Think we all are right we all have bad moments when were just talking among friends or family no no no no no no this is a public official who called a News Conference to announce this thing that he says by now it seems the whole world knows that the reason that the corona virus is so insidious is because you dont have to have symptoms you dont have to be symptomatic to pass it on in other words anybody and young people especially as weve said probably a 1000000 times on this newscast can show absolutely no symptoms. 2 but still be a carrier and pass on the disease to somebody else. Again everybody who watches the news listens or talks to their doctor or Public Health officials knows this right. Everybody that is but the governor of georgia in the good old usa who presides over by the way the 8th biggest state in the United States of america with a population of roughly 8000000 people brian camp thats his name he called a News Conference to announce that hes now going to go ahead and order all residents to stay home why because he just found out that people who. Just because youre not symptomatic doesnt mean that you cant pass on the disease he just found this out listen you know fine and now this virus is now transmitting before people see signs. Well weve been telling people from directives from the c. D. C. For weeks now that if you start film bad stay home those individuals could have been infected people before they ever felt bad we didnt know that until the last 24 hours and his daughter to me told me she goes this is a game changer game changer he found this out 24 hours ago. Heres our mark twain better lets better him than me right maybe the greatest and plainest writer who ever picked up a pen and paper would describe a public official who calls a News Conference to announce what he just learned heres twain or Samuel Clemens as he was ringback also called pen name advice to the governor it is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think youre a fool than to open it and remove all doubt by the way now why is this important because we live now and we here in the media. Especially here in the United States have been pointing out the missteps or the criticisms as well we should of leaders all over the world. And some of them have been doozies by the way. Its important maybe for us at this point to realize that we dont really have to go that far to find Public Officials worthy of criticism theres a lot to talk about on this day good bad indifferent this is the news with rick sanchez were so glad youre there joining us from all over the world where here as we like to say its time to do news again. You know the list the list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow will russia join the world in extending its stay at home order through april is sweden really bucking the global trend of allowing and citizens to just move about how about germany how is the e. U. Used largest member dealing with this corona virus. As you well know all this week we are bringing you special coverage of the corona virus with updates from around the world that everything you need to know to protect yourself and your family information really is key here by the way tonight the war of words between state officials in new york federal officials in the white house its gotten ugly downright vicious at times it began when new york senator Chuck Schumer criticized the president for being behind the 8 ball behind on testing and for failing to appoint a czar the president shot back with a tweet saying please explain do crying Chuck Schumer that we do have a military man in charge of distributing goods a very talented admiral all of this going on as the world is on the brink of hitting a milestone in the coronavirus pandemic joining us now from our global coronavirus update desk is ben swan following all developments for us what is the latest ben. Yeah its pretty incredible record were about to hit huge milestone when it comes to the corona virus and this milestone is different than the one we talked about last hour last hour we mentioned about the fact that were about to hit a 1000000 people infected but this one as of tomorrow 50 percent of the worlds population of all of humanity will be locked down imagine that for a 2nd 50 percent of all the people on planet earth are underneath some kind of lockdown right now its pretty incredible isnt it yeah thats amazing number i had thought of it that way but thats you know thats one of those things that happens only once in a lifetime never heard of anything like that. Yeah. Ive never heard of anything like it either and what i think is somewhat startling to some people is and again not to be insensitive but were talking about a virus that as of right now has claimed 47000 lives worldwide 47000 and yet half the worlds population is under orders of a lockdown that they cant leave their homes are not supposed to gather in groups of 10 or more its pretty remarkable and then theres another pretty interesting headline making news this hour rick and i want to get your thoughts on this as well this one is actually that the pentagon and the department of defense actually warned about this exact event 2 years ago and when i say exact of an i mean specifically warning about a coronavirus a Novel Coronavirus novel meaning new to humans that could emerge that could create a worldwide pandemic and as part of that warning the pentagon and apartment of defense essentially said the u. S. Is not ready to take on Something Like this we wont have enough ventilators or masks in fact if you take a look at some of the the documents here it says this that this threat most likely will be a significant threat it will be a novel respiratory disease particularly a novel influenza disease it went on to say that corona virus infections are common throughout the world it also says that comp. Titian for and scarcity of resources will include nonpharmaceutical in c. M. Medical countermeasures ventilator devices personal protective equipment such as face masks and gloves medical equipment and Logistical Support so 2 years ago there was a warning coming from the pentagon saying we may see a Novel Coronavirus and if it hits the u. S. Is not ready we dont have enough ventilators respirators or face masks and yet here we are about 2 years ago now ben sean what does that remind you of because i know what it reminds me of in fact im going to tell you what it reminds me of i have a feeling i know go ahead terrorists planning to use planes to attack the United States remember that one thats right we ignored all the warnings have been good all the warnings were given cash wow interesting thanks for bringing us that. You got it. On with the very latest on the coronavirus update desk you know its funny to see stuff like that now and look back in hindsight sometimes its about planning it really is thank you ben. Host of the world according to the jesse here on our team america joining us fresh from a well deserved it it says governor Jesse Ventura so heres the i have to ask you because you were a governor a damn good one i think and theres a governor now in georgia and there are about others but this particular governor in georgia i dont know if youve got the top of our story said he just now found out that people who are not symptomatic can actually spread the disease what do you make of that. Well and make rick obviously the guy was asleep at the wheel. Thats the only thing i can say i mean i just came back from mexico where i live an hour from pavement and an hour from electricity i have no Television Contact i live it is remotely as you possibly can and even though i knew this new this all the way down to mexico off the grid an hour from pavement an hour from electricity no radios no televisions and yet i was aware that people who didnt show symptoms could pass this disease on all i can say is georgia good luck with your governor seriously though i do think someone in that position and im sure you did it when you were governor you have people around you who are smart in their particular area this is a time to listen to doctors and scientists right do you think from what youve seen too many politicians are trying to just blab their opinions out there rather than listening to the people who are supposed to know this stuff. Well youve got to remember something brains are being smart and paying attention isnt a prerequisite all youve got to do is commit to these 2 parties show loyalty to these 2 parties. To get elected they dont care if you are intelligent or not they just want you to win and so obviously the. This guy could do that he won in georgia a very close race i bet a lot of people in georgia now are questioning their vote well we dont want to hammer him too much but i do want to ask you this is a unique situation for you i dont know too many people whove been away and then suddenly came back to this new america whats happening like for you governor. Its pretty strange ill give it to your rick what happened we were down in mexico and like i said i live remotely on the tip of the down there and what happened was the Mexican Government they didnt they didnt force us but they asked all the americans or people from the United States and canada to please just go home because they didnt have the capability it hasnt hit there yet but they felt that if it did hit the air they wont have the capability to take care of their own people much less all of us so i took that under consideration i actually left a week ahead of time i drove all the way back and i got to tell you this record traveling across the country right now is wonderful theres a lot of theres nobody out there are there are there well theres people on the roads the trucks are out there but not at the level that you expect them to be at the hotels none of the hotels are full you dont have to worry about getting a room the head area there are a dime a dozen of course the gas stations with the price of gas now i was paying a buck 73. 00 driving home pan for gas so actually i say this i dont encourage people to stay at home but right now theres a magnificent time to travel because everythings wonderful now heres one for you to think about rick do you think when this is all or do you think when all of this is lifted that gas prices of them going to shoot up to 4. 00 a gallon because theyre low now because nobody nobody needs to buy any gas but watch what happens once the damage is over youre going to see gas prices go through the roof are you suggesting some kind of artificial manipulation of the market no Something Like that would never happen got better. Kidding of course ill leave that to you ill leave that to you and you speculate out of. It out of Jesse Ventura its always a great pleasure to be able to have the. Conversation. This is the news with rick sanchez and youre watching a special. Im going to be right back. In london Julian Assange standing trial on whether he will be extradited to the u. S. To face espionage charges the stakes could not be higher libya even life is on the line freedom of speech is also on trial though you wouldnt know the mainstream media. And its community there are people who believe that its ok. Its really hard there are no jobs and you see the kids. And as a parent. I can come up with arguments theres a lot of conflict within the game between the 2 most of the conflict i would say over the money and money has made. Us want to know. Each other is good because the state of california alone makes 6000000000. 00 a year of prison. Life where. You dont care. Anything. Micrographs friends arent slights against you know whites or men for example theres their slights against women or nonwhites so its always you know the idea is that statements that directed toward a Privileged Group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward an oppressed group and so thats kind of the whole framework and its its a political framework thats used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and saying rather than ignore more than we need to call attention to them but its not so its a very political in this context. I want to back im rick sanchez time to move over to germany now how is the largest member dealing with coronavirus the reports are generally good lets go to berlin peter all of the following things for us there. The word is that germany has been more i repaired than most right. Well you could see its more prepared you could see that a lot of that prepared this was already built into the German Economy actually just listened a little while ago to the British Foreign so i beg your pardon British Health secretary the minister for health there and he was saying one of the reasons that they were so prepared compared to germany was a lot of the. The Research Facilities a lot of the little trees to deal with testing and things like that and when it comes to these type of diseases these type of viruses are actually located here in germany so theyve been knocking noise out even at even faster rate that they were already what we have seen though is really. That the way this social distancing has been put in place here seems to really be working to an extent its something that hasnt upset germans too much in fact there was a study by the university of montana im asking germans what they thought of the new measures that have been put in place 95 percent they said they supported completely the stopping of all Public Events 92 percent said they supported the closure of Public Services but when people were asked if they supported see a full on lockdown situation like weve seen in italy in spain in france well 41 percent only said they back that now we have seen one of these type of full lockdown situations being put in place in the state of bavaria also in the state of zol and what were expecting to see is that measures across germany will remain in place at least until the 19th of april angle americal was speaking on wednesday she said that fully enough that 19th dated coincides with what would have been the date most school kids would have been going back to school we are expecting that day to be extended because the chancellor did say that this pandemic does not recognize any holidays that would have been of course the easter holidays that would be returning from there what we have heard on thursday though and were lation to social isolating and stopping travel and everything like that is that 40000. 00 Seasonal Workers from outside of germany will be allowed to travel into germany to work in the agriculture industry this is to stop crops basically that need to be picked from rotting in the fields weve also heard of those they 15000 german troops deployed around the country i can tell you i live not too far away from the crank analysis one of the main Army Hospitals in in germany its a Specialist Hospital as well and. The amount of soldiers that ive seen around there is its ramped up massively over the past few days and lots of signs as well saying theyre not to be filmed what these 15000. 00 soldiers are going to be doing though is that going to be protecting Critical Infrastructure theyre also going to be distributing medical equipment as well as establishing temporary hospitals in fact thats what look a lot of the work that ive seen them doing has been exactly that setting up tents where tests can be carried out on the financial side in germany were pointing out a little tip to the state of berlin which has paid out already 900000000 euro in 5000 euro grants to freelancers and Small Businesses that have been affected by this already germany seems to have got a bit of a quickstep on testing people but also on getting cash to those who are really feeling the pinch when it comes to not only the effect the corona virus has on the health of nations but also the economy as well good stuff and what i think you mentioned what im sure you know the ratio of ventilators per citizen in germany is one of the best in the world which maybe is why they have the comfort zone if you will great report thanks so much for bringing us that well be in touch. As we mentioned at the top of the hour there is a popple friction between state governments and the federal government and today that really came to light in New York New York seems to be struggling with its ability to keep up with its very dense population having enough medical supplies to meet the demand and they even did something which some would consider extreme today when it comes to heart attack patients heres trinity child us. Today officials tightening restrictions in new york as the city remains on lockdown you know right now as you can see new york city is usually pretty busy right now but its Governor Andrew Cuomo ordering all playgrounds in new york city to close. Down saying that many people still are not complying with social distancing we agreed initially with the mayor that we would try compliance and the mayor was going to try to use the n. Y. P. D. To enforce compliance social distancing in playgrounds it is still a problem were going to close down the city playgrounds and leave the open Spaces Available as the number of new coronavirus cases continue to batter new york city with more than 270 deaths and nearly 4000. 00 cases reported in 24 hours doctors on the front lines of the pandemic warning that hospitals are increasingly overwhelmed unfortunately i just think that this is a situation thats going to be going all around all over every hospital unfortunately begin to see this happen hospital in queens in the borough with the most coronavirus cases in the city possibly hit the hardest the 545 bed facility full with kovan 1000 patients its terrifying here because were downwind of this of a hospital thats a percent of the of the National Crisis so yeah im terrified to go out officials now issuing new guidance for m. S. Workers in the city and long island saying that patients in cardiac arrest would not be transported to hospitals if they cannot be saved in the field at the hospital itself there overrun with patients you know. Last night broke a record we handle 6500 calls and while the Navy Hospital ship comfort and the iconic central park try to relieve the burden already seeing patients new york city mayor bill de blasio says that the city needs thousands of more hospital beds we need to build out an additional number of 65000 hospital beds in the city of new york by the end of april. We already have a tremendous start a 20000 beds i say they are already there the governor war. In the crisis could last for months and causes many as 16000 deaths if this model is correct. This could go through the summer officials ramping up testing with more than 238000 people tested with the number of total confirmed cases in new york surpassing 90000 the governor says the number is expected to grow in the coming weeks as they continue to increase testing so far 600000 test kits from a general and corning have become available and another 500000 tests are coming soon reporting in new york Trinity Chavez r t. Lets go over to europe now we mentioned this earlier in the newscast this is fascinating sweden the country of sweden has taken a very laid back approach when it comes to lock downs and quarantines and social isolation very different from the rest of the world and were going to talk about that but theres another country we want to talk about right now russia where president putin took to the microphone this morning and made another announcement about what his strategy or his governments strategy will be moving forward. To tell you you need to understand that the question remains can you put into my resume a solicitously the people have been demonstrating has not yet passed in the world around you country did not see taking this into account when taking the decision to use than the one you were collision going to the end of your money seat april 30th so there you have 6 it president putin essentially saying hes pushing everything to april 30th which by the way and we should mention George Galloway joining us now where you see there on the screen thats pretty much in keeping with what everybody else is doing it we were originally thinking about maybe the end of march then we pushed it to the middle of april and now everybody saying the end of april so its kind of in keeping with whats going on now i dont think a big news story there the real story is in sweden d where theyre essentially saying theyre not going to lock down their citizens what do you make of that george. Will it is a tremendous gamble if it comes off the government of sweden the politicians in sweden will be 4 of our and in a good way if it doesnt come off it will be the hanging all of them the people of sweden will tell their government down if the less safe they are approach which they have taken in contradistinction to every other government in the world. Doesnt come off doesnt come off then it will have to be the swedish people of the big losers but their leaders they havent closed bars they havent closed restaurants you can gather in groups saw. It was until a day or 2 ago groups of 500 was that you can go about more or less your normal life. Policy in sweden a famously liberal place but one with many tensions in these days of big immigration and big red. Flows and so on so there are a lot of stress points a lot of rice in Swedish Society the government have taken a very very big risk rick yeah i guess what theyre saying is look as horrible as this sounds there are older people who are going to die anyway this might hasten their. We think the risk of stopping everything might be greater so we think our Health Care System can handle with a sudden rush of so many people getting sick all at once man thats a hell of a gamble george. It is its fine of unless the old parson in question is your mother or mother. Its a eugenicist approach its the approach championed by the reverend thomas mottoes in the 19th century who argued these things necessary from a epidemics to cut down the parts of the population that im not Strong Enough to withstand them its not something that some of vive not see either eugenics fell out of favor out of became a shameful thing but im afraid among some politicians it is the secret thinking in some places not so secret. Johnson came up with the. Immunity even donald trump described as crazy yet George Galloway as usual a wise man smart man who is able to have these conversations and even bring back the mileage malthusian theories from that were long gone thank you george as usual appreciate your time and there the milestone has been reached there are now 1000000 official kovac by Team Positive cases the world over will be back again. Those questions. I cant show you my face but im going to teach you must or 99 t. Serine this man was sentenced to death. They could charged with capital murder even though he didnt have the gun didnt pull the trigger didnt intend to kill anybody maj in the beginning your best for the week with the scent of a 23. I doubt that he deserved to be. Confined within the green walls he fights using which can help him to leave death row. Greetings and sal you taste welcome one and all to the next chapter of the great pandemic of 2020 and what have the previous chapters in this book shown us now well you have a variety of bad big adjectives to choose from really you have strange frightening inspiring courageous creepy me personally the adjective i like most of the scribe the last few weeks of this pandemic is. Revealing yes revealing you see because its in times of great stress obstacles and fear that often show us who we really are especially who are chosen leaders really are. Like us congressman richard burr who in his position of Senate IntelligenceCommittee Chairman heard the news of the impending pandemic before the rest of us and chose to save his own ass sets while selling our physical and financial safety up the river or what about the United States department of justice who instead of seeking to help protect all of us is instead taking a page out of the bush administrations post 911. 00 playbook and is looking to decimate our legal and Constitutional Rights under cover of National Catastrophe politico is now reporting that according to recently uncovered documents submitted by the d. O. J. To congress that the Justice Department has proposed that Congress Grant the attorney general power to ask the chief judge of any District Court to pause court proceedings
