7:30 am
is out right, you steps up to the microphone and he announces this historic piece deal. and i'm thinking, oh my god, this is important, right? he's got a new piece deal that he's announcing and he says is real, has agreed to it. he kind of stumbles his way through it, you know, as he often does. but in the book that i'm thinking you got to give this guy credit . this is a powerful message. israel as now offering israel as of a conference of new proposed to roadmap during cease fire and release of all hostages. the united states has work. relentless support is really security, get you monitoring supplies, and the guys that you get to cease fire and a hostage deal to bring this work to and, and bring this for to an ad. right. i mean, wow, impressive, i'm sitting here thinking this guys finally pulled it off right there. you have it . the president, the united states telling the world of israel has agreed to a deal that would end this,
7:31 am
this massacre of palestinians that we've been seeing. if true, this is an enormous step in the right direction, and it's going to show that mr. biden and the united states still have some cloud, some power over the government of a b, b and it's in yahoo. despite what we've seen up to now, right. right, right. maybe not so much because then what happened gets really weird. stay with me here. israel's prime minister being that's and yeah, who is then asked to respond to this deal. right. oh, my god, mr. prime minister, apparently you and mr. biden, to have this deal where you're going to, there's things going to come doing it, you know, want to be met and you know, says one is aspect what deal, what deal as this gets ugly, here's the headline. put it up. nothing. yahoo rejects biden's peace plan. it's being called a snob. so he is really, government says, no,
7:32 am
we ain't got no deal with us with you mister by ignore the us. and that's, and you know, once again seems to be telling the white house what it will or will not do. and he said they're basically saying, look, we're not working on the us as terms. you have no right to come in here or do a peace deal for us or announce a peace deal on your terms. and they do this, of course, despite using us funding and us weapons to do so. so let me give you some of the background here. nothing. yeah. who called the biden plan, a non starter? no way that he's going to agree to it. and then he goes on to say that israel's gonna stay the course and continue. it's a tax on gaza targeting rafa. i should mention that part of the reason for the net and yahoo snob has to do, and this is may be fair to him, to be fair to mister netanyahu. his cabinet is saying if you take this deal with bite and then we're going to force you out. so look, manila,
7:33 am
it seems to me, i mean, maybe i should ask as a question, doesn't that mean that the us prestige them, the power of the credibility of our government of washington is being determined by a couple of guys were running the shots and he is really work cabinet telling me nothing. y'all what he can get do who then tells the present united states what he can or can't do? so definitely moving back. i think. i think it's worse. i think it's worse than that. i think maybe nathan, yahoo was like joe joe who, who said what the last. i think this is yet another case of the bite ended ministration. hearing what they want to hear, they are are the best statement in the world in their own heads. we've heard consistently throughout this war that hamas has been wanting to negotiate. it's, it's always been is rarely side that insist on foraging on with this mission emission in which they have failed to identify the ultimate goal. why didn't desperately need to win right now, rick?
7:34 am
anywhere he can get it. we just saw that that uh, $300000000.00 temporary naval peer or just fall apart after augusta and blue through. i also heard of kids kite was lost in that natural disaster. this is yet another bush style mission accomplished banner on the big navy carrier bite and put this put in his mouth so often read that the media won't even make anything of this because, you know, they can't keep out. no, no, no, you're absolutely right. bed and you also right, and i think one of the most important points that you just made is something that we maybe haven't reported enough. there have now been several occasions were from us. i'm no fan of homeless. okay. but how boss is said we're willing to give you the hostages. we're willing to call a truce. let's sit down and talk about it. and it is real and let them know whose government is said, hell no, we don't want to be a part of it. no, we want to continue bombing the gaza and rafa and the palestinians who are there
7:35 am
right? 36000 people are dead at this point. meanwhile, meanwhile, the goal, what exactly that's that's, that's the question. meanwhile, in this crazy world where the white house is supporting a country that is killed, 36000 people, 98 percent of those by the way, are civilians including women and children. the u. s. is now punishing hard. wait for it. cuba. that's right. cuba. the us is keeping cuba on the list of countries that are quote, sponsors of terrorism. so, why am i mentioning this yesterday? cubans minister of foreign relations question. the move, noting that unlike is real, he was willing to cooperate fully. he says with the us state department and then a tweet, the name, the countries are now coming to campus defense. so let me take you through this. here they are. these are the countries in the region who are asking the us to take cuba off the terrace list. mexico on doris, olivia, police, dominica, nicaragua,
7:36 am
t lake, venezuela, columbia, and brazil. now if you're wondering why cuba was even on the list in the 1st place, which is a good question, this goes back to when cuba invited both sides of the civil war in columbia to a peace deal in atlanta a summer. right? the deal fell through and then some of the columbia and rumbles stayed behind. cuba gave them asylum. columbia said you shouldn't do that. we want them extradited, goes right. who knows? but when cuba refused columbia, and the us accused nevada of harbouring terrorist, and that's why they say now to this day that cuba is somehow a state sponsor of terrorism around the world look, criticizing cuba for it's $400.00 domestic policy over the years. that's fair. and people should do that. i think there's plenty to criticize. and many cubans would agree for the us state department to call to a terrorist country at this point in time. with washington's recent track record seems not quite a bit. maybe even almost c hardy. you tell me, and you know, what bothers me about this as a person who was born in cuba, who as family in cuba,
7:37 am
over the years, the people were paying the price for this us designation of the people of cuba. they've lost their right to compete in the open market. they can't trade, they can't, but they can't borrow. they can exchange good with the outside world, which means they don't have the benefit of a fair playing field because they're being blackballed by us. politicians is mostly for political reasons and by the state department. when you consider a rock scan to stay in syria and what's happening now in gaza. this terrorism designation against cuba. it seems like exactly the type of thing that's only going to further engage the global south community to call into question the foreign policy decisions that come out of washington these days and their credibility. i mean, and by the way, i do think that's a big deal. no, it's not so much about cuba. it's about people seeing the united states policy toward cuba going while you're picking on cuba. i mean, really?
7:38 am
yeah, i mean worth noting, rick, it's, it's not just latin american countries chime in on this either late last week. china weighed in the foreign ministry spokes woman mountain being said at a press briefing in beijing that quote, china firmly opposes us interference into both internal affairs under the pretext of counter terrorism. yeah, she went on to condemn, continued us political suppression and economic sanctions against the island. and on top of that rec, it's mixed signals coming from the state department just last month. tony blinking and made a public statement to remove cuba from it's short list of countries that they deem what they call less than fully cooperative in the way of counterterrorism, saying on, on may 15 that human and us law enforcement were again working together on counterterrorism. and other efforts, so i don't know here we swear this, rick, i mean on the one hand, they say 2, but is
7:39 am
a state sponsor of terror on the other. they say cuba is helping cooperating and just feeling terror. yeah. how good. it's hard to sift through but important to point out. and i think it's one of those things that once again goes right to the global self community that we often talk about. and speaking of the global south community guests, which may listen to this, which made a country is suggesting it wants to join bricks, bricks, turkey, the turkeys, foreign minister says his country wants to join the bricks. group of nations. bricks isn't an acronym that represents as many of you know, the watch are newscast association of the 5 major emerging economies in the world, brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa. but since they've been joined, as you probably know, as well by many, many other countries, in fact, everybody wants in. it seems like foreign minister of turkey con for don said he cannot ignore the fact that bricks is an important cooperate. pardon the
7:40 am
cooperation platform that offers country is a good alternative to western thinking. now, manila, this is almost in comprehensible. imagine a top member of nato, with, with one of the biggest armies in europe by the way, turkey, us, the military base their in their country joining brooks. i mean, i'm not sure this is going to happen, but i'm and then we're certainly not saying it. well, we're just saying this guys come out and said we're interested. but just to mention that a country inside nato, as big as turkey wants to either flip to the other side or be, or, or play on both teams. that's, that's big. that's noteworthy. that's newsworthy. that's something to pay attention to. well rick, i, i like in this to a dating analogy because really for policy is a lot like dating. i know you've been married a long time. i'm married too. but if we, if we think back, if you consider that turkey has long chased after the you and the u. s. flirted
7:41 am
back sometimes giving mixed signals. turkey continues to get courted by the you, through the nato club, that they go to. yeah, right. well, turkey has been waiting for a ring for a long time, but the you never puts a ring on it. so now there's this new guy in town named bricks. yeah, all the girls are blushing because we're just had the magical summer we're really came out of puberty for any suddenly looking sexy. and now turkey is, is i in bricks, but ultimately i think it's just to make you jealous, and the boys and girls at the nato club, they're talking. so ultimately, i think turkey would date, brooks, but wouldn't really, i think, really only wants the ring from the you and keep going. the club nato. i like it. you're, you're making me blush because it reminds me of how i got my wife or maybe she got me. i don't know with somewhere in the front of the land in her new land in her way . took her off the bark and put a ring on it. put a ring on it, that's a great,
7:42 am
that's rice and well done. it is only only you good manila. thank you so much. when we come back, by the way, speaking of briggs, there's an election in south africa that could spin that very important country in a completely different direction, possibly away from the global south. so now we're talking about this going in the other direction. we're going to be talking to clinton zavala. he's a reporter with the african stream as a pan africa media outlet. and we've got a lot to learn when it comes to africa and certainly south africa, which is certainly been receiving and share of news lately. we will be right back. don't go away. the the
7:43 am
the see the silver, the somebody. how can it be that um the ship to the middle east from a country whose top officials constantly complain about shortages of munitions and military equipments. literally located in the booth but of boston llc or even a little boy in your system with below grade level nominal facility or some of those other slash we, i'm about to the easiest to to not, you know, so one of the easiest, some of the bubble sold well, nice to know kind of the piece that have gone on now. well, why are weapons from ukraine spreading over the world to, to this country and to
7:44 am
a major arms hub, will continue to bolster ukraine's and forces by rushing them occasionally use that they need to defend their country. the everyone knows very well that we don't sell but known as pineapples or any kind of children's toys. we sell women. yes, we're also known in the world as homes dealers that we must not be ashamed of that the in the late 18 ninety's, french soldiers led by general to boot. i arrived in asia with the goal of expanding french control in west africa to the territory of more than shot. nowhere on on sunday. i mean, he stuck up some issues around the cars and dicks shown the list to the tent of who they on least one of the most horrific campaigns of a trustees to have ever taken place in the history of the continent. liability
7:45 am
getting somebody, i know the question that you download, the philosophy followed there. do some people, the national, most likely multiple villages with devastated a numerous members of resistance groups and what the headed on that apartment for us to get the move of nancy. and i'm going to be a young investigator in search of his own identity and box on that you need to africa. the choices general with eyes, blood drenched roots in an effort to establish how your legacy still echoes throughout the confidence. so my name is penny, and i come from england and i'm ready to find out more about the emissions of willie and the history of colonialism in the region. the welcome back on rick sanchez, was talking about something that we should talk about more often. i think joining
7:46 am
us now as a journalist who covers out the african politics recently, he wrote this about the countries recent elections with the prospect of the a and c being maybe bored about about the rights. there are 4 or 5 black individuals in the african national congress or given massive shares of white phone companies. so the companies look like they're at the forefront of an economic transformation. joining us here as clinton sala, he joins me now from nairobi. he rides for african stream and he's good enough to spend some time with us clinton. thanks so much for being with us. thank you, and it's a pleasure to be here. let's start with what you write based on the fact that look, i'll just give you my perspective as an american, right? or as a citizen of the world really when, when you think of the a and c, nelson mandela, the strong goals have lines. an institution that seem to change the world at the
7:47 am
time and, and what you're writing and what i'm reading and what many people are perceiving with this election is at the a n c a v a n c. it used to be right? you? yeah, correct. so i think we have to control the transition, and so that happened, we should remember that's a puck they did a because they're white. so that becomes fully funded. realize that people they've with the public image because they couldn't make plans in there. so that's kind of going on with the lights that i paid was by to be this, the customer has been function left spent on right. so why did they do they decide that they would need to transition to black governments while i get fitted can mean to me that during those when they called them. so i'll walk you through that in the list a to a pub, of what business me there most of by the executives from the american corporation, which i've added that to him was probably the biggest, my income limits one day to african continent. mm hm. they try go to via web and
7:48 am
see what was busy next hour. and they met the in the preventative while we mix up cause they had come to the in addition that apart they do not use of stage for more than 20. and so they needed to make contact with the people they saw that they were going to be in charge of the economy after the collapse of apostage, very sort of from the context you had people executed. i'm a poor son and he brought a low budget for safety of the coming close to the captains of industry. if i can quote them that's, i'm the white companies both dropped the in number a significant amount of shares because black can be just a poor reinvented as it will be black people, if they call me back to the doctor says it was, it will them for testing that be listed under the new government for the ones have to match what to say, that this is, it would not be touched by the in the government. and that's what was the beginning of the n c. so you for your shuttle going to vision, trying to get
7:49 am
a vision way after that general g is lots collision for, it's more in the subject or they were more of it. so rather than being the organic movement, we all thought it was for the organic movement that it eventually turned into. i think what we ended up with was let me just say it. you tell me if i'm over using this word, corrupt it what, what do you have to describe is corrupted when you're doing something for purposes other than helping the people of your country and you're taking money or taking business opportunities. you're basically corrupting your organization now. yeah, 100 percent of the money? i think i talked to that in the quarter up sounds like i'm on the meet, you talk to the not be they have a good middle if we have the cortex, no limits. so this is, that is where we and so if it is select a group of individuals become mouse, i need your name and some of them that will be provided be on there. while i just sent the most of the people who enjoyed the title or about,
7:50 am
but these people who are short on the fees via living conditions, probably many, almost the same in the past. got the dickens. as, as i hear you say that i've been thinking, if the and see loses these elections, which it sounds like, that's the direction that we're heading toward. then who will form the new government and, and what kind of individuals are those? so the, the elections that'd be hid the results of the non so announced the n. c port less than of 50 percent. it's while the boards a number that is needed for them to form governments. so what, what that implies is that the n c one needs to go into i'm alliance with by another political party to form government. so they diverted critical position. quote, the only other parts of it can going to and my last week he said that they couldn't mix, we don't fight, does, which is a big,
7:51 am
it broke our from the n c in 2014. so it is that part of which is very fun, africa, and she's also very much left just playing tag, mix it in the mines, which include the additional additional bit mines. i'm also each ones that the central coastal doctor got should be nationalized. each was a warranty. they, they did it that way, a truck submission of the economy. i knew that the mass which did still struggle to reach because it's such a pending to the business community in south africa and also to the international business committee, was not going to allow the industry to take advantage of the other alternatives that it is the have if a democratic colors now the democratic island is a white legs party that the government, i'm guessing most of the sports from the white community. and so these parts and you said park to where we did, they started for business community or she for this model of the end of the democratic ideas. so and so they kind of his mother's yet if, if that happens and,
7:52 am
and pardon me, i didn't mean interrupt. i thought you were finished with that thought, if that happens most especially the lighter that you just described, where most of the folks who are part of the old white establishment kind of get back and power will, will they then get away from the global south thinking that we've seen themself have forgotten fact south africa is about a breakfast. i mean they're the ones who are leading the push away from the monetization efforts in the western ideology that we see in the london and washington and moving toward russia, china india, china. i think i said trying to twice, but the middle east for example, what, what's gonna happen to that movement that's taking south africa away from western ideology and moving more towards global self ideology. if this were to happen that you describe when this government is formed. so if it was to happen it to mean if it took to central position from basically because what the democrats of color does
7:53 am
your support on the rest of the country did the trucks color, size me a little? i'm just good one. the question of him from the democratic guidelines is suddenly behind these bo, if, if draws diaries, political movements, lots of come up strongly interest opportunities out there long, busted into decisions before the decision detectives are to evaluate the data. so that's why it is very difficult for me to think of the 2 political buttons meeting halfway. because even though the local front, the democratic i asked for plug is or to a point, it says that the n c has tried to diminish drunk from the corner. we can get black people to participate much when they come to me. they've got a point of score drug disney. we're going to be compartment also the point where the nc i've tried to turn some more lines, the black ones called at the moment white. so nothing comes or more than a civil district. this central belonged to the country. this despite them, mick my age to think of the population. so the n c have yeah, yeah,
7:54 am
it sounds vast the, i mean, it sounds like they hate each other as much as republicans and democrats hate each other in general. here in the united states, except when you're talking about corruption and foreign policy, then they all come by. i agree with each other, but it sounds like there's a real disparity here. i guess my question to you as we start to wrap up this interview, is what i know you're not assume say, or you can't predict the future. but do you think that we're going to be heading in that direction where a party that is the polar opposite of what the south african government has been doing for the last year will take shape to so i think is i'm gonna post a and if to you've gotten into trouble really supports i like the democrats, the last you're actually going to stressful position cause these parts these many weaknesses. the n t i book a robust, you cannot get hooked up. so if middle by my lions, which triggered your movements, the confidence of so that's
7:55 am
a continuance. and then also if i not alliance with this, i don't think i'm coming to sparks. so i think they look within the movement is for the, for the most democratic moments. the want of pause in outlining between the democratic colors that you don't want to pause because the democratic alliance has been calling for this property. well, the name of which is i don't think so that means how much it's i don't think it's the kind of by the democratic alliance of the say that's the by the yeah. to give you things for the democratic ally as you try it, which are wicker rights been the n c and used to position douglas? yeah. trade in get a lot of support from the trade union movement in south africa. so to be clear, you think the amc by maneuvering positioning and who knows what else will be able to somehow form some kind of coalition that keeps enough power on its side. so that the ideology of the country, the governance, or better yet the thinking that comes out of the hottest part doesn't flip is that
7:56 am
what i'm hearing you say exactly, but there we go. that's not because a lot of people, but people that think they fear they back to us from the citizens. i'm from the general functions within the n c. quotes that they are based on the life of the democratic. alas, that's going to be seen as sitting out there with some individuals and that property of 2 associated properties. so most likely that's what is going to be in the in 6 out of 3 people. that's, that's amazing. and the fact that you have such a grasp of this and have been able to take us through it and, and help us here in the united states and around the world to understand something which seems so complex is really remarkable. and it's a credit to you and your skills as a journalist and as a writer. thank you. clinton for taking time to join us today and for taking us through this. we appreciate it. thank you so much. i hope to make another appearance on the well,
7:57 am
we very much like having you on and we hope to see you again. and that's our show. remember, as you know, we always say uh, one of my idioms around here is always look outside your own box. choice don't live in boxes. sometimes you have to go to nairobi or south africa to find the truth. i'm rick sanchez. we'll see you again next time. the a when i went to the wrong just on the safe house to come after care and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves will
7:58 am
