give them from. from. from. from from from. most in this civil war of. the crips really blew. the new us president joe biden files to end what he calls the civil war between democrats and republicans but then immediately goes on to dismantle king trouble policies in a flurry of executive orders. gushing mainstream media swims over the new commander in chief's inauguration speech on the debate whether america's really can heal anytime soon. either we're going to resolve these issues peacefully through the battle of ideas or in 101520 or 100 years we

will resolve them violently is just a full blown assault she'll pull in many many ways straight any opposition any any political dissent that's going to challenge the radical left agenda. and the powerful blast caused by a gas leak rips through a residential building in the dritte 3 people have been killed we hear from eyewitnesses the city. we were working near the building we heard a massive explosion and we all ran outside to take on the field vibrates and we thought it was in the university and we went outside of that rubble and st i'm. not a very good morning to you thanks for joining us here on r.t. international 1st this out got to be hasn't it joe biden being sworn in as the 46

president of the united states bringing to a close donald trump's 4 years in office the ceremony was like no other security was so high d.c. some say resembled a war zone an unprecedented 25000 national guard were called in to avoid a repeat of scenes are the one seen. few weeks earlier through the capitol hill riot. no crowds of supporters because of the pandemic instead 200000 flags were placed on the national mall and with america more deeply divided than ever biden in his speech stressed that he strived to bring about unity we must end this civil war. pits really gets blue. rural versus urban or rural versus urban conservative versus liberal. we can do this if we open our souls to so harden our hearts if we show

a little tolerance and you. and if. we're really understanding the other person's shoes as my mom would say just for a moment stand in new shoes. is done as we're following this story for us joins me in the studio morning. uncivil war joe called it. pitted against red good start it got the colors right against urban it was a bit of the joe biden famous slur there setting a perfectly how was he received what else did he have to say well one thing that joe biden is clearly trying to do he's trying to adopt this image to wear this cloak of a peacemaker if you will someone who wears a surgical mask and well turns and mends the wounds of american democracy this is what he's trying this was the message you try to convey in his speech but if you look at the very image of the inaugural of of his inauguration the 2 some odd 25000 national guard soldiers these certainly they don't really go to world they kind of

go in contrast of this message of peace and unity that joe biden try to you know project on america also when you look at joe biden's actions there are more like the aren't really aimed at uniting america but rather dismantling the legacy of donald trump and just making it look like donald trump never happened in american history on the very 1st day joe biden is expected to sign some 17 executive orders which would essentially just rip apart everything that has been doing in the past 4 years or so essentially what he's he will be joe biden will be bringing america back into the world health organization back into the paris climate accord he will be bringing down and canceling the construction of the world's infamous border. all that trump just kept throwing money at but still failed to finish and so on and so forth like the infamous most so-called muslim muslim ban that trump put into action

world joe biden will be ripping that apart as well and this is part of america's you know legislative system any one donald trump came into office he could essentially take a part of obama's administration just like that which well he didn't but this is what joe biden is doing and one might say well fair as fair that's fair game this is something that the new president can do but and millions of people would approve of that and cheer biden on but again millions of people more than 70000000 people of those who voted for trump that means they were happy maybe not with all of his policies but certainly with the majority of them unless they just wouldn't have cast their vote for donald trump and these people this is like a crusade against those people who approved of what donald trump was doing in office but one thing joe biden has and it's a very significant thing of the donald trump didn't and will doesn't is the utmost

and overwhelming support of the mainstream media just have a listen to this those lights that are that are just shooting out from the lincoln memorial i look it's like almost extensions of joe biden's arms embracing america president elect joe biden and vice president harris told griffin regret out of the privacy of our hearts if just for a moment so that we all could share it he doesn't keep a lot of things secret when it comes to his emotions and his and his family and his love for his family. so those were some very passionate words just putting it diplomatically like joe biden's arms reaching out yeah very very passionate very passionate and very graphic well but again just imagine the very 1st day this is the kind of slack that the mainstream media are giving joe biden

because well they just they just giving him credit for just being there for just getting into the white existing just for existing the already love him and cherish him and wild with trump it was completely different. so a very big difference in the way the media's been portraying. trump but let's be honest it's not just betrayal they were part of the undermining of him they were kind of rooting for him to be impeached and get him out of office because the left leaning media and he was a republican president will they give the big question will they give joe biden that same scrutiny will that be digging into his son's activities in ukraine are they going to try to get him out of office well your guess here is as good as mine again only only with time we will be able to tell that for sure but again there have been there has been some speculation and some planning on behalf of some republicans who were like kind of putting it out there that they will be looking to

start the impeachment proceedings when it comes to kemal arris the vice president over bailing out those who work and those who were taken into custody over writing during the black tribes matter protests so there has been something like that but again right now we're seeing from the mainstream media from the left leaning what i can see and soon they are just they're just giving their hearts and minds to joe biden and his administration we haven't really done anything in office yet apart from again reconstructing and taking apart donald trump's policy. and well again when it comes to those who you supported donald trump they just looking and listening to that coverage they would just feel like they have been left voices again but at some media pundits already have well we had u.k. ssion program planned for them. there are millions of americans almost all white

almost all republicans. somehow need to be deprogrammed they are members of a cult we're trying to scold 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 i'm comparing the words of a individual who would incite them radicalize somebody as osama bin laden did to what president trump did. so will some of that of course refer to those who stormed the u.s. capitol and while their violent actions that donald trump himself denounced eventually but again some of that preferred to be will millions of trump supporters who were called members of a cult and contemplate than they can you can't take the few 1000 people storming capitol building and then just say well that's the same as all the millions of the population who who supported donald can just extrapolate that on the rest of the

you know on the 10s of millions of people who voted for trump because no not well we'll just see how that fares with the with the with what used to be called well the silent majority now the vocal and there's a vocal majority who voted biden and so we'll just have to see how his presidency fares and whether or not he will be put under the same level of scrutiny that donald trump was and what's the orangemen going to be like in opposition something i'm very into to find those who are most things exist on everything in the studio. now the media coverage of the inauguration left a bad taste this leaves some people's mouths including that of legal and media analyst lionel's find out i've instructed my family in the event i were to somehow ingest some poison and you rush me to an emergency room and you had to induce emesis vomiting for those at home if you don't have any syrup of please play today's media coverage because. i think i would

upchuck it was the worst saccharin this is an a dying nonsense the best of the best was a fellow by the name of chris wallace who was on fox news facts news much which used to be considered conservative whatever that means and he said that he's been covering inaugurations since 1961 says j.f.k. ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country when we had stentorian oratory the only thing we have to fear is fear itself and chris wallace said with a straight face this was the best inaugural address. he's ever heard. i'm in a parallel universe imagine every cliche everything you've ever heard thrown into a hat and just pulled out and read and this this finding this almost. cult

like it is incantations of the stage at the you unity and what did he do within the 1st he went straight to the white house walked in and basically reversed a number of serious executive orders that president trump had such initially so in the day when he were to say we're all coming together we're all coming the other the 1st he does is give me that pen around and there you go there's your unity well during a speech to a bun also said america needs to confront white supremacy in an apparent reference to certain trump supporters. arise of political extremism white supremacy domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat. thank comes amid

a confrontational climate in which both democrats and republicans are using highly charged language to attack each other to america host ben swan spoke to his podcast guests about that hostility. but we constantly use language to to demonize and dehumanizing people on the other side it's leading us towards very drastic measures 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 in 10152100 years we will resolve them violently 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 the democrat party and their alliance with the tax notional media and tyrants to eliminate any boy starting any opposition any any political dissent that's going to challenge you know 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 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 that 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 a lot quieter you know maybe they were a bit you controversial ok then

a now president biden about president biden due to to assure people that hey we're not all in the me here and we don't have to be in a means we don't have to continue to have the. as is growing animosity there's a part of america that feels left behind for whatever reason they feel forgotten and you know that neither the political parties back them. into that base in a considerable way so i think to bring unity we need someone to talk to that base there is talk of how do we deal with trying supporters to 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. a spot on sweeping changes to tone comes to mess that policy some wonder if there will be the same dramatic shift in u.s. foreign policy i guess the if takes a closer look. it all depends on where you stand for some biden's inauguration maybe the beginning of 4 sad years for others it's a light at the end of a dark dog tunnel the united states is back and europe stands ready to reconnect we don't old and trusted partner to breathe new life into our cherished alliance if only it were that simple trumps raid cond be easily undone old bones have been

broken some irreparably so but some and only some can be salvaged we do have. a big task ahead of us in restoring revitalizing those relationships i do think it starts with showing up again some of our allies and partners question the sustainability of our commitments based on the experience of the last of recent years and that's going to be a hard hard hill to climb anyone hoping for a revolution a rethinking of american foreign policy a sadly going to be disappointed the new administration has inherited and braced trumps hostility to china for example so if you open for an end to the trade war the tariff hikes or saber rattling your outta luck i also believe that president trump was right in taking a tougher approach to china i disagree very much with the way that he won about it

in a number of areas but the basic principle was the right one the nominee for secretary of defense lloyd austin very much agrees with the nominee for secretary of state highlighting 2 primary potential threats to america clearly the strategy will be arrayed against. china is is presents the the most significant threat going forward because china is ascending russia is all sorts right but it's it's in decline they are. also approve of trump's middle east policy specifically a huge diplomatic push to get muslim nations to establish relations with israel oh in the new year recognize capital of israel jerusalem abstain too as is the rift in a 2 caused by turkey buying things it shouldn't such as russian missile systems turkey is an ally that in many ways is not acting as

a now i should and this is a very very significant challenge for us and we're very clear eyed about it they also approve of trump's middle east policy they've already said they'll do everything in their power to stop the new gas pipeline being built by europe and russia which presumably includes sanctions against european nations no mention of the withdrawal of troops from afghanistan there presumably staying for a 20th year or 2 trumps record spending in the military no sign of that going away in fact the new administration believes defense capability should be increased even further there is one stark difference between trump's and biden's foreign policies it's iran in my judgment the. for whatever its limitations are succeeding on its own terms in blocking iran's pathways to producing for some material for a nuclear weapon on short order. there you have it the only stark difference

between america's old and new foreign policies donald trump may be gone but his political spirit lives on in the new administration joe quite terrifying i think to a lot of countries that will hope that his presidency does not mean a return to war. as was personified by barack obama in his libya and venture i think another thing that we all fear is that biden was part of an obama administration that accelerates at the. ideas the diffusion of fundamentalist islam islam in the middle east isis to al-qaeda so i think that is very worrying perhaps lincoln and others are thinking ok try and make some deal with iran civil tenuously fight iran by defacto helping islam islam but of course the big danger here is we had back to back to readers when the united states was

supporting the mujahideen in afghanistan which led to the destruction of the twin towers and these are the sorts of foreign policy minded by degrees that return to stack the senate foreign relations committee so it had to back the iraq war and then see it all changed because we had from that speech full of the usual platitudes redolent of obama they all change because it by mistake and ruinous you're changing glueing lincoln and all the rest room that he's appointed around. coming up india has given the green light for us but even corona virus vaccine to undergo phase 3 trials with moscow also submitting the job for approval by the e.u. story after the break.

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 reform the banks in fact they just expanded their credit card they expanded their capacity to print and borrow and then give away cash to their friends causing this huge crisis. 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 probably the only mostly loses i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk.

public splosion in central madrid's destroyed a residential building owned by the catholic church at least 3 people have died 11 have been injured authorities have said the explosion was caused by ghastly witnesses gave their accounts of what happened. we were working near the building we heard a massive explosion and we all ran outside to help people but when we arrived smoke was coming out of the building had collapsed there was a pile of rubble on the ground. one of the seed was a gas leak i have no idea what it let's hope everything is ok. we thought it was in the universe when we went outside the rubble in the street one

of our. colleagues went out to rescue a person who was injured at least began to arrive and evacuate the area the close of the street so we could no longer see what was going on there were many injured. it seems to have been a gas explosion the city fire department is still working in the building inspector damage you can see the top stories are destroyed 5 fighters are also going through the surrounding buildings checking whether they are safe. in their homes but local journalist jaime velasquez who was at the scene of the blast. we see some flames a devote an all of the building still and we know that the 'd 5 stories of the building the top of the building have is seriously damaged there's a care home with 55 elderly people nearby these bilin and also a school the yard of the school was absolutely full 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 they believe belonged to the church. it was the residence of some priest and church workers the neighbors started recording with the phones right away with the flames and a lot of dust coming out of this building they were really worried about you know the situation finally when we found out that it was you know these buildings were not affected and it was just more reduced damage neighbor ceasar to 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 damage and the firefighters are now says what are they going to do with the building there are still some flames to add to 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. russia has submitted its spending the coronavirus vaccine for approval by the european union with the evaluation process expected to begin in february while the russian jobs being given the green light for phase 3 trials in india pharmaceutical company dr reddy's which is behind trials in the country says that they hope to get approval by march before goes well it's been in the will be used alongside the astra zeneca vaccine and it is kovacs in which have already been rolled out he spoke to dr reddy's managing director g.v.

press about why they chose spending 3. the 1st vaccines which are coming out in india i deserve for the government. have public workers and all that but there are many many many people who need access to these vaccines and hence more better and i do believe that the sputnik is also a very odd once vaccine and we hopeful that it will work for a while we were very pleased with the science behind the vaccine as you are nor it is a humanized. or used but this is a not one day then you have are 2 different back. seat or dives for the made vaccine and the booster doors that's another one day of we also saw the safety data and also some if you can see data and the science behind how this

vaccine was deadlocked and the platform which was in the ad if you want to know why it was like the best black on. the platform was considered but it's saying that if you can see i'm not going to date or not very good soul give a very privileged and honored to part of a deduction. russian company idea after to bring this mighty into india. by him russia the mass vaccination program is gaining momentum much to the delight of one foreign journalist 1000000 and a half russians going to be so wrong that already existed so let's do this out on us israeli t.v. news anchor dove gil ha you came to moscow to report on russia splitting the jump but ended up getting him self he shared his thoughts with us on the vaccine. as you well aware russian vaccine was it didn't get much credit in the world because of

the i wouldn't say haste but the speed that it was approved in russia so we honestly wanted to come in and ask and see an interview in the we approach in there fortunately the russian fund for direct investment was receptive and do we visited the. institute and talked with mr ginsburg ahead of as you well aware and talked with the researcher who was reask in and i think. there's something very generous of them to be the 1st to test it on themselves. see the effects and only then continue with the experiments and only then are committed to the splats you know 2 other western journalists already took the vaccine and a 1000000 of and a half of course of russian citizens didn't take the vaccine so i thought. yes why not let's try it it's a huge multi $1000000000.00 market and maybe some of the response to the russia

book seen is nobody wanted their action to take part in the cake in the party if you can call it that so i think the moment that the european medicine authority will sit on the papers going there and see kenya to prove be approved or not will be a really important day for this and the coffee and of course i'll be happy for you if you get the approval. of a place for you in half an hour to see that. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
