should return to school amid this pandemic george galloway a veteran u.k. m.p. is now joining us to weigh and so george 1st let's talk about the blair's i don't know what's going on in that household but the 36 year old son of the former prime minister a private school educated lad his whole life also a yale graduate which is an ivy league university here stateside are his calls for dismantling and reassembling the education system in the u.k. a bit tone deaf and glib given all of this young man's privilege. well it's 36 years for me to be able to see agree with mr blair to a point on the. left school at 16 i went toward making enough drew i'm a graduate of the university of life. hasn't done the any harm i have long been of the view. increase in the number of people getting degrees only led to the truth in the law of the governance the fact is we have far too many sociologists. gender studies graduates war still of all media studies. enough tradespeople. yet it's men and women not enough mathematicians not enough sun time one of them engineers know enough people

george galloway and here stateside former pentagon official michael lewis as a gentlemen good to see you both george i'll start with you. both iran and venezuela are currently being sanctioned by the u.s. that they are effectively on america's nadi list if you will if american allies aren't allowed to do business with either country what's the problem with them doing business with one another. well it would be pirates in the car or be in the pretty johnny depp type of pirates but the ugly mike pompeo pirates of the caribbean it's a not draw of war which is evidently being contemplated and indeed the blockading or of another country's ports in this case venezuela is literally legally an act of war and saw the united states better caliber especially in the room up to a presidential election these are no countries with anything to lose they are very likely to retaliate in the most embarrassing really possible to the united states if any interference in this entirely legal exchange between iran and venezuela to explain this that our north sunshines between iran and venezuela no power on e

coming just at the end of this year so for more on all of this we are being joined by our panel george galloway former u.k. m.p. and of course our presidents one co-host boom bust or a gentleman george i would like to start with you some $300.00 trade personnel were on the 1st round of video chat the u.s. trade representative robert lighthouses are announced a number of objectives last year which included full access for u.s. agricultural products it was very. beg not sure what that means and reduced tariffs for u.s. manufactured goods so how receptive will elizabeth truss's team be to this ask. i think so pretty receptive not least because we've alienated just about everyone else the united states is the last board of call but of course the. alliance in this very week the alliance of britain the united states and the former soviet union crushed. the end of the 2nd world war bouts not a small thing by any means so the result. a good deal of history and so i think people in britain are. above some looking forward to a new future will we grew closer to the. hague george i mean i have to stop you

and i think we're seeing some of that other countries as well that are pushing back on china george galloway please respond. well it's 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 of their own and i'm sure you contrary to what mr bill thinks you'll 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 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 that's very questionable indeed your farm arse just sold a quarter of a 1000000 tons of soya beans to china this 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 that well that's on you with your silver and right to decide it but don't think you'll be dragging the rest of us with you because we won't be coming let's bring in i want to read something to you this is from pat buchanan i think all

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 we've kind of taken over that mantle now am i wrong. no you're right of course there are benefits for the military industrial complex all of having an enemy but i don't see donald trump in quite the way i have a feeling the crusade he's 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 n

presidents 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 can't help but wonder just how far this will go and whether there's some way we can stop it if indeed it's taking place what are your thoughts. i think it's very difficult to stop you know the genie's kind of out of the bottle at this point and we've 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 then we're 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 so i hear in your words that you believe that china is ge

george galloway george as always thank you so much. here in washington a senate committee is holding a hearing with top health officials to talk about the state of coronavirus testing state slowly reopen this month experts say testing is crucial in preventing another wave of infections plans for accurate and easy to use tests are in the works and could be available by the end of the summer so far the u.s. has run more than $7000000.00 tests the f.d.a. is putting out a warning stop taking zantac but why is there a massive recall of this medication rick sanchez joins me next to discuss and in sports regina hampshire is a tight game from the korean baseball organization stay close or back into. yes doing down on the witch is dead warren buffett extortionist private equity job is recorded game changing record breaking losses as berkshire hathaway is holding company goes belly up. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation little community. are you going the right way or are you b

george galloway. george i'm just thinking to myself my goodness with everything going on with the coronavirus pandemic you would think they would choose a different time to protest and certainly in such a physical way as that video seemed to depict what's your take on this. well the question you us right at the beginning is the question how many conflicts can be ging hand though at the same time and that's precisely why all these questions are now being asked to see the answer how many can they handle at the same time the u.s. has got strategic bombers and warships in the south china sea might pompei or just visit to taiwan taiwan has now interfered in the hong kong issue the hong kong issue is well and truly back the issue of tibet will not be far behind the muslim question of the we girls in the sink yang province has been raging throughout ramadan as it does every ramadan every year so there's a full court press as i put it to you before on china and it's precisely to see how many of these challenge

george galloway george great to see you thanks for joining us so 1st things 1st your reaction to what the u.n. chief says. well there was very disturbing the footage that you've just shown which of course how i like to very point that the secretary general was making there's little doubt i think of that minorities are being targeted by idiots but also by law enforcement agents as we've just watched. is deeply disturbing indeed there's been a tripling of physical attacks verbal attacks on chinese people in britain in the last 5 weeks and there's not doubt many chinese people in britain my own wife who is not chinese but looks like she might be and is heavily pregnant to boot has had this in the neck herself in a pleasant middle class suburb i'm aware very aware of the dangers of this kind of madness and of course the tone for it is it by our governments who continue to fight wars or get ready to fight wars all over the world in defiance of the very same secretary general and the paul who both appealed for our nation to our great nation and military action and sanctions and so on instea

all right so taylor reporting for us and let's bring in george galloway it seems george if we were going to even out the arguments here that beijing is saying look we just want to go in there and make sure we enforce security given what we've seen in the last several months that has gone on there residents in hong kong who are protesting would say well no what you're doing is you're encroaching on our freedoms who's right here george. well i mean treason turnover is a month's session are illegal in every country more or less i would have thought and insulting the national anthem burning the flag in america there are often debates about whether these should be punished by law moscow 1 which is far more portuguese territory which came back to china the same time as hong kong has exactly the same security law and there hasn't been a stone thrown out of window broke and the difference is a significant number of people in hong kong don't want to be part of china and the united states in particular but britain also is encouraging them always important to walk in the other fellow shoes rick and

member of parliament george galloway i guess george i start there do you see this do you think the world is seeing this as an american success story. well i'm looking forward to the 1st frying of freedom noodles and i can't better your brilliant introduction seems in inverse proportion the braca duck chill of the trumpet ministration on the bottle strengths in government here in london and the actual outcome on the on the ground i'm in london it's 15 times more dangerous in london than it is in berlin which is less than 2 hours flying time away and the united states death toll is indeed the worst in the world and britain's will indeed be the 2nd worst in the world now you can make up your mind whether you think it's just a coincidence both of our leaders of the shock of blond hair are or you can conclude that both of our countries have historically and contemporaneously been doing the wrong things i mean no. stand all those countries you are. all the things that they did that we didn't do must be connected to the outcomes places like singapore china south korea this is not political had

george galloway george as always thank you so much. jobless figures in the u.s. keep skyrocketing with even more filing for unemployment we're going to scotts all that more next with ben swan and in the sports h.q. regina hamm brings us the story of one man this literally climbing to new heights and has become an internet sensation you don't want to miss that we're back into. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those great. sinks. week to ask. yes. dong the witch is dead for an extortionist private equity job is reported game changing record breaking losses as berkshire hathaway is holding company goes belly up. the number of americans filing for unemployment continues to go up also going up the number of children that are food insecure so for more o

george galloway george 1st can you address our slow vanderlei and campaign for the joint measure in raising funds to fight the pandemic is this the best way or do member state states need to address the specific needs of their own country. well along me please a brief laugh at the idea of my company or talking about the rules based international order when no one has done more to trash trample underfoot every rule that has been broken over the last few years than his administration from venezuela to iran and everywhere else around the world i favor individual states controlling their fundraising and expenditure for reasons of transparency and accountability i'm not much in favor of pouring hundreds of millions of pounds dollars into an emu supranational and on transponder on accountable bureaucracy but clearly there has to be an investigation into the origin of the coronavirus it could of course have come from the us funded laboratory in one hand but cambridge university already identified the original source of the break out of the virus many hundreds of miles to the south of one and we no

george galloway so george what do you think of the chinese foreign ministry spokesman for the language there. well blistering indicates that china is rapidly running out of patience with those mounting the scapegoating campaign they have just as predicted would started with retaliate against australia sometimes insultingly referred to as the gum on china shoe they have placed 80 percent target on all australian goods and services coming into china which will of course have a devastating impact on australia's economy which relies very heavily on trade with china and the will shortly i predict do the same with canada and both are a warning shot to the united states and to britain for about martha that china isn't going to put up with this for an unlimited time the truth is mandela you and i can delude ourselves into imagining that your country and mine which have by far and away the warst record on the coronavirus pandemic the greatest number of cases the greatest number of deaths we are rapidly catching up with you with a mere fraction of your population but you and us are the worst in

george galloway also another george is the george show george gavin newsom an investor and expert on the economy with a very large following by the way on social media especially on you tube. check him out galloway i'm going to begin with you you're in europe it's finally happening hah the masses are pushing back against the all powerful central banks what do you make of that. well this is really about germany not being prepared to shoulder a disproportionate. from the media. and of course longer. devastation caused by the coronavirus this is. it it's a battle between the german government and the national european union this is one of the good reasons for. leaving the european union i'm glad to say we decided to do we need to get out the end of the year or we'll be left to shoulder some of the. the overarching point is one that i'm sure george will have a lot to say a boat which is how does it translate printing money giving it to banks on main street wall street fighting this fight and they are brimming over with money but how does that get down to those small. those small businessm

important because of the well the sheer mass right of each country's military joining us now george galloway he's a former british m.p. it seems like we're talking a lot about china. these days i don't know if that's the intent or just happenstance george what's your take on this. well i was a big comic opera as you just showed the 3 year old brawl and this brawl at the weekend was very similar they were literally punching each other and throwing stones at each other but no shot was fired none of the 3 years ago nor this time in fact no shot has been filed to cross the border for decades but once upon a time china and india for a full scale war over very piece of land over the very border there's been a lot of musical chairs rake since then but then when there really was a chinese indian war believe or not the united states was on the side of china because india was on the side of the then soviet union china and america have long had a pro park. policy was russia has long had a pro india policy now that seoul changed and so if there was a conflict not go between india and china you could be

by the president and the secretary of state strange days indeed rick well good stuff as usual george galloway for giving us the perspective on this story ever history lesson i find that fascinating as usual george it's always a pleasure to talk to you thank you again my friend. doris decided to go ahead with its may day parade despite concerns over social distancing russia on the other hand chose to do it in such a way as to respect the social distancing protocols somewhat somewhat mysteriously or as they say in a completely different fashion now these are countries by the way both valorous and russia who along with others once made up the soviet union who lost 27000000 people during world war 2 it is to say the very least a big deal to them this whole victory day which is why they oughter this day like very few others still do and it is also why they become angry when their sacrifice is not recognized which by the way also happened and we're going to tell you about that but let's begin our coverage with shop of oliver. on may 9th a man rushes celebrating victory day. this you see a significa

good stuff as usual george galloway for giving us the perspective on this story ever history lesson i find that fascinating as usual george it's always a pleasure to talk to you thank you again my friend. about much of the united states is getting ready to shift into reopening bowed to be honest with you it's kind of a bit of a mess some states are opening partially some are opening barely several putting almost completely we're going to track this for you throughout the week as it happens with course part of a show green start is joining us now with the mob to show us we're trying to explain or maybe better said try to figure out who's doing what well rick more than half the states have already started some level of reopening of their economies and there are 2 main things going on here right stay at home orders and restrictions on businesses and one being lifted doesn't necessarily mean that the other is as well in some states the home orders have expired but non-work gatherings are still restricted and in many states where non-essential businesses are opening back up people still ha

george galloway to weigh in george great to see you know 1st things 1st george when it comes to the economy will start with that 1st do the policymakers they have it right and this will be a historic recession for the e.u. . almost certainly it's going to be an historic recession the task will be to try and avoid done 1930 s. style depression. the only way out is rearmament and war and that's why i'm sore larm the lower part of your broadcast the maneuvers in the dark in the south china sea of the events in venezuela over the last few days a kind of be of piglets school where american led mercenaries landed on the beaches captured by fish on one of the maneuvers in the persian gulf the clue being in the name just like in the name south china sea these maneuvers could very well lead to a real crash and there are people who would favor as a means of kickstarting economic activity but of course the terrifying risk is a conflagration which would quickly get out of control force world war style i remind you that the pro you would to the 1st world war were precisely these kind of trade wars scram

that story as we explain the macro side of that story and now as usual let's do the analysis george galloway former u.k. m.p. joining us now to take their support for us your impressions george over the top of this sudden incident that seems to be blowing up there in the south china sea what is it. well it's you know that is similar to our recent discussion about the power of john gulf and again the clue is in the name whoever has a claim on these islands is certainly isn't the united states of america which is a very long way indeed from the south china sea neither was the united states navy acting on behalf of vietnam i don't need to remind you that this was the day in 1975 when the vietnamese people chased the american ambassador or off the roof of his embassy and neither is the us acting on behalf of malaysia or on behalf of the philippines it may or may not be acting on behalf of taiwan but richard nixon made a strategic decision a very long time ago that the united states relations were with china and that there was only one china straw this is a very dangerous point that we've reached

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 that's 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 ahe

george galloway my thanks to you sir. so much has been written and talked about today regarding the coronavirus numbers coming out of russia the purity of russia is that while the caseload there is high the mortality rate is low there are many explanations that are being offered for this is the reporting. or is it have to do with patience is does it have to do with the health care system in the way these patients are being treated what is it joining us now from moscow is our t.v. correspondent shop of all over europe can you try and give us a sense of why it is that the lethality of the mortality rate is as low as it is in russia. yes sure. here are the numbers of course since the beginning of the pandemic there's been 2418 death cases and russia that's good news is that rake and fast and slow almost i just have to say not just me but all russians have to say a big thank you to all the doctors nurses medical ambulance drivers and all those involved for the absolutely outstanding work that truly here is what is significant
