2:30 pm
do let's do this. the all right, boy, another week. it seems like we say this every time and they just get wilder and wilder, but a lot of news, a lot of things going all over the world, including here in the united states. joining me to recap. busy of these. busy these are the oceans critical hour on videos, butler, dr. wilmer leon, and garland mix. and they're, they are my partners to talk about a lot of stuff that really matters. and i guess we have to begin, well, it is real. israel has begun executing a series of assassinations. i'm killings all over the world really in many countries, at least 5 when i last counted. nothing more brazen, of course than what they have just done inside of a rom, that's a key word. and this happens inside of a ron, they didn't just kill somebody, they went inside of a ron in a sovereign territory and assassinated somebody essentially an attack that has were
2:31 pm
reverberated all over the world. we have some great news coming in at this point of time off. see if man, hon. yeah. and one of his body guards have been killed and there are late breaking reports that a how boss leader was assassinated by his real india. ronnie and capitol of tyrone thomas says its political leader is smile. and the a has been assassinated into her on iran. revolutionary guard has confirmed the death saying here, and his body guard were killed and an attack on his residence in the iranian capital. alright gentlemen, i think we'd have to start with this question. are you taking a bag? should we be taking a bag by his rails? a brazen this? it almost seems like the what is real is doing. and some of the things that we're seeing inside of israel used to be fringe. and now they're becoming almost very main stream. wilmer, why don't you get us started on this? yes, taken a back but not surprised because these are the. ready the, the,
2:32 pm
what are they say, the last kicks of a dying mule are the most dangerous. and what israel is really, really now trying to do by such a aggressive action, they're trying to do everything in their power to bring the united states into the fight. because israel knows without the united states involved, it's over and even with united states, it's still over. and it is a tangential element of this look at the fact that the value of the shuttle has dropped dramatically. so not only are they losing, on the military side, they're losing all the economic side, but we have, but we have people in his real, literally protesting in support of the incredibly hard right when a war cabinet and some of the crazy things they're doing, like they want to preserve the right to be able to sort of my eyes palestinian prisoners. i mean i, i don't even know what, what to say about that garland,
2:33 pm
but that's what's actually going on as well. and what is real is doing is demonstrating to the world that is not, is it that it's not a responsible power. it's also really damaging if it's possible to, to further damage the reputation of the united states. it's damaging the reputation of the united states because all of these acts that happen rather than condemn them rather than talk about them in a rational manner. the united states supports them. in fact, the one of the spokesman for the us when asked about the actions of a gang raped, of a palestinian prisoner refused to call it a, you know, a war crime or didn't to call it a violation of international law. so it's not just is real here, this is a direct reflection of us international policy. you know, uh, the ayatollah khomeini apparently is, tweeted a response, suggesting a retaliation. now against is real. you would almost think he would have to say
2:34 pm
this, right? and let's look at the statement that he put out. let me read it to you. go ahead, victor. save it and put it up there. quote, the criminal terrorist zion is regime martyred. our dear guest in our territory because it was as you know, the leader of hamas, who they took out, not an iranian. and that has caused our grief. but it is also prepare the ground for us severe punishment. so what he's saying is that they are going to engage in some kind of retribution. but what a history tells me, and you guys tell me if you agree with me or disagree with me. interestingly enough, iran is usually much more measured than is real, is with this kind of thing. they're not the kind of country that's going to suddenly bomb israel tomorrow or jerusalem. they usually use a little more slight of hand and they're a little more patient about their response. am i right, or am i wrong, wilma, you're right in terms of the action itself, but the, the,
2:35 pm
the language that's being used here, they had to use that language. and one of the things from a cultural perspective that is incredibly important for people to understand is whole main. he said martyred our dear guest. and in their culture, it is when someone is a guess, it is their obligation to take care of that guest. and when you that and so they have, it's not only that they monitor demand, but the guest dynamic here is incredibly, incredibly important. that word should not be just summarily dismissed because it means a whole lot more to them. then it means to, yeah, you may be a honda something here and, and i think this is where this becomes interesting. garland, this recent spray of attacks by israel it, it wasn't just with iran or just with love and on. i mean, it included syria, it included a rock, it included loving on. so you know, the,
2:36 pm
those are 5 countries. i mean, they're almost asking for a for ging, of forces that will likely at some point be working against them if not all righty now. well, i think it was the side of desperation. that's the other part of it because things aren't going well for is real. certainly their economy is in free fall. they, they are the internally, there are nearing a civil war in that we, in some of the police came and tried to arrest the, the electorate perpetrators of the gang raven is real, other members of their community, of the more extreme, the settlers were literally getting in a fight there was, there's rumors that the shots were fired, so they're in bad shape economy economically, they're following the parts politically and internally, culturally, they're falling apart and they're losing the war. so right now, i think it's a hail. mary has to try to drag into us but, but, but, but they have, and they did in fact this, you know, we're starting this conversation on the back end, you know,
2:37 pm
in the last chapter of the book, so to speak, or one of the last chapters because this began last week when that's and yeah, who came to the united states and literally began dictating u. s. foreign policy in front of the us congress. well, our vice president was him from that. and our president was somewhere looking like a corpse, i guess, gave an 11 minutes speech on the same day yet. you know, here's what's interesting about this. we still accuse russia of interfering and meddling in us affairs while we have the a special while we have a prime minister of a country in our country, dictating foreign policy, giving this for bushes, speech in front of congress, where he's telling people what they need to do, and it's almost like he's the see. oh, you know, it's funny. i mentioned this, this, this trans surgeons of energy is where we, we're blaming rusher for something. they're not doing well. we're ignoring what
2:38 pm
israel is doing. i mentioned this, i did a whole segment on it this week. i don't know if you guys saw that the very next day, the sound bites, historical sound buy from actor paul newman, goes viral on the internet. watch this with me in 1978 or 79. the israeli shot down a libyan civilian aircraft because it violated is really aerospace president nixon instead of wire to conduct fee and this a doc is apologizing for this incident. there was no talk about of going into the united nations. it was the international pilots associations had their meeting. there was a 102 nations that voted to condemn is real and it, and for that that voted not to and the american representative epstein. why? because there was, we couldn't create an enemy there. but when the soviets shoot down an airliner, the same situation, we rise in roll outrage against this act. what is the difference?
2:39 pm
because if it is in the system, we must insist that the soviets have got to be created as an enemy. otherwise, if they're not really a big enough enemy, how we're going to get appropriations from. why is that not amazing how that same damn thing that he's talking about is still true today? and it's also interesting that you don't hear that type of voice today in the world that we're living and certainly here in the united states. and what a shame, you know, i mean what, what a damn shape garlic as well, you know, there was also an instant message. i don't believe i don't remember if it was a key or cable or an e mail that was revealed during the trumpet administration direct jemerson where they basically, you know, said look, if it's our friends, then we overlooked these things and it's our address areas. then we, then we will take advantage of them. this is a kind of empire imperialism. you know, what i mean, we have the right to make the moral decisions of who's right and wrong. and we do
2:40 pm
that in a way that's capricious. we do that in a way that as a, that is self serving. so our foreign policy in our moral positions become nothing but a self serving bracket. yeah. you know, empire is one word. you know, a lie. it may be a better word though for it go ahead roemer. that also shows you good dynamic of the shift of the left. because when paul newman, that twin in the united states, the left was more left for the coast bill clinton and the democratic legislative council moving the democratic party further to the right. and that's one of the reasons why now you, it's harder to find actors and actresses, people in hollywood, other people of that stature, to have that type of narrative, that type of analysis, and to speak with that type of clarity. because the left in the united states is
2:41 pm
right now. uh right now, go ahead. go ahead. i got something important. as to what rumor said, he was talking to the phil donahue. phil donahue was kicked off of w a. m. m s m c t last. the number one show on m s n b c. he lost that show simply because he opposed the invasion and subsequent our occupation of iraq. i work that i'm a sudden busy at the time. i met mr. donahue, and i call him back because i revered him as a boy growing up when i finally got a chance to work with him and having somebody say he and i became pretty good friends. we would often sit in the coffee in the commissary and talk about the, about what was going on at the time with the rock more. and we both were in agreement along with lester holt, who was the 3rd part of that of that coffee club. and we all agreed at the time that what our country was doing was crazy and wrong. and phil got axed eventually. so did i, and lester moved on, so there's little personally,
2:42 pm
probably by may quickly go ahead. when i was in high school, i used to come home from high school in wash, the phil donahue show me to uh and my, i may say, rick, you are the closest thing on television to phil donahue that we have. that's nice. i appreciate you saying that that's true. yeah, that's true. i'm going to pay for your next round a golf. we take a break. when we come back, we've got to talk about the us presidential election. it's getting crazy. it's getting interesting. it's changing by the minute and there's so much to talk about . we're going to be right back. don't you go away? of the,
2:43 pm
the, the, the, all right, let's talk about us politics and boy. things of what things are really changing and moving the us present over a presidential race. i still think is donald trump's to lose no matter where you look. he's up at least 2. sometimes 3 points and pretty much still dominating most
2:44 pm
of the big battle ground stakes. but here's what i see. harris is making up a lot of ground fast because she's being managed very carefully. her handlers are now preparing every word that comes out of her mouth. every move that she makes is, is, is choreographed and to be fair to her. she's playing the part very well so far. right. i mean, we haven't seen or challenged yet where she has to get off the prompt her, but regardless looks good, right. trump, on the other hand, just not discipline. i mean, he's going off the car whenever he wants to last night. his performance at the black journals conference was a disaster. it's vibrate like within half a 2nd. he's just roofing. and well that works well for him in the primaries because he's really good at it. right, and certainly it works it's, it's based on the people who love him. he needs to understand or maybe is handlers . i don't know need to understand that doesn't work for the general,
2:45 pm
especially for moderate voters that he needs to bring in. so what he needs to do is explain how he's going to make america great again, and it's not by attacking women or being overly negative, or staying crazy. things like this. christians get out and vote just this time. you won't have to do it anymore. 4 more years, you know what? it will be fixed, it will be fun. you want to have devoted a more my beautiful christians. i love you, christians, i'm not interested. i love you get out. you gotta get out and vote in 4 years. you don't have to vote again. well, have it fixed, so good. you're not going to have the, you know what he means. he's trying to say that we're going to fix the system. so it's not like you have to go vote to fix the system anymore. that's what he meant when it came off as is, 1st of all, i love you, my christians. second of all, he said he's not a christian. and then he said in 4 years, it's all going to be fixed. i don't know if it's the word choice or just, you know,
2:46 pm
the guys that i don't know which one of you wants to jump in here, but that's not a good luck. well, the adage is, never under estimate the blindness that attends arrogance. and so what you're seeing exhibited by donald trump is sheer arrogance. you're right, vice president harris right now is being incredibly well managed in more so to her credit, she is now listening to her managers. mm hm. because one of the knocks on her was. ready she doesn't listen and by not listening, she goes in unprepared. right today. and you had said a lot of stupid things in the past because of that has said not only a lot of stupid things and said a lot of things we just can't comprehend. so so and that, and that's what we're going to have to see. went to your point, she goes off script, correct. she is no longer able to get away with. he's
2:47 pm
a felon. i know felons when she has to actually talk about policy. yeah. then with 10 of donald trump, we're smart, he would be moving the conversation in that direction, but unfortunately, that's what this week was. what, what, here's the point. i mean, you know, the 3 of us, probably, to a certain extent are kind of, you know, political analysts and you know, political strategist because we do this for a living. do you think uh, at this point of that it's his handlers aren't doing their job or is it that no, he doesn't listen. he doesn't listen. ok. all right, he, he doesn't listen and find a point before you go to government. bought a point is now that you're in the general election, he's going to have to expand his bank. of course salesforce. that is something that is going to be much, much, much harder for him to do. then it's going to be for her. he's better at primaries, that a is a general's,
2:48 pm
is the saying mostly among some of these political strategists that i've, that i've been talking to. uh go ahead. guardlick. yeah. well, one thing i think is i don't um, evaluate donald trump's success and failures based on the traditional metrics that we use for politics. right? because of the, of the reality. everybody out there already knows who donald trump is. the people who are going to vote for donald trump don't really expect anything different from you, right? they don't like the academic god. that's all right. the question becomes this to me . and that is the, the best always say this, the price of chicken wings, the price of gas inflation, anxiety over foreign policy. all of these things that aren't donald trump or cadillac harris, as a person, it's these people perceiving that their lives are better or worse. so they're unhappy i ever people say gambles. donald trump, i've heard black people say, i don't like it or this ease of races because the country that i'm from and as the
2:49 pm
whole country, but i'm vote for him. i'm sick of it. so what i mean? yeah, there are a lot of things to donald trump to get away with the people can't get away with because the by the administration has set the table for you. yeah. and people know who would what do you so they're not, they don't expect something. yeah. and there's another point to be made to along the lines where you're trying to take us here. and that is, i think commer harris is still in a honeymoon stage, and she's getting a lot of credit for superseding the numbers of the guy before her. who was, i mean, let's face it almost a literal course. so the fact that she's doing better than barton is not saying much nonetheless, she's doing a lot better than but so i guess we have to leave it at that. right. uh, let me, uh, go ahead. well, yes, you have to understand the moment that you're in and polling is no more than capturing a snapshot of a moment in time. and i just published a piece you're with her, but is she with you? spend the what?
2:50 pm
and then the, the point of the piece is, particularly as it relates to be asking american community, is there trying to rally the troops around the fact that she went to a historically black college? she's a member of an african american sorority. she's a woman of color, she's a woman. but when you get down to the policy discussions, where does she stand on genocide and gaza? will she continue to send your $30.00 waste your money in ukraine and know where does she stand on cop cities? that's where the rubber is going to meet the row. what. what matters also though is the media handling of this and the media coverage so far? i'll give you some examples of some of the things that i've seen. i mean, i don't know if you've noticed, but the coverage so far has been ridiculously trivial. instead of challenging the candidates, as you say, the media on the left like cnn and nbc, they spent days talking about why genie vance may be
2:51 pm
a racist because he drinks mountain do it on the right. by the way, they spend an equal amount of time covering or debating whether couple of harris is to work. because she uses paper straws. i mean, with all of us, they were on the board to behind work 3 and 3 different places in the world, right. the south china say ukraine, russia, the middle east, and this is what they're talking about on these cable channels. and then when you get down to it, especially the main stream they cover. uh, the democrats, like there's a deer leaders, but give me 2 examples. this is coverage from the day bite and dropped out what an act of self less devotion to your country. i love this man. i care about this man. it was painful every day to split up here and talk about him like he's just a, you know, some, some problem for the party. wait till we get to the convention, you're going to see people crying, standing screaming, cheering. he may not get a chance to talk for 10 minutes. we finally get a chance to put an arm around this guy. yeah, real objective there. garland real objective. well,
2:52 pm
i think what we're looking at is, this is an old law school joe. and you've probably heard if the evidence is against you, argue the law. if the laws against you argue the evidence, if the evidence and the law are against you, bang. and yet the yelling bang on the table right, argue so the fact of the matter is this right now, she doesn't, the thing the, the, the by the administration doesn't have a good economic reform policy. a record people are not happy with them. so they, the, the policy is not on their side. she does not have a strong political history either in her when she ran for a letter for election before or certainly her student as the ag in california. so they can't do policy. they can't do her accomplishments. so instead they must go to trivial matters that she's the woman, she's this trump said this, they can't touch really because she news is there. yeah. then a, but do not gentlemen underestimate the power forged when the media and the
2:53 pm
democratic, the democratic operatic come together. don't under estimate that because i think that's what we're going to be seeing over the next month. all right, let's go to the olympics. all right, let's. so let's shock the world again. you, you saw what you all saw, what they did with the opening ceremonies, right. well, now we have just learned within the past 24 hours, they're allowing to biological men to compete against women, boxers, boxers, right? outcry, global olympic chaves of sparked outrage by allowing these the guy's name. is it main colleen from algeria? the other one is one named lean to teen. sorry, letting you ting of taiwan both uh, thrown out of last year of the world championship. after being deemed to be men biological males to one of the women's backs and categories in paris. kelly, who also compete them in the 2020 talk you olympics was disqualified for the
2:54 pm
competition after failing gender. uh, eligibility tests. so in other words, they tested as blood down the tons of testosterone and wrong chromosomes, etc, etc. prior to is gold metal belt. here's, here's the video by the way, a lot make, he cannot find a kelly gate, says the fifty's. he only is the blue by the way, beating up on that the, the mailbox or that the female box, or who got to just destroyed by him. and she's, by the way, i don't know if you notice she's wearing a dress. he's not um and the guy stuff. i mean he throws unbelievable punches the, the, the lady was quoted yesterday after the fight saying i've never been hit so hard in my life. i didn't understand, i've been boxing for a long time. but what does that mean that wilner start this also takes us back to lia thomas, the, the female, the transgender swimmer from university of pennsylvania. i believe who was not
2:55 pm
allowed in the olympics because the swiss swimming federation, whatever that governing body is for swimmers denied lia thomas's challenge. boxing is probably the clearest examples why some lines must be drawn here in order to protect see that the transgender community is trying to put this in the context of their rights. this has nothing to do with their rights. it's a matter of protecting the opposition against their wrongs. yeah. and when you, when you put a biological male in a ring with a biological female. yep. there is. and it, because when i 1st turned on that fight, i didn't realize that that was a transgender box. right in i said this girl is get no parts wrote and then i go to
2:56 pm
find out, well, yeah, because he's fine, the guy you're out of time, but let me close with this. it's funny because right now the dams are apparently hitting the v o p or the republican or trump and vance, with the word weird in actuality. if they were fair, most people over the world, i'd say more than 90 percent would look at this story that you and i just talked about, which represents kind of the values of both sides. 4 and they would say, that's weird, they would say, that's weird. and that's, that's the story that in many ways isn't being told. but i think we'll be determinative of how this selection ends up. gentlemen, we are out of time, you know, i love talking to you. i could go on for many, many more hours. uh, but uh, we do have to go. thank you both for taking time to talk to us a thank you, right? that's our show. remember, always look outside your own box truths. as we'd like to say around here, 11 boxes, i'm rick sanchez. we'll see you next time.
2:57 pm
the of the every spring and summer, the melting optics move reveals a band of machinery, millions of rusty barrels, and the detritus left by human expansion into this most inaccessible of territories . yes, i used to move shore take off my both of us for some new lewis at the post to be done as an issue. calling to ask for a clean optic travel to heis island home to the biggest opponent station on the front of joseph land occupied the go. really asked me for it. i was my was or more you have to do should. so it means it's me when you feel when we see lots of money and i'm familiar with the summer,
2:58 pm
stay on the old stuff. what's the most you feel like a mess almost a little know. see mean membership when you to i've got to what i don't see. i don't know boys the middle of please to join me at that of the optic pioneers main objective was to explore and comcast these harsh lands. they had no time to think about waste management now and, and they could see could remain for centuries. that's my of my choice. the. so it's pretty at the question system is this multiple and you called at the dealership issue. the what is part of the is it that the employee would post that isn't the defense you of us and that in the word part
2:59 pm
is it something deeper, more complex might be present to that stuff without collision? is that stuff out of of the what is this? think of the continental box. oh send we in the address with the rest of the world . we're going to relate to the wind in terms of don't nations or in terms of tray after it's a month to define what she wants political after months define us. soft contractors also come define ourselves critically. the cause of the guys no choice but to move forward. and forward the,
