there on safe job mattress that allows it to use the country has already organized such a large scale used forums 3 times. and each time they have confirmed that there are no borders or dividing lines for the younger generations. you will communicate with whomever you want. you will get the knowledge and experience you need. this was shown by the hundreds of thousands of applications for participation in the festival that came to us from 190 countries. the only thing we regret is that we couldn't accept everyone. now representatives of almost 300 different peoples have gathered in the serena, we in russia know very well what a wealth such diversity is. what a powerful charge of positive development and mutual enrichment it possesses. we must unite to realize our dreams together to help each other make the lives of millions of people better, to work together for the sake of future generations to fight poverty and terrorism to preserve unique natural resources. cultural heritage. the beauty and diversity of the planet itself, in such a world, there is no place for racism. dict,

at double standards or lies, and the people are free to speak their own language to follow the faith and traditions of their ancestors. now you are the young generation, you dream of what a safe and just world can and should be what it is up to you to create it or any of what heard from some of it and things they asked think festival go as as they arrived at the international airport in nearby searching. this is my to show. so i am and that i see many people and it looks like a cool opportunity to meet people from all around the world. i think participants are coming from around a 182 countries or something like this. so i've never had an opportunity to potentially talk to people from everyone in the world, in the span of a week. so that's why i'm here. it's a very agreed on that and

a few minutes for me to be part of this ask you a lot and i'm so happy that i got set an opportunity to be here. and uh, i'm going to run the boat in so many days and i'm so happy to be that i shouldn't be. but other than that, one of us for the, the fine, how they have, you know, me with this back to us and exactly to on what sources offering, use some different countries. this cultural event is very important and we're going to understand which other to know what really our show is what 3 other cultures are . not just a believe what may be mainstream media says we have a real chance here to learn more about to our side, to learn more about other countries in the current world infinity. first century. it's really important to talk to be in touch with other cultures to come from. people are all around the world. and i think this is a perfect chance to, for young people to get to know each other and to build bridges that will help them in the future to understand each other better. we're so happy to be here to

participate on that. well, you 1st of all 2024, and of course we only have to say the same as rush have for this participation. and of course, we have to say we witness what will the world use festival is getting underway here. and this enormous building that i'm in is where the main parts of the facilities are expected to take place has been called the world youth city. and as you can see behind me, this is a facade that resembles an airport date there. and that's because this is near the main entrance, which has been decorated in the style of an airport. because this is where the expected $20000.00 participants are going to arrive, half of them being from around russia and the other half being from around other parts of the world. and that number is even really dwarfed by the over 300000 applications. there were to participate in this momentous event in terms of what's expected to take place here. the main events are going to be on the main square of

the world. you city, where we're expecting to see some lectures, discussions, sporting activities, and an entire cultural program. now we were even lucky enough to be joined on this live report by the mascot of the world youth festival. it's name is chip with oscar . this is a childhood, uh cartoon character icon for millions of soviet people and russian people, as well as a symbol of kindness and friendship and openness, which is really a part of the main point of this entire world. you 1st of all, which is to bring the active young people from across the world into one place where they can make connections and work towards a future world order based on when, when cooperation and fairness not one that's based on the hedge, a monic, domination of one power over the rest of the global community. so for russia, this is really an honor to have such an event here on russian soil. and we're looking to see a lot of exciting events in the coming days. we spoke with daniel,

who go santo's, head of the philippines, dedication at the festival. he set the festival as a good opportunity for young people from around the world to share their ideas and experiences. this is a very important event because of youth and non you'd have to connect globally and connect in different ways, not just political and economic will true education and many more fields. it is a perfect platform for us to connect with each other and united with each other and to share some culture, something dvds and share some insights. so it is a step forward to build our relations. and we're hoping for more than i think in the previous future games had in design were one of the biggest navigators there. so with the philippines and russia, relationships are getting better every year with more cultural experience. but with the west, it's getting harder for us in terms of business cross cultural diplomacy. and of course we have a huge labor force is being affected because of these sanctions in wars. and of

course, as you know in the south, china seems a big issue. so we have to do everything with diplomacy, quote, for an exchange. that is, this is what we call a self diplomacy. and this is a way forward to biological releasing relationships unit, laterally and by lot really. that's all from me, my colleague, rachel global is at the top of the hour with the latest i'm. they show a josh of next is direct impact. so with us, the 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 new should be honest. 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 and ministration scribe something that should have been so easy wasn't tell us. so our nation, the most important advisor on all matters related to war and defense goes to the hospital and he doesn't tell anybody. but 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 all white, who by the way, also happens to be engaged right now. and in active military conflicts in the middle east. what is turning into a disastrous intervention in, in ukraine, as well as the accusations of bathing china through military exercises right off the coast of taiwan. so yes, with all of that going on, it's expected and a 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 national security council. he's the secretary of defense, and now it could have been no big deal because he went to the hospital one day for something dean didn't tell anybody. 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 her what else. but this is where the story contents 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 it 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 war, 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. where do you know like a child plays with the laptop? and 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, well he battles what could be horribly and serious disease. so we're not trying to pick on him and 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? he said, she said the republican, the democrat, by my boss, right? usually what they, they don't ask the right questions. you know, it might take us on this. i don't think this is just the story about some elderly president who wasn't communicating and didn't know what was going on with a member of his cabinet. i think what their lack of communication tells me 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. 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, you're a 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 their 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, with 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 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. here we go. nicholas burns, in charge of the 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 offer, among other things, access to government leaders. they say like president biden, or 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 kyle island and south carolina and island. 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 handled that. it's going to be funny to fascinating to listen to and we're going to be joined by these 2 guys. gone and mix it and micro 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 fully need to be do need is long term committed to most of the relationship between the motor and to the west and the new crane and bustling so involved in taking sides that they need some tightening signs and culprits,

which is actually one of the big problems that we face in terms of our credibility is some, some national kind of took too much the the, i bought them 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. hey, listen the how they tried 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? like some sirens, we're trying to remain not a little settled. yeah. i understand. yeah. usually when they turn into a residential neighborhood they'll turn them off to get reporting and 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 anything like that. and 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. 2 when i start with you, does the president deserve to be criticized for this whole thing? 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 oftentimes,

none of them is true. we were originally told that it was elective surgery. we were told that no anastasia was used, which would mix 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 the, his defense chief and highest in higher 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 worked together. yes. in the corporate. what? yes. but it's in the administration, blake,

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 really, but he's, but he's the 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. 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 that i'm not going to call at the beach state, that there is foundation only a group of people within our government who make decisions who have not elected positions, what 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 they're proxies are sitting right there in those positions of the administration. they're re

representing the corporate people and, and all the others you listed earlier and their, and their view points. and the biden 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 gordon, here's where it gets interesting. i, i agree that in the case of bite and 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. have they've been doing that work around through bush and obama and, and 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, but said people in the pentagon and 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 me. he may actually say like, like, let's not go to war with some one or something like that. yeah. so if there is an entity, you can kind of bother to, right? 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 here. a military guy right doesn't bother you that this general suddenly shows up in kyra our island, living on a private island on a mansion. and there's 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 get me the, 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 defect, but the but then it goes back to the technician. here's a problem. yes, he's fine. i'm no longer a military person. i no longer work in the government. i go to work at ibm and i get a great job at that office that he goes for my be and back to the white house to do you think he's going to take care of idea of ultimately or raytheon? yeah, he's looking out for gracie on. i mean, that's why we have 2 wars. one of these worst s 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 for

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 into 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 probably own trustees and you're saying are so it's not, no rush. so now he's the guy who saw 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 the game now,

in fluid i have influence. i can market that influence 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, your, uh, you know, somebody's wife or daughter or you actually hold the position. that's where the money is. yeah, 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 dad big vice president to get jobs and be paid and stuff. and whenever i hear that argument, i think who wouldn't do that, right? is that a problem 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 bought it 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, and sullivan and, and wendy williams, our, i'm sorry, wendy sherman and the people who did it with a faculty the same. and so they have to protect him because that's how they're all feeling there by everyone who is in power 20 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 edit. 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 it. 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 and that's what he's, that's why they have this congressional hearings now because how do i wasn't, it wasn't what am i doing? oh yes ma'am, do all these people in the bottom of the street is 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 bud, but this is not, i don't want to turn the show into 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. you're going to keep track of the right. he's an expression of the problem. yeah. this is what they're all doing. you can see it blatantly and 100 a 100 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, that when they leave, they will go right back to think tanks and they will be financially rewarded for the contracts that they were able and dollars they were in tax benefit from what we're doing a new claim, for example. that's the problem. yeah, they 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 a new crime. and another 3 or 4000000000 going every day to, to the cause a situation and another 7 or 8000000000 going to uh, to, to dialogue. and that's, and they're getting the problem. is that how it works? sure. ultimate, i mean, indirectly, indirectly, indirectly plus the influence, it's the inflows to the present in 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 you and your work that you know you were in the pen of the worst i've ever seen it. do you think the situation has gotten worse? definitely, and you can simply just see the unraveling of our government and the lack of legitimacy of the ruling elite, the city capitalism run a mock. no, you haven't, you haven't even, you know, crony capitalism as opposed. i'm off for a capitalist, your capital us. we all, you know, i don't like my margin the way over here, marginally, the but you know, but yeah, just like 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 weird, 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 officials, your get the final words and it is what our congress is a blatant example of the constantly and we haven't even talked about that. and so it's, it's in, into, of the 3 of our branches of government and, and this, and it comes out of control. 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 from kind of 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 our on radio spot back. he has me on as a guest from time to time. i hope he has me back to 4 weeks ago. i want to remind you of our vision here at simple really i want to be silo. the world kind of stop living in the boxes, you know, troops don't live in boxes, they're everywhere, unrestrained chests. and i'll be looking for you again right here, where i hope to give you a direct impact. the a, a the, [000:00:00;00]

the situation clearly indicates that forward kemp in europe is still there, very strong. foreign minister or 2nd law problem says there is no western appetite for peace. any frame after a linked call between top and german generals revealed their plan to bomb russia and try me enbridge kind windows. 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 weighted from the town of days kind of far away from the nets at the moment. so this temporary refugee censored houses at least 40 different people to thousands of civilians are safely evacuated from of
