No say in its formation some of threaten to tear it down today in fact while the president has vowed to send in the National Guard if he has to try and stop you in this newscast with one word one word its a word that a year ago would have met very little but now seems to mean everything to almost every Single Person living on the planet earth and fact to many it means the difference between living and dying and that word is vaccine so let me get to it here is the news on the vaccine front there are 4 major laboratories racing right now to try and get a covert 1000 vaccine out right away they are johnson and johnson. Theyre u. S. Based by the way sanofi which is a french firm lab. Its also american and astra zeneca which is a British Laboratory there is news on 2 of them so let me bring you up to date on that going to start with madonna dern a is announcing that it is about to begin its 1st large Clinical Trial how large its going to inject 30000 adult trial participants volunteers theyre already planning to manufacture as well 100000000 doses to be ready by september. Theres no guarantees its going to work still theyre doing that but if it works they then will begin producing 500000000. 00 doses for next year and then they say 1000000000. 00 every year after that now let me take you to some more encouraging news about a different pharmaceutical giant this is astra zeneca astra zeneca is announcing a 1200000000. 00 deal with the u. S. Government theyre going to produce with that 400000000 doses of their vaccine even though its also still unproven it does make you wonder why theyre so confident well i can tell you this astra zeneca has been doing human trials since april 23rd already theyve been doing the trials beginning back in april 510 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 55 have already been injected or tested at oxford and south of them in the u. K. The Company Officials are saying if this vaccine is successful they will have the 1st batch of 100000000 doses available in september now i know what youre probably thinking right about now how long before we all can get the vaccine more to the point how long before i can get the vaccine right that is what were going to drill down on with an expert on vaccines right here on the news of rick sanchez where we believe its time to do news it. Here we go the list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow as you watch this newscast today when will the kobe 1000 vaccine be ready and what do i need to know about it a massive explosion rocks iran what is the real explanation and what and when will the statue of Abraham Lincoln be targeted again tonight well let you know all right so were going to get our a blog today with what you need to know about a potential. Vaccine it is what leaders all over the world point to when their citizens ask them if and when things are finally going to get back to normal but its not as easy as it seems and heres the bad news some scientists are even saying that there may never really be a foolproof vaccine for more on this we are joined by dr Francis Richmond dr richmond as a director of regulatory science at the university of Southern California and shes good enough to join us to help us make some sense of all of this i guess we start with that last bit of discouraging news there are some folks out there who say we will never really have a foolproof vaccine is that true and what does that mean doctor. I guess it depends on what you mean by foolproof. Almost nothing is this in your car may not be true but i asked if we get a vaccine is good he not said that is most people respond well to less than unity and. That is probably as much as we can hope for and wed be doing that for many many years with many other vaccines not every dacs seen 100 percent but if its 90 percent its 95 percent its 90. 9 percent thats good enough to induce what we call the mentality dr ive heard that theres always a possibility that these types of. These types of conditions can somehow mutate this virus can mutate is that true and if thats the case where we end up always having to play catch up with other viruses in the future like the covert 19. Which. We do already every year we look at all the different slew mutations and decide which ones are going to be most likely to infect just so every year the flu vaccine changes a little bit i think we are now to doing that with many other viruses so i think thats what were going to get used to doing with this one too let me ask you a question about these trials that im seeing theyre already spending or theyve already committed to putting out Something Like 34500000000 doses of this in september even though the actual vaccine may be ready to go in other words it may be a flop for all of we know if theyre making that commitment why is that and how confident are you that we will have a vaccine by sometime the beginning of next year. I know its a risk isnt that weve not done before. Contrary activity where were doing the manufacturing even though we dont know if the drug works. Theres a lot of experience with the drugs and the the early signs from the Clinical Trials are that they do induce some form antibodies. It will take a while to figure out what they those antibodies are really strong or whether i mean theyre just hanging in there but not doing much of anything so. If we want to vaccine by next year we are going to have to manufacture and take. The rest that some of them may not that we may be throwing some of that nixon away because its not as clear as it could be a best Case Scenario worst Case Scenario for us having a vaccine. But of course dr. Depends on what you mean by have i mean if our means we have it but it isnt approved by the regulatory agencies thats a different date and when it is approved by regulatory agencies is a different between when you get it. I actually saw think im im impressed recently with some of the work thats being done to assure that as soon as that maxine and reasonable vaccine is available that folks are working through multinational consortium. So that works pretty well and i think once that vaccine is identified and we know we have or maybe 2 or 3 that we like. Were going to see those put out pretty fast early next year. It depends on the Clinical Trials doesnt it but i think there will be early next year it will be some challenge just and much of things that can go wrong. Dr youre fantastic thanks so much for you so much somebody whos very transparent tells it like it is and thats the kind of guest we like around here thank you for taking us through this wisdom that you were able to share with us we really appreciate it. And now to our ongoing coronavirus coverage were ending a week that has seen many more new covert 19 cases in the United States than just about any other wig since the pandemic began more than 39000 new infections around the country more than a dozen states are reporting a daily record texas is one of those states the governor there is now positing the reopening believe it or not new york on the other hand which was once the epicenter of the nations outbreak got in the opposite direction and is now showing one of the lowest Coronavirus Spread rates in the entire nation putting it all together for us today is our to treat each other. As the number of new crew virus infections continue to drastically increase throughout the country new d york continues to see a steady decline in key says however while the state continues to slowly real but others have to wait today a shift in the corona virus pandemic new york once the epicenter of the corona Virus Outbreak in the u.

Now has the lowest cold in 1000 spread rate in the country new York Governor Andrew Cuomo joining forces with the governors of new jersey and connecticut mandating anyone traveling from states that meet certain high infection rate thresholds must quarantine for 14 days infection rate for. 10 per 10000187 day rolling average or 10 percent of the total population positive on a 7 day rolling average the travel advisory including alabama arkansas arizona florida the carolinas washington at utah and texas where the state hit a new record reporting nearly 40000 new infections cases are going up hospitalizations are going up and rob you see seeing the filling in the ice use here locally and as hospitals near capacity many at more than 85 percent occupancy Governor Greg Abbott has issued an executive order to halt all elective surgeries across 4 counties and while he stopped short of a statewide shutdown he is hitting pause on reopening plans ordering all bars to shutter in the state once again while restaurants have to scale back a limit in or dining the fact that we did it so quickly and with so little and so little planning is that now we very likely will have to close again the governor said in a statement at this time it is clear that the rise in cases is largely driven by certain types of activities including texans congregating in bars the actions in this executive order are essential to our mission to swiftly contain this fire us and protect Public Health according to data from Johns HopkinsUniversity Texas reported more than 6400. 00 cases thursday bringing the total 239000 972 surpassing the previous high of 36291 now overall new york still has the highest number of cases and deaths in the whole country both bushels here continue to report a decline in both hospitalizations and new cases of co the 19 reporting 80 or trinity child as are teen youre watching the news of the tragedy i want to go back to our developing story if we can right now in fact lets see if we can get that shot this is a live picture but youre looking right there of what is. True in washington whats the controversy around that statue. And mike what might happen to it as a result were going to let you know when we come back. Our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that merge fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most deluded society on politics as a species of endless and needless political theater politicians more than just celebrity are 2 ruling parties are in reality one party to Corporate Power and those who attempt to puncture this. Breathless universe of fake news designed to push through the cruelty and exploitation of the neo liberal or are pushed so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an avalanche but squeak we must.

How to read out turn on the t. V. Learn about the world and whats happened in the around me i see shows on the screen in lines every day because the fake news narratives despite the state. May be cool and small i believe theres no business with harm after the bomb brick by brick gould police said they could mount up plenty of them in the store but i found it didnt work that open question. And we welcome you back im rick sanchez still have a lot coming your way you know its on the viable but were not the only life form of the universe the question is what is nasa now doing about this what is their strategy we have part of the answer anyway here is our take yours right of a partial tweet. Scientists have discovered a new way to seek out signs of advanced alien civilizations through a nasa grant scientists are conducting a study to find extra terrestrial intelligence outside our solar system but its not as plain and simple as it sounds when scientists have tried to find alien life on exoplanets through gases such as oxygen or methane the search is obvious as both point to some type of existence but here on earth signs of life may not be as natural with pollutants artificial lights and even Tall Buildings these fingerprints are called techno signatures and now the nasa funded study is looking to see if there are comparable techno signatures visible outside of earth one of the study authors saying these techno signatures of advance indian technologies could be similar or perhaps more sophisticated than what we possess the team will reportedly focus on solar panels and air pollution as techno signatures in this study solar panels are created with an ability to absorb particular wavelengths of lights and reflecting others scientists. Believes Something Like this could be detected by way of a telescope when studying exoplanets when it comes to air pollution the team will be looking for artificial gases that dont naturally occur in nature Scientists Use the example of aerosols which they recently discovered were destroying the ozone layer scientists behind the study are hoping to find out more about extraterrestrial life not only here now but also in the past reporting for the news with rick sanchez and tweets are. A massive explosion shook irans capital last night in fact here you can see the explosion weve got some of that video watch this watch this its over the horizon look at the size of that thing right away of course there were reports suggesting that israel had hit a nuclear site in iran that the u. S. Was drumming up a war before the election that the iranians were experimenting with Nuclear Weapons and something went off and the the speculation was rampant in the end iran came out late last night or early this morning ending the speculation explaining that it was not of that that it was none of those things to find out what really happened we take you now live to tehran and professor Mohammad Marandi from the university of tehran its so great to be able to see you professor so tell us what happened that explosion looks huge and dangerous. Thank you. Well there were just simply 3 gas storage tanks that were right beside each other one exploded and it caused the 2 to explode as well and they werent extraordinarily large the reason why the explosion was seemed so big was because it was in the dead of night idea i was actually awake at that time and i didnt hear an explosion nor did one of my friends who live somewhat closer to where the explosions took place so yes its interesting that whatever happens in iran immediately theres all sorts of conspiracy theories out there produced by these socalled iran x. Per cent hes language t. V. Channels b. B. C. Persian b o a persian develop persian and all these others that are waging psychological warfare against iran but then you know after a few hours i didnt actually know that there were these conspiracy theories i wasnt following the news today and then late this afternoon i discovered what had been going on it was actually something quite simple yeah well i was you know theres always going to be speculation with Something Like this something as explosive as this let me ask you then since you mentioned that would it surprise you or does it surprise you that people would be wondering if theres going to be a wag the dog scenario with an election here in the United States just months away or that israel what in fact do as its always promised and hit iran again to wipe out whatever nuclear attempts its making as netanyahu has promised to do why would that surprise you. It would surprise me because if theres rarely regime were to strike iran iran would strike back much harder on israel as. Its very small compared to ron so their vulnerability would be much greater iran has a very powerful Missile Defense capability as the americans discovered a few months ago after they murder a general so the money so i dont expect the israelis to carry out an attack because they simply dont have that sort of capability to hit iran hard and they would be buried by noble to irans response americans can potentially strike iran but again the iranians would hit hard and i think that since the United States is so deeply divided i dont see how could benefit someone into an attack because under ordinary circumstances when the United States attacks countries unfortunately when they carry out acts of aggression many people rally behind the president but i think that trump does not have that capability if he makes and the move against iran i think his critics and opponents will immediately call him out and it will hurt him more than anyone else so i think the situation in the United States is rather unique compared to previous occasions sounds like you have your eye on american politics you shouldnt be doubled to you thank you professor Mohammad Marandi i appreciate you sharing your insights with us on the story. What about another story to your attention now this is something thats been making a lot of headlines here in the United States and subsequently all over the world see about stature right there thats Abraham Lincoln arguably one of the greatest president s in u. S. History that statue is actually called the emancipation statue its right here in washington d. C. Theres Something Interesting about this statue lets go ahead and take it full of we can because i want to you to see see that right there there is a young africanamerican man kneeling right in front of the president thats part of the controversy here part of the controversy is a that. He is kneeling in front of the president but the other part of it is that many africanamericans and many africanamerican groups including a representative from washington d. C. Is postulating the argument that africanamericans were never allowed to have a say about the statue nothing it was put up by people who never conferred with anybody now mind you the statue was put up an 876 just as the country was celebrating 100 years of independence and know it none other than the Frederick Douglass himself was actually one of the speakers there at the time that this statue was unveiled nonetheless the controversy has continued now and heres where we are right now. Because of these complaints there is now talk of a protest that was scheduled for yesterday but may take place tonight and theres talk that some folks may want to take the stat down that is why lets go ahead and pull out youll see when we pull out what happens or see that fence that fence just went up late last night after we 1st filed our 1st report on the story the protesters say they might take it down we dont know exactly when or if that will happen but President Trump is now saying over my dead body im sending the National Guard out there and i want to make sure they protect the statue to make sure that that doesnt happen so thats the scenario as it stands right now right here in our Nations Capital with one of the most iconic statues in our nation and with the famous emancipation image of president Abraham Lincoln joining us now is lee camp from redacted tonight whos been following this and many other situations what do you make of this situation really well with that status you there just sound like theres some vigilance tonight unredacted tonight though i covered the statues where i think theres a little less of a bit of a lens as to whether they should come down less than a week ago we saw albert pike come down and get a face full of dirt here in washington d. C. And you know albert pike if you look into his history this was a man. As in the confederate confederacy general for 2 years until he was charged for allowing his soldiers to mutilate the union dead he then was many believed he could because he was Close Friends with the founder of the k. K. K. And a big fan of the k. K. K. Many believe he helped write the initial charters for the k. K. K. So this is you know i think theres not a lot of big lips as to whether albert pike should be really you know someone that we look up to people say oh this is the only way we can learn our history and see what we look on oh yeah this is the medal of the statue is the only way were going about what i hear you saying is that and i think i agree with you if this is what you are arguing that it really should be done on a case by case basis and somebody who stood for something as awful as slavery and in the case of Christopher Columbus mutilated made of americans. They probably should not have a statue right literally a lot of people dont realize these were not civil war era statues most of them you know albert pike one went up after 1900 most of the ones i grew up in the southern boy grew up in Richmond Virginia my mascot of my high school was the confederate rebels the official and monument avenue is mostly its Jefferson Davis its robert e. Lee and they were put up after 900 when people of color were starting to get rights were starting to get some leverage equality and thats when they were put up as a giant you know that there were 2 major waves of when the statues went up one is as lee just mentioned right after the 1900 saf to reconstruction because generals were involved in making sure their legacy was true and part of it was to put stories in history books about how courageous and how the slavery never really exists and the other time was in the 1960 s. During civil rights did you know that yeah yeah yeah in the 1960 s. They started putting up some of these confederate statues when africanamericans started demanding civil rights thats fascinating and apparently the confederate flag. As well was not a big symbol that southerners ran around with in till that time 959. 00 and sixtys thats when all of a sudden they were like we got to stand up against the civil rights and another thing people claim when they say dont take these down they say what about the descendants of robert e. Lee what about his family think of how that feels for them so i actually nailed down an interview with a descendant of robert e. Lee for tonight act and i made. Descended from. Really. Know what i think the name of and and guess what i support the status quo really oh my god you know by the way did ive done a lot of reading recently about this because im one of those nerdy people who actually reads about news so robert he was actually a really interesting maam he was a he was actually a great man and he was actually less racist than some of the guys on the union side mcclellan was a racist who hated Abraham Lincoln i think you get some pushback there are some accounts that like for example he he is father in law freed in his will free to slaves and instead when he died and instead robert e. Lee said i dont care what the will says im keeping us really is ok is not purely antiracist maybe my argument is as i read about he was extremely educated he was a guy who had both you know west point where you know everything you could possibly do so its you have to look closely who was the general for the north right and tito he was apparently extremely racist and did not want that slavery to go thats the other thing people dont like to talk about is a lot of the northern states were every race just its not like in order to stay for like we love equality you know they some of them wanted to had already done away with slavery but many of them you know they had slaves like its not just cut and dried exactly theres not that Mason Dixon Line was not a racism line so if nothing else this controversy makes people have conversations like this. And that you and i are having going now yeah we might even come away knowing a little bit about history have. Told my wife. There you go again thankfully i look forward to your news your show as usual all right thank you and care about again of you thats our news thanks so much for being with us.
