as honest as it gets to the prisons, who am i with the does on what to do from the on the line. so he's the lead off the party. he's in charge of them, keep putting people, those sort of thing must elect every direction that trickled zimmer will give us. we will follow him. you leave this part the cool months. this part, it keeps directions to this opinion. polls indicate that he is, he's much are as he is the risk with the empty party, posing a significance debates, particularly in humans home, proven. so for them in a time where she remains a very much popular and because between the 2 into ones whom as imprisonment led to riots and possibly natal resulting in more than 300 dates and widespread routine exploits via that is the m. k support is don't have the away with these mixes. this could get out of pad, but it has to do it. i'm a pull, so the so that's a good prison expressing confidence in the movement of flu and has stated that security forces prepared to handle any potential violence following the court's

decision. sorry to have you with us here. we're not the international this tuesday with bank of the top of the i was more of the very like the hello got everybody. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. and this is what we're going to be talking about a, a high call carrying the a rainy and a president on several high officials with supposedly makes a rough landing. so what you just heard, right there is how the news 1st broke. interesting choice of word. no hard landing . how does that mean? right, well it was much worse. the present, other on is dead. i'm rick sanchez. this is a major global story and we're going to cover and for you, let's do it the so that i should have a rod as morning tonight with the death of their president abraham racy, is that a calendar crashed in an area near as or by john in northern iran after rice,

he had joined the as or by johnny officials, to basically do it politicians doing. they were cutting a ribbon on some new dam that was just built to serve apparently both countries. there was really bad weather in the area. that's important. but the cause of the crash is still in this desolate area where it happened not known yet, a bronze. it president and bring him right. you see on the foreign minister who's saying a mirror of the law hand are both confirmed to have died in a helicopter crash. breaking news out of a ron or state media has now confirm the death of president abraham pricing and was significant breaking news. your on state media is reporting that the nation's president and foreign minister has died in a helicopter crash search teams arrived at the site and what was originally called a hard landing and they found no sign of life. there's that hard landing thing

again, right? see, was known to travel by helicopter and ad and fed promised to visit every one of the country's provinces that make him a target, you think as he travelled around in an american made bell helicopter by the way. well, it's an obvious question, an excellent question. not to mention one that is being asked all over the world today. i mean, my gosh, go on internet, go on social media sites, diplomatic missions around the world, probably all talking to themselves, especially in countries from the global south community who don't buy the stories that are generally put out by the western media. because too often they're basically written by the pentagon or the state department. so well one of fingers pointing to at this point, the right israel for years now, israel's of secret service. the massage has been hitting and radi and targets inside and outside of the country. the incidents are way too numerous to list the most recent is the bombing in the assassination of iranian and bassett. or is that the serial number see, but by far the most brazen,

where the mafia style hits on 4 or 5 different iranian nuclear scientists. and this all occurred between 20102020 all were 4 in length assassinations, most linked to israel with the most infamous being the assassination of the head of the nuclear program that some guy who was named most on soc residing. right. and this is interesting in 2021, it was reported that the retired is riley mill, saw the agent seemed to come out and admit the interviews with a media that israel was indeed responsible for that hit. the also suggested that it really, agents were able to get into iranian facilities to destroy and or sabotage iranian nuclear energy facilities. so look, there is no evidence at this point and we have to be journalistically fair about this. there's no evidence to suggest that this helicopter crash that killed the

president other on was perpetrated by israel or by the united states or anybody else for that matter. at this point. we just don't know, however, and this is important. this. however, manila, there is plenty of history to suggest and it would be foolhardy not to at least consider that israel is both willing and capable of doing something like this. especially given the stories that you and i have been talking about recently the tap for tap between israel, the united states and uh, and iran in just recent weeks. you say what? well yeah, rick, absolutely it's, it's quite feasible to imagine that there was something nefarious behind this helicopter rack. however, as you said, we have to remain journalistically fair about the information we currently have and not to speculate what we do know about this particular crash site was the weather conditions at the time the weather conditions up in this mountainous region.

apparently it's a very remote era area. it was very foggy. it was blizzard conditions is what the reports are saying. and if we harkened back just a couple of years ago to the famous l. a lakers player, coby bryant, his helicopter went down in a mountainous area of los angeles as well due to heavy fog and the bad weather conditions. and as it turned out, it was pilot error low. i think that's the best the best but didn't know but, but that's like saying in the last uh year i think i've reported just myself about 35 incidences involving boeing. so now a boeing plane crashes, and the 1st thing we look at is the weather. and we don't talk about the other 35, the crash because there was some kind of mechanical problem with the way they were manufactured by boeing. it's almost like, yes, the weather could have been bad,

but that doesn't mean that there can't be another explanation as well. you get my drift. you know, i agree. i agree that we can't. we can't rule out any foul play. but, but at the moment, the information that we have on hand, we have to kind of base them on where they were traveling and what the climate looked like at the time. the time of day it was if there was mechanical failure. so i would say we need to reserve judgment until we get gather further information. and as we know, iranian state media has been kind of scant on that on the details. and like you said, they were calling it a rock landing. i mean, that's one way of putting it for sure. and as you can see from the images there, i mean, you can in that is some 6 fog. oh, it was one of those feet ahead of you. you're absolutely right. it was horribly 40 and that's true. and it's something that should be taken into account. all right, let's go to another story. it's official president joe biden and donald trump will debate the surprised decision to do so, began with this very edited,

heavily edited challenge here. this is so close to the beach to me in 2020, the sense that he had showed up for debates. now he's acting like he wants to debate me against or make my day pass all even do a twice 1st picture day style. i hear you free. i'm was is how many adults can you put it in 14 seconds? that's gotta be a run. cuz i remember she was like 20 added to the 14 2nd video. trump has accepted back. okay. but the rules are really weird. so here we go, there's going to be no audience. there's going to be no, bobby kennedy junior. the candidates are going to control everything with the help of cnn. the moderators are, i mean, i hate to say it, but it is what it is. they're pro israel. zion is reporters, jake tapper and dana bash and wait, it gets even better. the sponsors of the debate will likely be those who have sponsored have in the past, raytheon pratt and whitney and other military contractors who have sponsored the

the these debates many times in the past. now who in the hell is going to be watching a debate and decide they want to order a warship or a bomb? i don't know, but in case they want to, the commercial will be there by raytheon miller. what do you say? well yeah, i'm already on the wait list for the the newest aircraft carrier. i thought i would have one on the side. so i can't wait to watch the bates. but yes, the be this heavily, heavily edited video of the president, almost as if he was daring president trump to debate him. i mean it's, it's after the fact it's a little bit too late. donald trump was the 1st one to say i'm in. put me in sign me up, coach, i'm in throne me in the game. so i don't understand why the president's team decided to put up this very short video, then probably taped in micro seconds, because that's the only way he can get through a sentence at this point. but i mean, you're right this, this whole debate sham with 2 people. yeah. everyone's be muted and that it is

quarter if the american isn't carter re, again, it's not nixon j a k. i mean, it's ridiculous and, and really, i mean i like that, but i think is a good guy and i think he's a good reporter. i think that a bash. obviously i worked with her for many years. i know her, but her policies which she believes and what she reports on a daily basis about what's going on and god's of what she reports about ukraine. what you reports about the south china sea. she is lock step in with the administration, 100 percent. both of them are 100 percent, the jo buttons of foreign policy. and that just seems a little weird that the people who are gonna be moderating the debate are 100 percent lock step with everything that the president set. so that, no, no, we got to get wrong cuz i gotta get this it. and we're also we're going to run out of time. and i've got a great gift coming on. and by the way, who's from f? i you, i'll tell you about that little bit america's most macho senator, he's added again, sounding like a man,

his loyalty is to the connected and not to the us. lindsey graham actually came out and said he trust israel more than the united states. anybody else who declared their loyalty to another country other than the us. and as a senator, would probably be criticized maybe even called a traitor, not in this case. here's this comment. now interest, israel more than i drove at austin based bills that afghanistan withdrawal was a good idea. bottom line, there's a lot at stake here. i think the region in the world is going to 2nd guess future relationships with us. mister president, if you don't change your mind, it says because joe biden did one tiny little thing that could be seen against is real. why would he say that? most americans who don't get their information from cable news or the new york times, or even someone who do will tell you it's because it's probably corrupt because he's paid by military contractors will give them money left. and i mean,

been time box. uh, you know, so they don't have more wars and because he's also probably gets a check from a pack. i mean, everybody in congress gets a check from a pack. they pay us politicians. i grabbed the support as real over or even the us itself. and many in many ways, and by the way, they have a white to, it's perfectly legal to give money to politicians so that they vote and say, certain things. that's the way our system now works. that's what the supreme court decided we have. so it is what it is, yours code pink though, a protester making that point of some at the powers committee hearing. and then getting thrown out for essentially, i'm sorry to say it, but telling the truth of the status. so that's one more the only the order if you want the order. 6 to read the

committee will come to order. oh, close all those the video come door. the committee will turn to order. look, love him. hate him, disagree with that dude. whoever he is. i think i know his name, but i was there. somebody in the united states should be allowed to at least say something different from what the politicians and the media are saying. that guy gets up to say it and he gets thrown out on his. but i don't know what does that say about him? and he does it musically, rick, i mean, it's a catchy tune for us to remember who's financing genocide here? that's number one. but number 2 on the whole, lindsey graham talk,

he's spent all of last week, essentially, effectively advocating using nukes on gaza, not in so many words said no, he's literally was justifying. he said he was justifying it by comparing it in into the lens of world war 2. the whole world is, has changed. first and foremost, the weapons that we have have changed and this guy is over here, war hocking. what he normally does best. and this is his continuation of, of crazy blood last words. this is the would say something like that. think about what you just said in your protest or right now, according to the us congress and you say from the river to the sea. it means that you're a terrorist. and it means that you want the destruction of israel and you can be put in jail according to the laws that were just passed. lindsey graham says he wants everyone in gaza to be new to disappear, to fly, essentially. and there is no punishment or anything that is that about him and the

story last that essentially 15 minutes in the new cycle, something the something wrong with that it just something wrong with that just doesn't seem fair. miller, thanks appreciate your time. thank you rick eric lab works as a professor at florida international university. it's a school that i have many connections to like, i love the school. all my kids went there. it's a great place. i hear he's a great professor, he's written a book. it's called the ron's reconstruction jihad world development. and regina consolidation, sorry, regime consolidation, not re genes. they used to be a club on south beach, after 1979, not the club, his book. it's a good book. you should get it. he's going to be kind enough to join us in just a little bit to either agree or disagrees with some of the things that are taking place right now in iran, in particular, with this death of their president will be right back. stay with us. the

russian states never as one of the most sense community best, most all sense and the speed, the one else calls question about this, even though we will fan in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on russia to de escalate the r t. suppose that keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube, the question, did you say they requested the

the, what is a part of the, the employee would post that isn't the defense you of us and bidding the word part? is it something deeper, more complex might be present there? let's stop without teachers, desktop product the the so welcome back. i'm rick sanchez and this is direct impact. so his book is called ron's reconstruction. jihad will development and regime consolidation. after 1979, he's done tons of interviews to put this book together. he's a professor at florida international university and beautiful miami. professor eric

lot is good enough to join us now to talk a little bit about what he has learned. and i guess for most on our minds today is this question about the, the iranian president dying. so what happens now, is this going to change iranian politics? do you think well myself and, and minneapolis don't believe there's going to be bunch of a change um, because of the system over there with the supreme leader. really having the final say over foreign policy and even many areas of domestic policy. that even with this president, to in many ways was an extension of the supreme leader of a big hill to essentially that there, there is going to be more continuity and really then there would be change on moving forward in the wrong the go to south community will tell you that all things considered with everything that we, the united states have thrown at iran, breaking treaties and you know,

firing at them is real assassinating their and bassett, or is just uh, a month ago, etc, etc. all things considered uh, this government has when it has been somewhat tolerant of all of that. of course, the western media will tell you they're all paras or monsters and you know, they're out there though. just destroy the world. which side are you on? well usually stay in the middle, but good course. yeah. you know, as an academic, it's a safe place. uh, you know, of course we didn't negotiate a deal with them in 2015 the, the wrong nuclear deal where the basic premises that they would scale back their nuclear activities waste a by all accounts they were largely, if not entirely compliance with and then the us was going to provide sanctions relief and of course, 3 years later, 2018, the us unilaterally withdrawals from the deal. and it barks on this campaign of maximum, the maximum pressure that you describe sections and other activities and ups. i

mean, the question is if, if there hadn't been that as a counter factual, where do we be in a different place today? not just with the ron, but in the wider region in terms of having a perhaps greater stability. i think it's a big question to ask him to ponder when the trump administration executed, or i should say, assassinated soul of money, for example. i mean, i don't know, man, i mean, that's a hell of a thing to do. you imagine one of our leaders were assassinated by china, or russia or event as well, or one of the countries that we think are, are the bad guys or ron, for that matter. i mean of the fact that they barely react to that. maybe they're not as evil as we think. well, i think they're more rational than we think in terms of when we see them that are, that are subjected to these kind of attacks whether it was the assassination of solar bonnie in 2020. whether it was the fact that you had mentioned earlier of

that also across the red line in terms of international norms and the pull it up for rules rules based the order that the us overseas, when they're a embassy or their cost, a lot of damascus was hit back in april is that they respond in a very calculated way in a way that's telegraphed. that's uh for a graph to, in many ways to show that they could save space, but at the same time, not escalate this compliment even further and invite a larger retaliatory response for could eventually superior allies in the united states. and israel. that it really was the line and their response. yeah. and that's, that's my biggest concern. you know, obviously i've been to israel as a journalist. i've covered it. i've met with folks at the can. that's it. been all over the country tucked all kinds of people by the way, you know, there's a joke about israeli jews, you know, you had talked to 5 different jews in israel and you get 5 different opinions about things, which is generally true. i, i think they, they tend to have more varied opinions that even we do here in the united states,

but by fear now with this particular government, the method, yahoo government, to be honest with you is that he almost would like to see us the united states our tax dollars, etc, dragged into some kind of conflagration with iran that, that really worries me as an american. uh am i. am i wrong to be concerned about that? i think it's a valid point. so in terms of, well, you know, israel back in 2015 or 16 being the, you know, one of the staunch opponents of the iran nuclear deal. and you know, some of the is really national security establishment would say that that was actually a good deal for us really security to try to contain the iranian nuclear capability of so you know, the question is why, why that is real, really oppose the deal. and then the question or the answer may be that it was more, it's pure rub, prussia mall between iran in the united states. more than the actual capabilities.

and, you know, say as soon as you know, leading up to october 7th after october. so there's, you've been slides, there seems to be this desire by some within these really governments to drag the united states in the war with the ross and the united states. it to its credit is not taking the debate as not taking the bait. yeah. and is actually had indirect talks recently with the ryans, i believe in oman, or somewhere in the region to try to dial down sessions and avoid that scenario from happening, especially heading into a election season. i added, you know, heading into november. i heard that the person replacing presenter i see of iran is going to be another very similar quote unquote hard line. or in other words, he's going to be someone who pretty much represents the same thinking. what do you expect that not to be true, and would you expect the populace there in iran, or the think tanks, the media, the educational sector to push against that to try and go in a different direction?

well, you know, they could try. i mean, well, you know, whatever is left of the independent civil society over there could try to push back . but you know, they seem to be really at the mercy of, in many ways to be uh, preferences, perceptions, the policies of the supreme leader and his inner circle. but he, you know, to answer your question, i would say really, it's a, it, it's an open question. we have to really keep an eye on this because of the, the 1st vice president is now the intern for us, or volleyball bar is really an unknown quantity and, and he's kept a very low profile of so i think it's hard to predict what direction he's going to go and that said, when you look at a c, v, or his resume and what he's done, it's clear that he has close connections to the supreme leader to the revolutionary guard. and so one could assume you know that there's going to be some continuity there with the domestic and bar policies that rise see,

had pursued her and at the very least, supported. before i let you go, speaking of our approach, small, i think there seems to be something developing on the global stage with a global south community, india, russia, china, iran, saudi arabia, a brazil, all these bricks, nations are suddenly coming out and challenging. what we have. busy always thought to be, you know, our own dominion of politics and economics all over the world. what, what is your take on that? especially f, as it effects iran, because it makes it harder. i would think for our side, for washington to be able to go around the world or you can talk to them. you can't do anything with them. they're bad people that a lot of people are saying, well, you said that about us to the do you see what i'm going with us? oh, absolutely. and i think it's so important void of something to keep an eye on as well, in terms of despite all the, you know, the sanctions. i mean there, there, yeah. how the sections that we've levied against the wrong, the maximum pressure campaigns. the attempts to isolate this is that in the past

year or 2 since rises been present, any ron has joined briggs along with its regional rivals, saudi arabia, and the united arab emirates. and it's also become a member of the shanghai cooperation organization. and these are institutions as you describe, that are really looking to push 1st of all economic sub of all else that really not intervene at the political affairs of their member states. so, you know, that's number one and secondly, you know, as you've applied, there's this of this spirit of trying to establish an order, or that, that really means on the principle of non aligned bins and independence by the states. although of course, there's going to be power dynamics within those institutions with china being there and all, and also kind of thinking about an alternative world of water that leaves more multi polarity. and that transitions away from unit polarity and, and know just having a policy imposed by the united states and by western powers. yeah. and it's going

to be hard, i think, and i'm sorry to say we've run out of time, but i see our leaders. i mean, whether you're talking about mr. trump or mr. bide, and these are old war horses from days gone by. they still think in many ways, like the 19 fifties and sixties and they believe there's a big cold war out there that we got a when. and i just don't think that that's the thinking that we're going to need for the future to effect of a proper foreign policy. um, i guess we got 15 seconds if you want to comment on that. do you agree? i think, i think, as you said, it may be beneficial to think of the world less as a 0 sum game. yeah. a game, assuming we could get out of that mindset and a more of, you know, where there is given take and where are the, you know, thinking about call benefit analysis and, you know, leading less are not military, but perhaps more diplomacy and development and other to. ready to further our, our national interest and objectives, however, we decided to find them. that's great stuff,

especially. thank you so much. thank you for your book. thank you for your time and thank you for helping my kids a little bit smarter. i appreciate it. thank you. it was a pleasure being here, a pleasure meeting you. so thank you back. thank you. that's our show. remember, now always look outside your own little box. that's one of the problems we have nowadays. we all want to live in these little boxes where we think it's only our group that matters. busy troops matter, i'm rick sanchez, will see you the next time the i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're so shorter is a conflict with the 1st law show your mind, anticipation. we should be very careful about visual intelligence at the point,

obviously is to trust rather than fit the various. i mean, with the artificial intelligence, we have so many payments, the robot must protect this phone. existence was only exist on the world's largest democracy votes, the rest of the planet watchers in an emerging multi polar world. indeed, as voice matters, but who will be the power behind watches, almost 1000000000 people decide and billions for react. the

wrong the ladies, the country's top officials to rest of the faithful. how they come to crash on sunday with crowns gathering in the city of south of toronto for the funeral procession. we are running out of words to describe what is happening in that as we have described this as a catastrophe, a nightmare. as hell on earth. it is all of these and worse, the situation in garza is causes 12, according to the you when it's nearly if the population faces says this moment. this comes as this well disrupt the age supply routes, things of the estimate and friendship. president, a monument prone has to crisis stricken new caledonia, i'm of the angry protests are the things.
