RT The News With Rick Sanchez July 13, 2024

A hong kong flag oil tanker near the strait of hormuz they held the ship then eventually released it but oddly enough no one has claimed responsibility for it in fact we cant even seem to get clarity from our own military the u. S. Navy right now which is assigned to patrol the area is not commenting why is this so important because he who controls the flow of oil through the strait of hormuz which youre looking at right there. Essentially controls the majority of the world all supply. So heres the question was this sabotage a trial run an experiment to be carried out of a later time when the waterway is much busier not right now when nobodys really using oil in many parts of the world were on the story here on the news with rick sanchez because look this could be a precursor to something much more serious and because we believe its time to do news again. Ok here we go the list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow were armed hijackers trying to see how far they could get in sabotaging the strait of hormuz what exactly led to the deaths of the great grand niece of president john f. Kennedy and the nephew of r f k are we seeing the 1st signs that Sports Events may we open and if so how and in what sport. Ok all this week were going to be bringing you this special coverage of the corona virus with updates from around the world and everything that you need to know to protect yourself and your family we call it tracking coronavirus. There really is a lot going on and none more precarious than all of a sudden this sudden this announcement that the gunmen have hijacked an oil tanker in the strait of hormuz what gives right this is the type of news report that under normal circumstances would be making headlines and every major newspaper and every major major newscast lets get right to it the latest from our Team Correspondent alex my hell of it. In recent days the strait of hormuz has seen its share of suspicious activity the latest being the taking of a hong kong flag tanker just a day ago according to the United Kingdom maritime trade Operations Organization the ship was taken near irans coast when the incident happened and alert stated that the vessel had been boarded by armed men while at anchor dryad global u. K. Based private Maritime Intelligence firm has stated that the saudi arabia bound c. Taipei has 22 chinese crew members on board marine traffic dot com a website which tracks marine vessels around the globe shows that the oil slash chemical tanker left mumbai india on march 28th and is set to dock in the United Arab Emirates today it is not clear if they original destination has been changed or if the u. A. E. Is simply a stop on the route so we know a lot about the ship but the question is who boarded the vessel and why the strait of hormuz is a crucial shipping lane in fact one 5th of all oil traded on earth passes through the street and in the past iran has threatened to close the shipping route down when tensions are high between the u. S. And iran they are often high in the strait of hormuz that said one theory is that you ranz revolutionary guard boarded the vessel however you reading officials have not acknowledged the incident another possible scenario might be tied to the u. S. The s. C. Taipei is associated with shanghai based Ship Management a company censured last month by the u. S. State department for i quote knowingly engaging in a significant transaction for the purchase acquisition sale transport or marketing of petro Chemical Products from iran the u. S. Navys bufferin based 5th fleet which is responsible for the region so far has not commented on the incident there is also a chance that militants may be the mystery men who boarded the ship the area overran where the oil tanker was taken has seen attacks by militants in the past but this would be the 1st time they attacked a ship ultimately after being held for a few hours the ship was released it has been reported that it is now fully under the captains control and its on its way to a safe port for news with rick sanchez im alex my love it or lets do this now lets go to our former pentagon official and our guest Michael Maloof was good enough to join us where were essentially developing a newscast every day that has non coronavirus stories in it this is where were going to do that so heres the question how important is this story thats not being told in this situation. Well its a its a bizarre story because we dont have a lot of facts and the ship was released in a few hours it could clear 10 a a a and that 88. 00 trying out and testing to see what the response to me well whats by iran itself now whats intriguing is that this ship was not under armed escort and it was very very close to the Iranian Border and i would offer another scenario that hasnt been brought out is that iran has been policing and undertaking maximum. Pressure of its own to ensure that cargo is not illegal cargo is not illegal and the fact that it was only that it was boarded and then released after a few hours suggests to me that it was not terrorists it was not militants they would have taken a hostage and and the. Im just to get i have a lot of questions 1st of all im alarmed that somebody would be able to do this if they had melodious intent thats one number 2 is im wondering in this case. Whether iran was trying to simply protect itself and they were actually based on what you said errani in guards and the u. S. Navy is putting up this course somebody is putting out this story because they want us to believe it was melodious. Yes well i think that thats probably right i think the iranians were exercising their Due Diligence to check shipments it was on it was an escorted and the british have been escorting the warships through and tankers through the through that area it was on escort it so that that might have implied to the iranians that it might have been something nefarious because they they have been monitoring and watching illegal oil exports going out particularly government subsidized exports that then a sold on the world market and they dont benefit from it so thats one more option that needs to be considered but as you point out nobodys talking the fact that the state Department Sanctioned they ate the Chinese Company that on the ship a week before i think thats somewhat irrelevant. But it has changed flags and they can do that on a whim so and also its going through the straits theres a certain portion of the straits that is so narrow that it does touch iranian territory and if they are exercising their right of determining passage then i think that. You know theyre doing what we would probably do if the ship appeared to be suspicious. But on the other hand in could be something that theres a test going on and the fact that everyone is so focused on other things right now such as the virus theyre not going to try to make a big deal out of their fact that it wasnt under armed escort is is intriguing to me. Well what about the fact that the navys not saying anything and theyre the ones who are actually in charge of patrolling this area does that surprise you well the oil thats the british and the u. S. And then there again i normally they will escort those ships they may have a warship may be trailing about a mile back but there is nothing so where that ship come from where it where did that tanker come from and thats why i think i might have to suspicion by the iranian authorities and i was right when i said correct me on this for our viewers if somebody were able to pull Something Like this off and were to have lets say a large weapon they literally could shut down the worlds oil supply maybe not necessarily so much now but when the world is really active correct. Oh yeah well the straits are so narrow theres only a 2 mile wide thing and if they in the event a body decided to sink that tanker and block that strait it would create tremendous problems not just the flow of oil which is important but also other goods that go in in and out of that that area in the middle east because they rely on that commerce of the straits of hormuz it would be it would just add on it it would be the frosting on the top of the world depression that were about ready to enter into monkey joining us with the very latest on a story that seems extremely curious precarious and even at this point somewhat mysterious thank you so much mike we appreciate you joining us. Huge news now in the world of sports today that may signal or maybe maybe signal isnt the right word maybe i should be saying the 1st hint that there might be a return at some point here not so soon to the sports world and joining us is our king of the sports world steve christakis to bring us up to date so what is it what is this him or what is this signal so this is the u. F. C. Ultimate fighting championship in the u. S. The organization is trying to be theyve been trying for a month behind president of the u. F. C. Dana white trying to be the 1st pro Sports Organization to come back after all this coronavirus shutdown basically of the entire sports world so theyve been trying they actually had a big event this saturday april 18th scheduled in brooklyn between made off and Tony Ferguson for the lightweight championship this was supposed to be the 5th time these guys were going to meet its been cancelled 4 times before they have never been able to make it happen so a little backstory on this when everything began to get shut down for this fight on april 18th dana white said ok look im going to try to try to have a make up venue for this a make up date and he kept trying and basically fans were criticizing her b. Because he ended up having to ultimately go back to russia where hes from hes an International Fighter and that country got locked down shortly after he returned there so he was restricted from traveling many fans were criticizing him because now he has to balance from the fight because he cant leave and who knows when he will be able to so dana white did a exclusive interview with r. T. On the Dennis Miller plus one show and he spoke to r. T. Specifically and mentioned the fact that fans were criticizing a b. But he backed him up and said it wasnt his fault so lets take a listen to that. As this thing started to progress and we got to where we are now we would literally do a bunch of work and the world would change overnight you know wed wake up the next day and all the rules would change again. So. I would be bending up getting himself into a situation where he got shipped back to russia it wasnt he didnt want to do it it didnt it wasnt his choice it was what happened so you know it was nobodys fault we all made some mistakes leading up to that because we didnt see the future and what was going to happen. So after that you know hes still dana white as is determined to have this fight happen but now that cant participate its the interim lightweight championship is on the line now between Tony Ferguson and justin gates he has now stepped up to take place so dana white still looking for another venue right so hes looking at the taj palace in california now thats on tribal way and the interesting part about this is you know theres a shelter in place order in california but tribal land is not beholden to that so you have to see said hey if we can do it at touchy palace they said ok however you have seas owned by e. S. P. N. Which is owned by disney and the executives there put a spin you know sort of basically and dana what kind of talked about that and they had a little legal loophole with that but heres how that went down take a listen. Basically i could put out an event this saturday night in california at the taj palace. And you know the media went crazy. Government officials went crazy and they eventually got a hold of the powers that be and they need to to stand down and not do this and that i gave my poor friends over at e. S. P. N. The weekend off so that they could they could relax after last week and then i hit them yesterday again with a date im going to go may 9th so ill market on a card right now in the office now working on a card for may 9th whoa whoa whoa may 99th may 9th is just around the corner there you go and he said hes going to have an event that would be the very 1st sporting event since everything shut down yet and thats broken he just released this information last night that would be the 1st big pro Sports Events of course would be behind closed doors and we dont know the venue yet so thats still up in the air unbelievable and again just sort of i know this guy white he is the commissioner dana white guy in charge hes the guy in charge of it i say yes ok fantastic. Wow good story thanks for bringing us that we appreciate it good stuff we are going to be right back here watching that as rick sanchez here many of you on portable t. V. Other on your favorite providers and we will be right back. The world is driven by a dreamer shaped by phone person of those but. No dairy thinks. We dare to ask. Thinking of getting a coupon the ones we got in here shes not around watch this video until shes trapped in this tiny little wired which you dont need a crate with him he will just start freaking out in she want to spray him anywhere near and thousands of breeding dogs are caged in in human conditions on puppy farms i mean 67 years you know theyve been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. To get what you. Know its ok. Across the u. S. Cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies are coming from these large Scale Factory farming kind of operations. Are being still at stores. A Good Business is a reasonable like give them some to theres been a shocking amount of the organizing opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding facilities most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and the streets that have nothing to do with dogs. Hey im rick sanchez so glad youre there. I want to bring in the host of redacted tonight with. A story that has really made. A lot of noise use both of these idioms made a lot of noise and caused a lot of waves in the Progressive Movement and it has to do with one senator Bernie Sanders decided to yeah he couple of days ago he endorsed joe biden and i think heres the problem i think Bernie Sanders did not understand what a Political Revolution is because he said the Political Revolution over and over again a Political Revolution a Political Revolution does not endorse the exact opposite of everything it stands for and thats what his endorsement of joe biden is i mean its so utterly hilarious now those of us who follow this stuff knew it was coming of course only standards always said he would endorse the winner of this you know rigged system that we have here incredibly incredible manipulation throughout the primaries you had polling places closed in texas you had provisional ballots pushed on everyone in california you know the shadow app just down the line rigged against him and then he endorses a guy who represents the opposite of everything he stood for but here let me argue with you a little bit please if you were to. Consider what hes doing it is i guess trying to represent what he perceives as the 55 to 60 to 65 percent of the American People who simply dont want donald trump to continue to be the president the United States and they dont care whether its biden or mr magoo or a potted plant. Most people watching us have no idea who mr magoo lose unless you know the very similar joe biden was you know you. Cant believe you went there but youre a comedian as youre supposed to but you dont you get mike you know i get the point theres a lot of anything but trump i get that right however i dont think that we have theres not a choice we havent been offered a choice now between biden and trump donald trump i mean were being offered a choice between a old rich white man who fought for racist policies whos a serious Sexual Assault stably accusations against him corporate is funded by big banks funded by corporations or donald trump its the same bag the same choice to do this do that i just did that just for you know creative well what what was the alternative. But was there one built sort of the. Overburdening could bernie have done other than this run as a 3rd candidate i suppose he could run as the 3rd candidate in historically in the United States popular kids like himself have branched off and created new parties and thats how our parties have risen up 3rd parties written up in that way yet no he would have had to keep the the Political Revolution going and you know some argue that hes now freed the revolution he created to do to be beyond one person its about the issues its about changing the way this country works rather than just one guy and so i think that could be a positive but the truth yeah hes always said he was going to do this and its infuriating but not surprising let me ask you a question because i was just talking about this earlier in the United States right now there is a progressive wing then theres a democrat wing and even within those there are different kinds of segments right explain to those out there who are just democrats and they just want to see a democrat elected why there are people in the Progressive Movement who are so angry. I mean downright angry because im seeing it in you tube and im seeing it all over the place about what bernie has just done well thats the brilliance of it democrat and republican you give things labels and in then at that point a lot of people lose track of whats underneath that label a lot of people call themselves democrats but
