completely obliterate the infection remains to be seen. and british m.p.'s are shocked after parliament leader jacob comes out against unicef eating or u.k. children for the 1st time in history. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teach q. in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. authorities in the u.s. have said they're now investigating 5 adverse responses to the pfizer coated maxime including 3 alaskan health workers officials admit though that they don't know the exact cause. i think we'll be looking at all of the data we can from each of these reactions to sort out exactly what happened and we'll also be looking to try to understand which component of the back the might be helping to produce.
7:02 am
that worrying news came just hours after a 2nd vaccine by not was approved by the f.d.a. in all vice president mike pence got the pfizer shot live on t.v. along with his wife plans added that american vaccines are safe and effective. karen and i read more than happy to step forward before this week was. to take the safe and effective coronavirus vaccine that we have secured produced for the american people let's go through the confirmed cases of allergic reactions to the pfizer vaccine a 3rd health care worker in alaska was hospitalized after getting the shot to others had anniversary spawns with one actually taken into intensive care in all 2 britons registered to adverse reactions to the pfizer shot and the country's health officials have warned against vaccinating people with a history of severe allergies there is also controversy that americans cannot sue
7:03 am
pfizer or derna and february authority has brought in the public readiness an emergency preparedness or prep act it provides immunity for all vaccine makers for 4 years attorney explain why even if americans fall sick they may never get compensation if they are sick and they miss a couple of days of work and they don't feel good for 3 or 4 weeks they're going to get 0 compensation under the american legal system typically and individual injured by a product or service can sue and you can have a class action where literally tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people can sue the government when they implemented this war speed. to have a vaccine developed much faster than normal the companies weren't willing to do that for fear that they might get sued so the government said we will protect you companies so you can't be sued. you know all in brazil
7:04 am
a bizarre case of verbal gymnastics is emerging a very serious issue locals are debating the difference between the words compulsory obligatory and mandatory as the supreme court or says a covey vaccine on everyone or does it on that later in the program. the top u.s. physician and consultant to baxi manufacturer spoke to our channel about the state of kobe back since philip larkin told us whether the shots can stop the pandemic or not. many people have fear of vaccines and this is true throughout the world and yet when one really looks at the record vaccines in general have been quite safe now the thing that one has to understand is risk if the risk of the disease
7:05 am
as it is for ringback covert 19 let's say is 20 percent that's 2 in every 10 people right. and the risk of reactions to vaccines that i'm familiar with is about one in a 1000000 so if you compare the risks if you're intelligent you would take the vaccine. what we don't know for any of the vaccines thus far is whether they will consistently prevent infection which is important because if they do that will prevent the virus from spreading if they don't then we have a situation where vaccination vaccinated people will be protected but unvaccinated people will not be protected so we have
7:06 am
a lot to learn about the vaccines. both the gamel a vaccine and the astra zeneca vaccine are based on a virus called addinall virus in the astra zeneca people probably feel that that they could. improve the response by using not one ad no virus but 2 and that was the good idea of the gamel a a vaccine to use one that had no wires since a prime and another ad no irises a boost and that seems to work better. they will be collected certainly through in the next year now if you're talking about safety city examination of safety is really that can be done in the end a month or 2 after vaccination or as if you're talking about efficacy then you in
7:07 am
the long observations that the term and how effective a vaccine is and over what period of time that's another issue that we don't have any information on i will not have any information for many months. well i'm not pessimistic about. attacks against at least reducing the infection whether they. completely obliterate the infection remains to be seen. scrooge that's how a british m.p. is a blasted parliament leader jacob reece mog for opposing unicef feeding poor families in the u.k. for the 1st time of the ruling conservative party had claimed unicef's food relief was just a publicity stunt the real scandal that unicef should be playing politics in this
7:08 am
way when it is meant to be looking after people in the poorest the most deprived countries in the world where people are starving whether from ins or whether civil wars and they make cheap political points of this kind giving i think 25000 pounds to one council it is a political stunt in parliament i just challenge jay caprice malk about unicef having to feed working class kids in the u.k. it's shameful for kids to go hungry it's not shameful to feed them the only person who should be ashamed is you mr rees mark you know stuff recently launched a wide ranging program aimed at tackling food insecurity it will be granting over $700000.00 pounds to community groups all over the u.k. organization is also helping feed children in the south of london giving out food parcels and assuring breakfasts as are distributed to schools there now the campaign has put a spotlight on food poverty in the u.k. considered one of the wealthiest countries in the world according to unicef an
7:09 am
estimated 2400000 children live in so-called food insecure homes free school meals programs have seen huge numbers of family sign up and unicef has defended its decision to provide humanitarian help. unicef u.k.'s responding to the some precedented crisis and building on our 25 years experience are working on children's rights in the u.k. with a one off domestic response launched a notice to provide support to vulnerable children and families around the country during this crisis period earlier we spoke with the founder of britain's largest independent food bank says the government's handling of the poverty crisis has been unacceptable. i think the reality is the government's own figures show that in britain 4.5 children get 1000000 children get free school meals and before the pandemic the government's own figures confirm that 12000000 people in britain a word in poverty i think what unicef of dawn has of course given some money to
7:10 am
people in britain and britain is one of the great generous countries in the world for giving money so it's only just right that when our people are in crisis that unicef gives us some cash by the scandal is we have a government that keeps pushing for change around the real crisis or brush it i'm not sure if dean 1000 people 15000000 people in the 1st 6 richest economy on the planet going hungry and that is not acceptable we should be leading a global campaign to end poverty not pussyfooting around it we're now feeding so many people we can hardly cope it's not something that we can just to get people safe and stop people dying letting people go hungry is not a priority and so we as people and we as communities need to take back power and politicize it in a way but we can eradicate the problems. you know as president i like joe biden's promise to unite the country as its next later but his words don't
7:11 am
always match his party's actions as everyone from his campaign manager to the incoming deputy chief of staff told the vice of insult republicans are to scale modern reports. putting the star in stars and stripes joe biden the great healer of america is on a winning streak and he will not stop until these states are united i pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. who doesn't see the red states and blue states only sees the united states but there might be a small problem not everyone in the democratic camp is so keen on the healing process i'm not saying they're not a bunch of mitch mcconnell is terrible not exactly a white flag coming from the new administration and she's not alone many democrats are not very keen on smoothing things over with trump supporters people who stood by donald trump for the last 4 years and now claiming to be offended at the time
7:12 am
democratic campaign manager used to curse word i don't think so so if the side of washington that's winning is already talking trash what about the other ones still sore from losing a 2nd term biden talks about unity and healing but you want to know what they really think read how the person he wants is the next white house deputy chief of staff called republicans in congress a bunch of. but in campaign manager called us you can try to walk back but this is volumes about him boss who calls for unity while shouting that we are assaulting democracy they think we're a deplorable irredeemable sick getting over these ill feelings post-election will be no easy feat the hatred has been there for a long time and some of them are as she said deplorable to just be grossly generalistic you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable zx their race is sex is homophobe big xenophobe. as long.
7:13 am
and unfortunately there are people like that. and he has lifted them up this has been tried before the whole unity montra at least while the cameras are rolling well i will be a president for democrats republicans independents for the struggling the striving the successful for all those who vote for me and for those who doubt or are was there i can still have her to go that's what the country needs. a sense of unity a sense of inclusion a respect for our institutions our way of life. rule of law. and respect for each other so we've got a new administration full of familiar faces we've got
7:14 am
a brand new president who used to be the vice and at this point we've got a new post to trump america with many things remaining the same and they probably won't be fixed what's been going on for the last 8 years right well america has been in the domestic abuse situation you have one side of the political already that has spent more years gaslighting line abusing manipulating. pretty minor wounds looting berty impeaching and coming up with every faith new story that ended everything they cared to turn the population against this president doing everything they can to divide this country and now it somehow managed to it appears in seoul joe biden is president because for unity or not only the leery of this but also extremely cynical i can assure you there's going to be no unity in this country in fact i've heard many people on the right saying that they're quite excited for the next 4 years to do everything the luxe been doing to them over the last couple years but 3 full now that's an issue because those republicans who
7:15 am
would be willing to work with the other side are going to win many friends in the electorate and they're not going to be very popular. legal and language experts are scratching their heads after brazil supreme court appeared to force kovacs nation on everyone in the country but with even the supreme court justice struggling to clarify the difference between obligatory mandatory and compulsory and the president coming out against confusion is rife. every brazilian will have the obligation to be vaccinated which just not mean they can be forced to take the vaccine compulsory does not mean that compulsory means that any noncompliance will lead to a penalty if you build a bridge under the law was still good he said nancy if you don't want to be treated you have the right not to be treated if i decide for example not to do chemotherapy and to die it's my problem and we in the federal government have already made clear that the vaccine will be offered to everyone but those who do not want to take it
7:16 am
don't have to. the country is suffering a spike in coping cases result the 2nd worst hit country in the world behind the us reporting more than 800 deaths from the virus on friday alone we asked resilience what they thought about the supreme court decision i agree with the nation been mandatory because brazilians are not aware of how dangerous the virus is how people going to leave with others without being vaccinated i don't agree with making it mandatory because everyone has to make their own decision about taking the vaccine or not. i agree with the penalties because for the good of all humanity to be able to go out and be a tease on the street i agree with the qubit vaccine being mandatory for the good of the whole world. i believe there has to be a middle way that everyone understands the importance of the vaccine and how it can help us but with the nazi being mandatory i believe taking the vaccine shouldn't be mandatory although i also understand that in case the person doesn't take the
7:17 am
vaccine it could be difficult for them because it could put other people's lives at risk. still had as the price of cryptocurrency bitcoin hits record highs our teens business group max keiser tells us what it means for the future of the economy as he sees it details on that story and more after this break. because there is this huge gusher of money printing bedsteads coming out of the central banks and because tesla has nothing worked against it because it's not. producing anything like taiyo or a ford or some other company where you could look at the actual products in a meaningful context of the global economy in ascribe
7:18 am
a value to it you can simply say that well we think that tesla as a. boy just mostly i mean. money isn't me so we're going to make it worth $600000000000.00 today and it could be worth it could drop 90 percent tomorrow. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back joe biden's again been forced to explain after federal prosecutors
7:19 am
launched a criminal probe into his son hunter's tax affairs and the interview together with his wife the u.s. president elect brown and all charges foul play we have great confidence in our son . i'm not concerned about the accusations made against him i think it's kind of solid play but the claims are just part of wider accusations including corruption allegations over hunter's ukraine dealings and leaked e-mails from a laptop reported to be his. explains why this will remain a headache for the president elect. we none of us are clean let's be honest we've all done things we're ashamed of have secrets that we wouldn't want anyone to know sometimes they come to light especially if you're a politician nixon and watergate clinton lewinsky would joe budden and his boy his son hunter biden is now under a federal criminal investigation like a vine is selling influence over c.
7:20 am
hunter biden made millions of dollars in ukraine highlighting the corruption of joe and hunter biden quite the character. his scandal ridden chairmanship of a ukrainian energy company a tax investigation under way suspicion of money laundering sex scandals and even a pawn shop and for hard drugs crack cocaine you may know all of this or you may be hearing it for the 1st stop depending on what you watch and who you read because proof democrat networks didn't think all of this is a newsworthy issue and neither does daddy president elect biden is deeply proud of his son who has fought through difficult challenges and grit the vicious personal attacks of recent months only to emerge stronger personal attacks he says the justice department investigating biden's taxes might disagree or how's this for a personal attack biden jr allegedly using daddy's name to secure 10000000 dollars
7:21 am
from the chinese i hope my letter finds you well i regret missing you on your last visit to the united states please accept the best wishes from the entire biden family as well as my partners the biden family is now reportedly under 3 federal investigations with the f.b.i. involved and off to 4 years of russia gate shenanigans i would say republicans probably want a little bit a back a little hunter gate if you will. on top 3 federal investigations are going to take a lot of confidence let's just hope that daddy can have all the pressure because if he thought that he would escape the gauntlet that they put trump through well he was wrong the importance of the thing isn't that hunter has bad information about him it's that the mainstream media prevented the public from milling about it until
7:22 am
after the election and what's done is done the mainstream media isn't judging stories by their newsworthiness they're judging them by whether they will help or hurt democrat nominees and candidates and particularly in a presidential election the mainstream media has been trying for 4 years to make donald trump go away and i think this time according to the results of the election they finally succeeded they couldn't do it with the russia hoax they couldn't do it with impeachment but finally they got donald trump kicked out of office so they believe by getting joe biden elected in the way to elect joe biden was to protect him by not letting the public know things about him and his family that could be damaging to his election chances it's really not complicated. yemen's devastating war has been raging for 6 years with the u.n. warning of a humanitarian catastrophe and the threat of famine the world food program spokesperson called food insecurity there
7:23 am
a ticking time bomb and urged the world to act immediately 2000000 yemeni children are already suffering only tristian and need urgent medical treatment according to humanitarian reports the conflict has also left nearly 4000000 people displaced and desperate families are even forced to hide out in the mountains. you know we moved here and even had our wedding ceremony where we did not have a place to live or anything else we need help.
7:24 am
when i'm 97 for many transport and we have children we are cold and hungry and the altie so far from this area. as you see our situation is difficult we need help we need housing food and blankets we are in danger inside this case. the price of cryptocurrency bitcoin has had a record high of $23000.00 the price is up 30 percent just in the last month and up more than 200 percent this year that coins are protection as digital gold has grown with several high profile investors naming it as an emerging inflation hedge financial expert and our t. host max kaiser told us why he thinks it's
7:25 am
a stable best spent. big coin is it was going to go to $400000.00 of going regardless of what what the situation is with the pandemic or regardless of what the situation is between nation states because it will trade similar to a market capitalization of gold the party is caused by paper money and big coin solves the problem of poverty how does big going to the problem it capitalizes the banks capitalized the central banks it puts them out of business because everybody has their own bank no paper money has ever survived ever in history over the past 300 years every single form of paper money as either gone completely bankrupt or lost 99 percent of its value not have ever work it's impossible to work paper money it's a it's a faulty idea so we only have really goal but in the 21st century bitcoin is better
7:26 am
than goal so big coin is actually pushing gold off the world stage people are buying big going not goal because it's superior to gold and that's the inflection point that we're on in the 21st century we're at we're witnessing a remarkable transformation of the global economy right now this year it's incredible. that's all for this hour news wise but if you're looking for more how to number 2 our web site r t v dot com for countless articles and interviews and continue. as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the leave of absence and the reality of the we're not financially quality and the
7:27 am
lack of. fordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice. that's been a problem with the city dollars turn a machete told me stay away almost. 2 sons of god forbid if there is no answer because yes that requires resources the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become invisible comes. max kaiser this is the kaiser report. stacy right well max do you know that on monday we're going to see tesla 4 enter the s. and p. $500.00 which is a remarkable achievement from just even a year ago at this time yeah it's this definitely
7:28 am
a huge story and there's just so many moving parts to it you now and it just a reflection of where we are on the stock market where we are in the business cycle where we are in the there's just so many many layers to it what the particularly about this intrigues you stacey you get a look at a few items but the thing that really stands out to me is you know we've been recording from home during cove it and these global lock downs and economic lockdown and that there actually hasn't been much economic activity and people are getting used to being just paid to stay at home and they're demanding modern monetary theory that m.m.t. free money for everybody and so let me start with a quote from. mosque that bruce fenton tweeted out and it's in the context of today and having to produce stuff the idea you can just send checks out and everything will be ok is wrong people have an idea that the economy is
7:29 am
a magical cornucopia a horn of plenty that resources flow from let me just break it down for the fools if you don't make stuff there is no stuff well this is ironic i guess on a couple of different levels right so the tesla stock is worth the last i checked roughly $600000000000.00. and i would say that $560000000000.00 worth of that valuation is comes from exactly what he's saying is trying to avoid money printing right and if there wasn't the money printing and he would if you were able to get stuff from just money printing the cornucopia of money printing then tesla stock would be 90 percent cheaper but because there is this huge gusher of money printing that's that's coming out of the central banks and because tesla has nothing working against it because it's not producing anything like a toyota or a ford or some other company where you could look at the actual products in
7:30 am
a meaningful context of the global economy and ascribe a value to it you can simply say that well we think that tesla has a meaning which is mostly a mame and in money is a me so we're going to make it worth 600000000000 dollars today and it could be worth it could drop 90 percent tomorrow and it is really there's nothing there it's just they captured the imagination now full disclosure you know i bought some tesla . last year and you know i'm up 800 percent and i'll still hold onto it because i don't have any i don't have any reason to think that the mania driving tousle is it going to end anytime soon. because this is the economy that we're in but his comment is kind of ironic because he says if you want stuff you need to make stuff but if he was actually making stuff the stock would be 90 percent cheap.
