11:30 am
tony or a division about like, you know, that there's been an educated inspect, which we really need to look into the, the extra process that took place at the time. now if the constitutional focused on allows a process, there is a clear understanding of how the process has to take place. and effective process has taken place without any problems or skipping of any constitutional steps. then it has to be accepted that it was plan rewarded, but people can people and seeing that, you know, they, what the experience of and even in american presidential elections, we get a hold. it depends um, as a student, trump steinman, we had also invested into credited to the american the election so so, so this, so you know, there's this drum god all saying that there's been any interference. this gives the way too much. all could i do to, to, to do the adversities on or to the other party which might not has the had a lot of money to feed is what is i speaking to today?
11:31 am
it's great to have for me 5 out of your cape for moment and stuff, a social welfare as women development. and as that john new, i'm tash, may thank you as like you for joining us here on all the international plants people up there is to be found on a website all the dot com that was more than 30 minutes. the driver, buddy remote borrowing holidays and occasional family days. we now post to show every single day, not weekly. we are now daily, so make sure you look for us truth pump number one. yes, p one and he one big but for some reason that is making the western media absolutely. and sort of fi i believe, because there are goals, we're going to show it to you coupon number 2, the f b,
11:32 am
i admits the old tick tock square is mostly conjecture as in what a quote uh sure. uh, do they mean that somebody is just making some of that stuff up? home? truth on number 3, at least one country and out for guys just told our u. s. military our u. s. military to get out. who did that? which country and why we're going to tell you i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. the this is a seismic event in global politics. bottom are put this victory in the russian presidential election wasn't just a when it was a land slide. mr. potent has secured another 6 year term is russia's president solidifying his grip on power for the foreseeable future. this when, by a whopping 87 percent, that's a big number, which naturally makes want to ask,
11:33 am
is he really favored by that many russians, as i think you know what, that's a fair question. so let's check the numbers. and the only way to really do that is, is to look at what legitimate poles have been taken. right? real polls, what, what did the p, in other words, what did the people of russia say before the election? okay, here it is. we've got a graphic for you. take a look at this graphic. this is from a statistic, one of the most respected worldwide researchers and page stores. they conducted their poll in russia in february of 2024 month ago. and it found 8 of 10 russians approve of mr. payton. they seem to think that he's doing a good job and inside his like abilities, the number of people like him has gone up by 9 percentage points over the past 2 years. now, obviously, if you live in a western country,
11:34 am
and you may be hearing the sound of my voice right now, say you're in europe or something, or let's say you were in north america or united states had come right next to the us capital here. you're probably saying watch really why? because the only thing that you ever hear about putting comes in the form of a study type of negative stories like he's citing or something. so let me remind you one more time because i know what you're thinking. that poll that i just mentioned, it was not conducted by russians that paul was not conduction by the kremlin. it wasn't conducted by mister putin's campaign team. it was conducted inside russia by one of the most trusted global posters. that is based by the way, in germany, not russia. of course, that poll doesn't even get mentioned in western media. why would they write this?
11:35 am
what you're about to see here is how they covered mr buttons with the outcome was never in doubt this way been an election, but it certainly wasn't a contest. it was stage managed the crime and controls absolutely everything including the elections. so what's the point of them? i mean, i gotta tell you, i was watching television. that was all day long, every channel everywhere. so they were his parent goal about this. and you'll notice as you watch most of those and we could go on forever, but it would get boring because they basically all saying the same thing as you'll watch those reports to is when is presented as cheated. by all of that, he's accused of authoritarianism. he's accused of electoral manipulation. so let's talk about those 2 things. what do you say? what do you say we start with? so let's pick the electoral manipulation. fact, when our now president joe biden was running for office in 2020,
11:36 am
he wasn't considered to be a top candidate. you probably remember that maybe you don't. i certainly do. he was getting crushed in the debates. any way behind bernie sanders and behind elizabeth worn and behind the boat, a judge. but then, you know, a funny thing happens. so the democratic party gets together all the officials kinda pull a fast one. so they consolidated. we try it again. they consolidated the pledge delegates kind of played with the numbers to stack them up just right. then the party apparatus went out to people like people to judge, for example, who was the time or popular the mr button. and they got him to quit the rates. they've got to get out and endorse by essentially turn over all his delegates to buy and then oh, what a surprise, what a judge ends up with
11:37 am
a big job and the bite and cabinet used to be the mayor of a small town. now he's a cabinet member. i wonder how that happened. now you want to talk about authoritarian is just fine. we can go there to, let's talk about the republican party that you know what happens there. it's pretty simple. and here, republican elected official, and you criticized donald trump right now in america. you go out and you put aside donald trump, you're elected official, a new republican. you know what happens pretty much by 1st trump goes after you. and what he's going to say about you a pretty, i mean this guy, he plays for kate. right. and then his talk radio and his conservative media base goes on the attack and they let everyone in the audience know that you are not loyal to donald trump. it after that you're done or worse. what does that sound like? 3rd period isn't me. see, i don't make these point because i'm trying to take sides with either biden or trump, this. it doesn't matter who you like row, you don't like. i simply think that the,
11:38 am
if we're going to be throwing stones at somebody else as a so called electoral manipulation and authoritarianism, then maybe what we 1st should do is board up our glass house. what do you say? by the way, if your show, if we are so damn determined right now, to be the electoral police of the world and judge who are the good democratic leaders and who are the bad democratic leaders and who has chosen correctly and who is not chosen correctly. then, you know, we may also want to do was thinking about this, we may want to take a better look at some of those people that we call the good ones. i'm going to give you an example to see that dude right there. that's the egyptian president of dell's pie, l. c. c. the very people who call out president put in question, here's electability, did something very interesting this weekend. 6 of them including are sort of on there. like in the present of the european commission. they went to egypt to break
11:39 am
bread with mister c. c. they were there giving him ceasing 7400000000 euros, 7400000000 with a be help egypt, the economy. in other words, they got his back, they're gonna take care of it. they like their friends, but here's what they may be conveniently forgot that you need to know about cc. as recently as 2014 egypt had a democratically elected president. that guy's name was mohammed morsey. suddenly he got, he's ousted, he's replaced with stacy who somehow gets 97. let me say that again. 97 percent of the vote. 97 percent. now isn't that interesting? think about it. winning almost all of the votes in the case of egypt did not set off any dictate or alarm bells throughout europe or the united states or the media . nor has it prevented close to military and economic ties with the country. but when it comes to russia,
11:40 am
it's just the opposite. i'm not trying to judge one side or another. i'm just telling you what it's like. so, let's talk about this. i want to break it down now with steve go, he's in moscow where he served as a, an election observer. and we're also joined by elijah magneer, who is a veteran war correspondent and a journalist. steve, you're there in moscow. you saw things for yourself. so i'm gonna start with you by the way, i want to show you some video. this is almost laughable, but there's all this video out on the internet. i don't know if you've had a chance to see some of it. you probably haven't because you're there. but uh, i don't know if we have that. if you can see, if you can put that up, it shows people who are uh, election officials, soldiers for example, who are going behind the curtain with like with machine guns too. apparently checking to see how people are voting, and they're apparently there to intimidate voters, etc, etc. now, i gotta tell you,
11:41 am
i've been looking at some of these pictures and they looked like their doctor. they looked like the fact, but there appeared all over the internet. so i'm just showing that, showing them for the reason that you're there. did you see anything like that? can you confirm anything like that? or what did you see while you were monitoring the elections there in russia? and i saw the exact opposite of that. that's not real, that's fake. i was in uh don bass and don't ask in mary opal in september for referendums where they were voting for the 1st time for members of congress to go represent them in the do by the congress in moscow and in their local officials. people were bringing their kids, there was no intimidation, and that was near the war zone. this time i was in a place called tamara. it's a of a providence of about 2000000 people tomorrow. the city is the capital of about a 1000000. and again, people were bringing their kids, they weren't coming in at gunpoint, there was no intimidation. there were some police officials that most following places like they are in the united states. they're for protection and to provide
11:42 am
some measure of security. but there was no intimidation, in fact people works, thrilled and excited to vote. i had one guy because i asked him, i said, why are you turning out what it's clear put is going to win. and he said, it is my patriotic duty as a russian to vote to exercise my civic duty. and i support what president clinton is doing. and my vote for him is like shaking his hand and saying, thank you, keep it up. it was not a civil election where you're choosing left to right. it was a full speed ahead because the economy is booming. despite the sanctions. 2.6 percent ged page 7 percent inflation with sanctions. and the rest of the people are saying, stay the course. sounds like you're doing a commercial now for the russian government. it does sound good, i understand. but i have to ask you some of the top questions, the co workers, did you see them leaning towards who did you see them helping people at any time? you know, on the contrary, there was one elderly gentleman who actually complains that just because he didn't
11:43 am
bring his glasses, he couldn't read the the ballot, the the paper ballot. and one of the co worker says, i cannot tell you. i cannot point to which name you're asking for, asked another boat or, or go in there and do your best. they are meticulous about doing that. and keep in mind that they have video cameras in every precinct where in tomorrow there's a whole bag of these camera views that people can be reviewing as it's happening. live stream views for the 3 days that people are voting. and during the count and the same things happening at tens of thousands of precincts across brush or 11 different time zones, everything is available for people to see in real time, including people at home. they can go online and watch any pre sites across the account. that's fascinating, and i have to ask you the final question, just to be fair of a journalist that i have to ask this question, did you see people who were a gets put in, who tried to get into public places or were somehow denied or were told about the vote or did you see any kind of the opposition, for example,
11:44 am
and how were they treated? you know, in this thing they have the day of silence the day before the 3 day voting theory starts. so television commercials, radio, spot, stuff, which i've been involved in politics and so i was about 12 and i'm looking at the whole time. but how would i cheat? is it possible to cheat? i gotta tell you, i can't see a way. but more importantly, there were opposition candidates. one of them was a man named slootsky. it's one of the larger opposition parties. i actually was with his chief deputy last night and i asked him what, what's next for mr. slootsky? they were not claiming that there was pressure, they rely, objected to the result, and they got stuck between them about 1011 percent. there were opponents, but you're not going to run successfully against the guy that a the people are surrounding and wanting to, to back in carpenters or countries under attack. and 2nd, which was the economies that people are not going to vote against their own interests. and these other guys were legitimate candidates. the communist party got about the lowest level. they've got this years elijah,
11:45 am
let me bring you into this conversation. i find it fascinating how the u. s. media and other western media around the world. treating the story. it's almost like, i mean, 87 percent. that's a pretty big knot. i can see if it was a 1640 your be even something smaller than that, but they have been they have almost been absolute in their determination to tell the world that there is no way that putting could have won this unless you cheated . what do you make of that? what, or actually what is the difference in the election and russia is because the model is new to the, to the west and what? and what i mean by a new model is if we take and the boss, for example, after the 2nd world war at the turn out in general.
11:46 am
and the frame general was responsible for the, the resistance a day, a shuttle to good fade in the presidential election because after the war, people, one can you faces. if we take the you run your rock goal, for example, president hygiene, they're sen johnny, also say, but that is due today, failure of boosting the economy because the economy was doing very bad in the russia is completely different. we have the president who won the war on the crane, who managed to gain to treat whole 9 east to defend direction in ukraine. and then he boosted the economy and i called the other countries in the west will have a very high installation and doing a bad leading the economy and the suffering from the consequences of the war. so the combination of a winning militarily boosting the electra, the economy,
11:47 am
and also the dignity of direct some people. it is what gave the vote to president booth and pop and for him to get the 87 percent. how much of this is historical? how much of this has to do? i'm, i'm, let's think back now. i know we as westerners, we can never think of history. we, we think history began this morning when we woke up. but the russian experience has been one where post world war 2. russians have generally felt like they've lost some of their standing. and there's this uh, narrative that exists so that they feel like poor who has given them back. that very thing that they felt they lost, which is why the page show that is, numbers are actually going up. i want to ask you about that because i think that that historical determinative is important. on this day, we're going to take a quick break. we're going to talk about that. i'm also going to tell you about
11:48 am
something else that's going on with tick tock or some intelligence officials have not come out. and they've said much of what we're talking about with the talk is conjecture. we'll talk about that as well. stay right there will be right the, [000:00:00;00] the the same wrong just don't have to shape house because the after
11:49 am
and engagement equals the trails. when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground the, let's get back to that. i'm so glad you're back. i'm are to inches, it's a direct impact elijah, i want to bring you back in because i wanted to ask that question. as i was hearing you speak, i was thinking about this. it's a narrative that most people in the world don't understand, but it's uniquely russian. it's a narrative that say. busy is something like post gorbachev, post yeltsin, we kind of lost our way we didn't, we weren't considered or we didn't feel like we were that country again. that was one of the most important countries in the world. and it's been a very important part of europe. how important is that narrative? can you take us through that?
11:50 am
i would say the a and the west to understand the culture of other populations that to the fadia of the for was that the americans and nature and i have conducted in i've gotten this done in the rock in syria, maybe a every way and the culture that we praise and all the russian people of dignity. but this time it is not only about dignity, it's the, the victory of president food in is talking to different people, different volts of the society that look at price, dignity loyal victory and also pragmatic aspect. so that the pride of the russian people to hear that the west has got the which 15 nations in germany to defeat russia. and to break the russian economy. and to spend against
11:51 am
a superpower that credit and put in mileage off to president jensen. and before him go, but you have to bring back the russia to the left, the office, super pilot and seek the friendship of the waste on equal bases. we see how the west, since the war in syria and 2015 tons of bad on russia and decided that to us i should not be left some and should not mean to the level of a supervisor. again, that dignity when the russian people heard about how the west is gathered to the feet, russia, and put the mileage to when the war and stand up to the strongest armies in the what gather to the fee structure and put the managing to do that with a good economy because this is way, i think they're still heading to the broad market correction. now this combination managed to bring the front didn't put into bala with this percentage with his high
11:52 am
percentage. so now like there's no surprising for the west to spend the guess these result i've been in the election and been it's way that and i, so when president my daughter was elected in the house, the west already gave the result before the election that they would not recognize it because he is not part of the west thing club. so that is very obvious the reaction of the way today. i think the word if we were to choose the word the, the word that fits what is now in the russian sold. it may not have been there somewhere i knew was a narrative is pride. i think it's pride and i think pride is important for all peoples of the world. i want to change the subject. i want you guys with something on tick tock. here we go. tick tock up. well, apparently you heard the accusations coming mostly from the old middle aged man and women in congress seem to believe the tech talk like the beatles and rock and roll music will destroy their world. so. so what's the deal here?
11:53 am
well, at the core of all of this is the fear, the tick tock, chinese parent company by dance will undermine those by collecting and then sharing our secrets and spying on us. and so it goes to what we're doing is changing our chef and removing a provision that concerns us as the chinese communist party could potentially request as a top is used as a new source by huge numbers of young people. we really want in the age of a i 6 that kind of power given to an adversarial nation. yeah. all those young people spoken as a man who probably. busy didn't even know how to use his own e mail. you notice that they say it all about what could happen, what might happen not what actually has happened. well, let me tell you about something that actually did happen according to a report. in intercept us intelligence has produced no evidence that the popular social media side has ever coordinated anything with beijing. the fact that that
11:54 am
hasn't stopped many in congress or even president joe biden from touting legislation that would force the sale of the app. but most intelligence reports say, most of the accusations for tat presented so far is being done. so in the form of hypotheticals, in other words, what china might do in the future, what china possibly could do that is what they're saying right now about tick tock . let me stop right there and ask you guys, see, let me go to you. what do you think is behind this whole take docs? year for the 1st fall, i'm devastated that my dance reels may somehow be blocked and people won't be able to see the 2nd. these are the intelligent sites, is these are the f b i to see i and others who, who told us just before super tuesday, that the russians might put nukes in space, no evidence that they were no evidence that it was planned. it hasn't been done. but again, there was a scam people to doing whatever it is they want them to do the same thing with this tech talk fee or as you point out,
11:55 am
there's no basis for it other than to create the climate of fear to drive people in the direction that unfortunately, they want to drive a st. one intelligence officials. there's a because it's mostly conjecture. we got a problem. all right, now watch this a lot because i need to go see the us presence on the territory. the republic of nisha is illegal and violates all the constitutional and democratic rules which would require the suffering people. in particular, stewards elected representative to be consulted on the installation of a foreign on the, on his toe tree. that is a spokesperson for the new military government in new cher, essentially telling us the us that he wants us out of his west african country. he is ending the military cooperation agreement with the united states. the state department, the u. s. has had a lease on his territory and this year which is essentially a drawing based right. but there's your leaders are now saying we use this taking advantage of that opportunity and that hospitality. apparently and according to the sources that the u. s. gave new share government on ultimate them that it most cut its ties to other nations. for example,
11:56 am
russia and the rom this year feels about might be a bridge too far. and those now told us it's they who have to leave elijah, let me throw that one to you. what's going on in africa where perhaps and maybe i'm overstating this. our own country is losing emphasis. losing control and other countries like russia are gaining. this is the result of the war and ukraine. they said you would, that these are rising today, everywhere in west asia, in asia, in the middle east, in africa, and in south america. so, and before the united states, friends was kicked out of book, you know, 52 mining and yet, and now the weston tape for christie and douglas tend to a so expose with the war on god that the word, the seeing how button the button is the west and how that was done that the west is beating with the rest of the world. yeah,
11:57 am
this is why immediate is coming out and saying to the americans, we don't want to and we can live without you. and we can have friends on equal basis. but it's not my so to say basic, i wonder where it's used to deal with the one wonders how many other countries might come out in the set do the same thing, steve, elijah, you guys have been great guess. thanks so much for all your wisdom and for sharing your ideas and stay safe there. uh the steve, go and enjoy yourself. and if you do have an adult beverage have one for me, before we go, i want to remind you of our mission is simple really. i wanted to silo the world. we've gotta stop living in these little boxes truths. don't live in boxes are everywhere. i'm rick sanchez and i'll be looking for you again right here for it's time to provide a direct impact. the
11:58 am
take a fresh look around is life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division 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 to this 1st? can you see through their illusion going underground, can the cheer clinic basically did even if the pd, what's the story? ok. school level, the use of solutions, stuff that you see to shifting each look forward to each time she couldn't remember what collected stupid to photocopy, slipped to discuss. the dizzy on this before they have to do is to make sure that
11:59 am
you create, excuse that idea. and useless, historical stories of disposable cleaning. some the doors not say that the which is done. conflicting the website by blushing and centuries ago. your 4 bears name this country ukraine or frontier because you're steps, blink, europe, and asia, the ukrainians, that become frontiersman of another story. the people who will be able to sing the songs, whichever hides most of them there's always, you know, going to jump to the most goals and would have been there like a lot of the heavily visitors coleman joe point on the post. okay. skip to suck you the,
12:00 pm
we'll have to upgrade the stuff on the the, the damage will be inevitable. mosca was, if we had cautions this a, you moles, i'd be using 90 percent of the revenue. and on pros of the russian assets as it is, funding posts for ukrainians, conflict and conflicting statements coming out of the us as washington stays, the protection of the city and civilians must be a priority toilet continues to support, as well as on selling more income. so this, our china launch is also the us, the backing the facilities and a mattress fund dispute between manila, i'm stating the problem is contradicts washington's officials, south china,
