Already on the brink but this pandemic has quite literally pushed it off the cliff all right so just how contentious is this today as china is threatening the United States warships are presently staring at each other on the South China Sea the us president insists on punishing china with more and more trade tariffs and now china is being accused of being responsible for the pandemic maybe even that they did it on purpose so say some of the accusations thats why china today is pushing back more on that in a minute but lets continue this narrative in other words the scene is set for another new enemy another cold war and what is a cold war by definition its a state of political hostility between 2 countries characterized by threats propaganda just short of open warfare. By the way the history of our country is replete with these types of relationships imo go to the wall to show you some of the things that were talking about it begins 998 even before becoming a world power the United States was a necessary enemy and it found one in spain threats propaganda led to the spanish american war played out 10 generally in battles in places like cuba there were other enemies of course other incidents world war 2 some much more necessary obviously but the mother lode of all cold wars by classic definition began in 1905 and lasted until the 1990 the russians are coming at became the mantra for all americans as the United States the soviet bloc essentially faced each other down while creating the economies and infrastructures literally built on the ability to be able to destroy each other and then came out of it and after 9112000 september 11th 2001 our country was attacked but rather than focus on afghanistan and a few other countries where al qaeda and the taliban had carried out the attacks we came up with a cold war against an enemy simply described as terrorists more often than not or also identified as islamic fundamentalists that cold war if we can call it that has lasted decades and now it appears were on the brink of a new one a new cold war. With china. Experts both in the United States and in china are saying now that they see it coming and they warn that it will prolong the pandemic decrease Economic Growth and potentially even lead to military confrontations so why do cold wars come about who stands to gain from them if anybody lets ask these questions right here on the news of rick sanchez where we believe its time to do news again. Here is our list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow are we heading for another cold war this time with china does the future have a 3rd of all americans now working from home and when did the u. S. Government actually start taking coded 19 seriously. As we begin this newscast let me read to you what china is doing today ok today it says it will no longer submit to u. S. Lawsuits and legislation aimed at blaming them beijing for the Coronavirus Crisis and it is therefore announcing that it has already begun counter sanctions against officials and entire states who are doing this against them theyre pushing back joining us now to talk about this is former pentagon official Michael Maloof former u. S. Trade representatives under president s bush and Clinton Steve gill and also with us is former member of the British ParliamentGeorge Galloway my thanks to all 3 of you gentlemen what a distinguished panel we are honored to have on this day mr gill i think i want to begin with you. As we look at this situation we cant help but wonder just how far this will go and whether theres some way we can stop it if indeed its taking place what are your thoughts. I think its very difficult to stop you know the genie is kind of out of the bottle at this point and weve had difficult trade relations with china now for a while we thought we had made progress with the trade deal that had been reached but then the pandemic approach and then were getting more and more information that they may have had if not a direct at least an indirect role in not releasing information that has just exacerbated not only the problems of the Economic Issues but also just general relations and International Relations overall so i think we are way down the path to suddenly push a button and sort of reset that so i hear in your words that you believe that chinas getting exactly what it deserves. I know youre getting exactly what they deserve but i think this this is not softball this is hard ball they have been playing hard in the trade arena for a while theyre clearly playing hard in the arena when it comes to Economic Warfare and in some cases kind of pushing the edge of the envelope when it comes to military action so were down the path the question is whether or not were going to have the strength both economically and in terms of International Cooperation and i think were seeing some of that other countries as well that are pushing back on china George Galloway please respond. Well its a bit like the 1st world war. Weve just found from your guest mr gill the once these things are on the move they begin to have a momentum of the tone sure you contrary to what mr bill thinks youll be alone in this one absolutely no one in europe all the rest of the world wants to have a fight with china not economically and bet your Bottom Dollar not militarily so the United States will have to as he put it have the strength to see this through and thats very questionable indeed your far marse just salt a quarter of a 1000000 tons of soya beans to china this very week china is slated to buy hundreds of billions of dollars of your goods and Services According to the trade deal in the next 3 months if you want to kiss goodbye to all the well thats on you its your solvent right to decide but dont think youll be dragging the rest of us with you because we wont be coming lets bring in mike maloof i want to read something to you this is from pat buchanan i think all 3 of you know people pat buchanan i like pat i know some people you know have questioned him over the years but i think hes a very smart guy hes definitely a right winger right he says this in a column he wrote just this week 3 decades of post cold war foolish and failed democracy crusading have left this generation not with the conviction and certitude of cold war america but with the ashes in their mouths and no stomach to spend blood and treasure converting china to our way of life hes writing this column about just this very topic the possibility of a cold war with china he says we aint ready for it shouldnt do it Michael Maloof to you. You know i think that now that the coronavirus shredded the American Economy china sees an opportunity now economically to. Become that world power that theyve been hoping to to achieve and weve brought a lot of that upon ourselves as you can and as pointed out the neo cons for example the neo conservatives theyre the ones who are pushing the adversarial role of china and china of course is to standing up to that and has become more adversarial as a consequence its a selffulfilling prophecy as a consequence so what were seeing ourselves in gradually and there is a new hybrid with more of a combination of economic political military aggrandizement and as a result of the coronavirus level in our economy now china sees this opportunity to to become that more economic. Powerhouse that it intends to be through its belt Road Initiative yand and by extension will be developed in the military to defend it and were seeing that already throughout the indian ocean but seeing that throughout africa and even into latin america mr gill isnt that exactly what some of the folks over down the street from me here at raytheon and other places want lets get china to Start Building up its military that way we get to build up our military and man were going to have a lot of money and a lot more power do you fear stuff like that. I dont think thats the real motivation but i do agree with mr maloof that youre seeing china and they have been doing this for a while with their belt Road Initiative trying to expand their influence into africa into south america into other regions of the world and i think weve been asleep at the switch we have been awoke to the fact that for example about 90 percent of our medications have been coming from from china when this whole p. P. E. Disaster started about 90 percent were coming from china and they shut down the flow is as they were dating to have them for their own pandemic so this is not something new i do think that chinas not having that were their fault though so that i thought so i got to stop you there for just a moment how is that their fault that we told china to do all our medications and do a lot of our stuff and then were going to be mad at them because theyre doing i dont understand. We call them i do it we went cheat and were paying the price for going cheap rather than doing it right i think that you are already seeing that particular is this trade war develop you are seeing Companies Move out of china into vietnam into in the ija and malaysia philippines youre going to see that speed up now a lot of those companies are going to be china owned companies that are doing it so it really doesnt change the bottom line totally but youre going to see a different Global Economic atmosphere after this is over and its not always going to be to chinas benefit George Galloway let me come back to you it does seem in the reason i explained that at the beginning of my show that the United States has always had an enemies sort of speak are different little cold wars is because they seem almost necessary your country the brits for many years were in that same situation seems like weve kind of taken over that mantle now am i wrong. No youre right of course there are benefits for the military Industrial Complex of having an enemy but i dont see donald trump in quite that way i have a feeling that this sunday china crusade is on will not last longer than november and if he is reelected then he will very firmly quietly maybe turn back down again because i see him as a pragmatic guy and the prospectus that mr gill outlines is potentially totally disastrous for the United States they the components of you are things that come from them the amount of you are things that they buy and the amount of your debt they own and the fact that the stock market in beijing this day is booming whilst our stock markets are tanking the world has already voted with its feet it recognizes china as the new superpower and of the United States wants to turn its face against that i think it would be making a very big mistake and i dont think trump would do that actually strong opinions 3 ways my thanks to all of you great cast smart guys mr guild mr galloway mr maloof my thanks to all 3 of you really appreciate it. This is the news of rick sanchez where weve got a lot of news to bring you and putting a very important witness testified today in congress about how the United States may or may not have been prepared for this pandemic ill have it for you all right here dont go away or perhaps.

Has our government response to the coronavirus is being seriously questioned we also have to begin to look at what will be the long range effect of all of this for example what will happen to how we work in the future to where we live in the future there are new trends new studies that are starting to paint a picture of what america is going to look like in the years to come this is something weve been wanting to drill down on for years so here now is our Team Correspondent john hardy. The coronavirus pandemic has shifted the way Many Companies are operating with millions of employees working from home in manhattan 3 of the new york citys largest commercial tenants barclays j. P. Morgan chase and Morgan Stanley sent tens of thousands of workers to work from home since march more than 180000 chase employees in fact have been working from home the buildings with more than 10000000 square feet of commercial office space being leased or for the most part empty and will likely remain that way even after the pandemic passes whenever that will be and many other Companies May be facing that kind of uncertain future as well and the question of whether bring employees back or continue to operate remotely the New York Times writes about manhattan facing a reckoning if working from home becomes the norm reporting that even after the crisis eases Many Companies like the big Real Estate Firm homestead may just continue allowing employees to work from home the question some Manhattan Companies are raising about returning to the office are shared throughout the country from new york to chicago chicago to l. A. Facebook and google have extended the work from home policy through the end of the year and twitter said this week many of its employees will be allowed to continue working from home in perpetuity in many cities real estate taxes fuel many city and county Services Like police fire and Public Transportation so whether or not these Major Companies scaled. And scale back on the cost of commercial real estate raises serious questions about the impact on the economy Global Workplace analytics estimates that 56 percent of the u. S. Workforce holds a job that is compatible with remote work that translates to 75000000 people being able to work from home according to the Workplace Research firm and it estimates that even after the dust settles with the pandemic 2530 percent of workforce will be working from home multiple days a week by the end of 2021 and then theres another factor that perhaps needs to be considered the percentage of people who like going to the office whether its to get away from home for the social interaction the Team Camaraderie or simply because theyre used to the routine. That said while manhattan may be facing a reckoning if people continue to work from home the pandemic isnt exactly having that kind of effect in miami where the miami herald reported recently that miami commercial Real Estate Market is expected to grow despite coronavirus construction on new commercial buildings and luxury apartment condo towers has continued throughout the code 1000 crisis in miami while developers reportedly continue buying up real estate throughout the city along with that multimillion dollar waterfront penthouses continue to sell without a problem perhaps the only reckoning in miamis Real Estate Market is whether or not it will be hit by a hurricane this season for r t john honey thats interesting talk about trends well always long as america begins to reopen state by state we have been sharing with you what is being open where and when so today i stayed here surrounding the United States capitol like virginia and maryland announced that theyre going to open this weekend we decided to take a look at Something Else we want to look at the mortality rate state by state to see who is being the most affected joining us now to look at this part of the story is our to correspondent Michelle Greenstein right rick so yesterday we broke this map down in terms of states that still have either. Stay at home orders or shelter in place orders in the states that are no longer on a statewide lockdown today what were going to look at is the death rates nationwide there have been a brown 85000 deaths related to cove in 1000 now this doesnt necessarily mean that in all cases the person in question died from cove it means they had cove it at their time
