at the percentage of 60 to 80 year olds who vote in presidential elections is more than 70 percent. the percentage of the older people loading is 70 percent. and when we look at those who are $30.00 to $40.00 for that percentage goes down to about 50 percent. in other words have, don't even bother to vote. and now look what happens when we look at 18 to 29 year olds. the number goes down to roughly 40 percent. in other words, the majority of americans in that particular category don't vote. so in america, the older you are, the more likely you are to vote and the older you are, the more likely the more likely you are to get elected as well and stay elected. and with each passing year, this jeron pock receive, gets more and more pronounced. and joining us now is uh edward woodson. he's a tv and uh radio host whose name has appeared on too many periodicals today. and

he's work for probably too many outlets to name as well. let's start with this. there of only been 2 presidents in the united states in their seventy's. and guess who they are. guess who they are? joe biden, and donald trump. yeah, i mean, what, what do you make of that? what does that say about us as a country? i think what it, what it represents is that the boomers aren't ready to like go. right. you know, you've got to solve this boomer generation which by the way, if you look at the birth, you know of the boomer generates. it's such, it's such a, a long generation right. but it was 1947 to or 1964. so you've got the, the we were we're coming to the end of the boomer generation now. and i think part of that is that the boomer generation doesn't want to let go. and i think that's what it is. well, there's the writing. there's something that many are writing about now it's called

geron park receive. busy and to me, i mean, i don't know what it means to you, but to me it means too many entrenched a people in our system of government who are going to probably remain there for years and years. and then is the, and like you said, they don't want to let go good or bad. the good or bad. you know, i, i'm a conflicted about this because i know this has been a media narrative for the last week. now, you know, your and i, and i, by the way, i wonder why that is because the democratic party watched the push button now. right, well, i mean, i'll tell you this. um, i'll tell you this recently, and i think a lot of americans have seen this and for our audience overseas, i think you'll find this quite interesting. president biden is in a news conference any calls out congresswoman jackie larson right back. we have the video, we're going to play it right here. okay,

now we're coming out of the video. busy did you, did you see that? i mean he's asking if she's in the room and she's dead, she had just died in a car accident. they do it and everybody knew it. i mean, i'm just watching that moment and i'm thinking to myself, god bless them. but is it all timers? is it, is it? well, what do you make of that moment? well, look, that's not an isolated moment, rick. i mean we've had other moments like this right? and, and, and a lot of people in washington, a lot of people have had whispers that perhaps joe biden is, uh, you know, uh, early onset of, uh, of dementia alzheimer's. right? i mean, it's, it's a natural progression of his age to be that way. so i think that what we're seeing too is um, slowly, but surely you're seeing this would be, you know, the documents and you know, as a matter fact today they just search the robust house. you know, the d o j a went in there and i, i, i think this is

a slow role to kind of take him out and, and possibly bringing somebody younger. so no, i mean, we'll talk about the numbers in a little bit. and by the way, let me just ask you, uh, do you see him running again? do you think there's any possibility he can run for a 2nd, sir? so i, i think that maybe she might want to, but i, i feel like the forces, i think after the mid terms, when he made that announcement, right. saying that he was gonna run or possibly run. i think you already kind of started to see the writing on the wall and you kind of started seeing, but you know, there's no coincidence a gavin newsom now is making a big play. you know, you've got talk of. 1 you know, bringing in new blood, frankly. yeah. you know, you across america, by the way, i mean, correct. it doesn't, but you can, we can talk about, i mean, look at the republican side, there's trauma, right. and uh,

i mean uh say what you want about him guy doesn't email, doesn't tech barely knows how to use technology and his reading skills. well, watch instead of videos where women have been truly under represented of really save under representatives to the drugs, not as old. i don't think he's got the mental deficiencies that we outwardly see in the invite him, but he's kind of an old. these are 2. no, absolutely. yeah, i got a boomer that he doesn't wanna let go mean. and what part of that is, is we're living longer. we're being told, uh, hey, uh, you know, a 60 is a new 40 know 6060. yeah. so we would hold that for a long time. right. but it's 66 period water of 80. it's a it's

a. yeah. so i mean the but were told but constantly. right. right. oh, we've been sold that. uh, you know, some women have been told the don't worry, you can put off having kids enjoy your. yeah for you can have it all girl. but the reality is, is that age, those play a part right? just logically, with her mental acuity and what have you. so, you know, there's something to be said about having new blood. there was actually a movement that started in 2016. i don't know if you remember it. i remember seeing it. we actually have some signs that we're going to be able to put up. so the people around the world and listening to us can, can, can, can be made aware of it. it was actually a movement that's called everybody sucks. it's them and they're signs of came up everywhere. every americans are generally just dissatisfied with their political system and more importantly, their political choices. what do you make of that as well? i think that's, that's largely true. but how long rich have we gone through election cycles?

where we said that this person is the lesser of 2 evils. how much of we've done that? i know in my lifetime, in your years as well. we've done that. we've kind of looked up and go, you know, my guess this guy is, i'm not crazy about this guy, but let me go ahead and vote for him because he's the less are 2 evils. and i think we've had those choices for a long time. i do, i do think actually they do all suck. yeah. well, but there's, there's, are, there are larger reasons i think for that do you think the ask you this and now uh try and narrow it down to the 2 guys could be running again in the next presidential election. i'll tell you what my buddies say, my democratic buddies say there's no way in hell that they would support a bite in presidency. the guys already too old and out to lunch. my republican bodies are telling me they're not comfortable following or backing a trump presidency because they think he's just gone too far. he looks tired too

much drama, yada, yada, yada, bring on somebody else. so we got 2 leading candidates. i suppose at least the guy's hogging all the attention, neither one of which is uh, uh, really selling themselves or, or, or is getting buy in right now from the american public or at least the voting public. you say what? i think that's largely true and, but you know, how many times have we seen was 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 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,

people talked about the sadness and then on the other side, you know, i don't know if even the democrats really have a bachelors who do it, who we're talking about here booted 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 it has anything to do with that. i think it's just incompetent. he's a small town town, may or from, you know, south bend indiana like what, singly dog. that's. yeah. well, he's the, he's very eloquent. we gotta give him is 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, edward woodson is a journalist. he's

a tv and radio host. uh, and 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 that's good, we have become in this country, but it 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 caused is that has put us here and how we can possibly change these conditions. thanks again, you're talking to uh, you're listening to rick sanchez with edward watson. 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,

the 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 the, the worst i'm opening is to students the slug restaurants because right now let's you and they want us to, to look, you agree, miss stella, to post this on the at the is that i, that's a give them mind you come other students need which is easy to so on the screen. so as i said, just for material which is in line, i'm willing to identify july the,

again, this is all about on my soul square. well, in the middle of something in the widget presidents and not the degree that the results between you and the 2. would you do that for sure, and i'm comfortable in which we want you to see if he goes to the

the one thing on the page to collaboration kwasic is what is the best thing move on to the i did about them. this is the purpose of it fits and this wonderfully complicated community news for the police know what our to school accomplishment for staff, what's best time to send me something new, must give me ports to me and cut off the stuff that isn't most interested in life. it's called really conditional kind of skip, but they still do what you just said. yes to just so i'm using menu. the one that you don't can be come loose at the coming of somebody at the community would see that the come. i said to be the definitely not as all like supposed to be shut off . thank you. so i'll fix it to only out of the meeting with us. that's and basically but, but then we steve with industrial cleaning at the it's where the 2

forces locate them this summer because now we will shoot you a copy so much, but we've kind of lab. great will it was, it was the case was that there's any big, there's a listing for this prescription drug test and office of chicago for now we're still very depressed of control in stone. i'm proud of we're not even though you was in the middle of 11 us to get to know some of the great 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, what do 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. you 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 come from very wealthy people. 23 percent come from super packs. those are companies sectors and special interest that wants something from the politicians. they're huge and they 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 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. i get as much as we want to act like, you know, you do to the board, people get off the boat, all this up. don't 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 fall. and those are the numbers also 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 sold 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, for as well. yeah. i think there's actually more opportunity now to both. never

really. you got so much so early voting, absentee voting 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 much, 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. why. okay. okay, okay, you're on to something you're on to something. what i could 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 this system and they go yeah, we've increasingly gotten more cynical in it. and maybe it's because we're, we're, we're 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 that, you've got people that are google and doing all of 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 missed of ours. our, our culture, the about this, what about 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, 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 them the republicans. sure. and you are standing 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 and 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, all the same page as the people that are running, think about it. you got to see yours, they're not going anywhere. you. yeah, so you've got this block of cards and traded power right amongst. paid 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 again, i go back to the, the, 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 words. thanks. thanks for having me. you're a great american of 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 talked to the other guys. these boxes truths don't 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 garage of business and the system must be arriving to speak with key at the washington state, the bruce to complete the rest full of guys as to phone of send 2 professional men to prep the list of all for each what they use for level. the

the in 1881 began to expand its property in north africa. france decided to attack and easy. the invasion began with a bomb bartman of the french fleet on coastal cities and was followed by sending in the ground through the french easily occupied one of the key city. please eric and the bay of doing this bomb at the 3rd us deep agreed to humiliating negotiations.

the bartow trade, he concluded with a colonialist, establishing a project to rid of france, overton easier. however, the people up to an easy, i would not surrender to the enemy. at the call of the as alignment clergy, the do easy is rose to a holy war against the invaders. the soldiers of the bays army also joined the resistance. the french groups did not get an easy walk. vieira patriots bought desperately, but failed to defeat a huge and well armed army, which was supported by the strongest sleep. within a year the rebels were defeated. this turned out to be a real tragedy for the country. about one 7th of the population together with the fighters left for neighboring libya. thousands of people died during the warfare. the french flag was raised over to an easy. the colonial authorities tried to deprive the country of its air of identity and populated with european settling.

such an easy ins did not put up with the loss of freedom era. patriots had been fighting against french colonialism for decades until to an easier game. the independence in 1956 the or the headlines on off to you as a national. i'm pushing back on the counter offensive. russian forces secure front lines and don't balance the quote into most of the officials. well, president, so mc towards various nato meant the state's looking from the west buttons on the units. the protest throughout the process can you against the government's economic policies as inflation spike? pulling up position lead a heads up movements on house, the current sitting president also in the program,

india is ministry of external affairs accuses canada of legitimizing. terrorism. thing also isn't doing its part to protect the indian officials from fly hello top again. the no filters on 0 main street narratives. it's always you own use on all to you international and very well. so russian troops continue repelling ukraine. you know, tax on the front lines near the city of october of school to known as by mood that is in the donuts republic. it is also according to russia's ministry of defense. that's a show us of russian times moving into combat positions near the front line. and then the neighboring lugens go public. ukrainian troops are reported to have been well up rooted from the previous strongholds. as our embedded senior correspondent, powerful ukrainian soldier parts of the special forces squad, films,

and the attempt to the tag on the russian outpost. you run across and stick time to cover on the left. any cover we move that way. it doesn't go according to plan here, but i suppose the attack is so supported by rushing for a machine gun opens up new jersey. ginger, i'm injured the 55 last so the minutes the anti you putting in squad, he's killed the speed you it. peter mises you pains disastrous, defensive, across hundreds of kilometers of the scene, but pete's head doing attacks against fortified russian positions. the casualties are renewal of us then added yeah, the american supplied max pool, which vehicle takes a direct heat, reportedly in that bottle,

is your region over the past month? billions and billions of dollars worth of data, weapons, and vehicles have but, and the financial stress is telling the conflict. this conflict has no military solution to say, i do not accept the provision of munition, especially if it is from the reserves. we often old you are an all wheel because like you will find the president and supreme commanders and i have clear responsibilities not to weaken the defense capabilities of demo jerry and all me, us new to go to see amongst native states. well, we are, and this is on the rise. now that the prospect to have a quick ukrainian victory has been proven fantasy instead of fight. they're starting to say, to wait for the key of is that acceptable? h needs guns and money. those piece, the building and they should be able to, i'm sure that you in the european union and ukraine. europe should have common

values in creating a needle should have common values and the more and it cannot be. otherwise, it is impossible to strike a balance or support russia in this war and a lot. why? because russia wants to destroy nato and your ways destroying the european union. is there aim or the do you understand? the lensky is the tubman, so to continue as long as the united states and its need who allies keep sending um and have you, they should. he can keep the war going. there are still millions of ukrainian men left to mobilize for the grind. no matter the loss is 4321, direct case it's directed. but the question remains to that and a quick ministry victory who arguably victory a tool for ukraine is now

a distant and to use every prospect. and the more parents that becomes the hard, the, it will be to maintain a united need to front more, i guess, the of the from new guns region. meantime, the kremlin spokesman said that nato put pressure on top of a to release leaders overnight. torres as a fatality and who what previous p o w is now being sent back to ukraine. now the spokesman added, the act actually goes against what was agreed upon. then a previous prisoner swap between moscow, key of an inquiry. i haven't listened to what they have to say. what sort of senior story say now, great return of the is off leaders from turkey and to ukraine is a direct violation of the terms of the existing agreements or more over. and in this case both ukrainian side and the turkish side violated the conditions the decision to ex.
