i think it. wants congress to amend the relief package bill negotiated for months by lawmakers he says the amount of cash expected to be under 2 americans in need is to small. congress found plenty of money from foreign drug these lobbyists and special interests while sending the bare minimum to the american people. french government banks a bill to introduce a so-called green passport hunter which restrictions would be placed on people not vaccinated against the law. this was coalition government falls out of the knesset
3:01 am
fence to secure a new budget in time because the country is headed for a 4th general election in under 2 minutes. either thanks for joining us this morning this is our. congress to make changes to the much over $900000000000.00 relief bill he's called it a disgrace for not putting the american people's interests 1st and for including more than a few pandemic related provisions us president wants individual payments to be increased from $600.00 to $2000.00. congress found plenty of money for far john trees lobbyists and special inches while sending the bare minimum to the american people who need it it wasn't their fault i am asking congress to amend this bill
3:02 am
and increase the ridiculous lilo $600.00 to $2000.00 or $4000.00 for a couple more house speaker nancy pelosi was quick to react she blamed republicans for not providing information on what the president himself expected to be written down in the package she said the democrats already discussed the matter just as soon as lawmakers gather again this week there are other things in the bill that trump is unhappy about though they have nothing to do with the pandemic for example new holes where you think rules there's even a section about the dalai lama succession you know going president assad not to sign it if a member might want to me to pout takes a closer look at the bill hollow it the warring sides in congress have finally set aside some of their differences and agreed to dish out $900000000000.00 in covert 19 relief for families and businesses but the 6 $100.00 stimulus checks which are half of what people got back in april have left many underwhelmed one time team in
3:03 am
$600.00. this isn't joe and jobless no health insurance this isn't going to cut it congress listening some senators even took offense at people questioning their life saving bill always real help. it's a trillion dollars for god's sakes what is that $1000000.00 and. there is no money fairy we don't have this money we don't have 5 percent of it sandra we had to borrow it is real help will it be enough i think it will be but we're just going to have to wait and see but the covert relief package didn't come alone the absence of the money fairy didn't stop congress from slapping on a $1.00 trillion dollar spending bill which combined with the covert bill made the overall document over 5 and a half 1000 pages long the behemoths took so long to upload to the internet that congressmen only received it on the day of the vote and it's kind of hard to
3:04 am
believe they managed to read the whole thing before passing it. 4 congressional leaders refused to put any legislation on the floor to be considered and scrutinized and amended now the release of $5593.00 page bill with no opportunity to read it let alone amend it no responsible legislators should vote for such a thing this is going to goes over 3 hours just to prove that it is. impossible. you need one now to be open for you to read between now and the time and we will if you take a closer look at the bill you can see there's a lot more than covert relief in there military spending for example was more of a talking point than the pandemic and words like missile aircrafts and munition appeared far more times than anything related to health care masks weren't even mentioned once in the document foreign aid also proved to be a high priority billions of dollars are said to be poured into countries like ukraine israel and cambodia funds that could have been spent on domestic needs and
3:05 am
then there's a whole bunch of other issues that were deemed very crucial like ensuring the integrity and fairness of the election sorry horse racing how could that sport survive without money from the government also investing in general programs is something the u.s. just can't do without be it programs in pakistan or commissions on determining gender equality in statues and even the dialogue reincarnation gets mentioned in the bill because in case you forgot he can't get reincarnated without u.s. taxpayer dollars this jumbled mess of spending proposals caused even some senators to trash the bill. tonight i voted no against the suppose that covert relief bill because it sells out billions of dollars to foreign governments the sudan gypsum military and not more important than american citizens and while trump is expected to sign the document later this week many are already calling on him to veto the
3:06 am
bill don't trump you must veto of this farce relieve bill this isn't a stimulus package this is a message for and. every american left and right should be calling for a veto on the stimulus deal which provides more funding to foreign governments and term merican arts centers than to their merican people covert relief might be badly needed but while 600 bucks why do some good for americans in a tough spot senators are obviously willing to put a lot more money behind their own agendas if you look where the expenditures went look we know what this is this is nothing but a con it's a ruse it's a chance to to provide special interest and special issues the money that normally wouldn't be able to be earmarked this is guaranteed to provide monies that would normally not be able to be available but now they are which is a christmas tree the idea is that you take something you slap on benefits and
3:07 am
expenditures and bills but america needs something so we hold the american public hostage in the meantime they get a pittance of what it would normally gotten before but maybe rather than giving all this money for covert relief why don't we just remove the lockdowns wonder we remove the dish shackles because businesses are under these more draconian measures why don't you do that instead as just give money here's your 600 bucks maybe 1200 bucks now leave me alone be happy and shut up. u.s. lawmakers being offered early access to the covert vaccine many though are torn between having it to instill public confidence in the job and putting frontline more workers firsts and the split doesn't seem to follow party lines.
3:08 am
3:09 am
if we don't give all politicians the facts and 1st they won't be able to watch his diet and it's that only source of joy i know that politicians getting the vaccine is supposed to instill confidence in it but right now what i need most is confidence it will be available to the rest of us hold on how did i only just find out politicians in the us got frank scenes the full from design bookers. we need to distinguish 2 different things and a handful of leaders are prime minister or president leading members of the senate of the senate you know the public the little political figures and celebrities get the vaccine to show the public that it's safe and that is necessary that's one thing it's another thing to say that in general politicians just simply be prioritised because they have political power being politicians these are 2 separate matters they can't be conflated any human. in principle for who gets the vaccine 1st should be those who are most vulnerable and that especially is frontline workers essential workers the elderly and the infirm so it's true that
3:10 am
probably it some some politicians might be in for some publications might be front line workers but they're not there's no reason why publishers politicians should be pushed to the top of the list simply because they were persistent. the french government has banked a bill that would impose movement restrictions on people who have not being vaccinated or who can't prove that they had free will to correspondent paula slayer explains france's preparing to end its health emergency by april the 1st so says the french prime minister john kass takes he's presented a vote in the national assembly ended establishing a so-called long term health emergency management of a sheep simply to it is vaccination and those opposed to it might just find themselves in trouble even if they just planning a trip around the city. the prime minister may under the plan measures make the movement of people and their access to transport subject to presenting test results
3:11 am
showing that the person is not infected following vaccination or remedial treatment to some politicians the measure will leave underestimated people feeling as though they 2nd class citizens if this bill has really been tabled it must be forged by all elected officials and citizens committed to democracy and freedom in the face of this senseless deviation it is up to us to bring the government back to a semblance of reason this is the bill establishing a long term health emergency management regime which has just been introduced by caste x. read the following in this law the prime minister can make you a 2nd class citizen if you refuse the vaccine we must wake up it flies in the face of a promise made by french president emmanuel quantities government they should skeptics their feet and covered vaccination which begins on sunday would be purely voluntary is a whois and i want to be clear i will not make the vaccination mandatory. but
3:12 am
the idea of restricting so to freedoms for vaccinated people has been mentioned several times in public debate since this presidential announcement for example a member of the union of democrats and independent party valerie 6 has proposed the issuing of green possibles to people who have been immunized 2.0 with the public we could take the example of israel which grants get vaccinated person a green passport allowing them to get only specific culture and to rest and to get me back to where i'm living at home and the french inoculation program will target the most vulnerable members of society 1st such as the elderly and only after a medical examination and come since has given it's a great start but it's what comes next that has people here while you'd policia r t paris. earlier we spoke to a member of the french national front to believe that the government has taken this a step too far. you know emanuel micron the prime minister and the health minister
3:13 am
a living able round it promised us there would be no compulsory vaccination they would leave the freedom to choose to the french in fact thanks in particular to marie le pen we see that the draft law speaks of a measure completely veiled aimed at limiting subjecting the french people that certain rules in their public lives thereby deciding for them whether they will be vaccinated or not i think that it is shameful in fact it is a restriction of freedom which moreover contradicts the constitution this is a manifestation of dictatorship it seems to me that the government does not understand that today the patience of the french has run out they agreed to strict discipline for many months they said yes to the introduction of quarantine said yes to the imposition of a curfew said yes to the imposition of sanitary rules they agreed to everything that was imposed on them the next day the government came up with nothing better
3:14 am
than to further could tail their personal freedom this is called segregation if the government wants the french to get vaccinated they must restore an atmosphere of trust that's the voice of wisdom. elsewhere in europe a voluntary mass vaccination against kirby 19 will begin in spades on sunday but the spanish health ministry said the record will be kept of anyone refusing to be vaccinated it is considered important to record cases of rejection of the vaccination in the vaccination registry in order to understand the possible reasons for a locked in sin different population groups according to the latest polls just over 40 percent of spaniards are ready to have the vaccine 60 percent said they would be willing to get inoculated if it proves to be effective almost one 3rd they refuse to get the job altogether. you know where i'm going to bed i'm not going to get vaccinated adults are boarding up for you i don't want to be registered anywhere
3:15 am
neither the government the city council or anyone else has to know what i do support your book i believe it why lates our privacy and they should not interfere at the moment i know i'm not going to vaccinate. it doesn't seem right or wrong to me i think people should get vaccinated but without forcing anyone everyone should do as they choose or i mean i just i don't want to be around their computer or be vaccinated it seems wrong to me i don't want any government to have to tell me whether or not i must be vaccinated because it's my decision. so they come the south or you can friends have reached an agreement on reopening borders football is much to the relief of the stranded drivers we'll have more on this.
3:16 am
is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a made in the shallowness. a lot of questions what does it mean to be. conservative big is coming from the conservative and the change which means to be conservative what about the issue of constant mind going to take for conservatives to win.
3:17 am
welcome back france and britain will start to reopen their borders to lorry drivers this wednesday providing of course they test negative for covert testing science will be set up to clear a backlog of almost $3000.00 lorries been trying to cross into the continent the move comes as a relief to truckers who have been stuck for days. with christmas coming up we really want to travel back to our children our families we're stuck here we don't have any information like when our water will run out food will also run out of some points it's not an easy situation for us i've been here for 2 days and don't know what's happening i know what car catch the train so here i am.
3:18 am
some air is low the drivers honk their horns to vent their frustration u.k.'s transport secretary says despite progress in providing enough tests for drivers at the border the backlog may take 2 or 3 days to clear. it's not all doom and gloom the u.k. retailers have played down fears of food shortages over christmas because of the disruption we got reaction from guests in the k. you also think that christmas dinner will still be on the menu. well some fresh produce does come true u.k. i mean i gather there's no shortage of carrots you know. maybe a regular supply i don't think we'll see energy shelves i'm maybe proven wrong but i think the supermarkets are requiring well ahead of this. and i think we might see some trends you might not be able to get your lemons and your. or your broccoli but you will be able to get most of the routes but it's not exactly whatever so we
3:19 am
might see some going around but i don't see shops going i mean it's a kind of reflective child with you. you know this time. many people are going to be reflecting in a solitary state and that won't help them to sort of you know look on the bright side of things so well as perhaps normally they weren't so again you know the sort of threat to certain sectors cities and well being it's really quite a concert if we want to reverse it and imagine what the french announce but. now it may go to a matter of variation of oh yes there were some more transmissible we might make similar action possibly not so robust but we know i'm sure the government would cite something that actually. israeli government has collapsed after months of parliamentary wrangling failed to secure a new budget knesset was dissolved at midnight on tuesday means the country will
3:20 am
now go to the polls for the 4th time in less than 2 years and discuss the implications of an antihistamine quarter. really seems like tuesday's budget roadblock was the last straw for israel's 7 month long ruling government coalition now benjamin netanyahu party and benny gantz is blue and white party or both blaming one another for the impasse and with these new elections scheduled for march i think we could possibly be seeing the end to 11 years of the premiership of benjamin netanyahu but netanyahu doesn't seem very worried. when i'm not afraid of elections we are prepared for that we will win the public and israel knows who's bringing in $1000000.00 axioms for peace agreement looking and he's bringing security and who will restore the economy rate him because well his ratings are actually at an all time low but he still projected to do better than dance in these new snap elections but he polls are actually saying these not projected to win
3:21 am
a majority like in these previous instances i mean after all his political career has been followed by a corruption case which he's denied any wrongdoing in and and also people aren't very happy in israel about the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic we've seen protests gripped the country for the past 6 months and they're not really showing any sign of letting out. of this with. israeli politics have been deadlocked for a long time now a lot of people are saying that another election isn't going to fix the situation it's just going to lead to a 5th election down the road but a lot can happen in the in several months of course we'll bring our viewers the

latest details as they become available. u.s. president elect joe biden is vying to respond to the recent cyber attack on u.s. government agencies which he's strongly suggesting was carried out by russia and he says was due to the bank's leadership i don't trump. initial indications including from secretary pump a 0 secretary of state attorney general william barr suggest that russia russia is responsible for this breach this assault happened on donald trump's watch when he wasn't watching. it's still his responsibility as president to to defend american interests for the next 4 weeks. but rest assured that even if he does not take it seriously i will joe biden used his speech for the holidays to americans as president elect to blame donald trump for much of what is wrong in the country and not surprisingly once again russia seems to be the scapegoat as the
3:23 am
united states transitions from one presidential administration to another now joe biden essentially argued that russia was responsible for an alleged hack in which a number of federal agencies in the united states as well as u.s. companies had their data compromised and he said that donald trump had been responsible for weakening u.s. cyber security and that he would reverse those policies and he also promised there would be a response to russia's activity we don't sit here and say we're going to strike you with a nuclear weapon. so let us to term with the extent of the damage use and i promise you nobody responds now joe biden seems to be taking some speculations as fact no proof has ever been presented that russia is responsible for this and we've already heard from prime one spokesman dmitri pascoe who said that russia was not involved and that the country is not involved in any such
3:24 am
attacks generally now furthermore it's interesting to note donald trump said that it could be china who was responsible for the attack and that blame always seems to be the priority in response to instances like this the cyber attack is far greater in the fake news media than in actuality i have been fully briefed and everything is well under control russia russia russia is the priority chance when anything happens because lame she media is for mostly financial reasons petrified of discussing the possibility that it may be shina it may earlier biden's pick for secretary of energy said that biden's team really has no idea who is behind the attack we don't know fully. what happened the extent of it and frankly we don't know fully 1st sure who did it but it seems these other voices are not being heard as members of both the democratic and republican camps in the united states are rushing to blame russia once again as the united states faces
3:25 am
a transition of power from wanted ministration in the white house to another fears of russia are being asked a later. leading u.s. libertarian party campaign that was benedict please and joe budden needs to readjust his rhetoric to me that sounds like he's still in campaign mode he needs to be in presidential mode i can imagine donald trump is hard to work with but we need an adult in the room and we need for president elect biden to prepare to lead our country and to work towards peace with other nations not trying to score more political points at the expense of poor foreign relations a lot of us here in america and russia we grew up thinking nuclear war was inevitable we thought not only would it happen but both sides would lose and probably the whole world would suffer and many people would die we should be thanking god every day that there never was a nuclear war worldwide and instead of trying to rekindle the cold war and
3:26 am
create animosity between science we should be trying to work together so i don't know for sure what president elect biden has in mind he could be stuck in the cold war mentality and needs to be pulled out of that that's what i hope some of his newer advisors will do if he has to be such. a bridge about it today don't forget to check out most lawyers by heading to a web site auntie dot com. join me every thursday on the all excitement show and i'll be speaking to give us the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. a lot of questions what does it mean to be a conservative it is coming from the conservative and the change which means to be
3:27 am
a conservative what about the issue comes to mind does it take for conservatives to . show small seemed wrong all roles just don't call. me old yet to shape out these days to come out ahead and in the game from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. americans love. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood
3:28 am
the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. of the really interesting back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is and for . i. this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss friendship or in washington coming up economic data out of the united states and united kingdom is showing signs of recovery but how with the
