tv   Direct Impact  RT  December 8, 2023 7:30pm-8:01pm EST

7:30 pm
the public, sanchez, i've been doing news now for 30 years and 2 languages all over the world here in the united states, interviewed for us presidents and also work for several us major television networks. and i believed after all of that, but news to be honest and direct and impactful. that's why we call this direct impact. the there is a sign of a prevailing in america that seems to be shared by more and more people with each passing back. and what is it? well, it's a frustration, really, that's melding into an all out this trust of our nation's institutions. and what many would call the establishment. it's almost as if within the soul of america, there's a bubbling disturbance that goes something like this. how are you, michael?
7:31 pm
how does our find that the you know, know where is that the more true than with younger americans right now, why? because americans, under, let's say 40 are coming of age at a time when they have less power as workers than their mom. or dad, or even the grand parents, if you are a worker in america today, for example, you tend to be treated by the company that you work for as disposable, right, you can be fired without explanation. and you'll likely be replaced by a part timer or a freelancer. she, in the past there were union rights and sanctioned employment rights that the government set today, not so much. and staying on the economic front, if we could. consumers both young and older, also feeling pinched, lied to manipulate it, and offered fewer and fewer choices. why? well, and what i'm talking about is consolidation. it's
7:32 pm
a trend that is taking over the entire country. few companies with the help of hedge funds and private equity firms are amassing enough money to buy out entire industries, essentially buying out the competition, right? so where there used to be many of everything. today there are only a few in 2005, the united states had 9 major airlines. now we have 4. you notice the way you're treated when you fly these days, better or worse? you answer that. 80 percent of americans can choose their own internet provider why the government chooses for us. and it's usually comcast a d and d, or time warner, who also own bunch of the news that you're allowed to get. in 1995 bank sell 10 percent of all banking assets today they hold 45 percent of all banking assets. and
7:33 pm
by the way, the same thing is happening with the insurance business, hospitals, grocery stores. and i could go on by the way, as fewer companies drive prices up higher and higher because they have less competition and can do so they can get away with it. the percentage of those with more wealth is getting smaller and smaller. that's right. fewer people have more of the pie, in fact, did you know 20 percent of americans now and 86 percent of the entire country is wealth. 20 percent. with 86 percent. that's a big not. now you would say right that given that obvious disparity, our media would speak out about it. come to our defense. nope. you know why? well, because what is it about the corporate media? what is corporate mean? because they 2 are owned by the richest of the rich. how about our political leaders that are government agencies?
7:34 pm
are they suppose to look out for us against things like this? of course they are, but do they know? because they too are bought off, essentially is a when they want to create a new law or a policy, what they tend to consider, 1st and foremost, isn't you. it's the corporations and the multi millionaire donors and fund their campaigns. oh sure. there is occasional pushback. i take no lecture on asking patriotic americans to weigh in and contribute to despite from those who would grovel and bend me for the lobbyist and special interest to own our leadership. who have, oh, well, you want, who are hollowed out this power board against the future of our future generations . but in the end, the big corporations get exactly what they want. more and more of our money from your elected officials, which they legally get by being bought on there will be no
7:35 pm
government shut down. in fact, let me share something with you. you want to know how disconnected american motors are today from the people that they elect get this. 85 percent of congressional districts in the united states are now generally considered safe sites. that means that once they get into office, most members of congress can stay there almost as long as they like. even when they get like this. the a set of dianne feinstein literally died in office at the age of 90. the
7:36 pm
now she gets prompts for hanging in there, right. but 90 really. how connected do you think she was? look at her to the average, millennial, who is again star and list wars and our corrupt political system. who keeps people like her. god bless her in power. in fact, there is no greater disconnect then how young americans are stuck with the very people they generally despise. then the slow of recent balls that show that the mass majority of all americans disapprove of their elected officials, gallup polls even show that as many as, as high a numbers 90 percent of americans, 90 percent, disapprove of congress. think about that. 90 percent of americans say they don't like congress yet. 85 percent of the members of congress keep their jobs almost for
7:37 pm
life. how does that happen? is that our democracy is supposed to work to to have this conversation were joined by doctor boomer leon to i have a feeling he talks about this a lot. that's a disparity in this country between people who feel like just things aren't right. and most of them are younger and they don't think that a voice, and that's why we're calling this asylum majorities. dr. leon hosts inside the issues on sirius x, i'm general 126. do you get the sense? like i do when i talk to my kids and when i talk to my kids friends that especially, and i used to work kids, but really the people who are younger in the united states, whatever they all you want to call them, dixon, g, genex, or millennials or whatever that they feel disconnected, but they don't really express it publicly. but when you talk to them privately, you get
7:38 pm
a sense that they're kind of getting really fed up with all the b s. even if they can't put their exact finger on it, did i explain it correctly? i think you did. and there's an incredible irony here, rick. because if you talk about the young, silent majority and where that term actually originated, it was richard nixon back in 72 that talked about the america's youth. and they, those who were born during or after world war 2 and they were more socially conscious, more politically aware, better educated than their parents and race and as well that to and then and then and 72. they propelled him to the white house because they were engaged in now we see because for them there was an american dream. yeah. there was a whole by the way, those people you just describe that mix and call the silent majority. they hated the young people. they hated the women's movement, they hated what was going on in the south with african americans,
7:39 pm
and they wanted to somehow, in fact, that's what changed american politics because the south used to be democrat and now the south is republican. when mixed and came out and told all the white people in the south, hey, you got a boat for us cuz we don't like mid rose. there you go. there you go. and and, and so now, because this american dream and the vision of so many of the youth is fading. now you find conservatives are losing their traction in uh, i think in 20162020. 30 just 36 percent of 18. 29 year old voted for trump. 63 last year. 63 percent of them voted for democrats. so this dynamic is shifting because america, the american empire is waning. and capitalism is failing. isn't really what i get a sense when i talk to younger people, my kids and their friends who come over for backyard barbecues is that they don't
7:40 pm
give a crap about party affiliation. and they think both parties are extremely corrupt and whether you're talking about joe biden, who they think is half asleep. and why is grandpa even in the control here? or, you know, the vileness of the guy who he preceded or appreciated him. i should say, say don't care, they just figure all of these wars, all of his crap, all of these bankers, all these billionaires, all of the right for it. i'm losing as old parker, the lack of security that i have at my job. this is wrong and no one's doing anything about it and it's not a democrat or republican thing that that's what i get from that you say, well, i say you're absolutely right because they're done with the rhetoric and they want results. they see that what was it the, i think with cbs news homes on affordable in 99 percent of the nation for the average american. the things that their parents in our parents were relying
7:41 pm
on, such as the, the ability to buy a home, the ability to have a pension, the ability to retire, the ability to get educated and not have to go in hawk to at, for the rest of your life in order to achieve it, those things are failing them and so they don't care who's sitting there, they want to see results. and yet, this is an amazing study that i brought up in my intro. something like 89 percent of americans disapprove consistently. 80 to 90 percent of americans consistently disapprove of congress. they didn't test the. we're talking about all americans, old, young or whatever. and yet listen of is 80 to 90 percent of the people in congress keep their jobs for decades. many of them run on a pose and many of them freaking die in office in their ninety's. how can those 2
7:42 pm
things be and what the hell does it say about democracy or lack thereof? because what we, we don't have one person one vote that matters in america. now what we are finding is the elite benefactors that are padding those campaign coffers. those are the individuals that the representatives are representing in the interest that they're speaking to. so joe biden can come out and tell you, oh, i want to be the greatest labor president ever. and then when it comes to the railroad worker strikes the sides with the railway company. was it just remember this about job? i jo delaware to the delaware is delaware, is the place is the corporate uh, corporate america incorporates the whole of corporate america. it's where people go when they want politicians to pass laws. right. make sure that their assets grow. i mean the hands of the communist. this like this via the interest of the
7:43 pm
elite or who are so call our elected officials representing to wilmer, the young doctor coast inside the issues on sirius x m radio channel, 126. my friend, thank you so much for the written lightning conversation. very great. look forward to the next one. by the way, i'd like to continue this conversation with you when we can do it on twitter. my handle there is rick sanchez, tv x, twitter, whatever you want to call it. i'll see you there. so when we come back, how have americans opinions changed about what we should do regarding the funds that we're sending, or maybe shouldn't send to ukraine? we'll be right back the the
7:44 pm
the, what the, not a court to go. we use and i made it could fail them, but i was in the child support knowledge and was hoping more of me and go cream kia difficult as of course the thing that has the information now to me is i have to the lady and i take it, but as for you kind of throw this up here, but i just think of going, you know, all the key for the zip lots is each key or the port side table much. but as empty box, you can send me a box and kind of a gamble for, for that key cold. and then you want them ali, uh, from
7:45 pm
a do not go outside until a gene. yeah. add on for my dad, the village, plastic conscious. its a new kind of a game be, but even longer time for us to nick is off. but i wasn't looking to explain the way to waste his flow by 5 of your chairs. i was only saw, i was in the old capital theater children's pro quarter samples. they see the model much single the, there is a quiet and brewing frustration, no doubt in america that has to do with the feeling of powerlessness, especially among the young in all respects, that powerlessness comes from
7:46 pm
a lack of meaningful choice. big institutions don't have to be responsive to us because we can't penalize them by going and doing business with somebody else. i have a competitor, for example. we also can use anyone else to keep them in check for us because both our media and our elected officials, well, they simply won't. okay, let's talk about this with jamal thomas. i do sense. there is something going on in america where there is this young vote. they don't watch cable news. they don't watch traditional news. they don't read them new york times. they go to their own place. nobody knows are there. that's why i say they're very stylish, but they're pissed. they don't like what's going on in america. and i'll give you an example of thousands of young people, most of them jewish by the way, a grand central station in new york. and they're willing to be arrested and they're
7:47 pm
the voices for peace. they're pro palestinian arguing that we need to get israel to essentially do some kind of up. so as far they've got no coverage, i didn't see the story. i didn't see this video on cnn, or fox, or anywhere else, couple of little stories on, you know, here and there. and it tells you that their movement is generally ignored by the so called media in this country. and i think that's a part of the problem. great. that was present a great, now keep in mind us policy at this point is going to gets what they basically what i mean, that's part and parcel to the reason why those people are being ignored and you're right. they're willing to be arrested for it. if you look at job items pulling the drops like 10 points over the course of a month, and a lot of that has to do with basically his $1.00 to $1.00 with israel, regardless of what's going on behind the scenes. what it looks like is they've just
7:48 pm
murder for a 1000 people, half of which were children angel by disbanding and are basically giving it to ok. let's just giving it to ok. even going so far as the question, the numbers coming out of palestine up to this point, nobody is ever requested in the numbers. in this case, this is not going to work well for job i and just like the muslim population that's in michigan right now. the youth vote is going to be very angry about the position, the job items taken on this board, but it's the end. it's not just the okay so that we're going through the situation between israel and palestine and another mid east conflict, although that's what it looks like. it's going to get hotter. yeah. but before this, there was a rock and before a rock there was, i've gotta stand it before i can stand there was vietnam and, and during all of those are, was also syria and olivia the m and i. and nobody knows this who is over 60 or 70 because they're watching fox news, cnn, and nbc and all that crap. but for some reason, i believe young people, they know about this and they're keeping score,
7:49 pm
but no one's keeping score of them. did i get that right? you did get that right then you know the well part about it for the last 3 election cycles. be you foot has been massive. i mean, usually looking at you bernie sanders, when you flows flaky. right? is like if that's the expectation that you would put into plumbing, you food doesn't typically show up with the last election was the largest you for going back, but 30 years with exception. maybe when you, i think it was like 2018 might have been the offline of outlier. but, but let me count, are you larger but not large? right? compared to old people. i'm sorry, young people. those of us who are listening to this do might the sound of my voice and you live in america. when it comes to voting, you sucks. you generally don't vote in this country you dog. i'm sorry, i mean, yeah, maybe a little more lately, but a little more. it's still not a lot. 40 percent. i mean i think the last election, 40 percent of the ballots costs were for the you know, 14 percent. wow. how impressive. know what
7:50 pm
the play devil's advocate when can you blame on printed what? wait, now i'm going to defend them. i just, i just don't young people are voting sucks, but now i'm going to defend them. you can you blame them when their choices are trump and by that greet uh, that's what when they love a guy named bernie sanders and the democratic party comes in and says, no bernie, sorry we're, we're moving you. it's a fact. oh, um, what, what am i voting for? that's the opposite of question, right? i mean, democrats, when they're looking at the voting thing, they think themselves, okay, we have to you folks, we have nowhere else to go. the problem is those people could stay home, which is what many of them do and it's like, okay, well what do you offering the, the high school loan thing or the college loan thing fell apart job. i gave a half hearted push for it and got killed in the courts. if you're looking at the bar, i want it legislation that also failed. and so you're looking at things like climate change and those are the things that the democrats and the focus on. but when you
7:51 pm
get into that, they wouldn't need that just messaging, but actual action, whether that's the one economic really meeting and company quality, whether that's one of the marijuana legislation in putting all these people in jail . whether that's on climate change is something taking place. democrats are pushing on that one. um, but the reality of it is if you are trying to get the you feel you need to tell or not just what you are messaging, but what you are doing for that vote. and the honest truth is, i don't know what the go for your job, but once it's, you've done that. no, no, we, we, we don't even need to go there. i mean, i know where you're about to go. well, here's why they don't vote because they have no one, no one to choose, and all these, it's the same people. and basically, in many ways when you're building for a democrat or republican, what was the difference? yeah, they're both for a rock. they're both for this pay off the boat for a ford policy that's just not it never ending wars. so what the hell is the difference? but here's what i think is important. and it's the same reason as you and i have
7:52 pm
discussed before why we have lots of generic ends and incentive arians as our leaders, you know, and why people die in office at the age of 90 and stuff like this. it's because the system is set up in such a hey, and i want to know if you agree with me on this the system then by then of course what the hell is a system where i'm not and what are these guys are? those are our deep state, but there is a system, a political system in place which is corrupt, and it's corrupted by companies and people who are very wealthy, who prefer to have certain types of politicians in place, of course. and those politicians that they want in place and the policies are the biden's, are the drums, are the mich mcconnell's. these people who are controllable. and they don't want young people to vote because young people will tend to port alternatives in there that don't do what they want them to do. am i wrong?
7:53 pm
you are completely right. i mean, if you think back to when sanders was running, i think it was sanders had like 70 percent of the you for going to him he it more vote. then trump invited to combine, it wasn't even clubs. and the reality of it is our system for functions on cash. i mean 90 percent of the people who are elected or 90 percent of the people will decide what the most catch. you don't even need to know the party name, whatever. no, no, you're wrong. you're wrong in this case, it wasn't about the cash. it was about the democratic establishment apparently had plenty account. no, no, no, but the property, i know why the parents, the democratic party says no, we don't want birdie there. we want bite in there. we want hillary, they're really what i mean, but that shows what the, the, we get the vote for the i see what i mean by that is the way the system is. organizes organizer around who gets the most cash and understand. but yes, i just said a lot of cash, i'm just talking about the way the system functions. right? the president to election for
7:54 pm
a moment. 90 percent of the races are chosen by the side with the most cash, 70 percent of the time that republicans, the democrats, been a calling for cash to basically balance with alex as oh, yeah, i understand that same is that a huge amount of money, but the way the system operates that system, a store to get burned, the most money. it, but definition, if you're getting that money, you're getting the money for particular reason. they're not going to give you a huge amount of cash. if you're going to go in and do things that are against their interest, what do we have to do? to try and somehow make those alternative voices that silent majority matter more in this country. i want to love to see the matter more because i tend to agree with what you're, what they're saying. it's not revolutionary. it's just, let's not be so corrupt. let's not let money, control the system. and let's stop these unless wars. wow, crazy stuff, right? yeah. and yeah, can stuff that even happening because so, so how do we get their voices heard? well, how does this change developer?
7:55 pm
it can jamal what the sad part of it is. it's of feedback mechanism on some level, the people don't necessarily have those voters feel disenchanted, and they because they feel different, janet, they are less inclined to actually put a go to the polls. and honestly, i'm not either sure voting is really the issue. i mean, a lot of the stuff has to do with movements and the way that those movements shape a change of political space. so i strongly suspect that what needs to take place is going to take place outside of our political system. and what they mean is movements, if you look back to the right or you look back to the vietnam war, you look back to any kind of economic change in regards to the issue of race. yeah . that stuff was movements outside of the political space. the guy had the media was so corrupt, walter cronkite went on the air and said this must stop. yeah, there's no walter cronkite out there who's going to do it. anderson cooper, who was wearing a cheerleading outfit right now, reporting from israel,
7:56 pm
literally with the palm palms. yeah. go kill, kill, kill. i mean, who in the, in the, in the corporate or institutional media in the cbs of the world will stand up and say, are, are endless. wars must stop and, and we shouldn't use our military to kill innocent people. what's going on saying that nobody, nobody's been said that sir, but the listeners with different social media. so when you say movement, the movement, how does that moving call asked? what does it talk to? how does it organizer my, what here is i would argue social media. i mean, social media is a, is a new work. and all of that is like, no, you don't have walter cronkite. but the moment this something happens around the world, you literally have a camera that you could see it for yourself. and it's heartbreaking. i mean, if we're looking at toward the some around, you can see everything that's basically happening on the ground. as it happens. it is hard to keep, let's say the american population, especially the you for francine and when they see that they're gonna have a reaction to that. i think, to bring in new york that there's the,
7:57 pm
there's nothing and i take your point there. yeah, there, there is, and i think it's a good one. the few things in the world are more democratizing then the instance see a car and see the news and it's ross state, right. and if, if the technology out there is not bought and sold, that is used in social media. but billionaires who want to control it, then that there isn't often kennedy that back in coal, less the voices, the people, the power to somehow bring about change. and i guess we'll leave it at that see going on an optimistic note, your mouth, tom is always an absolute delight talking to you. you're smart, you're, you're kind, you're, you're, you're, you know, it's, it's, it's really nice. you, you've got a sense of you've got your finger on the pulse of the american people and i think that's an important thing for us to be able to have discussions about from time to time. thank you. my friend, be good rick. hey, before we go,
7:58 pm
i'd like to remind you of our mission here. it's simple really i want to de silo the world. that's what we want to do. we've got to stop living in these little boxes where people only hear their own truths, but what they think are truths is the truth. don't live in boxes, they're everywhere. i'm extra interest. i'll be looking for you again right here, where i hope to provide a direct impact the the, [000:00:00;00]
7:59 pm
the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills and is just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground can
8:00 pm
