Well lets start here right here in the United States rick were virginia and maryland are now the latest 2 states to issue mandatory stand home orders for for residents of both states governor ralph north from virginia made the announcement this afternoon short time ago saying the statewide order will remain in place through june 10th but only those having essential work and essential jobs are having to go out for essential supplies groceries gas that kind of thing should leave their homes everyone else he says should self isolate and governor larry hogan a maryland also issuing a mandatory shelter in place order earlier today while Florida Governor ronda santas faced with escalating cases of coronavirus here issued a stay at home order for residents of south florida were talking about Miami Dade County Broward County palm beach counties and monroe counties which is the florida key. Yes through mid may the bulk of the cases are really here in south florida in the state of florida particularly Miami Dade County now the census has been reluctant to issue a statewide mandatory stay at home order though some counties are not seeing any coronaviruses virus cases though the concern at this point is that will eventually change and remember this the pastor of a mega church in Tampa Florida talked about this earlier that an arrest warrant had been issued well guess what hes been arrested after Holding Services despite a citywide stay at home order he was charged with Unlawful Assembly in violation of a Public Health emergency order and shifting now to new york the u. S. Navys floating hospital ship the u. S. S. Comfort arrived today and docked in new york harbor to help with the massive number of cases there 1000 beds and 12 operating rooms that will be up and running in the next 24 hours according to officials turning toward news quickly on the coronavirus front in spain an indefinite period of mourning has been issued as the death toll there has grown to more than 77300 people and 78000 confirmed coronavirus cases the country is seeing a more extensive lockdown with only essential workers allowed to leave their homes and in italy the death toll from the corona virus has increased 211591 with close to 900. 00 new deaths in just the last 24 hours while the total number of cases coronavirus cases in italy is well over at this point 100000. 00 those are your latest headlines right back to you good stuff john fascinating that report you told us about rubber and pasture and tampa so they actually want to rush to have you say now right. Yeah the arrest warrant was issued earlier today and apparently he turned himself in to authorities there and bail was set at 500. 00 i dont know if he posted that bail or not but he was arrest. It makes sense i guess the argument from the government is that hes in danger in the lives of people by against the governments orders having them come together and possibly causing an infestation john how to his usual doing great work thank you my friend we go now to india where something quite unfortunate is taking place the Prime Minister is apologizing to the poor of india officially because of what theyre going through right now because the nation is in a lockdown situation in the cities day laborers they have no work they have no food they have no money theyre desperately trying to find a way to get home according to the information coming out of there so theres crowding in small places around mass transit for example and thats causing potential mass infestations its really a bit of a mess and that is where we begin with our correspondent alex my halo bitch who is going to be manning our asia desk all this week alex whats the latest bring us up to date on how this manifested itself there in india. Well record talking about the worlds biggest lock down here 1300000000 people live in india and the people that are being affected by this more than anyone are the poor just as you mentioned Migrant Workers the cities are full of Migrant Workers who are trying to get home to their villages and with that theyre having trouble finding transportation many are walking and many are saying you know what better to get home and catch the virus than starve in the streets of lets say delhi or mumbai so this is a major issue they dont have jobs which means they dont have money the government has commissioned some buses to take people back to their hometowns but this is even more crowding at bus stations which is causing obviously more problem the more people you have in one spot the more likely youre going to how that virus spread more quickly so whats going on here when you when you look at the ground in india right now its very troubling especially since you think about why india is made up more people really live in rural areas than in an urban areas so this is an easy way for the virus to spread into the whole entire country another issue with the poor is people that live in slums so one out of 6 people in cities in india live in slums that 78000000 people one 3rd of those people do not have a toilet 2 thirds dont have a toilet with Running Water and most of them have to leave their space which is in a slum to get any kind of water so these people its very difficult to the for them to stay in a lot down position they will be moving around we already know that there is one confirmed case in a slum and in a situation like that this virus can spread very quickly mention country of 1300000000 people right now from what we just talked about earlier today to now the number has jumped to ready to out of confirmed cases to 1250 in india 32 deaths thats up by a few from earlier today in india and what were looking at a situation right now a full lockdown so only essential services are working there is no flight and no flights whatsoever in india at this point. Transportation is shut down and the hospitals are bracing themselves for a situation that could be disastrous all those people are. Trying to get. Out to be difficult for all of those. Of us following this story for us thank you alex this is the. Youre watching. The Atlantic Alliance the bedrock of the post world war 2 Global Security order is slowly but surely unraveling more and more often washington in brussels by virtue of important Foreign Policy issues today europe has a choice to defend its interests or fade into oblivion. I cant show you my face but im going to teach you must store in 9093 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 imagine living in your bathroom for the week with the son of a 23. 00. I doubt that had to be. Confined within 4 grey walls the phone its using. Turned on to help him to leave this room. Micrographs friends arent sleights and dad sed you know why. For example theres theres lights 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 a its a political framework thats used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and say well rather than a northern core then we need to call attention to them but its not all slight so its a very political in its contents. Welcome back im rick sanchez there is a report out tonight that the saudi government i. E. The saudi royal family is spying on saudi nationals people from saudi arabia who travel to places like for example the United States. Here now with more on this is our Team Correspondent matushka sweet with the details. The saudi kingdom spying on their own people in the u. S. Why would they do it according to Andrew Miller a former member of brock Obamas National Security council says the saudis are worried about what saudi nationals will do when theyre in western countries and says i think they are surveilling not only those they know are dissidents but those they fear may deviate from the saudi leadership according to whistleblower documents a saudi mobile phones were tracked in the us as often as 2. 00 to 13. 00 times per hour the documents show the 3 main Telecom Carriers Saudi Telecom mobley and zain used 2300000. 00 tracking requests per month over a 4 month period of ember 1st of 2019 through march 1st of this year the data was routed through the s s 7 Global Messaging system the way it works is if someone in the u. S. Is traveling overseas and wants to make a call back to the u. S. This is the very network theyre carrier would use but some Security Experts are concerned over the systems ability to track phones when 18 t. Verizon or t. Mobile receives a p. S. I. I. A provide subscriber information s s 7 message theyre basically getting a tracking request when asked 18 and he was the only carrier to respond saying quote we have security controls to block Location Tracking messages from roaming partners ron wyden a democratic senator from oregon on the Senate Intelligence Committee Blames the federal Communications Commissions for what he calls failing to act when warning them of malicious attackers who were exploiting s s 7 vulnerabilities he says because of inaction if this report is true and authoritarian government may be reaching into american Wireless Networks to track people inside our country and this isnt the 1st time the saudi government has been criticized for socalled hacking in january a media report village. Bezos says phone was hacked in 2018 after receiving a Whatsapp Message apparently sent from the kingdoms crown Prince Mohammed bin some on one of the sunday Telecom Carriers have responded to a request for comments reporting in los angeles and has suites or t. V. Veteran journalist ben swan has long covered breaches of all types including ones that clued government about these and he joins us now with more on this developing story i almost want to say ben should we even be surprised. No we absolutely should not be surprised and in fact not only should we not be not surprised because its the saudis thats a whole other issue we should be surprised because it was a blowers d have been warning the f. C. C. About this and wireless carriers about this for years say that this is a vulnerability that is exploited by more than just the saudi government by the way its been has been exploited by many different governments around the world the f. C. C. Knows that the f. C. C. Chairman a shit pie has been notified about it and has said in the past that he doesnt feel a need to fix this problem so the f. C. C. Is aware of it theres no one wants to fix what exactly can you help us understand maybe from the ground level what theyre doing and how theyre doing it yeah its actually Pretty Simple so when you go overseas so rick sanchez goes to germany when youre overseas and you try to call back to the United States you need to essentially put your Cell Phone Service through a specific kind of service an s s 7 is what its called which allows that message to then be relayed to a wireless carrier somewhere in the United States its how you can call back to the u. S. To an 800 phone to a verizon loan or a t. Mobile phone and so what happens is each time that happens you are essentially logging a location and the reason for that is because then your charge roaming fees at the end of that time thats how wireless carriers know where you are therefore what theyre charging you if youre overseas well essentially you can take that same system and you can use it for tracking it when its supposed to be used to say well someone from saudi arabia whos using their phone is in the United States and now theyre here in the u. S. Every time they said that the wireless carriers in saudi arabia can now charge them roaming but the government can take that same information and say show me exactly where theyre located and where they are at all times and they use it as a tracking device but its designed to essentially set you up to pay roaming charges now its standing saudi arabia there are your own unique brand of paranoia should we. Should we as citizens or as mobile phone users just presume every time were on our phones and somebody could be listening to. Yeah we absolutely should expect that at this point and again you remember that what the saudis are doing with this particular system is theyre not so much listening to phone calls as they are tracking the location of the users and what theyre doing now you can use other technologies to pinpoint more of whats being said in those specific conversations and whats happening but essentially here its tracking method and the reality is that all governments are using in fact the more you look into this story rick youll find that the primary group that uses this Cell Phone Companies for roaming and governments around the world to track citizens or foreign nationals it is used mostly by governments if its not being used for roaming charges great stuff pencil on your smart comment appreciate you bringing us up to date on this ok thanks youve got it larry king is well hes the host of politicking he is also a mainstay in our National Conversation no one would refute that and he joins us now live from his home to talk about everything going on in the world all the eventuality as we like to miss you miss you as i said last week thats nice of you to say lair. Hey so President Trump came out and said he thought we would be ready to go by the 12th of april this morning they change that pushed it back now to april 30th the governor in florida is announcing sometime in may the governor of new york is saying maybe another 3 months boy it just doesnt seem like a lot of this information is coming out in such a way so that we can understand it or at least have any sense of exactness right thats frustrating. A great Writer William goldman passed away recently said 3 words i think ive said them before to you. So cognizant and so relating to just all the news you just gave nobody knows anything. Nobody knows come on they dont trump knows when were going to open up this that. The governor of new york nobody knows anything i one thing i do want to say rick. Mariel cuomo was one of my dearest friends and. I spent many hours with him and joy his company at the Governors Mansion i had the performance of his son during this pandemic as been phenomenal i hope you agree yeah he is so on top of things hes getting high marks all the way across the board by the way republicans democrats its been a while since weve seen a politician rise to the occasion the way that he has you and i have covered a lot of hurricanes in florida for example and from time to time weve seen governors do that but he really seems to be doing that why arent the democrats looking at him as a potential president ial candidate or are they i think they are but how can they pull it off he hasnt run any primary his no delegates what you need andrew cuomo to be nominated is a truly brokered convention a convention where biden doesnt reach the necessary amount and is falls short theyre not going to turn back to previous candidates and then is with. Someone like andrew cuomo who would forces way in you know they have someone wrote today that in 2001 they called. The mayor of new york americas mayor yeah. They should now call cuomo americas governor its funny he has. And in fact hes so effective that he makes trump look less effective. Its funny that youre comparing Rudy Giuliani now is leadership great great editorial today in the New York Times yeah comparing Franklin Delano roosevelt to john of the donald trump you should read it rick todays New York Times well im glad you said that about f. D. R. Because. It seems like this stimulus package is giving people 1200. 00 a month when you do the math larry thats about a minimum wage salary and yet theyre giving banks and a lot of Big Industries billions of dollars f. D. R. Would have created a program to help people and let that trickle up this administration and everybody else involved in it democrats and republicans alike are putting the money from the top and hoping hoping it trickles down what do you think of that. You know what f. D. R. Did he put people to work right and the government paid them and they built Memorial Stadium in baltimore and they build highways so that they felt a sense of satisfaction during the Great Depression at the same time government gave them a reason to pay them build things people are more people like money but that they like better the making of money they like going out and doing something so getting this check which i understand donald trump is now going to sign yeah yeah i did agree both sides of finally agreed on the terms although most people are still arguing it may not be enough for the average worker. But the treasury secretary is not going to sign the checks oh donald trump is going to sign the checks i wasnt aware of that. He was also running today that donald trump will sign the checks i think. Thats almost funny ill leave you with the proverb since were into sayings today in keeping with what you just said. Give a man a fish he eats for a day teach a man a fish he eats for a lifetime and that was the method i think that youre talking about right. Youre so right rick once again you hit the nail on the head. Larry king my favorite thank you my friend look forward to talking to you again. Thanks very much still in the sports shall we and boy the world of sports is d. M. But there is some news in terms of some things that may happen in the future well i guess right now the way were living our lives steve christakis yes everything is about the future it really is you know its unpredictable with this virus as the timeline goes with the virus they say so its really a project of all sports leagues can do now is speculating but there is something for certain today it was announced the official dates for now the olympics they wont be of course this summer but they will be in 2021 as we knew we were that last week but now its going to be almost a year to the day july 23rd 2021 to august 8th so the olympics will be in tokyo everybody is qualified will still be out of able to participate but this also gives athletes who havent qualified yet because a lot of those qualifying events were delayed more time to compete to qualify so there is a lot of good reasons for this the one downside to it is theyve already spent 12600000000. 00 in tokyo on these its going to cost billions more now to reschedule. And when exactly are they going to do this again what july 23rd 2021 of 21 yes summer games im just trying to think are they sure that were going to be completely out of it by then i would imagine that and i dont mean in terms of the big part but i mean theres still some residual effects from the virus because. If you dont actually have something to create immunity you know im wondering if we might still have this conversation again thats true thats a very big question will there be a vaccine by then theyre saying 1218 months so theyre hoping that athletes will be able to be vaccinated by 2021 thats why i put on the right with the vaccine exactly at the time and so its still a coin flip oh yeah we should be looking at another postponement or cancelation unfortunately but for now its on let me ask you about something ive seen going up theres this trend remember last week you and i talked about what do you do on board i love watching old baseball games old Football Games old stuff apparently theres this new trend where people are watching virtual sports right its a huge deal now you have people are tuning in to watch their favorite athletes though play the virtual sport of their choosing the one they participate in most likely so soccer players are playing themselves and soccer moto g. P. Races are playing themselves race where they have the 1st moto g. P. Virtual race last night actually sunday night alex mark has ended up winning mark marquez participate and there is some big athletic stop. Who are these people theyre not real oh no these people are real but theyre playing a virtual simulation of themself racing around the track so for example maybe im just too old the players are real so the real competitors are like. Well yeah its a virtual simulator of themselves but the actual athlete lets say mark marquez or alex is playing theres a delay yeah ok so hes playing the video game exactly and the person hes playing is a representation of himself yes as you say and right here and people who are paying to watch this yet they will know this is free to search and cry being but yes lets say facebook can be the platform that you can just subscriber stream it or youtube or any of those platforms its kind of crazy its a little crazy i did you ever think wed live in a world where people wouldnt actually compete theyd watch icons or whatever you call these things competing right exactly were doing what we have to do to get through this sports rut i guess until who knows when but you know the caps play the rangers virtually the n. H. L. Is doing this with n. H. L. So were going to theyre playing themselves now caps ended up being the rangers here but exactly what people who are real people get as close as we can get i just wanted to make sure we were on the record.
