Despite the worldwide pandemic a Canadian Company is pushing forward with a Major Oil Pipeline project the energy has started work on the controversial keystone x. L. Pipeline and current construction that has local communities worried not only because of the environmental ramifications but also because of coronavirus artist alex heil of it has the story. Much of the world is at a standstill but when it comes to the oil industry some believe the show must go on canadas t. C. Energy started new construction on the keystone x. L. Pipeline this week work is being done at the canada us border in northern montana originally proposed in 281200 mile long pipeline from the alberta tar sands to the gulf of mexico is being built to move 830000 barrels of crude a day the project has been tied up in legal battles for years and still is but thats not stopping t. C. From moving ahead adding to the pressure made of groups that made it clear. That they want work to be delayed especially in the times of covert 19 i think the Energy Decision to move for reconstruction the middle of a pandemic is immoral its unethical and all right. Its dangerous the 8000000000. 00 project is a financially hefty one for an industry that is facing economic challenges since the beginning of this year or oil has plummeted benchmarks like brant crude in a west texas intermediate have lost half their value in a few short months some blame saudi arabia 1st slashing oil prices others blame the Global Economic slowdown caused by the coronavirus its most likely a combination of both that said money for the project is coming from somewhere and with private sector investors scared off because of Current Trends that somewhere is the home of the tar sands the province of Alberta Canada saudi arabias predatory dumping of oil means that the market is not function. And there are no prospective private sector bitters of the keystone x. L. Project at this time in other words without this investment by alberta the pipeline would not be built has invested 1100000000 to jumpstart the project and plans to invest a total of 5300000000. 00 mostly in loans giving the project push forward but with projections of as many as a leaven construction camps to support to build some housing up to a 1000 people local native communities are afraid of what that might bring in you have native communities all long its route who are sincerely worried about 1000 infection some of them are already dealing with the infection as it is the pushback doesnt end there Moodys Investor Services recently downgraded t. C. Energys Credit Rating from stable to negative and the canadian feds are keen on cutting greenhouse emissions which doesnt help the pipeline cause either many believe further investment in the project may be foolhardy especially when you factor in that the work is being done during a Global Pandemic for r t a mouse model of a church. Ok so you may not know it right now but we are in an Election Year and several states have yet to vote in the current democratic primary now earlier this week the wisconsin governor tried to postpone the elections to a later date because of the coronavirus and republicans in the state filed a lawsuit a judge sided with them and the primaries went on as planned this week so meanwhile lawmakers here on the hill are sparring over whether or not the u. S. Should act and measures to make it easier to vote by mail for the president ial elections this fall and the topic to falling straight down party lines so here to weigh in on all of this is steve gruber hes a conservative radio host of the no panic zone broadcaster and a new regular voice that you will be seeing here on r. T. America steve welcome to the show nice to meet you nice to see you 1st can we do. Gus your neighbor across the Lake Wisconsin where in the middle of this pandemic the governor did what he thought was best to protect the health of his people by pushing out the elections republicans in that state clearly didnt agree with that so one why not and to what that to them this is a democratic primary. Much more importantly the United StatesSupreme Court did not agree thats the important thing here monella because the Supreme Court said what tony evers the governor of wisconsin was trying to do was allowed voting to continue past election day but only for maryland ballots and you see thats the big game and thats the big prize here in the local the 1000 pandemic worldwide for democrats they want something in return and soon i hear a lot of discussion about for the stimulus package is going to be put forth by mansi pelosi or blocked i should say by nancy pelosi as the president tries to push these things through you know see the democrats really want mail in ballots not just in wisconsin they wanted nationwide this is the big prize theyre focused on and so when the Supreme Court says you cannot continue to vote after election day thats pretty important you see a day of voting is important and they were not going to allow continued voting at a precinct but theyre going to allow a number of ballots to continue to come into wisconsin for another week and you can see the problems there obviously is i realize is theyre short votes and they say well we can mail in ballots for the rest of the week we need 100 votes needed 500 votes whatever the case may be its right for the opportunity to fraud and to defraud the election and i think it was the right call by the Supreme Court and the right call by the republicans in wisconsin and it looked to me like everybody was safe they have their masks on theyre doing their social distancing they handle themselves pretty well but ill stay on that note of voter fraud the incidence rate i mean there have been numerous studies for the last 20 years the incidence rates are Something Like point 0003 to point 0025 percent i mean youre literally more likely to be so. Struck by lightning than have somebody go in and commit voter fraud in any way so how do republicans respond to that. The fact of the matter is youre more likely to be struck by lightning than to be caught cheating in election nobody believes theres not voter fraud in america nobody really believes that a lets be honest jill stein when she did her. One of the recount in michigan for example in 2016 they want to se michigan they found numerous precincts that had more ballots in the box than they had voters in the precinct clearly there was a problem with southeast michigan that being detroit wayne county mccollum county Oakland County it was never followed up on but clearly when you have more ballots in the box then you have voters dont appreciate that would indicate to me im not real bright but it would indicate to me the possibility that maybe just maybe theres something wrong or irregular about that election now the problem that really bothers me is that it was never looked into it was never further investigated with joel stein its recount demand was suspended in michigan wisconsin pennsylvania it was kind of brushed aside and nobody talked about it again so that very small percentage that you mentioned there thats how many people get caught but for anybody to say theres no voter fraud in america i think that theyre diluting the but its definitely worth exploring looking into a little further like you said steve and besides that controversy of you know the pushing out the dates in wisconsin what about the fact that 180 polling sites got consolidated down to just 5 for the entire state because of obviously coronavirus fears so if this is a harbinger of whats to come for the general election and other states to this what disproportionately impact poor people and oftentimes those happen to be black and brown people they cant get to the polls they they have to take time off work they cant do that isnt that a good case to make vote by mail a normal thing a reality. Most states have early voting now milledge you know most states have absentee balloting that is available many places no reason. Absentee balloting so the idea the notion that somehow its too hard to vote is is Utter Nonsense this is a common cry from the democrats that they have Voter Suppression whatever they lose an election may decide hey its time to change the rules lets move the goalposts because we dont like where they are right now and in order to win we want to change the rules voting by mail is not secure in any way theres no protection i dont appear in person to show my idea much beyond his motor idea is the right idea in this country voter id is what we should have in america because every country in the world i dont care if there is a democracy dictatorship 3rd world country a western civilization that doesnt everybody has voter id theres nothing wrong with that and so when i present myself in person and show my id thats the best way to do it can you have absentee ballot sure but the idea that you would have mass voting by mail is a terrible idea let me give an example what if the Postal Service or whoever speaking of the ballots doesnt like the odd sign that i have doesnt like that candidate does my ballot actually make it to the post office or is it just kind of follow along the way and if you do that say for a week or 234 weeks it could really have an impact on a small precinct that could change the outcome of a state representative race or a state senate race i mean these are important considerations when it comes to voter security now im not saying theres widespread fraud in america but im saying theres probably a lot more fraud than people realize and we should work a lot harder to make sure that elections are secure share and honest so i would suggest we have voter i. D. You have early voting for a couple of weeks and you have mail in ballots for those that certainly cant make it but widespread mail in ballots terrible idea i like the idea of taking my ballot putting it in watching it counted and leave i dont trust other people to touch my ballot well steve certainly a lot of things to consider its not going to be an easy battle to consider either moving out to the elections which would be historic in and of itself and the manner in which we vote now adays so we have to leave right there steve gruber im looking forward to seeing you on here more often thank you so much thank you. 2nd potential covert 1000 vaccine is being tested right here in the u.

Q. Regina hamm brings us some breaking news out of the biggest m. M. A. Event on the calendar stick around for that cant miss this. During this crisis the question of always been. There is a Federal Reserve or other central bankers in flavor reflate or. Quick enough to do. Any downdraft in the stock market i know economically thats got a lot of problems associated with that but thats the big question. In this community there are people who believe that its ok.

Is me. Close one of the childrens children is good because the state of california makes 6000000000. 00 a year of prison complexes you get some 20 year life where. You dont care. Anything. All right remember the phrase drill baby drill well it now appears the trumpet ministration of taking that expression literally to new heights drilling on the moon all by executive order however as you can probably imagine its not sitting well with russia and other members of the International Community so news with rick sanchez host rick sanchez is joining us now with more on this strange story you got to tell us more. Drill baby drill drill moon drill on mars it doesnt matter just drill and of russia doesnt like it or india doesnt like it or china doesnt like it tough thats what the Trump Administration is essentially saying today theyre essentially saying look were going to encourage the United States to mine the moon for a minerals because we have a right to engage in commercial exploration there was this thing called the moon treaty it was established back in 1979. It was kind of an agreement that stipulated between Different Countries all over the world that there should be real careful when it comes to this kind of stuff going into outer space mr trump says look were not signatories do it we didnt sign it were not going to abide by it were going to do our own thing. Look by the way but all the this is ministration as if it has been extremely if nothing else its a doozy asked dick about all kinds of drilling were not even talking about the move were talking about everything from. You know mentally protective lands you have the right mans so yeah its been its been part of the game plan right now this just like the letter was a reasonable extension but it certainly is and its an extension of whats going on i mean russia doesnt like it what are they going to do you dont like it but it is what it is i guess the fair question here is i mean does anybody really can maybe laid claim to owning the moon or owning mars or anything else in outer space. Well you know if you think about it what the United States is saying is look let the market decide who wins thi
