the troops on the blog, how to side comment load. now, i mean, when mcclung said that there was a possibility of putting native boots on the ground in ukraine. the rest of europe said, well, we're not on board with that. but now we, we have this lee, which shows that gemini hasn't been completely on, is tells us that comment look exactly. so we learned about what expressed new ways, but the already some the special troops instruct all, so people gave information review queen sort of a state if you had been lying for the last 2. your students who were citizens about is a question of the red line of when they put more towards the must see really i think that they watch because you can see there was no, there's a fee of your parents to be left out to if a trauma is re elected and 20, the washington strategy are from good shepherd to cut of fund of you is so off to using ukraine as a proxy. it gets a,

a rush off to ukraine and we'd be exhausted. the americans would like to put your bands west on your pants on the front. o u. k. auction houses cancel the sale of any fuel can shields taken from the country by british soldiers in the 19th century. that's after the off the face, the pressure from the east african countries government, the 19th century athenian showed a vital part of the feel. p has called draw. heritage was allegedly new to different colonial times. british troops planned to numerous artifacts, which found their way into private collections and public museums in the united kingdom. since the shields reappearance at the auction, the european national heritage restitution committee has stepped in condemning the sale as quote in appropriate and immoral since the author of fact has been monthly acquired in a context of a punitive expedition to the c o. p. a in which these items were looted. the sale of this item annual auction is inappropriate. a heard from history professor hobbit

by a law from the issue of being heritage or 40. he says, african states must work together to fight for the return of stolen artifact that showed that that was uh, auctioned uh, to be auctioned uh in new castle by the understanding the guideline, the auction house because it could have significance to the people in the government that shared was looked at in uh uh, after you 1868 when the beat this expedition moved to the deal. and uh, i talked with the deal can fall, says at the 4th test market bella, which was, uh, the seat of, uh, the end product to adjust the 2nd buys in. so the british took a large number of heritage of the facts. some of them which are very vital importance like this field. the british x petition was not simply an

expedition to flee some york in prison us around to, to take all objects to the objects of the historical significance. so it's not gonna take up a 2nd layer, the guardian colonial the object to that to taken out of africa during the colonial period. uh they must be or the 5 digits of the only know of every i think a member of the unit sco shrouds a strongly advocate. the fact that the 9070 convention is uh, uh, mid deliberately. so that the objects from the colonial period is that they're not, it should not be the time. so who is that? uh felician must to be uh amended so that it should include the parent from the 16th century on what to swim objects we have

the staff to to, to, to be taken out of africa. so those are the top, sorry ssl, i don't forget to check out our website r t dot com for more. i'm a big show adult shelby back up at the top of the hour with the main to stay with us the the hey, i'm rick sanchez. i've been doing news now for 30 years and 2 languages all over the world. here in the us. i've interviewed for president's work that uh, 5 of the us has major television networks. i don't like what they do. so yeah, i think there should be on a should, it should be direct and it should be impactful. this, by golly,

is direct impact the so let's start with this question. how does a bite ministration describe something that should have been so easy? wasn't tell us. so our nation's most important advisor on all matters related to warren defense goes to the hospital and he doesn't tell anybody. all right, maybe it's just a quick thing like, you know, bad flu sprained ankle, that kind of thing. and he didn't have time to call his boss who happens to be by the way, the president united states. oh, why? who, by the way also happens to be engaged right now in and active military conflicts in the middle east. what is turning into a disastrous intervention in, in ukraine, as well as the accusations of reading china through military exercises right off the coast of taiwan. so yes, with all of that going on, it's expected and the history has shown that us presidents maintain regular, if not daily communications,

with members of their defense department and their security council. general lloyd austin is both the sits on the national security council. he's the secretary of defense. now it could've been no big deal because he went to the hospital one day for something routine been done a buddy? of course, of course, nobody would be talking about it if that was the case, but that is not what happened. what austin had was prostate cancer and he was operated on weeks in advance. and it happened under general anesthesia when he was out and nobody told a whitehouse. but this is where the story gets really weird. so a few weeks after the surgery, he has some kind of relapse and it's taken by ambulance to the hospital and again, the white house isn't informed. so what happens when he gets to the hospital? you ask good question. the doctors take

a look at them and they're so alarmed by his condition. they send them to intensive care, you know, where they send patients and critical condition. still mister button doesn't know anything about this. monday turns to tuesday, tuesday turns to wednesday and then thursday, and still lloyd austin general lloyd austin is in the hospital in intensive care. and the president of the united states doesn't know about it. finally, friday comes and the president is informed. and now everybody else knows. everybody else is asking the same questions that you would think they would ask. how did nobody maleness? we have a guy who's in charge of our i read about it today. he's using a laptop from his hospital bed. they couldn't find them secretary of defense and he's running the war with a laptop like a child. what do you know? like a child plays with a laptop? as you can see, the president is getting a lot of heat for this. and there's something we should probably mention at this

point. obviously general austin's illness is very serious. and look, we're not trying to downplay his condition and certainly of course we wish him and his family. well, while he battles what could be horribly and serious disease. so we're not trying to pick on him can when he's sick, or when he's down here. but what we are saying, and i think needs to be said, is that there are some legitimate questions here that need to be breaking news. now we are learning secretary of defense, lloyd austin, has been released from the hospital defense secretary lloyd austin was released from the hospital yesterday after 2 weeks of treatment for complications from prostate cancer surgery. newly released 911 call is were billing details about defense. secretary lloyd austin's emergency trip to the hospital. last month austin was admitted for complications from prostate cancer surgery without president biden or other top officials. knowing of course, my colleagues in the media have jumped all over the story, but they're covered at the same way. they cover everything else. you know,

they turn it into a political so pop, right? said she said the republican, the democrat 5 by right? usually what they, they don't ask the right questions, you know, it might take as long as i don't think this is just the story about some elderly president who. busy aren't communicating and didn't know what was going on with the member of his cabinet. i think what their lack of communication tells me or certainly makes me ask, is that maybe these men don't need to talk to each other. maybe they didn't talk to each other because they don't need to talk to each other because of decisions that are being made about warranties. are not being made by them. or oh sure they're involved. both of them have been front and center with pronouncements, right? deliberate news conferences, teleprompters and you know, like these armando denominate, former general lloyd austin as a 28 secretary of defense. i want to thank you, general your friend,

but i want to thank you, general austin for once more stepping forward to serve your nation. it will be my sincere honor and privilege to return to the department and to lead our great service members and civilians and accomplishing the mission of ensuring our nation security. let me say this after watching that just because you read prepared comments from a teleprompter, doesn't mean you are originating policy. see what i'm saying. and here's the question. we need to ask, how be holding? are these men to those who have the most to gain from these wars that they always talk to us about? start with mr. biden, for example, of the people around him. all right, 5 in foreign policy team, both as president and vice president have always read and still do read like

a who's who of wall street and corporate suits. we'll see more connect with the big money and they are to the people of the united states. how do i know this? i looked it up, you could to look it up. what i found is that the same people who set our foreign policy in this country come from institutions that benefit from those policies. they come from a hedge funds, they come from private equity, they come from defense contractors. you want names, let's name names. there we go. nicholas burns, in charge of a china policy. his corporate benefactors, the cohen group, campbell, he's on the national security council. his corporate died, the age of group, tom donald and also for the security council. his corporate dog isn't as big as it gets. he's with black rock investments or the group that was just given essentially ukraine. and there's, when the sherman state department or business dies albright stonebridge jake sullivan, mr. biden's national security advisor is corporate collection, macro advisory. there they are. so what about lloyd austin?

well, i got to tell you the general austin's corporate connections run deep and wide as well. they include the new core corporation, united technologies, raytheon, raytheon, and prior to joining president biden, austin worked together with the us secretary of state anthony blinking at the pine island capital partners group, a private equity firm investing in your ready defense companies who hoffer, among other things, access to government leaders, they say like president biden, one more thing about austin that you should probably know about you live comfortably, but not often patiently for most of his life on a military salary. good for him. but now he lives on a mansion right on the ocean in a place called kaya our island and south carolina and iowa. and he's worth more than $7000000.00. so when we come back,

i'm gonna play for you the emergency call to police. when they tried to get an ambulance to the general's home, by the way, it's interesting how they handle that. that's going to be funny to a fascinating to listen to. and we're going to be joined by these 2 guys calling nixon and michael maloof to get their take on this really weird set of circumstances and what it really means don't go away, will be right back the the

welcome back. i'm rick sanchez. i want you now to hear something. this is the call to the authorities to send an ambulance immediately to the home of general austin a few weeks ago. listen, by the way, something is interesting. i listen to how they try to coax the person on the other line to make sure the ambulance arrives with no light, no bubble, no noise. they don't want the neighbors to find out here. check this out. can i ask

that can anyone's not show up with like some sirens. we're trying to remain a little settled. yeah, i understand. yeah. usually when they turn into a residential neighborhood they'll turn them off, but it isn't reporting in a chest pain at all. okay. did he pass out or does he feel like he's going to pass out? uh no. okay. and like you said he's, he's awake, he's alert and oriented, he's not confused or is that correct? correct. joining mean. 2 to talk about this former pentagon official, michael maloof, and the host of the critical our garland mix. and gentlemen, thanks so much for being with us. i guess, garland i start with you, does the president deserve to be criticized for this whole place? you know, absolutely. but you know, it is, has been my experience that when someone gives you a litany of excuses, often times, maybe one of them is true, but often times none of them is true. we were originally told that it was elective

surgery. we were told that no anastasia was used, which would make which that argument would be used to say he didn't have to transfer authority because he wasn't put the sleep. yes. and then it moves, of course to prostate surgery, possibly. so we've, the story is been evolving and i think in law, what did they call that? a creeping admission. i watched. what's the biggest thing here, michael? the fact that the president wasn't told the fact that the president didn't need to be told, or that they essentially lied to us. i think the president, it shows that the president doesn't hold his defense chief and highest in high priority. from the policy standpoint, it's blinking who runs foreign policy and national security. can you know what it is? i don't know if you, if you listen when i was just doing my intro, but i found out that blinking and, and general washington work together. yes. in the corporate world. yes. but it's in the administration bleak and has the lead on national security and foreign policy

as does jake sullivan. so that's fascinating. you're saying, look, the president, if it had been a blanket in the hospital, he would have called you probably because he needs to talk to him. i don't, anybody's, but he doesn't want to get a sense of the senate days. well, here's what, here's you know what i think? i think he doesn't need to talk to either of them or, i think and look at this is not a conspiracy show and i'm not going into a deep state thing. okay. but i do believe, and i'm not going to call, it's a deep state, that there is foundation only a group of people. i would say no government who make decisions who have not elected positions, but somehow are in positions of power. and they have as much to say about ukraine and gaza and taiwan as the president or the secretary of defense, or even the head of the state department. and you say what their proxies are sitting right there in those positions of the administration. that re representing

the corporate people and, and all the others you listed earlier and their, and their view points and a bite. it doesn't is out of it any way. and they, they shelter him a lot. so that makes it and, and, and he's not even in control. so it's other people who are really calling the shot . well, and garland here's where it gets interesting. i, i agree that in the case of fighting, it does look like because the president is somewhat feeble. an elderly, maybe they do a work around, but i would suggest and let me ask it in the form of a question to you, how they've been doing that work around through bush and obama, and the trump and all the others as well. so i think the answer is clearly yes, we know of multiple instances that were reported under donald trump, where he gave specific orders to people under him and they just disobeyed the orders in lied to him about things that have happened. and there's been recent

stories that have come out that said, people in the pentagon are making preparations, in case donald trump becomes president. so he won't use his powers in a quote dig tutorial way, which i interpret to mean he may actually say, likes like, let's not go to war with some one or something like that. yeah. so if there is an entity, you can find obama to right. yeah. i mean, you can call it the deep state, you can call it the state, it doesn't matter. but there is clearly an entity of power that pushes an ideology that will, if the president goes along with it, great. if he doesn't go along with it, they'll do what they need to do. let me ask you this. you're a military guy, right? doesn't bother you that this general suddenly shows up in kite our island living on a private island on a mansion and is worth over $7000000.00. i mean, well how does that all? yeah, he has a right to get a job. and if want somebody wants to pay and i don't give you that, i'm not a communist here. i'm not saying it doesn't deserve to make money. but is there something suspicious about, you know, if you go to the corporate realm, you're going to get that kind of money because of your,

your influence and who you have and who you can relate to in it. and that he's obviously the secretary to. yeah. but, but then it goes, but then it goes back to the let me see, here's a problem. yes, he's fine. i'm no longer a military person. i no longer work in the government. i go work at ibm and i get a great job. but that all the study goes from ibm back to the white house. who do you think he's going to take care of either? yeah. but ultimately or raytheon. yeah, he's looking out for gracie on. i mean, that's why we have 2 wars. one of these words as 5 fronts. so one of the big cheney the master of the very thing we're talking about now. yeah. yeah. but i will, i will take exception with one area. when i was independent, god don round rumsfeld ruled. yeah. and he would have major knock down, drag out with call and pile when he was secretary of state and, and kind of lisa rice was in the national security council trying to keep them apart. and then trying to come together to do to come to some compromise between them. i think it depends upon the weight. should we invade afghanistan, 1st, or

a rock 1st, because they ended up doing, basically catastrophic that decision was made before. uh before. uh uh, some of these guys even came in the office and, and this is, this is the unfortunate but, but your point is what that, that, that it's worse now that's actually worse funny, but it was still bad that very little bad. it was bad, but i think a lot of it had to do with the personality drive and, and, and because bush respected rumsfeld and because of his own trustees and you're saying are so it's not, no rush. so now he's the guy was solve the exit of the united states military, out of your rock that, that introduce isis. and with all the respect to him, because i know he's sick. right now we pile on the guy. but but, but, but yeah, we're finding out that there are some things there that make it look like he's got a strong, he's not a strong personality. no. and what we're looking at here, i mean that's why the d o j has to protect hunter by because that's of the game now,

in fluid i have influenced, i can market that in fluids. if my father's the v p, if i'm connected to whoever the game in washington dc is selling your influence, peddling your influence now, and whether it's the president's dawn or whether it's, you know, you're a, you know, somebody's wife or daughter or you actually hold the position that's where the money is. yeah, i, i, you know, i agree with you. i've heard my republican colleagues and friends often argue that a 100 by has done a horrible thing because he used his. 6 big vice president to get jobs and be paid and stuff. and i, whenever i hear that argument, i think whole wouldn't do that, right? it's a lot of problems with the cocaine and the end, the end, the end, the prostitutes of everything else. but that's it. to be honest, i have less of a problem with his own personal vices than i do, you know, because he's a human being and a but he's suffered from that. whatever the case. yeah. he's, he's like, when you get into the other things that are happening,

his connections to the bio research labs funnelling money to the bottom. how is that different from, from blinking, and sullivan and, and wendy williams, our, i'm sorry, wendy sherman and the people who did it with a back legal team. and so they have to protect him because that's how they're all feeling there by everyone who is in power. tony blinking, or whoever it is, they have a severe of influence around them. and all of their assistants and the people around them are peddling that influence. this is not a democrat or republican thing. this is a, this is a thing in our government that we have to probably find a way to do so. lots peddling is against the law, simple and pure and simple. and how do you make it against the law, but they did it. that's what he's, that's why they had these congressional hearings now because he wasn't, it wasn't what a matter of just doing this man. do. all these people in the bottom of his grades who quite a job in corporate world on tuesday. and he was born providing on wednesday because he was bidding, because allegedly joe biden was reaping

a financial benefit from it while he was on a government salary and the capital law. but, but, but this is not, i don't want to turn to show it to another 100 and lizzy good or bad, is obviously the guys, you know, crockett, among other things, and problematic. my question is, he was an instrument. he's a symptom of yes. yeah, of the problem using the keypad, which of the right is an expression of the problem? yeah, this is what they're all doing. you can see it blatantly and 100100 by them. but when you start looking at jo biden's cabinet, how all of these people came straight out of the think tanks and these think tanks are funded by the military industrial complex and they know this. and then when they leave, they will go right back to think tanks, and they will be financially rewarded for the contracts that they were able to and dollars. they were an tax benefit from what we're doing a new claim, for example, that's the problem. you know, if there were just making money and it was a bank or something but lives get lost. people die, money is spent. screens don't get new books or whatever it is because we got

a $125000000.00 in new credit. and another 3 or $4000000000.00 going every day to, to the cost of situation. and another 7 or 8000000000 going to uh, to, to taiwan. and that's, and they're getting the title. is that how it works? sure. ultimate, i mean it directly indirectly, indirectly plus the influence, it's the inflows to the present and decision making and, and, and, and also is that worse today than it ever was. we're down to a minute, but i think so i think you do in your work that yeah, you were in the pen, the worst i've ever seen it. do you think the situation has gotten worse? i definitely, and you can simply just see the unraveling of our government and the lack of legitimacy of the ruling a lead the capitalism run a mark though you haven't, you haven't even, you know, crony capitalism as opposed. i'm off for a capital us, your capital us. we all, you know, i don't like my marginally over here, marginally good. but you know, but yeah, just i get everything right. yeah. but this is, this is when we're, capitalism starts the rock. when you let nothing matter,

but how much money can i make off this deal, even if i'm screwing over my own car, i would argue this is where entire starts to take over. and the import, the thing is to maintain the empire where the ruling elite filled their pockets. and now we have to be the working class has to be sacrificed on behalf of the ruling elite and the ruling lead is no longer viewed as legitimate. that's a fine, that's an interesting way of putting it. and you, mr. maloof, that mr. former pentagon official, your get the final word and it is what our congress is a blatant example of that constantly. and we haven't even talked about that. and so it's that it's in, into, of the 3 of our branches of government. and, and this, an income is about a full truck. and again, it comes in the form of dark money. exactly. is fed to people and we don't even know where it comes from. and i hate to say it, but you know, uh, trump got a $120000000.00 of it, and bite and got another $100000000.00 plus. and they were the 2 candidates for the presidency and they'll probably get even more of this time. and that's

a problem as well, but that's another show for another time. gentlemen, you've been fantastic, really a great conversation and thank you for joining us. that's michael. i'm a little former pentagon official garland mixing most of the critical hour on radio . sputnik. he has me on as a guest from time to time. i hope he has me back before we go, i want to remind you of our vision here at simple really. i want to be silo. the world gotta stop living in the boxes, you know, to still live in boxes there, everywhere. i'm rick sanchez and i'll be looking for you again right here, where i hope to give you a direct impact. the on the, at the end of the 19th century, africa was divided between european empires,

which mercilessly oppressed the indigenous population. modern day tends and he used to be a german colony. the germans levied heavy taxes on local drives and use them as free labor on cotton plantations. the pheasants protest turned into an uprising against the colonial list under the banner of the religious movement of the magazine magazine. it was led by a man named kinsey to the rebels use guerrilla tactics, because they did not have the power to grasp the german army in head on confrontation. but the germans were not able to suppress the resistance of the guerrillas either. so the invaders decided to starve that population to that. one of the commanders of the german troops kept in wagon. heim wrote only unger and one can lead to final submission. military actions alone will remain more or less

a drop in the ocean. the blasphemous bland work. the invaders burned villages and fields. in 2 years, germany deliberately starved up to 300000 people did that later. the monstrous experience of the 2nd right in tanzania was copied by the 3rd right, lead by the nazis in order to extra pay the be bows of europe. the i watching is why isn't why in this call, but if i give but plenty of the store in this shed and i shall phenomenon just the last name, scare me. and when i am, what are your desktop session? let's just sean your. just a new fund, you bought new brand new settlements in the the media the,

the, the situation clearly indicates that the pro war camp in europe is still very, very strong. foreign minister, saturday elaborate says there is no western appetite for peace in ukraine. after it leaked cold between the top and german generals revealed their plan to bump russia's crimean bridge. the kind was yeah, hot, it doesn't matter. we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us part of the conflict. this is a temporary refuge for those people who are evacuated from the town of dave kind of far away from them. that's at the moment. this temper, ricky g center houses at least 40 different people thousands of civilians, a say.
