Sanchez Effect is a journalistic rebellion. RT’s flagship program is led by Rick Sanchez, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning newsman who’s made a career out of defying the status quo.. “When only one side of a story is permitted, that’s when I push harder. If Moscow is deemed off-limits, it’s precisely where I want to be. Because more often than not, truth resides in the places we’re told not to look.”

00:00:03of
00:00:13I'm going to
00:00:13in bring of an old friend now, we're going to talk
00:00:15me about this, we going to talk about American politics because we're both Americans. George
00:00:19Popanopolis is a former foreign policy
00:00:23advisor to uh President Trump, he's now media guy like
00:00:26myself, and he's good to join us to talk about this. George, how are you?
00:00:31doing great rick, how you doing? thanks for having me. oh my god, it's always so good to see you, my friend,
00:00:35hope things are going well in your life. i know you've had some uh tustles
00:00:39in the past, unfair uh by the way, but nonetheless i guess
00:00:42we all go through this. guess we uh we start
00:00:46of with
00:00:47of uh uh, you know what, no, i'm going to start with the breaking news, i want to show you these pictures once
00:00:51again, for those of you at home who are watching us, we we
00:00:54of started the newscast today with some
00:00:56of these images that are coming in from Paris, france seven
00:01:00people are on the on the streets of Paris, France saying their
00:01:04government is not listening to them, similar to what I think we can say
00:01:08about the United States, not just under Trump, but in the past, what do you make
00:01:11of the situation we're seeing not just in
00:01:13of France, but by the way in places like Switzerland and Spain and
00:01:17Italy
00:01:18of and Germany etc. well, the
00:01:22will
00:01:22of the people is paramount globally, and I think that's becoming
00:01:26more and more evident as the people become...
00:01:30far more uh educated on various
00:01:33policy issues and have
00:01:36of access to diverse sources of information
00:01:40that a generation ago they did not. the
00:01:43advent of social media uh and other
00:01:47channels uh basically has given the
00:01:51people a an outreach to real
00:01:55facts uh that for years had been suppressed so it's no
00:01:59surprise. to see this new enlightened uh
00:02:03in movement around the world that are revolting
00:02:06against um issues and totalitarian
00:02:10systems that have suppressed their will. well
00:02:12of it's funny you call them enlighten, but macron calls them thugs
00:02:15and
00:02:17of muslims. it's always about
00:02:20othering descents right, and that's something that
00:02:24just doesn't fly anymore, rick, because societies have
00:02:28evolved, are getting far younger in
00:02:32many
00:02:32of these countries, especially in France, they're becoming far more
00:02:36multi-thnic, multi-religious, and the old
00:02:40a orthodoxy that has attempted to basically quelm
00:02:44descents and to other them no longer prevails, and
00:02:48that's really what you're seeing with these manifestations, and
00:02:52it's all being exacerbated because of
00:02:55failed policies that don't address the
00:02:58needs
00:02:59of the... and that's really why this is going to continue not
00:03:03only in Europe, but also in parts
00:03:05of the United States where so many have felt left behind for a
00:03:09long time. yeah, I was just referring to uh the candidate in
00:03:13Michigan, I don't know, for all I know the guy's just
00:03:17another Obama, and
00:03:18of he sounds real pretty, and he talks with very cogeant
00:03:21statements, I i don't know whether he's going to be a good candidate or
00:03:24not, but that's exactly what you just said, the Republicans
00:03:28instead of taking the... and going after his policies and
00:03:32talking about uh the effect that his policies might have on the people,
00:03:36they called him a muslim, they said
00:03:38he his sister once had a boyfriend who was in the muslim brotherhood or
00:03:42something, mean it seems to me that it's that that just doesn't
00:03:46work, it's ridiculous when you just go after someone's nationality or their
00:03:49faith rather than attacking their ideas.
00:03:53you know rick, i've been in conservative politics for
00:03:55a close to 20 years,
00:03:56i was one of trump's
00:03:58a original advisors, so i've been on this... train since day
00:04:02in one
00:04:02of and key principle
00:04:08a of the America first mog of movement that really
00:04:09in galvanized millions of voters, independents, youth and the left was
00:04:13because of promises made, promises
00:04:15of kept. looking at this most recent election, you could see that the
00:04:20in diametrically opposed vision
00:04:22of the GoP took over, and that
00:04:25of was promises made, promises not kept, and it ultimately
00:04:29resulted in these bizarre ad hamman and attacks that did
00:04:32not land on people like el saied, and what the
00:04:36democrats did, and I'll land on this because it's very important for your viewers to
00:04:39understand, what the democrats did is they actually took a
00:04:42playbook, a chapter, I should say out
00:04:45of the maga playbook and
00:04:46in ran an extremely populist campaign
00:04:49of that galvanized their voters
00:04:53of of and the independence and even some on the right and the youth, and Sayad was one
00:04:55of the key candidates who did that
00:04:57in a brilliant fashion, and that's why
00:04:59of after... for all the odds and over 40 millions spent against him, he's going
00:05:03to
00:05:03be the new senator out of Michigan. JD Vance just
00:05:07put out a tweet that I thought was
00:05:10very effective.
00:06:06being heard, and
00:06:09are not that's what showed up at the box, at
00:06:11the ballot box. and
00:06:12the vice president might talk the day after the election, but he's been
00:06:16vice president for the past two years, so he should have
00:06:20controlled or taken over the reigns if the pulsers
00:06:24were discussing this over the past two years. this was a preventable
00:06:28situation, moving forward, fortunately the democrats
00:06:32do not have as many seats in congress to really
00:06:36uh reshape the legislative process, the president still has
00:06:39enormous power in the executive office, but it's going to be a... long
00:06:43road to 2028 and if things don't recover, i
00:06:46don't see the republicans winning in 2028 and potentially in the
00:06:50near future, yeah, and by the way, there's the democrats and then there's the
00:06:54republicans, and then there's mega, and lot of people are saying what
00:06:57this proves is maga's debt, you think it is?
00:07:01no, i don't think maga is debt at all, actually i think uh, as a polsers
00:07:05explained and and what the democrats did by running in
00:07:09populist, economic, in many ways, holistic
00:07:13ways, they were very, they were more America first than the GOP
00:07:17was and that's really why they won. America first is
00:07:21incredibly powerful ideology and
00:07:24policy prescription to address many grievances
00:07:28on all sides the American spectrum, as long as those
00:07:32policies are properly implemented and you have candidates that could
00:07:35properly and eloquently communicate what those policies are
00:07:39and how they benefit the American taxpayer and the... american standing in the
00:07:43world, we had bad candidates, we they couldn't communicate the
00:07:47situation, the democrats filled that vacuum and many failed
00:07:50promises resulted in the situation that we just had yesterday, yeah, and I
00:07:54know what you're speaking to, buse it's an American, I feel it, I see it, I see it
00:07:58with my kids, I see it with my neighbors,
00:08:01you know, the the average cost of a home in America is four to
00:08:04$500, what young couples starting
00:08:08their life today can do what you and I did bause we're old enough to...
00:08:12remember where we can pick up a home for less than $10000, maybe get a
00:08:16flat or an apartment or buy a condo for like 75,
00:08:2050,00, that's impossible today, there's no way you
00:08:24can do that. we also, by the way, don't have a good healthcare system
00:08:28until you turn 65, while the countries we're giving all our damn
00:08:31money to, like Ukraine and Israel, have
00:08:35wonderful splended systems of healthcare,
00:08:39universal healthcare, free for everybody, paid for by a...
00:08:42americans who themselves George, don't have it,
00:08:45you could
00:08:45say the same thing about maternity leave, you could say the same thing about overtime
00:08:49pay, and other things that other countries who we give our money to
00:08:53have, and I think what's happening right now in America is the
00:08:57American people are saying, the hell with that, we're we're tired
00:09:01of seeing our money go overseas to people who are ending up with more than we
00:09:04have, well that's why there's going to have to be
00:09:08reckoning, there's going to have to be
00:09:10redesign. a complete
00:09:14revamping the GOP, because what
00:09:17Trump started with ended up as something completely different.
00:09:21Trump started off as a peacemaker, somebody that would not intervene in foreign
00:09:25theaters, we ended up in the Iran war, one the most unpopular wars
00:09:29in modern American history. We talked about America first, get
00:09:33billions of dollars were being spent overseas once again, we talked about
00:09:37taking care the American taxpayer and reindustrializing the
00:09:41United States while... ended up being a very bad policy that
00:09:45backfire on inflation, the cost of living, making everything lot more
00:09:48expensive that you just explained, and that's why it disenfranchised so many
00:09:52people and immigration reform ended up another complete
00:09:56disaster, while it could have been done a very smart way with
00:10:00building the wall and reformulating the immigration
00:10:04laws, it ended up with ice shooting American citizens on the streets and
00:10:07arresting uh innocent Mexican Americ Mexicans or other
00:10:11people. or just here in the United States to do a job without harming
00:10:15anybody, that all was leveraged by the democrats, it was amplified on
00:10:19social media, on the mainstream media, and it really
00:10:23distorted what could have been a... positive message into an
00:10:26extremely negative and dark message, rick. how much of this is
00:10:30about maga? and i'm just going to say it, how much of
00:10:34this is about mega turning into mega,
00:10:37i g, cuz once again uh, do a favor,
00:10:41jean, put up that thing from the vice president again, put those four
00:10:45points up again, because i i want to make point about this, because if you go down every one
00:10:49of those four points, the first one that americans wanted that didn't get was
00:10:53end the war, well the war was star. as we all know, because
00:10:56Israel wanted the war to start. In fact, most Americans blame Netanyahu more
00:11:00than they blame Mr. Trump for starting this war. The next one is focus on the cost of
00:11:04living and inflation. Well, inflation and the cost of living has gone up
00:11:08because since the war started, the uh trade roots
00:11:12have been shut down or blocked both in the straight of
00:11:16Hormus and the straight of Amandab. So that's the reason we're having to pay
00:11:20so much more for all the goods that we use in our grocery stores and
00:11:23supermarkets etc. uh put America first, well
00:11:26again that goes back to Americans feel like Israel is
00:11:30being put before America, and then finally number
00:11:34four, change our relationship to Israel, well that's all about Israel, so when you really
00:11:38look at all four these points, they all really point indirectly to
00:11:42Israel, which makes people in the maga movement feel like you sold
00:11:46us mg, you gave us mi
00:11:49g, america first means
00:11:52America first, and that doesn't mean towing or putting the
00:11:56needs, priorities or interests of any foreign
00:12:00government ahead the United States of America, and the
00:12:03perception has been for years
00:12:07that unfortunately BB Netanyahu helped
00:12:11coers the United States into a foreign war
00:12:15that was not in the US interest, did not implicate US
00:12:19national security interest and now has affected the domestic economy and
00:12:23our standing in the world, and this done by recent polling shows
00:12:26that it's really affected a negative fashion the
00:12:30US-Israel relationship, how American's view Israel, how they
00:12:34view BB Netanyahu, and I would argue it affected the recent
00:12:37election in Israel where looks like Netanyahu is on the
00:12:41way out, so this is something that we just have to look
00:12:45at, the the the democrats ran on what should have
00:12:49been the GOP's America first agenda, they
00:12:52simply used that play. to their own uh
00:12:56good and that's why they won, they weren't running anything
00:13:00extremist like transgenderism or some of this cultural
00:13:04marxist nonsense and mokism that they did the first time around, they were
00:13:07talking about cost of living, data centers, the the rise
00:13:11of AI and the dangers of AI, stopping foreign
00:13:15financing of wars, giving money abroad, what does that sound like, rick, that
00:13:19sounds like the president ice supported in 2016 and that millions of
00:13:22americans it in 2024, it does sound like some sort of marxist
00:13:26revolution, yeah, it really is about promises made,
00:13:30promises kept, in this case it's promises made,
00:13:33promises, not kept, and
00:13:35you know, one of those places, we we talked a little bit about Iran, and Iran has just been
00:13:39a disaster, there's no question, but the other
00:13:43disaster in many ways, and this is not so much Mr. Trump's fault, I
00:13:47think Mr. Trump has had the right idea here, but again, it's not about the
00:13:51idea, man, it's about execution. I i played football,
00:13:55whole life, i played high school and college football, we used to have great
00:13:58practices all week long, and then we'd go out on the field and get our asses
00:14:02kicked, well then it's a great thing to practice, it's a great thing
00:14:06to draw your xes and o's and we've got a great plan. who
00:14:09was it, george Foreman who said, everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the
00:14:13mouth, well in Iran has punched us in the mouth,
00:14:17and I hate to say it, so has the Russian military, we have
00:14:21spent 4 or 500 billion dollars of your tax money and... tax
00:14:25money, America's tax money a place called Ukraine that most Americans couldn't
00:14:29even find a map, and for what?
00:14:33And why a country that doesn't even elect its own
00:14:37president because he cancelled the elections, something we would never
00:14:40do, and again, George, you know this, because you've
00:14:44kind of suffered the slings and arrows of this thing, in
00:14:48many ways, this thing is not a problem that
00:14:51began in 2022 when this...
00:14:55war started, this is a problem that began a long time ago,
00:14:59and the mistake was the Washington's and
00:15:03Europe's for not recognizing that they should leave Ukraine
00:15:06alone and stop trying to force Ukraine into
00:15:10NATO. Here's a really smart guy, I think you think he's a smart
00:15:14guy, John Mierscheimer, I think he's one the smartest guys when it comes to this particular
00:15:17topic, talking about just that, that buffer zone that used
00:15:21to separate Europe and Russia. which
00:15:25was violated by Washington and the
00:15:29Europeans. Take a listen. The Russians wanted
00:15:33bufferzone. They wanted Ukraine as
00:15:37bufferzo. and that's what they care about regarding
00:15:39belorussia as well,
00:15:43it's actually NATO that didn't want to buffer zone.
00:15:47I went to Poland about three or four different times
00:15:50and I told the poles that the last thing you
00:15:54want to do is expand NATO into
00:15:57Ukraine, buse it's going to be like poking a hornet's
00:16:01dest and it's going to cause unending trouble for Poland. I
00:16:05said, you have the ideal situation. now and that you
00:16:09have buffer zone, ukraine between Poland and
00:16:13Russia, and what you should do is everything you
00:16:16possibly can to maintain that buffer zone, and
00:16:19if you poke the bear, and the bear takes
00:16:22Ukraine, the bear is going to be right next door to you, and
00:16:26that is not going to be good, but we were not
00:16:30interested, the poles were not interested, the Baltic
00:16:34states were not interested, and the Americans are certainly not. interested, we
00:16:38wanted to march NATO right up to their doorstep, so my argument would be
00:16:41they should have been interested in the buffer zone, sort of getting in
00:16:45line with your points, but we weren't. as matter of fact,
00:16:49biden went just the opposite, and so did NATO,
00:16:53essentially, can we put up map of this? i want our people at home
00:16:57to see this, i think this is important, right? i want what he's talking about is buffer
00:17:01zone, right? here, here's Ukraine a map,
00:17:04and i'm going to show you, george,
00:17:06i don't know if you can see this, but basically just something you know
00:17:08obviously uh there's Ukraine, there's the European
00:17:12Union, there's Russia, perfect buffer zone,
00:17:15and uh, the Mr. Putin at the
00:17:18time said, we're fine with Ukraine being a sovereign, neutral
00:17:22country, NATO said to Ukraine, no, you have
00:17:26to choose us or them, you have to choose us or
00:17:30them, and that's where it all started, that's what John
00:17:33Mimer is saying, George, to you, well,
00:17:37Ukraine has become a massive liability to US
00:17:41foreign policy interests and national security interests,
00:17:45including on the European continent, where I currently am in
00:17:49Rome, has felt the full brunt of what failed
00:17:53policies towards the Ukraine Russia conflict look like in real
00:17:56life, inflation is absolutely out of this
00:18:00world here in Europe, gas prices are higher than ever, food costs are
00:18:04high, people can barely afford rent electricity.
00:18:08up because they decided to cut off Russian energy to its
00:18:11largest market, which was a European Union, and the
00:18:15European citizens are facing the full brunt of those failed
00:18:19policies, and regarding the situation in terms of buffer
00:18:22zone, the United States would never allow either Russia,
00:18:26China or any other foreign country from permitting
00:18:29these ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons
00:18:33or emboldening rogue groups with iridentus claims.
00:18:37on Texas, New Mexico, California, that's what the Trump
00:18:41doctrine has been all about, it's actually about removing potential threats
00:18:45from the western hemisphere, and keeping the United States isolated from
00:18:49any potential foreign threats. The Russian president, the Russian
00:18:53state viewed the situation in Ukraine very similarly the way that
00:18:57Taiwan and China view that relationship, the
00:19:01Europeans failed, Biden failed, and the Trump administration is
00:19:05attempting to resolve this very... system difficult
00:19:12it's going to be resolved on the ground, because I got to tell you, the reports that I'm getting is, there's not
00:19:16much left of Ukraine pretty soon, I think the Russians finally decided, you know, we've
00:19:20been trying to fight the war on the front, not asymmetrically, but they started
00:19:23hitting our civilian and uh infrastructure as well as
00:19:27our energy infrastructure, they started hitting apartments with drones
00:19:31and the Russians have said, okay, two can play at that game, and I
00:19:35think uh, I think the Ukrainians have over. reached in this situation, and I
00:19:38think their own people are feeling it.
00:19:41As matter of fact, I that reminds me, George, I just
00:19:44filed uh, report yesterday, I was a golf course
00:19:48playing golf, and suddenly I saw one of my colleagues sent me
00:19:52this report about this situation with this
00:19:5514-year-old boy who was found a detention center that
00:19:59nobody even knew about, it's like the secret place where they keep soldiers
00:20:03or people who don't want to go to the front line, I did this report, it's already got.
00:20:073 400,00 people who've been watching it and commenting on it. I want to
00:20:11play this for you because I think it speaks to the problems in Ukraine
00:20:15right now. Take a listen. You see that right there? You see
00:20:19that? That's a 14-year-old boy. What the hell
00:20:23is a 14-year-old boy doing locked inside
00:20:27of basement? People are describing it as a
00:20:31torture chamber. The uh Ukrainians are saying
00:20:35that he was part of a group of... some 40
00:20:38individuals, all men who were being
00:20:42detained, apparently as they, but look at
00:20:46this kid, mean he's 14 years old.
00:20:51how what what possible explanation could
00:20:54there be for detaining housing
00:20:58of a 14-year-old boy for a
00:21:01month in a
00:21:04basement? look at his eyes, mean he's
00:21:08been held captive, he's a
00:21:10child, he's a kid,
00:21:14yeah, the reaction of this has been crazy on the internet, that that thing
00:21:18went viral, but the... question is, who am I? I'm Rick
00:21:22Sanchez, some guy with a TV show a correspondent. Why do
00:21:25I have to say this? Where's NATO? Where's the EU? Where are people in
00:21:29the west saying, we're not gonna, we're not going to continue to send money to these people if they're doing
00:21:33stuff like this. Rick, if you are an
00:21:37individual or a country that believes in religious freedom, the
00:21:41democratic process and the good the
00:21:45Ukrainian people, you should absolutely stop supporting the
00:21:48Zelensky regime. because what Zelinsky's regime is doing
00:21:52here is they are evicerating the democratic
00:21:56process in Ukraine when which they've suspended
00:21:59elections, the United States held elections during the civil war,
00:22:03there's no excuse for Zelinsky not to hold elections
00:22:07against the will the people, which has been a key theme of our entire
00:22:11conversation, shutting down churches, I'm an orthodox Christian, that's
00:22:15a personal insult to myself and millions of other orthodox
00:22:19Christians, around the world who believe that their own religion is
00:22:23being attacked in Ukraine, that's something that you that Zelinski is
00:22:26doing, and also the people like this 14-year-old boy
00:22:30and countless others, which are being forced into
00:22:33conscription, lost, killed in the battlefield
00:22:37in a war that they do not want to partake in for
00:22:40what,
00:22:41to expand NATO, something that is not going to happen to enrich
00:22:45Zelinsky's cronies, to enrich Zelinski himself,
00:22:49that's something... that the world, i believe has
00:22:52finally come to understand, the Trump administration has certainly
00:22:56understood it, and why I believe that this conflict
00:23:00will only end when Zelinski is out the picture, and
00:23:03hopefully it's sooner rather than later. yeah, and and I think you used
00:23:07a keyword there, George, when you said undemocratic, I i think that's
00:23:11important, by the way, most countries in the world, you can make an argument in one way or
00:23:15another on democratic, everybody says they are, and in many ways
00:23:18they aren't, but when you could point do very specific things like this
00:23:21incident and the fact that there were, i think something like
00:23:25200 people who were led to this detention
00:23:29center for lack of different description of it, i have no idea what this
00:23:32is, and and i've i've been asking this question, and nobody's giving me answers
00:23:36yet, what was this, why was it hidden, why was it
00:23:39secret location, who are the people who are being detained there, what did
00:23:43they do, have they had, have they gone before a
00:23:47judge, mean we
00:23:49we we don't get a
00:23:50any answers and that's not, that's not democr, that's far from
00:23:53democracy. in fact, I've just learned that
00:23:57170 people who were apparently there protesting for
00:24:01this boy's release, have had their homes rated, according
00:24:05to western reports by the way, and most them are now
00:24:09going to be facing sentences, potential sentences of up
00:24:13eight years in prison, there's the scene there,
00:24:17the the woman, I think her name is I write her name, I got... her name on my notes
00:24:21here, the woman who led people here and discovered this place is
00:24:25a name, woman named valentina molodaya, there she
00:24:28is, she's now been
00:24:31apprehended and she's in jail, i think we have
00:24:35that, she's facing eight years in prison for what
00:24:39freeing a boy, there she is, this is her in court
00:24:42today behind that
00:24:45uh that that glass or whatever where she apparently
00:24:49is going to be sent to potentially eight years in prison, what the hell,
00:24:52George, again I ask, how can how can we allow something like this to
00:24:56happen? I i guess a
00:25:00pro EU, pro Nato, pro
00:25:04Biden Democrat party and
00:25:08pro and post Ukraine coup,
00:25:11Ukraine doesn't really look that rosey for the Ukrainian
00:25:15people, and I think the Ukrainian people were
00:25:19sold. a lie to basically uh
00:25:23support these various agendas that led them to
00:25:27this disastrous situation and Ukraine
00:25:31is farther than ever from any semblance of
00:25:34democracy, any semblance of stability, any
00:25:38semblance of being part the so-called west, and it's
00:25:41all really because the democrats and uh,
00:25:45I believe individuals within Ukraine that never had the interest
00:25:49the...
00:25:49Ukrainian nation, the Ukrainian people, and
00:25:53really that's why this woman and this 14-year-old and countless
00:25:57others are suffering because they
00:26:00decided that they would put their... hired lot in with these
00:26:04groups that never had the interest the Ukrainian people in mind, and
00:26:08that's really why now it's up to the Ukrainian people to say, enough
00:26:12is enough, support the end the war with Russia, get
00:26:16rid of Zelinski and take power back into their own hands
00:26:19and stopping used by these, these western interests
00:26:23to destroy their own country. I just had some conversations recently with some
00:26:27Ukrainian officials and I get a sense that that's what they want,
00:26:30unfortunately they they fear the... repercussions of saying
00:26:34that uh too loudly, let's let you and finish with
00:26:37this, uh, what's going to happen to our country? I mean, I'm
00:26:41a proud American and I want America to be based on common sense, and
00:26:45most of all, I want America, I want my country to care about the needs the
00:26:49people the United States, not the not the needs of guy named Zelensky
00:26:53somewhere, not the needs of guy named Netanyahu somewhere, not the needs
00:26:57of Egypt, not the needs of what whatever the hell is going on out
00:27:00there, but to to to... make sure that people can take care of
00:27:04housing and healthcare and all the things that are so necessary. you
00:27:07mentioned that the democrats seemed to be on that uh narrative,
00:27:11they've uh shared that narrative well, but I don't trust the democrats nor
00:27:15do I trust the Republicans anymore either,
00:27:18so what is it? how do we make this happen? is it
00:27:22the Tucker philosophy, the Massy philosophy, the
00:27:26Margery Taylor Greens may? you know the Jenk Hugers, I
00:27:30don't, a combination of Democrats and to come forward
00:27:34and save this country from this mess? what do you
00:27:37think? we need to reignite the fervor of
00:27:412016 once again, and the only way that
00:27:45we're going to reignite that fervor is by
00:27:48having candidates run for office where they're not to
00:27:52serve the will and the interests of foreign countries,
00:27:56lobby groups or billion or the billionaire class, but
00:28:00once again to secure the interests. the left behind, the
00:28:04working class, the youth and all people in the United States
00:28:07who have been left behind by crushing inflation, high cost
00:28:11of living and earmarking billions of dollars of foreign countries into
00:28:15foreign interventions, as long as we have candidate or
00:28:19candidates that has spouse those virtues and could
00:28:23communicate to the American public without emotions of how
00:28:27they will improve their lives, I think we could turn around the
00:28:30GOP, but this el..." defeat just
00:28:33yesterday I think is a true reckoning and if we're smart we'll use
00:28:37it to become stronger, better and bigger than ever
00:28:41before.
00:29:08If you think about Russia, what does your mind
00:29:11picture?
00:29:19What landscapes open up before your
00:29:21eyes?
00:29:27What wonders can you
00:29:28imagine?
00:29:38Peter Scott starts the
00:29:39journey.
