sufficient to stop blowing, lynch me saw strikes, the royal navy lacking ships to patrol the north atlantic on the r asked me, did twice the number of fight to jacks to even be able to go into any conflict with a fighting chance or yeah, i mean, the state of the armed forces in the u. k. is absolutely dreadful. i mean, the last moment of glory we had was the fault cleans, walk away. you know, i think that was a necessary conflict to stop the fulton's from being taken by another country because the people that wanted to remain british. but that was, and 32 years and started 42 years ago now. and in that time, the number of people in the army is reduced by hall. the number of you know, capable boats that we've got is going down by about 2 thirds. i think the air force is really not up to scratch as well, that there's no ad defense systems that we have against hypersonic weapons which

a new and which russia has very good to stop call. so the con, the military in the u. k. may be able to defend the islands of britain for a time, but it's not going to be able to send the foreign expedition referrals out to the board as opposed and or the board is mr. wayne here to do much of tool. so really, i think it, you, people who is sensible in the, on forces in nature, countries realize that we don't want to get into a war with russia and we shouldn't be. i mean we, we should be new partners who we had a good partnership in the 2, thousands, the decades of the 2, thousands and russian went to the g 7 and became the gates we. we bought a oil and gas from russia for many, many years, which is mutually beneficial. i mean, it's beyond me why people are talking a lot more now. especially as the on forces,

especially is this country you're not really up to scratch. i think germany is got more west homes, you know, more western re, more in so even more, more haughty hardware. and they would be able to just same a slight thing for a long time. no space lee at great cost to the population there. so it's really either going to be very, very hard for the, the nature of countries in europe to sustain any time develop conflict for a long time. well, mr. curse, and we're going to have to leave it that. thank you very much for your time here. and also the international david coach in the u. k. heritage political party. the well, thanks very much for joining us as our help with all of the international. we'll have more and using these view at the top of the next hour at the hope you can join us again. 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. 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 right a lot to talk about on this day. let's begin with this. a really complex mask that is the middle east and we do this with the study sounds of immune and more in the background. i mean, if, if you, if you listen carefully, you can almost to hear the drum beat 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 realize it needs to find a way to stop the occupation of the palestinian communities. 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, what, how did they do it? how, how are you able to make this is a phone, not a pager, 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 cellphone or any other device into a little mini bomb, how do you do that to watch this? what's this fascinating video put together by a i tele, spite agency is believed to have intercepted the shipment and tempered with the pagers. big discreetly altered the internal components replacing one of the 2 identical batteries with a hidden explosive device is 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 spike 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, an alkaline a battery weighs approximately 23 grams. interesting, lee reports in the news. i 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 active tear, 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 c a. that is saying they did it. they probably didn't. even the u. n. is condemning the attack on the civilians as, as the jo, surprisingly enough, in most countries in the global south community who don't feel compelled to wait for instructions. where 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 spokes person, kirby is asked directly about israel's involvement is if a state actor was involved in any way in one place, is that acceptable?

that's a great hypothetical trevor that i'm simply not, not going to engage. so it's not that that's not the case that there was nothing more to add on these incidents. i, i, i understand the question about gonna engage my pathetic 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, what do you think of that, mr. kirby's? not so elegant response that oh john kirby always trying to find an exit ramp for himself or obviously for good reason. i mean he works for the buy in administration at present. um, so i think he's trying to obviously put distance between washington dc and is real 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 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. can say, washington was aware, just don't worry. 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. oh really? there was some pictures of the toner didn't really we didn't know. tell me more. i mean it just, it defies could jewelry which then also hurts your credibility 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 our friends in, in key. i've had nothing, no way. right? yeah, no, right, right, right, exactly. because because he can't find a real way out because he knows the whole world knows that is real. it's not that 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, which is never bothers, but even is that what it is i want, what do you have want to answer. but even if we weren't involved, he's not even copying 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 quite a bit and when 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 snapples 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 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. paul, 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 more in register quality pool, which by the way, that doesn't mean it's right, it's still can be wrong. and now, according to des moines, register, he's wanting 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 gotta 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. uh no yeah, i've got one word about why and how calmer harris has narrowed that gap between her and trump and his lead here indeed had a humongous lead when biden 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. i know 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 ability with women. but on the flip side, conversely, trump is leading with min 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, what? oh, is ad 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? what does he have to do to, to, to, to 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 ged bounce 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 heart beat 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 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 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 to us presidential politics. it's a fascinating subject, and by the way, everyone's talking about it right now. lots to, to on, as i say, he is the chair of the, for the democratic league. his name is a lot of you on that stuff. and he is joining us right here. after the break, don't go away. the

the, the, [000:00:00;00] the,

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, 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 is 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 it on yourself. he has here is winning all 7 swing states right now. he had trump winning before, but now he 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 and 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 $51.00 to $45.00, and they have her winning, which comes and by just a smidge, really, it's a tie. $48.00 to $47.00. so you know, we were waiting for legitimate data 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 is do you see as there seems to be a trend toward harris, a legitimate trend toward here as well. thank you for inviting me like we need to keep in mind that all depend on highly fickle voters. and many times people do not always are answer honestly when asking people,

if we were to believe the polls in 2016 linton would have been represented. and yet, paul's demonstrated how all they can be. we know that calls can be rig and the democracy in a free society. the only pulled accounts, obviously, 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 harris and again this, this is not good news for mr. trump, but i got to call them as i say, 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 binding and trump. they had to choose between 2 people. they hated it like,

but they didn't like trump. for the 1st time we're seeing and common law 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. and also i'll use that. she looks fake and all that other stuff. but she's been performing very well, her popularity, unlike that of buttons, and unlike 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 her to hillary clinton. what do you say about that? you have a very like, um, i wouldn't say faith, but she does come across those in here. i apologize. i was, i didn't mean to you. i didn't mean to use such a negative word, but go on. no. 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 calendar, fake news network, cnn. and uh, and all the other sake, streaming media outlets that from bar to the american public with heavy is a 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 the but he's with that seem to your point, you just made a very good point. he's bitter and he's helping. 3 a show her up by 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. if you are his strategist,

what would you tell him that i would tell him that he has to. number one, make people feel for the ball with him because in spite of just being too assassination attempts, he is a stat submit, morally, morally speaking, is assassinated 1000000 times 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 from ephemeral things when making a decision. so that, that he's got to lay off the criticism. it cannot make insult as office fish in a campaign strategy. yeah, i mean that was a very clear contrast between him and himself and his opponent and he had plenty of, you know, he should own immigration. he wins on immigration, but instead of moving into immigration and talking about the process,

he tends to personalize it. and i don't think americans like that. i don't think americans are hate say google. 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 a lot of truth to that. let me ask you about manila made an interesting point. i think you were listening at the end of our conversation. she said that she senses that there are people inside be, you know, through blue trap. trump camp who would like to see him get rid of j, the vance because that marriage has not been a good one. uh thus far, what 1st of all, what do you think of the truck 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 convict, 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 it. i, i am very leery and very, um, as it to that, to think that that could be a good strategy and it shows wait list, indecision and duck of um, ford 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 they 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? 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. the situate is a very dumb thing to do. yeah. because even though it'll be good in some circles, generally speaking, people realize that if he could 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 on major question. just let you guys, are you great. he asked them 3 times, do you want your grade to win? instead of answering correctly and saying, yes, i want you crate them, but the people more army, ukraine are army you for it to lose. no one who wants you crate to win concert. 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 at saying this is a money game. there are people becoming rich off of this situation? i don't a laundry operation. it's a money alondra existing, 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 still has the physical bye. so anything going to happen? we're just looking at the trends and we've had an opportunity to do that with you. a lot of you know, and thank you for coming on and sharing your perspective. my pleasure, we appreciate it. all right, that's our show. remember to always look outside your own box truce, they don't live in boxes. i'm gonna just be looking for you next to the line. scott bennett, i'm a former united states army psychological warfare officer is served in the state department counterterrorism office under investor del daily
