8:04 am
24000 times his record is 200 tweets and retreats in a single day but for the platform violating its rules again it was the last straw our reports. censorship is now under the purview of tech jobs and their billionaire owners who now get to decide bad in the president of the united states and get to decide who talks about what and how they talk about it we are living in all wells 19 eighty-four free speech no longer exists in america it died with big and what's left is only there for a chosen few this is absolute insanity to it it may ban me for this but i'm willing to accept the fate of your decision to permanently ban president trump is a serious mistake the ayatollah's can tweet trump can't says a lot about the people who run twitter silence and people not to mention the
8:05 am
president of the us is what happens in china not our country this was seemingly a coordinated effort across platforms of all cards dischord twitched with the book instagram snapped out they've they've all removed trump and you know this is this is something that many had been calling for for years many on the left especially you know they wanted trump's voice silence they saw it as destructive they sort of even mullard but it had never come to that because this is after all the president of the united states you'd think a certain amount of respect is jew but now that he's gone an awful lot of people are very happy now is the time of a silicon valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior and go even further than they have already by permanently but in this matter from their platforms and put it in policies to prevent their technology from being used by the
8:06 am
nation's leaders to fuel insurrection donald trump spent years demagoguing lying spreading hate and propagating conspiracies and sweeter and the force inciting violence social media companies have allowed this vile content to fester for too long and need to do much more. but banning him is a good start there's no underestimating the impact the significance and symbolism of what happened on capitol hill these tech jobs and their billionaire owners decided to interpret trump's words and tweets as cooling for these these protesters to storm capitol hill he didn't he didn't cool he called for a march and then he condemned what happened this isn't something that can be a race this isn't something that can be forgotten this is a precedent it has now happened this is the united states we're talking about a country which is made a business of expletive. regime change revolution democracy worldwide and
8:07 am
now this is happened in their own country. these censorship is entirely selective it is it is targeting conservatives and republicans and very few others so far but you know if they if they can get away with targeting them what's to stop them from doing for others that they don't like they obviously feel that donald trump towards the end of his presidency that you know there's there's nothing he can fight back with and they're just just letting it out it wasn't the f.b.i.
8:08 am
the cia were tasked with securing america wasn't the pentagon which defends america that decided that donald trump must be removed it was billionaire was ted billionaires who now see it within their power to ban the president of the united states from from from their platform. and i joined live by independent journalist for more on this about facebook and twitter have now permanently banned donald trump is that just a find. well i want to say from the report of your research as journalists historians that record that permanent record of donald trump's tweets is gone right now that's an historical record many presidents are things in secret cables that we take decades to learn about the truck trump was so unusual in saying many things out in the open on twitter and particular on twitter and that's gone right now so that's a real issue the reason the i found that out is because i was trying to find
8:09 am
a tweet from a viewer so ago and we'd friends that you ron would no longer exists i don't know the exact words but i can find the tweets longer available but that was if that wasn't an incitement to violence i mean why did not twitter take any action against that we didn't hear adam schiff or i'm michelle obama complaining not that i sort of when he cited the destruction basically the genocide of iran so of the future presence is what i'm worried about if they threaten countries with war virtually every american president threatens countries at war many of them go to war twitter act in a move back so the issue of whether he incited violence on wednesday you know this is a very gray area area most law 1st amendment polluted is not black and white he made a speech she didn't say directly to go in there and do with the protesters did but in then he case in 1902 in a supreme court decision over the state of mississippi which tried to prosecute and c w e p leaders will inciting violence in their country during the civil rights era the
8:10 am
supreme court needed to set unanimously rejected that saying while the state legitimately impose damages the consequences of not conduct it may not compensate for the consequences of nonviolent protected activity the advocacy use of force for violence does not remove speech from the protection of the 1st amendment so there is legal precedent but of course twitter facebook instagram they are not the government they are allowed to suspend someone there are allowed to quote unquote censor anyone they want to 1st amendment only applies to governments i don't. it is even a legal challenge here i don't need and concern about some apocrypha you hear about along presidents to incite violence on a much. knesset scale he wanted george bush and dick cheney to have twin 2 dogs do what they would have said and lead up to the iraq war and restore how many hundreds of thousands who were killed so it would have selectively here been issued even here is to get my impeaching him if they do that next week they're going to try the
8:11 am
house and there are senate republican to might vote to convict and if they can convict him he could no longer run for office again so that removes in the 2024 by shutting him down on twitter and other social media platforms he can't communicate with his base any more than a lot of republicans will probably agree with that too well exactly as you're saying that he has a huge reliance on twitter and we were just so breaking down the numbers the amount of tweets that he's put out just in the last 4 years how do you expect him to communicate with his base now that he's been banned from twitter. well if he is as bent continues after he's out of office and i believe that it will be for the reasons i just said because they don't want him to communicate with them it's going to be very very difficult he could have meetings he might get t.v. interviews i would think fox news would be the place where he would speak if you have fox as decided to go along with them and continue to with teacher him as a guest at that would be the best way he's also talked about starting his own media channel probably an online digital media channel to challenge fox because he was
8:12 am
unhappy with fox's coverage of the election so that's one way you condone it probably even more now that he lost his twitter platform that he probably going to go down that route and create his own channel so they'll be ways to it is not the only way they can completely shut him up but i think that's the reason why they want to shut him up they want to ban him and they want to get in convicted by the senate after each one so he can't run again but he can still stir people up as he did you know i think he misled a lot of desperate people over the 4 years people who saw him out of the middle class who were angry have established and congress and legitimately so and i think he really led them down the wrong path by promising when it things you could not and war would not deliver so it was a bit of manipulation from spark result interest but there's legitimate anger in the land and i ordered a piece saying that what happened on wednesday at the capitol was a dress rehearsal if congress doesn't get in line and understand its horrors of the average american people not to their rich backers and to the powerful interests who they serve until that happens that anger is going to continue to grow and we may
8:13 am
see see even worse scenes than we saw on wednesday. we can only hope not independent journalist tell laurie i thank you for finding the time to join us on the program today i welcome what i say earlier i spoke with long time republican strategist and trump ally roger stone so was convicted of lying to congress and of witness tampering and 2019 but he was pardoned by trump last year he said the suppression of conservative voices has gone too far. for the 1st time in the history of our country we have the censorship of all mass communications whether it is whether it is broadcast television network television whether it is cable whether it is print media or whether it is the internet there is one overwhelming fraudulent narrative being forced on the american people and that created the atmosphere in which legitimate compelling i would say overwhelming evidence of
8:14 am
voter fraud in cyber manipulation of the vote was dismissed as conspiracy theory people who want to ban and silence others that simply means that they cannot win a fact based debate that they're not interested in honest electoral competition or a battle of ideas they have no ideas other than central control and socialism other than doing away with our constitutional rights and now what we see is an effort to take what happened tragically at the capitol and use it as an excuse to curtail our civil liberties even further this is a dangerous dangerous slope for america you can watch that interview in full on our to america's in the process an online portable. isn't the only victim of the big tech boycott twitter is taking on the accounts of former national security advisor michael cohen x. trump lawyer sydney powell and other high profile supporters of the president and paul both met with trump at the white house in recent weeks as part of efforts to
8:15 am
overturn the presidential election results you tube has joined in and ban trump's former chief strategist steve bannon mexican president or has expressed concerns over the power of social networks to silence and censor whoever they want. what happened a few days ago in the united states is about signing private companies decide whom to silence and censor this does not bode well and restricts freedom which we discuss the issue with julio rivera editorial director of reactionary times dot com and frederick got bindi a professor of political science. there is a feline i mean freedom of speech is guaranteed. invitation to violence that is a completely different thing what they're doing is that they're going ahead and expressing a message to the american people and to a lot of these other silicon valley giant that it's ok to go ahead and send sort of
8:16 am
a speech that you don't agree with and that is contrary to the spirit of the 1st amendment in america and contrary to the spirit of free speech the program with social media is that they have to comply with the french rules for instance in many european countries hate speech hyland speech you know nancy nancy seem bolds those that are dying not from crimes that are advertised on it's own without if you built you're going if you're taking it there and yet i think i'll hear. you one of the one who said that there were nazi symbols with time i didn't the problem is not the election the problem is that trump addressed these people and he did them too much on the capital and this is intimidation of the guy along with peace and police and there's nothing wrong with marching about what was more on that was not that he's going to write about it and then $206.00 i was not a peaceful protest i don't call that preschool process one that you know smashes
8:17 am
windows get inside you know what if if that happened on the new york shots that were fired. that there was the police didn't respond soon enough and strong enough i'm very afraid because i just got the platforms off with you to. the. new year's eve they actually took the reactionary times facebook channel away and i'm afraid if you extrapolate that to a larger sense are they going to suddenly start the platforming stations carry people like rush limbaugh. sean hannity all the major conservative talk boyce's in america are they going to be silent suddenly you know the rules are changing they're changing in real time you have a democratic party which is shown a lot of tendencies which lean towards fascism now have absolute power they have the house they have the senate and they have the white house where does it and the
8:18 am
moment is really tensed and the problem is and i repeat that trump incited to hate and violence he says nothing to do in concert but he does nothing only was a big difference between the way the media treated president barack obama the way they treated president trauma and i think we're already seeing that slant going back towards allow labarre coalesced into what he did or a quote that he that abide look if you say that president trample was treated differently than that obama you have to give me the facts the numbers i did not ask were 9 lives have a laugh i'd rather err they don't want to t.v. in the last 4 years how could you say like they were not treated differently even me. the american flag was flown at half mast over the capitol in washington on friday it was an honor of a policeman who was fatally injured during the storming of the building is the 5th person to have died as a result of the riots and a murder investigation is expected to be opened.

fund the line is struggling to keep the states in line when it comes to vaccines she's warned the nations not to try and do their own deals the only framework we are negotiating in is as $27.00 we do this together and nonmember state on this legal binding basis is allowed to negotiate in parallel or to have a contract and parallel the loudest voice unhappy at brussels being in sole charge of vaccine procurement is coming from hungary with prime minister viktor orban saying the current plan could lead to months more of a lock down if we only rely on western vaccines the restrictions will have to be maintained for several more months if we can find a safe and proven vaccine elsewhere we can speed up the process mr obama's that wants budapest to be able to choose its own deals i don't think we have to wait for the vaccine as part of the union we agreed that we'd wait but the process is going
8:22 am
so slowly that i think it's time to act and get the vaccine ourselves all the vaccines that have been tried in other countries have to be considered so in addition to the west we are also negotiating with the israelis the chinese and the russians the e.u. commission says that their plan will provide enough vaccine to cope but everyone in the e.u. and then some of the whole portfolio covers $2300000000.00 doses of vaccine so this is more than enough to vaccinate the whole european population ever the euro skeptic in the block the hungarian prime minister also pointed to a freshie breaks that in britain the vaccine program there is something to emulate the british instead of letting brussels do its negotiated for themselves and are in a much better position now earlier in the week the e.u. approved the u.s. money for treatment of vaccine use it will be rolled out on monday across the e.u.

alongside the pfizer high on take a back seat feature all over r.t. early. the call of our situation in france shows no signs of easing up either as authorities extend restrictions already in place across the country the move comes to the dismay of many business owners who are concerned about their futures are to charlotte as more. fronts remains under couvade restrictions the border with the u.k. will also remain closed for the moment for all but essential travel reasons the prime minister confirming what many see it and she just said the time because income to return to normal was to meet one person to intensive care every 7 minutes and one in 2 people in intensive care of their focal that 98. that means the curfew currently set to 8 pm in most parts of france will continue at least for the next few weeks while
8:24 am
a further 10 departments saying there could if you tightened that will not start at 6 pm boers restaurants cultural places all hoped to be opening in the next few weeks probably that's now been pushed back with mid february looking more likely another blow to a sector which says it is all new verge of collapse. from 5 to 7 pm is where people leave work so there's obviously a lot of turnover because when people leave at 5 they want to have a wonder round so the situation has now been complicated you don't deserve all this 2 hour difference has a serious effect in revenue it's the time when people come in and try things so as a bakery clients no longer come in bunches she forgot we made 85 percent of our sales revenue between $5.00 and 7 pm so it's a restaurant we try and get by we're now being hit even harder so we look for new solutions to survive front which has been criticised for being slow to roll out the

vaccine program again 19 is also seeing a rise in a new variant that was detected last month in the u.k. that variant is said to spread much faster now the government says it's stepping up its vaccination campaign and there will be $600.00 soldiers open by the end of january but is also struggling to convince the many citizens that they need to have the jab. and i wish my dentist so far as it is important to shore calling patients nation makes sense if you want to stop the pandemic we need to go through this it doesn't hurt and who have. tries to know if scientists and those who created this vaccine so i call and never want to get inoculated when their turn comes to protect
8:26 am
themselves and to protect the french population as a whole. we're committed to having the vaccine as soon as possible is a decisive step in the nationwide to tempt to control the pandemic. as new cases registered remain around the $15000.00 mark on a daily basis in front of the government appears to be struggling with how to make a dent in a virus that said to have already claimed tens of thousands of lives. this virus like all viruses in general is constantly mutating all of its varieties both the one that was identified in the u.k. and the one that was noted in south africa could also go through the path of
8:27 am
mutation as a result the virus becomes more infectious meaning it spreads faster not more powerful but more contagious this may well happen in france in the case of those who have not traveled either to the u.k. or south africa who do not know anyone who would associate themselves with these so-called patients 0 so in the end the mutated virus is more or less infectious which justifies the control measures the restrictions the masks and all the precautions in general there to reinforce. we want to bring your reminder of our top story and the domestic light from jakarta has disappeared off radar just 4 minutes after taking off an online flight tracker suggests that the aircraft rapidly lost around 3 kilometers an altitude while flying over the job reports say that around $65.00 people were on board including 12 crew members and the transport ministry says it's investigating the matter and will be keeping you posted on that story as more information comes to em. that's
