the struggle. was. nothing like. the bottom is sworn in as the $46.00 president of the united states promises to end the civil war publicans and democrats will look at whether the rifts can be here. either we're going to resolve these issues peacefully through the battle of ideas or in 10152100 years we will resolve them violently is just a full blown assault on behalf of the democrat party and their alliance when it casts notions media tyrants to eliminate any way straight any opposition any any political dissent that's going to challenge the radical left agenda. trying to

leave the white house amid a massive security operation for the inauguration in washington. i guess it's a pretty good chance but it doing so they close a lot of pretty much the whole downtown area just barricades and checkpoints there's no concrete blocks everywhere never seen security like this here anywhere in america. a powerful blast ripped through a residential building in madrid to killing at least 4 people. suspected we hear from eyewitnesses on the scene. we were working near the building we heard a massive explosion and we all ran outside to help people they would have to flee we felt the walls 5 rating we thought it was in the university and when we went outside there was rubble in the street and.

from moscow thanks for joining us thought you were not international welcome to the program. joe biden has been sworn in as the 46th president of the united states bringing to a close that on trump's 4 years in office in his speech biden called for unity at a historic time of crisis and challenge ahead of the inauguration 200000 flags were placed on the national mall they represent the crowds kept away from the ceremony due to the pandemic other safety measures that were laid to cope with the unprecedented 25000 national guard troops are in washington to maintain security auntie's john hardy was following the inauguration ceremony for us. in past inaugurations during i guess you say a normal inauguration there'd be hundreds of thousands if not more people behind me instead there are flags so obviously the coded pandemic we knew this was going to be a much scaled back and smaller and much more subdued affair because of the cove in 1000 pandemic but then add in what happened january 6th and the intense security

the red zone through you know around the national mall and around the capitol that massive security perimeter of the 25000 national guard troops but nonetheless joseph r. biden giving a speech about a 20 minute speech a message underscoring unity in america perhaps one of the most divisive and divided times in this country's history saying that america or democracy is precious democracy is valuable this is a day about democracy not about the candidate and that despite the events on january 6th democracy has prevailed jennifer lopez saying also lady gaga you know sing the national anthem but you know it is it is obviously this is a much more scaled down affair and just getting here it was very intense you know getting through the city we had to go all the way around the perimeter we had to go through a coded testing site where they made sure that you know we were we were tested as far as those in attendance you know you have cabinet future cabinet officials you

have the supreme court justices you have members of congress plus one they are only allowed to bring one guest usually members of congress would have a contingent of people that have basically a number of passes they could give out that wasn't the case this year so these are all things that are representative of the day which is you know nonetheless is a sunny sunny beautiful but cold and windy windy day. during his inauguration speech show biden said it was for america a means to confront want supremacy and an apparent reference through support to this will comes amid a climate of highly charged language being used by both democrats and republicans are going to show. host ben swarmed spoke to his podcast guests about the libby. the use of language is so important as a journalist i know words mean something and we constantly use language to to demonize and dehumanizing people on the other side it's leading us towards

very drastic measures and i write about that are my overstating that no you're absolutely right listen the use of language is the most by which we communicate yes some of our communication modalities are non-verbal but we are a dialoguing animal and so to the extent that we can serve the meaning of words then we control the narrative and so let me give you an example rape used to mean that you know the reprehensible diabolical crime that it was i mean typically a male who you know a service the right of a woman to have freedom of choice in terms of who she wishes to mate with but that wasn't enough so now we talk about things like visual rape right so if a man liers at a woman the wrong way well it might be reprehensible maybe you shouldn't do it but it's not a form of sexual assault but by altering the language such that someone who approaches you in a vulgar manner is engaging in linguistic rape someone who stares at you in

a leering way is engaging in visual rape you create a new reality so of course language matters and you're exactly right that it's dangerous and to call your next door neighbor who is a white male who voted for trump the mystic terrorist is not going to result in good downstream effects and i always tell people there's only 2 options either we're going to resolve these issues peacefully through the battle of ideas or and 10152100 years we will resolve them violently is there something that needs to happen in terms of trying to find some form of unity from now former president trump or about to be former president trying to create a feeling of unity he has talked a lot about defending his supporters and protecting them but at the same time what could he do to say there's got to be a better way to treat these people and to not not just demonizing them but the humanize them. yes so i mean frankly i think the message of this unity.

is not coming from trump it's coming from the incoming administration that strongly a spouses identity politics as a way to organize society identity politics by definition is the opposite of unity because it get allies us into tribes whether it be political tribes whether be sexual orientation tribes will there be skin color tribes it is the opposite of a unifying message add a moment where there is such rage toward the losing side i don't think we've ever seen this happen before where rather than taking a victory lap rather than celebrating the win we're seeing almost like what you might call a sore winner is that is that how you would describe it. yeah well that the left is definitely projecting right that's what they do they're classic projectors i like to say that projection is their game fascism or fascist is their name because

that's exactly what they're doing what conservatives are currently experiencing here in america and really all around the world regardless of which you know nationalist or populist movement you may be a part of is just a full blown assault on behalf of the democrat party and their alliance with the tech social media and tyrants to eliminate any way start any opposition any any political dissent that's going to challenge the radical left agenda and so you're talking about your politics people have a reason to be scared one side is not allowed to speak and it's more than just not speaking is it not it's you don't have the right to speak and we're going to talk in your place in your stead about how you must be deprogrammed you must think differently if you don't change the way you think you should have a job you should be a lot of fly on airplanes you should be allowed to stay in hotels or air b.n. b. this is not a new phenomenon right this has been happening under the eyes and noses of

lawmakers here in our country who have just decided to turn a blind eye to it because like you said it's easy for people to say well you know these things aren't happening or they can't happen on a bigger scale because you know maybe those people should have just found little quiet or you know maybe they were a bit too controversial but you know when you look at history and absolute horrors and acts of genocide and atrocities that happen this is the same behavior right that leads to it and this is exactly what happened in 1930 s. germany but can a now president biden about president biden do to to assure people that hey we're not all in a maze here we don't have to be in a muse we don't have to continue that how does this growing animosity but tween us as chaos we can just come together as americans. that is an excellent question so i think in order to bring we have to honestly address what was the cause of so many

trump supporters who may not have really been stopped republicans but they were stopped republican support drop them out of the follow what made them so excited they will follow everything that and there's a part of america that feels left behind for whatever reason they feel forgotten and they feel that neither the political parties back then and in to that base in a considerable way i think to bring unity we need someone to talk to that base that there is talk of how do we deal with a troll supporters and deprogrammed them it's rather disconcerting at the same time it's not surprising when certain media avenues and certain people and even politicians have been convincing americans and other people around the world that donald trump was the 2nd coming of hitler that he was running concentration camps that he was going to genocide people that he's a white supremacist in a racist and all of this stuff and then a quarter of the country supports him 75000000 people voted for him if someone has

been programmed to believe that then it's not entirely shocking nor surprising the way people are responding i think it was fairly easy to see it coming as i said at the same time it's extremely hypocritical one of the things that most one of the things that a lot of trouble opponents criticize donald trump for is that he is divisive and that he is polarizing and that he harms unity right so for people to say that and then at the same time be talking about you know reprogramming 75000000 americans or d. platforming them or trying to silence them or calling them you know nazis or nazi enablers all these very very you know inflaming terms it's extremely hypocritical because they're doing the exact same thing but actually far worse than what they complain that donald trump or even some of his supporters have been doing and it's weird how people can sort of see that blind spot due to their own political biases. meanwhile

biden is already fast at work implementing the new administration's agenda the president has signed 17 executive orders reversing some of trump's most controversial policy that includes undoing a travel ban on some muslim majority and african nations rejoining the paris climate change accord and the world health organization let's get more now from him to go speak to leave well who's the editor of dot com thanks for joining us good to have in the program today certainly no time being wasted is this can be described as a blunt rejection of trucks presidency. well i think it's they hate trump they hate his presidency they hate everything about him some of the things that he is hateable in some ways not in others but that you know it doesn't matter they want to they want to put him in jail i mean the various soros funded district attorneys are going after him they want to put him in his family in jail and this is this their their hate filled and they hate everybody who might be

a trump supporter maybe was a trump supporter and it's quite i mean you know it's alarming but this is this is what they want they hate the deplorable so-called they hate the flow fly over states and this is the best about it is going to have many more of these executive orders i'm sure and. probably most of them are terrible maybe not all of them are terrible i don't actually know but he's going to be facade the executive orders all during the his 1st 100 days and of course make everybody were a mask and all the rest of that nonsense walk downs if. these are very damaging to the economy they would like that i guess the damage to the economy one of the things trump did that was very wrong he started this lockdown business that was a very bad mistake a terrible thing and. he's maybe reaping the results of that right now

just how big of a challenge do you think it's going to be for the new administrations have to to put its immediate plans and focus instead of done doing under the so many policies that trump put forward instead of implementing its own agenda. well i would say it's agenda is undoing what trump did i mean i would say that's the 1st thing on the agenda they have other things they want to raise taxes and although they're going to undo the the trump tax cut so that. this is this is what they're this is what they want to do and i guess they have the support of the certainly their support of the media the media's being at the moon and cheering all this stuff they have the support of the immigrant a party and apparently the u.s. military to. military is the american military it wasn't always like this but it tends to be very left wing operation and so they were happy to send $26000.00 troops to to the inauguration it looks like. somebody somebody said it looked like

what they did when the lincoln was in danger of being the washing to be innovative by the confederates and capturing lincoln it but of course they also said that the trump people were going to attack all the state houses the 50 state houses this last sunday course it was baloney this was baloney but they they're but they're militarist this is. not some democrats used to be anti-militarist anti-war but these people are all pro-war pro militarism and they're going to star wars i'm sure there's going to be a war that's going to be started with maybe the certainly the 1st year and terrible we don't need we we don't need more wars we don't need more taxes we don't need more government and we certainly don't want american people hunted down like dogs by the f.b.i. all these other agencies the secret police agencies and they want to and in fact they've talked about starting an actual secret police agency that would be in charge of going after people who were trump supporters and seeing making sure

they're behaving themselves of the not behaving themselves turning the rest of the policy loose or to try to sort of get as many questions in and as i can here do you think biden's being too ambitious with his agenda for the for the 1st 100 days in office and do you think that's going to be welcome but from supporters. that he's that he's over shooting himself i don't know my guess is trump supporters are going to dislike everything biden does but. i don't think i don't think he's overshot himself i think he's got all he's surrounded by a huge staff a lot of the people from the obama administration so they're used to this sort of thing and my guess is they've not overshot they're going to make all these changes during the 1st 100 days and. it's in there but it but they're also planning to go after every wood from supporter and at least supervise people and maybe worse than that and some of these people sound like they would like to have concentration

camps is that they talked about trumping hitler or these people are talking about concentration camps so it's a very unfortunate look while it's called dot com thanks for joining us on the international thank you now as biden takes the reins in washington and he'll have to deal with a crisis of trust in the government a poll conducted after the storming of the capital found 4 out of 5 americans believe the u.s. is fooling apart a similar proportion though say they were still proud to be american who got reaction in texas new york. i think there are real divisions and i think that comes from external passy caste system not the south. i mean there's there's a kind of political divides that are often sort of manufactured i think there are 212 things that happen at the capitol and yet i mean it's really easy to feel look at home to the school before i would say you know we're like i'm a good spot there passed you out of. this country. line apart. you know

that and then the 10 serious serious things you know about the president there are 400000 individual americans dying from poor coronavirus you have millions of people unemployed you have businesses falling for bankruptcy you can't play issues between the current president and the president coming it's not a very. it's a easy easy switch over i think it kind of what the current the new president biden is doing as far as trying to impeach the old tried to help president is kind of childish. days building up to you know the rush in the washington sort of massive security operation unfold with thousands of soldiers and barricades on the streets and drones in the road just there for looks at who the operation was directed against. washington is on red alert had locked out no huge crowds no fanfare they've even divided the city into color coded zones like baghdad residents could

move around in green zones but red zones are restricted and guarded by 20 $5000.00 troops there guarding not against an enemy not against terrorists but against their room population. all of this of course following what they call the insurrection at capitol hill on january 6th since then the secret service the f.b.i. the national guard intelligence seemingly anyone with a badge has been moved to prevent trump supporters from trying it again and everyone's a suspect even the troops stationed in washington being screened for right wing

sympathies by the f.b.i. this is like something out of north korea we're continually going through the process and taking 2nd 3rd looks at every one of the individuals assigned to the suppression we need to be conscious of it and we need to put all of the mechanisms in place to thoroughly vet these men and women who would support any operations like this. and. distrust and fear are in the air hagon like like a poisonous me step 3 way it doesn't matter which way you voted people are statistically warrant this isn't the country they've lived in their entire lives i guess it's pretty. tense but in doing so they close a lot of people downtown areas to barricade to check points that no concrete blocks everywhere so you really can't get anywhere near the national or constitutions i mean you know it's really sad that it's lived in washington for 20 more than 20 years i've been to

a lot of inaugurations and i've never seen security like this here or anywhere in america and it isn't just washington d.c. it's it's all over the country and there is good cause one in 3 voters still believe that biden wasn't legitimately elected one in 3 hold this radical view and you were out so kay that's bad but in america where the most guns per capita in the world at really really bad right now there's too much going on in our country when all the election is on one side and a trumpet ministration if you're scared of a long gun our country was born on long guns the revolutionary war was won and fought with longer we have a country that's getting more deeply polarized because we have 2 political parties that are playing each other for each other's problems and issues the foundations of the parties something needs to be done these these congo on the country needs to

heal right you can't very well run a country with this kind of divide brother against brother neighbor against neighbor and if you listen to democrat press statements at's what they've been trying to do think the events of the past few weeks have proved out just how damaged the soul of america has been and how. important is to restore it that work starts on wednesday the thing with press statements and i can tell you this from experience as they are who always truthful and in this case it isn't they're preaching peace but what they're doing is something else entirely that turning the 74000000 people who voted for trump and to lampas to be shunned and costs that there has to be consequences but history shows it is not reacting not forcing accountability only and all that in those people and those movements i don't know if there's such a job as a political exorcist but they need to do something to fix the republican party to

get this demon alfonse there are republican members of congress i know who clearly have lost their minds who just will not accept reality when it comes to the facts about donald trump if you voted for trump you voted for the person who the klan supported you voted for the person who nazis support you voted for the person who the all right supports that's the crowd that you are in and no one's trying to be the better person here trump is skipping the integration and flying them to florida not so much as the good luck to biden too offended themselves good riddance they say what next merica hasn't been this divided since the civil war but nice to think that it'll all be better off for the inauguration. but why would it no one seems to be in any rush to make the 1st move passions run high in america today and i

think every precaution has to be taken to ensure that a repeat of january 6th doesn't occur. on inauguration day or trying to disrupt the united nation of joe biden but the the imagery of 25 a nation governed. by a government that is not recognized legitimate by that number that you know that percentage of the americans so you know this is it's going to be a very difficult 4 years for the united states i don't know if we're ever going to be able to recover from this the partisan political divide is so deep and so wide joe biden is not the politician to bridge it he is one of the reasons why this divide exists so is donald trump and there's there's not joe biden will speak of unity he will speak of healing but the fact of the matter is he has now the trust of a significant percentage of the american people and there will be no healing there

will be no unity. a powerful explosion in central madrid as a story a residential building owned by the catholic church at least 4 people have been killed and an f. an injured i wouldn't sense gave us their accounts of what happened. we were working near the building we heard a massive explosion and we all ran outside to help people when we arrived smoke was coming out of the building had collapsed there was a pile of rubble on the ground that could have crushed people they say was a gas leak i have no idea let's hope everything is ok i think only think if we felt the walls vibrating we thought it was in the university and when we went outside there was rubble in the street one of our colleagues went out to rescue a person who was injured police began to arrive and evacuate the area they closed off the street so we could no longer see what was going on we only knew that there were many injured. it seems to have been a gas explosion the city fire department is still working in the building

inspecting the damage you can see it at the top 4 stories are destroyed firefighters are also going through the surrounding buildings checking whether they are safe. madrid's said the blast appears to have been caused by a ghastly earlier we spoke with a local journalist. we know little about the explosion we know that it might have been a gas leak they say that they were doing some repairs seen side of the field in jury interplast we know that there are some scientists police specialized units of the police here trying to find out exactly how this blast happened around 3 india after noon today we see some flames a devote an all of the building a seal and we know that the 5 stories of the building the top of the bill in half seriously damage there's a care home with 55 elderly people nearby these bilin and also

a school the yard of the school was absolutely food of rubble after the explosion and fortunately not any of the populace of the school and also the residents of this care home were injured the police has also sent some conine brigades on the rescue dogs to find out if they might have stills be somebody inside of the building or could be trapped in the remains of the building after these huge blast. rocked the residence of some priest and church workers unfortunately it looks like it could have been even worse the explosion could be felt and heard from several kilometers from the spot the neighbors started recalled in with their phones right away with the

flames and a lot of dust coming out of this building there were really worried about you know the situation especially for example the parents of those popeil some of these nearby school and also the relatives of the you know the elderly that live in these care. home finally when we found out that it was you know these buildings were not affected and it was just more reduced damage neighbor society to be more. calm but but definitely they were really really really worried and some of them they are still not able to go back to the buildings because it's not safe because the structure has been seriously damaged and the firefighters are now says what are they going to do with the building there is still some flames at the bottom so this situation continues to be quite unstable and we don't know exactly how it is going

to play yard what is going to happen with the building and when the neighbors will be able to go back to their homes next on the documentary power struggle for nichols the heated political battle the shutdown of the morning yankee nuclear power plant on the banks of the connecticut river and back in half an hour with the latest updates join us again. well we said in 2008 right here on this show was that because there was no attempt to reform what the banks had done and the global financial crisis was caused by the banks who were hoarding the cash they were sitting on the cash they were lending it here we are in 2021 exactly as they predicted they did not reform the banks in fact they just expanded their credit card they expanded their capacity to print and borrow and then give away that cash to their friends causing now this huge crisis.

the world is. shaped by. the day or thinks. we dared to ask.
