me media report, citing the indian controlled cache where authorities also claimed the arms have been distributed by militant groups fighting over the disputed area. well, to give you a sense of the scope here, the pentagon admit some 300000 weapons were left behind in afghanistan. that's out of the 420000 deployed to 2 local forces. the defense department estimates the cost of the abandoned arms that over $7000000000.00 among the hardware did store aircraft vehicles, munitions and other weapons were used. troops withdrew from afghanistan in august 2021. after the taliban took control of the capital. washington left the war torn country in the midst of a dire economic crisis. retired us air force, lieutenant colonel. karen could tell. ski told us america doesn't care whether us minutes or a goes after it's delivered the way that we give aid and not just the united states, but other countries as well is um, uh there's a lot of money and very little impact to it. there's very little objective

measurements to even what that aid is supposed to produce. so we're not paying close attention. we're with the agencies like the state department, the pentagon usa id that provide aid. they are rewarded for how many units of aid and money they can deliver. not for the fall of through, not for the impact and not paying much attention to what happens after it's been delivered. we're kind of feeding our own beast in, in the sense of, of how we are doing this. is that creates problems. us, the weapons that go elsewhere, fraud, waste, abuse in reaching oligarchs, whatever it is that all of this a does. that's really not an american problem. because the dollars the tax dollars were spent domestically and they had a positive political impact domestically. so the last is really doesn't care. in

fact, it gives them more to complain about in more justification for the military industrial complex. oh, we have people who have the weapons that shouldn't have them. oh we, we should get involved in an intervention. we do this to maintain an ability to influence events and now to some small extent and then potentially in the future should afghanistan become become of interest to the united states government at some future time. well, not to bangladesh for the straits of dock. i have been taken over by a wave of student protests. a high security alert has been issued for the whole of bangladesh as violent classes continue. of the hundreds and demonstrators are demanding that new quote is for government jobs be canceled the system. so it allows state employers to favor freedom fighters,

family members, as well as indigenous and the disabled people. students argue the quote, as most recent number of government jobs available to them. place hard tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowds as 19 people have already died. recent protests over similar quotas in public sector. so authority is shut or university campuses across the country. they believe that she prime minister has announced an official investigation into the death. all right, let's look at the news for the for now in the meantime. be sure to visit our website to r t dot com for the very latest breaking news and updates by the the hey, everybody have rick sanchez. this is direct impact, and this is what we're going to be talking about today. my background is very

different from gds, that is something you don't see every day. who is the i'm gonna tell you i said just this is direct impact. let's do it. of the so let's get started. i watch something last night i thought was really, really cool. you know, political conventions, they don't usually offer up any news or for that matter. anybody that's different, you know, same old, same old, bought a choreographed stuff. that is not the case with what, what i'm about to show you here now is somebody new somebody different somebody who can hopefully, hopefully offer up some fresh ideas and god, we need them. this is the woman who could very well soon become the 2nd lady of the united states, the wife of j. d. babs, osha vance. here she is. my background is very different from gds. i grew up in san

diego in a middle class community, the with 2 loving parents, both immigrants from india, and a wonderful sister that j. d. and i could meet at all, little and fall in love in mary is a testament to this great country. when ged met me, he approached our differences with curiosity and enthusiasm. he wanted to know everything about me, where i came from, what my life had been like a. although he's a meeting potatoes kind of guy. he adapted to my vegetarian diet and learn to cook food for my mother indian food. before i knew it, he had become an integral part of my family, a person i could not man, could not imagine living without the good good for her good for her family. the

chill occurs and for the immensely successful, successful and family oriented, indian american communities that are in the united states just today and, and who are friends and our colleagues, right. and in many ways, on a personal note, i'm going to regret my parents brought me to this country because they felt that would be good for me and for my brothers at the time. and i relate to the story of hard working people who come to this country, tell the stories of their moms and dads and how hard they work and sacrifice to bring them to this country. and i was, so i was, you know, i was happy to see that last night as an immigrant watching the g o p convention. not something you would've seen so much of in the past, but you're seeing it now. good for her. good for them. good for the g o p. i don't know manila, but do you think? yeah, same rick, i am the child of emeralds. the 1st american born in my family i could relate. so

here's this new face, right of the g o. p. osha, along with the vic, rama swami, both south asian kids, born to immigrant parents from india. c. unlike nikki haley before them. these 2 have actually put there at nesta beach front and center it, which is unusual for the republican party who usually try to skirt around someone's ethnicity, you know, putting party and country at the for that's sort of an unspoken truism. i think in the g o p, they don't want to make down to the politics a topic which was fair, but to ignore it is foolish. here diversity can work in their favor as a striker in their party to show that the new guard welcomes new comers that better reflect america's diversity. and will show that. i mean, here she has this polish ivy lean california in accomplished woman in her own right

. you know, she's an attorney at one point. she was a clerk at the supreme court. yeah. you know, luxury and osha or not. one thing is for sure. a wreck. they are young. they're a millennial couple. and interracial marriage, they have mixed kids. and they will have an impact on american politics going forward. we have a word for that in our culture. i'm hispanic obviously, and we call it but about others, which means they come to the world and they offer up stuff because they're prepared . i guess in english we would call but educated people. she's educated. so is he good to see mean, well, in the politics as usual segment, the president of the united states stumbled and mumbled, and once again, i think having to save is all the time. this time president biden was speaking of the most historically important group of african americans in the united states. the n double a c p, and here is what he said. corporate profits are double searched within them.

they keep the prices that we have to bring pressure down further. look folks, no idea. yeah, i the corporate own house is able to raise your rent $3400.00 a month or something. and i'm about to announce it can't raise it more than $55.00. oops. he didn't. you notice how he's looked in the teleprompter this evening? what, what does it say? does that it's a good policy. the teleprompter said 5 percent, and somehow he got from 5 percent 55 dollars. i don't know how he did that, which makes absolutely no sense because the rents are different. so you can't give it a $55.00 by the way, the initiative to try and control rep increases is important. it is a good idea. manila housing right now is a huge problem in the united states and,

and it's in large measure being caused by private equity companies who are buying up everything they possibly can. and they're screwing people over by doubling the rent, monopolizing entire areas of the apartment buildings, providing horrible maintenance to to boat. 5 percent limit is not a bad idea or whatever the percentages, but apparently the president doesn't even know his own policy. i don't know. let's hear it, let's just go on cuz there's not much you can say, i mean what, how many times the last 5 adam shift came out. i know from california, said publicly, give me a gentleman to let me see if she's smiling. are you mad at me? i'm making fun of you. uh so, so adam shift comes out last night, your buddy from california. he says he's done with president biden, wants him out. so what used to be it was for campaign among democrats is now screaming match, so loud and so forceful. they may have finally gotten to him, watch what happened manila last night, which one is making

a lot of people think it's, it's, it's over watch. we are inside this massive ball room with several gas or waiting to hear from president biden. and he was running late, which is not unusual because he had other events. he had an interview scheduled right before this. and so we thought he was just running a little bit behind. but then the ceo of unit goes usa, the organization that was growing this event made this stunning announcement on the stage telling. guess that a president biden was deeply sorry, but he was not going to make it tonight because he had just tested positive for corvette. he wanted to focus on his health and of course did not want to get anybody sick. all of a sudden the president of co with questions do you mind already? does he really have coverage or is that just going to be his reason for stepping down since he recently said the only reason that he would step down as if he had

some kind of medical condition? well, that's a medical condition and, and if he is stepping down, why is the dns. busy dnc them moving up and making virtual makes you get a virtual roll call nomination of the president. as you 1st reported yesterday, right here on the show what, what, what is going on? my dear colleague. well 1st i got to ask, did the reporter there, does she mean needles? is there, i'm not sure what she was saying unit though i yeah, i'm not sure if it was the the hispanic caucus that's in las vegas, which would make sense if it was we need those, but she has their own way of pronouncing tests. you know, i don't know, i wasn't sure i wasn't clear if it was a different group. i think to figure that out. i think it is only those which means united. oh i think that's what you meant to said but either way, but the fact that all of a sudden the last minute the president says, oh, i'm out. i have cove it. yeah. yeah. i don't know. i'm thinking i, i yeah, i says cover story. yeah. me too. i think all the walls are caving in,

unfortunately, around poor old joe biden. even the obama is leaking leaking, as they say, information to the washington post. nancy pelosi, adam chef, who is my congressman? from the burbank area where i went to college. that's why. a he represents, he's jocking for the senate seat that was vacated by dianne feinstein in the next upcoming special election, which he's due to get. he is the chief russia gate guy coming from all of capitol hill. he was the guy that was always talking about russia gate. he seems to be in the know about what's going on with the party and there's 2 factions here. so rick, we need to point out. there are the, the names that you and i are familiar with. the adam shift the nancy police, see even the donor class like george clooney. obviously, the obama's, the names that we know that are coming out publicly and, and rallying for joe to step aside and let somebody else take the torch. but then

it's the names that we don't ever know that are the real movers and shakers. i believe that are still trying to push joe to the finish line at why until election day. why are they getting the telling me is there, but they had the money. is there the let's say that they can't run somebody else. this late in the game. i think is what the, the, the in fighting is all about. it's all about the dough wreck. well even if you were to run someone else and that whoever that someone else is, i know you, you, you keep doing out that name george clooney. but that's because you think he's an almost as handsome as i am a to you i my wife said the same thing, resorted by the way she grades with you. but even if they were to put mickey mouse out there, given the numbers that i saw last night, 14 states that he won, he's now losing if you go by just the numbers that we see right now, manila, there is no way in god's green earth that joe biden could be donald trump,

it's over essentially numeric. great. i agree. so why would we show what anybody else? him, him speaking at the end, double a c p event. earlier in the day where he made the, the floods of $55.00 versus 5 percent. the, the black vote there is no coincidence. there is no coincidence here, right? he's lost about 7 or 8 perhaps at this point, 9 percent of the black vote, and donald trump, exactly in the opposite direction gain. those say exactly exactly the joe biden last are, there's no coincidence here. i don't see a path to victory for joe by the i. uh so you this, i had a conversation with some folks this morning who are somewhat in the know who said in 2 or 3 days he will announce that he's out. and that's the reason for the co would thank you disagree. i know i agree. i just that's what i think this is the perfect cover story. he already mentioned health. just coincidental. yeah, exactly. for our 36 hours ago. and now he's got coded for like the 20th time i have

i but by the way i have to fix middle i'm, i have a fantastic weekend, enjoy yourself and your my pals. so thank you. and let me know whenever you want to do another commercial for the state of california, and i'll brag about florida, florida in california. so here's what's going on. something interesting just happened between new cream and bella. ruth's. now it's quite the opposite of what the western media has been telling us what's going on between ukraine and beller is . and when i come back, i'm going to take that story to a former product on official marketing lose. you're going to see his smiling face right about now, right there areas, by golly market, this is fascinating. and it's funny how when this happened, we got a lot of information from the media and now crickets absolutely nothing. we're going to talk about that you stay right there will be right back the

the, the, so i wanna bring you up to date on this story cuz uh, i found this, uh, welcome back. by the way, i found this next, or a very, very curious because it's one of those where we hear something that isn't true. and then when it's corrected or changes, we're expecting to hear a follow up from the media. but we don't hear a follow up from the media. so here's what it is for more than a year. now,

the state department, president biden, and the media have been warning that notice that this bore a new crane was going to be escalating. of course, it was really no proof of that. it was pretty more of a border skirmish at the time. so when there were tensions between bell arose, which is on the other side of ukraine and ukraine itself. they made a huge deal out of it. you know, troops are moving into the area. oh my god, the fighting is going to soon be and bella rose and it's going to move into poland . pretty soon all of europe is going to be concentrated, and etc, etc. right? well, not only, not only did that not happen, not only did that not happen, but there's now this report that actually shows that whatever troops were there near the borders of ukraine, and, uh and, and bella rouge right there in that, uh, uh, western side of, uh, ukraine, they're gone. here's the story and says pretty much the the bell origin president, alexander lucas jenco, is now saying, yeah,

we had some troops deployed there during tensions, but those troops are gone. we pulled them out. they're no longer there. we got nothing there. by the way, the ukrainian troops are also not there. so let me, let me, let me bring in my guess now michael maloof who's a former pentagon that correspondence so. busy they're not there and of course the media, michael is now coming out and correcting the story and, and saying that what they had reported before wasn't really true, right? wrong. if it weren't for hudson, a few others out there were reporting this story. everybody would still think it's the status, quotes, threats that this thing is going into your, of that there's going to be expansionism on the part of russia and it's military. and now the bell region president is in cahoots with uh, with a mr. boot and etc, etc. if it's wrong and it's frustrating that they would say that and that they wouldn't correct it. now that the new information is out there. what do you, sir, as well, they always want to cast a bad light on,

on the russian side. and there is no evidence that the moscow intends to go into your that's been made very, very clear me over and over again by i missed appointment. and frankly, we see no indications of warnings that that is actually actually a crime. what we see however, are the expansionist and ambitions by nato forces, one of the native wise, if you could use that, we're not both ukraine and georgia and their, their russian troops are in bella roofs. there's no question about that. they have, they have nuclear capabilities. now in bel air rows, frankly, ukraine cannot, can no longer guard the entire border and then try to defend its positions all along, up and down, down boss and lou hans regions. and if they don't have the troops, they don't have the, the fire power. and, and, and now the russians,

i think, are, are planning to move in to certain areas now and, and, and solidify the, the russian speaking areas at the request by the way of dressing speakers in the past and, and of us i am and the residents cannot keep up with the i am the ukrainians cannot keep up with my reading and this is as of last night when i was trying to and, and it's hard because none of the maps are ever correct. and some of that is understandable because this thing is an ongoing thing. but and also because most of the maps are put together by western agencies. but even the western agencies and the think tanks, i put these math together, are now showing what even zelinski seems to be intimating at this time. and that is that the gig is all but up for him, sees out of troops, he's about to be out of ammunition. and even the patriot missiles that they have sent them are so and to be gone as well because they're being picked off by

a russian air defenses and a russian fighter jets, i should say not to mention drugs. so. busy where do you see this thing going on? how do you think as being suggested, michael, this thing might be over pretty soon. it's been over frankly. and so let's, the just refuses to accept that. he's ready to fire is a most recent general. and consequently, because he feels that even that general has basically said, his commanding general has sent the gigs up. and um and, and so it is a predecessor who was summarily fired and then became the ambassador to the u. k. but, but it's, it's clear now that the ukraine does not have that capability. they, even though is the list, it's the live scheme seems to be holding on. and the only authority that seems to exist in that country now, because there is martial law is there parliament,

there rada is, they call it. and, and even there, the head of the rada is a list of the clone. so, and he's that, that person could sue or could actually enter it in negotiations with the russians, but won't because of the lisky. speaking of that, uh theres uh word out today that the president. so lensky is now back tracking and is saying he would be willing to sit down and start discussions with a russian delegation in so far as president, poor is not part of that delegation. what do you make of that? well, they had the 2 years ago with the internet symbol, they had an agreement, they had an initial, an agreement until the 4th johnson came in and said, don't do it. the question is, why is boris johnson and outside interference from the united states as well. dictating to the ukrainians and, and, and, and as

a consequence has gotten tens of thousands of more ukrainians killed. yeah. but there's a different but hold on. there's a difference michel of you're right and what you're stating is absolutely true. and i think the whole world knows it, and we've reported it on several occasions. but i think that situation 2 years ago was one where at least the western media was reporting that ukraine had the military advantage at the time. i think now it's pretty obvious even in western media that ukraine does not have the military advantage. in fact, it's quite the opposite. so, him going to the table. now i would argue, maybe you think i'm wrong, is very different in terms of the environment from him going to the table 2 years ago as well. he's talked about, he's now talking about one of the sit down and talk that is new. but what he hasn't relinquished are just requirements for sitting down and talking, and that is the rush. it gives up all of its territory. it's not that it took over

in floating crime, you and that up and that the poor be put up for a trial. it's not going to happen. yeah, i mean, the terms are just ridiculous. that's why russians are saying, look, the russians will not attend, then that's the landscape peace conference, simply because it's all rate that the, the whole recent switch peace conference, which in which the russians were not invited was a hoax. how much it was a joke, how much do you think uh, if, because it seems to be, you don't seem to think so, but i do. i think we're seeing different zelinski right now. i think we're seeing a zalinski who's in a little bit of a panic mode. i think he's always riddle riddled with anxiety about what's going on . and, and i also think that he's uh, starting to see the tea leaves in terms of uh, biden's, horrible, horrible credibility notes that he's going through right now. as well as the very,

very good possibility that donald trump will be the next part of the united states . and he's putting all that together and i think he's wondering what he can do to get the best out of a bad situation. what do you, what, what the, you're gonna have? you're gonna have to sit down and negotiate. otherwise, russia could enhance that. it's uh, it's all fences and, and consolidate everything. uh well, j. d vance is totally anti, uh, uh, ukraine funded on the yeah. further. yeah. it is there that so okay, so let's, let's, let's take this picture and put the color on it as you well, if it, as it were, i'm thinking if we were to continue down this end, the mind trump gets into the presidency. zalinski has to come to the table. he tells he says, we need a truth. what, what does that truth look like? i mean, does the washer just maybe go to what do they not have now?

they don't have odessa. do they go to odessa and then say ok, we're good, you can have the rest. do you think that's what the situation will end up like? well, he is landscape has been promised about a dozen more uh, patriot units under, under, by under the, by the administration. members, they've got, we got about another 5 months, 6 months left. and he will probably hold up to the very end. and in the, in the meantime, i think the russians will met consolidate, and they will ultimately take back your car and off and ultimately odessa, they are right. oh, definitely, mary. yeah. what, what good does it take you to have patriot missiles, if you don't have people who know how to use them or fire as well as that, that is it has that stops from getting them before that it's just more targets. mm hm. yeah. and i guess if you're a military contractor in the united states, good. that now you know the story that we can like money. yeah, sure, of course, but the, it's, it's, it's a sad case sense, but as a, ultimately, it's

a mix of useless expenditure of taxpayers. money. you worked at the kind of got, we've got 30 seconds left, one of the people who make these decisions. and why did they make them? what's, what's behind this kind of ridiculous policy making? is it just really money? i'm there, pentagon officials, why would they do that? they don't make more money. does not in control in this administration. the pentagon's not in control. when i was there during rumsfeld, he was definitely, he's right. he was very much in control. he is the national security about us. yeah . and and also, and also the secretary of state. they are, they are the ones. these are the ultimate vehicles that are pushing the you prior to, and it's gonna fall flat on that space. certainly looks that way and you know what? it's always a pleasure to talk to you. michael, thanks so much. i hope you and the family and everything is good. thank you. i like to say thanks for having. are it good to see that's our show. remember to always look outside your own box. we'd like to think of the truths don't live in boxes, and that's why we use that as our mission. i'm rick sanchez and i'll be looking for

you again. right here. next to the jo biden's catastrophic debate performance and the attempted assassination of donald trump. i shuddered. many narrow escapes about american politics binding isn't sharp is attacked, and trump isn't an ex essential thread. officially sags from narratives in the deep position. the deep sort of the west of the west on was death is deceptive. not to be got the books to be the only the delegates of good and just the

the, our top story, ukrainian politician torina foreign has died after being shot in the head and the west for new print in city of live off the far right nationalist was known for slamming neo nazi as of battalion fighters that used to the russian language. israel has the fact to and next to occupied westbank in violation of international law that the damming verdict from the un pop ford at the hey, an unprecedented i. t outage of re how big on digital worldwide of a corporate american cyber security firm. cloud strike is this for is the link to us intelligence also has there was blood during everywhere and yet in a certain way i felt very safe because i had god on my side.
