bob bob is the terminal of the your roller g. division the rudolph in or horse foundation hospital in the and bob good to see you welcome it's widely expected that the f.d.a. will approve the pfizer biotech vaccine maybe in a couple of hours u.s. officials have pretty much made clear do you think they've had enough time to do a full assessment of its safety. well frankly speaking i think they did and i think it is the same through 40 e.m.e.a. which is in europe and we're expecting some approval but the end of the year again i'm not a vaccine expert but as any human is and it is ition right now in the health care profession we are eager to get a vaccine because we know it's a very serious condemn and despite all allegations that this is just a hoax and everything it is a real problem we have so we need extremes exene is the solution for this problem to get our back alive spec to normal now would you're talking about what was mentioned about all the worries that we have i think we have to put that in context and not make a blanket criticism of vaccine which is a obviously working well one of those our correspondent mentioned the deaths of 6 people during late stage trials it wasn't revealed by pfizer but by the f.d.a. i suppose that begs the question if the manufacturer did admit to that could there be other mishaps we don't know about it. bragg speaking i was also a bit surprised by this and let me tell you it's not the only of yeah you know i live in europe we listen to the enemy but remember that's why we have those institutions we're not going to listen to companies tell us what to do or to big pharma we would like to have the facts and the numbers and obviously b.m.a. and if they able to also russian officials will look at these data and i have to give credit you know sputnik was a 1st vaccine out there with very good improvising results but we know that vaccines will have problems you know one out of 1000000 vaccines have serious allergic problems for example all over all vaccines all across the board of the vaccines and remembered at this current back seemed to pfizer one remember there is a single farm there's the oxford back seniors there's the russians food nixon just the 1st one of the russian have to get the credit you have they had the 1st vaccine out in the market working very well nicely studied in a large portion of the population and yet if you look at all those that will be side effects there will be complications and is completely to realistic to think that this vaccine will work in 100 percent of patients with 100 percent saved i would suppose that people would understand that there could be side effects that comes with most medication but maybe what's giving people pause for thought is that the u.k. made it to the fore most of the warning that people with severe allergies should avoid altogether using the pfizer biotech vaccine don't see that as a concern though. i do i do see any complication as a concern and i think i would like to take it away from a political perspective. and perspective and i think now it's up. officials are going to chess and all the other an institution that you look at those complications analyze them and see what component he was allergic reaction again it's very obvious to all of us that any person who's highly allergic or has an of a leg to react as is a bad candidate it doesn't mean you should be no can. just moving aside to another issue that the big picture really bob worldwide polling in recent months has shown widespread reluctance to take a covert vaccine how do you think people are going to be won over or or should that be put to one side on focus more upon those who need it the most. i think you're absolutely right and i think it's nicely said because at the end of the day yes there is worries and there will be always a lot of skepticism and discussions but again remember when sputnik came out there was a lot of skepticism in the west about this vaccine and i was one coming out and said you give the benefit of that now and you see it work you need who knows of the backseat you know that if you just you talking about the pfizer vaccine roughly 44000 patients were in this phase 3 trial out of which 42000 already had the 2nd vaccinations and then the complications rates were extremely according to the if the or point 63 percent of the vaccine patients had allergic reactions or point 510.31 percent that's a very low number to seem through the vacc

bob iger in spite of what he heard him say, his praise for the communist government of china -- he may nominate bob iger because of what he says. sucking up to china is the qualification and actually bob iger is just following the lead of the biden family. today our reporter obtained a 2012017 email from joe biden's n hunter to the chairman of the chinese energy company cfc. o pr operate the buyeden family's venture with the company. now, ce fshg c, you might remember, is the company that offered hunter $30 million for, quote, introductions alone, introductions to the people his father worked around, introductions to his father. and the equity stake for someone called the big guy. who's the big guy. according to the ex-business partner, the big guy was joe biden. if all of this seems a little too brazen to be real, consider the media class and the silicon companies they depend on for revenue operate in the same way. it was four years ago today, december 16, 2016, that our national news media was united on one point -- nothing, they told us, was a bigger threat to the safety of this democracy than foreign meddling in our politics. it was happening before our eyes, we were told, and our president-elect, donald trump, was probably come police it in that meddling, not by chinchinat by russia. a specter of treason hovers over donald trump. the same day, december 16, 2016, "the washington post" open bed by "the washington post" owned by jeff bezos, china's biggest front for retail sales in itsa' country, published a piece with this headline -- fbi in agreement with cia that russia aims to help trump win the white house, of course national public radio, cnn, nbc, every major news organization -- top similar points. none of these outlets are saying word one tram about the emails we just read you, the biden families attempt to get the money from our chief adversary. they say nothing about the propagandizing and profiteering in china, they celebrated he might be our country's representative to the government of china. why istrs that? because our media are dependent onon china, they won't let you view stories on hunter biden because those stories are really about china and negative stories about china are not allowed. it's becoming obvious, just hours ago a major digital storefront in the united states banned the sale of a video game because it marks the appearance of the president of china, not of our president but of the chinese president, that's not allowed.d, and yet in the face of this, joe biden is accelerating our sucking up to china, installing chinese propagandists in the u.s. government to represent our interests in front of china. this will continue to have an every day in this country and if you try to say anything about it, your words might disappear too.o ken buck represents colorado in the united states congress calling for a special counsel to probe the business dealings with the government of china and he joins us tonight, thank you so much for coming on. what would you like to know specifically about the biden families business deals with the government of china? >> i think the critical question is how much joe biden knew about hunter biden's activities? we know he met with a board member at burisma and hunter biden joined the board of burisma making $83,000 a month. we know that hunter biden received multi-hundred thousand dollar check from the wife of the mayor of moscow. we know that hunter biden was on air force two with vice president biden going to china, meeting with chinese government officials and banks and investment firms controlled by the chinese communist party and 12 daysys later starts an investment firm partnership with those chinese government officials. so we know that joe biden was o aware of some of the activities, we don't know if he benefited financially but there's no way that the american people are going to trust the biden administration to look into his own son and possibly his dealings. that's why it's so critical we get a special counsel to investigate exactly what happened with hunter biden, with china, ukraine, and other countries. >> tucker: i think the themes are becoming clear, a hollywood trade publication today reported that biden is considering naming bobger of disney, a company that explicitly carried chinese propaganda under the guise of entertainment as the u.s.nm ambassador to the government of china, how can that be under consideration? >> it's a perfect example of how far the biden administration is willing to move away from a very effective policy of the trump administration. the trump administration took china very seriously, wee know they are a military threat, we know they cheating every single single area financially and economically and we know that their domination around the world continues and if we don't stand up to them and frankly if we don't build an alliance with western europe and other countries to stand up to china, they will continue down this path and it is clearly to our detriment and the detriment of freedom, ask the protesters in hong kong, ask the uighurs, the minority group that is being persecuted and put into slave labor camps, the chinese will do anything they can to oppose dissent and crackdown on diss
