the, the harbor buddy, i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact and this is what we're going to be talking about today. one new pulse suggest vice president comma la harris isn't performing much better. see, i'm not sure. i saw that coming. i think that's fascinating. so what actually are the vice president's approval numbers? they aren't good. i'm going to show them to you. i'm rick sanchez. let's do this, the, the okay, here we go. once again, it's a topic that's been in the news a lot lately mister by the president of the united states. looks he's got an image problem right now. and, and the problem is what people are seeing on video with their own eyes. the white house says eyes and the rest of us in the media who show you these images are

distorting reality, that these are fig. pictures is what essentially the white house spokesperson said just the other day. are we really? so once again, there is a video that is being shared all over the country really all over the world, which is very damaging to the president and it's sad, right? i haven't shown you this video because i, i, i just felt uncomfortable. i almost feel like i'm picking on an older person, you know, like one of my parents or grandparents. but now this has become more newsworthy because, well, there's a new report out about the b p. carmella harris. so 1st, let's look at the video here. it is the, the, now you can see everybody, they're singing and everybody's, you know, wide awake and everybody's excited and he's just like, standing there. this is bored. no movement whatsoever. and people have looked at

that as of now. and now look at the for, look at the, the vice president. she's dancing, she's getting a group on, she's actually looks like she's got a lot of rhythm and she's a pretty good dancer. right? so, all right, that's, that's the picture. i mean, like it is what it is you're, you're watching a try. you saw the 2 things there you saw come on harris. what appears to be, you know, uh at least compared to the president uh, showing a lot of bigger and you know, she's someone who is moving a lot. uh, but unfortunately, and here's where the rubber kind of meets the road on this story. her poll numbers are not that much better than the guy who doesn't move so well. watch this is concerns over president fines. age continued to hang over his re election campaign . one new poll suggest vice president comma le harris isn't performing much better . a political, more than consult survey found 52 percent of those asked, viewed,

vice president harris on favorably. now of course these rocking numbers can't and won't keep harris off the campaign trail. politicians tend to sold or through such things. soldiers throw such pigs some interesting way only uh, cbs news which basically works for the state department would present the story the way they do. and then if you were to watch the entire thing, you'd see that they're rather apologetic in their presentation of the story. but here's the bottom line and they can't deny it. nobody else can. only 40 put only 42 percent of americans approve of her performance. this is according to political and warning console. these are legitimate pulse. that's terrible. i mean, that's terrible. i mean, i don't get it. is she being dragged down by maybe mr. biden's health problems isn't her performance? what do you think, manila, what is it? because these are really bad numbers for a, b, p, v, p. usually they don't usually matter enough to get either really good or really bad

numbers, but these are really bad numbers. oh, well rick, here's the uncomfortable thing, right? is, has america or the world yet thought that if joe biden wins another term, if he were to die in office, i know that's a crazy thing to say. but if he dies in office and the 2nd term, that means we get a president, comma le harris. and these polls further go to the bulk this whole ages. i'm saying that all america is hating on an old person. that's not the case because comma harris is young and vibrant. she's even a good looking lady. yeah. still don't like or nobody. and i mean nobody wants combo a harris and i can tell you as a california native, she was a very unpopular ag making. 7 so much good use of the old 3 strikes law that was established in 1994. and when she was running against bite and in the,

in the 2020 primary destroyer she couldn't win. yeah, she called went on home state california because according to polls she had, she dropped out 3 months prior to avoid humiliation. after tolten gathered aid her lunch at those debates. democrats just have nobody else rec, do you know, would you know what i think what i see her, especially since she's been vp part of that, i barely knew what she was. uh huh. i see someone who is surprised that they're the vice president of united states. i. oh, i'm sorry, but she like somebody who looks in the mirror when it goes, oh my god, i'm the books president and she goes around. i can't hear you exactly. maybe is to me, but i mean, she doesn't, her persona doesn't fit the role. she doesn't look like she has any of that. grab a task, but i'm not, i don't want her to be dick cheney trust me, but there's something in the way she's always laughing. uh huh. i related with joe and she's god bless. she just she looks like she's very,

very uncomfortable. yeah. i don't know what it is quite comfortable and i think whatever i'm feeling because i'm just an average idiot, right. i think the rest of america looks at that and says, yeah, there's something there that just doesn't add up with her. so anyway, here's, here's something else. this is important. russian, president bush must have been watching my show yesterday. i doubt it, but it, but regardless, these kind of saying the same thing that i mentioned yesterday when i said that it's amazing. but people who live in western countries know so little about this guy, good or bad? few of any know his actual points of view. do you ever hear him speak? i mean, watch this news conferences or watchers news conferences, i should say. but, and that's just not smart, mr. brewton. he's now in vietnam. he is continuing, is his a 0, i am asked me whatever you want to, or at any, talked about this very thing yesterday. coincidentally, here it is c, as in some settlement, them in some of the most of them got

a new point in front of months. i'm going to need you to those the book and girl and them about the in front of months. it was more than by them what you still got against both of the you get to me and then say, can see as in the i even the we own you will be due to the mean, the instruments unimportant. he's saying russia and in particular, i think has an information problem, not the i think what he's saying is how do we get this message out? how do we get people to pay attention to at least our point of view, even if they disagree? well, i mean, look, wrecked. the tucker interview was really the 1st major exposure put in got to a western audience for years. western media had maligned him as some sort of like a dr. able character and, and had in effect, banned him from their airwaves. and as with any russian related media, right,

just as those tensions with ukraine ramped up, i had a b, s, m o, back in february. and by the way they do. but by the way, the current of your to as soon as the interview was over every wester, news media said, oh my god, can you believe i right there, the shoring tucker. 7 that after that without it was my joy, right? that's my point. poor messaging problem is not that of his own creation in the american strangle hold on hollywood and on media. and furthermore, furthermore, rick, the prudent style. what we saw on that tucker interview blunder put is very nuanced . i'm very detailed. yeah. the west. we would call that long winded but western audiences view of the world in 15 seconds. it costs flips in sound bites. that's our culture. and as a result, our political discourse has also been reduced to this. i'm not saying i agree with it, but no matter what it is. so if the russians or the chinese or north korea wish to be more impactful in reaching western audiences,

they'll need to get more adept at what appeals to those cultures. and it's, it's these quick, snappy little sound by some portion. yeah, i get to see put and doing a tick, tock, video every day. i mean, the, i know, i know, but i know you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're making the point to make a point. i don't think that's because of just the but it actually is true sadly enough that the fact that the guy doesn't want an hour, hour, an hour and a half long interview details the history. oh wow. yeah. and, and, and, and then people say, oh i was boring, is like, what do you want? all right, here's a shocker to read it as well, or maybe just a fake announcement. i can't tell at this point, but a ukrainian ambassador, a woman named katarina, letting go. she has come out on the record and said something that i didn't expect . she says ukraine would be willing to attend a peace summit sponsored by china, where you, courtney, and officials would be face to face with russian officials to negotiate

a peace deal. here's a statement. i'm going to read it to you. it goes like this. ukraine would consider participating in a base ring lead piece summit with both warring sides present so long as the talks are based on the rules and the principles and try and in the un charter and international law. manila, are they bluffing a well look wreck there are mixed signals coming from key of on these proposed china talks 1st. this is not a china only proposal. let's get that clear. this is co sponsored by brazil and the pitch that idea of yeah, in early may i had of zelinski is lot of a summit in switzerland. it is a 6 point plan that has been endorsed by a 100 countries premier. 6 early in the global south is backer. say it's a path to ending hostilities. it's critics say. china is doing rushes bidding now state department spokesman, matt miller is spinning all of this and saying china is just trying to undermine

key and steal the stage. the seeing the, the new power broker. so while you have the a bass or calling china a friend of ukraine, you have the so called president of ukraine, who has, i would say you search power for the last month. say he's going to follow the lead of his finance years, namely the us and u. k. so the question is whether or not the, the interest in attending these new round of talks is sincere. i can't answer that . i don't know to be a master. i can't get into rehab, but my read is that she's expressing what the parliament of ukraine wants, those who are still in their official capacity and saying what zelinski can't say. yeah, and i, and i think it may have something to do with the unmitigated disaster. as you mentioned, that was that swiss summit where they invited a $160.00 only 9 the showed up of those $9080.00 of them signed the a court to have now backed out. china wasn't invited,

russia wasn't invited. i mean the china was invited. they just to get a little they said, if you're not going to have rush to hear what the hell you're doing, right. and i mean, yeah, we're wasting our time, which is kind of a general question. we're going to have a fight between 2 great boxers. but only one of them is going to show up who wants to go? i mean, what if it, if it is interesting that this is being presented now with follow it, we'll see if it's legitimate and we'll see what happens up as usual. uh, have a great weekend partner, i appreciate you bank sharing your thoughts. take care. all right, i'm going to join a guest here real quick and i'm going to be talking to him. now he's got a different explanation than i do regarding why mister pool has visited and sign a pack with the north korea pod, castor and journalist trig sarah will be joining us here. in fact uh there he is going to be having a conversation in just a little bit and i look forward to it cuz this is one really smart guy who writes some pretty interesting stuff. we will be right back

the in a very public light, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, as the amended divide in ministration. give him the tools to finish the job in gaza . is this a demand to finish the genocide? again, this sounds like a blank check to cross any in all the 6 off or what go that you got to get better. you go to the hospital. yes. what you need to do to help you say, i mean what, what do you need to walk up to people that are drug addicts, just going cold. turkey is like going through withdrawals and a lot of these from school to withdrawal, giving them money were killed. so you just gotta give him

the valve cover. i don't want to go as no one, not very good, but truly getting worse and worse every year. as we go, the the, so the high, all you need polarity i, velocity is, has actually colored out the, the will spring, no state craft type abilities within the institutions of the american political system. and it has essentially leaves off the vipers of x and mary thomas, the

hey, welcome back. i'm rick sanchez. and joining us now is drake 0 amar? he is a pod, castor and the journalist writes, with a very fresh perspective about global affairs. you can read his material out on the 9th wave. that's who he uh what, what's he right, what he writes, as in some stock, i am a subscriber. so i've had a chance to read some of his writings that i, and i think it's kind of fascinating. let me start with what i mentioned as we were going to break. i was reading with interest your article about why mr. brewton went to north korea. i have been sharing my opinion that he went to north korea because he simply messaging, same reason he's on ships and to have and the same reason he's doing military exercises off of the caribbean. he's basically telling the world, look, i do have muscles and i'm going to show them to you. you're saying it's something else. it's about satellite communications with north korea. explain

my, my main argument is that there are many reasons why you went and i think i actually have a few. why don't reason is office do what everybody has been pointing out in the west and the russians have some of the rise in would be i've been talking about and the own media, which is that is a gesture towards the best. and generally in particular to the rest of the asia pacific region that suggests that towards the united states, it's a tester towards south korea, japan, maybe to an extent, australia, all of these things in play here. but i think it has been overlooked as something that is again, which is that my sense is that it's in particular also aiming at south korea. because south korea in recent years has really ramped up. it's almost exports as quickly as

a very serious military industrial complex pocky because of its own geo political situation on this, you know, 4th line, but it's not career here. it has a very substantial industry. and it, since the ninety's, it has made an effort to make it technologically cutting edge of this basically it seems succeeded materialism tested, but they can bid for us to, to ration. i thought that they can build network centric tags and so on and so on. and the 2 things about south korea that i think doug certainly important for us as long as that sounds cool. yeah. as i'm officially, but it's very likely that they've already applied supply military supplies to ukraine, of course, versus 5 to rain by now. but the other thing that is often overlooked is the poland is wrapping up. it's military massively pulling this planning in a relatively short time to dump it as

a size actually more than double the size of its length for us it is a and it is also taking them out. this as last year from the high cost pool is put additions, have talked about spending at least 4 percent, maybe 5 percent of g d, p on this new arguments problem. and, and the very large amount of these weapons of these advanced weapons systems is going to come from south korea to give you just one figure. it includes 100-1000 main, better tanks. all right? that is an extreme number, i think. so it's $58.00 1st generation pilots. it includes almost $300.00 howard, so systems and so on and so on. and so more over pulling that south korea have already agreed that much of this material in the bigger it's actually important on the license, right. so that's also technology transfer from this volume on south korean house

industry to poland and poland. do live with the is planning already to use this know how that they've been acquired in this process, improvements the duty to become and even stronger on exports or to the rest of may to you, your, let me stop here. let me just stop here for a minute because i have a question about what you just said, because i find what you're saying to be absolutely fascinating. what you just described, this confluence between south korea and poland, which sounds like a bit of an arms build up. is this being done at the behest of nato and washington, or are these just 2 countries that are figuring out a way to make money off of ours, which they have every right to do. that was the koreans, it certainly is making a lot of money. i mean, it's almost these contracts are brought to almost a month, almost $15000000000.00. i think it did right, wasn't homeless. but on the other side,

all of these items will be made to compatible. right. and if you think about the politics involved, it's very easy to see that non offices could be happening if the united states was not in agreement on both sides of. so united states was not in agreement with south korea delivering and was pulling and taking this initiative to business and almost land on it. if you think about what this looks like from russia's perspective, from west coast, perfect perspective lines only like this, right? this basically you better bring gram aiming, not only at ross so, but at ross as most important region of allied eastern europe, which is below rooms. and of course pulling has very complicated relationships with better homes. so i think that all the factors that you have in numerated aren't right. i don't doubt that. but that as a very specific agenda here on moscow's product concerning specifically the south

korea and then 16 costs on south korea for this type of engagement. so what's interesting about this conversation that we're having is we often here are leaders here in the west and certainly in washington. and we've heard this from the white house and most definitely from the state department when put in or when she or other leaders like that say, we have to defend ourselves because it looks to us like these guys are doing some things that make us feel like they're getting ready to knock on our door or worse. right. and then the state department of washington always says they're lying. that's not true. they're using that as an excuse. they're making stuff up, their crazy, etc, or whatever it is that the reason is, and you're saying there is, as we say in law prima fall, she evidence that the west is in fact doing this and that it is a direct threat to russia and perhaps other countries as well as you stay with beller is yes, i mean look, it's a classic cars alone, right?

as long as the state came home, it's of and it may even actually mean these elements to sort of defense. but from the side, from the perspective of another state, that states cannot tell if these are going to be used only for defense, awful, offensive purposes as well. right? and this dilemma has always been playing. the problem is the west is that via and denial about this fact we expect that china or russia for instance, simply take all words, but no longer government in history has taken the words of a potential or pulling. yeah. in this regard, that would simply not be normally a security. do you did that? you know, it wasn't full heart reporting and people don't answer the fact that our adverse of the or the guy, somebody has a side simply take all word for it. that doesn't make any sense. i could speak to,

to a physician, i could listen to you forever. because you, you obviously think a lot and write some interesting stuff about this and it is a fresh perspective. but i've got to ask you about germany. i, as i'm hearing you say that as i've read what you've written about germany and israel, for example, but now i want to ask you, what is germany stand and all of this the other day, the ukrainian strong man who's i'm elected by the way, just for the record went to germany, and apparently half of the pm's didn't even show up. they protested his speech. i didn't want them there. what are the germ, how much are the germans like the polls or not like the polls in this situation? i would say they're going to be like suppose, but they're not. when you look at the german minister of defense, they've got a court bodies, but stores. i'm sure he's incredibly jealous of what his police call he can do. right. but the german situation is that the rhetoric is sometimes to them, but likes to pull his right to break. now. very interesting,

very decisive and so on and so on. but the germans don't actually want to pay for this. they've been talking about this, but them not making this type of financial effort. no, the gentleman on me right now is around 200000 soldiers during the cold war restaurant with a low and have 500000 and peace time. if you edit the east germans got 200001 this side, you had 700000 terms constantly on the us, among other things to go off each other as well. right? so right, that was the avenue driven spot. now can't even find a way to expand the homie completely unlike the polls. so i think that from west coast perspective, hold on looks like a much more serious adverse of a right now. in germany, not the germany looks benevolent, but germany probably from the russian perspective, doesn't look serious. pulling does actually look serious. while drake 0

amar is a podcast or a journalist, you can write, you can read him at 9th wave on the sub stack, and we thank you, sir for taking time to take us through this explanation. please come back. i'd like to talk to you again. i think you know, so that's our show. remember, once again that we always believe that truths don't live in boxes. so we shouldn't look for truths in boxes. and when i say boxes, i mean only what we think and what our friends think truths are everywhere. that's what we believe that's our mission. i'm rick sanchez. thank so much for being with us. i'll be looking for you again, right here on direct impact until next time to the

the, the 1st 3rd of the 19th century was marked by the aggressive expansion of the united states. the american sought to seize as much territory for settlement as possible. ignoring the sovereignty of the neighboring states and the interests of the indigenous peoples in 1845, washington announced the annexation of mexican texas. and in march, 1846, american troops invaded mexico. however, mexico itself did not have enough means to effectively confront the enemy. besides, it was being torn apart by internal conflicts. the americans manage to turn the tide of the war in their favor. in september 18, 47, the u. s. army captured mexico city. mexico was forced to assign

a humiliating peace treaty according to wait to get lost 55 percent of its territory. vieques agent of the lands to the united states led to terrible consequences, bloodshed, genocide was committed against the indians in california. during the 1st half and 3 of the american ruled, the number of the indigenous people in the region decrease from 150216000 people. slavery which had been abolished in mexico long before the united states attack was restored on the occupied territory. this will later become one of the reasons for the civil war in the united states themselves. nations like individuals are punished for their transgressions. we got our punishment. american president ulysses grant wrote about the consequences of aggression against mexico several decades later the or

the in 1960 the americans rollers, the huge bellwether operation, documents smoked the of the reading, found their way online. the us army chemical,

coal research and development combined in june 1960, directed the dugway proving ground utah to investigate and develop into more logical field testing techniques designed to permit the quantity of evaluation of into a logical munitions of these tests formed the basis for developing offensive, biological weapons, no withstanding that in april 1972, the us britain and the soviet union signed a convention strictly prohibiting such developments. and many ca, seamless money on the 2nd year coming in super village school. but that's in the model you see in utah seems the put the she or say she can wait for the use of the billing scalable authorities. tickets the full may end an easy and health minister city. if i do that so potty trying to find out what was going on in the mysterious number to us lab opened in her country in the early 19 seventies. surely if the less permit to do for the position of the shots until we go

infectious diseases, which is an issue in many sales staff that the pollution never happened. most of the larry ships program was 7 days themselves. and but the very need to apply to get up with all this stuff, the number to me, it's a face to face my the at the with the was off. but so now what do you, is madison's official who of them were to drive that into and save from my accounts a to be, couldn't see the act if it is a little let me did, didn't see what was the south of any subs. so i to, i tell.
