Ive just turned. 51. I want. The world according to cherish. Today we discuss why the troops are leaving afghanistan. Extremism in america and the challenges of owning a Small Business in the age of the coronavirus. The war. Issue i am frizzy to sanchez for our top story today the u. S. Has delivered a portion of its feb peace deal with the taliban by cutting troops to 8600 from 12000 previously the trumpet ministrations says it could withdraw all forces from the country by next may if the taliban meets all requirements of the deal including severing ties with al qaeda reducing violence and engaging in power sharing talks with the Afghan Government jesse its been nearly 2 decades since the us invaded afghanistan so its well beyond time for our government to end its occupation there well brigitta lets lets go back in history and look all d this came about 1st ok we were allegedly attacked by Osama Bin Laden on 911. 00 so therefore we had to go there to give him that was without question were going to go get bin laden in afghanistan but that turned out to be a front bush and cheney really wanted to invade iraq that was their ultimate goal afghanistan didnt mean nothing to him they had to do it to satisfy the 911. 00 but then they went after iraq and everybody kind of forgot about afghanistan thats why its been sitting there now for 20 years of guys have been dying over there for 20 years and weve accomplished nothing over there because the whole focus then went to iraq all the mess weve got in invading iraq all the aftermath of that mess of invading iraq and were still dealing with all of the today so finally trump is looking at pulling out of afghanistan now why did we go in there in the 1st place lets remember something theyve said. Wars going on there for a 1000 years the russians went in there in the late seventys and early eightys even they pulled out could do nothing but the us ego isnt that way we believed even though the russians failed we could maybe succeed not true these people were war forever why because their religious wars and religious wars go on forever just a when and if the us pulls out of afghanistan the country is going to be left to rebuild after 20 years of conflict now the local Political Landscape will undoubtedly change but theres a long road ahead for the taliban and Afghan Government can agree on how to run the country so what do you imagine is going to happen with the future in afghanistan well unfortunately i should laugh at it but the futures going to stay the same again the wars these are religious wars theyve gone on for thousands of years they will continue to go on unless the religions themself change now good luck on hoping for that because religions dont change so therefore the wars wont change the hostility wont change and the reason theyre fighting wont change and lets also remember too why do we have interest in afghanistan and lets not forget the mineral wealth there theres a tremendous amount of lithium there what is lithium used for every cell phone every computer battery that is an extremely valuable asset thats why everyone has an interest in afghanistan they dont care about the rest of it its about the the im in the mineral wealth there but do i see a change happening and all of a sudden the taliban in the Afghan Government or the missing groom bayati gathered by the camp fire dont think thats going to happen over the past month several current and former members of the u. S. Military have been arrested Authorities Say they all identify with far right movements including the boogaloo and the order of the 9 angels the. Boogaloo has been tied to white supremacist beliefs advocating for a 2nd civil war and or calling for an insurrection against the u. S. Government the order of the night angels on the other hand is a satanic new nazi group that has expressed support for hitler and the Islamic State all right so lets run through some of these cases this week army soldier ethan melzer has been charged after confessing to sharing secret information with the order of the 9 angels in a plot to violently attack and kill members of his own unit while they moved to a different base overseas now in the next case active Duty Air ForceSergeant Steven korea appeared for the 1st time in court this week after being charged with killing a federal Police Officer in oakland and a santa cruz sheriffs deputy career reportedly carried out these attacks during the George Floyd Protests and allegedly used his own blood to write phrases tied with the google lou movement on the hood of his car and in another incident active duty Army Reservist andrew lynam air force veteran William Loomis and navy vet steven partial have been arrested on terrorism charges for allegedly conspiring to incite violence during the George Floyd Protests in las vegas the men are accused of making molotov cocktails before heading to the protests but they also allegedly discussed fire bombing a Forest Service station and an energy station in nevada previously Authorities Say these men self identify as members of the Boogaloo Movement just a year veteran how does it make you feel to see these current and former Service Members carrying out or planning attacks of violence here at home is this just a symptom of our war or culture. Well it may be a symptom it could be a symptom of the war culture basically what it is is complete treason you know obviously they every person that enters the military takes an oath to protect the constitution against all d enemies foreign and domestic while when you wage war against your own country like theyre doing thats obviously a war against the constitution 2 of the United States of america these guys are traitors i think the military needs to start screening better some of the people theyre bringing him but again thats difficult because were an all volunteer Service Today and less than one percent i think its point 05 or something point 5 of a percent actually served in the military in some capacity so its not a popular place to go get a job because the American People generally dont go there its a difficult situation they need bodies and whenever you need bodies you gotta lower standards to get those bodies the president hasnt said anything about labeling members of the boob elim of men as terrorists but he has said that he wants to declare people who identify with the leftist antifascist movement known as anti fat as terrorists and so far no antifascists have yet been charged with crimes by authorities but as youve seen here at least 4000000000 boys have so why is there a difference here well because the Boogaloo Boys are extremely right wing which trump is very right wing im surprised he doesnt come out and call them Freedom Fighters you know that might be a terminology where were going to wait to hear but obviously its the difference between the right and the left trump will blame the far left for everything that goes wrong and he remains noticeably silent on the far right its like the thing that happened in carolina when he made the statement there were good people on both sides being the White Supremacy side. Which ive never met a good white supremacist in my life. In Economic News a new survey by Apartment List finds that 30 percent of americans missed housing payments in june as the country faces record unemployment due to the coded 1000 pandemic those most likely to miss housing payments include renters young and poor americans and of course people who cant remember work remotely while eviction protections implemented at the beginning of the pandemic are now starting to expire and in july people are scheduled to lose the extra 600. 00 per week in federal Unemployment Benefits unless that program is extended experts now warn of a potential housing apocalypse researchers at Columbia University projects that homelessness could increase 40 to 45 percent this year since homelessness typically correlates with unemployment rates now while poor americans face a looming evictions those with more money see it opportunities in low Mortgage Rates in may sales of brand new Single Family homes surged by over 16 percent from the previous month and 13 percent from a year ago so were seeing a disparity here again with the pandemic between those who dont have money and those who do obviously well what you have is this people with money can actually profit during a time like this because theres going to be things done to help out the poor people lowering Interest Rates giving various programs another different relief packages that they can now come come up with well the people that are loaded with money they could jump in on their stuff and they could use it to profit imagine if youve got a lot of money and you want to buy a bunch of houses to later ramped look at the rate show get out of your interest if you buy up right now so during some boards pandemic someones horribleness you will also get the flip side where certain people were profits a lot like war or you got you got warriors at war that bleed died. I and then you got war profiteers like halliburton and dick cheney that do nothing but profit from war and enjoy the great gifts that war break this is the same saying its time for a break when we return justice and stand with a Small Business owner to find out how the pandemic is affecting people on main street as big corporations continue to get rich. The war. Machine. You know what wall streets up to its usual bag of tricks now back in 2008 Global Financial crisis and remember that movie the big short and remember i was obvious that everything was going to blow up and remember al the wall street people were conspiring and then it all blew up in a few people make billions and billions of dollars because they cooked the books grabbed all that cash and. Said you know what this exact same thing is going to happen again in 10 to 12 years and guess what here we are 12 years later that. You know when youve been a big. Part of your mortgage youre more your partner. A. Little over. Water source i. Q. All because lucifer this. Is not my achievement mr davies are 5 beautiful lands were conceived. And carried out by the people themselves if how they would produce or even floor with the idea of making a film like this probably be branded as crazy. Now was the sentiment during the war the soviets were brave heroic resisting the nazis thats going to change of course after the war but once the cold war begins. Little people think that hollywood is a free. Holywood is strictly. Business and. How would i define hollywood is they call it a dream anything which i thinks true. Its a propaganda film. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area russia. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. Just the church. What. The world according to. Many Small Businesses across the United States are struggling to stay open following months of government mandated stay at home orders to find out more about the challenges of business on main street ive joined by citizen activist and Small Business owner jim cady jim as a Small Business owner what challenges have you personally faced during the Current Health crisis i mean the biggest challenge in a last 2025 percent of my annual revenues shut down for 3 months. Along the revenues i had to furlough all of my staff youre looking at the challenge you know we been able to reopen but is the market going to be there in the same way that it was prior to the pandemic you know i was concerned about whether or not i was going to get one of the government loans what restrictions are going to be on it is are going to be another shutdown the uncertainty is probably the biggest challenge for main street Business Owners and all the Business Owners i talk to both have a business on a main street in ocean county new jersey and i live above a business here on 3rd avenue in spring lake the main street and im talking to major Business Owners all the time and thats the biggest thing is the uncertainty that everybodys face no were you able to access any of the loans made available by congress to help Small Businesses get through this pandemic yes i was able to access an Economic Injury disaster loan this is one thats always in place for when disasters happen around the United States is through the s. B. A. Program. It was pretty easy to do i got in very early i used to serve in governments so i know how to work the system and i knew man i got to sign up for this thing immediately because i was concerned that the funds were going to run out which they did they were able to replenish it but i got 150000. 00 loan so a low interest loan or as a 30 year note the problem with these loans as youre seeing with with the e idea loans and the p. P. P. Loans is that they arent designed to deal with the current reality that we have and there are restrictions on the loan so as an example i need to build out i needed to build out an outdoor seating area i went from a capacity of 200 p. Patrons in my town and now ive gotten out there seating area of 80 yet none of that is covered in the loan so i had to pay 7000. 00 or 10 a few 1000. 00 to fix the parking lot up its not in that loans or using cash reserves or other lines of credit to make it happen now while Small Businesses struggle large corporations like amazon are thriving did the government give Large CompaniesBetter Benefits absolutely and we know this is the reality big business always gets preferential treatment they always get better treatment and thats because they pay for now the majority of our elected officials from local town and City Councils all the way up to the oval office have been bought and sold by giant corporations and small mainstreet Business Owners like myself unless youre involved in politics and know the system dont have that voice and dont have that level of representation you know Small Business owners can drop thousands and thousands of dollars to pay for some lobbyist if you go you know help them meet their needs were busy just trying to pay their rent meet payroll every week. Now what do you think the future holds for mom and pop shops if they go under how will it impact the culture in america its going to be devastating to the american mainstream culture and this is not something thats new i mean we have seen main streets around the United States get devastated since bill clinton signed nafta into law and we saw globalization just crush mom and pop businesses with the coronavirus is done is exposed how incredibly fragile main street is and im deeply concerned about if we have another wave of shutdowns what its going to do you know in the Restaurant Industry and im in very talking about one in 5 restaurants is never going to open again and you talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of revenues tens of thousands of jobs that are going to be lost and these are all jobs and revenues that are at the base of our economy the bottom of our economy and that money circulates in the local economy and when it gets sucked out because of a pandemic like this its its going to be very problematic now that some states have lifted the stay at home orders have you been able to reopen have you made any changes to keep employees and customers safe. Yes we were allowed to open here in new jersey for out they were dying this past monday we have put all new safety protocols in place and cerns of disinfecting the service is making sure all our staff are Wearing Masks and rubber gloves make sure the tables are socially Distance Service items are usually sit down at a Bar Restaurant youve got your table cabinet has your catch up you must do so if you pepper all of that has gone you know has to now be Single Service which is a concern for me as an environmental activist those are things youre trying to get away from the
