Come on ill show you heres an air force base in alaska this is interesting that this move is taking place right now its right there at the base that the have 30 fives are going to be drawing meaning the 6 teams and what else do they have there they have 169. 00 air refueling units so its a big operation that theyre going to have there now whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area the 1st thing obviously to look at is russia right why well geography and history both play into this story look at how close sometimes we forget just how close russia and the United States are to each other maybe as close as any other country out there when you really zoom in and thats what i want to do i want to zoom in for you take a look at this thing that we just discovered there are 2 little while and right here in between the edge of russia. The edge of alaska one of those islands is called the big di i mean island and the other one is called di i mean island or little diabete island so this is big this is little di made this one belongs to russia this one over here belongs to the United States you know what the distances between those like to want to have 2 miles thats like 40 football fields or approx with that many fields thats how small the distance is between these 2 countries so thats the geography now lets talk about the history which is predicated by a way by a cat and mouse game thats been truly played out by both sides in fact you want to see what im talking about ive got video i want to show you take a look at this video here it is look at this video that you see right here canadian fighters u. S. Fighters all a part of norad chasing away a russian surveillance plane thats the one that you see right there right thats called a teacher you won 42 but norad fighter jets there f. A. Teens and f. 22 that as you can see in the video the smaller planes are chasing away the bigger planes is another one coming right here this video was put out by norad by the way in this area which is called the alaskan own by the way this is very recent its not like this happened a long time ago and the whole thing lasted about 4 hours lets go back to the map now if we possibly can because i want to talk a little bit about the history and speaking of the history this type of thing that i just showed you this is been going on for more than half a century during the cold war and after the cold war someone asked why after the cold war we still doing this kind of stuff the answer gets a little complicated but were going to be joined by an expert whos going to take us through this in just a little bit so is it really about tensions with russia though the key word here is new new tensions maybe not remember this area right here has been americas bastion of Oil Production and alaska relies on the price of oil always being high. Why do you think sarah palin for example was such a popular governor when all this was filled with oil wells the price of oil was 120. 00 a barrel was it hard to be popular today theyre lucky if they get 0 were also going to drill down on that coming up so is the u. S. Creating a military industry in alaska to bolster the states lackluster economy that it has right now thats one opinion or one way of looking at it heres another one heres another one to look at alaskas remoteness with so many u. S. Military personnel cramped quarters all over the world many of them right now succumbing to covert 19 years alaska a perfect respite for the u. S. To put many of its military personnel this is important with a map this out were going to drill down on this story right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know we say thats all the time and we mean that we work hard because we believe. It really is time to do news again. What do you say we ask the questions that you may be asking tomorrow and here we go what is the reason for the United States increase military presence in alaska does it have to do with russia well europe soon implement kobe had 19 immunity passports you heard that right immunity passports and my pants without a mask in a hospital what does larry king think of this. Lets go ahead and get right to our top story with the u. S. Military move to some more fighter jets into alaska 1st the background and the details of the story as we know it right now here 1st is hard to correspondent john howdy. The 1st 4 and 35 fighter jets landed this weekend ill see an air force base in alaska deployed from the 354th Operations Group and the air force says that prior to. Appointment the alaska wing was sending its pilots and personnel out for training at other bases but the covert 19 pandemic ended that program the Associated Press reports that the base expects to receive 54 jets and an additional 1300 personnel by december 2 10212 squadrons of f. 35 days will join the reactivated 356 Fighter Squadron with the 18th Aggressor Squadron of f. 16 and the 168th air refueling wing u. S. Senator Lisa Murkowski of alaska said in a statement that the addition of the jets is a milestone for the arctic writing quote the importance the squadrons of f. 35. 00 will play in our National Defense while also providing our a man with incredible real world training is unparalleled while the kobe 1000 pandemic has reportedly played a part in the reason the jets are being deployed to alaska it also comes as russias military has been conducting continued exercises in the arctic region this video of russian Army Paratroopers jumping from a transport jet at close to 30000 feet above the arctic during a 3 day military exercise recently went viral Russian Spetznaz Special forces also took part in the training and earlier this month f. 22. 00 fighter jets and Canadian Air Force jets intercepted russian reconnaissance planes over the bering sea north of the Aleutian Islands the russian planes never entered u. S. Or canadian airspace but theyre part of a string of intercepts according to norad over the past few months senator dan sullivan of alaska added in the statement senator mitch koski that quote alaska is the most strategic place in the world and now with these 2 squadrons of f. 35 days our state will soon be home to more than 150 Generation Fighters americas adversaries will certainly think twice before engaging our country when faced with this unparalleled force and fire power war games and warnings aside i also an air force space has been gearing up for the addition of f. 35 since 2016 when the program was 1st announced so far more than 500000000. 00 has been appropriated for construction at the base located 26 miles. To fairbanks related to the addition of the f. 35 squadrons for the news of the Rick Sanchez John hardy. Thats great stuff john thanks so much for hustling get that story to us lets go over now 2 to. Former pentagon official what do you make of all of a sudden this increased u. S. Presence there that has a lot of people saying oh it must be theyre doing some offensive against russia or something is it. Necessarily there are 2 points id like to make number one there has been increased surveillance by the russians in that area for quite some time actually thats nothing new the more critical of the more strategic reason i think is that for some time now the russia has really paid very close attention to the importance of the strategic importance of the arctic and now the United States has finally come around to realize that and alaska is our most Northern Point to watch over the arctic because that whole area has opened up because of the melting of the ice that has become a transport area for a number of countries not only russia but also china and russia is way ahead of the United States in establishing bases in the arctic particularly in the russian area that adjoins to the to the arctic and its looking over their areas that theyre now claiming for resources very vital resources for Mining Minerals and what have you so that whole area is not only strategic youve got to keep in mind too that the arctic is when you look at it look downward and if you merchant is the arctic since it is the closest point to capitals in the world at the shortest point to all the peoples in the world if you were to fire a missile a Strategic Missile and youre wanting time would be negligible. Everythings r. C. And. No i would just paraphrasing what youre saying it goes back to Global Warming it goes back to the fact that suddenly there. Are going to be resources and lanes that never existed before russia is touted as it is already d there looking at it the United States wants to tap into whatever russia is tapping into this is fascinating the way you just laid this out for us mike what an amazing you know what were coming back to this is something you and i are going to drill down on some more thanks so much for for joining us mike maloof explaining putting it in perspective something that perplexed a lot of people thats why we have a god thats great part there is big news coming out of new york today from both the governor and the mayor Governor Cuomo lashed out at the white house and the federal government for only being interested in helping Corporate America leaving states like it is to barely have enough to protect police and Health Care Workers his words and for his part mayor de blasio is taking on hasidic jews in his community telling them that he will arrest them if they continue to violate rules against large gatherings we have all of this covered for you but theres also a big story thats coming out of berlin where the European Union is now announcing new rules as far as how you can travel from one place to another and it means get ready to have your temperature checked lets begin there heres peter all over. To visit to tourists attractions but if youre dreaming of seeing it anything else in the e. U. Any time soon you may well need a special type of sport as you are immune to the coronavirus the Tourism Sector has experienced an immense and unexpected decline in demand due to the break of the corona virus pandemic our mission is to be as members of the European Union and as part of the most successful to risk region in the world a leader in the recovery of tourism these municipal houseful of so just one of a number of ideas being discussed by the tourism minister as they try to find ways to mitigate the impact. On the holiday industry particularly. Here is the whole proviso that if you read 19 you come to some nations like greece which relies massively on holiday makers spending money to a very much on site with the plan there is 1. 00 quite significant. How can i say should say muni passports what i printed on at this point there is not enough evidence at all defectiveness antibody mediated immunity to guarantee the accuracy of an immunity passport or risk free certificate people who assume that they are immune to a 2nd infection made more Public Health advice the use of such a difficult made therefore increase the risks of continued transmission. Just so warning that you need to speak. To the health. Reality for Tourism Industry is without saying were seeing the future looks bright. The Vice President of the United States walks into a hospital probably the most prestigious hospital in the world hes told to wear a mask and chooses not to what does larry king think about this youre watching the news and rick sanchez thats coming up well be right back. This is like a horse race where its like a marathon there are 2 how did this country. Were doing a good artist events in this marathon and the question is which take me place to save lives and companies because its a matter of saving both. Seemed wrong. Why dont we all just dont. I mean the world to get to shape out these days to come out to and engage with equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. There is a really important story taking place right now in the world of sports steve chris tacos is here by golly to take us through this this really this really is important by the very cool and it doesnt have anything to do with coronavirus right although it may impact it at some point of course because were talking about College Sports right so the end c. W. A. Is now moving towards the board of governors adopted officially they met yesterday with this name image and Likeness Working Group and this morning they announced they released a statement saying that they have a move towards adopting recommendations to allow players College Players so amateurs to accept money for their name image and likeness they can be compensated now every man for himself basically you know theres a reason for those of you who may be watching who are either a not sports fans or dont understand the game United States because youre watching us from some other part of the world there are guys in the United States young men 1819 years old who have lost their scholarships lost their livelihoods not been able to play in the n. F. L. For example professional football because somebody bought them a free cup of coffee because they had a meeting with an agent that he bought him a soda seriously. For years guys like you and i i dont know have been laughing at these rules and saying this is this is not overreach its madness because they should be able to if they can profit off their own value they shouldnt have an asterisk by their name for the rest of their life it ruined some careers like some of the superstars were suspended for the last few games of their College Career because they signed an autograph for a 1000 bucks let me ask you a question just to give our audience a perspective of what were talking about a College Athlete lets say the star quarterback at alabama one of these schools how much money do you think he makes for the university exactly millions of course especially the millions of millions of dollars the n. C. A. A. Itself is a 1000000000. 00 industry and he makes about 7. 00 an hour if that way before they get free tuition is what some people say oh they get through to about 7. 00 an hour that i dont know if its not ok so tell us something. And i got excited about it i want you to tell us whats the ruling what will be absolutely they still have to write the rules its just the board of governors has agreed with this and i owe working groups to move forward with these but they still have to write the rules back to over 31st and then an official vote in january but its expected to go through now how athletes could be paid lets go through a basically 1st 3rd Party Endorsement such as promoting a product through t. V. A radio or advertisements now we know that kids are big social Media Influencers is a big thing if you want to be a social media influence on twitter instagram tick tock whatever it may be then you can you can do your own work or Business Activities through you tube or streaming it Digital Content using your own money want to pay you for your autograph or your name bet you are allowed to take money its your name you ought to write personal promotions with memorabilia its your name you can do that through meet and greets and there is no cap on the amount of money that you can receive but what were not talking about just to be clear is right were not talking about them being paid a salary exactly how theyre going to pay every athlete or not employees know many College Athletes most will make a dime from this but i superstars will as they should because theyre valuable yeah and you like it like everything in life right i tell this to my kids you should be paid for your value exactly what is your value right if a guy rings in millions of fans deserves millions of dollars actually the guy who plays on the you know womens. Softball team and nobody actually womens softball very popular make another choice but in those cases no maybe the the golf team might not you dont really know about college golf that much theyre not going to make as much an endorsement but until they go to the masters as an amateur and then suddenly and i said for the rest of the day thats a great story im so glad that you brought it to us thanks steve thats awesome all right lets go over now to our global coronavirus of theyve got our own superstar he was somehow missed by the n. B. A. And the n. F. L. Here that has won. But not by Major League Softball but youve got a couple of really interesting stories out there in this is probably the biggest one its going to impact people you really notice it on friday there is plans right now for a kind of. Joint strike to take place between amazon workers walmart workers insta cart workers target employees there are plenty all together in solidarity to strike together on friday at noon to say theyre going to walk out of warehouses and walk out of supply chains because they say essentially that those Big Companies are making a lot of money right now putting them at risk keeping them working in warehouses which they say are unsafe now obviously this affects a lot of just the average person out there with walmart and amazon and target in these Companies Say all of a sudden were going to stop delivering because the majority of the publics being told to stay at home and have things sent to you so what is their claim im not quite sure whats the argument that theyre making besides the fact that theyre working very difficult hours so they claim that theyre too close to other employees in the case of amazon those employees have been the most vocal they say 130 of their warehouses covered 1000 has been found and that the company is not doing enough to protect them or keep them safe and a lot of those employees are asking for higher pay in addition to that because they say theyre working in essentially high risk positions and theyre not being compensated for that while the company is making you know many more billions right now yeah right now in particular good stuff sound argument what else you got. Yes so this other story is the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell you know he keeps pushing through different bills and the funding bills well theres a new one now that he wants to push through essentially saying that he wants businesses that reopen to be shielded from legal liability if employees or customers get kovac 1000 so if you contract the coronavirus you cannot sue a company because they opened up or you cannot say it was a Sewer Company because you went back to work theyre essentially saying well protect those businesses which you know theres theres a positive in a negative that in terms of big corporations of people dont want to go back to they dont feel safe should they be forced but if you do reopen you know is it one of those situations where People Choose to come in and now they want to blame you. It should be like Everything Else i mean depends on how clinically clean you were i mean where you are asked did you have a disaster at your store and you knew it and you were following guidelines or did Somebody Just sneeze on you happen to be at the store right i mean well and thats why a lot of businesses right now requiring whether or not the cities are states that require it they are requiring the customers to wear face masks in order to walk into the building they say of youre not wearing a face mask in many cases youre not allowed inside here make rules and have everybody try and follow them i mean how hard should that be the other 30 seconds you got one for one more thing for us. Thats what i got for you ok but i thought we would chat a little longer about that but in the end look i think whats going to be really interesting to see is again going back to the walk out on friday whether or not actual change can get pushed through as a result of workers making their voices heard because the next big issue is going to be workers in these factories that produce meat and sued rick because there are warnings right now about Food Shortages being the next big issue and that could be a very big issue for a lot of people so you did have a 3rd thing you always have something in your balance outselling for you when youre the best man i appreciate talking to your good guy at a time when our country is facing one of the worst moments in decades instead of coming together Many Americans seem to be going at each other and theres a lot of sparring about what to do some people wearing full face masks and want everything locked out other people are protesting to have everything reopen and then there are those who are being paid to work in the government who scoff at those who want things reopened without realizing what its like the suddenly go without a job and be worried about being able to feed your family so it really is about compassion and comprehension right but then theres this the Vice President of the United States did this he went to a hospital thats treating patients for code 19 and Health Care Workers he did not wear a mask he was told to wear a mask his staff was told that he should wear a mask he said no now when asked. Why he said hes positive that he doesnt have the virus because hes checked routinely as you might imagine everybody is talking about this and. I want to bring in larry king i mean larry probably got a lot to say about Something Like this he watches both politics obviously hes a student of it and hes been watching this situation what say it to you about this larry. It was ridiculous for him not to wear a mask the only only guess i can have is that hes afraid and fearful that trump would not like it because trump you know is this kind of a macho government we have and it would look bad for him to wear a mask but it was a terrible example to people when youre telling people where a man is skinny a Vice President does not wear a mask each job owes as far as. Someone told me that its more important when you going into a building. For you to wear a mask than the person in the building because you will carry the virus into the building so for him not to not do a mask is and his reasoning that he gets checked every so often was was poor i dont know how i am no i did to you i have an idea why he did not wear masks well his explanation is exactly as i said he said i am checked routinely and i am very confident that i do not have it therefore i do not have to worry about giving it to anywhere else but mind you this is important i think as well because this place its always important in our business to talk about who the person is right he is the head of our nations Coronavirus Task force. Its almost laughable you couldnt do this is a joke so. Its incredible to me i can more things have been in this Government Weekly and daily that are impossible to comprehend and this is one of them the Vice President not to wear a mask in that situation at the mayo clinic no less with everybody else is wearing a mask is theres no other word for his absurd yeah apparently its caused a lot of guff from people there at the hospital and other Health Care Workers who are up in arms about this theyre very upset he feels like hes putting them who are working at the hospital in a difficult situation the only. One thing i do want to address is the economic side i do understand and i know this is where trump and pence are going that truly important we open up the economy at some point weve got to step away from this stuff and there are people out there who are suffering because of this who dont have jobs and i dont want to sit here because i do have a job and not understand those peoples plight right you get that youre a kid who grew up in. Of course but thats still not an excuse for not wearing a mask we are the way it was certainly i agree with you everyone is in this boat and some of us so fortunate to be paid right and those of us who are not its easy to sit back in the comfort of our homes or whatever and could set up cameras and be able to work its a sad situation but when the government when you when the head of your task force doesnt comply with the requests of the people in the mayo clinic no excuse no can you figure an excuse communic skewes know the everything that ive been reading in a boy theres a lot to read you can spend all day and everybodys talking and rewriting about this is that there there there is a sense of duty that he feels to donald trump donald trump doesnt wear a mask and hes been feeling like hes been saying wearing a mask is kind of a sign of weakness and it hurts the economy that it seems like that is the impetus for doing it larry. I guess so but its so its a weird obsession by the way tomorrow on politicking my guess is a Great American bill frist bubba bill for all god you are doctor. For is what all the. Hiv in africa he usually was a former majority leader was seen as he is our guest tomorrow everybody to watch on politic i guarantee you here are going to show in the video i just showed i cant wait to hear his reaction. To the best thanks larry good conversation you. And boy were out of time again have fast at certain areas thanks so much for being with us if you have some friends looking for those cash like the rest here and tell of a portable t. V. Where you really develop to get some. Time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability its very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability. In more equitable and sustainable world. They claim their production is completely harmless. The big. Companies want us to feel good about products while the damage is being done far away this is just going to. Underscore. So what weve got to do is. Identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic and developing the only way im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical guy time to sit down and told. Welcome to strike an album didnt show where we deal today with one of the great implications of the Coronavirus Crisis the greatest Health Crisis from a centrally an economic tsunami looming what is the effect on Mental Health of what humanity is enjoying on these uniquely frightening suckin stances were talking to emma kenny the television psychologist probably britains best with a psychologist who tells us how to cope of coronavirus and then to dont alisa come on and see who lives across the group of members of parliament the members of the house a lot through placing the government for action to support the Mental Health of those in the front line of covert 90.
