Think we all are right we all have bad moments when were just talking among friends or family no no no no no no this is a public official who called a News Conference to announce this thing that he says by now it seems the whole world knows that the reason that the corona virus is so insidious is because you dont have to have symptoms you dont have to be symptomatic to pass it on in other words anybody and young people especially as weve said probably a 1000000 times on this newscast can show absolutely no symptoms. But still be a carrier and pass on the disease to somebody else. Again everybody who watches the news listens or talks to their doctor or Public Health officials knows this right. Everybody that is but the governor of georgia in the good old usa who presides over by the way the 8th biggest state in the United States of america with a population of roughly 8000000 people brian kemp thats his name he called a News Conference to announce that hes now going to go ahead and order all residents to stay home why because he just found out that people who. Just because youre not symptomatic doesnt mean that you cant pass on the disease he just found this out listen you know fine and now this virus is now transmitting before people see signs. Well weve been telling people from directives from the c. D. C. For weeks now that if you start feeling bad stay home those individuals could have been in people before they ever felt bad we didnt know that until the last 20 4 d hours and his daughter to me told me she has this is a game changer game changer he found this out 24 hours ago. Heres our mark twain better lets better him than me right maybe the greatest and plainest writer who ever picked up a pen and paper would describe a public official who calls a News Conference to announce what he just learned heres twain or Samuel Clemens as he was also called pen name advice to the governor it is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think youre a fool than to open it and remove all doubt by the way now why is this important because we live now and we here in the media. Especially here in the United States have been pointing out the missteps or the criticisms as well we should of leaders all over the world. And some of them have been doozies by the way. Its important maybe for us at this point to realize that we dont really have to go that far to find Public Officials worthy of criticism. Theres a lot to talk about on this day good bad indifferent this is the news with rick sanchez were so glad youre there joining us from all over the world where here as we like to say its time to do news again. Far lets do it the list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow after watching our very carefully produced news program today will russia join the world in extending stay at home order through april is sweden really bucking the global trend of allowing its citizens to move about freely and what does governor Jesse Ventura say about governance when it comes to the coronavirus. All this week we are going to bring you the special coverage of the corona virus with updates from around the world and everything you need to know. Protect yourself and your family ok tonight lets get started the war of words between state officials in new york federal officials at the white house has gotten ugly actually downright vicious at times it began when new york senator Chuck Schumer criticized the president for being behind the 8 ball thats what he said on television behind says schumer for not testing and for not appointing azhar the president then shot back with a tweet saying please explain to crying Chuck Schumer that we do have a military man in charge of distributing goods a very talented admiral this as the world is on the brink of hitting a milestone in the corona virus epidemic by the way joining us now from the global coronavirus update desk is ben swan hes picking things up for us from here ben now go ahead bring us the latest of what you know. What heres the latest on the in terms of the numbers you mentioned were about to cross a very large milestone and we are 1000000. Infections is what were about to cross as of today thursday were looking at 937000 infection worldwide we will be hitting that 1000000 mark very soon in fact the death toll right now though is at 47000 and so one thing that has made this jump to 1000000 so significant rick is that weve actually seen a doubling of the number of infections in the last week so when we see that much of a search its not that worse necessarily seen by the way an increase in infections its an increase in testing and people knowing that they have been infected in the 1st place but we are seeing a big jump there. You know im wondering as im listening to you if these are real numbers or are just numbers as they are reported because i keep going back to the fact and im sure you do too that theres a difference between countries that are actually testing people to know how many are infected and countries who are just starting the test maybe a couple days ago or a week ago there really is a big difference in the protocols theres a big difference and theres also a realization at this point that really numbers are almost meaningless when we talk about these kinds of numbers again a lot of this goes back to testing there are possibly millions of cases right now of corona virus throughout the world we just dont know about them at this point but one thing that we do know is how certain areas are responding so in new york city theres an incredible story a headline making news today e. M. T. Is being told not to bring people who are suffering from cardiac arrest to the emergency room this is a newly implemented order thats taking effect as of thursday its an effort to not allow those people to contract covert 900 keep them out of the emergency room thats a pretty shocking one. So wait a minute man youre a guys having a heart attack and hes not going to go to a hospital how or what are they going to do with him well hes going to go into the emergency room so be taken to a separate area of the hospital but they will not be taking them into the Emergency Rooms because Emergency Rooms are where people are going to believe that they have contracted a cove of 19 and so they dont want to expose somebody whos having a heart attack also now to this virus which is respiratory and then well i got to show you before we go here rick this this video out of nepal its pretty incredible its how Police Officers in the paul are trying to keep distance from people they arrest and its the use of essentially a cold a 6 foot pole with a little grabber on the end similar to when those those devices that you see in the store when people try to get something out of a high shelf and they use the whole basically to keep the arrestees away from them this is happening in the paul. Desperate times call for Desperate Measures ben swan as usual great stuff great conversation glad youre bringing us the updates from all over so you get in the next hour i mentioned mark twain earlier as a man who wrote about and tended to rely on common sense right theres somebody else who tends to live by that axiom somebody i know he is a former governor of minnesota the host of the world according to the jesse here on our team america joining us fresh from a well deserved hiatus is governor Jesse Ventura so here is the i have to ask you because you were a governor a damn good one i think and theres a governor now in georgia and there have been others but this particular governor in georgia i dont know if you caught the top of our story said he just now found out that people who are not symptomatic can actually spread the disease what do you make of that well i make of it rick obviously the guy was asleep at the wheel. Thats the only thing i can say i mean i just came back from mexico where i live an hour from pavement and an hour from electricity i have no Television Contact i live as remotely as you possibly can and even though i knew this knew this all the way down in mexico off the grid an hour from pavement an hour from electricity no radios no televisions and yet i was aware that people who didnt show symptoms could pass this disease on all i can say is georgia good luck with your governor its seriously though i do think someone in that position and im sure you did it when you were governor you have people around you who are smart in their particular area this is a time to listen to doctors and scientists right do you think from what youve seen too many politicians are trying to just blab their opinions out there rather than listening to the people who are supposed to know this stuff. Well youve got to remember something brains are being smart and paying attention isnt a prerequisite all youve got to do is commit to these 2 parties show loyalty to these 2 parties. To get elected they dont care if youre intelligent or not they just want you to win and so obviously this guy could do that he won in georgia a very close race i bet a lot of people in georgia now are questioning their vote yeah well we dont want to hammer him too much but i do want to ask you. This is a unique situation for you i dont know too many people whove been away and then suddenly came back to this new america whats happened like for you governor. Its been strange ill give it to your rick what happened we were down in mexico or like i said i live remotely on the tip of the baja down there and what happened was the Mexican Government they didnt they didnt force us but they asked all the americans or people from the United States and canada to please just go home because they didnt have the capability it hasnt hit there yet but they felt that if it did hit there they wont have the capability to take care of their own people much less all of us so i took at under consideration i actually left a week ahead of time i drove all the way back and i got to tell you this record traveling across the country right now is wonderful theres a lot of yes theres nobody out there are there are there well theres people on the roads the trucks are out there but not at the level that you expect them to be at the hotels none of the hotels are full you dont have to worry about getting a room the head harry theyre a dime a dozen and of course the gas stations with the price of gas now i was paying a buck 73. 00 driving home paying for gas so actually i say this i dont encourage people to stay at home but right now is a magnificent time to travel because everythings wonderful now heres one for you to think about rick do you think when this is all or do you think when all of this is lifted that gas prices of them going to shoot up to 4. 00 a gallon because theyre low now because nobody nobody needs to buy any gas but watch what happens once this demick is over youre going to see gas prices go through the roof then are you suggesting some kind of artificial manipulation of the market no Something Like that would never happen governor kabobs kidding of course ali ali in fact to you ill leave that to you and you speculate out and. Go to Jesse Ventura its always a great pleasure to be able to have this. Conversation welcome back and nice this is the news with rick sanchez youre watching our special coverage of my d. N. A.

What about to the news with rick sanchez as we mentioned at the top of the hour there is a palpable friction between State Governments and the federal government developing and today that really came to light in New York New York seems to be struggling with its ability to keep up with its very dense population probably the bend sest in the country having enough medical supplies to try and meet the demand for example our t. V. Correspondent turned the job as really good doing great work for us shes been filing stories daily out of new york for the very latest now from what some are calling the ground 0 of the United States heres a turn of the child us. Today officials tightening restrictions in new york as the city remains on lockdown you know right now as you can see new york citys use the pretty busy right now but its Governor Andrew Cuomo ordering all playgrounds in new york city to close down saying that many people still are not complying with social distancing we agreed initially with the mayor that we would try compliance and the mayor was going to try to use the n. Y. P. D. To enforce compliance social distancing in playgrounds it is still a problem were going to close down the city playgrounds and leave the open Spaces Available this as a number of nuclear on a virus cases continue to batter new york city with more than 270 deaths and nearly 4000 cases reported in 24 hours doctors on the front lines of the pandemic warning that hospitals are increasingly overwhelmed unfortunately i just think that this is a situation thats going to be going all around all over every hospital unfortunately begin to see this happen elmhurst hospital in queens in the borough with the most coronavirus cases in the city possibly hit the hardest the 545 bed facility full with kobe 1000 patients oh its terrifying here because were. Downwind of this of a hospital thats a percentage of the death of the National Crisis so yeah im terrified to go out to officials now issuing new guidance for m. S. Workers in the city and long island saying that patients in cardiac arrest would not be transported to hospitals if they cannot be saved in the field at the hospital itself their overrun with patients you know b. M. S. Is last night broke a record we handle 6500 calls and while the Navy Hospital ship comfort and the iconic central park try to relieve the burden already seeing patients new york city mayor bill de blasio says that the city needs thousands of more hospital beds we need to build out an additional number of 65000 hospital beds in the city of new york by the end of april we already have a tremendous start but 20000 beds i say they are already there the governor warning the crisis could last for months and causes many as 16000 deaths if this model is correct. This could go through the summer officials ramping up testing with more than 238000 people tested with the number of total confirmed cases in new york surpassing 90000 the governor says that the number is expected to grow in the coming weeks as they continue to increase testing so far 600000 test kits from a general and corning have become available and another 500000 tests are coming soon reporting in new york Trinity Chavez r t. There have been a lot of conversations about the federal government and what its doing about the State Government and what theyre doing or not doing and many governors explaining whats going right for them or whats going wrong and what they need but you know the real ground 0 in all of this for americans and actually citizens all over the world is at the local level right where where mayors and county commissioners are trying to figure this whole coronavirus situation out joining us now is marty small sr he is the mayor of Atlantic City new york good enough to join us now 3 to share his perspective. Are you getting what you feel you need in terms of support for your citizens mr mayor. Oh yes 1st i would like to say thank you for having me on your show and good afternoon to you or y. Our audience is Atlantic City new jersey but. We here in the city of atlanta city we dont have a test in sight we dont have one in Atlantic County as and yet we are working with the county government as well as the State Government to assist it as of this conversation and we know these numbers are misleading and the city of atlanta currently have 8 cases and we are preparing for the worse we are currently never wanted to is seriously you know unfortunately people dont take things seriously enough into his didnt own it doorstep we know that the numbers are going to rise which spectum new eyes in a big way were going to continue to encourage people to practice so she distancing and i we working with all of our people want to county the state level as well as the federal level to be should be an announcement they did a similar book or him in india is you know for some additional fun in that focuses on colby 19 hey mr mayor let me ask you a question what is your biggest fear what keeps you up at night regarding your city and this cold and i team situation. Well rigbys unprecedented times as i tell people if you wanted to prepare for hurricane annoys do we have a blueprint for had snow removal we have a blueprint for that evacuating the island weve done it before this is something that we can see this is something that we can feel the scary part is in this is what keeps me up at night for all citizens of Atlantic City says i am responsible for the health and welfare to citizens of Atlantic City is that people dont take this serious enough and knowing that people can walk around today in 10. We had it in wont find out to 14 days later. You know some people just dont want to obey the law and fine police chief very white and i find men and women in blue a Police Department theyre going to be as aggressive as possible and you know making people pay because this is a did a disease and i think earlier today governor murphy announced that we had 182 deaths in the state of new jersey and this is scary and you know its going to get a lot worse before it gets better and we just occurred everyone listen this is not just in Atlantic City issue this is a worldwide pandemic and the Economic Impact is felt around the world i saw today that last week usa broke a record with 3300000 uninsured women today it was like 6400000 so this is no joke we have an industry good to see you know industry would stop because taxpayers and the biggest amount of jobs that we had and you know theyre all who know what its going some weve got to get through it together. We tweeted this very seriously but at the same time we also need to project hope that when this is over i have full confidence in the good people of manic city we are resilient well get through this in as he said he tough times dont last we tell people do good they did something uncharted territory but latics city is a beautiful place i spent a lot of time there with my family and thank you mr mayor for taking time to take us through what you are doing d for the citizens of your a great city thank you once again for shit that marty. Lets go over to europe now we mentioned this earlier in the newscast this is fascinating sweden the country of sweden has taken a very laid back approach when it comes to lockdowns and quarantines and social isolation very different from the rest of the world and were going to talk about that but theres another country we want to talk about right now russia where our president putin took to the microphone this morning and made a another announcement about what his strategy or his governments strategy will be moving forward. You need to understand that the remainder. Of the mission has not yet passed in the world. We have taken the decision. Until the end of the money april 30th so there you have it president putin essentially saying hes pushing everything to april 30th which by the way and we should mention George Galloway joining us now where you see there on the screen thats pretty much in keeping with what everybody else is doing it we were originally thinking about maybe the end of march then we pushed into the middle of april and now everybodys saying the end of april so its kind of in keeping with whats going on. I dont think a big news story there the real story is in sweden where theyre essentially saying theyre not going to lock down their citizens what do you make of that george. Well it is a tremendous gamble if it comes off the government of sweden the politicians in sweden will be remembered for of our and in a good way if it doesnt come off it will be the hanging of them the people of sweden will tell their government down if the less safe they are approach which they have taken in contradistinction to every other government in the world. Doesnt come off that gamble doesnt come off then it will have to be the swedish people of the big losers but that will lead us they havent closed bars they havent closed restaurants you can gather in groups saw 50 it was until a day or 2 ago groups of 500 was the cat you can go about more or less your normal life. Policy in sweden a famously liberal place but one with many tensions in these days of a big immigration big refugee flows and so on so there are a lot of stress points a lot of rice in Swedish Society the government have taken a very very big risk rick yeah i guess what theyre saying is look as horrible as the sounds there are older people who are going to die anyway this might hasten their that have. We think the risk of stopping everything might be greater so we think our Health Care System can handle with a sudden rush of so many people getting sick all at once man thats a hell of a gamble george. It is its fine of unless the old parson in question is your mother or mother. And so you genesis to approach its the approach championed by the reverend thomas mouth those in the 19th century who argued that well these things are necessary famines epidemics to cut down the parts of the population that are not Strong Enough to withstand them its not something that some vive not see iraq eugenics fell out of favor became a shameful thing but im afraid among some politicians it is the secret thinking in some places not so secret Boris Johnson came up with the idea of her dimity even donald trump described as crazy. Yes George Galloway as usual a wise man smart man whos able to have these conversations and even bring back the mileage malthusian theories from that were long gone thank you george as usual appreciate your time that is our news im rick sanchez stay safe stay connected on portable t. V. To catch up with everything we report and well see you again soon when its time to do this again. Your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know whats going to them and when its going to. But they havent told you and they havent told me they havent announced. Imagine something as big as the earth. Is going to cause tidal waves or earthquakes volcanoes erupt and its going to tell. So very for a while right. My great grandfathers quote. Nobody would care about the law or prison so youd have wallace the should have. A terrible life between now and the. A new report from merican intelligence claims that china has been lying about the virus from the start where does that leave us officials in their fight against the pandemic weve got the experts on this edition of politics. Welcome to politicking on larry king china has concealed the extent of the Virus Outbreak in its country and under reporting both total cases and deaths that has suffered from the disease thats the conclusion of the United StatesIntelligence Community in a bombshell report we learned about whedons day so where does that leave us officials in their fight against the pandemic for analysis we turn 1st to gordon chang asia expert and contributor for the daily beast he is in new jersey garden in your opinion has as china under reported this cases of the coronavirus.
