8:30 pm
2nd term represents an excess dental threat to the intelligence agencies. it's a threat because the c, i a, was suddenly spying on people without a warrant or a cause using their international partners. but they were also major things off as they went along, and the high big inconvenience evidence was pointed to 0 collusion with the russians. they codes the intelligence they made it look like boots and supported from the evidence points the other way. we looked at the report and the sourcing, they used to evaluate the whole thing. and then we got further to look at the data available to them that they didn't use. the overwhelmingly contradiction that conclusions that russia support a trump is hardly surprising about us intelligence agencies. broke a few logs, they've done it before. it's not even surprising to hear that they falsified intelligence. remember, iraq. but what is surprising is that is the 1st time we hear about them use a fake and so to interfere in their own political affairs. this is just another
8:31 pm
case, so to kind of make this so even if you try according to formal and why your professor micro rectinwald's, the c i a is trying to conceal its own wrong drawings by targeting trump. what they're doing is trying to it, we're trying to make tromp or criminal to cover up their own criminal activities. but that's been the, the hmo of this regime for some time. we already knew that the russian collusion hoax was, uh, was just that a hoax. but now this shows that it was in the incidental intelligence that came to the f b i or the c i a, a through accident. it was really outsourced to these 5 eyes. and they then were told to find something on these people, which then they could claim came from other sources. the c, i a is probably one of the most criminal organizations on the planet. and so
8:32 pm
breaking the laws, nothing new for them at all. what's new about this is the weaponized ation of the, of the, of the intelligence community to foil a political rival to the regime. and namely, trump, in this case, they wanted to destroy him and cast down above his entire legitimacy before he was even tapped to be president by the, the electorate. this is a community that is uh, that thrives on data. and that, that collects it without a permission, without official size of permission in the case of united states, and probably against the will of some of the so called allies of united states as well. those are the top stars. this our head to our website are to come from one use. com regent. underline this is i'm a nationwide josh. direct impact is off next. the
8:33 pm
the . hi everybody. i'm rick sanchez. i've been doing news for 30 years and 2 languages all over the world. here in the us, i've interviewed for you as president's working for the u. s. has major television networks. i don't like what they do. see, i think news should be honest and direct and impactful. this direct impact the the, well, disney company recently reported it lost 900000000 dollars in movies that, well just didn't do so well because people decided they didn't want to go see them . that's almost a $1000000000.00. now, just how many bucks office flops of disney incurred?
8:34 pm
well, let's look at the numbers. where we learned that the last 8 big movies that disney release did not doing well. not at all guardians of the galaxy and the little mermaid. and that would be that those are bad, strange world light year, even worse, summer, calling them complete failures in the industry. so what kids, right. i mean, those, those sound like solid title, solid beams, which in the past would have been great for disney. right. so what's different? but the differences, the characters have been changed, right? they've been modified, not just modernize, know they've been given progressive makeovers. and that is making many americans think that disney has just gone too far, and that they no longer represent them. for example, on cora, one of america's most popular question and answer platforms, this question pops up. that's why we see so many gay and lesbian characters and
8:35 pm
almost all of us movies or tv series. most of the comments sounded like this, quote, this honestly drives me insane. i will start by saying that i have nothing against homosexuals or transgender is or whatever else there are out there these days. but it's getting out of control, stop quote. and there's this comment. i agree. the gay agenda is being thrown in our faces. whether we want it or not, look, as far as we're concerned, whether there's a gay agenda at disney and it exists or it doesn't exist as it's not for us to pick on. i'd rather just look at the numbers, the research. and here's what upsets. according to gallop, roughly 7 percent of americans identify as gay, lesbian, or transsexual, 7 percent. that means it would be perfectly normal and expected to see occasionally or 7 percent of the time or more characters on tv and movies, who are gay or lesbian, or trans actual right?
8:36 pm
perfectly normal. but what many americans say they see, and what studies seem to show is that it's not occasional far from it. it's more like i'm the present or everywhere. in fact, well only 7 percent of americans may identify as l g. b in movies, they're more like at a minimum 20 percent. don't take my word for it. this is a study that's done by glad this is a non profit organization that advocates for l g b t, according to their report. one 5th of all the movies that are made in hollywood have at least one l g b t character. that means, according to hollywood, 25 percent of america is gay, lesbian, or transsexual. now, is that reality? not even close, right. i mean, hollywood is for training on america. that is it like the real america you had according to glad hollywood is it doing enough? they want to make sure that america is more representative of gay,
8:37 pm
lesbian and transsexuals. well, that's what they advocate to be fair. according to glad hollywood still has. busy the quote, a long way to go to get it right. what they argue is that we should be seeing more good characters. and so far, companies like lions gate and paramount pictures, and so many pictures on united artists and universal pictures. walt disney studios warner brothers seem to agree because they are in fact casting more eligibility characters, but apparently not enough, according to glass. studies do show that growing number of americans among those americans who support l g b t, right? so they actually support l g b t rides. but there's sometimes i'm comfortable sitting down to watch television with their families and saying on america that doesn't resemble the america that they have come to know for them is not a question of accepting l g b. take, it's about watching tv shows, commercials, and movies that tell them every family must have a uncle or
8:38 pm
a lesbian aunt or an eligibility son or a daughter, or a grand parents. even though real demographics don't bear that out. but that's not the only issue where hollywood is kind of losing america. the fact of the matter is viewers who taken tv and movies in america, kind of get a distorted sense of who we really are. men, for example, man, are generally emasculated in the media. these days and have been for about a decade or so, the leading man used to be a dude who was strong and not afraid to show his virility and his aggressiveness. sometimes maybe too much. sure. but that's now being been replaced by a softer version of man. and it's worse that are off. it actually presented as a stupid, clumsy not capable. whether you're watching a commercial or a movie or a tv show, that's what you're going to see. they always have to be corrected by somebody else,
8:39 pm
especially women. because women, on the other hand, are now the super heroes. they are the tough cots with all the right, karate shots, while man has to be saved by them. women are also generally smarter and more capable than men in hollywood, according to movies, and according to commercials, or how they're portrayed. the don't get me wrong. men still make more money than women in hollywood. and that's not right. but when it comes to image stuff, even close and that so it's on social psychologist and sociologists is having kind of a, an adverse effect on boys who are growing up in america who are just kind of confused . like, what's my role supposed to be? fact is the world that hollywood creates is simply nothing like the world that we live in latin americans, for example, hispanic americans. they make up almost 20 percent of the population of the united states. that means or one 5th of the population. right?
8:40 pm
yeah. when you watch tv and movies, according to studies, they barely even are visible. even though they're 20 percent of the population, they make up only 3 percent of, of the characters that you see on, on tv, and movies. and how are they presented in those movies? criminals cleaning ladies, drug dealers. african americans, for example, have it much better these days. after all those years being treated horribly by hollywood. now, even though they only make up 13 percent of the population, they same on the present in movies. good. see and tv commercials and tv shows by most accounts assumed by many casual tv viewers, african american seem to represent anywhere between 25 to 50 percent of the population, even though demographically, that's nowhere near correct. and by the way, more often than not, they are presented positively by hollywood cast as professionals,
8:41 pm
doctors and business people and lawyers. white southerners, for example, our cast has poured adults on educated bigots. the question is whether one group is better than the other. obviously, the reality of america is that filled with wonderful stories of great achievers, or black or african american, former slaves also, asians, and white, and hispanic. and every few in between. the question is does hollywood skew demographic reality? and in so doing is it losing america's trust in general? most conservatives, of course, so yes, but they're not alone when it comes to not trusting hollywood. many americans, including liberals, discovered a long time ago that hollywood is not the place you want to go to better understand the world of the country that we live in. in fact, hollywood, is that a history of lying to us flat out lying to us no place?
8:42 pm
is it more audacious, more malignant then it's relationship with the military. did you know that the defense department has a special office of a special department within the department that works with hollywood to approve and even help right and produce the movies that you watch? it seems that this is how they get us. for example, if you think about it, put yourself in the times of all these things that happen in the united states, those movies. and those tv shows is how they got us to hate the vietnamese one day . but then they switched to the rockies where the afghani is the next. then there's the terrace gloss. busy by hollywood standards, by hollywood standards, tend to be violent errands. russians are bullies, the chinese are sneaky. now remember, the japanese used to be sneaky, but that's no longer the case. because hollywood decided to reassign the sneaky
8:43 pm
thing from the japanese now to the chinese. because somebody, and i guess the pentagon or the state department made that decision, talk about marching orders. here's the point and according to research conducted in places like the university of georgia, hollywood is in bed with the us state department and the pentagon. so much so that if you want to make a movie and they don't like it, it's probably not going to be the same. so say you are a producer and you want to make a war film. you would walk into the entertainment liaison office in downtown los angeles resale when a film an air force base or one an aircraft carrier, or i once he buckled helicopters or whatever it is. and they would tell you straight away, give us your entire script. in the documentary theaters of war that you just saw, piece of producers and directors explain how the pentagon insist on control of
8:44 pm
their message. that means you have to turn your script literally over to them. some people probably would say, well yeah, i've heard of this like the top gun maybe black hawk down, maybe some of the marble series. but what they don't know is how systematic this has been and how huge this operation is being. you can call it censorship. you can call it propaganda it's, it's all of these things. censorship, propaganda that says those are the words of oliver stone. now he is one of the few directors who have succeeded without seeking the approval from the pentagon. somebody's been able to bypass a, but that's one in a 1000000. so just out pronounced is the state department's hold on the message that we receive and movies the producers of theater award did a freedom of information act to try and get those details. those numbers, which they say when they solve them, that they were stunned. what we found is that thousands of homes,
8:45 pm
thousands upon thousands of products have been affected and are open rewritten at script level by the national security state in the united states. the normal people know about that, the cost of it, by the way, what do you say we continue this conversation? you and i how do you say we go to twitter? i'm there. you're there. call it x. call it what you want there. i'm rick sanchez, tv rick sanchez, tv. i'll be looking for you when we come back. how hollywood sells out. not just in terms of a fake america that they create, but also how they sell out to the state department independent gone. do they allow to rewrite their scripts? as i mentioned earlier, i just find that amazing will be right back the
8:46 pm
the the, the the on march, the 11, some 2011. the largest us great ever recorded in japan is where interested. a 14 me
8:47 pm
to to nami devastates the focus fema each and you the a pallets on the nuclear reenters are flooded, sparking another risk disaster. the id is killed by the anytime in june or is living in japan. and this nice to go to the area of the new, the a meltdown. conflict of shima immediately drove me to talk to somebody about the 4 year investigation stats. watch on tv.
8:48 pm
the there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case of the med, most of the people i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also absurd. this is the 3rd world we'll just see. re, washington press 4. so the funder line likes to say, we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deals to help me living on that. we have very quick propaganda. you know, a price here in new york. i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. some more questions, ask a better. the answer is, will be the joining us out of talking about this is ted rall. he's a political cartoonist and you can find that by the way it wrong dot com r a l l dot com. course you can find them anywhere else cuz he's very publish also
8:49 pm
very controversial. which may be one of the reasons that we have on the show that let's get to it. what are you, sir? let's do it. so last night i was watching a movie with my wife. so i went to uh apple tv and uh, i was watching this, jennifer garner, i wrote down the title. the last thing he told me is the name of the series good series. you can tell it's well done. they put some money behind it and stuff. but right, as soon as i started watching it, i saw something that, that, that stood out for me as just an average boy, american guy, you know, we're hispanic american guy. on the interviews. jennifer gardner, she's being jennifer broader, but that all of a sudden her associate is an african american woman who is immediately like one of the 1st themes is kissing her lesbian girlfriend. and i'm just thinking, is that really necessary? but you don't find uh, the fact that she's african american, then the next character is also uh, somebody who is obviously
8:50 pm
a day. most of the actors are academic african american and, and, and i'm saying this as a guy, ted, there is no worse atrocity in the history of our country than what we do to african americans. and they do deserve, and they deserve to be put in a place now where people can understand them as something other than the way we used to treat them in hollywood and the way we treat them across the board. but unfortunately, that's not what's happened. it's not honest what i see when i turn on movies. when i see hollywood is not what america looks like, but what they're trying for america to be there, maybe 3 percent of population escape. that's great. and they need to be represented . what about 50 percent? african americans are 13 percent of the population. they're not 60 percent. so it's creating the backlash. this m p hollywood, n t movie and he entertainment backlash, which is creating a with get america. that's my perspective. what's yours?
8:51 pm
a look, i've experienced it personally. i pitch stuff to hollywood. quite often. i have a project right now in development. i had another project that was based on one of my own books. it was called really american to admit the worst thing i've ever done . um and uh, basically the show that was, it was pitched to me, someone came to me and said we'd like to turn this into a tv show. and basically i was going to be the host. i was gonna be the m c. and then we're gonna sort of have people recreate the worst thing that they'd ever done in episode after episode. yeah. at one point they come to me and they said, you know, there's this problem, you're a white guy and we're wondering, you know, do, do you care if the host is not you? i'm like, i don't care what the host is, not me. yeah. i have other things to do. it's like do you care if the host is black, for example, or another person of color? i'm like, no, i don't care. and then the like, oh god, but it really should be you because he wrote the book. i'm like what you guys got
8:52 pm
to decide what you want to do. i can't become black. i'm just this is why i am in the, in the whole project fell apart because they couldn't spoil that. they said that they couldn't be the production company, said that there's just was no bandwidth in hollywood these days for projects that either showcase a white male straight cyst, normative able bodied star, much less an m c. and you know it, it is. i noticed similar things. i'm in the world of pub book publishing. i went to the local, independent books earlier today. all the books from the center table that are featured. they're all this just like you describe, right. sort of like, uh, you know, my 1st lesbian kiss or, or whatever. and i'm kind of like thinking, this is so american. we go from a world where a lot of people never saw themselves on t right ever, chico, and a man was a revolutionary shot, right? for, for to kind of it's right, and then it's like now we're, we're like, white people may not see. hold on tv. and that's what this is the 1st country as
8:53 pm
the point. i don't think either one of us would classify ourselves or could be classified as people who are either racist or don't want other people to be seen on tv. it's just that when i turn on my tv, it doesn't look anything like the america that i live in. it's, i want to do whatever isn't taishan, i want days. it's ok if you want to throw in a trans character from time to time. i certainly want african americans and asian americans and everybody else by the way, hispanics are 20 percent in population. we're only drug dealers in movies for some reason. but i so, so it in us, it, in those, you know, no, it's not us. and like, the thing is, you know, if, if blacks are 14 percent of the population, then if they should be in front of our eyes, roughly 14, the time is in all arenas. right? but i can put on that because i tried that numbers. i can show you there, there are somewhere between 35 and 55, but that's it. well, that's kind of, yeah,
8:54 pm
that's kind of insane. and you know, i was thinking about, you may have seen this old movie, i think of, from the eighty's early ninety's called boomerang. eddie murphy was the star and it was an experiment. click on it was experimental, felt great movies takes place in an office. and without comment, everyone in the field is black, right? there's no, there's no, it's in an office. i think it's a legal office, but there's no clerk sewer white, there's no. everyone's just black and the fact that they're black isn't really central to the plot. it's just a world where everyone's a black american, it's cool, but it's an experiment. and that that is becoming what hollywood looks like. yeah, for real. and it's like that's not a correction. a correction is where you make the, you make pop culture. look, the way that society rex, i said we both agree. there's something weird that the creating a world that doesn't exist and for some reason they're manipulating it. now, what is the cause, right? i, this is what there's a couple of different things that we can talk about here. the 1st is to the people
8:55 pm
in those professions who are in management and make the decisions. that's what they believe. in other words, they're likely is a majority of, or they're a majority of people in hollywood for example. they tend to be very well, very liberal. you know, i don't want to go into the discussion too much, but they, they, they probably tend to be more gay. they probably tend to be living in a world that makes them want to do that. that might be one of the reasons you agree . i think that's part of it. i mean, you know, i saw bill maher scott, where he was talking about how, you know, there's, there's, it's very likely, if you're in like manhattan, where i live, or l a, where he lives, that, you know, you'll know, a parent who has a, a transgender child you know, not so likely if you're from youngstown, ohio. i grew up in the day right now. and there's something to that that world is more diverse. but i also think it's sort of
8:56 pm
a very corporate kind of way of looking at problems. it's like, it's sort of very simplistic. it's like, okay, well we, you know, someone from the d, you have your new ceo of d. i comes over, it tells you, you know, um about, you know, see, you know, rick, we have this problem with our company. we are, we don't have nearly enough people of color, and so you think to yourself, you know, instead of thinking, okay, well we need to up that out. we need to increase that. you're like, okay, no more white hires. only bring in people of color conflict. it's like we don't have enough what, what much any. okay. so there was no, you want to tell your story. that's about you. would they want to make it about somebody else because they don't think it fits that they need to do it about that? by the way, those of you watching us around the world and you don't understand the word the tech just used. it's diversity. a quality of what it, what are the, what's the last one, enclosure, and that's actually something now that has become part of a nomenclature. for those of us here is the united states. if you work in
8:57 pm
a corporation that has become a sort of mand truck for your company nowadays, and i even have a little bit of a problem with that. not that i have a problem with either of those words. i have a problem with the fact that they're kind of creating quick mandating it, you know, well it's, it's the fact that it's so um, ham fisted and clumsy, right? it's a fish. it's like there's no grace to it. i mean, to be reasonable. you, you kind of have to say, well, ok, i mean look, people says life is not a 0 sum game. and when it comes to employment and exposure it is, um, every minute that i'm on this show, someone else is not on the show, right? so this is like, so when it comes to this sort of thing like, you know, i recently had a friend suggest to me, oh, you know, hey, if you try to reach out to x, y, z, media corporation about maybe seeing if they'll hire you. and then i'm like,
8:58 pm
are you serious? i'm exactly the demographic that they're trying to fire. hey, it's a delight to talk to you to have your smart guy and i appreciate your work and i appreciate the conversation. thanks. thanks rick. so fun. hey, before we go, i want to remind you of our mission here. simple, really? we want to the silo the world. we've got to stop living in these little boxes where we only know our troops troops don't live in little boxes there everywhere. i'm rick sanchez, and i'll be looking for you right here where i helped provide you with a direct impact the the way are in moscow. standing in the center of one of russia's most iconic symbols in bodies, greece, elegance, articles on a grandiose scale theater,
8:59 pm
the president by new president, need to talk. i've said that repeatedly, publicly and privately, in the united states. for years, you cannot solve this without sitting down, and this is not ukraine and russia sitting down. this is the united states and russia sitting down and talking about a serious way to have beautiful respect. and they have mutual security because that's absolutely what's needed for this world.
9:00 pm
the we saw with breaking news. russia's defense minister confirmed that russian forces up taking full control of the city about the after months of fields. bottles add you as president joe binding to funds. the possibility that new crane may use other specific points due to a lack of, i mean nation. this comes with a built that with location, the stalls and congress, the thousands. it is rarely as a test as a rallying against prime minister and it's in the i was government and calling for elections the.
