was, was to take the spotlight off of the president's apparent, you know, mental incapacity. so they call m 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. biden's mental problems. um, so nbc knows presenter lester hold sits down with the president united states and ask 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 him and be officially nominated, what happens if you have another episode like we saw during the debate?

what happened and what else? what happened is if, if you have another performance on that part that on that level 2, he's already had another performance on that level. i mean, lester. hate my old buddy. where have you been? i mean, he just called the landscape. he just called cala harris. trump, that's 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 of the salon magazine. there's a headline, it says pelosi is working, the phone's out biden,

as the democratic mutiny continues. and you know why this is so important because nancy pelosi controls the donor pull. she controls the money manila, what's more important than that? a 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 dole ring. she controls the purse strings. but this, this in parties fighting the intra party fighting is going to have to get hammered out very soon. because look, 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 teenagers to natalie do yes, because they need to solidify biden's nomination or not by then. 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, more 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 going to wind. however, last night we saw evidence of that long standing work between the old republican 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 are you speaking tonight? if you took that you would get food office

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. young. at least the band sounded good. the boss started. okay. 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 think 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 right? like 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 out our politics, guess what's happening in other parts of the world. and this is important countries in the global south countries from bricks, 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 going to 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 kinda odd when you consider the history of what japan 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. well, before we get into that, rick, let me take us back about a week ago, last week, during the nato summit. huh. and the group, the collective group, basically called china and enabler of the, the war in ukraine that they were enabling russia's war on ukraine. those are their words not mine. citing, citing the so called know limits partnership between china and russia. 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 a tube, nato of

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, this 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 wink wink 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, at 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. busy 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

company at old man. i'll tell you. um, i've said this before when i've showed you videos of mr. biden stumbling and mumbling, i feel bad for him, and i'll say the same thing about originally i watch that video and i, i kind of feel bad for him. i mean, 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 out 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's 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 to human policy. right. i think should be extended to rudy giuliani. he's 80 years old. yeah. 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 though 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 the 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 to 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, so talking 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

release of russian states never as one of the most sense community best most i'll send send up the in the 65 with the keys 195 and speed. the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on russia to day and split the ortiz food. even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the senior citizens stephen twist, which is the

sense for war. 2, united states has fostered extremist and 2 russian prejudices and hatreds among the ukrainian. they ask for austin, 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 it will support them if it is,

the groups are causing patriot and chaos within the target country. joe or get might done on the choose the country joe, or sort of you will as well as one of the middle. i know myself. it just means that the potential was usually just $50.00 when the ca uses anyone at any time if there's a religion 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 castro 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 at 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 matt gates with mccarthy, of how much of that is there? how much of that is prevalent, that old 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 the kevin mccarthy and gates lot 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 him 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 many cases all tell you some of the arguments they raise their correct. i mean they, they are taking on the, the, the institutional republicans advice to ensure a public, as 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 and 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 and trump speech 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 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, 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 c 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 in 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 joe biting at this point. anyone could be jo bite and 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? would it be? i 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, what do you think would be the reaction as 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 me. they're going to lose. so nobody, no,

even come to la harris wants 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, do some, they're saving themselves. so $4.00 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 valid 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 out the best deal they can to leave. all it's gonna 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 roll call non to august that she said 2 days after that rmc convention, you don't want to have this 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 warranty convention. 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, the 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 some of the speeches, especially from the everyday mer. 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 border, whatever it is, their stories are, they're reading off a teleprompter as well. all of this unfortunately, is with 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 troops, cuz troops don't live in boxes. as part of our mantra, i'm rick sanchez. will be looking for you. next time. the, the,

the one with the for wonderful, those little and so forth. us national, move the images on some ground squared amount. that's why little do you plus really watch the dealer words the which isn't going to use it with me as well. when i go in store and liberal stuff, you just send them a bumps in the stove box and you will have in here when you push the issue of the of them box and move up to move 0. mr. somebody anything you go ahead and send them to do is make up the bell. i don't yeah. post the by the other was like if i use the yeah, i was thinking and then use waste that i mean 58 and i maybe cause it please go ahead and i'll just communicate that me through

a couple of national minds. but it just those we have the we have such all push mojitos to you will lose the deal in space, but i don't think he will definitely stays for little each of the but your move if you want to spend these, these pretty big news. the i'm saying is that, but then you've got thrown and this is the one and then the other will be missing. the done thing is um, unless of course the movies is always in my hands, not old on the side of me, things like that. but now i'm sort of the

probably her mother's storage. okay. the model girl that i got you. no problem seem to them out of the arguments. yeah. side of the drive i showed my brother through, he was sudden to help people for a lo so now i never looked at searches as being the same. well, i guess i lost my list. that's the outcome of chicago police. it'd be gang chicago is like, you get for the police. you really think your life as another crap thing. another this could have been a doctor. a nurse could have been the next president. ok,

keep losing people out here the the, him. so what i just you it and then it's get close to the boy is shipped a lot of shaky. she'll do to me and then i see it the most as a command, let's say skim hijacks. yeah. probably just do it for less while and then probably in you look at as prosecutors have come to the house or self proclaimed pause.
