is this just in a mall the mace you know all of the greatest conspiracy theories thrown into one big believe i've only been actively posting it say for the past couple of months but the response that gotten is insane constantly focusing airtime on attacking the
4:15 am
president could very well have pushed trump supporters to more radical ideas a ministration defined by ignorance of the world so that's partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience you know the credulous boomer rube demo that backs total trolled combine that with the violence many people are facing in the us and you have yourself a very alley and hating situation if you have a group of people who say that there are insidious forces working against in them to keep the word of trump from being disseminated and their band yes that fuel that that shows them your rate when you are being overwhelmed right now by everything that is so not just left wing but radically left wing the only response that people can have the only rational response that many many people can add to that is
4:16 am
a pendulum swing to the right which might be which might lead to a some case an over exuberant. too robust embrace of war law and order and rules and regulations in policing and that may be fine for some people but the point must be made that you are going to be. encouraging people and recruiting more americans and more voters to take on positions that a few years ago they might not positions that many many people today would be considering right wing or even ultra right or fringe right whatever that means. he's a video showing up to talk threatens the u.s. with legal action to donald trump ordered firms to stop doing business with its war on that other stories after the break.

join me every 1st week on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. talk about school children are told on like sticks and stones words will never hurt them but a 9 year old girl in germany has been punished by her teachers for speaking her native to the playground the parents are now planning to sue the school our correspondent peta all of this story there's a row brewing in southwest germany over the languages spoken in school it's after a 9 year old girl was given this punishment to say to right to speak turkish the children speak german school in germany the official language is german you want us to speak german the schools are german if we speak turkish the children won't
4:19 am
understand us we're not allowed to speak our mother tongue so we can speak german that's all i know the. a local school authority told r.t. that the german only policy is in place so that everyone students and teachers all speak a common language 43 percent of children are from migrant backgrounds so it's important for everyone to speak the same language so the school can fulfill its educational mission the rule we all speak german is also part of the class rules a school which drawn up trying to buy all pupils and explain to parents evenings it was agreed that in the event of a violation of this rule an essay on the topic why we speak german at school must be written that's not good enough for the family or their lawyer he says that this rule targets the turkish language in particular it was students here in the. the school break this talking for example through in english or who in french of
4:20 am
whom chinese or through let in i cannot believe that teacher would say oh this is poor women. don't do this i think every teacher would say and show this person as an example or good teaching the family or want to know if there was an under treatment or charm you cannot forbid to talk in your mother tongue you know and this of course affects all your personality or your identity and also this. human rights of german constitutional law there was not such a general rule to talk only in german language in the school building and also this issue which happen was. one by one situation between 2 students were to issue a region and in such
4:21 am
a situation i named it was not lawful to give. and they think jim like this school and also the government was the president of this until now they're not replying our a p u n or a leftist and hoofy the next logical step if they don't. response to all those. groups who the legal action underlying this situation leaves everything in a very messy place stuck between the german schools insistence on being spoken and respect for the languages of the many different groups that make up germany peter all of royalty early. chinese video showing up to talks is shocked at recent u.s. sanctions and is considering going to court most of the donald trump issued to executive orders burning all transactions with the owners of to talk from next
4:22 am
month early the president threatened to burn to talks u.s. operation unless it was sold to an american company because boom bust looks into the conflict by banning. major company consequences for companies u.s. companies especially apple even though apple is not owned by ten's and but apple will be the most affected because if we is removed from the apple app store no chinese citizen will be buy another apple i phone because we care is integral to everyday lives of virtually everybody in china and ironically as apple's sales decline the biggest winner and biggest benefactor would actually be while away the chinese saying they want to be fair if so 1 goody goody let's be fair they can open up their market to c.n.n. b.b.c. washington post new york times wall street journal and i could go on they're not they don't allow us to use skype and they don't allow google search so let's go back and say you want to be fair this is how we can be fair and christy made
4:23 am
a very good point about the fact that the irony of it is actually while weigh them will become stronger in china but the thing is it's the chinese also that are scared the chinese are so scared that's why they ban even facebook on top of all the things i mentioned so what's important here so look at fairness the chinese have never been fair that's not my personal opinion that's just the simple fact they can open up their markets and open up ours i think trump is one of the 1st presidents to actually say wait a 2nd. we're not going to do this here if we can't do that there that's what he's been saying whether it's the e.u. or whether it's china let's be fair open up china and let's have a different discussion but they're not going to do that this ban is coming from the same place as the bear on our way to place a fear that the u.s. is no longer the global dominant tech innovator of the world the u.s. has led tech innovation for the last couple of decades but recently ever since the rise of power and the rise of 5 g. that threaten the u.s. its dominance on communications with the rise of tech talk that there in the u.s. is dominance and social media and eroded on its employees and finally we chat that
4:24 am
there and the u.s. is dominant in the area of digital payments and then tech so everybody knows that the future attack and whoever dominates tech will be the next superpower. and you know in the passenger disaster we didn't deal officials confirm the teen people had been killed after the plane skidded off the runway as it tried to london the southern state of corolla 127 others were injured when the dead are both pilots the express jet was returning from dubai carrying 190 passengers home after they were left stranded overseas by the coronavirus pandemic the boeing 737 broke into 2 pieces after leaving the runway at high speed fishel suspect the tragedy was caused by heavy rain and poor visibility for a full investigation is yet to be carried out in this problem minister narendra modi has said his condolences to the families of the victims. amid the

in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a made in the shallowness. i am x.-prize or this is the kaiser report summer 2 solution starts right where we come up with solutions to all the problems they cover on the other shows right there anyway today we've got a gold to the moon edition with a special guest mark malloch of incremental stating there is no bigger solution needed then to the exorbitant privilege that has been the us dollar in the past 50
4:29 am
years all the trade imbalances all the trade deficits that are required by the united states and the mass unemployment that is the result of that us dollar policy so we're talking to mark malloch about this and mark i want to ask you gold has gone supernova again and it's one of the best performing assets of 2020 so far how high does this go and is the price of gold an indictment of the front cover of the economist magazine free money. yeah well the real question probably is not how high is gold going but holo it's the dollar and all of the fear currency is falling and that's i think what we're seeing is that this this this fall has been accelerating recently as you said and. to the moon i think i've got a nice comparison for you here i mean we've saw this billions and actually
4:30 am
trillions of money printing recently in the small calculation so the feds expended the balance sheet by 3 trillion within a very short time recently so what is 3 trillion $1.03 trillion dollars if you make a staple of $1.00 coin this is a mind boggling staple of $33000700.00. 1000 miles and this is actually. 20 light seconds high so this is actually several times the distance to the moon and this was just created out of nothing within a few weeks and that's i think the real problem which we are facing and and people are waking up to this problem and i think that's a very interesting time when the great analogy there with the staples and all the stuff it's amazing when you put these graphics and you look at them how really incredible trillions and trillions of dollars.
