so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy from foundation. let it be an arms race is on all sides. very dramatic. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the

the prime rick sanchez. i've been doing this uh, this thing we call news now for some 30 years. i've done it in 2 different languages and i've done it all over the world. and obviously here in the united states, i've interviewed for us presidents i've interviewed for and leaders, i've founded a $1000000000.00 business. and throughout all of that, what i've learned is that we, when we communicate should be honest. and we should be direct. and we should be impactful. and this, this is direct impacts the, the, i want to start today with something that we really,

really need to talk about. why is it that our political system is the way it is? and maybe, maybe it's time to change it. but let me start with this. never before in our country's history, have we been so divided? it's almost as if people in the united states right now are 2 different countries. there's one country of republicans, and there is another country of, of democrats. and the question really is this, why? how come right? why do we have to choose between one and the other? why can't we agree to disagree or agree with both types? and why do we give so much power to parties that many times put their needs above our needs?

chairman, we have the e mail, there is no free time charge. you do not have the tie between the one directly control the grand roger mass gone. it was over for mass going, mr. georgia. raskin, mr. jordan, want to talk about mr. jordan, this is galen white with the devil's experts airline reservation. why don't we do it? because apparently, the need to beat each other up is more important to these parties. then the need to serve us, in other words, beating the other party is worth more than the interest of the country itself. and what's worse about all of this? is that now each party has its own means of communication. no, i mean, i'm not kidding. think about, think about this for a minute. look around right. there are newspapers that only present republican points of view. there are other newspapers that only present democrats

points of view. there are television networks that only present news for republicans. they just want you to hear what they think you fick. right. and there are also television networks that only report news for democrats. so we almost have to ask ourselves then, right. should there be competition between political parties? yeah, i understand. we should have a context of ideas, right? but i deals shouldn't just be limited to 2 ways of thinking. social psychologist, i'm going to tell you that when there are only 2 options we become or we're more, i have to be divided more more locked into our ideologically, you know, rigid stances. right. in other words, we stop thinking. yeah. could it be that this is exactly what these parties

want for us to be constantly that all right, i wanna show you something i want to show you this. this is, this is a fascinating study that i'm going to share with you right now. it's a study they did over at pw is pure research study and it's kind of incredible. so look at this from 2016 to the present. a percentage of republicans who think democrats are essentially liars, increased from 45 percent to 72 percent. so whatever they hated before they hated more now. while at the same time they asked democrats the same question. who do they think? what do they think about republicans? and they to said that they think republicans are liars, and that number increased from 42 percent to 64 percent. so the thought process has only increased more recently from 2016 on the fact that it seems by looking at

this study that they've never hated them so much. they've never hated each other so much. here's another one. when republicans are asked if they think the democrats are immoral. that number goes from 47 percent into 202016 to 72 percent. now, same thing as joe and democrats. they're asked the same exact question. and there the whole immoral thing goes from 35 percent before to 63 percent now and look at how they behave when they come together or not in protests, all over the country. the mean, you see that you think we almost act as if we're not americans,

but rather enemies. there's no question that there is at this particular point. busy assuming that a crisis in the united states, a crisis of division in the crisis of hate, is it possible that it is designed to create division that suits various interests? which is, which is why it, it seems to be growing and growing each and every year and nobody seems to be able to corrales these feelings of antipathy. and by the way, the media, the media rather than telling us important stories continues to perpetuate this stuff. so why not then other parties, why not other ideas? and maybe the most important question of all, as we look at this, why so much hate? and joining us now is monique of dual, he's a radio hose, he's also

a republican strategist. you're right, i want to talk about this because i think this is a fascinating subject by the way, hey, let's go for a month goes. we're talking about a lot. all right, but not really any. we talked about it typically in sound bikes. so, you know, i think we have a bit longer to 3 minutes to talk about it. thank god. why does america have a 2 party system that seems to be not working a, to me, i want to know what you think and kind of creating havoc in this country. an awful lot of, hey, wouldn't you say to? yeah, it's, it's, it's a do awfully system. i think a large part of it has to do with you know, i'll back up a bit. so i think about what we talk about on the radio show. we talked about geo politics, a lot of issue. yeah. and you see in places all around the world, not, not miss, not what's happening in south america right now. but in places around the world, how they challenge their governments, how big protest industries. you see,

what's it you've been following? what's been happening in europe. we see the protests that have been in paris and broad, i mean, probably getting brussels in all industries in response to various things. whether that's the um you know, who's the support, you know, whether that is in protest up the government's involvement in the, um, well the involvement in the military operation versus military operation in your crime. choosing sides in that sense, the impact that those decisions with the things you have had on therapy, economies. you see the really protesting industry to about storing the energy prices towards food products is me see places around europe where they are no longer i get your point and you're saying what that because we have a 2 party system. we don't see the soap loose uh, leaking there point i. yeah. so i think what happens here in america because we

don't challenge our government like that. we only challenge our government like that when it comes to think of race best. typically what my problem is. okay. uh, but uh, let me stop. yeah, a minute. i like where you're going. uh, let me then suggest this. and the reason we don't challenge our government is because the government has given us 2 sides to challenge. so we'll either say something about the republicans or the conservatives, or will say something about the democrats and the lives and the liberals. but that, that works. i guess for the people running the government, because they never, they never get the attention. because the tension goes to the parties and stuff. sounds like a good plan. well, of course all of this is by design. i don't think it's by design or not, but the point that i was making is that the, we accept this as

a nor look at what to look at our political system where we continue election after election after election. we talked about the party, the problem with the partner, and whether it's a republican or democrat, i lived or in washington dc. we just had him a euro election where the mayor was attacked for not doing enough, not caring about, you know, different groups in the city. and people didn't go out in the street and protest against that. we set these things as normal and we don't push back against our government in the same way that we see in places other places around the country as well. but the reason we don't push back against our government is because instead we think it's only one side of the government. that's right. and the other one is wrong rather than bad things fairly. but there's this new study i was just sharing it with uh, with our viewers, uh, the vast majority of republicans from 2016 to the day. now think by far more

by of the 2030 points are as high as 2030 points. that democrats are immoral and democrats, big republicans are a moral, same thing as dishonest, same as close minded. same is not intelligent. so more and more americans think the other guy is stupid, is a liar. and these numbers keep increasing to the point where what we have are people living in silos? no one's looking at what the government's doing. they're looking at the squirrels. yes. and, and that is an excellent point. and i think for i, and i often talked about this, i think a lot of it has to do with social media that you know, the is the popularity of social media. because if you think of with our politics, what may be brock obama was the 1st, i guess you could say social media president. yeah. you know, all of the twitter, well, facebook and all of those. they really kind of got there for the women. so he was

able to capitalize on that, but look at what was happening online because the things that were being set on on both sides. so if you dare criticize the rock obama for nbc, whether able to valid criticism or not, you ever exist as any other inc, molly, the parties have too much power and i'll just give you an example. there's no way in hell that you're going to convince me that most democrats would have voted for joe by to the democratic party, decided that joe biden should be the president. it seemed to me just following the election back when that was taking place. most people were leaning toward either bernie sanders or maybe elizabeth warren or somebody else, but the party said no, you guys all have to come together. we're going to put joe up there. i mean, some people didn't think of the party back to. right. well, i think the party always fixed that donald trump was an interruption of that because the party didn't take the wrong. yeah. yeah,

that's exactly. typically what happens is the party, they have a look at what happened in 20162016. well, in fact we knew in 2009, we were rock. obama took offices gallery plants, it was the 6 was made secretary of state, but, you know, don swainsburg, secretary state, we knew then that she was going to be the nominee in 2016 right. but didn't care about they didn't care about joe biden. in right, oh by that was the 2nd. if you will, most powerful person in the entire world. no one loves no job. i didn't. they didn't like to buy them in 2020. he was a better option for outside of the establishment. he was a better option than donald trump, but the is that they decided jo by this is now this is this term, and he was able to sell this to worry about how it was done, you know, charlottesville and all of this. and he wants to restore the soul of america. that

was never when we come back, i want to look at it from a different framework. let's look at the kind of systems that exist in other countries. let's ask how many other countries have a strict 2 party system like we have here in the united states. and how is that going? and by the way, i wanna share with you something i have a pod cast, whereas a journalist and has a lot the, you know, and the co founder of a 4000000000 dollar company. i share my stories with you and i share with you what i've learned and i talk a little bit about success and growth. it's called the rick sanchez podcast, and i advise you to check it out and i'm going to be looking for you there. but when we come back, let's look at something else. who is more close minded in this system? is it the republicans? is that the democrats, new research, i'll be sharing the

the, the, the the body of 3 people. so for instance, coming up with is

what the somebody loved to have to choose between you. if you want to get to the store, why, why the next this goes to up to leave it up there. the word made that up, we have the beat was off of the cool my lot. so shift you things to get suitable for something that you, all of this opportunity might not mid july seventy's was offered for bringing, such as

promised by that i want to show you what other study in this particular piece of research they ask americans who has a close mind or maybe who has the most closed lives. right. but the democrats, when asked, say it's the close minded republicans in 2016. that percentage of democrats was 70 percent. and now it's 83 percent. sorry. was that was high. 73 percent. obviously even higher, right. same goes for republicans to 52 percent of republicans in 2016 years to say the democrats have a small close binds. now that's up to 69 percent. you see the pattern here. so why does this continue to happen? right? was because democrats don't know what republicans are watching. then democrats don't know what republicans are reading republicans don't know what democrats are

reading or watching. they live in 2 different worlds, completely isolated from one another. that's why and we're back with the league of due to a talk about why it is the united states as a 2 party system. and is it working evidence new research seems to indicate the americans have never been so silos never been so divided and more and more americans feel like they're not really choosing their leaders corporations are. so i did a little studying malik, and i look to see what other countries have a system like ours. i was surprised, not very many. the united states, the bahamas, jamaica ends above. we was the only countries in the entire world that have a strict 2 party system. everybody else has a 3 or 4. why is that? are you surprised by the way, when i tell you that no.
