We dont know the exact number of them that are ill but it may be somewhere between 50 and a 100 at this point that are sick on the ship and some that have died still on the ship. At least one passenger who died has already been taken to the morgue state and local officials have been trying to decide what to do especially considering that some of these passengers and the crew members are not florida residents theyre not even a u. S. Citizens local officials are afraid to let them disembark aside from asking why in the world these passengers chose to take a cruise ship at this particular time theres also the question of what to do with them if they stay on board more and more people will get sick and die if you let of this a barque how do you do that how do you keep them from spreading the virus to People Living in south florida we are hearing now we are hearing now that theres a development and that there that theres a development in the story that apparently involves allowing some of the sickest passengers to disembark were about to clear all this up for you our correspondents are working on the story as we speak and are going to bring you the very latest as were also joined by a hospital official there in south florida exclusively who will let us know whether some of these patients will be taken to some of these florida hospitals to get medical care everything is kind of up in the air right now look this is a developing story here on the news with rick sanchez where as we always say we believe its time to do news again. Ok heres a list of the questions that youre going to be asking tomorrow after watching our coverage what do you do with thousands of passengers on cruise ships that may have coronavirus scientist astronauts using what they can to build a moon village and will sports ever be the same. And how are we going kept by without them. As you can see a lot of stuff is going on and all this week were bringing you special coverage of the corona virus with updates from around the world that everything that you need to do to correct your go to protect yourself and your family tracking coronavirus ok what we want to do right now is get right over to our rob global coronavirus update desk i think the story of the moment right now are these cruise ships off of south florida d and what theyre going to do with these passengers who are on the ship ben swan how many are sick how many have been able to get off whats the plan what are they doing down there yes its kind of organized chaos or maybe its chaos without organization right now the in south florida you have these 2 cruise ships theyre both Holland America ships one is called the sand and the other one is called the rotterdam president jump in mention about the ship saying he couldnt just allow them to stay in the water that they had to allow some of these people off he called it a humanitarian issue and so florida has been kind of going through a process of what this looks like to release people so heres what we know between the 2 ships theres about 1211 people 1211 people who are on the ships of those we know at least 4 people have died they are in the morgue on the ship 9 people have confirmed cases of corona virus so we know that the virus is on that ship and is moving to the ships population there are 14 i know its a lot of numbers i apologize about but there are 14 people that we know right now who are considered gravely ill those people have been taken from the ship and they have been transported to hospitals in miami 13 of those are passengers and one is a crew member so it to kind of give you an idea of whats happening right now thats kind of at at the base here what we know as far as who is off the ship and whos on we also know theres a stop here so some people are still on the ship some people are being removed on the ship and the prioritization is based on how. Sick you are or whether youre even sick. Right thats exactly right now there are other people who are not considered gravely sick theyre just sick and theyre onboard and what were told about that is that they will be required to stay on board for at least 14 more days they will be required to stay for 2 weeks to be monitored from the ship now if if their situation becomes grave we anticipate that they would also be moved to a local hospital but in the meantime 26 people are being told youre not getting off the ship at all you have to stay here until your symptoms clear up again those have not been confirmed coronavirus cases theyre just confirmed sicknesses on the ship and so they dont want to take any chances in florida with that what are they doing with foreign nationals who are on the ship who are not u. S. Citizens ok so this is maybe gets a little bit complicated but heres how its working because right now the state of florida and the governor of florida run the centers they do not want these people to be positioned in florida or to stay in florida so what were being told is going to quote here the governor said this he says as the foreign nationals come off the ship as they leave they are going to be leaving the area on chartered planes and we are not going to coming back on track bad just in the public just to let you know we got the pictures up of what youre describing right now the chartered plane used to be Eastern Airlines now its a Charter Company flying out of Fort Lauderdale and Miami International airport go on yes owner realty again he says as foreign nationals leave there they are going to be a leaving on chartered planes they are not going to come in contact with the general public it is going to be a very controlled exit again those words from the governor of florida run the census so essentially what theyre bussing um somehow from the. d ship to Fort Lauderdale International Airport and then getting on a plane and flying them out yes and not only not only is that going to be the foreign. Nationals who are exiting that way but buses are taking up all of the passengers who are showing no symptoms as they are being let off they are being screened they are being cleared by 3rd party paramedics and then they are being escorted from the area by deputies on motorcycles there are literally motorcade to rick taking people either to hospitals or to these chartered planes right now they are treating it like a Police Escort to make sure that anybody who was on the ship does not come directly in contact with the public what final question i understand that there are dead people on the ship as well is that true yes for there are at least 4 dead people who are on the ship right now we do not know how long those bodies will stay on the ship what we have been able to find out so far is that they are not in any rush to get those bodies off those ships so at least 4 bodies remain as i said there are there are 14 people who are gravely ill they were transported immediately but those bodies will remain in the morgues on the ships at least for the forseeable future wow. Great stuff unbelievable as this story develops we will keep you up to date right here on the news with rick sanchez thank you ben for that report. Youve got to you know there have been ebbs and flows in the relationship between the white house and the state governments throughout d all this but in the last 24 hours it seems like its gotten more nasty than in the past with new york senator and President Trump firing off angry missives at each other and then last night it would maybe the 1st president shot off a memo using white house stationery that was probably as insulting as it gets but behind all of this is the really important part of this which is what about the supplies what are the states getting what are they not getting and whos responsible for making sure that they get it so that they can deliver it to Health Care Officials all right joining us now with the latest on all of this is scott email use to pick up the story and tell us how things are going back and forth between the state not just the insult but perhaps more importantly scottie the supplies. Well thats something rick youre right that letter was met with cheers and groans from people all around the country as they read President Trumps letter to Chuck Schumer but it is a Bigger Picture and that because just like with any crisis minutes do matter and krone virus typical items which are usually readily available for use around a hospital or turning are not there and so hospital staff are trying to government officials to help get them the item that theyre needed to help save lives never got a nurse here quickly realizing these resources are not within their own state borders now turn to the federal government appealing for the aid those critical medical equipment they need from the National Stockpile whos in control of that stockpile though who does that makes decisions as to who gets what. Well thats one thing we hear a lot about this national stockmans actually the strategic National Stockpile which is a motorcade in a very secret undisclosed location just outside of washington d. C. And its management by fema which has been flooded with these frantic requests to front for goods from all of the states now these requests are made in conjunction with a federal task force and the white house as well as the master what is needed best and who is actually going to disarm these different types of items from the National Stockpile or is it better to use materials from state from the private sector now the state allocations are being made it may some population hospital arent coronavirus patients risk level and existing state resources are the factors being used to determine how much a state gets of what specific resource its requested. Governors are saying. Its not theyre not getting the right supplies certainly not in a timely manner. Well that is right rick and there are several governors who are very unhappy with the equipment or more probably the lack of equipment they are not getting despite their requests as well as this chaos and this disarray that seems to exist within the Delivery System of that their requests now there are questions are being raised as to why some states like illinois massachusetts and maine received only a fraction of their requests while states like oklahoma and kentucky have received more of the equipment they requested and you have to imagine that the one state that is actually very happy with the whole system is florida who has received 100 percent of their 1st year request with governor sanchez actually praising the response and his close relationship with President Trump and i said i heard you when you had new york and new jersey with governor murphy saying his request for 23 minutes ventilators was not over asked in new jersey only received 300 ventilators in response is this thing political. Or that is a thing thats obvious the accusation some would like to make it to be awesome you governors are weary to publicize and to criticize because democratic governors have become a popular target of President Trump and his press conferences however there is no direct evidence to say that republican states are receiving more favorable treatment in fact some g. O. P. States like georgia are having just as much trouble getting their request fields. Scottie nell hughes wow its an important story and im glad we have you there to cover it for us thanks so much scotty appreciate it thanks. This is the news with rick sanchez as we continue our special coverage we welcome all of you watching from around the world our special coverage of the coated that teen crisis we will be right back. Is youll media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being lets see. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. For a mate in the shallowness of. Your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know whats going to happen and when its going to. But they havent told you and they havent. They havent announced. Imagine something as big as the earth. Is going to cause tidal waves or earthquakes volcanoes erupt and its going to chill. So very for love right. My great grandfathers. Nobody would care about the law or prison so youd have wallace the should have of. A terrible life between the and the. A what about over sanchez weve just been told theres an update so lets get back over to. Probably theres Something Else going on that we need to know about ben bring us up to date whats going on yes of the very latest here you know President Trump has been talking about the need to cut Oil Production worldwide opec countries im calling for this is well theres a big question rick about whether or not the oil industry can even survive this as we see the price of oil falling by half well as of yesterday the president said he had met with mohamed bin solman the head of saudi arabia as well as president putin and russia and he said that he had gotten an agreement from them to cut Oil Production by about tin tin 1000000000 barrels of oil now the president said he had put that together but today the russian president just a little short time ago came out and said yes that is possible but only if all Major Oil Producing Countries follow suit lets listen to this. According to preliminary assessments i think that we can discuss it with donation in volume of about 10000000. 00 Barrels Per Day perhaps a bit less perhaps a good more i gathered you here today in order to discuss these questions. So you heard it there in 10000000. 00 Barrels Per Day 10000000. 00 Barrels Per Day but whats important about that rick is that again this is an issue where president putin says all major producers have to be a part of it and that includes to the United States which has become the Worlds Largest Energy Producer yeah exactly and theres the fracking are an issue thats going up in the you know by the way the elephant in the room here in the united to talk about is you could cut 1 you could produce all you want but theres no need for it nobody is using this stuff right now its i mean theres no demand so increased oil and i lower supply ok. Thats exactly the point isnt it that its a supply and demand issue but right now everything that supply and demand is being propped up by government someplace right so fascinating story the good stuff and im glad you got it to us thanks ben its very important to the market heres something that we need to think about will this coronavirus moment that were now living through turn out to be an opportunity waiting for a crisis to happen. Let me explain in words will this now be used as an excuse to cut into more of our rights take away more of what we have while delivering more wealth to those who are already extremely wealthy were not asking this in a vacuum its not like this has it happened in the past lead can over dhaka tonight hes the person whos been aside to think about this because hes the big thinker in the room. Yeah no i dont thank you its called the shock doctrine and were in the middle of it naomi klein wrote a bestseller about a documentary about it and basically the our rulers are Authority Figures they many of them wait for these crises to hit and then they use them to to get wealthier to get through policies that no one would ever approve for example what weve witnessed so far was the e. P. A. Has announced theyre not enforcing environmental registry regulations this crisis as if you know Oil Companies were. Behaving themselves before that now they have no reason to behave themselves. Theyre taking away rights from the mashpee tribe going after native American Land theyre another one is obliged to worry about Public Schools are they going to do what they did in new orleans waited for that crisis to happen katrina and then they turned all those in to Charter Schools they privatized all the like so you know could that happen again also Constitutional Rights the department of justice just barman says that they want to basically allow courts to claim its emergency so you dont they can lock someone up basically indefinitely no trial no charges because of an emergency but then whats an emergency is a you know a sprained ankle is that emergency is a generalized tornadoes viruses it could be anything be careful what you give up now because you may be stuck with it forever yeah yeah thats essentially what youre saying because once the quite this is over you then have to hope that those Authority Figures will be. Like you know what here are your rights back here all those things back because theyre functioning again you know but is that going to happen did that happen after katrina or it or in puerto rico where you have got what i can do you one better after 911 we started this thing called the patriot act i heard of it i dont have a bevy of stories with Law Enforcement officials no one told me the patriot act has been used in ways it was not designed to be you know exactly centrally they just fit it in oh weve got the patriot act now we were allowed to do this before knock down somebodys door investigate them but now we just take out the patriot act and were able to do it even though that guy was not even being investigated for terrorism right unlimited surveillance of american citizen so theres do you think theyre going to give that backs or anything to stop surveilling unlimited well numbers of americans only if were vigilant i mean if we do segments like the one that you and i are exactly people got to stand up get angry about it until it was things turn to Something Else thats going on that i frankly as a journalist cant help but notice and that is every time i turn on the t. V. I see the white house and the administration having these long meetings with all the c. E. O. s from all over the United States and its almost like theyre courting them joining us now and these guys are all i cant help but think that when all this is said and done those are the guys who are going to be writing policy i dont want those guys writing policy i dont want those guys made federal decisions for the people of the United States but it kind of looks that way doesnt it i got bad news for you theyve been writing the policy for a while now Corporate Leaders have donated to both parties and they largely own these politicians and so most of what gets done in Congress Even before this chaos but no you dont understand maybe you know what im saying im not sure and give away going on right now oh yeah maybe the grandest giveaway in the history of the planet earth yeah theyre printing money to give it to people and the people who are getting with the president in the oval office is not your dad or my uncle. I agree you tom of the bailout yeah the bailout is this is a bailout thats going to go forever we get another one limit to the average people get im easily 1200. 00 x. One dime shack which is going away to buy the great bread crumbs its nothing compared to what is given to exactly what you talk about Corporate Leaders will get all of this money trillions of dollars literally trillions i mean its it on a badge of money. Honestly you cant comprehend how much money is being given to corporately and by the way there may be corporations that are essential that do need some kind of government help it happens from time to time the question is whats the greed whats the limit where does it go and where are the f t rs who at one time in our history said lets make sure we also create jobs lets make sure we help people who may need it who are just regular folks right its all comes down to oversight but theres been you know the democrats claim they fought for some oversight but its nothing its a little panel of the 5 people trying to over look over see we were before dollars and once you get the accounting leverage that theyre going to get its up to 4 or have trillion dollars its you cant you cant oversee that you know i really dont even know t. You dont trust nancy pelosi to know why are you let on ideology she is a millionaire owned by other millionaires that oh yeah thats him this guy picking on everybody about me its him as usually its a good conversation and im really glad we had it all right im going to walk over and see another friend of mine oh my god youre not wearing a tie today we were doing that the boss i do that in trouble for not wearing a tie all your sports you could do that this is true you know its very handsome steve goes are you doing im doing well i go where you are and you know what so hey look at this blue its like we called each other some magic day so sports world this is called jock talk yesterday and for a little levity that now you know we dont have sports going on right now as we know but i just have news no highlights so i thought to be fun to take us back to some of our favorite. Yes from before memory 2020 how we dont know sports but before 2020 the world lets go back now ok this case you know now that n. H. L. The case well theyre all over as far as we know it for the time being but i just wanted to break that was one of the most beautiful k. Tel goals ive ever done a highlight for look at this through the legs of the defender that through his own legs and scored thats a measure of but dont you dismiss just action like that right anything and h. I mean else i told you i go home and i watch old games i want to watch the lakers the other day i watch the miami or play nebraska crazy stuff me to see so even if its old even if its from the ninetys i still enjoy it then its i try and get games were i cant remember who won but i could get rid of the flight over but anyway go want to interrupt i know its a good night lets go back to june 29th right the m. L. S. We covered we know wayne rooney a legend over there in england but he was here with d. C. United last season and he scored a 70 yard screamer now this is just so thats 70 yards away right over the goalkeeper stringer just. One year and it was the occasion was the final score there so that goal was enough for the game winner right there that was in the temperament of the game yeah and saying thats amazing 70 yards i mean. Whats the longest field goal in the n. F. L. The way i think im a college 8079 field goal i would say silver near 7770 if youre right that 70 in college and 60 something in the pro this high so its kind of like the saying right right has already incredible legs there now the top moment you know everybodys kind of looking out for each other now youre seeing the world come together so this moment brought me back to last september in 2019 during the world athletics championships were so all the really go but here we go look at this so this right here and give us our runner. Soon card is helping Jonathan Busby from aruba cross the finish line he stopped at the sacrifice davos sect of price his own race this is. The 5000. 00 metre medal race at the world athletics he went back he saw busby was struggling with the heat because this was in qatar in september so the heat was incredible you know 100 plus degrees there fahrenheit he saw him about to pass out he would pick them up and drag him across the finish line well but that he that he sacrificed his position yes they both were disqualified. Just so he could finish because he didnt want to see him go down like that it was 300 meters left in the race he did i turned around and got him and by doing that he sacrificed his own position in being able to finish the race and you seen that a lot of people are sacrificing certain things for other people you see a lot of good humanity out there with this whole coronavirus going around the world what are you hearing steve how whats the n.

V. To see about. Im. Still. Not. The only. Hope someone will. Join me every thursday on the alex im unsure when ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics this list im sure ill see you then. Micrographs friends arent slights against you know whites or men for example theres their slights against women or nonwhites so its always there the idea is that statements that directed toward a Privileged Group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward a 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 saying well rather than a northern door then we need to call attention to them but its not all slight so its very political in this country.
