[00:00:00] reportedly
[00:00:05] of of of been running such black sites for years. Head to our website for more on this developing story. And do stay with
[00:00:08] us up next, Sansha's Effect. Bye for
[00:00:11] now.
[00:00:20] of
[00:00:33] in of of
[00:00:47] of
[00:00:55] All of right, of
[00:00:56] a hi everybody, I'm Rick Sanchez,
[00:00:57] of this is the Sanchez Effect and we want to get right. do it, because I think you've
[00:01:01] been watching what's been happening in Europe lately, there have
[00:01:04] of been uh mad protests in uh places like Italy in uh
[00:01:08] and violent by the way, violent uh skirmishes between
[00:01:12] citizens and police in Italy, in Spain, in Brussels, over the
[00:01:16] weekend, we saw them in Germany, we saw them in
[00:01:18] of Switzerland as matter of fact, the place you don't usually see this kind of
[00:01:22] thing, the the worst of all of course have been taking place
[00:01:26] periodically in in France, and we thought that we were basically...
[00:01:30] a
[00:01:31] of law there in France, but they're at it again. uh, we understand that there are
[00:01:35] now hundreds of thousands of people who have been taken to the streets, it
[00:01:39] was originally built as something that would be peaceful, that is not the case.
[00:01:43] we've got some live pictures we can show you coming in right
[00:01:46] a now, a this is it. look at this, it's like sea of humanity
[00:01:49] in in
[00:01:50] of Paris in right now, with all
[00:01:52] of of these people taking to the streets, good god,
[00:01:55] 700,000 anti-government protesters
[00:01:59] protesting the... Macron government, the government of
[00:02:03] of Emmanuel Macron, it started like a month ago, first of all when
[00:02:07] people took to the streets because they were angry about
[00:02:10] of education costs, but then it
[00:02:12] of spread, that's where it started, after that it became a
[00:02:16] protest about the economy, and uh most of
[00:02:20] it was joined by uh by workers uh
[00:02:24] by construction
[00:02:25] of workers, then transportation workers, then union
[00:02:29] workers.
[00:02:32] of of and now all
[00:02:34] in of kinds of people from the different a sectors
[00:02:34] of the workforce have been joining this
[00:02:37] a uh these these mass protests and yes they have been at
[00:02:41] times violent and they've burned parts of buildings and
[00:02:45] in they've of scuffled
[00:02:46] the with
[00:02:46] the police and uh it just does not appear that
[00:02:50] the government is able to
[00:02:52] in any way satisfy these folks have been
[00:02:55] de taken to the streets over the last month
[00:02:57] we we do have our correspondents following this
[00:03:01] where we've attempted to see if we can uh make uh if we can touch
[00:03:05] base with him real quick Yasem is uh the correspondent who's
[00:03:09] been
[00:03:09] me following this what what is there he is yes Yasim we see you what
[00:03:13] of is the situation right now my
[00:03:16] of friend well in republic square thousands of people are
[00:03:20] converging on the square and while this is happening police are
[00:03:23] detaining protesters left right and center I can only say that
[00:03:27] I haven't visually seen any acts of aggressive. and so I can't really uh atest
[00:03:31] to why they've been detained, but I've been to different locations across the French Capital
[00:03:35] and
[00:03:36] of I've seen very similar scenes uh, we can expect hundreds of demonstrations across the
[00:03:40] country in different locations and that applies to the French capital as well,
[00:03:43] and within the next half hour, maybe an hour we expect this
[00:03:47] crowd to march down the streets
[00:03:49] a and uh march through some significant and
[00:03:52] of notable places and uh either ending up at blaster
[00:03:55] de la nation or
[00:03:56] of some other designated area that is going to be changing as these
[00:04:00] demonstrations progress, it's funny that this is happening right after the elections
[00:04:04] in the United States cuz the message from the people
[00:04:08] of of the United States is, pay attention to us, we're angry at you, Mr. Trump, we're
[00:04:12] of angry at the government in general, and this doesn't end or begin with Mr.
[00:04:16] Trump, this is kind of pattern that started for some time where it seems like the
[00:04:19] people are saying, stop it, stop with
[00:04:22] of Ukraine, stop with Iran, stop with Iraq, stop with all these wars, stop
[00:04:26] sending money everywhere, stop giving things to to to... millionaires
[00:04:30] of and all the others and and start giving us what we need
[00:04:34] of to live decent lives, we want our wages to go up, we want the
[00:04:38] cost of living to go down, that seemed to be the message that's now being heard
[00:04:42] out
[00:04:42] of the United States, how similar is that to what people are asking for
[00:04:46] there? Rick, I feel like that sentiment
[00:04:49] can to be applied to every country on the face
[00:04:52] of the planet, give her take uh, but specifically in the case of Europe
[00:04:56] that does apply, we've seen unrest in France. naturally, we've
[00:05:00] seen it in Germany, in places like Denmark and Italy,
[00:05:04] and the list goes on, and that does come back to the sentiment that
[00:05:08] it seems that governments are so focused on giving money to actors out.
[00:05:12] outside their own nations, outside their people, that the people are
[00:05:16] converging and essentially saying, well, this is a wake-up call, hello,
[00:05:20] uh, what about us, but I'll tell you one thing that the macron government has done, that is
[00:05:23] achieved, uh, and it's not just uniting the people, uniting the people to a
[00:05:27] degree is, I think easier uh, than uniting
[00:05:31] politicians, and on Wednesday, Macron's budget for
[00:05:34] 2027 went to the French national assembly, and outside of two
[00:05:38] abstentions, every single law maker voted against that
[00:05:41] bill. Uh, I don't recall a moment in history in which every single
[00:05:45] law maker any assembly or parliament or congress has
[00:05:49] actually agreed on one single idea, so
[00:05:53] they they rejected his budget, did his budget include, and I'm
[00:05:57] just guessing here, uh, more money for uh,
[00:06:00] the for for Ukraine and for Zelensky's government, for
[00:06:03] example, two degree, yes, but it's not
[00:06:07] just limited to that, so because the policies that the French government
[00:06:11] has been under. taking these past few years, their trade deficit
[00:06:15] continues to grow, the value the euro again to a
[00:06:19] degree is being challenged because the french government needs money, but
[00:06:22] borrowing that money is becoming more expensive, and for 20,
[00:06:26] 2027, for the next year, if I'm not mistaken, the national interest payment for
[00:06:30] it, the interest payment for the national interest is going to be around 90
[00:06:34] billion euros, that's a lot of money that the French are going to
[00:06:38] be paying for practically nothing, when that money could
[00:06:40] be spent on policies that could... alleviate the situation the people here
[00:06:44] behind, you know, uh, we're seeing
[00:06:47] video uh that we have on screen, you don't see it, we see
[00:06:51] it, in fact Jeene uh put that up uh so he
[00:06:55] can help describe to us, we're watching skirmishes
[00:06:59] with what look like police officers, I imagine they're police
[00:07:02] officers, I don't know if they're federal or or
[00:07:05] local, uh, and they're apparently taking on the
[00:07:09] protesters who are - there.
[00:07:12] is the they seem to be holding billy clubs of some of
[00:07:16] some form, can you tell us what is this, where is this and what's going
[00:07:20] on? just very briefly, i'm going to step over to the side so i
[00:07:24] can actually take a look at that footage and tell you whether it's around
[00:07:27] bastil and i'm taking a better look, yeah so those were
[00:07:31] from demonstrations in b, i'm going to step back into frame rake uh so i was there
[00:07:35] when that was happening and like i said these demonstrations are going to be taking
[00:07:39] place across the capital, yes the police and the port
[00:07:42] decided that they could conver converge on the republic square, but the people have
[00:07:46] different idea because there are so many people available to protest up
[00:07:50] until now we've been monitoring unions or student unions and the young people have been
[00:07:54] taken the treats, but on Thursday for today uh
[00:07:58] energy workers have decided to take the take the day off to protest uh
[00:08:01] education workers though there are a lot more people available to be on the streets
[00:08:05] and uh that was that was area close to plus la Bastin which is the basti
[00:08:09] square uh and protesters did converge on that area.
[00:08:12] they erected barricades to prevent the police because
[00:08:16] protesters were being prevented from entering bussing square and we've been
[00:08:20] observing this uh behavior for these past few weeks after October
[00:08:23] 17th when uh when those riots and the looting was observed uh the
[00:08:27] protests that follows were push outside the city center those are where the
[00:08:31] protest mainly took place as we walked those long kilometers being there
[00:08:35] was an issue the metros rep and the government or the uh
[00:08:39] municipality wasn't providing sorry the municipality wasn't providing means to get
[00:08:42] people to those locations, so that's why while the protests were happening
[00:08:46] here, it makes sense that people were trying to get to different areas uh that were that are infidence
[00:08:50] to known uh for gathering and protesting against government the path. we've
[00:08:54] got some new pictures coming in, those are from our friends over at
[00:08:58] Rupley, and they're sending us uh new video. this is
[00:09:01] apparently different location, as you see that guy was hit
[00:09:05] on the head with something, he's bleeding, uh, we see blood coming out of his
[00:09:09] forehead, we don't know how it happened, but again these are brand new. is coming
[00:09:13] into us now uh, final question to you, yessim, and I think this is a really
[00:09:16] important question, uh, it goes to accountability,
[00:09:20] uh, has the government accepted accountability for what
[00:09:24] is happening on the streets and seems to want to continue to
[00:09:28] happen, have they, have they done any kind of culpa, have have they
[00:09:31] told the people where, you know, we understand, we get your message, and
[00:09:35] we're going to deal with it, we're going to try and prove the economy, or are they
[00:09:39] doing what Mr. Macron said in his first? speech,
[00:09:43] oh, these people are all thugs, they're just bad people, and most
[00:09:46] them are Muslims, and that's why we're going to arrest them all or something
[00:09:50] to that effect, hopefully they've changed their tone a little bit,
[00:09:54] no, well, it's kind of part to argue
[00:09:58] that uh, well, macron has been successful in unifying politicians on
[00:10:02] the left and the right and the center, so to suggest that the people have united on the similar
[00:10:06] cause is very difficult to argue against at this point, yeah, but
[00:10:10] there have been French politicians and lawmakers that have been... commenting about making the
[00:10:13] necessary changes as to whether or not the leadership, well understand
[00:10:17] that is matter of concern, but
[00:10:19] what i can say in clarity is the government has acknowledged
[00:10:23] one thing that
[00:10:24] it is. listening, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they are hearing what the
[00:10:28] people have to say, because in the weeks that followed after October 17,
[00:10:32] the protest essentially force the government tan to change the
[00:10:35] French university admission system, the parker
[00:10:39] suit system that the french students have been arguing against,
[00:10:42] so they took that and they vowed to make the necessary changes, but when it comes to the
[00:10:46] cost of living and providing aid to uh foreign entities
[00:10:50] in traine and and lot has been
[00:10:53] gone untouched. and unnoticed, which says
[00:10:56] that they
[00:10:56] are observing what's happening, they are listening, but they choose not to hear what the people
[00:11:00] have to say, yeah, that there's exact, i was just laughing when you were saying
[00:11:04] that, yeah, we hear you, okay, you heard me, but what are
[00:11:08] you going to do about it, well nothing, it's like, then it's not
[00:11:12] enough, and we're going to continue going to the streets,
[00:11:14] and that seems to be the message that's being sent to them right now, this is crazy, as
[00:11:18] as as i as my colleague nikki said a little while ago, it's kind of crazy world
[00:11:22] lately, uh, yaseen, we're so glad that you're there, st safe,
[00:11:25] obviously these things can get a little crazy and a little violent, but I know you're experienced as
[00:11:29] a correspondent to follow these things, if anything uh happens, let us
[00:11:33] know, we could always just hit a button and get you back on the air, or not
[00:11:37] me, but Jean Will, so thanks so much, we appreciate everything you're doing. All
[00:11:40] right, let's talk about the other side the story, now we're
[00:11:44] talking about the the theme of this show today is
[00:11:48] discontent, and if there's a place in the world where there seems
[00:11:51] to be lot of discontent right now, it's in my country, the United'. states, I
[00:11:55] got to tell you, I didn't expect what happened uh, as we were
[00:11:59] bringing you these, the election coverage, uh,
[00:12:03] I didn't think that it would be as bad as it was, I
[00:12:06] expected that the Democrats would win, I think most people did, I expect that
[00:12:10] the democrats would win the house, I wasn't sure whether they would actually win the
[00:12:14] senate, and I thought that if they won the Senate, they would probably win by,
[00:12:18] oh, they'd pick up a couple of more states, but
[00:12:21] definitely not the way that they
[00:12:23] want it, in fact right now, it looks like they have
[00:12:27] 54 seats that they have picked up in the Senate,
[00:12:31] the Republicans only have 44, that's a huge switch, and
[00:12:35] they're not done, because there's more states that are still being counted, so
[00:12:38] let's go to the map so I can break this down for you, buse I think it's important to be
[00:12:42] able to see it so that we can properly illustrate it.
[00:12:46] All right, here we go, this is the brand new
[00:12:49] map the senate in the United States of America, and of course the senate is the
[00:12:53] main house, United States has two parts to its legislature, the
[00:12:57] Congress or the House of Representatives, and then they have the Senate, obviously there's the
[00:13:01] executive branch, and then there's the judicial branch, but this is really what we're
[00:13:04] zeroing in on, because uh, this is the biggest
[00:13:08] sign of repudiation that we've seen in some time in the United
[00:13:12] States, we start with Maine all the way up there, see that ME, that's the
[00:13:15] initials for Maine, a state where Susan Collins was supposed to hold to it,
[00:13:19] most people would think she's been there forever, she was outed, they don't want her there
[00:13:23] anymore, so the democrats are taking over that and as we come down you can
[00:13:27] see Massachusetts, New Jersey uh
[00:13:31] going all the way
[00:13:32] down to Virginia, uh, those are usually democratic states, no
[00:13:35] surprise there, they hung to them, but here's the big surprise, North
[00:13:39] Carolina, North Carolina is a state that's been red, been
[00:13:43] republican, it's switched over to blue, even bigger
[00:13:46] surprise, South Carolina, Darline
[00:13:50] Graham, if you're wondering who the hell is Darline Graham,
[00:13:54] well you're ready for... She's the sister of
[00:13:57] Lindsaygram. Lindsaygram is the biggest warhawk in the history
[00:14:01] the United States. Everybody knew that, most people weren't very
[00:14:04] fond of him, but he was good friends with Mr. Trump, so Mr.
[00:14:08] Trump called his sister and says, "Why don't you become the new
[00:14:11] senator?" She says, "I don't know anything about being the senator." In
[00:14:15] fact, she said during news conference when she was asked by
[00:14:18] reporters, what do you know about Ukraine? What do you know about Iran? She said, "I don't know
[00:14:22] anything about any of those places. I i..." not a
[00:14:25] politician, well they ran her anyway,
[00:14:28] and she got crushed. the reason South
[00:14:32] Carolina's blue is because Darline Graham, who should have won
[00:14:36] race that usually is won by Republicans without having to do any
[00:14:40] work, she got killed in this state. in fact,
[00:14:43] here's Tucker Carlson talking about not just
[00:14:47] Darline, but kind of what it means that
[00:14:51] she lost this race, here he is. you can't
[00:14:55] say that the Republicans had it stolen cuuse they didn't, they
[00:14:59] got exactly what they deserved, and what they deserved was to be
[00:15:02] humiliated because of what they did to the rest of us. they literally
[00:15:06] tried to appoint Lindsay's sister, who maybe
[00:15:10] nice person or who knows, but knows nothing about anything by her own
[00:15:14] admission, tried to give her the senate seat, and not just by
[00:15:18] appointment, but like they stood her for election in South
[00:15:21] Carolina, and she lost. well, there's another state.
[00:15:25] the last time democrat was elected to the senate, probably should have
[00:15:29] check before the show did, it's been a while, you think of that as like
[00:15:32] core republican, mean that's that's the
[00:15:35] base, that would be like bathesda Maryland going for
[00:15:39] Trump, it's just it's not going to happen, oh but it just dead,
[00:15:43] and again it did, because that's insulting. Talk about core
[00:15:47] Republican, Georgia, blue,
[00:15:51] Georgia, that's the south, core Republican
[00:15:54] territory, want to see one even more,
[00:15:58] Texas, Texas is now democratic
[00:16:01] state, the governor is now
[00:16:04] democrat, right, the land commissioner. is now democrat,
[00:16:08] the majority the members the house of representatives are now
[00:16:12] democrats and most importantly the
[00:16:15] senator there, guy named James Talorico that most people would never heard
[00:16:19] of, is now the new senator from the state of Texas, same as New
[00:16:23] Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Kansas has been
[00:16:27] Republican for ever and a day, so was
[00:16:31] Iowa, both them has swit have switched,
[00:16:35] unexpected, unexpected. Here's another one,
[00:16:39] Mississippi, you know why it's gray? It's not confederate gray
[00:16:42] although it could be, we can't make it blue, we can't make it red because it's still
[00:16:46] undecided, and there's a real pos that in of itself is
[00:16:49] newsworthy, but now there's a possibility that Mississippi could eventually
[00:16:53] become blue as well because it looks like the candidate there is about to be declared, we'll be
[00:16:57] checking and if they announce it we'll tell you about it uh during the show,
[00:17:01] continuing uh we talk on Minnesota where I
[00:17:05] went to school, I went to school. the University of Minnesota, proud to be a golden
[00:17:09] gofer, it was expected to go red, it's
[00:17:12] blue, of course Ohi, this is the the
[00:17:15] almost the Mcdadi here, Ohio and
[00:17:18] Michigan, Ohio and Michigan, Ohio goes blue,
[00:17:22] Michigan goes blue, Michigan now has a senator who is a Muslim
[00:17:26] American, you know, and he
[00:17:30] was fought by almost everybody in the Republican
[00:17:33] party who talked more about his
[00:17:37] nationality or his parents nationality and his faith
[00:17:41] then they did his policies, that's when you
[00:17:45] know you're losing. one more, come over here with
[00:17:48] me, Alaska, look at
[00:17:52] that, Alaska has always been a red state, it's
[00:17:56] greay because
[00:17:57] they haven't been able to count the votes yet, it's that close, but it's looking like
[00:18:01] Alaska could be democratic state now as well, so
[00:18:05] this is story of repudiation.
[00:18:07] This is
[00:18:07] the story the people the United States, just like we just showed
[00:18:11] you
[00:18:11] in our report from France, where the people of Europe are
[00:18:15] saying, start paying attention to us, listen to
[00:18:19] us, listen to our needs, listen to what
[00:18:23] we as people need, as opposed to what donors
[00:18:27] and billionaires and other countries and Israel and wars
[00:18:30] and seems like the money is going everywhere but
[00:18:34] to the people, and that is the story.
[00:18:38] this election cycle, these midterms that I think the
[00:18:42] best word to describe them is a
[00:18:44] tsunami.
[00:18:50] All right, I'm going to bring an old friend now, we're going to talk about this, going
[00:18:54] to talk about American politics, buse we're both Americans. George Popanopolis
[00:18:57] is a former foreign policy advisor to
[00:19:01] president Trump, he's now media guy like myself, and he's good to join
[00:19:05] us to talk about this. George, how are you?
[00:19:25] uh uh, you know what? no, i'm going to start with the breaking news. i want to show you these pictures once
[00:19:28] again. for those of you at home who are watching us, we we started the
[00:19:32] newscast today with some these images that are coming in from Paris,
[00:19:36] France.
[00:19:37] 700 thousand people are on the on the streets of Paris, France
[00:19:41] saying their government is not listening to them, similar to what I
[00:19:44] think we can say about the United States, not just under Trump, but in the
[00:19:48] past. What do you make the situation we're seeing not just in France, but by
[00:19:52] the way, in places like Switzerland and Spain and Italy and
[00:19:56] Germany, etc. Well, the will
[00:20:00] the people is paramount globally, and I think that's becoming
[00:20:03] more and more evident as the people become...
[00:20:07] far more educated on various
[00:20:11] policy issues and have access to
[00:20:14] diverse sources of information that a
[00:20:18] generation ago they did not. the advent of
[00:20:22] social media and other channels
[00:20:26] basically has given the people
[00:20:29] a an outreach to real
[00:20:32] facts uh that for years had been suppressed so it's no
[00:20:36] surprise. to see this new enlightened uh
[00:20:40] movements around the world that are revolting
[00:20:44] against um issues and totalitarian
[00:20:47] systems that have suppressed their will. It's funny you call him enlighten,
[00:20:51] but Macron calls them thugs and
[00:20:54] Muslims. It's always
[00:20:58] about othering descents, right? And that's
[00:21:01] something that just doesn't fly anymore, Rick,
[00:21:05] because societies have evolved, societies are getting far
[00:21:08] younger and many these countries, especially in France,
[00:21:12] they're becoming far more multi-thnic, multi-religious and
[00:21:16] the old orthodoxy that has attempted.
[00:21:20] basically quelm uh descents and to other
[00:21:23] them no longer prevails and that's really what you're
[00:21:27] seeing with these manifestations and it's all being
[00:21:30] exacerbated because of failed
[00:21:33] policies that don't address the needs the
[00:21:37] people and that's really why this is going to continue not only in
[00:21:41] Europe but also in parts the United States where so many have
[00:21:45] felt left behind for a long time yeah I was just referring to
[00:21:49] uh the cat
[00:21:49] Obama
[00:21:55] and he sounds real pretty and he talks with very cogeant
[00:21:59] statements, I i don't whether he's going to be a good candidate or
[00:22:02] not, but that's exactly what you just said, the
[00:22:05] republicans, instead of taking them on and going after his policies
[00:22:09] and talking about the effect that his policies might have
[00:22:13] on the people, they called him a muslim, they said
[00:22:16] he his sister once had a boyfriend who was in the muslim brotherhood or something.
[00:22:20] mean it seems to me that it's that that just doesn't work, it's
[00:22:24] ridiculous when you just go after someone's nationality or their faith rather than
[00:22:28] attacking their ideas. you know rick, i've been in
[00:22:32] conservative politics for close to 20 years, i was one of trump's
[00:22:35] original advisor, so i've been on this maga train since day
[00:22:39] one, and key principle the
[00:22:43] America first mog of movement that really galvanized
[00:22:47] millions of voters, independence, youth, and the left was
[00:22:50] because of promises made, promises kept. looking at
[00:22:54] this most recent election, you could see that the
[00:22:57] diametrically opposed vision the
[00:23:00] GOP took over, and that was promises made,
[00:23:04] promises not kept, and it ultimately resulted in these bizarre
[00:23:08] adhominan attacks that did not land on
[00:23:12] people like el saied, and what the democrats did, and i'll land on this because
[00:23:15] it's very important for your viewers to understand, what the democrats did is they actually
[00:23:20] took a playbook, a chapter, i should say out the maga playbook and
[00:23:24] ran an extremely populist campaign that galvanized their
[00:23:27] voters, and the independents, and even some on the right, and the
[00:23:31] youth, and Sayad was one the key candidates who did that a
[00:23:35] brilliant fashion, and that's why after all the odds and over
[00:23:39] 40 millions spent against him, he's going to be the new senator out of
[00:23:42] Michigan. JD Evans just put out
[00:23:46] a tweet that I thought was very effective.
[00:23:50] and correct, in this tweet he describes what he's
[00:23:54] learned from polsters and he basically
[00:23:57] says that the polsters asked the American people,
[00:24:01] what do you want the president the United States and his
[00:24:05] administration to do, and here's what he said, they
[00:24:09] said, end the war, one, focus on the
[00:24:13] cost of living, two, put America first,
[00:24:16] three, change our relationship to Israel,
[00:24:20] four: now isn't it something? because it seems to me that
[00:24:24] those are the four things the administration did not do, and
[00:24:27] they're the four things that have cost them this
[00:24:30] election. that's what happens when people
[00:24:34] have the perception that america first principles
[00:24:38] and policies have been abandoned, and when the will the
[00:24:42] American people and their voices are not being heard,
[00:24:46] and that's what showed up at the box, at the ballot box.
[00:24:50] and the vice president Vance might talk the day after the election, but he's been
[00:24:54] vice president for the past two years, so he should have
[00:24:58] controlled or taken over the reigns if the pulsers
[00:25:02] were discussing this over the past two years. this was a preventable
[00:25:05] situation, moving forward, fortunately the democrats
[00:25:09] do not have as many seats in congress to really
[00:25:13] uh reshape the legislative process, the president still has
[00:25:16] enormous power in the executive office, but it's going to be... a long
[00:25:20] road to 2028 and if things don't recover right,
[00:25:24] i don't see the republicans winning in 2028 and
[00:25:27] potentially
[00:25:28] in the near future, yeah, and by the way, there's
[00:25:30] the democrats and then there's the republicans, and then there's mega, and lot
[00:25:34] of people are saying what this proves is magas dead, you think it
[00:25:38] is? no, i don't think maga is dead at all, actually, i
[00:25:41] think uh, as a polster's explained and and what the democrats did
[00:25:45] by running in populist, economic, in many
[00:25:49] ways nationalistic ways, they were very, they were more America first
[00:25:53] than the GoP was and that's really why they won.
[00:25:57] America first is incredibly powerful
[00:26:01] ideology and policies prescription to
[00:26:04] address many grievances on all sides the American
[00:26:08] spectrum, as long as those policies are properly
[00:26:11] implemented, and you have candidates that could properly and eloquently
[00:26:15] communicate what those policies are and how they benefit the American
[00:26:18] taxpayer and the American standing in the world. we had bad
[00:26:22] candidates,
[00:26:23] we they couldn't communicate the situation, the democrats filled that
[00:26:26] vacuum and many failed promises resulted in the situation
[00:26:30] that we just had yesterday, yeah and "know what you're speaking to cuz it's an American,
[00:26:34] I feel it, I see it, I see it with my kids, I see it with my
[00:26:38] neighbors, you know, the the average cost of a home in America is
[00:26:41] four to $500 thousand dollars, what young couples
[00:26:45] starting their life today can do what you and I did bause we're old
[00:26:49] enough to remember where we can pick up a home for less than
[00:26:52] $100,000, maybe get a flat or an apartment or buy a condo for
[00:26:56] like $75, $50,00, that's impossible
[00:27:00] today, there's no way you can do that." "We also, by the way, don't
[00:27:04] have a good healthcare system until you turn 65, while the
[00:27:08] countries we're giving all our damn money to, like Ukraine
[00:27:11] and Israel, have wonderful, splendid systems of
[00:27:15] healthcare, universal healthcare, free for everybody paid
[00:27:19] for by Americans who themselves, George, don't have it. You
[00:27:23] could say the same thing about maternity leave, you could say the same thing about
[00:27:26] overtime pay and other things that other countries who we give our
[00:27:30] money to have, and I think..." what's happening right now in America
[00:27:34] is the American people are saying the hell with that, we're we're
[00:27:38] tired of seeing our money go overseas to people who are ending up with more than
[00:27:42] we have, well that's why there's going to have to be
[00:27:45] reckoning, there's going to have to be
[00:27:48] redesign a complete
[00:27:51] revamping the GOP, because what
[00:27:55] Trump started with ended up as something completely different,
[00:27:59] Trump started off as a peacemaker, somebody that would not in in foreign
[00:28:03] theaters, we ended up in the Iran war, one the most unpopular wars
[00:28:07] in modern American history, we talked about America first, get
[00:28:11] billions of dollars were being spent overseas once again, we talked about
[00:28:14] taking care the American taxpayer and reindustrializing the
[00:28:18] United States, while tariffs ended up being a very bad policy that
[00:28:22] backfire on inflation, the cost of living, making everything lot more
[00:28:26] expensive that you just explained and that's why it disenfranchised so many
[00:28:30] people and immigration reform. ended up another complete
[00:28:34] disaster while it could have been done a very smart way with
[00:28:38] building the wall and re uh formulating the immigration
[00:28:41] laws and ended up with ice shooting American citizens on the streets and
[00:28:45] arresting uh innocent Mexico that all was leveraged by the
[00:28:49] democrats it was amplified on social media on the mainstream media
[00:28:53] and it really distorted what could have been a positive
[00:28:57] message into an extremely negative and dark message Rick how much
[00:29:01] of this is about Maga, and I'm just going to say
[00:29:04] it, how much of this is about maga turning into
[00:29:08] mega, i g, cuz once again, uh,
[00:29:12] do a favor, uh, Jean, put up that thing from the vice president
[00:29:15] again, put those four points up again, because I, I, I want to make point about
[00:29:19] this, because if you go down every one of those four points, the first one that Americans
[00:29:23] wanted that didn't get was end the war. Well, the war was started, as we all
[00:29:27] know, because Israel wanted the war to start.
[00:29:30] In fact, most Americans blame Netanyahu more. and they blame Mr. Trump for starting this
[00:29:34] war. The next one is focus on the cost of living and inflation. Well, inflation
[00:29:38] and the cost of living has gone up because since the war
[00:29:41] started, the uh trade roots have been shut down
[00:29:45] or blocked both in the straight of Hormus and in the straight of
[00:29:49] Amandab. So that's the reason we're having to pay so much more for all the
[00:29:52] goods that we use in our grocery stores and supermarkets
[00:29:55] etc. Uh, put America first. Well, again, that goes back
[00:29:59] to Americans feel like Israel is being put. before
[00:30:03] America, and then finally number four, change our relationship
[00:30:07] to Israel, well that's all about Israel, so when you really look at all four these
[00:30:10] points, they all really point indirectly to Israel, which
[00:30:14] makes people in the maga movement feel like you sold us
[00:30:18] a, you gave us mi
[00:30:20] g. america first means
[00:30:24] America first, and that doesn't mean cowtowing or putting the
[00:30:28] needs, priorities or interests of any foreign
[00:30:31] government. ahead the United States of America and the
[00:30:35] perception has been for years uh that
[00:30:39] unfortunately uh BB Netanyahu helped
[00:30:42] coerse the United States into a foreign war
[00:30:46] that was not in the US interest did not uh implicate
[00:30:50] U.S. national security interest and now has affected the domestic.
