in the u.s. these patients are referred to as post. i've talked to multiple doctors and my doctor and they said the feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or. riots in several u.s. cities just hours after president. recreate democrats. we must end this civil war. the. european union moves a step closer to introducing. passports this resistance from several member states those stories and much more coming up on the program.

live from moscow this is r.t. international my names you know neil young 30 minutes of news and views start. being sworn in as the $46.00 president of the united states bringing to a close double trumps 4 years in office the new leader those vollard to bring american society together but here with the scenes in some cities just hours after his inaugural address. in portland far left members faced off with riot police officers fired tear gas into the crowd earlier a mob descended on the democratic party's offices in the city where they smashed

windows and spray painted america's symbols on the building seattle and also solve islands with protesters creating barricades and starting fires in the streets is taken to colorado where protesters set fire to a large us flying in the state capital of denver scuffles broke out house counter protesters tried to put out the flames. will be in order ration ceremony itself was like no other with security so high that d.c. resembled the war zone unprecedented 25000 troops were called in the us authorities feared a repeat of the scenes witnessed 2 weeks earlier during the capitol hill riot as mentioned the on rest their cross the us came just hours after joe biden stressed he'd strive to bring a bite to eat. we must end this civil war pits really gives blue. rural versus urban 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 know. and if. we're willing to stand in the other person's shoes as my mom would say just for a moment stand in the shoes really this is something that joe biden tries to put on this cloak of a peacemaker someone and surgical mask you know tending to and mending the wounds of the american democracy but the society is not stitching together that easily because in effect what joe biden is doing so far his actions have boiled down to dismantling everything that donald trump has done in the past 4 years and this includes bringing america back into the world health organization into signing back the purse climate accord dismantling the infamous border wall that trump just kept throwing money at and still failed to erect and so on and so forth there's plenty

of policies that joe biden has a big problem with but one thing that joe biden does have and what donald trump didn't and still doesn't have is the world overwhelming support of the mainstream media those flights 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 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 some very passionate words just putting it diplomatically like joe biden's arms reaching out. very passionate very passionate but again just imagine the very 1st day this is the kind of slack that the mainstream media are

giving joe biden because well. 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 with trump the media war with against him started instantly like with various outlets were comparing his inauguration crowd with the obama's inauguration crowd and so one like you know getting down to the very single to single person you know picking in the smallest of details because sometimes he was criticized very rightly so by the media but very often they were just you know what you need through it and joe biden isn't happening right now with such love the joe biden gets from the media he has risking. not being the peacemaker that he seems to want to be but rather deepening the crisis by failing to understand why tens of millions of people more than 70 millions of people voted against him. or biden to business

by immediately canceling a whole host of policies from the previous administration including immigration and energy the spite the sweeping changes domestically some are wondering if there will be the same dramatic shift in america's foreign policy our senior correspondent reports. 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 dog dog tunnel the united states is back and europe stands ready to reconnect wouldn't old and trusted partner to breathe new life into a 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 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 were hoping for an end to the trade war the tariff hikes or saber rattling you're 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 nuclear weapons 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 biden ear

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 accelerated the. ideas the diffusion of fundamentalist islam islam in the middle east i seized 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 ism but of course the big danger here is we're 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 mind i guess is that return to

stack the senate foreign relations committee so it had to back the iraq war and then it will changed because we heard from that speech full of the usual platitudes redolent of obama and they all change because of biden is taking rule unless you're changing glueing lincoln and all the rest of them that he's appointed around or in joe biden's a normal speech a have a stern warning for domestic foes in his address he singled out white supremacist in an apartment reference to some of donald trump's more radical supporters. arise of political extremism white supremacy domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat. i the democrats are wasting no time in hunting the enemies within according to former cia director john

brennan forward that members of the biden team are now moving and laser like fashion to try to uncover as much they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we've seen overseas. focus internal threats seems to be resonating across the population more than half of americans think domestic enemies pose the biggest threat to their way of life according to a recent poll just 8 percent think the biggest danger meanwhile comes from overseas so a lot to discuss let's get into it and speak to conservative radio host dave perkins former vice chairman of the u.s. libertarian national committee arvind vora former pennsylvania state senator bruce marks you're all very welcome gentlemen bruce can we start with you joe biden single dollar white supremacist domestic terrorist in a speech you think he has in mind and how is he going to tackle them. i don't

know who he has in mind i mean there are of course neo nazi groups in the united states that he might be targeting the fact the matter is the trump administration has been protecting the american people from violent groups both on the left and the right unfortunately i think part of it is it's biden is trying to politicize what has happened we have had looting and violence in the throughout 2020 by black lives matter type folke the starbucks in the my office was burned out we had violence last night in portland in seattle again not done by people on the left side so i think it's unfortunately the new president trying to be political instead of actually focusing on what needs to be done dave perkins or the democrats now control both houses of congress we had former cia chief brennan saying they're

already moving in laser like fashion that's the democrats against quote insurgency movements then we had for a while i take it quite a combative speech by joe biden it is a normal speech it was called a unified one but you know it was quite harsh some of the language where is this heading do you think. let's unify with those people we hate who are a danger to us and we have to round up let's unify with those people that doesn't make any sense to me it's just words that they put in that they needed to have him say unity is a 2nd principle to 1st principles are what you unify about or don't get to be unified with somebody who disagrees with you is not unity at all to now what's happening in america is donald trump's followers who were participating in over 600 rallies and protests and events for the last 5 years without a hint of violence suddenly are called the violent terrorist wing of the trump supporting. part of the republican party and as the senator pointed out the

violence from b.l.m. . over the whole year breaking windows looting stores setting things on fire attacking people even killing people is all completely overlooked the number of people in anti foreign b.l.m. or about 7 percent of the democrat party the number of people who attacked the capitol if you stipulate that that is indeed what happened is like point 003 percent of the republican party so the idea that we need to predicate an entire national movement toward laser like focus on domestic terrorists used to be a giant joke but it's got a sad part for him because people are going to be made to suffer for that who had nothing to do with it and don't want that donald trump people do not do violence arvin john brennan officer referred to quote on holy alliance involving fascists bigots racists nativists even libertarians could the dems be coming for your people as well the day is already coming we've been deep lat form

a long before trump was our groups our media our blogs have been deep platform on facebook twitter you tube and to go back to what mr perkins was saying you have right here that usual leftist belief which is unification it just means agree with us and if you don't agree with us we're going to deep platform you we're going to get you fired from your job we're going to get you kicked out of the vents dare idea of unification just means agree with us or shut it. bruce trump still has a huge support base you know he broke the records in the last election judging by the number of people who voted for him and they're not just going to leave are they you know what's his next move he's talked about setting his own patriot party could that happen could that shake things up and if it does what not just mean that the democrats will win every election because the republican vote would be divided. i believe that donald trump retains enormous popularity in america especially

by republican with republicans many of us believe the democrats changed the law illegally in the last election certainly in pennsylvania from supreme court counsel to the president and those in wisconsin. and i think that that illegality have caused him to lose those 2 states so i'm hopeful that he'll stay with the republican party and now. it's how he was the term that the democrats used 4 years ago resistance we have to resist with their doing especially the censorship you know i saw him behind day if he had a book on the k.g.b. and a book called the gulag i don't think he put that there just for this program i lived in moscow during the soviet period i know what it's like to live in the cold terry a country where there's censorship. we have to we have to join together and fight against that because that's what we're saying now absolute censorship on twitter

you know and as our libertarian leader said on other social platforms as well. dave at least some of donald trump supporters though are turning against him the pride boys for example have said he will go down as a total failure so perhaps not such a loyal base after all the proud boys are an itinerant group of tough guys who are libertarian in the extreme they're not republicans and i never heard of them before they started going to washington d.c. i was that not generous 6 but the trump rally before them and they were they are and their purpose appears to be to confront and fight and b.l.m. not to support donald trump i never heard of them in 5 years of following trump and going to his events until december of this last year i don't think so you think trump isn't going away no i think trump got 11000000 more votes than he got 4 years

ago and that in my mind indicates that about 90 percent of republican party voters are gore with him i think this is a historic opportunity to start a 3rd party if you want to go to the great difficulty of doing that and suddenly become the 2nd party i think republicans will be left with empty pockets and nothing going for them a trump draws away his supporters from their voting base it's a chance and i wouldn't be surprised if he takes it or even all this talk of on civil war between red and blue is it just the simple do you think of a few of the effective 2 party system is electoral reform needed to get beyond this . i think electoral reform is needed but this is not an outgrowth of the 2 party system and this is an outgrowth of the of a viewpoint on the left which is that those who disagree with us are absolutely evil it's not normal in a civilized society to try to get people fired who disagree with you politically as happened in google and and other big tech companies it's not normal for a tech backend processor to basically cut the electricity of

a group like parlor and those are normal behaviors in a civilized society in a democratic society in a side that values free speech what we see is such to extreme totalitarian censorship from the left both in big tech and big government that we are this is not something about the 2 parties is an attitude that is unique to the left we don't see the same attitude on the right as a libertarian ephod both sides this is a left issue it is a left problem as a left mindset but that message isn't really getting i produces i think that the culture wars are being won by the left is up because the partisan news lund scape there's there's too much there for the the liberal side of things to get their view on it and it's not being heard by enough people the other side yes of course i mean if you have a if you had the media just covering the left all the time and or is providing those positions that make it harder for any other viewpoint to get through anywhere

say of course that that's a big part of this. why i think we win some of the wars we elected donald trump and 2016 we elected. we won we won back a number of house seats in the past election but yeah it's a very unfair situation and i don't think we're going to have legislation on it now the mainstream media has always been very. liberal on laughters and it's just getting worse because of the censorship how much has your contributed to the rift that we're seeing. well i think it's contributed a lot to the rift because people like me get sick of watching. biased people on c.n.n. an immense and b c every night. they're not news stations they're you're watching for left editorials that have personally attacked the president you know from day one a visit ministration and it's kind of like blaming the victim i mean republicans

don't try to censor people that's just not them and libertarians don't do that either that's not our nature we want to be able to fight in the arena of fair speech and convince people that we're right and the democrats you know they come from list left wing castro stalinist tradition again dave's got to kick the who act look behind them. and maybe that's their playbook and it's very unfortunate because free speech is and the freedom of religion are absolutely critical to having a free society david think you know what they get praise for christmas but. i have several like it i'm sure and right after i have lived abroad what about the issue aren't broken up david by tech giants they're cracking down on what they see as dangerous content but how much blame to they have to shoulder themselves you've got facebook twitter you chip they're all known to have created online echo chambers really that push people towards extreme viewpoints no. no i think the extreme

viewpoints in this country belong mostly on the left and right wing people don't have extreme viewpoints except perhaps for the militia that's living out in the forest and they're not spending a lot of time on facebook and twitter social media is a tool that is a dream of dictators like stalin and pol pot and old adults they wish they could have had that much ability to control how people talk to each other in the old days and i know the senator will confirm this they had blocked political officers in resident areas and they asked people what other people were saying and they tried to keep track of people uttering anti-government speech in the quiet of their home and dinner and parties and that sort of thing how much easier would it be for a guy like joseph stalin to just check in with zucker berg or or the long bearded rest butin looking guy the runs twitter and say who's on my hit list this week

that's what's going on and these people don't have to be told what to do people in the media people running big tech they're all committed leftists and it's a combination of propaganda and silencing that ensures that only one viewpoint is heard and it's heard endlessly and it's amazing to me that conservatives can even thrive and survive in this environment i thank you all for coming on the program and sharing your a few points always interesting to have you conservative radio host dave perkins former vice chairman of the u.s. libertarian national committee arvin for a former pennsylvania state senator bruce marks thank you all thank you. europe is moving closer to introducing controversial vaccine passports with greece and italy saying the scheme could provide a way out of the current restrictions some other european union member states do not agree however as peter over explained. as the e.u. looks to present a united front when it comes to the fight against covert 191 measure we could well

see coming in sooner rather than later of backseat passports as more people are vaccinated the documentation in mutual recognition or vaccination become of up most important though it is premature to envisage the use of vaccines it if it gets for other purposes than health protection and a your approach may facilitate other cross border applications of such that if it gets in the future the idea certainly isn't to everyone's taste but the loss of another summer season would be unthinkable for nations whose tourism industries of already being ravaged by coronavirus so covert passports may be the only way to go greece isn't going to let the idea get caught up in the requests of naval gazing they've already got the certificates in place we're starting to she does just a vaccination certificates this is not a restriction on the country it will help us to get rid of the restrictions the code places on travel for european citizens spain is also in support for the idea

of an vaccination document while the italian travel and tourism federation is pressuring rome to act on their behalf we have vaccinated over 1000000 people so far and this number will reach some 10000000 by spring it would be a real shame not to take this opportunity to bring back to safe travel for a fairly large number of people those who lobby on behalf of the airline industry also won't understand a really keen to get this idea off the ground than the european mutual recognized vaccination certificate would be an important step towards giving governments the confidence to safely open their borders and passengers the confidence to fly without the barrier of quarantine while this is certainly up for consideration the stated goal of the e.u. commission remains paxson ating 70 percent of the e.u. population. by the end of the summer but not everyone sees covert per sports as a panacea the president of roumania has suggested that vaccine passports would

divide europe's population in 2 while the world health organization is calling on people to be a bit more thoughtful when it comes to travel and not climate to get back on planes all over the world as soon as possible i asked people here on the streets of berlin what they thought about the proposal it's a big problem for me because i don't want to be vaccinated so they have to catch me and vaccinate with with force the main point should be the focus not on travel but people we have to think about the community and that should be the main reason for certificates but at the same time such city figures might encourage people to get vaccinated thus helping society i think it's unfair because only the people who are vixen will be freed to travel to work to go to the cinema everything and the people who are not so there will be discriminated by doing facts imation at you will allow

us to get back to normal and do things i say usual for the new it does seem that some kind of vaccine document will be the way forward we'll know more after thursday's virtual summit but the mood music coming out of brussels seems to suggest that a plan could well be in place by the end of this month peter all over r.t. berlin. and a reminder if you'd like to have your say in any of this hour's stories and affirm or few besides why not leave a comment or 2 on our facebook page always like me there of an evening i mean o'neill goodbye for now. when i was a child small seemed wrong order but all in all just don't call. me the world yet to shape our disdain for you can't get educated and indeed from an equals

betrayal choose to look for common ground. right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self. and sugary and salty and addict and it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that would never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment. some of what's driving the obesity epidemic it's corporate profit.

i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report i'm going to teach you something about finances called the rule of 72 you take the rate of return he divided the 72 and it sells you how many years before you double your money so if you make an 7 percent here 7 goes into 72 roughly 10 times so you can double your money in 10 years what if you were compound ing at 70 percent that would mean that you're doubling every year 70 percent compound of doubling every year this is all going to make a lot of sense once we get into this with stacy right so we have a new administration and the united states and the party controls all houses of money printing.
