Parts of the west bank will Benjamin Netanyahu is newly formed government heed those warnings will discuss its time to boost your news i. Q. More than 2 weeks after a botched beachfront invasion on the shores of venezuela to a u. S. Mercenaries captured by a bit of will military forces have again publicly admitted they had the backing from the u. S. Meantime on wednesday a special remote hearing a United NationsSecurity Council was held over accusations that the u. S. Was behind that failed coup attempt but while the u. S. Continues to deny its support of operation it did have some choice words for russia or his Rachel Blevins is joining us now to discuss the latest on this so rachel how did this hearing even come about so russia was actually become true calling for this hearing based on the letter that was submitted to the u. N. Security council by have been this way a law which was calling for some sort of response to this attempted to talk on their government take a listen to a portion of that letter. I quote armed groups of mercenaries and terrorist organized trained financed in protected by the governments of the republic of colombia and the United States of america illegally entered the venezuelan territory now the Us Ambassador to the un argued that they never should have even considered the letter in the 1st place because the us does not recognize Nicolas Maduro as the president of venezuela heres what all she had to say the letter from the illegitimate madeira regime that prompted todays meeting. As such letters always are a long winded compilation of fantastical accusations and demonstratable phosphorescence unfortunately for the 2nd time in less than a month our russian colleagues have indulged their client regimes habit of blaming others for its appalling choices so in addition to 9 those allegations the u. S. Is also arguing the blame should be on russia for taking this letter as credible in the 1st place wow ok so then how has russia responded or have they well the Russian Deputy minister to the u. N. Argued that if this is a case where the u. S. Had no involvement whatsoever in this operation then why was it led by 2 american citizens who just happened to be targeting the same president the trouble ministration has been trying to overthrow for more than a year now take us know what he said because authorities claim that they have nothing to do with this league lead to believe them but seem to explain that according to the contract to american citizens well any that they cost of legitimately hysteric resident and bring him to the u. S. For what purpose we are asked. Now those operation was led by greenberger a veteran jordan grew drone who spent months looking for investors claiming his goal was to overthrow the venezuelan government and then secure the oil fields which would lead to a lucrative return on investment he claimed he had contact in d. C. The backing of the state department and that he was working with Opposition Leader one goh i dont know who has had the full support of the trumpet ministration now the attempt was carried out on may 3rd just 3 days after former National Security adviser john bolton took to twitter to say morning is coming to venezuela again and a few weeks after the state department offered a 15000000 dollar reward for information on the duro and now rachel what about iran they are sending supplies or sending tankers over to venezuela right now whats the latest on that so the Iranian Ambassador to venezuela confirmed that that fleet of 5 tankers carrying more than 45000000. 00 worth of gasoline and supplies is still in route to venezuela despite ongoing complaints from the u. S. And he argued that these are 2 independent sovereign nations and that they should be able to have trade and legal agreements with each other no matter the sanctions theyre facing from the u. S. Now venezuelas defense minister also revealed the countrys military plans to be ready and waiting to escort irans tankers as soon as they reach venezuelas exclusive Economic Zone and as we have been reporting venezuela has the Largest Oil Reserves in the world but due to the ongoing economic crisis that has been compounded by sanctions from the u. S. They are unable to refine their own crude oil so they have turned to other countries like iran for help and of course the u. S. Has been very against us so now it remains to be seen if washington is going to try to move forward and stop that exchange parties rachel blood and thank you for that update thank you. And for analysis on this ongoing situation we will go to danny shah hes a professor of latin american and Caribbean Studies at the City University of new york and professor thanks for being with us. 1st can you clear up any confusion for us as to why the u. S. Is having such a problem with 2 countries iran and venezuela obviously who are both sanctioned by the u. S. Now doing business with one another is there any precedent for how to deal with a situation like this. Theres iran precedent or against any country that there is. But not a mirror or who. Or is this where i read in the in the storm in every right to trade on usually beneficial terms so these are iranian these 5 iranians saying they dont just start fly the flag of iran that really fly the flag of humanity the entire global south the entire 3rd world who strives for a better way forward. Now. Professor what what do you make of venezuelas perspire thus far i mean having a military escort to move these vessels to shore doesnt that visually kind of amp up the tension. You know are. There were any country where there are many who are very hard to. Send things like you were. Like the yard they were doing and pretend it was all busy or bomber or when certain woolgrowers dont consider where you are you think you have been incredibly cool and at a time we will learn more and more 5000008. 109 were proud to announce here. Out in the priority of trial was not really their overthrow or bureaucratic. And the u. N. Hasnt really been too vocal on this entire venezuela issue they have not fully backed why doa in his camp but also they have a really full throated thing back in the door either and theyre definitely not telling the u. S. To stand down on any action against venezuela including these botched you know off the books attempts at a coup so whats the uns role here whats their position. Your answers are pretty well earned this already d accepted your rule resorts. It never a are not denounced is mercenary when there are some 2 weeks ago it never denounced the 50000000 pouncey that the u. S. Illegally criminally put on the head of nicolas mogul just alchemy and the other the elite the bill of aryan leadership theyve done very little to fight against these sanctions the sanctions are incredibly cruel extensionally denying the venezuelan people yes i mean threatening to cut off whats our. Facebook google things that we. The imperialist countries would take for granted it is all designed to demoralize and dishearten but as well in people if they continue to fight back by any means necessary in some areas and professor youre just a moment ago mentioned that 1000. 00 obviously today we are are learning now that latin america now has the Fastest Growing rate of covert cases do you expect the us to have any sympathy towards venezuela as they battle this worldwide pandemic. At the very height of this global un president and pandemic all theyve done is tight restrictions their plan has always been nice these sanctions are not the end and the trump existed for a long time and a democratic president seizes as well and what they seek to do is completely drain venezuela of its economic potential create hardship create mass migration create hunger stoke the flames of any sectarianism and then c. N. N. And fox news the whole gamut of us mainstream channels and newspapers turns around points the finger my guru mother who does the only name no ever mention the crying out to people of mentioning any of the ball of ari leadership and they really dont have an understanding of how widespread hugo chavez his influence in this bolivarian revolution has been for 2 decades and professor i have a little bit of time left and you just mentioned that venezuela has actually been in the crosshairs and the us before donald trump can you give us a bit of a brief breakdown on as to why. I think we all know why because its got enormous Natural Resources the mines the oil the same reason it led america has been in a crisis of spanish colonialism portuguese colonialism and us neo colonialism with his junior partners now for 5 centuries so not much has changed we saw with the us did to the sundanese the revolution. 1979 we saw the u. S. Invasion of grenada and i said 83 the invasion of panama 989 the United States continues to have this night 1824 month road this attitude that lead america is their backyard but the people that america are sick of this going to defend so we sort of theyre going to defend alba in the gains of the both of our in projects right professor danny shall we got to leave it right there but thank you so much for your very hot take on this. All right while the country is focused on the kobe 1000 pandemic it is a big day for the battleground state of michigan President Trump is headed there right now as we speak and is expected to visit with some essential workers are live outside of the white house and there has been a heated back and forth between that states governor and the president. There hasnt actually michigan has been at the front and center of not only the colbert 1000 trying to make when you also have in the state you have dams breaking you have flooding you have thousands of people having to be evacuated from their homes but for the Trump Administration its more for them about how the battleground state is going to vote this coming november now were going to give you a live look here trump actually just touched down moments ago and epsilon in michigan where he is expected to for tour of the ford motor facility and thats where yesterday the president was actually asked whether he was going to be wearing a mask while he tours this plant which is in the process of actually manufacturing ventilators to which trump said quote it all depends now thats where michigans attorney general she fired back saying that if trump did not were mask while he tours this facility he would not be allowed to come back to the state now because of the coronavirus pandemic michigan has considered implementing mail in ballots now this november to which president onil term followed up in tweets wednesday threatening to hold up federal funds if michigan decides to give mail in ballots the green light listen here. While i have very specific funding i just spoke with the go over that we didnt discuss that we would discuss before the topic at hand plus the dams break you so we didnt but well let you know if its necessary youll be finding out theyll be trying to go very soon if its necessary. Trump referring there to the 2 dam breaks that lead to severe flooding in evacuations in the central part of the state so far more than 10000 people have been forced to leave their homes now trump says that he has sent fema in to help the area but again as far as sending federal funding. There is that threat of those mail in ballots now its unclear that governor Gretchen Whitman me will join the president on his tour of the 4th facility today but thursday morning she did announce that the state is starting to lift its covert 1000 restrictions that have been in place for months this is protests have been going on at the States Capital to reopen the witmer announcing that the bat is now lifted on nonessential medical and dental procedures reopening retail and residents can actually gather in groups of 10 or less all which can start immediately listen here. To data has shown that all regions of michigan are ready for us to. Step forward were doing this incrementally on multiple occasions like a dial returning not a switch that we just wont. Know what were to say that the stay at home order in michigan probably will be Going Forward and actually be extending it was actually expected to extend until next week but the tensions between whitmer and donald trump seem to be rising a little bit and it is still not know whether those 2 will actually meet today face to face while he tours the ford motor plant facility they did talk on the phone multiple times yesterday but again still unclear whether they will meet face to face now trump did when the battleground state of michigan back in 2016 against Hillary Clinton now Many Political analysts say manilla that the chances of trumpery winning the mitten state all depends on the economy and how it actually rebounds once the covert 19 pandemic starts to take a little bit of a fall reporting in front of the white house fair and fronsac party. And despite america slowly reopening another 2400000 people have applied for Unemployment Benefits last week since the start of the pandemic nearly 39000000 americans have lost their jobs although the number of new filings have dropped for 7 straight weeks economists warn that it isnt falling fast enough. And International Voices are growing louder warning israel against an extinct parts of the west bank but will Benjamin Netanyahu newly formed government heed those warnings were going to discuss and then over at sports were going to hand brings us a wild 18 run game over at the k b l so to keep up with the latest news and anything you might have missed make sure you download our brand new free app portable t.

V. Im holland cook i invite you to climb with me above the main stream media buyer and from that hire to glimpse the big picture question more. Like one of the hosts asked the question for the guests and then actually listens to the guests answer and then react to its a folks Dennis Miller here ive got a new show. Of my perfect tonio host of americas lawyer with white collar criminals policy high profits and sneer at the pain of those they ripped off and ruined well thats right from your question or. On the heels of Palestinian LeaderMahmoud Abbas officially breaking all diplomatic ties with the u. S. Now some members of the e. U. Are calling for punitive economic measures to be taken against israel if they move forward with an exceptions of the west bank leading that call is france along with belgium ireland luxembourg and a lot more so here and away and while they are still in the e. U. Former u. K. M. P. George galloway as a georgian only hungary and austria seem to be pro israeli annexation of the west bank at this point the e. U. Sets its Foreign Policy standards by consensus though so given that this is such a minority in favor of tacitly allowing israel to do this what will happen next. Well the only thing thats ever been done by the European Union by europe to punish israel for its egregious breach is of International Law and human rights legislation is to force them to participate in the euro vision song contest which is cruel and unusual but not exactly punishment we even allow them to participate in european football championships even though of course they are not in europe so this is small talk and not our sun nothing else the European Union will do nothing to stand up against what israel appears to be about to do i was going to say the European Public opinion is Something Else and this will widen the breach between European Public opinion and United States government policy but i want to a row of beans either so israel knows that it has a wide open field and it will go ahead im sure and annex the Jordan Valley as it has annexed the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem long before it and george the Austrian Foreign minister Alexander Schellenberg says this is a rejection of prejudice against israel doesnt happen in grounds to make that sort of statement. Well it is odd perhaps even amusing that hungary which is led by a man most jews in the world consider. A man whos constantly on the warpath against prominent jews like the hungary and george soros is nonetheless extremely close to israel and austria of course the birthplace of hitler of the mom star who systematically moderate 6000000. 00 jews in the 2nd world war may be a little sensitive on this subject france is trying to steal a march amongst out of Public Opinion because now that britain has abandoned its many decades 100 years actually of being supposedly sympathetic to the arabs because of our long and deep position in the arab world at the time of the iraq war youll recall that france was the leading force against the invasion and occupation of iraq and now france is a position and make itself as the european country
