A mistake adding i should not have been there correspondent ferrand fronsac is going to be along in just a little bit with more on this developing story while on the subject of apologies heres an interesting story we need to bring you the New York Times is acknowledging that the people of bolivia all but had their election stolen from them the times now writes that socalled Election Fraud. Fraud in bolivia that was used as an excuse or a pretense to remove a democratically elected president that fraud accusation they say it was a lie. Think about what i just said so evo morellos was elected. Really it seems and democratically within less than 48 hours after he was elected the European Union the organization of american states and the United States state department declared his Election Fraudulent which fomented a coup causing the elected president to leave the country only to be replaced by a new president one that is more to the liking of washington and the oas and the e. U. So shouldnt surprise anyone that this type of foreign election meddling took place should surprise anybody that the socalled fraudulent election used to remove a president turns out now to be not a fraud. No it should not surprise you in fact it does not surprise you not if you regularly watch this newscast i want to take you back 4 months ago february 27th right here on this set when i reported what the New York Times is reporting now. His election was fraudulent they said well theres now a group of experts who have come forward theyve looked through all the details the Statistical Analysis and what they have concluded is the election was clean. That was me then so here i have now tell you whats going on with the New York Times because now 4 months later the New York Times is admitting that the socalled Election Fraud conclusion was flawed thats the word they use in their article but thats not where they leave the story interestingly enough then in what appears like a case of double speak the New York Times is writing that it doesnt mean that the election in bolivia was free and fair. And they cite a source who says quote there was fraud we just dont know how much but which is it i mean if youll pardon me for the journalistic comparison here its kind of like saying that look theres no proof that i rick sanchez beat my wife but theres evidence somewhere they just dont know how much. By the way by that standard let me also ask this question what election anywhere in the world including ours is perfectly fair and without criticism and one more question. What happens now i mean does that guy the elected official president evo morales does he get his office back and he was seemingly according to the New York Times cheated out of. This is the news with rick sanchez again where we cover a story you will simply not see anywhere on c. N. N. Or on fox or on the b. B. C. Or on n. B. C. Because we believe its time to do news again. Here is our list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow after watching our newscast tonight is evo morales election if it wasnt fraudulent why isnt the president should a show about cops where a death occurred be canceled and despite the sino us friction is wild way fix sure that simply will not go away. Lets go ahead and begin with the very latest now from bolivia a country where like so many before it had foreign meddling in its election. If you have latin american roots as i do by the way you would know that this has been going on in that part of the world for more than a century really and apparently its still going on here with more on this story is our to correspondent john harvey. In december 2019 the New York Times published a story titled Election Fraud aided evo morales International Panel concludes with a subhead about the charges of voting fraud that led to protests and the exile of bolivian president evo morales being confirmed in a final report by the washington d. C. Based think tank the organization of american states or oas for short the oas report concluded that bolivias election was marred by widespread deliberate fraud well fast forward to june 7th and a long piece in the times sunday edition last week about a bitter election accusations of fraud and now 2nd thoughts about those accusations oh boy the times writes that a new study by independent researchers quote using data obtained by the New York Times from the bolivian electoral authorities has found the oas is Statistical Analysis was itself flawed why because it relied on incorrect data and inappropriate statistical techniques. The Election Fraud allegations led to violent protests in bolivia and charges against morale is terrorism and sedition braless fled bolivia to mexico city on nov 10th and was granted political asylum replacing him as interim president was janine on yes religious conservative of european descent backed by the United States who stands as a contrast to morality is socialist party and Indigenous Roots u. S. Officials and some academics quickly supported the oas his findings and morality his ouster in fact u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei a tweeted back in november quote fully support the for. Findings of the oas official report recommending new elections in bolivia to ensure a truly democratic process representative of the peoples will the credibility of the electoral system must be restored its noted that there was likely some Election Fraud in bolivia so how much and where remains unclear the oas report was done quickly so its likely not all of the election data was thoroughly analyzed further some argue that the medias akko chamber added to the overall contention and confusion in a feb 27th in the Washington Post to noted mit researchers disputed the oas report saying their Research Found no reason to suspect fraud writing that quote the media has largely reported the allegations of fraud as fact and former alice meanwhile is now in argentina where he was granted Refugee Status and continues to rail against what he calls the u. S. Backed coup that drove him from office 7 months later there are still no elected government and no official new election date for the news with rick sanchez john hardy joining us now r. J. Producer of latin america expert who holds a ph d. On the subject Enrique Rivera thanks america for joining us. Here you have a guy who was elected who is not the president and it turns out that the reason we used to get him out of there was wrong fraudulent i mean is he going to get is is he going to get his job back thats a complicated question and im going to give you a complicated answer no. No hes not going to get word of it right theyre not going to give him his job back he is in exile in argentina theyve been pushing the elections back back back back to be in december march may now theyre saying september this will be a caretaker government that held the held reins for 3 months and theyve been holding on to it for this long this reminds me of this rule in journalism that we all study when we go to journalism school. That its not correct to do a correction too long d after word because it has no value if i put today in the rick sanchez herald or the r t herald that Enrique Rivera is a wife beater back on that subject and then id never touch it again its out there for 4 months people are hearing and reading that youre a wife beater and then somehow 4 months later i say oh by the way we were wrong hes not a wife beater youve done the damage the damage is done the people lost their president they lost their election they lost faith in their election the damage is insured mountable almost at my crazy no youre not crazy youre absolutely right and i mean we need to look at this as a crime this was a terrible terrible crime we put together a slide that kind of indicates how radical a change has been made so. The bolivian people voted for someone who is a staunch opponent to us interventionism and who runs a mixed economy which has benefited by lifting a lot of people out of poverty lets look at Foreign Policy they allowed us aid back into the country that have been banned in 2013 for funding the opposition funneling millions of dollars to them establish relations with israel called embassies in iran and if i were recognized as president this all falls in line with the u. S. And what they term a countrys policies upside down overtly upside down lets go to the economic stuff that they that they that theyve changed so weve talked a lot about lithium and lithium production and how important this was in the role that this may have played in the coup so the bolivian government ran state spots they ran Production Enterprises related to with lithium these production processes have halted completely and the government has called for International Investment like i said this is a crime no this is this this country has been completely looted and and its really unfortunate well see in september if theyre allowed to have for. In Fair Elections like they had last time luis who is a member of morales his party is leading all the polls lets see if they let him win you know its funny how when i turn on the television here in the United States and i turn on whatever m s n b c in particular all i hear is about no one has the right to meddle in another countrys election especially when they try to get in there with like with social media and tweets and. Weve done this we do it all the time this is where is this story and im no defender of morale is i mean i think its a little bit of a lefty you know but they elected him thats their guy not mine what the hell business is it of ours weve got to stop doing this it seems. But it just doesnt seem right no its not right and were at a time where the New York Times is issuing a policy and editors are getting fired left and right. We should see the same thing with international thats a good point its a good point thanks so much and great point. And this is the news were. Watching our special coverage. Especially some of the controversies that. 24 hours. Our culture is. Dominated by. Political. Celebrity. This. Universe of the. T. V. And exploitation. Broadcast that. Corporate money.

Right in your pocket to treat Interactive Digital our skin texture stories well talk to the thousands of episodes to explore videos uploaded every hour so what are you waiting for blast off the foreseeable future. How readout of reading turned on the t. V. On about the world was happening around me i see seals on the screen in last every t. V. Because the feet to sneer its not a state. Of the know this is with the farm after. School is that they keep plenty of them in the school but i found it didnt work and oh. Ok welcome back rick sanchez here now to another example of a suspect saying he cant breathe coming to a Police Arrested happened in austin texas this time where a motorist failed to stop when a Police Officer tried to pull him over orning you might find this somewhat disturbing but here it is this is the video. Shows body cam that youre looking at shows him holding the suspect down who later died after announcing. He tells the Police Officer i have a heart condition and i cant breathe and then he perishes so obviously theres a controversy here and theres a criminal case but heres why im doing this story this story is making headlines beyond just what you saw there beyond this incident itself it turns out that the Police Officer who was involved in the suspects death was being filmed while he was doing it he was being filmed for a Television Show thats called live p. D. Since then the show has been taken off the air and so has another popular almost another popular iconic show its called cops sure youve heard of that one are those shows too exploitive theres so much to talk about in this case including the fact by the way that the video that was shot apparently theyre not going to turn it in they say they may have believed it is joining us now Award Winning journalist Ruben Navarrette and desi robinson who is the director of the Media Program a Media Program at. Columbia university my thanks to both of you does he want truong with a show like this i believe its called live or cops for that matter doing this type of thing. Well 1st hey rick its good to be on and i think the question is whats what is it wrong with a show like this i think its important to understand that there is a fair amount of Media Literacy that needs to happen in situations its and when we think of Reality Television its really important to understand that is it reality. And so these are really narratives that do nothing more than foment stereotypes and sort of the basis understanding of who we think marginalized people are and so these shows are harmful. For several reasons but largely it is because it continues to glorify people who continue to do incredible amounts of harm in marginalized communities but ruben let me bring you in here folks on the other side would say look its a business its a Television Show we put a camera on cops they go out there they arrest people theyre block theyre white theyre drunk theyre making fools of themselves we put it on a d. V. D. We make a lot of money whats wrong with out of the american way of. Right they also they view shows are the are not the stereotype you showed you not hard of people who behave badly when theyre pulled over by Police Officers theyre already behaving badly that they were pulled over by police but there is something to be the Police Officers are behaving badly on the show and that a problem that may be the wrong the worst thing about the show the cop or the camera theyre more likely to be harder on a critic because it makes for Good Television they want to call them back next week for another segment thats a problem. Thats why the shows are dangerous because they encourage the Police Officers to go overboard and perhaps point the camera away that they should not thats a great point speaking of that in this particular case the parents of the suspects say my son was killed by a cop who was acting for a camera he was trying to be a tough guy because of the show that videotape now be turned over to the police because apparently then abrams of live t. V. Is saying no desi im not going to turn them in fact hes saying they may have deleted it. Well i think thats absolutely ridiculous its obviously part information thats part of an investigation but i think what it is. Its worth money use analogies a camera and playing to the camera we need to really pull that lens back because these shows also further this idea that we have good cops and that we have awful terrible people in our society that need to be policed and so what it doesnt do is it doesnt include in any part of this narrative that is being crafted this instead make saliers that put people in these positions in the 1st place and so in force so we going to look at the most marginalized people doing the most horrendous things in our society and were not going to examine what puts them there in the 1st place and then were. Just being entertained by the by the laws of our society and so it does nothing to examine the systemic failures that put people in marginalized positions in the 1st place you know the words theyre going out there with a bias right ruben what does he saying is that. Are they going out there youre right and hes right but theyre not providing the backstory and. The situation to be giving people like the one were doing now that i am i right or even a Research Paper that i did he might write if a lot of. T. V. Shows that they go back and show with the entire contract as to how we end up in the situation they are exploiting Human Behavior not that behavior but theres but im very troubled much more troubled by the fact that this evidence has been destroyed i dont buy into the accidental you know move by the t. V. Stations at all i think the producers who run the show need to have a Good Relationship with the police and Police Department the heat and or to go all over this show and i think this was destroyed on purpose. Because they knew very well rick when they went home that i they knew what they had done and they knew what was on camera and they knew this would come back to bite yeah i could see you saying we generally destroy everything every 34 months or whatever but when you know that someone died during that incident and you have it on tape and you destroy that that seems negligent call me crazy but that seems that image of desi thanks and ruben thanks great conversation important conversation all right like it or not chinas tech giant weiwei is going to play a role the development of americas 5 g. Network according to a study that points to critical telecom pattons owned by the company now remember this is exactly what the white house has been fighting with vim and vigor and bravado heres our tease alex mile of each. Despite the trumpet ministrations worldwide effort to shut out wall way while way is something thats very dangerous the company has a foothold in the 5 g. Game and america could do little about it according to a study conducted by 2 Research Firms more than 80 percent of inventions that are closely connected to 5 g. Standards are owned by 6 companies and walk away is one of them in fact while we owns more patents than anyone when it comes to the next generation of super fast interconnected Wireless Networks deep exile the cofounder and director of the Research Company grade b. Says that means when it comes to countries like the u. S. Even if they hire some other company to build the 5 g. Infrastructure they still have to pay the chinese. This company because of the intellectual contribution to develop the technology simply put if the us wants to participate in the next generation of Wireless Networks it will be pay while way directly or indirectly as 5 no one wants to be left behind the revolutionary tech promises more than just speed with developments in such areas as autonomy cars robotics connected homes Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence as a world leader the us has made it clear its in on the tech but it wants to keep wall way out alleging that the China Based Company is a Security Threat huawei has repeatedly said nations who choose to use their technology have nothing to be concerned about i say and at the trumpet ministrations accusations are unfounded in harmful not only to the companys head of but to progress in general and its relentless pursuit to tighten its stranglehold on our company the Us Government has decided to proceed and ignore it completely the concerns expressed by Many Companies and industry associations. This action this decision is both arbitrary and printed and threatens to undermine the entire Industry Worldwide as a part of the trumpet ministrations efforts against wall way secretary of state mike pompei o recently said European Countries need to get it out of their system they need to use western technologies the problem is even many critical western Telecom Technologies are tied to a wall way patent somewhere along the way. Well networks rely on industry standards across the board to ensure that devices Work Together and communicate with each other on a global level that means cooperation the newest generation of Wireless Technology sees no borders and just like the Telecom Companies in that realm like it or not nations will also have to Work Together to get the most out of 5 g. For use with rick sanchez im alex. So were back in the world of sports now with steve crist talking about we were talking earlier on have you watched on boom bust i was on and we were talking about corporations suddenly trying to make good singing kumbaya giving money to charities and talking about how good they are and how concerned they are about you know oppression in the United States especially where a show oppression well guess who is doing the same thing now yes in the world of sports i guess all of them but were going to start with starting with p. G. A. Tour theyre officially back today now after 3 months of being off and they started off this morning in Fort Worth Texas at the Charles Schwab challenge with a moment of silence at 8 46 am all the players their heads in a moment of silence to recognize george floyd and that is for significant because thats the amount of time the ex cop who murdered george floyd was on his neck for with his knee so they did that a 46. 00 am without any players names on the t. On the sheet during that time and they just wanted to pay a tribute to there was i dont know if its Phil Mickelson there yes is tiger tiger. Is that tiger look sometime going to use and now youre right thats not tiger but it was it was it was quite a moments advantage specially in golf as we saw yesterday with nascar removing the Confederate Flag from their events predominately white sport golf has traditionally been very heavily white and heavily it has a historic racist undertone to the court to theyve come a long way but its still in the past they were very discriminatory against africanamericans the question becomes in a case like this in. When you and i have been tussling and were weve all tussle with this you know is it enough to say you care. Because its act doesnt necessarily mean you care right attribute is nice its a good gesture but it doesnt necessarily mean theres going to be action be so it that time will tell like with the n. F. L. Of course they said a lot of words and were going to wait and i guess what they do and again as i said with when we were doing boom bust this is from top down just like my boss telling me i have to do something right and im going to do it whether i like it or not because i want to get a paycheck exactly thats it doesnt mean that i really believe it right its a mistake and they made a lee and its already made believe it im not going to you know disparage these guys course it but the question remains and of course they are everybody is worried about their bottom line as well theres money involved in these sports big money and also are they doing it just because of their bottom line they dont want but you said i would tell the audience to tell the audience because you know the numbers rather than i do how much more how much of the money of these athletes is an endorsement the big name oh yeah as opposed to the what they make as a salary oh i mean you know you could have a 100000000 dollars in the door simonson and 10000000 in your contract so i mean all that i dont want to let me buy their brand that make you buy what they make playing golf completely we cant afford not to tell right to say the right thing even if you know loose it just say and i mean theres a story behind every youre right youre right all right go on and now the next another significant moment was with the n. F. L. Owner previous owner of the Carolina Panthers Jerry Richardson he had a statue removed out from in front of the stadium yesterday and now he had been accused in the past before he had to sell his team of 28 team to david tepper he had been accused of Sexual Misconduct and using a racial slur against at least one africanamerican scout in the past they settled out of court a nondisclosure agreement there were no details but they were they just got rid of it just like the deal with all the confederate statues they said this is got to get out of here and they said its never coming back what are we going to do with all the statues are going to be a giant collection of statute on the museum somewhere i mean explain what that person did you know its. 5. 00 come and get it. Thats our new number of the stay safe and stay connected. T. V. Here is that you decide oh man if i seriously have its like a big. Structure of nature is connected to these things. Thats all there is a lesson. We need even if you listen for us were going to repeat this over and over if you can teach destroy the last wild places on earth and we interview since hes. Taken home and blow our brains out at any given time if we cant really do anything actually america is the only country in the world where you can kill people outside of war and legally get away with. All the fire crawls stillbirth all the troubled history failed to point its hollow playing to k. K. K. Exists because america wants it to exist they are the biggest terrorist group to ever operate in this country and theyre dead to media war sauls and the people who destroyed the World Trade Centers are the scroll why.
