[00:00:00] a continent of opportunity, equality and progress
[00:00:04] for every child, woman and man.
[00:00:07] of this is our
[00:00:09] of Africa, and the future is in our
[00:00:12] hands.
[00:00:27] Russia closes all of its beaches in the resort.
[00:00:31] as active air
[00:00:32] of defense operations counter drone threats to the area, earlier
[00:00:36] Ukrainian attack on the black
[00:00:37] of sea coastline killed eight civilians, also
[00:00:41] distressing images
[00:00:42] me ahead,
[00:00:49] of
[00:00:51] of a no safe space left in Ukraine,
[00:00:55] Kiyev's mobilization enforces brutally assault a
[00:00:58] teenager
[00:00:59] in a... beating his girlfriend as they drag the
[00:01:02] 19-year-old out of a stopped
[00:01:05] of vehicle and Tucker Carlson launches his 10-point
[00:01:09] vision for America promising to break the traditional two-party strangle
[00:01:13] hold on US
[00:01:14] of politics. Our panel of guests ways in on whether the shift is
[00:01:18] actually feasible. Are people
[00:01:21] of willing to actually put in the work that goes
[00:01:24] of beyond the money. Populism is the name
[00:01:26] of the game at this point. We see populist and insurgent candidates.
[00:01:30] and political movements all throughout the world, especially uh in the
[00:01:33] west. the two main parties, the Republicans and Democrats were virtually
[00:01:37] identical in many, many
[00:01:38] ways.
[00:01:53] here on RT air defense operations to counter Ukrainian
[00:01:57] drone threats are currently active in Russia's south. Beaches
[00:02:01] across popular resort towns like Gallinjik, Kabardinka and
[00:02:04] Divn Morscoya have been closed, according to local
[00:02:07] official. Well, that's as last week, a Ukrainian
[00:02:11] drone hit a packed tourist beach in gelenjek, killing eight
[00:02:15] people, half
[00:02:16] of of them children. Witnesses
[00:02:18] of the attack pointed out there were no military installations
[00:02:21] nearby. Well, meanwhile, Moscow's
[00:02:24] forces have taken control
[00:02:26] of the settlement of Ivanovka in Ukraine's Harkov region according.
[00:02:30] to defense
[00:02:30] of ministry report. In the city of Odessa, Russian
[00:02:34] UAVs struck two dry cargo vessels at sea, which
[00:02:38] were delivering weapons and military equipment to
[00:02:41] in Ukrainian ports. Earlier, Russia's Mod confirmed two more
[00:02:44] naval tankers were destroyed
[00:02:46] of in the Black Sea. And overnight, Russia's armed
[00:02:50] forces carried out massive strikes on military enterprises in
[00:02:54] a the Ukrainian capital. The group strike was launched with
[00:02:57] ground-based high precision weapons. The Firepoint
[00:03:00] industrial facility which builds components and warheads for Ukraine's
[00:03:04] Flamingo ground-launched
[00:03:06] of cruise missiles was targeted. Meanwile,
[00:03:10] Ukraine's brutal conscription campaign has
[00:03:12] of reached new lows. In Odessa, teenager was beaten and dragged
[00:03:16] out of taxi by local recruitment officers depite
[00:03:20] of despite his girlfriend's attempts to save him from Kiev's forced
[00:03:23] mobilization.
[00:03:50] me of
[00:04:00] of Well Keyevs draconian conscription practices have
[00:04:03] of sparked outrage across Ukraine, the public
[00:04:06] of has also spoken out about widespread corruption and other
[00:04:09] damaging policies the Zelinsky government has adopted. The
[00:04:13] frustrations were laid bear
[00:04:14] in a new
[00:04:16] of sociological poll which RTS Ferita Singotilina breaks
[00:04:18] down. If there's anything that Ukrainians are more fit up with
[00:04:22] than drone attacks and
[00:04:23] of the of war of itself, it's corruption, and that's been confirmed by new
[00:04:27] poll which shows that over 49%. percent
[00:04:30] of the population see
[00:04:32] of graft as the country's biggest hurdle. now one thing to keep in mind
[00:04:36] is who carried out the survey. sosus, the center
[00:04:39] responsible for the poll, was founded by a political strategist who
[00:04:43] worked for years with former pro-western
[00:04:45] presidentko. while his involvement may cast
[00:04:49] doubt over the survey's
[00:04:51] of impartiality, one thing is clear. this
[00:04:54] of poll does send message. apart from revealing that Kiev's
[00:04:57] policies such as forced mobilization. are seen as a bigger problem
[00:05:01] than losing territory to Russia, it shows that the easiest way to
[00:05:05] hit Zelensky where it hurts is to call out the corruption plaguing his
[00:05:09] government. Here's a stark reminder that in Ukraine. Seems like
[00:05:13] everyone wants their cut. Just look at the most recent case: one day you're
[00:05:17] Ukraine's ambassador in Washington, and the next you're explaining why the
[00:05:21] apartments, luxury properties, and Mercedes you paid for weren't
[00:05:24] purchased under your name. Nabu and Sapo reported a
[00:05:28] suspicion of ilicit enrichment of more than
[00:05:30] $310,00 and of making false declarations.
[00:05:34] According to the investigation, the person owned two apartments in the Finer Town
[00:05:38] residential complex registered to a friend, worth almost 200.
[00:05:43] The official income the suspect would not allow her to purchase such
[00:05:47] property. According to Ukraine's national anti-corruption
[00:05:50] Bureau, Alga Stephanitioner controlled a whole portfolio of
[00:05:54] high-end assets, many of which were registered to other people.
[00:05:58] Take for example, the apartment under close friend's name worth
[00:06:01] around $250,000. Another
[00:06:05] apartment registered to her mother, parking spaces and several commercial
[00:06:09] premises in the same residential complex owned on paper by her
[00:06:13] father, yet when she appeared in court, Stephanisyana said she could
[00:06:17] not afford bail. I am unable to pay the bail
[00:06:21] out of my own funds, even if I were to find a way to do so, I would be unable
[00:06:25] to provide for my family. Another famous case involves a former air
[00:06:29] force logistics commander Andre Ukrainetz. According to
[00:06:33] prosecutors, he somehow managed to acquire six apartments, three
[00:06:36] houses, six plots of land and four cars, all a
[00:06:40] government salary, and then... Ukrainian investigators found
[00:06:44] luxury apartments in bal linked the head of a military food
[00:06:48] supply unit, a low-ranking commander. In fact, the major had
[00:06:52] purchased luxury properties worth
[00:06:53] $190,000.
[00:06:57] Let's get started. You gave us the money, you already did that, forget about it. I'll
[00:07:01] deal with it now. We want to congratulate you, we really wish you successful
[00:07:05] investment, and we saved the biggest hall for last
[00:07:09] in 2025, apparently the hardest challenge for. key
[00:07:12] officials wasn't stealing cash, it was lifting
[00:07:16] it. nebu's graft investigation into energy sector bureaucrats
[00:07:20] brought this recording to light where the suspects complained about hauling
[00:07:24] around heavy boxes. how did you manage to carry the
[00:07:27] box to him? well it wasn't that hard. no, what
[00:07:31] box did he give you? it has a handle like laptop, but wrapped
[00:07:35] up. that's it. added some stuff to it because took million and gave
[00:07:39] 1.6 million in the same box, but carrying... 1.6
[00:07:43] million, all this way is such a drag. so
[00:07:46] Ukraine's anti-corruption agency certainly has more than enough
[00:07:50] its plate, be it the former ambassador to the US or a low-ranking
[00:07:54] commander, everyone has their own illegal income scheme, and for
[00:07:58] Ukrainians, it's just another war that can't be
[00:08:01] won. Iran says it will
[00:08:05] decide the future of shipping in the straight of hormos as it warns foreign
[00:08:08] actors to stay out of its negotiations with oman.
[00:08:12] comes as Washington claims the critical waterway will soon
[00:08:16] reopen, but passage for American ships is apparently not
[00:08:19] guaranteed. I think shortly, maybe even
[00:08:23] today, tomorrow we are going to see see an agreement
[00:08:27] at 360-day ceasefire and
[00:08:31] um straight will be open, energy prices should come
[00:08:34] down. The enemy will be forced to accept Iran's conditions to
[00:08:38] reopen the straight and must refrain from the interference in the negotiation.
[00:08:42] currently taking place between Iran, Oman and other countries, which have
[00:08:46] nearly reached their conclusion. They must accept Iran's
[00:08:49] conditions. Whenever America accepts Iran's conditions, the straight
[00:08:53] of Homus will certainly be reopened. We're shipping
[00:08:57] through the choke point has been onhold for a month after fresh hostilities between
[00:09:01] Iran and the US saw most traffic frozen. Iranian state
[00:09:05] media report only eight ships passed through the straight on
[00:09:09] Friday. Iran says it's... close to reaching a deal
[00:09:13] with Oman on the legal framework to manage the straight of Hormus,
[00:09:17] specifically concerning future shipping roots, the new plan is
[00:09:21] believed to give Toron full control of all maritime activity in the
[00:09:24] straight. Iranian state media has revealed a number
[00:09:28] the deal's details citing source in
[00:09:31] parliament. Well, the document states that
[00:09:35] entry of US in Israeli ships will be banned as well as vessels from countries
[00:09:39] with sanctions on Iran. Violators would reportedly be hit with
[00:09:43] penalties of up to 20% the cargo's value. For
[00:09:46] its part, the revolutionary guard will decide on tariffs for providing
[00:09:50] security, something the US vehemently opposes. An Iranian
[00:09:54] academic says relentless American aggression forced Toron to
[00:09:58] act. The US is not going to like that, but they have
[00:10:02] other choice. They can go back to war and they will get
[00:10:06] hit more. So they need to realize that they are not going
[00:10:09] to have the this. state of formus used
[00:10:13] in the manner that they have used it in the past it is a strategic
[00:10:17] and also Iran has other choice, the United States used a state
[00:10:21] of formus to attack Iran, they used.
[00:10:25] of almost to build these bases in the Persian Gulf, it's
[00:10:29] Iran's right, under
[00:10:32] the UN charter, article 51, to defend itself
[00:10:35] when Iran is attacked, and under
[00:10:38] un conventional law of seas ships that
[00:10:42] pass through these states are supposed to do innocent passage,
[00:10:46] and if you are attacking a country, killing it civilians, killing
[00:10:49] its leaders, attacking its
[00:10:53] infrastructure, obviously you are not... anything innocent and
[00:10:57] Iran is going to exercise that right under international
[00:11:00] law to make sure that US behaves properly and
[00:11:04] Iran is not endangered
[00:11:06] by the United States. Well, even as tensions rise over the
[00:11:10] straight of hormoos, Pakistan's defense ministry has announced that
[00:11:13] Muslims should unite to face the threat of West
[00:11:17] Jerusalem. When it comes to Israel, all
[00:11:21] Muslim countries should come together, there is absolutely no ambiguity.
[00:11:25] in my mind about that, in my view, there is no room for disagreement on
[00:11:28] this, and until the issue the Palestinian people is resolved, according
[00:11:32] to their aspirations, until there is a permanent solution, the issue
[00:11:36] will remain. well, that comes as Turkia,
[00:11:40] Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia have signed a joint defense
[00:11:44] pact. the agreement establishes a collective framework whereby an
[00:11:48] armed attack any one them will be treated as an attack on
[00:11:51] all three. signed in Mecca, the document ties
[00:12:25] Together, the three countries could be a significant combined power,
[00:12:29] with Pakistan providing nuclear deterrant, Saudi Arabia,
[00:12:33] financial might, and Turkia, a large battle tested
[00:12:36] military. The pact could therefore give all sides capabilities, they
[00:12:40] would struggle to provide on their own. Meanwile, Toron's foreign minister
[00:12:44] has backed calls for Muslim countries to unite and become
[00:12:48] stronger. Iran's powerful
[00:12:52] armed forces have shown their readiness, capability, might in face
[00:12:55] the world's most expensive military, when Muslims stand
[00:12:59] together, we can face every challenge by malicious outsiders head on,
[00:13:03] time to rely only on ourselves and embrace true
[00:13:06] brotherhood. We can discuss this
[00:13:09] now live with editor and chief the Islamabad telegraph,
[00:13:13] Casbar Klas. Casbar, good to have you on the program. You know, for
[00:13:16] decades, global security has largely been shaped by the US,
[00:13:20] Russia, and China, and now we have this new pact that combines three
[00:13:24] prominent nations. in the muslim world, do you think that we're seeing the emergence
[00:13:28] of new global power
[00:13:35] pointed out that the three powerful countries the muslim world
[00:13:39] have joined hand together and as you have just
[00:13:42] said that attack any one these countries will
[00:13:46] be pronounced as attack on all the and this is highly
[00:13:50] significant and let tell you that this is not
[00:13:53] an a brought decision by the three
[00:13:56] powers rather they have been deliberating, they have been meeting in
[00:14:00] the past and for for a couple of years the deliberation has been
[00:14:04] going on and they just concluded and the timing is really
[00:14:08] important,
[00:14:08] you know the Iranian has attacked the territory a
[00:14:12] couple of times in followed by the US Iran war and also
[00:14:16] same in the condition that how these have fired misals on
[00:14:20] on the territory of you know Saudi Arabia as well Saudi Arabia is
[00:14:24] the "it the center the Muslim world timing
[00:14:27] and so is really important I think this is really one the
[00:14:31] best decision that the three countries had taken
[00:14:35] and apart that apart from that the most
[00:14:38] important most significant you know the
[00:14:42] statement has just come from the secretary of organization
[00:14:46] of Islamic countries not only they spotted it but also
[00:14:50] they endorsed it I think this is the right time that the Muslim
[00:14:53] world is" going to unite against common threat
[00:14:57] and definitely not the Saudi Arabia, not Pakistan in Turkey
[00:15:01] but Muslim world will be the beneficialy of this agreement
[00:15:05] and you know Turkey is is the member of
[00:15:09] NATO, Pakistan is the America you know
[00:15:13] the Muslims only nuclear power and has one
[00:15:16] the power most powerful
[00:15:19] military and also it's economic power when it comes to
[00:15:23] discuss Saudi Arabia. so I think this
[00:15:26] patter is not only going to benefit the three but also it is
[00:15:30] going to beneficial for the entire Muslim world as well
[00:15:34] so there's been no official reaction yet from W
[00:15:37] Jerusalem, but in February the former Israeli prime minister and of taliben
[00:15:41] accused Turkey of trying to create a quote hostile sunni
[00:15:44] access with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, in light of
[00:15:48] this pact that's now been signed, how justified do you think his claims
[00:15:52] are? well yes, very good
[00:15:55] question and when it come to discuss the the
[00:15:59] brotherhood and the you know the cooperation
[00:16:03] bet Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, they have been
[00:16:06] brotherly the... have been cooperating in the since
[00:16:10] 1947 the the time Pakistan came into being
[00:16:13] and it's Saudi Arabia has stand up with the
[00:16:17] Pakistani side whenever needed let tell you and
[00:16:21] the same is the condition when we talk about Turkish and Saudi
[00:16:24] Arabia relationship let me draw your attention to the
[00:16:28] one the biggest deal that happened between the two countries in
[00:16:32] 2023 Saudi Arabia important
[00:16:36] sophisticated drawn t technology, drones and and and
[00:16:39] sophisticated weapons from from
[00:16:42] Turkia in 2023, that was actually the point
[00:16:46] when the two side peak their bilateral
[00:16:49] relationship, so I believe
[00:16:51] it is something
[00:16:53] this packet, trilateral packet is something that has
[00:16:56] translated from the bilateral relationship to the trilateral
[00:17:00] relationship and and I am getting some
[00:17:04] insight from my source not only Islamabad and from
[00:17:08] riyad as well that there is a consent
[00:17:11] that this pact will attract some other
[00:17:15] nations as well and yeah you are rightly pointed
[00:17:18] out some the powerful western countries
[00:17:22] have been
[00:17:24] you know raising finger on on this fact as well but one thing is very
[00:17:27] interesting let tell you that Pakistan inj
[00:17:31] relationship with with Trump administration same is the
[00:17:35] condition with the Turkey as well but was
[00:17:39] received with with with you know open rounds by the
[00:17:42] trump administration as well and they are selling up 35 st
[00:17:46] aircraft to turkey as well so they have good
[00:17:49] relationship with with the trump administration as well and
[00:17:53] united states is you know the power when it
[00:17:57] come to the discuss the western power as well so this
[00:18:00] try lateral this strika this pact mecca pact is
[00:18:04] actually have been endorsed long. a time
[00:18:08] ago, it has been endorsed by the Trump administration as
[00:18:12] well, all the three countries are actually very close to Trump
[00:18:16] administration as well, this is how this is
[00:18:20] you know why the the
[00:18:23] the you know the negative point from the western
[00:18:27] world is not taken into consideration by the
[00:18:31] Trump administration as well, so this is just the beginning, I think
[00:18:34] this macca pact is not only
[00:18:37] acceptable by the Trump administration
[00:18:40] but also later on more most of more the
[00:18:44] Islamic countries will join them and also if
[00:18:47] any you know negative points that that may
[00:18:51] come from the western side they will be neutralized by the Trump
[00:18:55] administration as well so in all respects this tax
[00:18:59] is actually you receiveed with open loss not
[00:19:03] only by the western world but also from Trump administration and
[00:19:06] also from the organization of Islamic countries as well, this is the
[00:19:10] win-win situation. So Pakistan's defense minister said that
[00:19:14] all Muslim nations must unite against Israel. What are your
[00:19:18] thoughts on those remarks? Do you think that's something that could be possible? Could
[00:19:21] Israel be a uniting factor for the Muslim
[00:19:25] world? Well, let tell you, there is
[00:19:29] no denying, every country in the world
[00:19:32] believe that you know the Israelis
[00:19:36] are the center of... even when we come when we
[00:19:39] talk about the current situation there in middle east that has we have
[00:19:43] come to this point just because of Israel and it was
[00:19:47] Israel that actually prompted
[00:19:50] sorry the trump administration to unlease attack on
[00:19:54] Iran and now we are facing another cast of tropic in middle
[00:19:57] is one point and secondly khaja asif the defense minister one the
[00:20:01] powerful minister in Pakistan and he has been
[00:20:05] very close to the military and very close to you know the
[00:20:09] civilian administration of Pakistan as well when he says
[00:20:12] that the Israelis or the apex center
[00:20:16] of evil it means Pakistan's military
[00:20:19] establishment Pakistan civilian and also the 24
[00:20:23] million to 40 million people of Pakistan are on the same page
[00:20:27] when it comes to discus Israel and also the organization of Islamic
[00:20:31] country most the countries are the part of this OEC they
[00:20:34] believe that Israel or the apex. center
[00:20:38] Israeli or the center of evil on earth
[00:20:42] and has times and again pointing out that organization
[00:20:46] of Islamic country will have to form a grand.
[00:20:50] alliance against the
[00:20:52] Israelis as well, I think this is gonna happen very soon as well and Pakistanis
[00:20:56] and most the Muslim worlds, millions the people across
[00:21:00] the muslim world believe in Khaj Assad statement as well, Pakistan has
[00:21:04] been stating that no diplomatic
[00:21:07] relationship can be formed with Israelies
[00:21:11] until the Israel give self the
[00:21:15] right of self determination to the people of Gaza to the people
[00:21:19] of. so this is
[00:21:21] a that line not only for Pakistan defense minister
[00:21:25] for but organization of Islamic country most the Islamic
[00:21:28] country are have joined Pakistan when it
[00:21:32] comes to discuss the faith of palestinian,
[00:21:35] this is right, let me tell you that Pakistan and
[00:21:38] majority the Muslim world will never ever
[00:21:42] accept Israel until Israel give right of self
[00:21:45] determination to the Palestinian and the Palestinian.
[00:21:50] state and kh remark statement have
[00:21:54] been well received not only by the pakistanis but
[00:21:57] also if i say i will not
[00:22:00] ver that actually represented millions
[00:22:04] the muslim
[00:22:06] the people across of and he was well received okay we're going to
[00:22:09] leave there that's editor and chief the islamabad telegraph
[00:22:19] already looking beyond Iran, growing opinions in Israeli strategic
[00:22:23] circle suggest Turkia could be the next target.
[00:22:27] On the latest episode of going underground here on RT, Afsen Ratansi speaks
[00:22:30] to Professor Hassan Unal to explore how this view is being received
[00:22:34] in Ankara. The full conversation airs later today. Meanwhile, here's
[00:22:38] a quick preview. Does uh
[00:22:42] Erdowan realize that Israel has Turkia uh in
[00:22:45] its sights as the next target after Iran
[00:22:49] uh... does does Turkey understand that? Well, I
[00:22:53] would think it does, um, but on the other
[00:22:56] hand, um, I would say that Israel is a
[00:23:00] bit,
[00:23:01] you know, talking a bit too much about,
[00:23:04] you know, boasting about this and the other,
[00:23:07] and
[00:23:08] the next target is going to be Turkey, oh, certainly
[00:23:12] trying to punch much higher than their weight, you know,
[00:23:16] how are you going to basically strike Turkey if you do?
[00:23:20] that then you are going to basically and it is like
[00:23:24] poking into the into the
[00:23:28] beast nest basically a
[00:23:31] region which is already very very
[00:23:33] volatile said about Iran beforehand
[00:23:37] when no one thought they were going to do this yep yep and particularly
[00:23:41] after basically Iran gave them a bloody
[00:23:45] nose I mean talking in
[00:23:48] such a ch'. this way saying that Turkey is going to be
[00:23:52] the next target, and okay, the Turkish
[00:23:56] institutions, the military, the intelligence and
[00:23:59] all the other related institutions basically do their
[00:24:02] job, but politically you don't take them serious, would
[00:24:06] you?
[00:24:11] the senior united nations official has allegedly been caught feeding
[00:24:15] confidential UN data to Israel, the
[00:24:19] allegation center on Yahav Lichtner, a former
[00:24:22] Israeli diplomat who served in the UN system before taking up his current
[00:24:26] post as UNICEF's Washington director. leaked
[00:24:30] correspondence reportedly shows him sharing internal UN reports
[00:24:33] and arranging private briefings with Israeli officials were
[00:24:37] working at the organization. Revelations are now raising questions
[00:24:41] over whether his previous ties to Israel were ever properly
[00:24:44] scrutinized. RT received an official response from UNICEF regarding
[00:24:48] this issue. UNICEF is aware of serious
[00:24:51] allegations concerning an employee and is taking the appropriate action.
[00:24:55] If true, such actions would be inconsistent with staff obligations under the
[00:24:59] UN charter, the staff regulations
[00:25:01] and the standards of conduct for the international civil service, all of which
[00:25:05] emphasize that the responsibilities of staff are international, not
[00:25:08] national, and which call for the independence and impartiality the staff
[00:25:12] the UN. A UN consultant at the International
[00:25:16] Association for human rights and social development told us. has
[00:25:20] been allowed to act outside the norms of international
[00:25:23] law. the later emails show that
[00:25:27] a senior UNICEF official in Washington
[00:25:30] shared confidential UN information with
[00:25:34] Israeli diplomats. this is not one bad
[00:25:38] appal
[00:25:39] as as it could be mentioned. this is a proof that Israel has
[00:25:43] been infiltrating the UN for years. an
[00:25:46] agency that should protect children was instead.
[00:25:50] helping a state that is killing thousand of children in
[00:25:54] Gaza, the UN is not in this case and in this sense
[00:25:57] neutral, it has uh been captured by the current
[00:26:01] system. and unfortunately by the sionist
[00:26:05] interests as well, so Israel is not hiding one
[00:26:09] secret, I think it is hiding a
[00:26:12] system of crimes, the spine happened during the UN
[00:26:16] investigation of Israel's 2014 war on
[00:26:20] Israel where over
[00:26:23] 2,200 palestinian were killed,
[00:26:26] Israel wanted to stop the investigation before it
[00:26:30] started, today ' Israel is doing the same
[00:26:34] thing but a much more large scale
[00:26:37] a genocide in Gaza with more than 50,000
[00:26:41] deaths. Israel spice not to hide one fact,
[00:26:45] but to destroy accountability itself. it
[00:26:49] believe it is above all international law, and the
[00:26:53] worst lets it believe
[00:26:54] that. conservative
[00:26:58] journalist Tucker Carlson has unveiled a 10-point vision for the future.
[00:27:03] of America. He aims to break away from the traditional US
[00:27:07] two-party system and forge a third political
[00:27:09] path. Tucker's manifesto focuses
[00:27:13] heavily on domestic matters ranging from public health and urban
[00:27:17] planning to procreation and education. Meanwhile, his
[00:27:21] foreign policy outlook dictates that the US should strictly steer clear of
[00:27:25] foreign interventions and avoid unnecessary wars. He placed a
[00:27:29] particular emphasis on distancing the country from military and and
[00:27:32] financial involvement with Israel. Ultimately, Carlson is
[00:27:36] questioning why the agendas of America's two opposing parties are hardly
[00:27:40] distinguishable. On the issues that really
[00:27:43] matter, the most obvious
[00:27:46] and historically significant expressions the exersion of power, which
[00:27:50] would be foreign policy and the budget, tax code.
[00:27:54] The parties are aligned, they're the same, they have the same agenda, exactly the same agenda, and they
[00:27:58] go through this whole song and dance to convince us, no, we're really blood enemies. but are they
[00:28:02] really? no, they're not. prior to sharing his goal for
[00:28:06] America, Tucker Carlson fueled the political fire storm by hosting
[00:28:10] magaways at his estate, among them were Marjery Taylor
[00:28:14] Green, Thomas Massie, and former counter terrorism chief Joe
[00:28:17] Kent. all them recently had falling out with Trump, claiming the
[00:28:21] president compromised the America first doctrine. we asked panel
[00:28:25] of guests what it would take to create genuine multi-party system in the
[00:28:29] United States. look to find to found.
[00:28:33] an actual third party, it takes lots of money, because the two
[00:28:37] main parties, the republicans and democrats were virtually identical in many
[00:28:40] many ways, the one thing they do agree on more than all is to
[00:28:44] collude to prevent anyone on the ballot who will
[00:28:48] threaten them who threaten their supremacy, so it takes a lot of money, it takes a
[00:28:52] lot of work, getting on balance is extremely difficult, yes of
[00:28:56] course money is resource, but the ultimate resource is needed is people's
[00:29:00] willingness, are people willing to? actually put in the work that
[00:29:04] goes beyond the money and I think with people being fed up and the
[00:29:07] energy being there, it's completely possible to start something completely
[00:29:11] new and independent that can take off. the two-party system
[00:29:15] historically in in US electoral politics has been rigged uh, we
[00:29:19] have a 50 state, 50, the 50 states divise their own election
[00:29:22] rules and ballot access and signatures
[00:29:26] required, also there is the financial considerations that daniel was mentioning
[00:29:30] earlier, so it requires money, requires uh institutions and
[00:29:34] structures and you have to reach certain thresholds that are not aligned across the
[00:29:37] entire US. well, Jose of those who have made some sort of
[00:29:41] impact in the past, that those as as we've heard there,
[00:29:45] that core ideology of third party candidates, do they
[00:29:49] really diverge from the existing platforms the
[00:29:52] Republican and Democratic parties? uh, well,
[00:29:56] yes, actually, and I think a lot of
[00:29:58] it is because you see it with the insurgent democrats that are...
[00:30:02] coming into power now. there are many criticisms you can make
[00:30:06] them, but what they are seen as is insurgent force that is
[00:30:09] coming in and overtaking the democratic party,
[00:30:13] and uh, what are they saying? they're saying medicare for all, they're saying no
[00:30:17] money for Israel, um, and they are calling out democratic
[00:30:21] leadership, but that is the kind of energy that people want to see right
[00:30:25] now coming out of, both the democratic party and the
[00:30:28] republican party, and I think what's going to be pivotal in getting a...
[00:30:32] third party elected is a third force, which means that you'll
[00:30:36] have individuals who will run in the republican parties, in the democratic
[00:30:39] parties, but ultimately are committed to an idea of
[00:30:42] independence and away from the power structures that exist now. i
[00:30:46] think Jose makes a great point, which is we're thinking in terms of
[00:30:50] a political party, new political party, whereas it might
[00:30:54] actually be a political faction or voluntary
[00:30:58] set of set of...
