to get them to finally treat it as a prison, rape elimination act complaint where they take it a little bit more seriously. so until that happened, they just so we don't know how many women have been dismissed like that. it's happening more and more and we get emails from people and calls from people all the time, letting us know that it's happening in the state or that state. and it's just happening quietly because people know that it's not a defensible thing to do. and so they don't talk about it, it's up to us to expose it. ok it up tonight. i'll be back in office. ah ah. ah.

back breaking toil forced labor stress industrial injury. corporal punishment. oh no. words with which we are all familiar. are you certain that the world you live in abolish slavery long ago?

ah, the by new administration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the beijing 2022 winter olympics program binding. just taken a bold move against china, boycotting a diplomatically the beijing that went for a limp it over you. the latest reaction from china as well as any other countries are going to stand with united states. this is secretary defense announced a new goal of revamping the u. s. air force planed all to secure china. we discussed that these goals are realistic, and your home in new york city mayor diblasio might be considered their grand. she felt chris, as children, ages 5 in arden are giving demand for proof of a double vaccination to be put in place. we will give you the response, germany for their scope of vaccine mandate and the rumors of australian cova camps

are no more as their existence have now been confirmed. we will bring you one woman's story in the camp as well as the fine she faces. when she is clear and our companies including media outlets, speaking out on social justice issues because they want to achieve real change, or only are they doing this to avoid it being put in the crosshairs of an activist group. change is not free, but could it costs the entire company? will break it down. all of this is another loss of a prime time anchor falling allegations of improper behavior. is that the real reason, however, why cnn has decided to cut ties with chris cuomo? we will give you the 360 view on these issues on today's new use right here on our america. ah, thanks for joining us. the vitamin ration is proceeding with

a diplomatic boycott of the 2021 winter games in beijing over repeated human rights violations. now this means that the athletes may still participate, but there will be no official us dignitaries or delegation present. now this move which president biden had been considering for several months now, was not well received by the olympic committee or the chinese government. they were doing good without being invited, american politician or the hyping, the so called diplomatic boy caught of the bathing winter olympics purely wishful thinking and grandly handing medical manipulation is a blatant with all of the spirit of the olympic charter and an outright political java cation it's seriously on one point and more chinese people. so i guess a reason behind this action as well as what will be the result we bring in my home a loop for me, it's thing on official. and chris sent it us china relations expert and author of

here you go feeding the dragon. thank you so much for joining us, chris and michael, i'm a lot of different parts i want to get to this. i wanna start 1st with you on chris, on this one. you know, the timing of all of this, this has been hinted by the by administration. it's the speaker plus even said it, that this is going to be coming. so i've got to ask you what the recent headlines is this happening because of the attention being given to the test per pinch. why and her disappearance, or the human rights violations which are nothing new being used really as a cover for the vitamin ration. not being able to make any headway with chinese officials in both trade military, in fact, anywhere. well, it's an interesting time to say the least. and in fact there's a conference of events that have really gotten us this point. i particularly like the foreign ministry stating that we haven't even had our diplomats invited to the games. i thought that was an interesting one. liner in there, that is completely ridiculous. but if you look at the confluence of events, obviously we have the weaker muslim issue and shin jang. we have the taiwan

encroachment by the chinese p l. a military of hong kong, which is obviously been in the news since 2019 heavily. you have the hypersonic weapons which have been on display. you have co bid in the mystery behind where that came from and the hiding of what actually happened there. and will hon, you have the south china sea conflict, you have trained free speech issues, it's all compiling into one big controversy. those become a geo political mass for china to navigate. and quite frankly, there was a lot of pressure on the administration to do something. and this is sort of one way to sort of say, hey, we're dipping our to, to tona pool, but we're also allowing athletes. ready to still compete, it'll be curious to see what kind of dominoes fall after this initial action has been activated. well, chris, that's my question on this, because what exactly does biden think? what does he think this is going to accomplish? i mean, the fact that i'm a few american politicians are bailing and are any other countries saying,

you know, we agree with you america. we're going to stand next to you. well, right now, we're the other super power in the eyes of the chinese. so the chinese companies party is throwing essentially a follow up to the 2008 coming of age party that they did around the summer olympics. back then. this is actually the fancy dinner party of 2022, where they are saying, hey, we are now a global superpower. this is our adult introduction into that space. and we want the world to validate it. and without this other super power across the pacific showing up, we are simply not validating what they are trying to expose the world to, whether it's infrastructure, whether it's the competence of the government there, whether it's the magistrate of how they rows in the past 40 years we are simply not doing the symbolic validation that they are so, so wanting, and that is one of the big, you know, sort of gains by diplomatic action like this. i would argue i'd also like to see

a move of the olympics to another venue sore athlete. could still compete yet we also aren't validating china by actually sending them all there to compete for gold medals. and how are you holding your breath and to think at this stage that again, this late stage, that will happen. i don't think the chinese would give it up. but chris, you know, i, under, i understand where coming from, but that being said, china has worn as a refusal that he said, we're going to take resolute countermeasures. ok, that's very generic. what could some of those countermeasures actually look like? what can the chinese do right now to involving the olympics? well, there's the negative things that they can do, for instance, like they've been doing with hollywood or the n b a which is completely new blocking access to that market in that massive consumer driven economy. but they could also reward certain players, because if you look at what's happening in washington dc and in the united states

in the western allies, there are very few allies for the chinese communist party right now. whether it's politicians, journalists, critics, consumers, populace around the world, etc. but what they do have is the business lobby and the business lobby is still pushing engagement status quo with china. so they could take activation of rewarding certain wall street firms. rewarding. for instance, nbc universal, which is covering the games. and if they don't cover the games, will anybody see the games on the almost be like a tree falling in woods and no one knows it happen. so they could go out of their way to sort of promote the business lobby by showing, hey, this is how much money is at stake for all of you. we need you on our side. you need to continue participating in this event, sponsoring this event. and ashley, providing a platform for it. well, and that sounds a lot of inside baseball, you know, the average person watching just was to see if their favorite person could ski down

the mountain without and metal, and skiing, and other winter live exports. i want to bring on michael loop on this because there's another aspect to this. china is it has the recent involving china there. busy is a brief comment made by air force secretary frank kendall, regarding new airplanes. in fact, he's saying they need to replace the old ones because the chinese are not scared of the planes we use had the technology defense here. terry lord also made the announcement as a national defense form. i want you to listen and we're investing in new capabilities that will make us more lethal from greater distances and more capable of operating, stealthy and unmanned platforms and more resilient sees and in space in cyberspace . isn't that what we paid the majority of our budget for the past every single year of us taxpayer dollars was to not be in the situation that we're in today. well, yeah, we have an administration or actually a defense department that doesn't project 25 to 50 years ahead. and basically what

the chinese could do to us is ignoring logistic norris and, and work with the, with our allies who need china for exports on the one hand. but on the, on the military side, we take so long in, in trying to plan and get, get out a weapon system that's obsolete before it even gets out there. i'll just remind folks that and you may recall this, that backend that bob gates, when he was secretary defense, he, he went to china and that was the, the chinese fluid, the j 20. they're still fighter. and the united states had no idea it existed. none and even said so he was, he was really stunned by that, which was another intelligence failure on our part which once again, why is this happening? i can't say it's because they don't have budget. they don't have the resources, they don't have the brain power. they have all of those. so what are they doing

there were still you don't have a strategic planners. that's no problem. we have, we do not have strategic planners and, and, and now we're, we're being given the politics the way the by the administration is carrying on. they want confrontation, not only with china, but with russia. and we can him a fight a, a, a 2 front war, let alone a one front, which is real quick. i want to get to chris. i want to thank you for your comments as well. real quick ukraine right now. us is also picking if i want to citing with ukraine in this side. it so it's not just china, but now they want to take on russia as well on this side of it. why does the us keep pushing is what can the united states game out of siding with you? correct. well it's a number of factors. number one, they get the 22nd to give me your top one. they need they need. they need a boogie man. number one, number 2, it's an over reaction really to of the failure of afghanistan and, and it's the, by the ministration, trying to reassert dominance in the so called free world war. the problem is you want to unite the to, you don't want to make the enemy an enemy,

and i don't that well, but you, china and russia aren't necessarily best friends either. well, got through talking about working together. they just had joint military exercise well, and unfortunately that's something they have to do because united states is driving to that. you just my point, talk about different strategies. chris, i go thank you for joining me on this saturday night cnn decided to set a time that was one of their prime time stars. chris cuomo, following the revelation of more communication between chris and his brother, andrew cuomo. regarding the former governor of new york harassment allegations for the anchor, who had been suspended, was fired after new allegations of sexual harassment surfaced. so disgusted to bring in and rece efferson founder, the blush project. and art she's very, i'm steve malls berg host, depress steve. i want you to start with this because you've been following this case probably from the very beginning for years, not only as a native new yorker, but also someone who watches walk us through the charges which caused chris coleman

. the 1st place to be suspended. and the actual ones that in the end caused him to be fired. well, they suspended chris cuomo on tuesday. this was after an attorney general investigation, things that were found in that investigation in new york attorney general investigating the former governor and communications. he had a new strategy and we met with they found that chris cuomo had through and whatnot had done a lot more for his brother than he originally told c n n. he had done originally back in august or so. chris cuomo admitted yes, i advised, my brother, i met with my brother, i gave him some advice he's my brother critic was andrew cuomo, the governor of new york was that would be facing sexual misconduct allegations. so chris cuomo, an attorney also besides being a host on tv, decided i'm going to help my brother. but it turned out these revelations from the attorney general's office, the tax and whatnot. found out that chris cuomo did a lot more than he originally told. see and, and he did, he use his media contacts,

allegedly to find out dirt and information on some of his brothers accusers and right on down the line. so on tuesday, cnn suspended chris cuomo on saturday. they fired him. now interestingly enough, we subsequently learned from the new york times that on wednesday of this week in between the suspension and the firing. a new sexual misconduct allegation had come to light against chris cuomo for from a previous job at a previous network with the junior colleague. was that what tip the boat was that what made cnn say enough is enough. i don't know, but that's, that's the sequence of events also. now chris cuomo is looking to reportedly su cnn if they don't honor his full 4 year deal, which he signed last year at a reported $6000000.00 apiece. and chris cuomo has quit his serious x m gig today, so that, that is gone as well. i will thank you for giving us that update on that racist for

i want to bring you in on this because do you believe this is about actually seeking justice for improper treatment in proper actions? the workplace is this more just damage control on behalf of that network? well, unfortunately, we don't know exactly what cnn knew, and when we know that the sucker from cnn the head has found out recently or a said he found out recently about what i went promo was accused of doing as far as the message based on the, the geisha from lateesha, james, the 18th of new york. and so if he didn't find out until the report came out from the a g 's office, then okay, that's one thing. but if he knew about the complaint specifically about the one from his former producer, his former boss at one a party, he walked up to work and grabbed her by her behind and said, all i can do that now we don't work together anymore. if they knew about that, if cnn knew about that, if they knew that he was reaching out to his contacts in having conversations with

different staffers for his brother and telling them, oh, i'll find dirt on these girls. or i've got information on the girl from the wedding if they had any inkling of that, then yeah, it's just damage control. otherwise. right, well, and that's the thing that and steve and brief, we're going to continue to follow, sir. but here's what get to me about this is the fact that you were been in this business long enough. we know that it's not just as going on and saying things there is accountability that goes in front of sitting in for that camera. and for years cnn utilize a fact of the formal name to get access when they were at their highs. and i just have to wonder if they overlooked this because they knew they had access to the governor of new york and everything that came with it. time will tell, just like you to always give us the truth. thank you for joining me. reason, steve, thank you. now when we return, go welk. gopro is a popular a catchphrase these days, but is it actually accurate as a majority of people do not care for corporate activism? we will break down the latest all after the break. the.

ah, it's not being all. nominate, but i guess i hi. middle now, are you on my head up my lab that halem that i am not you didn't thought mr. william up a new knuckle 11. 0, bob, you didn't thought no one long up better be it a well i me let me go. lation, suburban? yeah, man, it's sonya hey, cuz i'm not in the and ah

ah, as part of other approaches, concerns of the oma con variant is bracing countries around the world. but here at home, new york is taking a very calculated approach or to correspond touchscreen has more on this new mandate. being implemented, new york city is being hit was another vaccine mandate. this one involving private businesses and children aged 5 to 11. the new york city mayor st, all private sector workers must be vaccinated by the end of the month. or lot of folks in the private sector said to me, they believe in vaccination, but they're not quite sure how they can do it themselves. well, we're going to do it. new york mirabel diblasio announcing that all employees within the private sector show proof of vaccination by december 27th. he said more

details will be released by december 15th oh, vaccine mandate has already been imposed for city workers. this will be the 1st mandate for those working for private businesses. the mandate will also be extended to indoor dining fitness centers and other forms of entertainment. los angeles is exercising a similar mandate, but new york is the 1st city to implement a mandate for private businesses and also kids a to $5.00 to $11.00. beginning on december 14th, kids will have to show proof of vaccination if they want to put he can extra curricular activities in school like band or sports. there's a lot, we don't know about the various yet and that is challenging and frustrating. i understand for americans, for all of you, also what host says, there are still many unknowns when it comes to this new variance. diblasio says he's using this mandate as a preemptive strike, to avoid shutting down the city. what we're seeing now in other parts of the world, and this is really an area of tremendous concern. we're seeing restrictions starting to come back. we're seeing shut down. look at germany, my going german chancellor, anglo merkel urging germans to get back needed against over 19 before leaving the

office. next week isn't missing. we're in the middle of this 4th wave of the pandemic in a very serious situation. and some of our country can only be called dramatic. merkle also said the vaccinate. it will be excluded from non essential stores, recreational venues and other activities. they are doing this partly through to g. restrictions to g means someone entering any of the public spaces must either be vaccinated or have recovered from cooper 19 within the previous 6 months. and there are mixed reactions. and by this trade is being saddled with another major challenge to g is not a motor, but rather a break. and i think will only have half a visitor numbers today as we had 2 years ago. i think that's very down. i love that very much. and it worked mostly, and i'm happy to put up with the 5 minute hold you legislation is in the works looking to make vaccinations mandatory in germany by march 16th for health care workers. and those working in nursing homes loc downs in parts of austria were announced for both be vaccinated and unvaccinated. as the country counts 2500 cases

of coven contribution to say we have been fighting for this for a long time. we have been trying very hard not to take this step. we have seen a lockdown as a big disruption to the population, but now we have no other choice. in australia, massive protest continue to emerge as a government there continues to impose mandates and restrictions that protest her say are overreaching, was i want to discriminate against people who are vaccinated as i the thing i'll never happen, who is country has happened so far. when australia woman said she was taken from her home and put into a cove camp for 14 days, and according to her family, she was not infected with the virus before being taken away, salary or expect. the mandate brings it to an additional $200.00 businesses not already covered by the existing mandate for city workers and places across europe such as italy are enforcing a green pass for all public transportation reporting for you choose and hottest week r t. so in today's world,

know what corporate social media presence is complete without this steady drip of virtue signaling. now there's going to be something simple. it seems like every logo out there gets a rainbow, make over on pride month, or something more and falls like to let a labret indictment of so called toxic masculinity disguised as a razor commercial. so talk about corporation that profess commitment to progressive causes and whether it actually makes a difference when most consumers doubt their sincerity. anyways, welcome form a candidate for new york city council. kerry and burke. kerry and you've been a candidate before we understand pandering products, what politicians do best, but now we're seeing corporations also do it. do you think that actually helps find a true solution to i believe real problems that we have in this world today, especially in this country involving hate or is this just a p r move or is a real, a justice and change that comes about? i think it's the p r mills to be completely honest. i don't think most people like

myself or any of the audience watching really cares about the moves of the corporation in regards to the social media ads and all of those different statements that they make. because in reality, if you are truly well as they say, we would see her in walk actual practices in the corporate structure. so you can't be both and don't provide a living wage to your employees. you can't be both. and some of the employees are not legally here and so forth like that. so we need to get away with the political pastor in and just the you know, the, the, the great social media as kind of foolishness to the reality of what will actually need it truly me, justice. but those were disenfranchised. we have a situation where people don't even get proper paid family leave. you know,

women have to fight to take some time off to be with their children. but yet we see what's going on on social media. everyone is an advocate for something, but yet on the more serious issues the change doesn't come and that what gets here about this current issues that actually united that is actually a base that everybody, regardless of your demographic you're coming from, we can actually find something that we all needed, i agree with you on that issue. i love these companies that show that they support these different groups and yet when it comes down to it, they treat their employees as if they, they don't mean anything to them on the inside. and i think it comes down to the fact that the constant virtue say, going do you think has worked to conceal actually the true short company cummings of that company. and it allows them because they but look, we do this look away from here so that people, when they make complaints go no, but they're so great in and out to the public world. they don't care about what's going on within the workplace itself. yeah, great. it's kind of like god, the philanthropic kind of methods where you give a lot away. but in reality,

you're not really helping those that are in the immediate circle around you. so it looks good to the outside. i that you're doing all of these great, you know, big political posturing on the internet. i'm going to talk about black lives matter . i'm going to say things about l g, b, q. but reality is that some of these same issues in your firm, in your corporation, in your business, in your community. but you're not focusing on that. you do it a macro level where the regular folks, what she's actually do the micro level help them in their real day to day life. so that is the disconnect with this corporate social responsibility that we're seeing . the wants to actually see people protect their employees right there because that's where it starts. you know, the michael jackson saw i'm looking at the man in the mirror. we don't need the grand gesture. we need you to look at the people that you are around day to day and be both in those scenarios. cadets when we are going to feel like it's genuine. and

then that's when we're going to see a change. and it's given take between businesses. i think that you find the most successful businesses. i don't care what area your industry you're talking about. but when the people enjoy and feel appreciated and respected, where they work, and guess what they produce for those managers. and those owners and those owners are successful as well. but sometimes in real quick, i'll give you 30 seconds real quick to say that. do you think corporations, though it costs them to do that, they would rather spend a $1000000.00 on a marketing campaign rather than a $1000000.00 of getting green card access for their or making it legal for their employees to be there. you think it is all done on purpose? well, maybe i can a 100 percent say it on purpose, but i think possibly possibly it is easier for them to do the math at market employ because it gets more for them. it is, i, you know, you're getting the attention of the masses if you will, versus if you do something for your actual employee, a $1000000.00, no one's going to know about it. so it's kind of like ok if no one knows that you're doing good, does account in the eyes of the corporate world,

right. so i guess they chose the public side versus the private i, but all is, well, i love the corporate responsibility. let's just do it. better for you, i appreciate what you do and i think you do it. great, thank you so much for joining me. that's all the time we have a day show, a promise to continue the conversation. fall match. what are at again, hughes? use the high tech team and make sure that you download the tv app for apple or android device. thanks for watching. ah ah, that money printing is driving up the energy costs in it's gonna force russia into the you. and for that to happen. nato american military has got it. germany, i call it air 1st. you say i'm crazy,

but that's what i'm calling with a transparency for the household, privacy for the bell. this cares about privacy, where people care about is power. tune innocence has become a symbol of the battle, the privacy information is power. that's what's going on in the world issue. struggle with governments and corporations want to keep information secret and others. this democratic rights should be pushed forward and people have a right to know like the emergency room watch how assange helped shift the conversation around transparency. come see what that battle has done to him. i feel like children's life might be coming to an end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable to survive.

crisis talks between joe biden, of lima, put in a scheduled for later on. she stayed triggered by tensions of ukraine and talk exclusively to the russian president spokesperson. just reaching out to the rhetoric, coming from the u. s. and e. u leaders sounds pretty aggressive. we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion. china shrugs off a u. s. boycott to this winter olympics, pointing out the american diplomats weren't even invited as more european states imposed mandatory vaccinations, discontent sweeps the block with protests on the straits and politicians decrying what they brand troubling states coercion.
