banning donald trump sparking claims of hypocrisy. thursday fording for january live from russia you're watching out international with me kevin owen here this hour well welcome to you i've got 30 minutes with our latest for you up you can stay with me to take you through our headlines in more detail than starting with the big news after heated debate the u.s. house of representatives voted to impeach donald trump for a 2nd time just a week before he set to leave office now it's up to the senate to decide whether or not trump will be able to hold public office ever again the decisions when page came as most lawmakers condemned the president's all that said almost 200 congressmen and women came out against the vote arguing it's no longer in their view about justice but revenge. donald trump is the most dangerous man
5:02 am
to ever occupy the oval office there is so dangerous what you're doing that tyrant president they want to cancel the president he is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love the houses action today will only extend the division longer than necessary let's come together impeach the president for this high crime against the republic you don't merely seek victory but you seek obliteration of your nemesis. now ahead of the vote came these pictures that went viral hundreds of national guard troops pictured sleeping on the floor of the capitol building with many online voting for a minute see the government look more like a military base there was stationed there around the clock following last week's riots at the premises the riots of the split the country as we've seen with democrats branding the story of capitol hill indeed an act of domestic terrorism. they're now simply chairman of the senate will now decide whether or not to indict
5:03 am
on charges of inciting insurrection but despite democratic party calls for insurgency for urgency for it seems the vote will not take place before the president leaves office on january 20th law expert charles rhodes explains just how it could all undermine trump's long term future. since he will have already concluded his term what conviction in the senate would do is open the door to an additional vote on a majority basis only determine whether or not he would be banned from. future public office and i think the odds are very high that that goal would be successful if the larger her go is 1st accomplished of an actual conviction in the son in the state prosecutions if they make it to trial there's absolutely no bar he can't be pardoned for it at the federal level and if the state of new york for instance were to decide that they were going to proceed forward with indictment in trial he
5:04 am
would get his day in court just like any of the defendant on the federal potential federal charges is going to come down to whether or not president truck chooses to do something that no president has ever done attempt to self pardon which he's actually been advised not to do by every legal advisor that he's raised the issue with or he doesn't attempts or if he does not self pardon i think the odds are actually lower that he will be prosecuted federally if he self pardons actually challenging the validity of a self-starter by the president and my assessment is that the united states is not going to be interested in allowing someone to commit crimes and then pardon themselves or go out the door if the self pardons he almost guarantees a federal prosecution to resolve their costs or wash. well we'll have to wait and see about all the but now the backlash isn't just political tech giants are
5:05 am
continuing to purge him from their platforms with snap chat now the latest to permanently ban the president's account troubles businesses are also being targeted to big time in cases despite his supporters questioning the validity of the measures a senior correspondents across there are. undermining an elected president you don't like is called politics just how things are censoring him and denying the president a voice that's just plain petty that's what it's called and then to go after his business interests just out of spite that's out and out cancel culture the politically correct acceptable face of hatred here to announce that the city of new york is severing all contracts with the trump organization if a company in the leadership of their company is engaged in criminal activity but we have the right to sever the contract it's happening on every level local
5:06 am
governments like new york which now has a problem with trump running the local carousels and ice rings business is also appointing him towards the door shutting down his online stores for example even the banks of bailing out ruling out future ties on trump accounts worth millions we witnessed the president of the united states encouraging the roads is a new freedom from call in the national guards to protect the congress seen these before. violence has no place in our society and the scenes that we witnessed are a shame on the whole nation. the sports world is no exception to add insult to injury they're good enough to trump's passer is goal for part the professional golfer the subsea ation is stripping the president's cherished bedminster golf course of who stayed in the 2022 p.g.a. championship which trump has apparently spent millions preparing for but that's the
5:07 am
price of going against the flow nowadays if you don't say what people like to hear you're going to have a bad heart. it will just be you your nearest and dearest get sucked in to and pretty much everyone who depends on you will live in the age of cancel culture but this isn't something the start of this week it is something that they have been doing to us in others for years if you disagree with them if they don't like you they try and cancel the. trump's presidency was undoubtedly divisive this is a person you either hate who you love you may feel that he deserves all of this you may feel it's odd justified but you can't deny that he's left to mock that he was the president oh well turns out you cat i'm working on a bill that would mean that nothing not even
5:08 am
a bench no point no highway no school nothing ever bad the name of this traitor it's about pure heady social media driven revenge and this is the lowest level of any kind of political discourse that i have ever see it's not in any way surprising that these groups because they don't have a real arguments are going to try to sort of go around the thing it's kind of like if you're in a debate with a person where you have no chance of winning a debate you just turn off the electricity so that nobody has a microphone that's what we're seeing over here when you treat the other side as if they're not just people that you disagree with but people who you view as your enemy you will make them your enemy and right now the democrats have made themselves 74000000 enemies maybe even more than that i don't know and when you do that you create divides in the country you create hostility you create violence and we have not seen the end of this this is not something being created by trump's the
5:09 am
bastard this is something else something being created by the fact that so many people feel silenced and deep platforms by left wing media both social and traditional. want to show you this next hundreds of riot smashing the windows and then setting a police station in brussels and light over the death in police custody of a young immigrant. was it will you see the strength or feel in there at times protesters have taken to the streets demanding further investigation of the death of an african migrant at the police department officers used force to disperse the crowds it got so unruly at times the victim's family lawyer says authorities have got big questions to answer. it brahim of films the actions of the police on camera he used his civil right to film the police human rights organizations have long insisted that there is such
5:10 am
a right to film the police on camera the police got annoyed in the end they decided to imprison him during the search he lost consciousness and nothing happened he was left for dead this prompted the crown attorney to open an investigation into the manslaughter charge when people asked me alexey do you think it happened because he is black and foreign i don't know what i should answer because i know one thing probably with my son he is blind in the same age this would not have happened and this is unacceptable i have no words no respect no dignity and no humanity well you heard some of the groan that 23 year old ibrahim or was detained apparently on saturday evening reportedly while filming police officers on his smartphone then the story goes he lost consciousness of the police department he was rushed to hospital but doctors could not save his life the exact cause of death
5:11 am
is still not known now police are saying the man was detained for violating pandemic lockdown curfews but then an autopsy apparently found he died before the curfew protesters and demanding justice. it was like a brother to me it's almost like we were a family so i have the right to be outraged because we're talking about the death of a human being here and we think it is totally normal for people to be outraged we are grieving that is the main reason why we're here and the 2nd reason is that we demand justice justice must be done a lot of aspects still regarding the circumstances of his death. but no it touched on this earlier but now the online giants seem happy the bad news is they don't like but less key maybe when it happens to them case in point this story in the african state if you go twitter's hit a social media by the country's president amid an ongoing election process happening right now. reports the long growing cries the big tech might be
5:12 am
a little bit hypocritical here. in a rough start to 2021 it looks like twitter is using finance as quickly as it stock is tumbling which it. can come and run with 0. 00 function. was. good news except the ugandan president has blocked access to all social media platforms in the run up to the general election why it while you're wary mr feeney claims the overreaching nods in silicon valley when meddling and taking sides by banning the accounts of government officials linked to his campaign which for someone hoping to extend his 34 year rule by a few more years was never going to be a winning policy used to being on the other side of a purge though twista was not impressed action as to information and freedom of
5:13 am
expression including the public conversation on twitter is never more important than during democratic processes particularly elections a noble sentiment that must have slipped twitter's mind when it banned the president of the united states his noise former advisors former white house trying to just needing conservative personalities and over 70000 other accounts apparently because they rather embellish their understanding of the 1st amendment by firing up magnus supporters and inciting a riot at the capital so we're courting to twist the number one jack dorsey on friday in america censorship is in the national interest but on tuesday in uganda it's a human rights violation begging the question are there any mirrors at twitter h.q. there right about the principles of be expressed in that tweet the irony though the really sick dark and dangerous irony is that they themselves are leading the way in
5:14 am
doing exactly that which they're a lecture in other countries that they can't do you want to. but lacking self-awareness has been a long time past said of the social media platform one it's pushing for public conversations around election time in a far away country rewind a few months to when it froze out the new york post over a story about the president elect's son's laptop the one that apparently exposed tom to biden's dodgy dealings in ukraine while his father joe then v.p. was point man for the country is it any wonder the newspapers that it's a still. the goal my lords pre-election freedom of information for ugandans but not for readers of america's oldest daily newspaper the new york post for which twista said sorry we made a quick interpretation using no other evidence that the materials in the article were changed. and according to. them from being spread. on further consideration we admitted distraction was wrong and critical within 24 hours
5:15 am
calling out others shutting down haters and giving yourself a full time free pass so much easier than practicing what you preach it's exactly quarter past the hour this is a international coming up to be or not to be that is the question the story of the pushback against a top british screenwriters call to no longer because it's a sexual act is to play gay characters you put that whole thing up for debate and. talk about a word that means different things to different people depending on where you live what area you live what school you went to that word inflation.
5:17 am
hello again so a leading british screenwriter producer behind some of the u.k.'s most acclaimed l g b t dramas says that heterosexual actors should not be cast in gay roles but even so much is best known for playing ground breaking gay characters of hit back at what russell t. davies had to say these thoughts on it over reaching on equality maybe i feel strongly that if i can't someone in a story i'm counseling them to act as a lover or an enemy or someone on drugs or a criminal or a saint they are not there to act gay because acting gay is a bunch of codes for a performance it's about authenticity the taste of 2020. i'm not completely convinced he understands what acting actually involves i.e. inhabiting a totally different character back in the late eighty's and early ninety's during the aids crisis the homophobia the secrecy of the quality shows etc i was always dreaming of the day when being gay was no longer an issue when we were no longer
5:18 am
defined as gay activists or gay people just people so let's get some more thoughts on that we put the issue of whether heterosexual actors should be allowed to play gay characters or not. i don't think as an actor that it matters what the sexuality you look at. when i was at john a school in london with the whole you know we play at any one all we serve the back carbon shakes and reeks. i've played a lot of characters outside of mind and spirit and it's time to move on. you to ridicule the the gay life has already transgender my guests now i would suggest that it's necessary to not leave the decks variance so you. made that i do believe it's possible to replicate. hacky sack
5:19 am
sure i think at the end of the day the best actor should be cast in a role i think it's important to have those ability it's important to have it. for when it come to you alan i think yes invites and they are room for that in the room. you know let others how about unity just like any other actor but i think best. to play that role it's not excuse excuse of a team in my opinion let's take for example and one example comes to mind is scarlett johansson she was asked to play a transgendered man accused what changes are you in that she should have the right to play any role in an ideal world maybe what i would say how on earth can start your answer or friends who creek convey the experiences and life of a transgender man when i would suggest she hasn't got the 1st clue about what has
5:20 am
also been argued that illegal drug addicts play a drug at all only a royal can pay a royal person. that's a very specific period we want to have in this argument 20. it would mean. i mean now. the viewer is ruins now or stands in experience to mess. with stress the best way is this very specific roles like casey where you have to be. as we are trained to be then any job interview where. what is your sexuality is not. exist in one. plus in the past no u.s. president elect joe biden has chosen who he wants to run the federal international
5:21 am
aid agency usaid or that's another obama era named samantha power you may recall her name previously served on the national security council and was barack obama's u.n. envoy revealing a choice that by explain why he wants power on his team now. as one of our country's most respected voices on humanitarian issues and i have seen both her passion and her principles firsthand there could be no one no one more qualified through those efforts that samantha. let's remind ourselves during her previous high profile government jobs power faced a raft of ethical questions from critics she did pushed for military intervention in libya on humanitarian grounds during the civil war there nearly a decade ago she was also a strong supporter of u.s. involvement in syria and yemen both of which succumbed to a devastating humanitarian plight but now she's sure she is the one to lead washington's mission to heal the world. the united states has
5:22 am
a chance to partner with and support people who are on the frontlines in battling coven who are trying to build climate resilience who are standing up for the rule of law. standing up against inequality and trying to create more just society humanitarian support democracy assistance economic development those are not nice to have in our foreign policy tool box they are critical. maybe the bigger picture too for pentagon analyst michael maloof predicting the aid agencies in line for a major upgrade as a foreign policy tool for. well her position is actually accorded to biden is going to be elevated to the national security council level so that. gives an added importance as to how foreign aid will be used and humanitarian assistance will be used as a guiding light or a common foreign policy under biden and also shows that we might even go ahead and
5:23 am
so far and weaponize that given. samantha powers previous experience and read and recommendations to then vice president biden and to obama the president libya was it was one of those outcomes yemen was a letter so if we if we need humanitarian assistance or. and coupled with that would be human rights advocacy and insists upon that in in any assistance that we give. does that mean that we're going to go ahead and shoot it into people's heads again so this is a bit her elevation like this raises some important questions as to just to what extent foreign policy or foreign assistance will be used as a foreign policy weapon as opposed to give an absolute assistance in the future. my support of timely technology used from russia as well clever if it works russia's

i'm max keiser this is the kaiser report we're going to talk about a word that means different things to different people depending on where you live what area you live what school you went to that war is inflation so you see yes there is runaway inflation 5 reasons why runaway inflation is imminent according to morgan stanley i might add that in the past week it's emerged that morgan stanley owns 10 percent of micro strategy now so they have a massive bitcoin position they last week when they announced that this would this purchase had been made they also had said of course is there a hedge last monday we published the 1st weekly warm up note from morgan stanley equity strategist michael wilson who in addition to warning that the market is ripe for a drawdown as the risk reward has deteriorated may tiriel a prediction which has yet to pass laid out his most countries arion view about 2021 namely that the big surprise in 2021 could be higher inflation the many
5:29 am
including the fed expect currently the consensus is expecting a gradual and orderly increase in prices as the economy continues to recover however the move in asset prices like big coin suggest markets are starting to think this adjustment may not be so gradual or orderly sounds like they're watching kaiser report of course they were. well you know it's. it's the rise of inflation that's coming back into the mix people are talking about it again and it's an interesting con topic because as i said at the top of the show this word inflation means different things to different people and the. sea. the consumer price index which is the most quoted gauge of inflation is like many things that are generated by the government or by corporations it's
5:30 am
censored right so it's the victim of censorship and that number is very carefully crafted to convey a message which you could say is financial propaganda because it needs to hide the fact that behind the scenes things are happening that the government and corporations don't necessarily want you to know about well speaking of censorship and propaganda related to prices this past weekend on orange bowl pod cast we decided we interviewed preston pes you mentioned that the problem with q.e. and this inflation is coming about because of the next step of q.e. q.e. is credit for the banking system where abouts and encounter 3 trillion in new stimulus on top of the 4 trillion that just came last year so there's another 3 trillion just in the 1st few months of the year then there are calls for you be i.
