i think that's largely true on, but you know, how many times have we seen what's early on in the elections? right. where, you know, you had jeff bush was the front runner. scott walker, rudy giuliani. i mean we go on and on and on. and someone emerges, right? you can go back to a jimmy carter who just emerge, i don't know, or adult points. brock obama, right. uh, so i don't know if we necessarily know who that candidate is right now. i think it's too early to tell, but i do agree that i don't think it is going to be far more trump. i think you know, more than likely, you know, maybe we, we don't know. you know, if people talking about the santas and then on the other side, you know, i don't know if even the democrats really have a batch. because who do i, who were talking about your beauty judge, i mean, they're trying to house cobble as we speak. i think in the democrats, i use the judge couldn't get get some. uh, tell me when the americans ready to vote for a guy who is openly gay,

i don't think you have anything to do with that. i think it's just incompetent. it's a small town town may or from, you know, south bend indiana like what singly done. that's, yeah. well, he's the, he's very eloquent at we gotta give him his, whenever he puts words together is very, very nicely. but the, but listen to my question now, what do you think america's, at this point? not you, i'm not asking you for your opinion, america as we know, as you and i know it is it, would it be willing to vote for a guy who's openly get i don't think people care about hans. i really at this point at this point for edward woodson is a journalist. he's a tv and radio host. uh and uh, obviously he's not afraid to say what the, how he sees things in terms of how the politics of the united states of america stands. right now, he's joining us to have this conversation about whether uh, interestingly enough,

uh no country for old presidents and whether we have become in this country that goes further and, and what i want to talk about when we come back from the break is i want to talk about what the specifics are that causes that has put us here and how we could possibly change these conditions. thanks again, you're talking to uh, you're listening to rick sanchez with edward woodson. we'll be right back. by the way, i'd like to continue this conversation with you. what do you say we do that? huh. we can do this on twitter. my handle there is rick sanchez, tv. rick sanchez, tv on twitter. i'll see you there. but when we come back, more on these latest polls about how americans feel about the age of their president and their leaders. what's happening here? stay with the

a, a the, the which i thought that was the little thing is just that i'm still there. slug,

restaurants come right now, let you and they want us to, to look, you agree, mr. late. the post is all the, if the is that i, that's a get a minute come other students need, which is easy to so on the local use us as a central material, which is the monument. i'm willing, i didn't like the law. the daughter is only once again is busy or battling which will screw well in the middle of something. i mean yeah, we did present to not the beginning of the results between you and then we'll just do a solution for sure. and i'm comfortable with which one which insidiously suit. kimberly process the . okay, welcome back. i'm rick sanchez. and i want to ask you a question which goes right, right to really the heart of democracy. right. and it's this who you think?

what do you think chooses the people who represent us? well, if you go by the argument that you can't win an election in the united states without the right amount of money, that it stands to reason that those who win are the ones who can raise the most money. i know if that money comes from all of us, that would be good measure of who we really like. but guess what? it doesn't. it doesn't even come close. in fact, look at this pie chart from open secrets dot org. they measure who gives money to candidates. 48 percent of the donations comes from very wealthy people. 23 percent comes from super packs. those are companies sectors and special interest that wants something from the politicians. they're huge, and they've got a lot of the only 13 percent comes from regular voters, only 13 percent. and by the way, even that number is said to be exaggerated, because oftentimes these wealthy people, these funders,

they disguise their donations by giving the money of their family members their kids. and then they turn it in. and it looks like it's coming from regular people. but it ain't coming from regular people. so who is choosing our politicians who's making sure the same people remain and that the system remains the same as talk about that. we're back with edward woodson, talking about uh, no country for old presidents which is kind of the state of things right now in the united states and, and we're trying to see if we can help figure out why america is in the state and, and there's a couple of things that really come into play one of them i'm, i'm just thinking out loud right now because i just looked at some numbers. most of the people who vote in the united states or the biggest number are there 60, those 7 days. they're voting for somebody who reminds them of them know. sure, sure, sure. and then as much as we want to act like, you know, you do to the board,

people get off the boat, all this up, your people don't vote. i mean, don't go to rallies, they'll talk about it, they'll do videos, but when it comes down to voting, they actually don't vote. and those are the numbers. those are statistics. so maybe in a sense, we're giving the voters what they want, right? as well or, or is it edward that uh, this, the system was fold folders that skews towards old voters. uh, i mean for example young guy in his twenties, maybe his thirty's or a young woman in her twenties, maybe or thirty's. she's got a job. uh, she's working putting in 50 hours a week and they want her to go and wait in line for 2 hours. maybe 3 who the hell knows depends on where she lives. so that she can wait in line to vote in the presidential election. and i mean, yeah, you're right for her, it doesn't matter that much, but they're not making it easy. whereas the all retired guy. right. i got nothing

else to do. bob and i are going to go play golf. and when we're done, we're going to go over there and then we're going to go get a drink, make sense for the older person. not for the younger 1st. yeah, i think there's actually more opportunity now to both. never really. you got so much so early voting apps and keyboarding there's, you know, i think back to, you know, 2030 years ago. it was, you know, you voted basically election day. right. so now there's actually manage. there really is more opportunity to vote today than there ever has been. and i think it comes down to motivation. i think that it's not as important. like, i think that people used to think that it was a civic duty that it was part of being an american part of the fabric of america. that people would be like psyched to vote. and i don't think that that is really necessarily present and why. okay, okay, okay. you're on to something you're on to something. what all americans use to feel like this is my duty. i'm a patriot. i love my country. this is something i got to do. and today,

most people look at these candidates, look at the system and they go yeah, we've increasing, we've gotten more cynical in it. and maybe it's because we've, we were pretty so much information. we have so much information, right? uh huh. and it's almost over load and then we don't really know anything, right? so you for it so that you've got people that are google in doing all this stuff, but yet they can't recall anything. and so i don't know, maybe it's because of the, the, because of the vapid most of our, our, our quotes are good about this. what about and what you're referring to is cynicism and i get it right. i mean, there is a hell of a lot of cynicism in this, as you're right now, probably as much in our country right now as there's ever been right. and i got a figure that a lot of these people are looking up. for example, the big donors and how much money they put into these guys both left and right. by the way, they give it the republicans. sure. and you're sending out there and you're going

ok. they want me to vote. but what the hell difference is my boat going to make compared to this guy who's given this guy a $100000.00 or $500000.00, jointly to make sure that they represent their point of view and not mine. and wouldn't just think that those big donors want the buttons in office want the old people in office when they walk the people who've been there for years and years and years because they've been working for years and years and years. and they know what to expect from the sure and the same age. think about. so the people that are in power are the same page as the people that are running. think about it. you've got the ceos, they're, they're not going anywhere you. yeah, so you've got this block of a concentrated power right amongst. all right, the same as your global leads. corporations, corporate have cdls and they're actually skewing older as well. so you've got this whole block of power and it just human nature. do you want to the, what is it,

is it their age or is it their desire to monitor really manipulate the system as well? i think it's the latter, sir. what age? you know, you've been around a while, so again, you don't want to give it up. you don't want to give him a power. nobody wants to give him a power once you have. yeah. right. so i think that's what's also going on and not these, but again, i go back to the, to the example, the boomers boomers are, you know, do you know they're not going away any time soon? edward woodson, tv and radio is good enough to join us to have this really important conversation and it was a good one. thanks, briggs. thanks. thanks for having me. you're a great american. before we go, i want to remind you of our mission. it's simple, really. we want to do silo the world somehow. you know, we've got to stop living in these little silos. we're on one group believes one thing and they never talk to the other guys. these boxes choose to live in boxes.

truth is everywhere. i'm rick sanchez. i'll be looking for you again right here, where i hope that we can give you direct impact the the i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show. alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to makes a trust rather than fit the various job. i mean with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody with him in the

robot most protects his phone. existence was on the wall. he's 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 create ticket of time. time to sit down and talk the boss can do either to speak with key at the washington state,
