RT The News With Rick Sanchez July 13, 2024

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 ima go to the wall to show you some of the things that were talking about it begins 1998 even before becoming a world power the United States was i 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 so much more necessary obviously but the mother lode of all cold wars by classic definition began in 1905 and lasted until the 19 190. 00 the russians are coming at became the mantra for all americans as the United States and the soviet bloc essentially faced each other down while creating the economy then infrastructures literally built on the ability to be able to destroy each other. And then came out 11 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 who are more often than not were 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 of the United States and in china are saying now that they see it coming and they warn that it will prolong d 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. Heres our list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow are we heading for another cold war this time with china should we we worried about the absurd paediatric inflammatory syndrome in children lot of folks talking about this and the world of sports will there ever be a return to normal. 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 representative under president s bush and Clinton Steve gill and also with us is former member of the British Parliament George 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 approached and 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 is 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 china is getting exactly what it deserves. I want to get 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 from other countries as well that are pushing back on china George Galloway please respond. Well its a bit like the 1st world war i. Just held from your guest mr gill the once these things are on the move they begin to have a momentum. And im sure youll. Miss the bill thanks 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 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 been a questionable indeed youre farmar just sold a quarter of a 1000000 tons of soy beans to china this week china is. To buy hundreds of billions of dollars of your goods is according to the trade deal in the next 3 months if you want to kiss goodbye to all that well thats on you its your soul right to decide but dont think youll be dragging the rest of us with you because we wont be coming lets bring in 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 dont some people you know have question 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 should do it Michael Maloof to you. I think now that the coronavirus shredded the American Economy china sees an opportunity now economically to. Become that world power that theyve been going 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 stand in that to that and has become more adversarial as a consequence its a selffulfilling prophecy as a consequence so what were seeing are sounds. It is a new hybrid where there are 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 and it tends to be through unspoiled Road Initiative and by extension will be developed in the military to defend it and were seeing that already throughout the indian ocean throughout africa and even into latin america mr gill isnt that exactly with 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. T. 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 china is not happy that were there for all that oh its so 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 great why do we with cheating 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 india in the 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 try to benefit George Galloway let me come back to you it does seem and 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 all of having an enemy but i dont see donald trump in quite the way i have a feeling the crusade hes on will not last long in november and if he is reelected then he will very quietly and maybe turn it back down again because i see him as a pragmatic guy the prospectus that mr gill outlines is potentially totally disastrous for the United States the components of us things that come from the amount of us things that they buy the amount of you are dead the old and the fact that the stock market 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 i think it would be making a very big mistake and i dont think were doing actually strong opinions 3 ways by thanks to all of you great smart guys mr guild mr galloway mr maloof my thanks to all 3 of you really appreciate it.

We welcome you were getting new information out of italy tonight about pediatric inflammatory syndrome or a version of kawasaki disease which seems to be tied to the corona virus now why is this important the idea that children could be affected by covert 19 has Health Officials all over the world spooked none worse than new york there are 100 suspected cases now in new york and were learning there have been also 50 cases in places like france and switzerland and spain and the u. K. And now theres a report just today that there are cases like this in italy. Here again are to correspondent true to the charges. Today the c. D. C. Preparing to release a nationwide alert that warns doctors to be on the lookout for a Mysterious Illness that could be linked to covert 19 and children officials in at least 17 states now investigating around 150 cases more than 100 of them in new york alone we thought initially didnt affect children who are now dealing with an issue thats very disturbing doctors in italy the latest to sound the alarm over a concern in spiking children getting sick with an implement tory syndrome they say is tied to the cruel virus pandemic reporting a 30 fold increase in the number of cases of the syndrome in the bergamo province of italy shortly after the corona virus pandemic spread to that region the finding similar to the observations made in recent weeks by u. S. Health experts. And what were seeing in the children it suggests that in some children be that a rare small number of kids they have a hyper. Inflammatory with spots it happens medical experts say the illness is a multisystem inflammatory syndrome that resembles callous saki disease which typically affects children under the age of 5 the rare but serious syndrome which inflammation affects the heart and other organs can send the body into shock common symptoms include fever rash abdominal pain vomiting and red or irritated eyes the main thing about how saki disease that worries us as pediatricians is that it can lead if its untreated lead to something that we call coronary artery aneurysm and those can be fatal and they often times develop after the symptoms of disease meantime the c. D. C. Says they are still working on coming up with the standard definition of the unknown illness and experts are still investigating a link between a syndrome and children who have been exposed to. 19 reporting in new york Trinity Chavez our team that could turn out to be one of the most important stories in all of this but lets cross our fingers and hope that it doesnt for the sake of all of our children all right time for me to model now where we take a look at how the media gets it right gets it wrong Police Actions being questioned once again and no case is bigger than the job or should be in georgia lets start there joining us now Award Winning nationally syndicated columnist Ruben Navarrette my good friend ruben is joining us from there ruben as we get started i want to i want to show you something its a piece of video d this video right here was turned in by a neighbor he shot it if he does not shoot this video and turned it into police the man who shot the jogger would no doubt have gotten away with what they did but the activists are actually protesting in some places. Saying this man who shot this video should be arrested and the media seems to be playing along with that contention what say if you. Its a good point rick the media has not made up its mind how it feels is one standard rule the apply in all cases about the civilians who take video if its george holiday back during the rodney king beating and hes a Good Samaritan dont mean an act of violence by l. A. Police officers then that persons a hero he shot the right video in this case the georgia photographer is of the other her is a bad guy because he didnt do anything to intervene to save the daughter who was shot or you know didnt report it you name it we havent made up her mind we dont have one set rule here i think whats going on in georgia is this is such an egregious case particular the way it was and told by local authorities theres a tendency to overcorrect yeah not charge anybody now they want to charge everybody but were not supposed to do that by golly were supposed to look at the facts and make a determination and everybody including you and i have a right to take out our camera in front of our. House on public property and shoot whatever the heck we want to shoot and it doesnt matter whether the guy is white black or latino or whatever he is i dont understand the 2 guys who shot the jogger they seem to be real bad guys the guy who simply was shooting this video i dont see it ruben and the media should be asking that question rather than piling on. If this guys the rest of the prosecutors will say he aided and abetted the crime he didnt order it he encouraged it they rushed the plane to the video they might say and he made say just you know he was he had been a Good Samaritan he should have done something to put down his camera and stop this from happening as opposed to just letting it happen and getting the film all right lets switch topics if we could we began our newscast today i dont know if you saw it with the prospect of another cold war everybodys talking about it we decided to pick up the theme and put it together here
