And hes thinking a different tune. One that politically speaking is even less risk big. Im going to tell you all about this and its important number x, and just, im gonna play it for you. Now lets, lets do it. Thats the all right, so before we get to that, as we begin this show, let me catch you up on the assassination attempt. Bobs lock you prime minister, robert fitz, so after being shot repeatedly yesterday, as you saw, as we were bringing you the story when we 1st uh, went on the air. Uh, he has come out of surgery, were happy to report a is now expected to survive as we left the show yesterday, we didnt know whether he was going to make it nobody did. While apparently he survived the surgery. Survive the shooting. However, there are a lot of questions that are being now asked about the Country Security and the countrys stability. Theres also this today, and this is another developing story that were following. As we begin this newscast, russian president pollutant is once again meeting with his chinese counterpart present and g. And in this case, you know, you know, the expression of picture is worth a 1000 words. Well then weve got 2000 words. Look at this, look at this, look at the difference between uh she, with that cold fish hand cake offered to him a crown in france. And now the real genuine embrace thats offered to put and its like 2 completely different situations. And it says so much that this relationship seems to be blossoming between mr. Putting in, mr. Said, wow. When he was asked to go to france, it was almost like, uh, the french president had all this revelry and he has bands ready to go. And then he put his arm around them and then he, he stroked them on the back a couple of times and she has this expression like a. Yeah, wow whatever. But very different with, with put and then i just think that says something. Im not trying to be a body language expert here, but let me bring manila and what did you see as you looked at these pictures . And obviously as you look some of the video thats been coming in from beijing. Yeah, rick, i cant help but laugh. I mean, you could it contrast to no images any more . I mean, we discussed that that handshake with my crone when it happened and, and i kind of compared it to when a woman is on a, on a date with a ma chrome date. It seems like it was a date that the parents forced them to go on and present and she didnt want to be there and was like, all right, im just doing this to satisfy my parents because they want me to be here with me. These 2 are like they, they just seemed happy to be together. I mean, it was the body language is so evident. You dont need to be an expert wreck, you can see, or, i mean, you literally have to be blind and not be able to see that these to see eye to eye and have mutual respect. And theres a geo political implication and all of this. And were going to be speaking with the k j. Now coming up later in this newscast, about that i want to ship now to Something Else. Something will happen. Im gonna take you back to 18. 641864. You remember what was going on . The u. S. Was in the middle of a civil war. Was incredibly horrible time. Things look really bleak for the country. Thousands of soldiers were diag daily and battles. Right. And to them, especially 5000. 00 gettysburg, the country was ripping itself apart. Most people were, of course, critical of washington critical of the president at the time. But there was an election coming up. So what do you do . I mean, civil war, thousands dead bodies on the streets. The president at the time could have easily said, forget the election. We cant have an election. Lets just call marshal law. Its not a good time for it. Let me just declare the martial law thing. Postpone or cancel the election. But thats not what happens. If you know your history, this countries never missed an election. Thats not what happened. The president decided to go ahead and have the election, and he won barely by just a little bit. Right. That president was Abraham Lincoln. The guy hed be to, if you remember, was general mcclendon Abraham Lincoln. Lets compare that to whats going on right now. And ukraine. A country im told that as an american, i have to defend if i believe in standing up for democracy. Right. It too is involved right now in a war, much like we were. It too is facing that election in a matter of days. And what are we finding out or finding out creating president bottom or soleski is no Abraham Lincoln. And neither of the people in washington and we have chosen to back him as an on elected leader. Say that again on, on elected leaders. Zalinski is turman officer supposed to and may 20th. It was not going to and which means the people of ukraine will not get to decide who is gonna lead them. And those who are, who we are told are defending democracy. We are then being lied to. Right . Thats not if hes not going to be elected and that they dont have free elections, its not a democracy. Or am i crazy . Now when you think that our. 1 government would go there right about now and say, hey, dude, sorry, mean, go to key of tell zalinski, do you have to hold an election . We cant back you. If you in keep sending you money, if you dont have an election. I mean, thats your, thats what you think we would to right. Well guess what . Mr. Guitar player, secretary of state anthony, blinking did slide a keys. He didnt meet with zelinski. And besides playing guitars, what did he tell them . He told them essentially its okay. Its okay if its not a democracy, as long as you promised at some point in the future that you will become a democracy and were going to help you do adhere to looking for yourself. Today, im here in keith, to speak about ukraine strategic success. And to set out how, with our support, ukrainian people can and will achieve their vision for the future. A free press for a secure democracy, fully integrated into the outline of community, fully in control of its own destiny. To hear that, to hear that i feel sure of a free democracy. I feel sure of that means not. Now in the future youll have a freedom. Uh we spent a 175000000. 00 on a country that isnt a democracy. Them. In other words, theyre not of the mark receiving that thats what hes saying, but they will be in the Us State Department will decide how they get there. By the way, shouldnt ukrainian people be asking themselves at this point . Why is this dude coming from washington to my country . The, tell me how the future of my government will be decided. Think about that. Just think for a minute about that. I think its played on cnn a 1000000 times. I bet theyve never asked the question. I mean, can you say meddling, you know, that term meddling, that we hear so much . Isnt that meddling . By the way, i want to make sure im not saying something isnt, isnt true here. So i went back and i checked. I went to the chatham house, its a good place to check political information to check the actual Legal Definition of a democracy. And i put in democracy ukraine. Heres what i found. This is a direct quote. Let, let me put it up for you. Victor. Put that up so, so people can see it. Its a direct quote i found in the chat about ukraine. It writes does not, it does not currently meet the criteria for electoral democracy or liberal democracy as these terms are used in Political Science because it is under martial law and cannot hold elections. So all you gotta do is call a martial law and then you can say, sorry, were not going to have an election. And then according to the chatham, al, sorry, youre not a fair amount of democracy, so dont call yourself a democracy. So there you go. And how long can they remain a not democracy, i guess is long and until the elected lead on elected leader, i should say, decides to fit or to lift the martial law and hold elections. As Abraham Lincoln would say, isnt that a fine kettle of fish . Manila, thats what lincoln would say. What do you say . Well, rick, we dont have to go as far back as lincoln. We can go back to just 1944. The us was in the throes, the middle of world war 2, and we still held election f d r was reelected, right . During the middle of world war 2. If you truly are a democracy and if you have a constitution, 1st of all, ukraine has the constitution, but it gets altered all the time. So i dont know that its necessarily a real constitution, but this is, shouldnt be an outrage. I think to the ukrainian people, i mean, i think they a lot of, from what i understand, a lot of people are actually tired of their rhetoric coming from kia these days. And they would love to have an election, but instead they have be the keeper of the key of government, which is anthony blinking thats in town. And giving this not so impromptu rock concert by you know, the secretary of state. This is not in problem 2 by the way, because this is evidenced by these span cameras being invited to his. Yeah. Show yeah. Was completely tuned out, which is tasteful. He was the thousands of ukrainians are dying. It was just that a bar decided to play some music while this war was going right. It just, its about the cameras were there, right. Its bad form. Its bad optics. I mean cameras are no cameras. By the way, speaking of that guy blinking, blinking his predecessors back in the news. Hillary clinton is out there. Shes presenting herself now as an expert on the middle east while defending israel and describing something most of middle east experts on both sides say its simply not true. But here she is with respect to the middle east and they dont know that um under the uh uh they bringing together the israel leaves and the palestinians. Um by my husband the then its really a prime minister, a hood brock. The then head of the palestinian liberation organization. Then the palace standing authority, Yasser Arafat as an offer was made uh to the palestinians for a state on you know, 96 percent of the existing territory occupied by the palestinians with 4 percent of israel to be given to reach a 100 percent of the amount of territory that was hoped for and this offer was made and if the Yasser Arafat had accepted it, there would have been a palestinian state now for about 24 years. So one of the great tragedies of history, i am amazing my husbands amazing. And if those damn palestinians are just listen to this, they would be the happiest people in the world right now. Or most experts say, shes full of crap. And by the way, uh, also when she calls herself a middle is middle east experts. A lot of people with. Busy differ vanilla. Yeah, this lady has got a lot of gall to speak about this stuff. The lady that destroyed libya and condemned it to this current, open air slave market. She so glib in her view of young people. But it couldnt be because young people categorically twice rejected her the 1st time in the primaries against obama. And then she failed to garner Youth Support against Bernie Sanders and 80 something year old man. And you know young people yeah. Art having what shes selling the car, shes going to be mean and cruel to young people. She hates young people. Yeah, no, its funny that this good. Im glad you brought that out cuz i dont think i made that clear enough that the reason what shes talking about when she made that comment is shes essentially saying theyre dumb. They dont get it. They dont understand whats going on. And she is an older wiser, better send an elder, shes going to tell them the truth. What, in fact, thats not the truth, that the palestinians at that point decided they didnt want to take the bill. They did take the deal, it was being negotiated when things got out of control after that. But you didnt mention that when she was mentioning uh, her little story there about her and her husband. Oh, i mean, we, weve, weve actually heard the former that we can call him the beltway inside or of all times is big new brzezinski actually say in the year 2000 to actually say, but the United States had completely a band in peace negotiations by that you know, by the time clinton was in office, we know that kept the camp david cox and the year 2000 were kind of a sham. It was just there for show. Nothing has ever really stuck from the oslo accords that were ratified in dc in 1993 and an oslo to ratified in top of egypt. No. 1995. None of that ever stopped. And you could, you could, you could, but yeah, the stories keep coming out there in that same manner and it looks and i hate to say it, but it looks like talking points from apax. I mean, thats just what it is. And this is a woman whos obviously taking a lot of their money. Truth be what it is. Thanks so much. We appreciate it. Manila latter porton is in china being received at the invitation of president g. And were going to show you how a picture can be worth a couple 1000 words, k, j. Know, as a journalist is a specialist on the Asia Pacific Region is going to do a little a body language exercise with us. When we come back, hes really good at it to dont go away. The the water is part of the blog post that isnt the deepest you of us and that in the word part is it something deeper, more complex might be present to that stuff without collision. Is that spelled out of the of the broken back of rick sanchez. This is direct impact. Thats dr. K j now k j is an expert on all things related to the Asia Pacific Region. And let me set this up for you. Recently president , she was invited to france and the president crowd looked like a get a school girl at a party trying to slap him on the back. Well, she appeared to give him kind of a cold fish and shed like to stop it. This is embarrassing. Lets look at the 2 images once again, the ones i showed manila a little while ago i want to get, i want to get a jays reaction to this. Are you see im with my chrome, does it look at them . I mean, it doesnt even look what, whats in now my chrome is padding on the back and everything. And then the other picture, its actually she whose paint patty pool and on the back and seems very engaged. I mean, these 2 guys look like theyre going to go out and buy furniture and share an apartment or something. Uh, whats going on. Uh, whats going on with this relationship that seems extremely more cordial and more friendly every time i see it. And with every time these 2 guys made between putting and she age i well, you know, its the 43rd time. Theyre amazing. So of course, you know, theyve had some time to build a relationship, but absolutely, youre right. It is very, very cordial. You can see the spontaneity, the ones, the real affection, and this is what theyve been highlighting that this really truly a relationship of deep friendship, amity cooperation when, when, etc. But i think the other dimension of this and, you know, theres the symbolism involved, you know, full pageantry, 21 god. Its the 1st meeting after the election. And if we follow the relationship our dime, you know, your 1st is always important right after she likes and the 1st person he met the starting us out and i wrote our conversation like these 2 guys are dating or something. Well, i mean theyre framing is that they have modeled a new cost or major country relation. Yes. And that pos as a strategic dimension, it has a military dimension of. Busy as it has economic tre, tech, and of course, you know, he brought all his senior officials to Energy Economy finance, but also the new minister of defense and grade that we saw and the former minister of defense circuit show. Well, i think theres a symbolism that why does china need russia the china needs russia because they share a 4000 kilometer uh, border. Uh and because uh the us is essentially a encircling china in order to take it down to containers and taking that ticket down. In originally the neil con plan was that russia would be an appetizer on the way to the main dish, which was china. But instead of russia or run through the proxy, when in ukraine turned out to be, as the french say, the plot device, the stalls. And theres been a lot of, you know, flounder is being served on that. On that serving. Does russia need china for the same reason the china needs russia of russia and china has a kind of natural synergy . I mean, as i pointed out, the neighbors, they share a border, but also china has the industrial capacity, the technological development. Russia has the strategic, the resource and the military capacity. And so its kind of a match that fits really, really well. But the other piece this, and this is, i think, really important is that china is sending a message to the United States. Remember, the us understand that it cannot defeat it, cannot roll over russia the way that he did originally planned to it. They thought it was going to be a cake walk. Yeah, hope or a gas station mask or anything as a nation. They couldnt do that because of chinas support largely in the economic trade field. And so their message to china is we cant beat russia unless you help us out. We need you to, we couldnt russia so, so we can defeat it and pivot to attack you. So, so, and if we look at china and russia together kind of with a, as a, as a, as a uni centric uh, geo political force. Where then does india and iran and south africa and brazil for example, fall into that equation. Well, you know, so the, they are the try block, right . Yeah, and chuck just approach is to the next the world through trade, through economies, their approach is to build not to but they want to build out relations connect so that we can all live. So they can all do develop so we can all have a wind uh, you know, cooperation, a good outcomes for everybody. And thats a post to the us approach, which is the ball and to capture. Yeah, to what do you think . So, i mean, lets put ourselves in the shoes of a washington analyst or somebody in the state department right now, and theyre looking at this conversation the kids right now and rick sanchez are having and theyre scratching their head and theyre saying, what do we do . I mean, because, you know, the ship has left the port, right. Its already formed. This relationship between china and russia is blossoming. The other countries are coming on board. Theyre ignoring our calls and hanging out with a new good looking guy as a new, a good looking go in, in the college campus. How do we fight it . Or do we join it or what the hell do we do . J. J . Well, you can see that they need it response as being too. Right . Right. So they have said to china, you know, you need to stop helping out russia or else and they have, you threatened, you know, of sanctions. They say we, you know, you dont want to find out what were going to do. Blinking says, dont bet against the United States. And china is response to this pressure of all, you know, breaking or weakening russia is to invite to 10 for full state honors. But heres, he
