[00:00:03] of
[00:00:13] I'm going to
[00:00:13] in bring of an old friend now, we're going to talk
[00:00:15] me about this, we going to talk about American politics because we're both Americans. George
[00:00:19] Popanopolis is a former foreign policy
[00:00:23] advisor to uh President Trump, he's now media guy like
[00:00:26] myself, and he's good to join us to talk about this. George, how are you?
[00:00:31] doing great rick, how you doing? thanks for having me. oh my god, it's always so good to see you, my friend,
[00:00:35] hope things are going well in your life. i know you've had some uh tustles
[00:00:39] in the past, unfair uh by the way, but nonetheless i guess
[00:00:42] we all go through this. guess we uh we start
[00:00:46] of with
[00:00:47] of uh uh, you know what, no, i'm going to start with the breaking news, i want to show you these pictures once
[00:00:51] again, for those of you at home who are watching us, we we
[00:00:54] of started the newscast today with some
[00:00:56] of these images that are coming in from Paris, france seven
[00:01:00] people are on the on the streets of Paris, France saying their
[00:01:04] government is not listening to them, similar to what I think we can say
[00:01:08] about the United States, not just under Trump, but in the past, what do you make
[00:01:11] of the situation we're seeing not just in
[00:01:13] of France, but by the way in places like Switzerland and Spain and
[00:01:17] Italy
[00:01:18] of and Germany etc. well, the
[00:01:22] will
[00:01:22] of the people is paramount globally, and I think that's becoming
[00:01:26] more and more evident as the people become...
[00:01:30] far more uh educated on various
[00:01:33] policy issues and have
[00:01:36] of access to diverse sources of information
[00:01:40] that a generation ago they did not. the
[00:01:43] advent of social media uh and other
[00:01:47] channels uh basically has given the
[00:01:51] people a an outreach to real
[00:01:55] facts uh that for years had been suppressed so it's no
[00:01:59] surprise. to see this new enlightened uh
[00:02:03] in movement around the world that are revolting
[00:02:06] against um issues and totalitarian
[00:02:10] systems that have suppressed their will. well
[00:02:12] of it's funny you call them enlighten, but macron calls them thugs
[00:02:15] and
[00:02:17] of muslims. it's always about
[00:02:20] othering descents right, and that's something that
[00:02:24] just doesn't fly anymore, rick, because societies have
[00:02:28] evolved, are getting far younger in
[00:02:32] many
[00:02:32] of these countries, especially in France, they're becoming far more
[00:02:36] multi-thnic, multi-religious, and the old
[00:02:40] a orthodoxy that has attempted to basically quelm
[00:02:44] descents and to other them no longer prevails, and
[00:02:48] that's really what you're seeing with these manifestations, and
[00:02:52] it's all being exacerbated because of
[00:02:55] failed policies that don't address the
[00:02:58] needs
[00:02:59] of the... and that's really why this is going to continue not
[00:03:03] only in Europe, but also in parts
[00:03:05] of the United States where so many have felt left behind for a
[00:03:09] long time. yeah, I was just referring to uh the candidate in
[00:03:13] Michigan, I don't know, for all I know the guy's just
[00:03:17] another Obama, and
[00:03:18] of he sounds real pretty, and he talks with very cogeant
[00:03:21] statements, I i don't know whether he's going to be a good candidate or
[00:03:24] not, but that's exactly what you just said, the Republicans
[00:03:28] instead of taking the... and going after his policies and
[00:03:32] talking about uh the effect that his policies might have on the people,
[00:03:36] they called him a muslim, they said
[00:03:38] he his sister once had a boyfriend who was in the muslim brotherhood or
[00:03:42] something, mean it seems to me that it's that that just doesn't
[00:03:46] work, it's ridiculous when you just go after someone's nationality or their
[00:03:49] faith rather than attacking their ideas.
[00:03:53] you know rick, i've been in conservative politics for
[00:03:55] a close to 20 years,
[00:03:56] i was one of trump's
[00:03:58] a original advisors, so i've been on this... train since day
[00:04:02] in one
[00:04:02] of and key principle
[00:04:08] a of the America first mog of movement that really
[00:04:09] in galvanized millions of voters, independents, youth and the left was
[00:04:13] because of promises made, promises
[00:04:15] of kept. looking at this most recent election, you could see that the
[00:04:20] in diametrically opposed vision
[00:04:22] of the GoP took over, and that
[00:04:25] of was promises made, promises not kept, and it ultimately
[00:04:29] resulted in these bizarre ad hamman and attacks that did
[00:04:32] not land on people like el saied, and what the
[00:04:36] democrats did, and I'll land on this because it's very important for your viewers to
[00:04:39] understand, what the democrats did is they actually took a
[00:04:42] playbook, a chapter, I should say out
[00:04:45] of the maga playbook and
[00:04:46] in ran an extremely populist campaign
[00:04:49] of that galvanized their voters
[00:04:53] of of and the independence and even some on the right and the youth, and Sayad was one
[00:04:55] of the key candidates who did that
[00:04:57] in a brilliant fashion, and that's why
[00:04:59] of after... for all the odds and over 40 millions spent against him, he's going
[00:05:03] to
[00:05:03] be the new senator out of Michigan. JD Vance just
[00:05:07] put out a tweet that I thought was
[00:05:10] very effective.
[00:06:06] being heard, and
[00:06:09] are not that's what showed up at the box, at
[00:06:11] the ballot box. and
[00:06:12] the vice president might talk the day after the election, but he's been
[00:06:16] vice president for the past two years, so he should have
[00:06:20] controlled or taken over the reigns if the pulsers
[00:06:24] were discussing this over the past two years. this was a preventable
[00:06:28] situation, moving forward, fortunately the democrats
[00:06:32] do not have as many seats in congress to really
[00:06:36] uh reshape the legislative process, the president still has
[00:06:39] enormous power in the executive office, but it's going to be a... long
[00:06:43] road to 2028 and if things don't recover, i
[00:06:46] don't see the republicans winning in 2028 and potentially in the
[00:06:50] near future, yeah, and by the way, there's the democrats and then there's the
[00:06:54] republicans, and then there's mega, and lot of people are saying what
[00:06:57] this proves is maga's debt, you think it is?
[00:07:01] no, i don't think maga is debt at all, actually i think uh, as a polsers
[00:07:05] explained and and what the democrats did by running in
[00:07:09] populist, economic, in many ways, holistic
[00:07:13] ways, they were very, they were more America first than the GOP
[00:07:17] was and that's really why they won. America first is
[00:07:21] incredibly powerful ideology and
[00:07:24] policy prescription to address many grievances
[00:07:28] on all sides the American spectrum, as long as those
[00:07:32] policies are properly implemented and you have candidates that could
[00:07:35] properly and eloquently communicate what those policies are
[00:07:39] and how they benefit the American taxpayer and the... american standing in the
[00:07:43] world, we had bad candidates, we they couldn't communicate the
[00:07:47] situation, the democrats filled that vacuum and many failed
[00:07:50] promises resulted in the situation that we just had yesterday, yeah, and I
[00:07:54] know what you're speaking to, buse it's an American, I feel it, I see it, I see it
[00:07:58] with my kids, I see it with my neighbors,
[00:08:01] you know, the the average cost of a home in America is four to
[00:08:04] $500, what young couples starting
[00:08:08] their life today can do what you and I did bause we're old enough to...
[00:08:12] remember where we can pick up a home for less than $10000, maybe get a
[00:08:16] flat or an apartment or buy a condo for like 75,
[00:08:20] 50,00, that's impossible today, there's no way you
[00:08:24] can do that. we also, by the way, don't have a good healthcare system
[00:08:28] until you turn 65, while the countries we're giving all our damn
[00:08:31] money to, like Ukraine and Israel, have
[00:08:35] wonderful splended systems of healthcare,
[00:08:39] universal healthcare, free for everybody, paid for by a...
[00:08:42] americans who themselves George, don't have it,
[00:08:45] you could
[00:08:45] say the same thing about maternity leave, you could say the same thing about overtime
[00:08:49] pay, and other things that other countries who we give our money to
[00:08:53] have, and I think what's happening right now in America is the
[00:08:57] American people are saying, the hell with that, we're we're tired
[00:09:01] of seeing our money go overseas to people who are ending up with more than we
[00:09:04] have, well that's why there's going to have to be
[00:09:08] reckoning, there's going to have to be
[00:09:10] redesign. a complete
[00:09:14] revamping the GOP, because what
[00:09:17] Trump started with ended up as something completely different.
[00:09:21] Trump started off as a peacemaker, somebody that would not intervene in foreign
[00:09:25] theaters, we ended up in the Iran war, one the most unpopular wars
[00:09:29] in modern American history. We talked about America first, get
[00:09:33] billions of dollars were being spent overseas once again, we talked about
[00:09:37] taking care the American taxpayer and reindustrializing the
[00:09:41] United States while... ended up being a very bad policy that
[00:09:45] backfire on inflation, the cost of living, making everything lot more
[00:09:48] expensive that you just explained, and that's why it disenfranchised so many
[00:09:52] people and immigration reform ended up another complete
[00:09:56] disaster, while it could have been done a very smart way with
[00:10:00] building the wall and reformulating the immigration
[00:10:04] laws, it ended up with ice shooting American citizens on the streets and
[00:10:07] arresting uh innocent Mexican Americ Mexicans or other
[00:10:11] people. or just here in the United States to do a job without harming
[00:10:15] anybody, that all was leveraged by the democrats, it was amplified on
[00:10:19] social media, on the mainstream media, and it really
[00:10:23] distorted what could have been a... positive message into an
[00:10:26] extremely negative and dark message, rick. how much of this is
[00:10:30] about maga? and i'm just going to say it, how much of
[00:10:34] this is about mega turning into mega,
[00:10:37] i g, cuz once again uh, do a favor,
[00:10:41] jean, put up that thing from the vice president again, put those four
[00:10:45] points up again, because i i want to make point about this, because if you go down every one
[00:10:49] of those four points, the first one that americans wanted that didn't get was
[00:10:53] end the war, well the war was star. as we all know, because
[00:10:56] Israel wanted the war to start. In fact, most Americans blame Netanyahu more
[00:11:00] than they blame Mr. Trump for starting this war. The next one is focus on the cost of
[00:11:04] living and inflation. Well, inflation and the cost of living has gone up
[00:11:08] because since the war started, the uh trade roots
[00:11:12] have been shut down or blocked both in the straight of
[00:11:16] Hormus and the straight of Amandab. So that's the reason we're having to pay
[00:11:20] so much more for all the goods that we use in our grocery stores and
[00:11:23] supermarkets etc. uh put America first, well
[00:11:26] again that goes back to Americans feel like Israel is
[00:11:30] being put before America, and then finally number
[00:11:34] four, change our relationship to Israel, well that's all about Israel, so when you really
[00:11:38] look at all four these points, they all really point indirectly to
[00:11:42] Israel, which makes people in the maga movement feel like you sold
[00:11:46] us mg, you gave us mi
[00:11:49] g, america first means
[00:11:52] America first, and that doesn't mean towing or putting the
[00:11:56] needs, priorities or interests of any foreign
[00:12:00] government ahead the United States of America, and the
[00:12:03] perception has been for years
[00:12:07] that unfortunately BB Netanyahu helped
[00:12:11] coers the United States into a foreign war
[00:12:15] that was not in the US interest, did not implicate US
[00:12:19] national security interest and now has affected the domestic economy and
[00:12:23] our standing in the world, and this done by recent polling shows
[00:12:26] that it's really affected a negative fashion the
[00:12:30] US-Israel relationship, how American's view Israel, how they
[00:12:34] view BB Netanyahu, and I would argue it affected the recent
[00:12:37] election in Israel where looks like Netanyahu is on the
[00:12:41] way out, so this is something that we just have to look
[00:12:45] at, the the the democrats ran on what should have
[00:12:49] been the GOP's America first agenda, they
[00:12:52] simply used that play. to their own uh
[00:12:56] good and that's why they won, they weren't running anything
[00:13:00] extremist like transgenderism or some of this cultural
[00:13:04] marxist nonsense and mokism that they did the first time around, they were
[00:13:07] talking about cost of living, data centers, the the rise
[00:13:11] of AI and the dangers of AI, stopping foreign
[00:13:15] financing of wars, giving money abroad, what does that sound like, rick, that
[00:13:19] sounds like the president ice supported in 2016 and that millions of
[00:13:22] americans it in 2024, it does sound like some sort of marxist
[00:13:26] revolution, yeah, it really is about promises made,
[00:13:30] promises kept, in this case it's promises made,
[00:13:33] promises, not kept, and
[00:13:35] you know, one of those places, we we talked a little bit about Iran, and Iran has just been
[00:13:39] a disaster, there's no question, but the other
[00:13:43] disaster in many ways, and this is not so much Mr. Trump's fault, I
[00:13:47] think Mr. Trump has had the right idea here, but again, it's not about the
[00:13:51] idea, man, it's about execution. I i played football,
[00:13:55] whole life, i played high school and college football, we used to have great
[00:13:58] practices all week long, and then we'd go out on the field and get our asses
[00:14:02] kicked, well then it's a great thing to practice, it's a great thing
[00:14:06] to draw your xes and o's and we've got a great plan. who
[00:14:09] was it, george Foreman who said, everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the
[00:14:13] mouth, well in Iran has punched us in the mouth,
[00:14:17] and I hate to say it, so has the Russian military, we have
[00:14:21] spent 4 or 500 billion dollars of your tax money and... tax
[00:14:25] money, America's tax money a place called Ukraine that most Americans couldn't
[00:14:29] even find a map, and for what?
[00:14:33] And why a country that doesn't even elect its own
[00:14:37] president because he cancelled the elections, something we would never
[00:14:40] do, and again, George, you know this, because you've
[00:14:44] kind of suffered the slings and arrows of this thing, in
[00:14:48] many ways, this thing is not a problem that
[00:14:51] began in 2022 when this...
[00:14:55] war started, this is a problem that began a long time ago,
[00:14:59] and the mistake was the Washington's and
[00:15:03] Europe's for not recognizing that they should leave Ukraine
[00:15:06] alone and stop trying to force Ukraine into
[00:15:10] NATO. Here's a really smart guy, I think you think he's a smart
[00:15:14] guy, John Mierscheimer, I think he's one the smartest guys when it comes to this particular
[00:15:17] topic, talking about just that, that buffer zone that used
[00:15:21] to separate Europe and Russia. which
[00:15:25] was violated by Washington and the
[00:15:29] Europeans. Take a listen. The Russians wanted
[00:15:33] bufferzone. They wanted Ukraine as
[00:15:37] bufferzo. and that's what they care about regarding
[00:15:39] belorussia as well,
[00:15:43] it's actually NATO that didn't want to buffer zone.
[00:15:47] I went to Poland about three or four different times
[00:15:50] and I told the poles that the last thing you
[00:15:54] want to do is expand NATO into
[00:15:57] Ukraine, buse it's going to be like poking a hornet's
[00:16:01] dest and it's going to cause unending trouble for Poland. I
[00:16:05] said, you have the ideal situation. now and that you
[00:16:09] have buffer zone, ukraine between Poland and
[00:16:13] Russia, and what you should do is everything you
[00:16:16] possibly can to maintain that buffer zone, and
[00:16:19] if you poke the bear, and the bear takes
[00:16:22] Ukraine, the bear is going to be right next door to you, and
[00:16:26] that is not going to be good, but we were not
[00:16:30] interested, the poles were not interested, the Baltic
[00:16:34] states were not interested, and the Americans are certainly not. interested, we
[00:16:38] wanted to march NATO right up to their doorstep, so my argument would be
[00:16:41] they should have been interested in the buffer zone, sort of getting in
[00:16:45] line with your points, but we weren't. as matter of fact,
[00:16:49] biden went just the opposite, and so did NATO,
[00:16:53] essentially, can we put up map of this? i want our people at home
[00:16:57] to see this, i think this is important, right? i want what he's talking about is buffer
[00:17:01] zone, right? here, here's Ukraine a map,
[00:17:04] and i'm going to show you, george,
[00:17:06] i don't know if you can see this, but basically just something you know
[00:17:08] obviously uh there's Ukraine, there's the European
[00:17:12] Union, there's Russia, perfect buffer zone,
[00:17:15] and uh, the Mr. Putin at the
[00:17:18] time said, we're fine with Ukraine being a sovereign, neutral
[00:17:22] country, NATO said to Ukraine, no, you have
[00:17:26] to choose us or them, you have to choose us or
[00:17:30] them, and that's where it all started, that's what John
[00:17:33] Mimer is saying, George, to you, well,
[00:17:37] Ukraine has become a massive liability to US
[00:17:41] foreign policy interests and national security interests,
[00:17:45] including on the European continent, where I currently am in
[00:17:49] Rome, has felt the full brunt of what failed
[00:17:53] policies towards the Ukraine Russia conflict look like in real
[00:17:56] life, inflation is absolutely out of this
[00:18:00] world here in Europe, gas prices are higher than ever, food costs are
[00:18:04] high, people can barely afford rent electricity.
[00:18:08] up because they decided to cut off Russian energy to its
[00:18:11] largest market, which was a European Union, and the
[00:18:15] European citizens are facing the full brunt of those failed
[00:18:19] policies, and regarding the situation in terms of buffer
[00:18:22] zone, the United States would never allow either Russia,
[00:18:26] China or any other foreign country from permitting
[00:18:29] these ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons
[00:18:33] or emboldening rogue groups with iridentus claims.
[00:18:37] on Texas, New Mexico, California, that's what the Trump
[00:18:41] doctrine has been all about, it's actually about removing potential threats
[00:18:45] from the western hemisphere, and keeping the United States isolated from
[00:18:49] any potential foreign threats. The Russian president, the Russian
[00:18:53] state viewed the situation in Ukraine very similarly the way that
[00:18:57] Taiwan and China view that relationship, the
[00:19:01] Europeans failed, Biden failed, and the Trump administration is
[00:19:05] attempting to resolve this very... system difficult
[00:19:12] it's going to be resolved on the ground, because I got to tell you, the reports that I'm getting is, there's not
[00:19:16] much left of Ukraine pretty soon, I think the Russians finally decided, you know, we've
[00:19:20] been trying to fight the war on the front, not asymmetrically, but they started
[00:19:23] hitting our civilian and uh infrastructure as well as
[00:19:27] our energy infrastructure, they started hitting apartments with drones
[00:19:31] and the Russians have said, okay, two can play at that game, and I
[00:19:35] think uh, I think the Ukrainians have over. reached in this situation, and I
[00:19:38] think their own people are feeling it.
[00:19:41] As matter of fact, I that reminds me, George, I just
[00:19:44] filed uh, report yesterday, I was a golf course
[00:19:48] playing golf, and suddenly I saw one of my colleagues sent me
[00:19:52] this report about this situation with this
[00:19:55] 14-year-old boy who was found a detention center that
[00:19:59] nobody even knew about, it's like the secret place where they keep soldiers
[00:20:03] or people who don't want to go to the front line, I did this report, it's already got.
[00:20:07] 3 400,00 people who've been watching it and commenting on it. I want to
[00:20:11] play this for you because I think it speaks to the problems in Ukraine
[00:20:15] right now. Take a listen. You see that right there? You see
[00:20:19] that? That's a 14-year-old boy. What the hell
[00:20:23] is a 14-year-old boy doing locked inside
[00:20:27] of basement? People are describing it as a
[00:20:31] torture chamber. The uh Ukrainians are saying
[00:20:35] that he was part of a group of... some 40
[00:20:38] individuals, all men who were being
[00:20:42] detained, apparently as they, but look at
[00:20:46] this kid, mean he's 14 years old.
[00:20:51] how what what possible explanation could
[00:20:54] there be for detaining housing
[00:20:58] of a 14-year-old boy for a
[00:21:01] month in a
[00:21:04] basement? look at his eyes, mean he's
[00:21:08] been held captive, he's a
[00:21:10] child, he's a kid,
[00:21:14] yeah, the reaction of this has been crazy on the internet, that that thing
[00:21:18] went viral, but the... question is, who am I? I'm Rick
[00:21:22] Sanchez, some guy with a TV show a correspondent. Why do
[00:21:25] I have to say this? Where's NATO? Where's the EU? Where are people in
[00:21:29] the west saying, we're not gonna, we're not going to continue to send money to these people if they're doing
[00:21:33] stuff like this. Rick, if you are an
[00:21:37] individual or a country that believes in religious freedom, the
[00:21:41] democratic process and the good the
[00:21:45] Ukrainian people, you should absolutely stop supporting the
[00:21:48] Zelensky regime. because what Zelinsky's regime is doing
[00:21:52] here is they are evicerating the democratic
[00:21:56] process in Ukraine when which they've suspended
[00:21:59] elections, the United States held elections during the civil war,
[00:22:03] there's no excuse for Zelinsky not to hold elections
[00:22:07] against the will the people, which has been a key theme of our entire
[00:22:11] conversation, shutting down churches, I'm an orthodox Christian, that's
[00:22:15] a personal insult to myself and millions of other orthodox
[00:22:19] Christians, around the world who believe that their own religion is
[00:22:23] being attacked in Ukraine, that's something that you that Zelinski is
[00:22:26] doing, and also the people like this 14-year-old boy
[00:22:30] and countless others, which are being forced into
[00:22:33] conscription, lost, killed in the battlefield
[00:22:37] in a war that they do not want to partake in for
[00:22:40] what,
[00:22:41] to expand NATO, something that is not going to happen to enrich
[00:22:45] Zelinsky's cronies, to enrich Zelinski himself,
[00:22:49] that's something... that the world, i believe has
[00:22:52] finally come to understand, the Trump administration has certainly
[00:22:56] understood it, and why I believe that this conflict
[00:23:00] will only end when Zelinski is out the picture, and
[00:23:03] hopefully it's sooner rather than later. yeah, and and I think you used
[00:23:07] a keyword there, George, when you said undemocratic, I i think that's
[00:23:11] important, by the way, most countries in the world, you can make an argument in one way or
[00:23:15] another on democratic, everybody says they are, and in many ways
[00:23:18] they aren't, but when you could point do very specific things like this
[00:23:21] incident and the fact that there were, i think something like
[00:23:25] 200 people who were led to this detention
[00:23:29] center for lack of different description of it, i have no idea what this
[00:23:32] is, and and i've i've been asking this question, and nobody's giving me answers
[00:23:36] yet, what was this, why was it hidden, why was it
[00:23:39] secret location, who are the people who are being detained there, what did
[00:23:43] they do, have they had, have they gone before a
[00:23:47] judge, mean we
[00:23:49] we we don't get a
[00:23:50] any answers and that's not, that's not democr, that's far from
[00:23:53] democracy. in fact, I've just learned that
[00:23:57] 170 people who were apparently there protesting for
[00:24:01] this boy's release, have had their homes rated, according
[00:24:05] to western reports by the way, and most them are now
[00:24:09] going to be facing sentences, potential sentences of up
[00:24:13] eight years in prison, there's the scene there,
[00:24:17] the the woman, I think her name is I write her name, I got... her name on my notes
[00:24:21] here, the woman who led people here and discovered this place is
[00:24:25] a name, woman named valentina molodaya, there she
[00:24:28] is, she's now been
[00:24:31] apprehended and she's in jail, i think we have
[00:24:35] that, she's facing eight years in prison for what
[00:24:39] freeing a boy, there she is, this is her in court
[00:24:42] today behind that
[00:24:45] uh that that glass or whatever where she apparently
[00:24:49] is going to be sent to potentially eight years in prison, what the hell,
[00:24:52] George, again I ask, how can how can we allow something like this to
[00:24:56] happen? I i guess a
[00:25:00] pro EU, pro Nato, pro
[00:25:04] Biden Democrat party and
[00:25:08] pro and post Ukraine coup,
[00:25:11] Ukraine doesn't really look that rosey for the Ukrainian
[00:25:15] people, and I think the Ukrainian people were
[00:25:19] sold. a lie to basically uh
[00:25:23] support these various agendas that led them to
[00:25:27] this disastrous situation and Ukraine
[00:25:31] is farther than ever from any semblance of
[00:25:34] democracy, any semblance of stability, any
[00:25:38] semblance of being part the so-called west, and it's
[00:25:41] all really because the democrats and uh,
[00:25:45] I believe individuals within Ukraine that never had the interest
[00:25:49] the...
[00:25:49] Ukrainian nation, the Ukrainian people, and
[00:25:53] really that's why this woman and this 14-year-old and countless
[00:25:57] others are suffering because they
[00:26:00] decided that they would put their... hired lot in with these
[00:26:04] groups that never had the interest the Ukrainian people in mind, and
[00:26:08] that's really why now it's up to the Ukrainian people to say, enough
[00:26:12] is enough, support the end the war with Russia, get
[00:26:16] rid of Zelinski and take power back into their own hands
[00:26:19] and stopping used by these, these western interests
[00:26:23] to destroy their own country. I just had some conversations recently with some
[00:26:27] Ukrainian officials and I get a sense that that's what they want,
[00:26:30] unfortunately they they fear the... repercussions of saying
[00:26:34] that uh too loudly, let's let you and finish with
[00:26:37] this, uh, what's going to happen to our country? I mean, I'm
[00:26:41] a proud American and I want America to be based on common sense, and
[00:26:45] most of all, I want America, I want my country to care about the needs the
[00:26:49] people the United States, not the not the needs of guy named Zelensky
[00:26:53] somewhere, not the needs of guy named Netanyahu somewhere, not the needs
[00:26:57] of Egypt, not the needs of what whatever the hell is going on out
[00:27:00] there, but to to to... make sure that people can take care of
[00:27:04] housing and healthcare and all the things that are so necessary. you
[00:27:07] mentioned that the democrats seemed to be on that uh narrative,
[00:27:11] they've uh shared that narrative well, but I don't trust the democrats nor
[00:27:15] do I trust the Republicans anymore either,
[00:27:18] so what is it? how do we make this happen? is it
[00:27:22] the Tucker philosophy, the Massy philosophy, the
[00:27:26] Margery Taylor Greens may? you know the Jenk Hugers, I
[00:27:30] don't, a combination of Democrats and to come forward
[00:27:34] and save this country from this mess? what do you
[00:27:37] think? we need to reignite the fervor of
[00:27:41] 2016 once again, and the only way that
[00:27:45] we're going to reignite that fervor is by
[00:27:48] having candidates run for office where they're not to
[00:27:52] serve the will and the interests of foreign countries,
[00:27:56] lobby groups or billion or the billionaire class, but
[00:28:00] once again to secure the interests. the left behind, the
[00:28:04] working class, the youth and all people in the United States
[00:28:07] who have been left behind by crushing inflation, high cost
[00:28:11] of living and earmarking billions of dollars of foreign countries into
[00:28:15] foreign interventions, as long as we have candidate or
[00:28:19] candidates that has spouse those virtues and could
[00:28:23] communicate to the American public without emotions of how
[00:28:27] they will improve their lives, I think we could turn around the
[00:28:30] GOP, but this el..." defeat just
[00:28:33] yesterday I think is a true reckoning and if we're smart we'll use
[00:28:37] it to become stronger, better and bigger than ever
[00:28:41] before.
[00:29:08] If you think about Russia, what does your mind
[00:29:11] picture?
[00:29:19] What landscapes open up before your
[00:29:21] eyes?
[00:29:27] What wonders can you
[00:29:28] imagine?
[00:29:38] Peter Scott starts the
[00:29:39] journey.
[00:29:44] Are you ready to come
[00:29:46] along?
[00:30:17] Here we go, with the 6 pm on the east coast USA, right at the start of prime time, I'm
[00:30:21] Bim Swan, here are the stories we're following for you right now,
[00:30:25] 2026 was not simply a blue wave, it
[00:30:29] was a blue tsunami, tonight, the fallout from this week's midter.
[00:30:32] Elections is spreading, and
[00:30:34] now everyone appears to be asking themselves, who's going to take the
[00:30:37] blame? We have chosen
[00:30:39] humanity over war. Plus how
[00:30:43] humanitarian ceasefire broker by melania Trump brought Russian and Ukrainian
[00:30:47] officials to the white house today, and now we're hearing we may be
[00:30:51] closer than ever ending this war. And
[00:30:55] finally, we dive into an historic shift that we saw take place in this week's elections and
[00:30:59] it's raising question.
