3:30 pm
in government last month, but refuse to do so which has sparked civilian outrage. recently he agreed to hold a general elections next year and he hastened say they can no longer tolerate the uncertainty of the situation. i find myself dragging my things through the street. the prime minister has to do so. you must give us a chance to live in peace. i'm 62 and i can take it any more. i'd like to take care of my family, but i can't do it anymore. i can't even go home. i'm waiting on the street. so the situation is becoming catastrophic. i've been here since 1986 and it's never been like this. we're surrounded on all sides. it's upsetting haiti is the most impoverished the nation in the western hemisphere. it has long suffered from gang violence amid the economic and security. according to you and estimates, 314000 people in the island nation are considered displaced. about 5 and a half 1000000 residents are in need of humanitarian assistance. we heard from
3:31 pm
journalist kim arms who specializes in haitian issues. it says canyon forces, backed by washington, would bring little good to the struggling nation. a hi court in 10 years has said that it is illegal, it is unconstitutional for the police be said. but um, just like the us and israel arriving roughshod over the world court decision against israel's genocide in the house on the us and kenya are running rough shot over the hard course of 10 years decision and are planning to deploy the troops any way the us they want to call on groups and 80 gauge. in fact, the, there are, i could say, neighborhood protection groups vigilante groups if you will, which are tried texting. keep crying out of their neighborhoods versus criminal gage plus the fact bringing a 1000 canyon cups. he
3:32 pm
a countries they don't even speak the language is just a recipe for disaster. and this is not a force that is under the ages of the un security council. it has simply been deputized by the un security council. both russia and china abstain from that vote . so it's basically an us sponsored force mercenary force, i could say to come in and try to quell the rebellion of agency. heidi is saying that several us interventions with the largest and longest one last thing, almost 2 decades. washington has claimed its involved and it was crucial to securing peace and political stability in the caribbean country. but it seems to have made things worse. here's how the situation unfolded. the
3:33 pm
earlier we spoke to eric teresa, rapid response officer and head of programs that the collect, the social justice center. he criticized kenya's plans to send
3:34 pm
a 1000 police officers to haiti saying with so many challenges the country's government should put the interest of 10 and people above international issues that is made for us as a country to reorganize to look at the issues affecting kenya and address, we are quite literally a little telling just as a country to libraries. so the basically this report for this country i can, yep. and they have to be, ah, seems to me to be disposed to, out to the needs of but it's people other than, you know, looking at the international uh, the pretty much the list of all but, you know, deployed police officers to agent. we have limited number of resources, so resources of the country. i was basically saying, no, can you raise a poor country? doesn't top that is also uh that is your, oh, but the people to believe this just a let you know, a serious issue. we need to
3:35 pm
a blame of a police officer to products as a god. it's just holes. it's gets people. so it doesn't make sense for a country like tenure to say i will actually make it then you do as a to deploy more than 1000 police officers page. it's a very serious issue. and i think the latest really does need to of course the, the, the disease or that they've done on the porch, the, if this focus people, kenya, flux, either then, you know, at 1st thing i need to match the agenda. instead of addressing each on each, i know issues as a country. do you stay with r t up next on direct impact? rick sanchez, discusses with his guess the southern illness and temporary absence of us secretary of defense, lloyd austin. bye a, a a.
3:36 pm
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. missed 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
3:37 pm
warren defense goes to the hospital and he doesn't tell anybody. but 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 it's 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 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. he 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
3:38 pm
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 a white house, but this is where the store 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 to 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 buttons 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.
3:39 pm
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. where 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 to handle any sick or when he's down here. but what we are saying, and i think needs to be said,
3:40 pm
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 bump, right? he 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
3:41 pm
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 the 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, 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 the department and to lead our great service members and civilians and accomplishing my mission of ensuring
3:42 pm
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. 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, and the people around him, the 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 to 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 at the same people. busy who set our foreign policy in this country come from institutions that benefit from those
3:43 pm
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 the china policy, his corporate better factors, the colon group, campbell, he's on the national security council. his corporate died, the age of group, tom donald and also from 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. there's when the sherman state department or business dies albright stonebridge jake, solve a mr. by the national security advisor is corporate collection, macro advisory. there they are. so what about lloyd austin? well, i gotta tell you, 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 barton austin worked together with the us
3:44 pm
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, 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 in a mansion right on the ocean and a place called kyle island in south carolina and iowa. and he's worth more than $7000000.00. so when we come back, i'm going to 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
3:45 pm
circumstances. and what it really means don't go away, it will be right back 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 lunacy re washington press for. 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 close 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
3:46 pm
on the bottom 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, sensitive, interesting. i listened to 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 us out. and 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,
3:47 pm
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. 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 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 moved, of course to prostate surgery, possibly. so we've,
3:48 pm
the story is been evolving and i think in law, what did they call that? a creeping admission. i want to watch the biggest sitting 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 bleak and has the lead on national security and foreign policy as does jake sullivan. so that's fascinating. you're saying 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 know what the sense of the senate days. well here's what,
3:49 pm
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 states that there is foundational lead a group of people within our 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 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 biden doesn't, is out of it any way. and they, they shelter him a lot so that makes it and, and,
3:50 pm
and he's not even in control. so it's other people who are really calling the shot . well, and government, 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 asking in the form of a question to you, have they 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
3:51 pm
entity you can kind of, i'm a 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, 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 that don't give you that, i'm not a communist here. i'm not saying it doesn't deserve to make money. what 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 fab, but the but then it goes back to the technician. here's the 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
3:52 pm
a great job. but then also the go from ibm back to the white house. who do you think he's going to take care of idea of ultimately or raytheon? yeah, he's looking out for great. so yeah, 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, of everything we're talking about, right? 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 colin powell 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,
3:53 pm
this is the unfortunate what your point is, what that, that, that it's worse now actually worse, but it, 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's solve the exit of the united states military, out of your rock that, that introduce isis. and with all due 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 t, 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,
3:54 pm
you know, the or uh, you know, somebody's wife or daughter or you actually hold the position. that's where the money is. yeah. 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 being vice president to get jobs and be paid and stuff. and whenever i hear that argument, i think who 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 suffers from that. whatever the case. yeah. he's watch 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 sullivan and, and wendy williams, our, i'm sorry, wendy sherman. it's the m m and the people who did it with the exactly the same.
3:55 pm
and so they have to protect him because that's how they're all feeling there by everyone who was 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 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, is 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 doesn't. oh, it was it. what am i doing? oh yes ma'am, 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 but, but, but this is not, i don't want to turn to show it to another 100 biden. is it good or bad? is obviously the guys you know, crockett, among other things and problematic. my question is he was an instrument, he's
3:56 pm
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 hot in 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 in these think tanks are funded by the military industrial complex. and they know this and 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 to and dollars they were in tax benefit from what we're doing a new claim, for example, that's the problem, you know, if they were just making money and it was a bank or something, but lives get lost, prepaid di money is spent. screens don't get new books or whatever it is, because we got a $125000000000.00 a new credit. and another 3 or $4000000000.00 going every data to the cause, a situation at another 7 or $8000000000.00 going to uh, to, to taiwan. and that's, and they're getting the problem. is that how it works?
3:57 pm
sure. ultimate, i mean, indirectly, indirectly, indirectly plus the influence, it's the influx 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 you know you were in the punitive, 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 or lead the capitalism run. a mock? no, you haven't, you haven't even, you know, crony capitalism as opposed. i'm off for a capital as your capital, as we all, you know, i don't like my margin way over here, marginally good. 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 where entire starts to take over. and the important thing is to maintain the empire, where the ruling elite filled their pockets. and now we have to be the working
3:58 pm
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 words. 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, and the nfl, this is 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, from kind of a 120000000 of it. and by 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
3:59 pm
of our vision here at simple really. i want to be silo, the world kind of stop lemming and some boxes, you know, troops don't live in boxes, they're everywhere, unrestrained chest and i'll be looking for you again right here, where i hope to give you a direct impact the the take a fresh look around his life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by tell us to do vision with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as 1st? can you see through their illusion going underground?
4:00 pm
can the the situation clearly indicates the pro war kemp in europe is still very, very strong. foreign minister, a circuit live, rob says there is no western appetite for peace and you frame after a link paul between top german generals from build their plan to bomb it, rushes prime in branch plus the kind with us. yeah. hot. it doesn't matter. we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that wouldn't make us part of the conflict. this is a temporary refuge for those people who are evacuated from the town of the days. come those far away from the nets at the moment. this temper, ricky g center houses, at least 40 different people. thousands of civilians are safely evacuated from of the sky, recently fried by russian troops for making for.
