book great power politics in the 4th industrial revolution and in budapest we crossed in georgia said you well he was a pot caster i think which can be found on you tube and rumble originally crossed out rules in effect that music can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it i mean let's go to glenn 1st and. the by did ministration using media as telegraph the administration is considering some cyber attacks in one form or another against russia remarkably they're telling the world they're going to do this here why is this a bad idea as i said in my introduction because i think there's a law of unintended consequences if we start down this path go ahead. well it's their craziest story and for many reasons like 1st the u.s. government has leaked to the media that it's launching a secret attack on iraqi government ever think about again if it is if it is secret i tell abroad and the reason is because russia haas probably attacked them again probably not in the clear evidence. and it will it again is probably it behind a cyber attack against the u.s. again this is also very strange term mikasa. teaching as the cyber warfare and all for a few years and it is actually her calling to confuse this topics is not. referring to cyber espionage and a cyber attack is very different it's sent it's like someone spying on their companies and you're on them it is very different concepts i lumping them together is a bit of a magic so it is a way and on many many levels and it's something that is unclear is this for domestic consumption or is this our own biden see it on the u.s. is back will assert ourselves in our show on global leadership. or eastern strategy at all who might not be in on behind the wheel are definitely people coaching that ministration different ways what is clear is russia will have to respond and not doing so well as we can talk about how many consequences worse than it actually does retaliates one has to retaliate and the problem is there's no mechanism seminar for controlling this this no way to. control this conflict so it will very easily spin out of control so it is dangerous and problematic on i guess many many levels and so bizarre george i mean since when and i guess i can answer my own question since when is most likely in a highly probable the billiton is a test to get to engage in a in an action here and this is what they're doing it and we'll talk about how the russia game hoaxes blend into policy here but i mean this is the litmus test here this is so bizarre because there can always be a retaliation and then there could be a not another attack i mean when where does this go and if you hitting telecommunications how do you know when to stop lindsay and got to say ok and uncle it just is so bizarre go ahead jim. well he's actually right because this cyber warfare is indeed completely destructive i mean there is absolutely no net gains for either side to engage in it that is something different from espionage i mean all states conduct espionage but simply just straw inc other countries networks simply goals ing. destruction and chaos for the other side there's really no end goal to this and 3 as you say once you tamper with communications then you're already messing with the most important thing that your reading needs in a confrontation between the united states and russia the ability to communicate and to bring to an end any kind of conflict i mean remember the. frightening days of the cuban missile crisis in $1602.00 it was fortunate for the world that. moscow and washington were able to communicate and doesn't bring a potentially devastating confrontation to an end but suppose that in a war against their communication system they wouldn't have been able to communicate and who knows how it might have ended up so this is an absolutely pointless at all levels can gleni did it my sense is this is domestic politics syrian because when it's happened is they need to talk about it numerous times the news programs and the russia game modes is led into policies of this is an extension of keeping the hoax alive and in a minute new legation because the way it was leaked to the media. in secret in all this this is showing that be the bite ministration is keeping up their guard you know and you know and you know i mean a tough call with you in all this i mean is it is it richelle because you know if you if you work in the realm. most highly likely most probable let me know why you don't when you know it says the 3rd party had some guy in his garage somewhere who knows where during their it's ok and particularly if you telegram over the next few weeks and a 3rd party over the next few weeks there's no money then those they will use that in the new york you need to do the new york down and so you get it you see how crazy the since bill had well there was also a said it's possible that this is for the mess they call theirs because their message from washington ross said that well as for the general population this will not be noticed it will only be picked up by the kremlin like are no russian security services so again if no one will notice it and its secret too i would you tell the general public of the general public so i guess it's some of that reflects the domestic politics officer because i've been saying for a just an article in a week on russia that he would be tough so are there has the domestic component but again it could also be a more an international component as well to allies same guy days that the world has moved on beyond the us it's no how could reassert his global primacy so this could be a way of showing that we will take on rising powers head on but again it's a message was directed toward the russian government which are supposed to be the only one who knows about this or will let experienced it. i would have chosen a different medium than the new york times it seems to be a very wide again it's it is it is problematic for many reasons and who did this attack i mean it very well could be russia i mean the u.s. and russia do spy on each other it could also be foreign powers such as china and as you mentioned politics it by the wants to scale back the economic or it would make sense not to on finger at the chinese but again it could also be united states i mean before and on to accuse me of conspiracy if there is it is the job of intelligence agencies such as the cia to collect them from ish information and spreading from. this information i mean this is the job description and i believe it documents through easily it's done a straight this is actually the tools the cia has. you know demonstrated that the cia hacking tools they use a way to leave behind digital footprints that deliberately have const orse russia so of course not only the united states have these tools and we've got a good russia as well it's just whenever you see it probably there's reasons to be concerned because we all remember the big stories the hysteria about russia the tough the us electric grid and it turned out to be completely wrong and even by the u.s. on a mission out to what the story. not to be did you have evidence to have evidence that it wasn't true again as you pointed out this well after 5 years of russia getting into american president agents of the crown. i think some healthy skepticism is reasonable although again i took my dog and it could very well be russia is just of this now with these people these people are simply not reasonable and george you know the the fundamental problem with all of this is that if it was just confined to state actors then i could see a little bit of the logic to it and the bluster and you know and america's back you know on joe has been all that but the truth there is so many other actors that can be involved in this here and let's say somehow gets weak because somebody wants to pound their chest and say you know we got the ruthie's and then that's an admission that they did something and then the electricity grid in michigan goes down and they say well who did that you see when and if it could be anyone it could be someone in michigan for all we know not a foreign power so if it once it's no longer confined to state actors this is chaos go ahead yes yes yes and. we know that there had been these are ridiculous stories that. mention the. grit and you know all the talk about how the russian act you. west voting system a completely bogus you know that you are us that got into the rush of the body to the kinds of the voting information systems so we know that you know there are all these nonsensical stories that are being run about but what happens is if there is some disaster somewhere what happens if there is a meltdown in some house station well the 1st thing everyone's got back to russia i mean we already had a couple of winters ago rachel maddow album it was this very cold spell in the midwest like oh look maybe russia behind all 'd of this you know it would be in their interest to have all these grannies raising the debt so you know in the event of the such a disaster the really. civil airline is cracking me there because there are some law in the air traffic control system it must be russia therefore let us escalate because that is an act of war i mean to say that they messed up with the ex not the control system and as a result you know who knows how many people died that's an act of war and america will be obligated to rich daddy ate as an actor i think you're absolutely right england is really you know the what what is an active force in the eye of the holder at this point is we're really in new territory when it comes to this type of . weapon use but you know i think let's look at the origins of the solar winds you know because they were they were hacked and attacked apparently and when it became it's come out since that the password for that entire operation was solar winds 123 which was in turn that if it weren't there had released it on to the internet so now you have what's the population of the world that's on the internet any one of those people could have been involved in hacking solar wind this is why this is really you nonsensical because no one has explained to us what is your probability what is your evidence when the password itself was public knowledge. yeah it's. a digital exploiting kind of you have to dig in to this story because the mainstream media is not going to tell you these things ok if you're interested smart people will do it that's why there are times releases it because they're just a conduit for you know there are no anonymous sources i'm sorry keep going yeah well i do agree with force you know there is a real need to set up rules doesn't apply punishment if those rules are broken in cyberspace the problem is we need to actually have a format for us all and the u.s. itself has been quite reluctant while sitting down with russia and coming up with some kind of a way on what rules to have and how they can mean force. the problem is to continue the continued as you want to got it to be not states which implies that the format for the force and the u.s. should not accept agreements based on mutual constrains instead the u.s. should instead police the rest of the world now this is very problematic because the u.s. is not some administrator or some teacher or some policeman who. you know fixing bad behavior they are also engaged in this and indeed you can also refer to the possibly it's one of the worst cyber aggressors for a member of the south it's not enough you know they're going to have to go to a break you know and as with we've been we all know you know agreement incapable is what one was not going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion some real news day. interest rates have created a divide and it said really the grounds for a new civil war i think because those who are allowed to get those 0 percent interest rates are i get them through political favoritism not through america those who are being subjected to high interest rates and and being cut out of the asset market it does also pull out of. a ploy by those in power to get more for themselves and to destroy the fabric of the economy and that's heading into serious trouble. one of the worst mass shootings in america was in less vegas in 2017 the tragedy exposed a little of the real last big many say elected officials are controlled by casino owners the degas shooting reveal where the l.g.m. p.d. really and now it's part of the stand as sheen to the american public barely remembers that happened just shows you the power of money and lost. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades and then you have a mayor who doesn't care so here's caroline goodman offering the lives of the vegas residents to the control group to the shiny facades concealed deep indifference to the people could have been saved if they were taken action absolutely keep the registering machines doing is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being watched. and considered i'm peter a little for a month we're talking about some real news. ok let's go to georgia now and change gears. if the buy diminish ration is very very new very young though the president united states is. spoken to the nation once was about what's called the cobra stimulus package that has almost nothing to do with coverage but nonetheless no schedule for the state of the union address and we know that. that camilla harris the vice president is taking calls with foreign leaders and just give one reason to give give pogs to see you know who's who who's head of ship here who's the captain of the outfit because it looks like the president is very distant and distant and you know there we're not getting evidence to think otherwise george. yes it is indeed very strange because let's remember during the the nomination process and then during the general election general biden wrote sold to the public as a good old uncle joe the centrist the moderate the safe pair of hands but in fact this administration of which he presides and he just seems to me this strange elderly figure when was wearing a death mosque when it whenever he has he doesn't even physically look anything like you know fight 10 years ago so this strange figure who comes. just doesn't look as if he is in charge of anything because this is a very radical agenda that the this administration the story follow radical than that of barack obama who was seen to be in some ways someone from the liberal wing of the party unlike biden i mean we're talking about him one day changing in the electoral system we're talking about this $1.00 trillion dollar package which reintroduces. welfare payments to single mothers which was the abolition of which was the singular achievement of the new democrats of the 1990 s. the bill clinton era so that's just been abolished now. we have extraordinary immigration policy again far more drastic than anything barack obama visits that clearly planning on a mass and a safe and they've removed all of the restrictions on people coming into the country so and i think in foreign policy as well maybe it will come to that i think a very radical foreign policy is in the works so you then are if you ask how did we come about that this apparent moderate who was sold to us as a moderate is presiding over a very radical administration well george you if you look at the entire mind on joe biden's. in the senate and we used today's standards and measurements he's a conservative. democrat i'm running i'm sorry a liberal republican that's what his voting record it's good only for him because if given the corpus of his political life and what we were sold during the campaign once was masts nice wheats ok because george's ounce of will be right the things the executive orders that he signed and the end game we can talk about foreign policy in the border mean he had we have no idea of his thoughts on any of these issues during the campaign which maybe was intentional because they wanted the anti-trust they got the end from but now the mask is coming down and that's really why i want to do this segment is because this is the joe biden we know i mean one of the 1st things he signs isn't you know with young women and a different definition of gender i mean he's never talked about that his entire political career but it's one of the 1st things he signs so who's making these decisions boos riding up these executive orders which he knew police audience well i had none. well i'm not sure if this part of you know joe biden's. evolution as a politician or if it just as going you know beat him to want direction or. if he is this is simply an empty vessel being filled by a divided political party going in different directions i mean the whole idea comes of the model idea about joe biden's mental health it is an interesting also become a controversial issue because on the political left this i know this is a conspiracy in oregon the easiest series fully there but the conservative media and us is quite insistent that you know again he's i'm to mess all these he doesn't know much at all these his condition is the climbing quite rapidly and being influenced very much while the polls and it's all now again you can try to look for objects the ways of assessing this again he's out of the public for very long time this is again unusual also it's worth noting that i think if i'm not mistaken he hasn't had his own press conference now for much if anything he's more than 60 days and very very unusual. you can see that if if there was an expectation that. you know that camel hire some would have to step in and cover for him or even eventually replace him you can see very good indications on this i mean come out here is as you mentioned come all harris is taking or communication with 4 leaders they met with over the phone at least with mccrone franson on the oh is israel at again this is very very unusual for an american vice presidents to do i'm not familiar with any instance of this before also reading the white house statements about the meetings and i'll go on with them to be very interesting like the white house writes president come all hurry spoke today wait a better president my car on the france expressed her commitment just strengthening bilateral ties and the person. speaking on behalf of i came up. and. going to talk this is extraordinary how unusual to take a meeting so foreign leaders again why the reference to our commitment is not even speaking on his behalf in a more and also this morning reference us should have by the iris of ministration indicating some kind of a jewel in quote our ship so it is well it is unusual that silo. is mental health but if he was you know not fully there seems to be some strong indications that this could be the case well ga the one could say this is proof you know you get around to speed you know that did it and i think that's a kind of a subliminal message that's being sent out here you know to get around to speed again you know when when major legislation is in the rose garden the president very often has the vice president there but other 2 other things no i mean you don't have very rarely does the vice president hover ok we have see a lot of hovering right now in a black mask ok again you can see they can sell this with that we doubt saying it we're just being prudent here or maybe this is what the plan was all along i don't know what are your thoughts but i think that that may well have been the plan all along not only does she. everywhere another is it the case as going to doubt that in every statement of emanating from the bike demonstrations were always referred to as the biden harris administration which is something you know no one is you know 100 military that will go bomb and buy me a premier not me obama. but even more remarkably if you read the transcript of any speeches that biden the live as biden often misspeaks he often misread the teleprompter they transcript bucks in what he actually said and then puts in the correction next to it. this is it suggests the someone in the white house wants to show the well hey biden isn't really all that he's not even able to read the. script. that you know that no question i think one has to say that the democrats don't believe that biden will last through sunday he won last through to the 2024 election but there are real questions about whether he will even last through to the midterms so they kind of actually waiting for harris to step in and they have to go back to who is radio running the show who has decided to pursue this very radical agenda and i think be to you and i have spoken in the past 1 and we have some suspicions that it's barack obama and people that obama has planted into the white house such as biden susan susan rice biden's domestic policy advice well guy you know what. george just stole my wind there but average susan rice is the worst name that comes up with me because she's been placed in the day as head of easy basically did the primary adviser for domestic policy which she's never really had any real formal experience but she's quote unquote a foreign policy person a deplorable one at that but that's that's her area but that it seems to me that your wrecked pipeline to the obama orbit is everything that's going on in the in the bike ministration you know i'm sure this being sent out here i mean it seems like that's a strategically important place in his administration having someone of that caliber that important in the position. well there was a biden's election campaign and he was not strong he would go back to normal and a normal was. barack obama administration so again this effort. to sell in his presidency term for obama. you know that it is also very clearly the communication was earlier on so again bringing on board a lot of the obama people seems. i guess naturally if he wants to go back to the obama years. again i. think joe biden did play a very important role and got in the office if that is true and also it is it is problematic because people differ get that if they did not care for trying to have to remember that he after 2. terms of obama the american people sent let's go with trump just time let's go if this is a reality star let's roll the dice because. obama is not just popular as often he's ok that at least in the european media there's been very deep seated resentment towards this president special on the political right so that also recently obama was followed by trump so this is an effort to recreate that ministration it could be problematic although i would agree that i. don't like to speculate but if i would i would also not expect biden to finish this 1st term. but i would it would also expect that to try to get him so he starts terry face to be replaced simply because. you have to give him. are a small experience and legit a message to go on that she did not how much democratic support in the primaries had to wait joy i just wonder were early yeah one percent you know he had to drop now even before state right mary yes we're the ones that are into the presidency now it would not look good so i would expect at least game are given by no one near you for your replay. i guess. would be wrong but that's what i would expect given one year of college comes when he sent you george. called the strike on syria is calling this is. not the russian you think it's you know 15 seconds. i don't think that it is. i think that it's lloyd austin and jake sullivan who are doing it. 1 but they can really takes all of them who is a whole walk from the down to us again or. foreign policy adviser so i would say that it's emanating from them ok gentlemen thank you very much want to thank my guests in austin when in budapest and when i think our viewers watching us here in r.t.c. next time remember. that's right the stand. alone one has. said i'm in love with the brother i thought for a kid that. only i let them paddle and. i can keep an. eye on floozy china for console and. then let's. get this whole full push push for gun the un you say you have to pay off big time in syria this is. a. mile farther than half the facts on this mr hague to try jim and then we'll i hope that our friend in the course. shows seem wrong when old rules just don't hold. any belief yet to stamp out disdain becomes agitated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. france italy germany and now spain suspend the use of the u.k.'s astra zeneca vaccine over blood clot fear. that comes despite the e.u. admitting further flaws in its facts in its vaccination program with member states outraged at the way the shots are being distributed. meanwhile more european countries consider russia sputnik the vaccine and companies prepared to start their own production lines of the shot gets approval in the block. and after a decade of devastating war in syria we look at how the conflict has changed lives and what the future may hold for the country.
