7:30 pm
model x time language across states simply with no success which is linked to this conflict in the to the 2nd como, the public, sanchez. i've been doing newspapers in 30 years as you may know into languages by the way and not just here in the united states. but all over the world, and i've interviewed like 4 or 5 us presidents work to different television networks and from all that. and the reason i say it is because i've learned that news needs to be honest and direct and impactful. and this is direct impact. the you know, i noticed recently the global summit,
7:31 pm
which are not supposed to be competitions, but they seem way simply like, that's the way things are framing up. both with, for example, bricks on the one hand, the summit, and the d 20. on the other hand, both were held earlier this year, one in south africa, the other in india, respectively. and i think this may be a good time to assess what we learned from these 2, shall i say competing summit's of the bridge summit seems to have put the june 20 kind of the shame because it actually went as far as to put many of the june 20 countries on notice telling them in no uncertain terms that their war like economic tactics are not appreciated. so that's what came from briggs kind of targeting 20 countries. and how did the members of the d 20 countries summit response? basically by telling the birds guys that if they're going to point fingers,
7:32 pm
that they're going to do the same and point fingers back. and that's exactly what leading members of the g 20 did then by using their platform to go after russia and to go after china. no surprise there right. from the d. 20. all except for one finger. while the bricks, nations were united on most of the stuff that they talked about, the g 20 nations were not. i'll give you an example. india and brazil simply did not go along with a narrative and chose not to take part in the china bashing or for that matter the rush of bashing they just chose not to do so. despite what the other countries at the 20 were saying. it's important to know that that sentiment, their sentiment reflects a growing power shift from the global south where suddenly countries in both africa and latin america are pushing back,
7:33 pm
pushing back from rubber stamping that used to be expected of them. in fact, those countries who now say that for years they had been victimized economically, seem more interested in overhauling. for example, the world bank. then they were attacking russia on attacking china now and when it comes to global news coverage, you know the g 20 summit. i didn't get a lot. didn't get a lot of coverage. briggs made headline, seemingly all over the world but the 20 then. what does that say? by the way, what little coverage of g 20 did get? it was not all at positive. i'll give you an example. argentina's lot, she own a newspaper, wrote about president joe by not knowing who their top or their country's top political candidate was. because when i asked about presidential front runner, javier, i'm a mister by new port at least said, who is that character? that's what he said. who is that character in mexico's daily excellence?
7:34 pm
your newspaper, excelsior, the headline, read, the ukraine war. absent at the g 20. absent at the g 20, as it reported that g, 20 nations were actually more interested in tackling climate change. that in criticizing russia, argentina's other daily and flooding wrote about chinese presidents using pain not showing up at the g 20. and here's conflict with the us. the ongoing conflict obviously, that there's little other silva seem discussed at the international court for issuing an arrest warrant for russian president vladimir, put in by inviting mr. bolton through next year. summit in brazil with a promise that he will personally protect him from arrest. so whether it's a latin america, asia, india, or the middle east, there is no denying that countries see the g 20 very different from
7:35 pm
how they used to see the g. 20. not only are they no longer falling in line with western narratives, they are now also offering their own replacement narratives. is that it's happening more and more slovakia for example, which borders ukraine. they just completed new parliamentary elections and the winter is just ma'am, right here, roberts, joe, or think go, i think they call them the joe who will not lead slovakia. i mean, which is a nato country. so lock you is a made old country. and this gentleman came out feature right after his election and he said essentially, no more money for your grant. we does that will cause that, that goes. but it's, it gives nice that on a little fuzzy to, but it's of the bodies. you the motion,
7:36 pm
photo comfortable it we just come on. you will you give you simple without unusual, you know, through the poconos mom and damage of the whole ship. it's really a spawning statement this that he's doing this thing that he's doing where he's just basically saying, look, you create many money, but sort of told him i people. and because it's a stunning statement that puts nato in a bit of a precarious place to hear, one of its nations come out and declare something like that after an election. but there's another equally starting state that i want to share with you. maybe even more pointed, this one comes from the united states, none other than the southern ran paul, who may have delivered one of the most convincing speeches yet so many the question of sending more arms and more money to ukraine. by the way, normally at this time in this show that we bring you weekly, we, we, we bring in a guest and we analyze this. but i want to share a good part of this. i want you to hear, instead of part of the speech that was delivered in congress
7:37 pm
by senator ram paul. but of course, generally ignored by most of the corporate media. here it is. if this bill passes the u. s. will authorize roughly $60000000000.00 in total spending for you crime. for those who say this is not enough for those of you and this chambers, say that our military spending is never enough. let's put $60000000000.00 into perspective. according to l. e is yusef. a security assistance at the stems and center gave would become the largest yearly recipient of us military aid of the past 2 decades. except for the top 5 countries. $60000000000.00 is more than every other country in the world spends on their entire military expenditures. if this gift ukraine passes, are totally due, crane will almost equal the entire military budget of russia. and it's not as if we have that money lying around. we will have to borrow that money from china to send
7:38 pm
it to you. great. i gotta tell you, i like most proper journalist, i'm not in the business of promulgating any politicians ideology. and in fact, i probably should let you know that i have on many occasions, disagreed with mr. with the center, ran paul's possessions on things. but in this case, given just his, if nothing else clarity regarding where we are getting the money that we then send to ukraine, for example. as well as his explanation of why the ukranian government may not necessarily be what we are all told they are. i thought it would be important that you and others, even those who may disagree with them, at least get a chance to hear his point of view. so let's talk about this, and let's do so with the perfect guest in this case because daniel mcadams is the executive director of the ron paul institute. and since we're going to be talking
7:39 pm
about rand paul's statement, um it's, it's really important to have this discussion with dan. dan, thanks for joining us up. i want to start though with something else i want to start with uh, the whole idea of something that i've seen happening recently. so i get a sense that the twenty's of the world, the, the sevens and the american summit, and all of these formerly super k o summit's meetings that were held by leaders from all over the world are not getting the same attention or respect that we're now seeing in the competing summit's like the belt road bricks, the lula summit for latin america, etc. what's going on here? why is that? what, why. a i seem to, to start today to see reckon, thanks for having me on, by the way, there's a tech tonic shift going on in the world right now. and it's, it's very ironic because the us has done everything. it says that it's done
7:40 pm
everything it is can to prevent it, but after us, one policy is encouraging it and accelerating this move away from the global north for lack of a better term for the global self. and that's why you see things like the break stomach. everyone wants to join like to say, it's where the cool kids hang out. everyone wants to join brakes. whereas you have the g 20. it was, it was tired, it was the they couldn't agree on any kind of statement. the us one, if you use it again, they wanted to hijack the summit as a tool of it's one policy is anti russian pro ukraine form policy that didn't work . so basically nothing came out of it. it was just a very expensive junket. and i mean the contrast with with bricks and the others you mentioned start, are the chickens come coming home to roost when it comes to our foreign policy. i mean, is that why we're seeing countries as you say, wanting to hang out with the cool kids at bricks because they're coming together and saying, you know,
7:41 pm
these guys have been screw on us for so long economically. and another ways we still want to be their friends, but we just kind of go over here and make our own club. well, what i think happened is the sanctions is the primary to all of us. one policy. that's literally all we have do what we say or will section you if that doesn't work well, bomb you and the rest of the world is understandably sick of it. and so sanction has reached the point of no return, you sanctioned the hell out of iran. and then mix deals with russia and make deals are in the region. they make peace with saudi arabia with the help of china. i mean, i've been doing for a policy for a long time. rick, i never saw that coming. i never thought i would see the iran saudi arabia china sitting down in the 2 of them mending defensive. so i and, and it's actually iran, saudi arabia, it's a china, russia, india, to a certain next step. and prior to this situation that's going on now with
7:42 pm
a moss and israel, even israel was edging toward grouping with those folks weird. huh? yeah, it was weird and don't forget iran, which is that which of regional powerhouse now. and now we're seeing of speaking of israel, i mean we're seeing a to a degree, but it's a paper tiger. it's not the powerhouse. absent nuclear weapons, it would be a pushover. you know, we're, we're, we're seeing the destruction basically of the midst of israel's invest ability. so that feeds iran a major player in the region, syria, now a major player now that the assad has defeated for the most part, the us back outside of an ice. this is a us in israel, back of card and isis there. so you're seeing a massive, massive shift in a, in a sense. it's left israel out in the cold. and i think that might explain some of the things that have been happening over the past couple of weeks because we're left with auto protector. i got something for you because as you're speaking,
7:43 pm
i just looked down at my phone and i've just got an alert. you know, as boring, dirty journalist, we literally get alerts from. this is from the miami herald telling me that there's a breaking news story once again that rhonda santas is let me make sure i get this right. randa santas is moving forward on pushing the state legislature to sanction iran. randa sands is the governor of florida is going to sanction iran. i guess he thinks he's one. that's what i mean kit. it just, it seems foolhardy. it seems like just cock, maybe politics. first of all, he's not a country. i mean what this is like, political showmanship. i guess he wants jewish americans and florida to vote for all he did. i didn't have the he held a meeting of his, of his,
7:44 pm
the state legislatures and in jerusalem i think last year it was, i think he's done that twice. so he's, he has a very strong tie there, i guess, a little business that i don't want to pick on him. i mean it's, you know, easy but, but it's like, he's a guy running for it. just like, what are you doing? i mean, what about the police? what about fixing my roads? what about make sure insurance policies are going to be able to be available to the citizens of this state where i am right now because they're all leaving because of the hurricanes and yet instead he's worried about sanctioning a ron? yeah, well no, he's got the, he's got the boomer. he doesn't have his ear to the, to the pulse of the people and it's not on the, on israel policy. in fact, the rick, i was just looking at a new poll that came out cbs, you got full, astonishing. are they asked, do you support sending support in weapons to israel and among republicans it was only 57 percent among democrats. it was less than 50 percent, and among independents it was far less than 50 percent. so the world has changed.
7:45 pm
you can select the cube a policy of the younger generation just doesn't have these old ideas about we've got a support is on the matter what we've got to section the hell out of cuba, you know, till they feel they all starve and get rid of the economy is the world was changing radically, and people like one of the santas, they just don't see it coming well. and rhonda sanchez's emblematic of what we see in congress. right. the rhonda sent us attitude that we just talked about because that having to come through my iphone is, is similar to what we hear from the majority of the people in the senate who by the way, are almost dead. there are 80 or 90 years is old. and they still live in the 19 forties and fifties and where they think there's a cold war going on. and you know, uh the funny thing is, as you say, most people do not feel that way, but they do. that's why recently when ram paul stood up and made that statement, that was not covered by the general media, but we are covering it here. i just thought of nothing else. it was agree with him
7:46 pm
or not. it was refreshing to hear somebody say, why are we borrowing money from china to give it to ukraine? we can't afford a $100000000000.00 with everything that we've got going on in this country. oh, and by the way, the country we're giving it to that we're saying is a great democracy is really not that much of a great democracy. why don't you think of that? they just out lot of the biggest church in ukraine. i mean, they literally outlaw the church so that what does that tell you? they didn't know elections. they outlined the competing political parties. they outlawed the opposition media and now they don't love the church. so that's a great, it's a great democracy. i mean, i do think that that there are no change who has left the station to a degree. i mean, that's why they're trying to tie together the money for israel and the money for ukraine in this big $100000000000.00 bill. because they see the writing on the wall with regard to ukraine. they know it's a lot last cause the,
7:47 pm
the american people are absolutely opposed to sending money to crane. i think among republican voters last pull i saw was like 74 percent against sending more money. yeah. right. so it's deeply, deeply on popular and unpopular view and the politicians. i think you're just starting to catch up with the people. then do me a favor, stay right there, cuz i want to come back and continue to talk about the situation as it can, as, as it relates to both ukraine and the situation that could be escal atory in between our mazda and israel. as far as the whole geo politics shift that you mentioned that's taking place in the world, we're talking to daniel mcadams, will be right back. or by the way, i always want to continue the conversation with you and all you gotta do so we can continue. that conversation is go over to twitter x, where my handle is rick sanchez, tv. look for me, rick sanchez, tv. i would really like to hear what you have to say whether you agree or disagree with me. all right. when we come back,
7:48 pm
let's talk about that speech by side of the ram paul with our guests and questions that are normally once again, not asked, don't go away, the 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 it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this,
7:49 pm
but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the kind of auto back how much sanchez, you know, what are the most important transformations that is taking place in the world today? especially in the conflict between east and west is the union that is being established by certain groupings of country where there used to be 12, or 3 organizations like a way of searching 20 or g 7 who seem to represent, quote, unquote the world. now there are other organizations out there, but seem to have a competing point of view. and those 2 points of view are reaching a point of almost intersection that will likely create one of 2 things. as we look
7:50 pm
at it from here. either more conflict or more understanding which will it be we're joined once again by daniel mcadam. he is the executive director of the ron paul institute. many of you who watches from all over the world of millions of you . i know because i've seen the numbers, i've seen conversations in the past that i've had with the dan, he's a proponent of trying to come up with a better way of, of handling our foreign policy. and, and to that note, i want to ask you something then about russia is making incredible inroads in africa, according to all reports that we see globally, china is that in roads all over the world, but in particular, in latin america, interestingly enough, so as an american as a proud american, it bothers me that we're losing certain parts of the world. and, and, and i guess i would ask you as someone who's been kind of
7:51 pm
a follower of the ron paul principal that were making too many mistakes and board policy. what do we need to do to get those regions back, or can we as well not for a while. i run a cli, what russia in china arguing is essentially non interventionism. i mean, when, in uh, when, uh, i think this, someone in latin america said when china comes, they bring their checkbook. when america comes to bring a lecture in hell. and that's, that's, that's how it is. you know, it's, the russia is not trying to overthrow governments overseas in some ways or not in provincialism, even in places close by like armenia. you know, you could consider it even threatening to their security, but they're not doing overseas or not towing africa. and advocates under going right now, it's very strong and ty, colonial spirit, we see everywhere throughout the region. and part of that is a reaction to us intervention is one policy starting with libya, for example, which on rece the forces of hell throughout africa. and that was the us doing,
7:52 pm
in no rush is trying to pick up the pieces are trying to pick up the pieces are, are there active in rush or the rock given the rest of the, of, of the continents they, they basically took a position of not intervention in new share with us was telling them you better restore your government, got to do this and that they still stood back and waiting for things to happen. so are honestly, they're coming with business deals. i'm not claiming that they're angels, but they're not coming with lectures and bombs and sections. and i think that's the key. non intervention isn't friendship with all who seek it. i mean, this is our founders, principles of friendship and free trade with all these states, the same with us. that's how we went back. maybe i should ask a question this way. that makes sense, what you just said, and we shouldn't be looking for friends. and i think we have had experiences in the past with presidents like kennedy perhaps, who tried that. but what are the forces that are keeping us from going out there with an open hand rather than a closed fist who's doing this? and why?
7:53 pm
while a lot of the military industrial complex, they drive us foreign policy, they funded the campaigns of people on capital hill or they fund presidents, they fund congressmen. they fund the think tanks to come up with the brilliant idea that a war would be just a rhythmic. they fund the media and, and they are our tax dollars are being stolen from us to give them a to, to keep replenishing the war machine. so i think that is a critical, this deep, deep corruption in american society. their entire economy is driven by war, and it will come home to roost because of working men and women of this country are seen the dollar being absolutely destroyed. and when they go to the store, they're having a heart attack every time. hopefully at some point they will connect the dots and realize the person picking their pockets. are the rich people who live up in mclean, virginia. you know, that's where the problems are. yeah. but you know, it's interesting, everything you just said that is the realization of places like africa and parts of
7:54 pm
the middle east. and, you know, certainly in latin america, which has been besieged in the past by the tactics that have killed hundreds of thousands of people as i will know, because it's where i come from, americans don't. by end of that, they don't understand. i watched the interview the other day with some folks. i don't know if i was watching cnn or fox or one of those cable channels that are all full of crap. and it was amazing to me. they interviewed people and they were saying things like, well, if my president says we need to do that, i trust him because, you know, i in fact, i think he should just choose his a successor. if he gets too old and they were saying things were there, they're dirty, they're trust in these, in this political institution. you know, these politicians just makes me feel like, wow, why aren't they questioning? why aren't they asking the questions that ran paul was questioning. why is that?
7:55 pm
as i think americans, in the most propagandized people on earth, you know, at least in the soviet period, they realize the government was lying to them. americans don't. they, you know, they're given their show of the big part of the crap and told that it's delicious chocolate pudding. you know, i mean, this is, i hate to be so true, but that's exactly what it is. and that's one thing. and the other thing is that americans don't travel, they have absolutely no idea what the rest of the world is like. and that makes our foreign policy cost free. they don't see the results and consequences of sanctions of bombing of starving kids. they never see it, and so therefore they just support it because they think it makes us strong and respected overseas, but it doesn't. and then there's the, the team and ization aspect. i am always taking a bag by how we can, and by the way, we're fickle about this because what we demonize today will be our friend tomorrow . but like right now it's the immunization of. she khomeini madura ro like the, there's a certain strategy level like
7:56 pm
a marketing strategy. these are the people we hate and you have to feed them too. so therefore, we're going to make sure our, our media, you know, the answers and cooper's and the world in the sean hannity's and these idiots you know, are going to convince you to hate these people a, by the way, i'm no fan of she or khomeini or madura or pool, or any of these guys, but come on, who would you rather have a beer with them or by the by that we'd have to 1st wake him up but continue pass. i mean the 5 minutes so is so detached from reality is his recent speech to america about the middle east was so detached from your, from reality, even try it out. the old domino theory if we don't stop now, he's going to take over poland, which is absolutely asinine. it was stupid the 1st time around, you know, things like america is the central country over and over again. you, you know,
7:57 pm
it's, it's these, these platitudes that are spoken by our leaders are, are, are assisting in dumbing us down. well, i'll tell you what, dan, it's a great conversation and i do wish that somebody at the state department is somebody somewhere within our system is listening to us and trying to make a deviation because i think if ever we've needed it, it's now, especially in the weeks and months to come. thank you. my friend, daniel mcadam, executive director of the ron paul institute. my thanks once again. you know, before we go, i want to remind you of our mission what we try and do here on a weekly basis. it's simple, really. i like to be silo the world. we've got to stop living a little boxes because the truth doesn't live in little box is where you only hear your point of view truths are everywhere. i'm rick sanchez and i'll be looking for you right here. again, as we try to provide
7:58 pm
a direct impact the the funkiest goose, tiny little headed this style which may simply just send to the new printer, which is the story i just use for mobile guessing sucks. so there's only get i used to be honest. can you
7:59 pm
just the the the people had given a as many in the west without you as being a foolish and wasteful enterprise instead of the building our domestic societies. we have to, i travel, coast based mobile externally, which of course states simply with no success which is linked to this conflict and relate to the 2nd como. the, [000:00:00;00]
8:00 pm
the us is once again exposed itself in front of the world by blocking even the councils extremely, we can call for a cessation of hostilities and gather. the one security council adopts the resolution to facilitate humanitarian aid supplies to gaza after the us blocked a proposal for an immediate cease fire. as the death toll in gaza surpassed to 20000 is really poor. so say they planned to expand their ground up 10 simple to push it into the central dogs. and the former head of nigeria as a central bank, is accused of illegally transferring millions of dollars into offshore account.
