smoke you by the same will bring the the entire body of this, the bailey show. now, very different in many ways because we hold no punches. so look for it. and here we go. to the bottom number one. ukraine has once again fired missiles into russia targeting civilians. trip item number 2 to lensky blames the president of ukraine. blames is a patch on the west for not giving a more money trip. i'm number 3 is huge, huge movement is getting ready to vote for a very 1st time for monique will tell you. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact the

. all right, let's get right to it. there has been another attack on the russian city of boulder on the right as a border town. it's a stone's throw from ukrainian territory and has come under repeated attacks by drones and shelling a video right there that was captured by civilians. and it's now been shared on telegraph all this within the past 24 hours, it shows the onslaught of incoming ukrainian missiles, which damaged to houses injured, one person who was treated and released by the way. why so little damage? why did they do so little damage mean getting a place like this with vessels? well, ever since ukraine began targeting civilians in the area of belgrade, russia did 2 things. first thing of data is pointing to advanced air defense system

to intercept incoming missiles. that is what you are seeing right there in this video, or almost all of these missiles were intercepted. now, we should talk a little bit about that air defense system, the air defense system. it seems to be working right based on what we just saw there. but there had been countless attacks in the past where nothing or very little was intercepted. tonight, new video capturing the moment missiles, rain down on the bill, girl, russia, a border 25 miles from you. crazy. it's one of the most severe attacks carried out on russian soil since the war began. flitted show explosions in the middle of town, with cars and buildings on fire and black smoke rising across from a christmas mark. this man, horrified and saying on his cell phone footage, there are dead people lying there. everything is smashed glass everywhere. russian

officials say more than a dozen people were killed, including children, more than a 100 others wounded. it's. yeah, it's, it's, it's been horrible and it's been going on and on for quite some time the attack on civilians killing many of them, including children as you heard in the report as force of the government and parents to take on the difficult task of picking those children in to live there in belgrade, and moving them out of the border town for their own protection. 9000 children, not being evacuated from the russian city of belgrade, following ukrainian strikes. the coffin of belgrade published a video on friday, showing the departure of the fast group. $1200.00 children will lead the pens of the town, which is on the border with ukraine. a scene shelling and recent weeks strikes have

killed 16 people and injured several of those rational sorts of accused ukraine of carrying out the strikes. well, actually it's not so much an accusation as it is a dangerous tactic on the part of ukraine. ukraine is asked if not bang for the us nato countries to please send me more money and more arms to combat the tax on their own territory. they say, and they have to, they have received it by the way, most of the funds, most of the money to the tune of hundreds of hundreds of billions of dollars buy some estimates, something like 300 and $20000000000.00 has been punched to them or stop and think about that number $320000000000.00. but it seems most of that funding has been sent and spent, and still ukraine has not been successful in repelling russian advances. those are just the facts. okay. in fact, most military analysts, even those now in the west,

the guys you see on like cnn and the bbc and fox and all those places, they're going on the air and having to admit for the 1st time that ukraine is losing ukraine is losing this war with russia, and it's continually giving up more and more territory. now, if that's the case, which it seems to be, why them is ukraine not taking every penny that it has left or every penny that it gets? think about this and using it in the, in, in the manner in which those who sent the money to them intended to be used. right . what, why aren't they using it to protect their own territory? the answer to that question has to do with a very knock, a villian tactic that president lensky seems to be deployed stores all of you know, to deviate from our call on line. the line of justice, as i said,

and justice for mr. sa landscaped means. so let's get appears to be implementing some form of blackmail on the west, essentially telling them, look, i don't want to attack russia. i don't want to attack russia. but if you don't give me more money, if you don't give me zalinski more money than i have to. i mean that, that's the, his argument seems to be, i'm doing, i'm, you know, i'm, i'm bombing uh, you know, cities like belgrade, because i have to, it's all i can do using us and nato a weapon rate, a bomb russian targets, especially civilians and even children is no doubt giving many western leaders heartburn, it's gotta be right. they could simply cut off the landscape. they could tell him that he's just gone too far and that his actions could cost world war 3 and he's better stop. or they could just pay the ransom right?

pay there and somebody give him the funding that he wants, which is what he says they must do. so that way he won't have to, he won't feel compelled to have to attack places like bound rock. this is fascinating, this, this will malcolm basically and came that we're talking about now involved in russia and, you know, great britain in the united states and ukraine. what right now, by the way, and i should tell you, this is important. it appears that the us congress is leaning toward doing just that, paying the ransom, giving them what he wants there's, there's certainly enough boats to, to move the bi partisan pieces through the house. and what about the question of zalinski going to far in attacking those russian targets potentially conflict grading this uh this uh, this war zone. well, it appears the us concern is not so much whether ukrainian missiles kills severe. busy ions and, or children, they appear, us officials,

that is to be more concerned about the girl. listen to this, you know, what they're more concerned about the global oil markets. according to this article right there that i'm showing you right now that i read this morning when i woke up . according to this article in the washington post us vice president, cala harris met with mister zalinski in munich recently and warned him to stop attacking russian oil refineries. according to this waffle article, the vice president tulsa landscape, to refrain because it is a topic that quote, us officials believe would raise global energy prices. and the exact words that i just read you was what i read this morning. and the article that's being attributed either to the vice president or the vice president's team. higher gas prices is not what the white house wants during an election year. joining us now to discuss this

too long time guess of the show were joined by former pentagon official, michael maloof, and international relations and security analyst, the mark just about a. um, i guess we start there, mark, i go to you. what do you make of this wonderful article which seems to suggest that the united states is concerned with so wednesday, uh, sending missiles into russia, but not so much because they might kill children and injures of elkins or start ro, board 3. and for us that gets angry enough but because. busy as they're interfering with. busy the global oil prices, you say what to that? sorry. yeah. so 1st of all it's western political leads. political, military leads don't give a fig for the russian civilians in belgrade or ukrainian civilians. for instance, that were sheldon, the don boss, by the regime that sees power with us help and key of in 2014. in fact,

the western media, including the new york times, spoke approvingly of long range strikes into bel gourd. and last year, drones strikes on skyscrapers in moscow as necessary to bring the war home to the russian people, which is white washing and justifying political tear openly in the us as ashley long promoted a strategy of long range strikes into russia. now when it comes to the, the question of the oil refineries, it's a little bit more complicated. we know that american voters are either cause ludicrously sensitive to the price of gasoline over any other electoral issue with the name. certainly, electoral candidates are very careful about it and if there's even a perception that um

a russian strikes on russian oil refineries are raising the price of oil. now that's question because these are refineries. they're refinery oil for domestic gas to lee use. for the most part, there's a question. first of all, it hasn't had that much of an effect. there hasn't been a spike. and gas lien price is diesel prices in russia. there hasn't been, um, a, any slow down of the russian military on the front due to a lack of supplies. generally, the effect of the strikes is vastly over inflated in the western media. that said, the markets are always rational things. the price of oil was going up and better to play it safe. now here's the problem. i have every long range strike like heating oil refineries in craftsman. daughters is facilitated by western satellite that every single want know strikes are impossible. without 440 nato's satellites pin,

put those in every other strikes deep within russia. so whatever the u. s. may be saying publicly, they're also providing the targeting data for these strikes, in my opinion, spending kamala harris to send the foreign policy message is pretty much equivalent to the way the chinese just greeted. the german chancellor o off schultz at the airport in bay jake. they sent the deputy mayor of beijing to meet with the mayors are really important. michael beloved joins us as well. michael, to the idea that we would create a scenario where the weapons that you and i pay for with our taxes are being used to kill civilians and russia is not something i ever thought that i would see in my lifetime. and it scares the hell out of me, shouldn't it?

yes, we shouldn't even be involved. but given the politics and they have a lucian of where we are today, you can see why that's happening, why we're also now deeply involved in another term while in the middle east. i think one of the, uh, zalinski is problems, is that so much is of the of us ordinance now is going to israel and not to him. yeah. but is it but, but my point is this, and it's a fine one. is this not a bridge too? far, i mean, it's one thing to support ukraine and say, we're going to give you money so you can defend yourself against an invasion from russia to another thing to say, we're going to give you money. and if you're okay to use it to bomb russia, a country with more nuclear, where warheads and we got, well, the united states tries, as you say, ties to discourage the wency from doing that. he is black mailing the united states to get more otherwise he'd use them internally. that's his argument. but he is as marks as heating oil refineries in russia using drones, but they're not in

a swarm tactic. and so n, he's not destroying them that, that the russians, the russian oil economy still can deal with that. but the, but the reality is that zalinski is, is, is black mailing the united states to get more stuff, more money, much of that money is going to go to produce more to our, to our industrial complex. yeah. to, to produce those weapons. so we can give him the older which, which is the game. yeah that's, that's, that's, that's really the game that is the game. what, what do you make of a month? you know, i go back to you on this mark, be the big this question of i called it blackmail. i mean, i'm using the word blackmail. maybe. maybe i'm using that term out of school, but i can think of a better term and i was sitting there as i was carrabba's as i was writing my intro today, i was sitting there on the computer thinking, and i wrote black mail that i got rid of it that i wrote it again that i got rid of it and then i replaced it with another word. and finally i went with it and said, is there a better word than blackmail? if you're telling the united states or nato country is,

is you don't give me this money. i am going to do that. i mean, i also, i suppose, could have made the comparison to what my children did when they were very young. and that was to throw themselves on the ground and scream and kick them till i gave them what they wanted. same thing. okay, so there may be an element of black male, as you say here, specifically with regards to the threat of, of raising oil prices, raising gasoline prices during the us in a campaign year. but i want to point out the, the u. s. as in courage, right? long range strikes within russia. this has been spoken about in policy papers. it's been spoken about by u. s. military experts. the secretary of defense lloyd austin, has said, the goal of the us is too weak in russia and to inflict on them a strategic defeat. they don't care about american weapons being used in russia.

they are just fine with that. that isn't acceptable escalation at this point because of the u. s. policy officials of said there, russia has no red line reading. we will not pay any attention. the red lines, which is absolutely taught a nuclear power, that not only as you said has more nuclear weapons in the us. what actually has far more modern nuclear weapons and carriers like hypersonic missiles and, and sar math and liked them the united states. but this is on the ask, this is the escal atory latter that we're on and the u. s. has no sign that they even desire and exit ramp. i think this aid was always going to be approved. and it's really just domestic, petty part is in wrangling that has held it up over a border security issue as long as it has got to get to you. i know i see you over

there, you're ready to go. we're going to give me 5 2nd. give me a cheese on what you want to say. it doesn't have the, he doesn't have the, the, the, the ordinance to do anything internally. so he's going to try to aim at infrastructure within russia. it's south side. we'll keep it at that and you'll be able to amplify that when we come back, michael maloof as well as my actual boat right here. i'm rick sanchez. we're going to be back with more on this discussion and ask a question about another country that's going to be in the news for the next 6 to 7 weeks in the big election important election. lots so young people will put those 2 together points throughout the the what is part of the blog

post that isn't the deepest of us and that in the word part is it something deeper, more complex might be present during that stop without collision. is that strong part of the as the the out probably her mother's storage. okay. the model girl that i got you no problem seem to them out of and those are things arguments yeah. suddenly drive i showed my brother through he was sudden to help people for a lo so now i never looked at searches as being saved. well i guess i lost my list. that's the outcome of different kinds of lease.

it'd be gang chicago is like to give you a photo that leaves you lazy as another crime scene. another could have been a doctor. a nurse could have been the next president. we can't keep losing people out here, the water back distracted back. i'm rick sanchez. i'm drawing by up for republican official, michael maloof, security analyst, marshall boulder. mike, thanks to both of your gentlemen for joining us. i know you were, you were like the kid in class raising your hand and wanting to be called on by the teacher here. and uh, i think, i think you make a fair point to expand on that, that you were sharing with us. yeah. they're not going to get the ordinance and whatever they do get, it's got to be too little too late. and it doesn't change the straight at the strategic balance of what is on the ground in ukraine today. and so the lift gate

is using his home, made drones, basically, to hit the infrastructure inside of russia to try to weaken. and that's what has alarm about the oil and gas. what do you believe that he's doing this? you know, listen i, i was just listening. moments ago i started is clicking around because the big boat is this weekend in congress about the is coming up in a couple of days regard. ready the vote on whether to fund not just ukraine, but taiwan and israel and everything else. and i was listening to some of the congressman, him, a couple of congressmen were saying they're on the verge of losing every thing. i mean, things are so bad, a new credit and you have no idea how bad it is. we've got to help those folks. well, that was the argument he was making, but i, what i took from it was, things are really bad in ukraine. him, does it not? i mean he, ukraine has run out of soldiers. ukraine has run out of a lot of things. yeah. they're in

a very tough place. right. and there's gotta be no kind of offensive what the rush was always, always what you're sending them because they can't fight internally. let's just lost some muscle. yeah. but it, it, russia, yes, piece meal. it's, it's, it's pinpoint stuff to just irritate, but it doesn't, it doesn't eliminate or knock down the structure of what they would need. that'll be all right, but we've got to have the, mike, but here's the other thing. you're killing innocent people. you're killing us. i know, i know, i know that but the, but what's the response rush? it was in response to some of these attacks the other day. rushes response was the a knock out completely, the electric generators and keep, you know, i'm a big way ice. i almost think there's a similarity right now between a ron and russia. i mean, iran has a country destroyed. it's embassy assassinated, several of its people while they're doing it in a 3rd country. and they basically call with 5 hours of anticipation and say, oh, by the way, we're going to send some drums, make sure you knock them all down,

you know, like really, and now i'm watching russia, they're having civilians killed and i'm wondering, please rush, i don't do what i think you can do, please don't do that because it's gonna start world war 3. but i think russia is actually showing um, you know, uh what, what's the word i'm looking for here. mark what, what is what is, was showing that a lot of people wouldn't expect they want him after being hit this way. restraint, restraint, no possible state would a, and the desire not to escalate to a nuclear confrontation with the united states. but all of these things are lost on the, the politicos posing is war time leaders in washington, d. c. a who, if you just simply aren't capable of, of understanding these concepts? i think michael maloof is right that this long range strikes is a deliberate strategy for the average him because they can't win on the battlefield

. and the west cannot provide the key munitions like artillery shells and intercept their missiles for air defense in the quantities that they need. whether the money game screw or not, because their military industrial complex isn't geared up for this. but from the very beginning, the only hope of a russian defeat in this has been a co lapse of political stability in russia. the intention in washington they, they fully believed that the, the sanctions would have that effect if they would crush the russian economy. the, the rubel would be rubble as, as we heard the jen sack a and then others say, and the russian people would rise up in the street and over throw their government and then that that would be right. obviously that didn't happen. so the only way to create the political stability and russia necessary to shake their political well,

me is these type of terror attacks. these type of long grain strikes on civilians as the new york times bought it to bring the war home to the russian people. that's a deliberate strategy of hoping against hope of creating political turmoil and russia is having the exact opposite effect of yes, the russian people are showing remarkable rally around the flag. and let's finish this and it's having the opposite effect. but they really don't have any other options. i would expect that their tactics will get more it stream and more extreme and more dirty. and russia is already saying that there is a ukrainian possibly a western connection with terror attacks, like the crocus seen. and that's all tear. and another example of this long range strike. and that's an important word or using care. we got 30 seconds cuz i've got

another story on india. i want to get and go. i want to just say that. so lensky was doomed from the start on, on this campaign against russia. they were always trained for defensive not offensive. and that's why they have their failing today. i want to bring in this other story. now i want to share something with you. this is interesting, this is something that is taking place in india and i'm going to get a little bit of help in there. perfect. to show you a typical in the news. you're ready. this is his name, but i liked this guy. i really liked this guy. his name is josh rush saying, and i like young people everywhere. he's full of life, a heck of a dancer, don't you think? he's also one of about 18000000 young indians who will go to the polls for the 1st time this year? 18000000. and what are they looking for when they vote of jobs like this or provide the education the employment? because a lot of youth is not getting educated much, then they're not going to have a good job. they are educated as educated as anybody in the world. but they're

going to need jobs. the election starts this weekend. it's gonna last about 7 weeks bodies expected to win in a landslide, but that hasn't stopped him from thinking about locking in that youth about he's implementing and has just announced a plan for more and newer jobs. he better screwed. 18000000 of the data. 30 seconds, do you think you didn't know if bark? um, he has shown the ability to raise uh, india z economy. they're one of the fastest growing economies in the world, surpassing china by so measures. and moti is easily going to win the landside he's seen is the pro business candidate. yeah, i agree. i think it's going to be hard for him to do anything but when and when, by a lot my thanks to both of you. we are out of time mark as usual. brilliant stuff, michael maloof as usual, the same to you. thanks for the good stuff. great conversation. my thanks to both of you. before we go, i want to remind you of our mission. it's simple, really. the sign of the world,

that's what we try to do here every day. we've got to stop living in these little boxes where we only know what we know and maybe what our neighbor we like knows to still live in boxes. temperature, probably looking for you again, right here on directive. the russian states never as tight as i'm sort of the most sense community invest in most all sense and in the system must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission,

the state on the russians cruising and split the r t spoke neck, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for the question, did you say they replaced the the dns of the new jews? goes as then choose for many essentially it's one of them made best the cube ones bullshit games or pressed. and nobody can know it seems everybody's on smoking by the same the the when i was

a little boy growing up in the us state of pennsylvania, we had thousands and thousands of chestnut trees in the area. we used to throw the chestnuts at each other for fun, and our parents would gather them and roast them as a snack. but then disease struck the american chest, not populations. i haven't seen a chestnut tree in decades. they're almost all gone. scientists now say that they've come up with a plan to revive the american chest, not through genetic engineering, to something that might sound like a great idea. but is it? it's never been done before, and we have literally no idea what it will do to other trees as its pollen is spread by the wins. bees and other insects are we saving the american chestnut for our we do mean other species and john kerry onto welcome to the whistle blowers the . 2 2 2 2 scientists have been working for years to revive the american chestnut,

a large tree that once covered the eastern part of the country and provided food for humans and animals. the like. the tree usually lived for hundreds of years and made up an important part of the eastern american tree canopy. but beginning in the early 20th century, the tree was affected by something called chestnut like a fungal disease that came from the base of japanese chestnut. beginning 19 o 4 in spanning the entirety of the 20th century, it is estimated that the blake killed between 4 and 6000000000 american chestnut trees now only stumps and roots. systems remain. they produce young saplings which are almost immediately infected with chestnut light. and then they die. there are now only between 60800 american chestnut trees that survive. and they're all in the northern part of the state of michigan. several groups of scientists are working to revive the american, just not including a group at the state university of new york college of environmental science and

forestry.
