7:30 am
wires, it's full. kinetic force in ukraine. right now. i wasn't going to disconnect it from big politics back down. but it was pretty clear on the ground who started the conflicts down to where the shells and the strikes were coming from the city of king valley, where i was, it was totally cut off from supply lives. people didn't have much to if people didn't have any ability to leave the cd. um, you know, it was a, a major gamble by success. really just saw that the, okay. it's a little regional for that. he can get away with whatever you political science. he had at the time, so in the ice of all settings on what are your thoughts on these accusations from the, the current georgia in 5 minutes, all the fat. it takes place in a very interesting jo, political context that's relevant both for georgia out of where you're praying. georgia is facing major problem enter elections. and this ruling party that they have is in favor of continuing developing ties for the ego. but they also want to
7:31 am
trade with russia. they want to have a balance of policy with that own interest in mind. and they specifically said that we don't want to be used like your brain was used in the class between the 2 major powers. we want to trade with russia in russia is their 2nd largest trading partner . while, while the united states is only, i think, the 4th and the 5th. but they also continue with that in your integration. um, that is uh, not acceptable to the west. it was doesn't want them to be, you know, sort of self focused, the self winded, minding that own entrance. they want them to follow that very precise line. and that's why the pressure on george and leadership is extreme right now. the older european leaders, if you're chug the latest news, they accuse them of backsliding on democracy on becoming increasingly to tally terry, i know for, you know, the being the worst possible political nightmare for georgia, simply because the judge in leadership looked around and said, okay,
7:32 am
we're in this neighborhood, we need to provide for our people, we need, you know, functional traits. we need with relations with all neighbors. and we don't want to be a direct, battering ram or a battlefield for the united states to, you know, sort out. it's a issues with the russian. one of the leaders of the routing policy of georgia has said that they also ortiz, they, they don't want the big countries to use the, like the, was that, i mean, any national space, 1st and foremost, to pursue the interest of their own people. sure, there are always no dealings in geo politics. but the 1st rule, the 1st obligation, alfa, any political party is to its own people rather than you know, people in washington the 1st through a very uh you know, a very strange agenda that have, in my opinion, has nothing to do with the interest of the american people, and in fact we have a couple of leaders in georgia sad that is not the political leaders in washington course, spreading all those missed information and lies about georgia increasingly becoming
7:33 am
a author. it's aaron, the only guards to the american corporate oligarchy, major in regards to the dash, things that you know are informed by that own concerns rather than the countries politics. but thanks very much for your company this hour. we'll be back with another look at what's happening across the world and just send us 13 minutes wouldn't do. stay with us. say we're not as rick sanchez is up next with direct impact and it's always a good bunch the the hey, rick sanchez here. this is direct impact on this is what we're going to be talking about. slides division one is the depth
7:34 am
yep. plaza applause breaks out at the united nations as israel is told to end its occupation of gaza. i'm rick sanchez, lot going on with this. let's do this thing the the right a lot to talk about on this day. let's begin with this. a really complex mess that is the middle east and we do is with the steady sounds of a minute more in the background. i mean, if, if you, if you listen carefully you can almost hear the drum be right now. if you will, if in the background, given israel's latest high tech, sabotaged attack on 11 on 1st, the un general assembly comes out and they meet and they're meeting in new york this week. as you probably know, they've just passed a resolution that essentially tells us real that it needs to find
7:35 am
a way to stop the. 4 occupation of the palestinian communities. the resolution is most e as in slice of 51 slides revision. one is a job that they're a little behind the times here cuz i mean, forget 1000. it's what israel's doing right now and loving on. not a gaza. that is really making headlines, right? thousands of people in 11 on by the way, in syria as well, but to a lesser extent, had been injured, killed, many of them disfigured for life when their digital devices suddenly blew up in this highly sophisticated and coordinated attack, perpetrated, i think it's safe to say by israel, the wall street journal is reporting that is real sabotage and re routed the supply chain of these pagers that were ordered by the militant group. uh, mazda. i mean, pardon, has bola. but how did they do it?
7:36 am
how, how are you able to manage the phone? not a page, but how would i be able to take this thing and somehow stick a pull explosives in there to turn, what is a pager or a cell phone or any other device into a little mini bomb? how do you do that? to watch this was this fascinating video put together by a i tele, a spike agency is believed to have intercepted the shipment and tempered with the pagers discreetly altered the internal components. replacing one of the 2 identical batteries with the hidden explosive device. this modification was done so suddenly that it went unnoticed. imagine you're looking at 2 identical batteries inside the pager. all of this is speculative. if it were part of a spite agency, we might consider disguising one of the 2 identical batteries for different purpose . one battery would provide the necessary power for the device while the other could potentially serve as an exclusive, cleverly concealed within the page or to expand on this theory and outline, a battery weighs approximately 23 grams. interesting,
7:37 am
lee reports in the news had mentioned that an explosive weighing about 20 grams was designated 20 grams of c 4, which is all i guess it takes to make a little mini explosion. i mean, i guess significant enough to hurt people or below their hands off. so what's the reaction to all of this? well, 1st let's call it what it is. it is an act of terror. obviously, people 11 on a, terrorized by this on the part of israel, which has killed many people, mostly civilians. quote, suspected of being a part of his bo and also killed or maimed of other people who were near them children in some cases, anybody who was, i'm lucky enough to have bought one from them, or borrowed one of these pagers or happened to be near a page or when it went off so that that's significant, right? first, did israel do it? let me put it this way when cnn, which is all but state tv for israel is reporting that israel did it. oh, i'd say you pretty much assume that is where israel was involved when 3 of that is
7:38 am
saying they did it. they probably didn't even the un is condemning the attack on civilians as the jo. surprisingly enough, most countries in the global south community who don't feel compelled to wait for instructions or the reaction from washington. so you ask yourself, what is the reaction from washington rick? well, watch what happens here. when the white house national security spokesperson, kirby is asked directly about israel's involvement is if, if a state actor was involved in any way and what took place in level, is that acceptable look, that's a great hypothetical driver that i'm simply not not going to engage. so it's not that that's not the case, there was nothing more to add on these incidents. i, i,
7:39 am
i understand the question about the engage and have a set of goals or speculate about what did or didn't happen. state actor, what state actor is room, what is real page or what page or explosions were to happen? wow. like, i don't know what what, what do you think of that, mr. kirby's? not so elegant response. oh john kirby always trying to find an exit ramp for himself or obviously for good reason. i mean he works for the bite and administration at present. um, so i think he's trying to obviously put distance between washington dc and israel. and this moment for obvious reasons because, you know, there's sort of this big collection that's happening here in less than 50 days here in the us. so he kind of doesn't want to entangle vice president cala harris because she's still the sitting vice president when you actually have one of the
7:40 am
chief commanders of the is really military. you'll have a lot taken ownership. yeah. for this, he's saying he has said publicly that, that is really military is now moving to the next phase. yeah, they're bragging about right? welfare who's branding about it. so for me to kind of back pedal and just say, oh, that's a hypothetical. i can't answer that. i mean, it's just kind of a, a big, big chicken or he's being a big was and doesn't want to have to face questions about whether or not washington was aware of what you're saying to say. washington was aware just or you may just to just be honest, i mean just to sit there and say like you like your surprise. oh my god, really, there was a start. all really there was some papers stoddard and really we didn't know. tell me more. i mean, it just, it defies cr jewelry which then also hurts your credibility and,
7:41 am
and that's what i hate to see is a citizen of this country. i don't like it when people look at us and laugh and that's response. yeah. laughable. yeah. through half of the link, at least play the part. yeah. what you're saying that we've played the part on it anyway, look at this just right. by the way, i'm going to tell you something else. i remember when the, the hall explosion took place in moscow. it took about 15 seconds for this guy to one, to get in front of a camera and a microphone to immediately announce that ukraine had nothing to do with it. do you remember that? yeah. yeah. what is that or the cross? the crock is new. the call the yeah, that's the one i was talking about exactly what to be like. right. so he's like, he's like all friends and in kia i've had nothing, no way. right? yeah. right, right. exactly. because because he can't find a real way out because he knows that the whole world knows that is real. it's not
7:42 am
the big, clear any of their actions with washington. they actually dictate to washington and let washington know what they're going to do. and washington, the just never bothers, but even the want to answer it. but even if we weren't involved, he's not even coughing to that. he's saying what explosion, what are you talking about? i mean, oh, really? like, like you haven't heard of it and doesn't think israel could have been involved with the whole world's already gone beyond that. see, that's where again, credibility, transparency, 2 of the most important things in life journalist should have it. countries should have it, governments should deploy it. all right, let's go somewhere else ever since the debate. we've been waiting for a poll that gives a read on the election. and while there have been a lot of snap goals and questionable polls that i've told you, i don't believe in those things. i think most of those are crap. especially the snap pulse. there haven't really. we've been waiting for one poll that kind of gives us an indication of how the debate went and whether americans really were
7:43 am
moved one way or another by the debate. i think this one is noteworthy and it's a very credible paul. let me show you this, this is the de moines register. pull. why is this important? all right, this is one of the most respected poles. and because it's iowa, it really represent, it's a pretty good cross section of the country. you know, we're not talking about brooklyn here, or savannah, georgia or something like that. this is middle america a place where by the way, it's mostly white anglo saxons. and most of them vote for trump, most of them like drop and they have voted for drop every single time. about an hour. i was also a state where trump did when big against buying. mm hm. and back in june, he was winning iowa by 18 points. so he's winning know about 18 points. this new pool comes out. now the morn register quality pool, which by the way, that doesn't mean it's right, it's still could be wrong. and now, according to the des moines register,
7:44 am
he's wanting to iowa by 4 points. that means he's within the margin of error, which means it's a statistical time. that's not a good sign for donald trump, obviously. now we're not talking about always donald trump going to lose. i always probably going to win iowa. that's a very narrow margin. and it's noteworthy to kind of trends that are worth looking at my know yeah, i've got one word about why and how calmer harris has narrowed that gap between her and trump and his lead. he's indeed had a humongous lead when biting was still in the race back in june. right. so the answer is women. and if you look even closer, it's younger women that are actually now excited about calm la harris, simply for the fact that she's a woman and a woman of color at that harris leads with women in iowa, specifically, according to the des moines register. harris leads 53 to trumps. 36 percent is our
7:45 am
ability with women. but on the flip side, conversely, trump is leading with men 59 percent to 32 percent over harris. so it's like a battle of the sexes. yeah. in there in iowa, and as you said, it is a bell whether state what we'll do is add in the r f k component though. rick, here's the danger is our of k was, was grabbing about 6 percent of the poles there at the time, and he only recently dropped out, but it was too late to take his name off of the ballots. so theoretically he could still get a few percentage votes because people, for whatever reason. yeah, yeah, yeah. they don't like harris. they don't like whatever. they'll vote for for r f k, just because that could actually check shift the election there. i don't want to take too much time for my next guest who's coming up, but i do want to ask you what, then you follow this? what the, what cam truck do?
7:46 am
what does he have to do to, to, to throw a wrench in this trend that seems to be favor and couple errors. what, what are you hearing? what do you think or more broadly, not specific to iowa. i have taken peaks now and again deep into the trump mega world. and what i'm hearing is that they want to see a shakeup of the trump vance ticket. oh that a lot of the people that are deep maga actually want judy vance off the ticket because they see him as to favorable to the establishment. and as a sort of incentive to have trump die in office or get off or whatever, whatever it is, they believe they say that with vance being one heartbeat away from the actual presidency that that's actually incentive to get trump booted out one way or another. and in order to secure trumps life, they say that trump needs to put somebody in like congressman massey. yeah. thomas
7:47 am
bar, move our f k into the wall over to seed on the ticket and that could be the october surprise. wow. well, that's a fine kettle of pickles. uh, basically, maybe we'll pick that up with our next guest who's coming up next middle i have a fantastic weekend. okay. so don't go away because that's what we're going to do. let's keep talking. i'm us presidential politics. it's a fascinating subject, and by the way, everyone's talking about it right now. lots to chew on. as i say, he is the chair of the for the democratic league. his name is a lot of your enough stuff. and he is joining us right here after the break. don't go away. the renewal funds of who's gone for a consent, free cities, dislikes any of the seas, a couple of bucks for the son. of course, in the region, there's seats in tradition to basic health of width is a fast to get people to know nationwide to their customs with the and hospitality.
7:48 am
so they told me that the, the to what is part of the, the employee would post to is it the defense you of us in that, in the word? or is it something deeper, more complex, might be present good. let's stop without cases. let's go products. as the all right. joining me now is ilario are messed over. he is a ph. d. a publisher and the human rights advocate certainly knows politics. and that has been established in florida. politics for quite some time. um,
7:49 am
but you know what i was doing before i went on the air and a little bit this morning when i woke up, i started going through some of the polls. let me share with you what nate silver is saying, right. and i know a lot of people think, mig silver is a grow other people think he's a moron. but either way, the guy's very prominent. a lot of people read is his forecast. it's called the 538 forecast if you want to go at home and check on that on yourself. he has here is winning all 7 swing states right now. he had trump winning before, but now he's switched he's got he's got our winning, arizona, georgia, michigan, nevada, north carolina, pennsylvania in wisconsin, not by a ton, but cheese i had it all 7. there's also a brand new quitting. i pulled the just came out. let me, let me bring your attention to this one, the quinn echo, which again is a, a decent poll. they tend to interview democrats more than republicans, but still it's a decent poll. right? um they have her winning michigan 50 to 45. they have her winning pennsylvania of 51 to 45 and they have her winning, wisconsin by just a smidge. really. it's
7:50 am
a time $48.00 to $47.00. so you know, we were waiting for legitimate. 9 to, to chew on post debate and we're starting to see the very 1st numbers that we can at least get a glimpse of what's going on. a lot of what, what is your take on some of these numbers that we've been talking about. this is, do you see as there seems to be a trend toward harris, a legitimate trend toward here as well. thank you for inviting the that we need to keep in mind that all depend on highly sickle voters. and many times people do not always are answer honestly when asking people, if we were to believe the poles in 2016 linton would have been reprisals didn't. and yet the polls demonstrated how all they can be. we know that calls can be rigged and the democracy in a free society,
7:51 am
the only pulled accounts, obviously, the election day. let me tell you why i love that. let me love. i'm going to tell you why i think this situation with comma le harris. and again, this, this is not good news for mr. trump, but i got to call them is i see i'm not here to support either canada, the difference between the hillary clinton and donald trump is the following. when hillary clinton was running against donald trump, we had what you call a double negative. right. double. hey, the american people hated hillary clinton and the american people hated donald trump. so they had to choose between one of the candidates they did not like when the race was between bite and then trump. they had to choose between 2 people. they hated. they didn't like pride, they didn't like trump. for the 1st time we're seeing and pamela harris, and this is unique to her, even though she seems i don't want to use the word fake because it's not a nice word, but also i'll use that. she looks fake and all that other stuff,
7:52 am
but she's been performing very well. her popularity, unlike that of biden's, and i'm like that of hillary clinton's. her favorite abilities are very high for a presidential candidate these days. and i think that could be a differentiator when comparing or to hillary clinton. what do you say about that? that you have a very um, i wouldn't say faith, but she does come across as in here. i apologize. i was, i didn't, i didn't mean to you. i didn't mean to use such a negative word, but go on. no, but, but seriously, all these things, we cannot, we cannot underestimate the power propaganda. and the propaganda machine is in the hands of the democratic party. yeah, is there a by yeah, yeah, very power of the counterfeit news network, cnn. and uh, and all the other fig stream media outlets that bombarded the american public
7:53 am
with heavy propaganda in favor of harris and people vote to feel. and they're trying to make the public feel comfortable with the errors as opposed to try points. been very bitter in here. yeah. so he's helping me out, but he's put that thing through your point. you just made a very good point. he's better and he's helping them show her up by uh, some of the comments he's made that dower expression on his face when he goes on camera. some of the things he has said, some of the people he's chosen to put around them in you or his strategist. what would you tell him? and i will tell him that he has to number one, make people feel affordable with him because in spite of jumping to assassination attempts, he is a stat submit, morally, morally speaking. he's assassinated 1000000 times
7:54 am
a day in america. yeah. they just, they just haven't killed physically, but they'd kill his reputation. they'd kill his good name. yeah, they kill him, ej and voters rely on those ephemeral things when making a decision. so on that that he's got to lay off the criticism. it cannot make insult . as opposition, a campaign strategy? yeah, i mean, that was very clear contrast between him and himself and his opponent. and he's had plenty of, you know, he should on immigration, he wins on immigration, but instead of moving into immigration and talking about the process, it tends to personalize it. and i don't think americans like that. i don't think americans are a little, you know, they don't and not only that, but i think even most ardent supporters will tell you that they believe that he's his own worst enemy. yeah. yeah, yeah. i think there's a, i think there's
7:55 am
a lot of truth to that. let me ask you about manila made an interesting point. i think you are listening at the end of our conversation, said that she senses that there are people inside the, you know, true blue trap. trump, but camp. who would like to see him get rid of j. the vance because that marriage has not been a good one thus far. what 1st of all, what do you think of the trump vance relationship and and, and what do you think of the possibility that he could have an october surprise there? i think it was arranged in the back halls. it was arranged in public, and it was arranged for obvious reasons of political countries, not what's best for the country, or even what's best the republican party. however, that's changing the horses in the middle of the race breaks a i i'm very leary. i'm very um, hesitant that to think that that could be
7:56 am
a good strategy and it shows witness in decision and on the 4th site. um, however, mind seeing somebody like thomas the masks in there, but i don't think he would ever get approval. i remember i read the trump's lawyers book and he said that what they did when they got them elected was brilliant because he owned the conversation. he always knew he would wake up in the morning and say, i'm going to say this today because i'm going to distract them. i'm going to get them talking about this. i mean, will be some crazy thing. you didn't even attempt to do, but he knew that he didn't get the media. he wouldn't be on the front page of every newspaper and the top story and every cable channel. he's not able to do that as well as he used to. in fact, she has done it better. the whole nation is talk about people leading tabs, which makes him not look good rather than him changing the conversation as he lost that gift. is it just wow, how would you, what's your reaction to that?
7:57 am
i my reaction is that he's lost all sense of what's practical and what's going to work. talking about people leading cats blaming spic and nationalities or ethnic groups for that. does scituate is a very dumb thing to do. yeah. because even though it will good in some circles, generally speaking, people realize that if he can do it to that group, he can do a group next. yeah, do you final question and i think maybe this the most important if your him or if you were advising him, would you say you needed the bader again, make it happen? or would you say no don't debate or that he needs to be in or again, the problem is terrible debater and most likely he will lose the 2nd the he dropped the ball. major question. just let you guys, are you great. he asked them 3 times. do you want your grade when,
7:58 am
instead of answering correctly and saying yes, i want you crate them, but the people are more. armin, ukraine are army. you for it to lose? no one who wants you grade to when can so the slaughter of ukrainians. and i think, i think i really know you're right and in many ways is that's where vance i think is better as saying this is a money game. there are people becoming rich off of this situation? i know what a laundry operation. it's a money. alondra executive, which is what he has said in the past, which is what he has. what with trump has not been able to put in the right amount of words at this point. and maybe you're right. maybe he's lost a little bit of stuff. he's 79 years old, but there's still a long way to go. it's, it's, it's almost a testicle tie. it's still a statistical bye. so anything going to happen? we're just looking at the trends and we've had an opportunity to do that with you.
7:59 am
a lot of you and thank you for coming on and sharing your perspective. my pleasure . be appreciated. all right, that's our show. remember to always look outside your own box truce. they don't live in boxes. i'm or should just be looking for you next to the take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. it is designed to simplify all confused who really wants a better wills and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented to this, but can you see through there illusion going underground?
8:00 am
can the is reading strikes, walk $711.00 known as the only the says it's all get to the 100 has the law positions on thursday, and also for us on the report. some re, re, mid those attacks. wow. so yeah, he's really is bombing lebanon, and we're going to probably go somewhere safe. the grocer crossed all the lines, all the boundaries, all the norms. when they launched this operation, it's a violent terrorist attack. it's a genocide, it's a massacre then either it has blocking demons. as well for the tyra tax which kills dozens and wounded files. this is an electronic device is exploded across lab.
