guy did, the police didn't struggle as the create just model issue a for type. and many countries remain silent. we have chosen to rise to the occasion and to ensure that we look into those experiences and drawer lessons for my own structure for liberation. and how we can effectively support or press the nations around the closest we can do more, eh, on this nelson monday line technician on the day, which is a day that has been claimed by the united nations in the, on our, of this for 7 years. the president, bundle of dedicated in 7 to many, many people out around the globe today are doing thrilling topic, x in supporting the communities and dedicating 6 to 7 minutes. we are making the call today. start to through this philanthropic quick vision. many tele, an aides, that can be a, a key to day through

a fluid or maybe call aids, please, and saw that it is directed to those that need the most. and our product doesn't sisters in palestine are in much needs of thoughts. all right, well that's a look at the news for now. be sure to visit our website, r t dot com. in the meantime, for all the very latest breaking news and updates by the the hi everybody. this is direct impact. and this is what we're going to be talking about. if you took that stage, you would get paid off. you would get paid off the state. yeah, that's the thing is getting a little mass, the at the g o. p convention between the new guard and the old guard and the

republican party. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. what do you say we do this uh the okay, let's do this with this 1st video that i'm going to show you. now this 1st video is really frustrating for me, right. it, here's what happened. so the bottom white house was to take the spotlight off of the president's apparent, you know, mental incapacity. so they call n b c and they offer up the president for an interview about the shots that were fired, a truck. right? good opportunity for them. i mean that that's what they want people to be talking about instead of mr. vitamins mental problems. um, so nbc knows presenter lester hold sits down with the president united states and asked him questions that appear to be written by the president's staff,

which he here some of these questions are so obviously stage that makes the news presenter and look i, i liked this guy, he and i were hired almost at the same time at the networks by nbc. so he comes across stupid though he comes across like he's not watching the news. watch this. if you were to have continue to run in and be officially nominated. what happens if you have another episode like we saw during the day what happened then? yeah. what else? what happened is if, if you have another performance on that part that on that level to he's already had another performance on that level. i mean, lester, hate my old buddy wherever you been. i mean, he just called the one street and he just called campbell harris. trump. but why? why don't you ask him that question. i mean,

this whole narrative that it was just one bad night, which is why, by the way, according to salon, there are a lot of people in the democratic party who don't think it was just one bad, like nancy pelosi is among those. she wants the guy out. now watch this, this is an interview and an article that just came out in ceylon magazine. there's a headline, it says pelosi is working, the phone's out biden as a democratic mutiny continues. and you know why this is so important because nancy pelosi controls the donor pay. she controls the money. manila, what's more important than that? well the america, this is all about the money. okay. look. nancy pelosi up until this point has been wishy washy about. yeah. her support of her very long time. friend joe biden. yeah . and the speaker america, we all know here in washington dc,

she brings in the doe ring. she controls the purse strings. but this, this in party fighting the intra party fighting is going to have to get hammered out very soon because lot the chicago d and c is scheduled for august 19th and now breaking just ahead of us getting on air wreck. the party leaders you've heard. but they have just moved to an early virtual voting a virtual roll call for the 1st week of august. breaking teamsters to natalie do yes, because they need to solidify biden's nomination or not by that. and i don't know who would be the they're aiming for the 1st week of august. the parties trying to blame this on ohio state laws for the rush that um ohio has a deadline for a nominate to be put on the ballot. the, the ohio state officials, they say false because they fixed that legal loophole weeks ago. but the democrats

say they don't trust the republican governor mike the wine. they're afraid that there's going to be dirty tricks to get bite in the ballot. so this ohio law that was amending the deadline won't actually go into effect until september 1st. so technically, their original law for august 7th, deadlines will still be on the books when that date, you know, comes and goes. so it could provide openings for, i don't know chaos in the democratic party. yeah. there's no question they're trying to do everything possible to move them out. it's just a matter of getting to the right people and being able to convince not only the president, but the president's family as well. by the way, given the absolute disaster that we were just talking by the democratic party, or that the democratic party has kind of created for itself. it's looking like republicans. all they have to do is just show up and they're gonna whim. however, last night we saw evidence of that long standing work between the old republic and guard, you know, the ones represented by the bushes and the chinese and the mccain's,

etc. and the know republican guard represented by people like congressman the my gets, i mean, pardon me? mac gets gauge. who we see here confronting kevin mccarthy during an interview with cnn. what niners? are you speaking tonight? if you took that off, you would get booed off the stage. the yeah, that was a little weird. by the way. remember when i said that all republicans have to do is not mess up a presidential victory, which seems to be on their lap right now. well, here's another one speaker of the house. mike johnson. manila seemingly admitting that he can't talk without a teleprompter. on the very 1st day of the republican convention,

watch this it is now my honor to introduce the attorney general. and there goes the teleprompter. the news, your live when the teleprompter goes out, you don't just say the teleprompter went out and walk away. i mean, he looks good though. every hair is in place. sounds great until you take away a script and then a meltdown and doesn't know what to say. wow. that was. that was not good. that was ugly. that makes them look down to me. you or at least the band sounded good, the start. i mean, look, look, this tv. we all use tell them from do. yeah, i heard the snort there,

but you know what? we're all fans of the teleprompter. but at the same time, if you are actually aware and believe in the topics that you're discussing, sure you're supposed to be talking about and you should be able to talk to the product. or did he forget the name of the ag of whatever state you're the right? that's really, that's really bad. i mean, i don't think he should be the best thing once he's out of the house. i don't think he should expect to to be contract that you know. yeah. all right, so anyway, well, we here in the united states are trying to figure on our politics. guess what's happening in other parts of the world. and this is important. countries in the global south countries from breaks communities, they're continuing to forge alliances. look at this. china and russia, both usual targets of the united states and nato. and you're gonna hear horrible things about them during the republican convention. and the democratic convention

are conducting military exercises. off the coast of china, the russian pacifically joined the chinese navy for drills that included air defense exercise as an anti submarine drills in the area of the south china sea. by the way, well that is going on. the philippines has now signed a mutual defense agreement with japan. interestingly enough. and it's kind of odd when you consider the history of what you're paying did to the filipino people before and during world war 2. now, manila of these 2 countries, japan and the philippines just simply coming together naturally or do you think there's somebody else there orchestrating this uh, this arrangement as well. but before we get into that, rick, let me take us back about a week ago, last week during the nato summit. huh. um, the group, the collective group basically called china and enable or of the,

the war in ukraine that they were enabling russia's war on ukraine. those are their words not mine. mm hm. um, citing, citing the so called no limits partnership between china and russia. and then you had the chinese officials. they responded saying that nato needs to stay out of pacific rim affairs and to stop reading chaos again. their words, not my stop creating chaos in the region, and then they went to accuse nato a, a. this is the quote. i think up china is responsibility on the ukraine issue. and they then went on to say that, you know, there's a sinister and unreasonable, so here we are today. it's no surprise to me that now you have russia and china both flexing their muscles, you know, pacific. because if nato kind of gave a week week and a elbow nudge and then suddenly you're seeing this, i don't think it's a surprise that you're seeing the philippines and japan who have historic bad blood,

almost as bad as mccarthy and gates. bad blood working together too. i would say hope the dragon. yeah. yeah there's, there's a lot going on there. and unfortunately we here in the united states and most of us who consume western media don't get the real story. that's why i think it's important to keep an eye on that part of the world, especially the south china sea. all right, one final thing at the got the republican national convention that i have to show you, you know, one of the biggest stories in the us politics for quite some time now has been, my god, what happened to rudy giuliani? i mean, i used to see this guy, i think you probably did to, i think most americans did. he was always viewed perceived just one of the sharpest, most courageous us politicians by millions and millions of americans. right. well, now it's all about rudy's fall from grace a. m. fall from grace he did yesterday,

as he tried to make his way into the republican convention. this is a little tough to watch the stuff and yet old man, i'll tell you. i've said this before when i've showed you videos of mr. bite and stumbling and mumbling, i feel bad for him and i'll say the same thing about read giuliani. i watch that video and i, i kinda feel bad for him. i mean, what, what do you think manella, i mean, as rough as likely the same same rick, but i will say that is a, a tough choice of words there. the fall from grace have

a talk about falling. there were people that were speculating online that oh there goes rudy. he's drunk. yeah, um and then other people i again i'm going to, i'm going to side with you on this is that there needs to be some humanity here. this man is 80 years old. he's 80 years old america is mer who everybody adored after 911. correct? the fall from grace happened, but at the same time aging also happened, which is why i think for the same sympathy i offer to joe biden, in the way of yeah, age related, 0. see, right. i think should be extended to rudy giuliani. he's 80 years old. yeah, um and you know, to see, you see somebody fall that's 80 years old back and leave the something bad you know, extra help and that is a downward slide. right? no, you're absolutely right. it happened of my father and it was pretty much the beginning of the end, and it was very sad. but optics matter in politics and that video of him following the video of him with a hair coming down, his face the, the video of him in the movie trying to be with the very young women, a woman,

while drinking wine and bad that the, those are immense hard pictures to get out of your head. and unfortunately, while i feel sorry for him, he also helped to create that monster somewhat. you put yourself in these situations, those videos come out and then you've got to deal with them because that's the perception people have. that's also the reality of politics. so and, and we have to be honest about that as well. um i and also rick, i think i think this show, i think we're good at being able to say, let's call for humanity for everybody, especially in light of president trump, the attempted assassination. i think this is a time for us to be a little more humane to everybody. yeah. well said, well said, and i think that might be part of the story that might be coming out of the g o. p convention. we're going to find out for ourselves because when we come back, we're going to be heading to milwaukee where we're going to take you to the halls of the republican national convention. and we're going to be talking to andrew long

. she's a delegate from florida. she's going to join us to talk about the mood. it should be a happy mood, right? should be a happy gathering. we're gonna find out from angie when we come back. you stay right there, the the, the, [000:00:00;00]

the the, the that welcome back. i'm rick sanchez. joining us now is angie wong. she is a columnist. she's also a republican strategist, and she's also a full out trump loyalist who's there to officially caster ballad on behalf of the former president. uh, angie, i mean uh,

given the news coming out of the democratic side, giving the news coming out of the white house. and given the poles that i have seen recently, add to that what just happened the other day where the former president looked all but heroic after someone tried to shoot him. i mean, the moved there must be getting at the g o p convention. now. absolutely, look, they wanted us to have the funeral for donald trump this week instead were delivering him on the ballot for november 5th along with j. d. vance is running mates. and so it didn't work. you guys all the law fair and also the warfare and the bullets that we're seeing, nothing stopping this. trump train. i think that's frustrating. the democrats, they've got a lot of moves to make between now and november 5th. i don't even know if that's enough time for them to make it, but clearly they're seeing that they're, it's trump, is completely unstoppable at this point. what, what are your meg?

i mentioned earlier that really the folks at the republican convention need to just mind their piece and cues and get out of the way. don't make too much noise, don't make mistakes, don't say or do anything stupid. and yeah, we watch that video of mag gates with mccarthy, of how much of that is there? how much of that is prevalent that a guard versus new guard that's really at the taking place and the republican party do you see it? and unfortunately, i saw that incident incident with kevin mccarthy and gates live book dates had his people there with their phones, recording the entire thing they wanted a viral clip. it is so clear that that was stage on his part, shame on him for even bringing that kind of messy nest onto the r and c convention . this convention is not about mac dates, but he wants to turn the media towards him and his team knows how to do this stuff . and unfortunately, he does have a lot so much so that even someone, you know,

dumb is me, can call them out on it. take a quick look at this and find a way this got really nasty. there were a lot of bad words that we had to bleep out of there because they were really going after each other. these 2, well what, what do you think of a, of the mat gates is and the others in the party who are constantly trying to, as you say, get a lot of attention, you know, in, in many cases i'll tell you some of the arguments they raised there, correct. i mean they, they are taking on the, the, the institutional republicans and by extension republicans, i'm talking about the chinese and the bushes and the mccain. factions that are still within the party. uh how, how do you separate yourself from that old guard or do you think they should? i think that's the whole point of the j. d. vance. trump ticket is to make sure

that this is a mega ticket. right. i mean, clearly, you know, there are lots of considerations in choosing your running mate, me, trump wants to understand that the guy he gets to spend the next couple of years with 24 hours a day. he thought of like, and he better have his back and judy vance would certainly have his back. there is certainly a lot of old guard you know, to, to label. you know, the traditional as the establishment. yeah, it's one thing, but i think gates has to start acting like a statesman for anyone to taken seriously at this point because that's kind of behavior. stage behavior, i know where the age of social media is just not welcomed and it divides the party further. we don't need that right now. the whole message at the r and c convention is unity. and i think that's where you can see in trump's each on thursday. he's completely ripped up his old speech. it's going to be the unity manatee. we mean, the guy got shot, i want to hear about his him being human right now and what that experience was

like. yeah. and by the way, you know, you've heard the news, i'm sure, you know, he said he had written a very negative speech where he was going to really go after a bite and then the democrats. and then he threw that script away. and now he's going to go with something more positive, where he talks about unity after what happened to him. you know, i'm wondering as, as i'm watching this, this, this convention. whether you think that as long as bite and remains the candidate this thing is sold up uh, sold up, i should say. i'm starting to talk like but, but what happens if it doesn't? what happens if they've pushed by now? we just learned moments ago, this just crossed by the way, that apparently uh, shift from california. adam shift has just asked by them to step down below. see, apparently is now doing the same. it's looking like that trajectory met, hold angie if that happens, and what do you think would be the reaction and the republican party? what would be the, the,

the reaction there at the convention like republicans are more than happy to have sleepy joe. uh, be on the ticket. i mean, look, my dogs can probably be jo bite at this point. anyone could be jo by then. it would be such an easy when. uh cnn reported just recently that bite uh right down through round the race trumpet. when by a landslide. no, no, no, but you, you missed my point. we know that obviously we find there, it looks to me like a lock. what if i'm missing there? what do we have to run against the governor of california or the governor? gretchen whitmore, of uh, of michigan. or what have you have to take on michelle obama? what, what do you think would be the reaction? well, i think there's 2 reactions. i don't think anybody on the democratic ticket wants to run against trump, because guess what, that's going to hurt their chances. they know they've got what weeks to run a presidential writ. hm. they're going to lose. so nobody know you've been coming

to a harris. once that and you know, that's something that we don't discuss a lot, but i think that's exactly what's happening. you have what more, and you have gavin newsom. they're saving themselves. so for to 2028. they want an appointment in but clearly what the democrats are doing right now is that they're trying to save all the down valid candidates. they want the congressional races, they want the senatorial races, they want all the down ballot seats. that's all they're able to save at this point . it's too late to run. know the president. you would need such name, power and star power to jump in right now. you literally would need a hollywood star that everyone knew and grew up with to jump in. so go over, so ticket, so that person is george clooney that you just name and actually he's in consideration to be asked to take over the party. he's also one of the top donors and the democratic party. what would you think or what do you think the consensus would be

there at the convention? if that were announced? you know, i choked about that a few weeks ago. i think that's a real possibility at this point. you know, but it has to go off like you have a matter of weeks to run this race. clearly jo biden's out, his entire team knows about it. they're just work. the biden's are working at the best deal. they can to leave. all it's going to take is a big donor to get them out. they're going to make some promises, etc. but, you know, as middle middle us headset just recently, guess what? you know, they're trying to bring up the, the virtual roe call non to august that she said 2 days after that rmc conventions you want to have is on the 21st of july, they have to get them out. and that's because of the money issue. he cannot resign and get off the ticket until he's formally nominated in order to pass the baton to somebody else. yeah, that is what's happening right now. and we're seeing a hollywood script act out. this is act 3,

rec. i can't wait to see the rest of hollywood script. i'm glad you said that you were in the old days. conventions really matter. i mean, you were actually, you would have been there to actually cast a vote for somebody and you didn't know if yours vote was going to be that would elect the next president or choose the next president today. i mean, it's all orchestrated. we know exactly what's going to happen. there's no surprises coming out of this convention. and there might be surprises in the democratic convention. we don't know yet. does that bother you? do you wish we, we can still go back to a time when these things were not just shows orchestrated by hollywood producers. it really is, i mean i'm here at the r and c convention and i'll tell you it's like going into the oscars. the, the entire thing is scripted, you know, that clip that you paid played a, mike, a speaker, mike johnson. yeah. where he, you know, couldn't read off the teleprompter. i see the tele prompters, they're large, you know, every single script is written out word for word, and it's all about the deliveries. i really appreciate it. some of the speeches,

especially from the everyday marriage, can the non politicians going up there? they're reading off a teleprompter too, but they're crying on stage because guess what? they just lost to saw and or they just lost a child. yeah. or, you know, or they had a family member killed to illegals, you know, crossing the board or whatever it is, their stories are, they're reading off a teleprompter as well. all of this unfortunately, is that yeah, yeah. well listen, it's great having you there and having you share your perspective from the inside and we thank you so much for sharing it with us. thank you. and you have a great day and that's our show. remember, always be looking outside your own box when you're looking for truths, cuz truths don't live in boxes. as part of our mantra, i'm rick sanchez, will be looking for you. next time. the.

the, the other way locks americans as the comfortable with the brother printer, but the new ones are out there. so some of this will be slippers associated with me. the last thing was these really almost and when we used to live, imagine we have support for someone who was this, we would show new people to the, the

since world war 2, united states has fostered extremist anti russian prejudices and hatreds among the ukrainian de asked for, and at least in canada, united states and countries in eastern europe, probably everywhere in the world. it doesn't matter what these groups say or do. they will support them if it is, the groups are causing hatred and chaos within the target country. so it might done choose that it should consecrate deal or sort of do well as low as one of the some of the myself, it just means that the printer was interested in the portal. let me see, i see a use is anyone at any time if there's

a religion the the question this about is to enter. i did it in a week 11 of the hardware support on the planet are to senior correspondent and spent time at a hot sector on the front line where russian troops are pushing back new premiums forces. inexpensive comments to our, to the i was supposed to move in promises to bring the scandalous photos of a ukrainian militant displaying a hitler quote that the former death camps to the attention of polish ending crane in authority. also it has the republican senators are on the hunt for answers following the assassination attempt
