corporate are being brought up with outrage with protests against israel, the bombing of gaza growing around the world with encampments and demonstrations happening on an almost daily basis. reflecting what is majority sentiment around the world. at this point, american officials are having to unexpectedly rework their scripts about protests and human rights and no press. every game. looks like they're getting a little bit of their own madison time to wake up and smell the ashes. taylor mauppin, archie, new york, and an exclusive interview. we spoke with the policy number of the 2. indeed, he believes that everyone is sure to follow the example of the magazine student boat as a rise up against the west support phase. though, we believe that a new generation and we believe everywhere. now, see the background for countries have been you know,

the uprising against the policy. my phone is really even european as well as united states. see what's happening and successful. diversity of texas mission, yahoo, he gave a speech us. so they about that every month. this photo in the automatic the automatic so now things have been completely change or qantas stopping, changing the policy. because once they have seen the grow, i guess by the seen on, no one can believe. so trust me, you know, own generation or university is there were no way that should be not that not to be silent. maybe there are some companies as then silent. mustangs, i thing so many changes will be there. well,

that was a short exit from the interview with the past in the past, so they can watch the full lessons throughout the day. here on off the international mx direct impacts with rick sanchez and we will be back to the top of the the the power body program. no, we not post to show every single day used to be weekly. we continue to be daily because you requested it. maybe it's because we hold no punches, so look for it. truth from number one. how one man who was cheated out of the us presidency could have completely changed the world truth from number 2. why the man to replace them was simply not ready for prime time. you get it not ready for

the job or the moment? truth, palm number 3, us russia relations. who destroyed it? how did they get this drawing and why? i'm rick sanchez. and this is direct impact the in the special report i want to take a look at something that has personally or bothered me and it's this wire, russia, us relation so bad. it's like siblings and can't get along so much in common, so much to share. so many missed opportunities and you had a history has simply not been kind to this relationship, believe it or not, as bad as it seems now, with the us government's ridiculously stubborn refusal to accept brush as

a global partner. no matter how many times russia has asked to be a partner, it's been as bad or worse, at other times, forces inside the us for reasons apparently having to do with power and money. have simply not accepted, consistently friendly or even fair relations with russia. but when did this really start? how could this could have been different? how could i have been different when i go in quite a bit in quite a bit of a very different is a, towards the end of world war 2. there was a deep appreciation in the united states among almost all americans for what joseph solid. yeah. joseph stalin, for all his issues had done had mustered. after all, it was clearly his russian army that a truly defeated or put the finishing blow in adolf hitler's nazi regime. that's a fact that overtime was whittled away by british power brokers, us industrialists. and of course,

how could we forget hollywood the sooner on earth you went to the most extraordinary days of world war 2 and of the biggest battle of them might be used for man. have a full bottle of exciting to watch, a battle of the bulge. that's what we all grew up with, right. it's pretty good stuff. we were told all the time. still told to this day that we won world war 2, but of course a little help from the british. and of course it was a french resistance. right. who, wow, wow, oh, yeah. so russian, spain were somehow also involved. what really happened was very different of

that and you know, who understood that the president of the united states at the time before his death president franklin delano roosevelt enjoyed a respectful, would appreciate a relationship with the soviet union and its leadership as well as so interestingly enough, did his vice president, his vice president was a lot like it looks to. the guy's name was henry wallace. as was big here. right. wallace was the 2nd most popular man in america after f t r. he was, oh, it was a people guy. you know, not, not a typical politician, not a guy who came from money like so many around him. i mean, i'm gonna share with you something. now here's a speech as well as his famous speech on social reform and the common man. the speech came to be known as the revolution of the people's speech. so having spoken of the american century, i say that the century on which we are entering the century, which will come out of this war, can be it must be the century of the coming. but there must be neither military,

north, economic, imperialist margin, freedom of 150 years. there were the american revolution, the french revolution, the level american revolution, the russian revolution. somewhat the common man, how good stops. now, most people like the sky a lot. however, and here's the problem, the british and the other global industrialist. they did not like wallace. winston churchill in particular, hated this guy, and a part of lisa agents into the united states to monitor him. churchill seemed to hate russians and also seem to resent the credit that the soviets had gotten for

marching into berlin and taking up the nazis. because wallace didn't agree with churchill regarding the soviets. he kind of like them, or least respected of churchill dislike wallace by the way. wallace was no fan of church on either. i'll show you a clip now is interesting where wallace all but calls churchill publicly a drunk. i said mostly the notion of anglo saxon superior nor did it in churches approach will be offensive to many federal that's quite a bit of whiskey said why be apologetic about under sex on seberio or is it that we were superior? that's right. as i drink by whiskey, i will tell you we are superior to everybody else. so was that the crazy about church? you didn't like imperialism. he also believes that can work with the soviets. that sounds troubling, too. that makes them popular with people all throughout the americas. for example, live america, where i come from atlanta america. this guy visits almost every single country,

any celebrated to locate the name of the window. but it says, it says i have the good fortune of visiting other pieces other countries, pardon me, i have a good fortune of doing so nature. wallace, at this point is a sure to follow roosevelt. but 1st he had to continue to be a vice president. and if the people had been allowed to choose, he would have been the obvious winner as vice president. money wasn't up to the people, much like the way the democratic party, upper adjective, done today with president biden. they wanted somebody else, someone they couldn't maybe manipulate all this was cheated. the party knowing that f d r probably didn't have much longer to live chosen other guy, a guy named harry truman instead. this guy was a salesman, areas older,

but as a young man that's all he did. he sold suits. he was once used as an example by party leaders who said he was paying like a, just a bucket. any part of your life to truman actually admitted. he had no idea what he was doing when he became president. he wasn't kidding well, wallace and roosevelt had been very close. um and wallace had met with the president and roosevelt the ad for leaders. when he was the vp. truman had actually met with the roosevelt types. that's it. to meetings with roosevelt before he died . he knew nothing about, you know, nothing about style yet because of what the projects kind of did. when roosevelt dies. this guys in charge, the great human i did. i called upon all americans to help me keep our nation united in defense of those ideal which i have been so eloquently proclaimed by franklin roosevelt. actually,

truman turns out to be nothing like roosevelt roosevelt wanted to work with the soviets. truman was mediately talked in the hating them. that was easy, because he knew nothing about them or even what they had actually done. truman became the victim of what was like a whisper campaign within the u. s. government convincing him that the soviets were gonna try to take over your sound familiar. it wasn't true, but it didn't matter. what was true was the people advising truman the pro big business class. they wanted him to believe it most with the heirs of the rich. you know, the railroad class, the banking class, the big time industrial as they disliked the soviets because they hated their social reforms. and in fact, they hated any government that wasn't for big business interest because that's what their interest wants, right? makes sense? well, something like wallace tried to tell truman that he should engage with the russians . the president didn't listen. instead, he tried to bully them. and so,

no matter how much soviet leaders tried to negotiate with him, what they got were conversations where a truman would later be quoted as saying, i see, i put them in their place. i showed them those guys i really did, right. and in many ways, some historians would argue that those beginnings, those post world war 2 moments set the course for what is taking place today to join him. you know, is peter kostnik, he is, if there's ever been a perfect guest, he's the perfect guest. this is the professor and the director of the nuclear studies institute at american university, and oliver stone co authored the 10 part documentary film series and but both titled, until the story of the united states. this is a piece of work that i have seen and read again and again. and if you do nothing before you leave this or before you have your next conversation about politics with whoever, please do yourself a favor. reading this book,

watch this documentary. it is that good and can actually change again. here's the matter, wrote it. peter kostnik, professor american university professor, thank you so much for being with us. after the with you wrecked that was quite an introduction. right? a little history less and you gave it your less than a professor and why we should start so few americans now this my classes are big enough to take my classes. they know it, but you know, we don't get access. people who got a contrary view that doesn't fit into the narrow framework of american exceptionalism. don't get access to mass media in the united states. i do, i'm amazed stream, bad television, major television, all over the world. except to my own country. this is tighter control over the media in the united states than any place else in the world. and so we can,

if you do get a question, the narrative about american goodness, american benevolence, america wanting to spread freedom and democracy, i use simply get frozen out. and that's been my experience largely except for a few blips here and there and oliver and i 1st came out with that and told history, we certainly did get on all the mainstream media. but since then we have not been getting on it have. here's something i've always wanted to know. if the u. s. had, let's say henry wallace and not harry truman, and they would have engaged the soviets. do you think that the us russo relations would have been different? and even more importantly, do you think russia, as we know it today, would have been different? what have changed from style in this letter and as to something else?

had we just given them room debris to allow that sure that russia itself would have been different, right. away, but eastern europe could have been different. what the soviets understood with their concern was a bit innovated twice through eastern europe. mm hm. live germany. what they want that after world war 2 was a buffer zone. as they saw their security in terms of space and territory and geography. so they wanted a buffer zone and they did not impose lock step quote unquote, communist or soviet style governments. immediately after the war. there was even a relative degree of democracy allowed east to europe. they had elections, they had a open discussion. it wasn't really until the truman doctrine in early 47,

that the soviets began to crack down and impose the kind of dic tutorial governments that we saw in, in eastern europe. but that was after they've given up on the united states. and so that's what somebody got that's on. so that's what i was getting at. did they did, they did a crack down because we pushed them in that direction because we started see from what i was just telling and what i read mostly of your materials. it seemed like harry truman didn't even want to give him a break. didn't want to have a conversation with them. treated the russian soviet leaders at the time like any, it's like why even talking to me, you don't deserve to be in the same room with me right from the very beginning. that was his attitude. unlike roosevelt that you say, unlike wallace. one point that i would add to what you were saying about wallace, and there's popularity caliber released the pole on july 20th 1944. the 1st day of the democratic party convention in chicago,

asking potential voters who they want that on. the ticket is vice president, 65 percent of potential voters. so they wanted wireless back as vice president, 2 percent wanted truman. yeah that's, it was so one sided. it was worse. and the university of connecticut, purdue basketball game. so at least they were in there for a half. do you think? do you, do you do think the same forces? gosh, i like it makes me angry to ask this question, but i have to ask it because it's just so damn obvious. the same thing is we see today people who have power, people who have money, people who have influence people who are military contractors, the money in class bag that i called at the railroad glass or whatever the heck they call that the gilded age. today. it's like those same people are still doing the same thing. am i wrong? safley, you're right, mates. were it in some ways the worst situation now,

the only words during the 1st cold war we've got, we're facing potential li, explosive situations and gaza. me in ukraine, for inside one or over taiwan. if any one of these could erupt into world war 3 because there is no diplomacy. there is no statesmanship. there is no looking at the world through the eyes of our adversary. ready and that's what special wallace kept trying to impress upon, trimming because roosevelt begged wallace to stay in the cabinet after truman was chosen as vice president. and while as big as secretary of commerce and from that position for the next, almost 2 years, he weighs a campaign to try to open truman's eyes up to how what the us was doing, look to the soviets. and it would say it is memos to it. and the meetings are

truman, how would it look if we had them or not, if they had a monopoly on time, a bombs, and we didn't. if they had basses all over the world, and we didn't, if they had bomb or is that could attack us? and we didn't know what john kennedy, who's the only president since roosevelt hall that brought home that thought i where you're going cuz where i want to go, in fact, i've got to post a button. you're about to say, i've got it queued up. and when we come back, i'm going to let people hear exactly what uh, john f. kennedy said, the 1st time a president comes out and says something that it's almost a mystery why nobody excited for, for stay right there will be right back. the video of alleged abuse by an officer today, a sheriff's deputy in columbia, south carolina, forcibly removed his student from

a classroom at spring valley high school. i saw him just talked to her sprained her and initially, you know, i didn't think is a problem because i knew that she was just is quite a student in the class. someone looks the police officer. so it says here is law enforcement that is worse. clearly attacking, abusing power and it ended the other is present. this is what's wrong with the probably be on discipline, black children. he was there enforcing a law to meet the crime, to quote, disturb schools in any way. that means any disturbance that any kids causes and school is huge and forces never predict but necessary. a tops people are never going to change them out and so people will never change their minds about the video. they think i was wrong, and that's the,

the public sanchez, this is direct impact and i'm talking to professor peter cosmic. and he was about to say something to you that i, i wanted to hear him say, but 1st i'm going to give him some material to work with. it's funny, but here's what i think he was about to express. long past world war 2 after roosevelt, for example, no single u. s. president ever gave the russian people there do for what they did to the think the nazis nobody. i mean this is crazy that we were able to essentially waste that piece of history. it wasn't until j, f, k, john have kind of a finally stood up and did it. he said, what should've been said earlier by truman m a and by others here it is. we got it for you. a nation in the history of bad ever suffered more than the soviet

union. in the 2nd, at least $20000000.00 lost a large, countless millions of whole families were under a 3rd of the nation's territory. including 2 thirds of its industrial face was turned into a waste land, a loss of privilege to the destruction of this country, east of chicago. and then not coincidentally, he was assassinated after saying that. anyway, that's another show for another day. let's stick to this professor. is it, can you characterize for us, what russia soviets did to, and the nazi regime where they helpers or were they the dominant force? they were clearly the down and, and force due united states, roosevelt a promised style and that the u. s. would open the 2nd front in western

europe before the end of 1942 asked style and to send over molotov, and a trusted general to washington in may of 1942. and at the meeting, he turns to general marshal, as, as can we agreed to open up the 2nd front before the end of the. ready ear and marshal said absol. ready late, how do we convey that to style? and that was what the russians were counting on. you have to remember of it for up most of the war. the united states and british were facing 10 german divisions between us. while the south east were facing more than 200 german divisions by themselves and but when we failed to open up the 2nd front, we lost a diplomatic initiative. we don't open it up until june of 44 year and a half later. by that point,

the soviets had defeated the germans as stalingrad. they had broken the siege of leningrad. there wasn't a huge tank battle that occurs. as after stalingrad, hitler said the gods of war turned against us. and the army was captured and the germans were in a full retreat to germany. and it was in that process that the soviets liberated bunch of the kinds of treasury cabs and were viewed as a liberators and much of eastern and central europe. but the world knew that at the time, even the new york times is writing, that if we win this war and we're not in slavery to the nazis, we've got a thank the so the relic soviets for making this possible. so was that a concerted effort? was it a concerted effort to change the thinking of that? how did that go away? where now the only time we talked about the soviets of world war 2 was the atrocities they committed as they were going through poland and germany. it's uh,

this is, as a vandenberg said to truman that if he wants to get the truman doctrine through congress, that if he wants to get the us to take over for the british in greece as well as modernizing the circus army, he's going to have to scare the hell out of the american people. those are the words the use scare the hell out of the american people. and that's what wallace warrens about. he said out of fear, great nations are acting like corner beast. as it was talking about the united states and the british. so, so, so we used to sometimes in here. so we use for your event to try and convince the american people to hate, quote unquote, soviets backslash rush off. and we did the same thing to try and get into the raft, or i've got to stand serial. and now apparently, we're doing the same thing with ukraine,

making up the story that po and the russians are about to invade europe. i'm take it over, i read that in your, in your writings. same thing that we were being told 506-070-8090 years ago. we're being told a me call it fost threat installation. and this has happened over and over again with l. s. c. $68.00, in 1950 for how does they convince the world or the united states to quadruple it's military spending? by saying that we have to be prepared to not do what was, who respond to what we think is likely on the part of the soviets. but we think they are capable of in a worst case scenario and we did it. so the effect of the korean war was to get n s. the 68 pass. it was neat, says idea to crowd drupal, u. s. military spending. we see the same thing after the soviets launched button

and 1957. if you read the gates a report or the york washington post characterization, the united states is facing the greatest peril in his history. and how do we respond? we respond to by fear mongering, and so the strategic air command. so we have to build 10000 new icbm. the air force want to 3000. the lowest number of mcnamara thought he could get away with was increasing 1000 salvia tests for at the time. and how did a look what the us was doing here? and i looked to them and looked as if the us for perry, for a 1st strike, nuclear strike against the soviet union to wipe it out of this epic. this is why do we have, why do they have the missiles in cuba? and there's all the history. yeah, it's not just, it's the same thing with more recently, george w bush and the project for a new american century. the all costs or reagan and the committee on the present

danger. i have all the go over and over the same mistake and now would say that putting wants to take over europe. i mean, it's crazy. they could barely discrete ukraine. it's the same argument over and over again. the same scare tactics over and over again. the on told the history of the united states, oliver stone and v peter goose neck professor. thank you so much for joining us. great conversation. it's patrick. it's always great. 3, with your pen and with you, sir, and with you, before we go, i just have to remind you of her mission, really. it's to the side of the world. i mean, we've got to stop living in these little boxes where we think we know everything truths don't live in boxes, neither do we. neither does this show. this is where we are, i'm rick sanchez and this is directed the,

the world's largest democracy votes. the rest of the planet watchers in an emerging multi polar world. india's voice matters. but who will be the power behind watches, almost $1000000000.00 people decide and billions more, react the

cost me. i mean, it arrives or did the impress, misleading common to the end result caused by the way the media has classes. and so you guys who are access to the conference room cache, we region as local calls, the violence in, in these general election also has this child skeleton is in fact a massive piano as us to, for the inside. and they to blow up from the to ukraine. oh, i know waiting, so most go times kind of fit from to useful. see, the display is trophies russian capital say, well, nations 3 capital gains is low with columbia and cut.
