city where de blasio might be considered the grand she's so christmas as children ages 5 and of our them are giving demands for proof of a double vaccination to be put in place. we will give you the response if that's germany, or 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 a one woman story in the camp as well as the fine she faces when she is cleared. 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 being put in the crosshairs of an activist group . change is not free, but could it cost 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 comma? 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. you know, 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 politicians are hyping, the so called diplomatic boy caught of the basic winter olympics which are purely wishful thinking. and granular handing manipulation is a blatant of the spirit of the olympic charter to an outright political java cation . it's seriously on one point and more gillian, chinese people. so this guy,

a reason behind this actually as was what will be the result we bring in a micro maloof for me it's thing artificial. and chris sent it us china relations expert and author. here you go feeding the dragon. thank you so much for joining us, chris. and michael, i'm, it's 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 bio ministration. if the speaker plus even said it that this is going to be comics, i've got to ask you what the recent headlines is this happening because of the attention being given to the test. her 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,

god knows 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 encroach made 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 train 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 t o in the pool, but we're also allowing athletes to still compete. and we'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 did i didn't 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 communist 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 are you holding your breath or do you think at this stage of the game, 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 warned 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 will 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 michael loop on this because there's another aspect to this. china is it has the recent involving china. there's. busy 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 plains. we use had the technology, you know, to face their terry lord also made the announcement at the 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 and 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 ignores just ignoring 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, and 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 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 ministrations carrying on. they want confrontation, not only with china, but with russia, and we can't him of fight a, a, a 2 front war, let alone a one from which is real quick. i want to get to this in 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 u. s. keep pushing is what can the united states gain out of siding with ukraine? well, it's a number of factors. number one to 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 the failure of afghanistan and, and it's the violent ministration trying to reassert dominance in the so called free world. well, the problem is you want to unite the 2 and you don't want to make the enemy an enemy. and i don't that well, but you, china in rush aren't necessarily best friends either. well, got through quickly. are talking about working together. did you say 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 diplomatic strategy, chris. i go thank you for joining me on this saturday night cnn decided to separate ties with 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. to discuss this

bringing and rece, efferson founder, the blush project, and archie is very on steve malls, burg host. the us 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 to, jackson was not had done a lot more for his brother than he originally told c n n. he had done originally it 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 with the facing sexual misconduct allegations?

so chris cuomo on 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 palermo did a lot more than he originally told. see and, and he did, he give 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 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 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 action to 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 see an in 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 investment based on the, the geisha from lateesha, james, the aging 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, oh 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 and 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, in brief, we're going to continue to follow sir, but here's what gets 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 the 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 jamie reason. steve. thank

you. now when we return, go welk, go broke, is a popular a catch phrase 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 you'll be you all know what they did not valuable me being behind mirror. no, no you on my head up my and you get a new knuckle. my love bob again thought, no, well i'm going up there a bit, a well, i mean, a happy correlation. suburban, i mean, tonia long. i can do that. then i

got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on a very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk 100 mic. no said, you know, borders and just lied to nationalities and you various as a merge we don't have with therapy, we don't have a vaccine. the whole world leads to take action. that would be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better. we should be

better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to response, has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with ah, as porter weather approaches, concerns of the oma corn variant is bracing countries around the world. but here at home, new york is taking a very calculated approach or to correspond, touch, afraid has more on this new mandate being implemented, new york city is being hit with 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 indoctrination. but they're not quite sure how they can do it themselves. well, we're going to do it. new york, mirabelle de blasio 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 we'll 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 85 to 11. but getting on december 14th, kids will have to show proof of vaccination if they want to partake and extra curricular activities in school like band or sports. there's a lot we don't know about the very end yet, and that is challenging and frustrating. i understand for americans, for all of you, the white house says there are still many unknowns when it comes to this new very

entity, blasio says he is 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 downs, look of germany, my outgoing german chancellor angle, and merkel urging germans to get vaccinated against cover 19 before leaving office . next week is admitted. we're in the middle of this 4th wave of the pandemic in a very serious situation. and some parts of our country can only be call 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 started with. another major challenge to g is not a motor, but rather a break. and i think we'll only have half a visitor numbers today as we had 2 years ago. i think that's very down. i wasn't

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, locked downs, and parts of austria were announced for both be vaccinated and unvaccinated. as 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 cited just disgusting thing. i've never seen it happen so far. when australia woman saying she was taken from her home and put into a covert camp for 14 days and according to her family,

she was not infected. ringback with the virus before being taken away, salary or sexy 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 path for all public transportation reporting. forties, you choose and hotter week r t. so in today's world, no corporate social media presence is complete without this steady drip of virtue signaling. now this can be something simple with his like every logo out there gets a rainbow, make over on pride month or something more involved like july's elaborate 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 down there, sincerity. anyways, who come forward 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 a 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 certain woke actual practices in the corporate structure. so you can't be whoa, and don't provide a living wage to your employee. 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 me, 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 more serious issues, the change doesn't come. and then what gets here about the 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 what they treat their employees as if 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 to kind of say, but look, we do this look away from here. so that people, when they make complaints go no, but they're so great and out to the public world. they don't care about what's going on within the workplace itself. yeah, i agree. it 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 pastor in on the internet. i'm going to talk about black lives matter . i'm going to say things about l g, b t q. but reality is that you have 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 to disconnect what 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 because that's what we are going to feel like it's genuine. and then that's when we're going to see a change, and it's a 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 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 theirs or making it legal for their employees to be there. you think it is all done on purpose? well, maybe i can 100 percent say it on purpose, but i think possibly possibly it is easier for them to do the math 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 do it better. 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 show, a promise to continue the conversation. follow me on twitter at again hughes, that tech team and make sure that you download the app for apple or android device . thanks for watching. ah, [000:00:00;00]

ah . ah. that breaking toil forced labor stress? industrial injury. corporal punishment. oh no. words with which we're

all familiar. are you certain that the world you live in abolish slavery long ago? a wrong one. all right. just don't hold any world. yes. to shape out the same becomes the advocate and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh, is your media a reflection of reality?

in the world transformed? what will make you feel safe? isolation or community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct? what is true, what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend, who join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. all that money printing is driving up the energy costs, and it's gonna force russia into the you. and for that to happen, nato and american military is got it. germany, i call it air 1st. you say, i'm crazy,

but that's what i'm calling with this alice help headlines here with our teeth. crisis talks between joe biden and vladimir putin are under way ultimately triggered by the tensions over ukraine. and here at our t, we speak exclusively to the russian president's spokes person just to make it clear which of the rectory can 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. breaking news here were naughty international to people that killed and for injured of a shooting at a public services center. in se moscow, the pope condemned the so called inclusive language or the

e you saying it threatens that blocked very existence while comparing it even to
