clique, now we're a daily, we hold no punches, which is why we do it. we think we're necessary, look for it. all right, here we go. true from number one. always say own out. so is there entire management team? it seems. will tell you why. trip on number to baltimore's collapse bridge is causing global supply chain issues. and we're going to talk a lot about infrastructure and supply shit. a chain issues, truth bomb number 3. you may know him as p. diddy. police are looking at him as they investigate a sex trafficking ring. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. the . okay, let's get started. there's a couple of things that have occurred late that i can't help, but make us all take notice and even ask, oh my goodness, what's going on?

first, a plane door falls off mid flight from a horribly now beleaguered airline manufacturer who's been caught red handed, putting profit's way ahead of people by taking short cuts and it's manufacturing, ad inspection process. and now that c o of that said company is out bowing c o data. calhoun as a now and c will no longer be c o a boeing. he will in that role at the company at the end of this year 2024. he has just a one of 3 top executives departing the company, including its board chair and head of commercial airplane. yeah, let's see. oh dave calhoun. he says that he's stepping down from boeing as the military contractor that makes more planes as well as passenger jets, is re shaping it's management. and then there's this as well. everybody's still talking about this thing. this is the video that has now been shared all over the world. it's the bridge as it's collapsing right there into the,

into the water after being struck by a cargo ship. apparently going to have to where we're being told that because of this that you're seeing right there, it's going to have a severe impact on shipping along the east coast, the remnants, in fact, baltimore's francis got key bridge, has cut off all ocean routes to the city's major port and that is expected to cause severe disruptions to both transport, ad logistics, which experts are now saying is going to cause a ripple effect on global supply chains. is just one more problem for america's infrastructure crisis, which seems to be growing by today. and this is important, and this is why we want to talk about this. because in fact, according to the council of foreign relations, us infrastructure is dangerously overstretched and lagging behind. many developed countries all over the world, especially by the way they point out. they point out china, the roads,

the railways, the electrical grids, the internet providers, this, this, much of this stuff was building decades ago in this country. and it's struggling to keep pace. it's also having a severe financial burden on the country. there's a study done by uh, transportation analytics for me, it's called enriques. if you want to look it up, they found delays caused by our nations traffic congestion alone. much of it, which was designed like right after world war $2.00, costs our economy about $87000000000.00 a day, a the $87000000000.00 a day that we would have been able to generate have we had, if we had a system that was more updated. why? well inadequate uh they inadequately maintain roads, uh, trains, uh, waterways, great costly delays and stoppages like what is happening right now in baltimore, for example. and civil engineers are now warning that structurally deficient

bridges all over the united states has equated water plants and are posing serious uh, safety risks. not to mention the risk of catastrophic failures such as bridge collapses in banbridge's. and then there's this, i found this number kind of scary, 44044000 us bridges right now that we drive over had been inspected and a big had been declared to be in poor condition. we have 44000 very poor condition bridges in the united states. hello. so the u. s. is losing billions of dollars because of bad bridges and roads and dams, an antiquated airports and the like. why not. busy spend billions of dollars to fix it, right. am i crazy? or is that the obvious answer?

well, the answer to why we don't do it is in these numbers and i want you to take a look at them as i put them up. all right, take a look at how much money that is taken out of the pockets of tax payers in the united states. it doesn't go to fixing their bridges on the roads, etc. but instead it's sent to other countries. and this is nowhere near a total list, by the way, it's just the basic numbers as released a year and a half ago since then i understand they've continued to go up and up and up. and this doesn't include non budgeted items like what's happening right now. and gaza ukraine. $74000000.00. put it back up. let's look at it. put it back up. there it is. ukraine. $74000000000.00. israel $3300000.00 every single year without fail. ethiopia, $2200000000.00. did you know we were $72200000.00? the d o b? i didn't know that that can't stand $1400000000.00. and of course that's a part from the 2 trillion that's spent there during the 20 year. we're to trillion . yeah, that's what, that's what i said in case you didn't hear by the way. same could be said about

iraq. same could be set about. yeah, i'm an egypt, jordan. all are guaranteed more than a $1000000000.00 a year every single year of your tax dollars. as your bridges had the. busy roads remain in disrepair and money and we were looking at this and thinking this looks crazy by the way, don't be fooled when you look at this list by uh, the word humanitarian and they're humana, terry and aid compared to the amount that we spend on military needs in this country that often goes to contractors, the money we give to countries for who. 3 to terry and assistance is much, much more or pardon me, much, much less. here, let me give you an example of what i'm talking about. just one military contractor, for example. let's choose lockheed martin, one in 2020. the us government spent $75000000000.00 on lockheed contracts. you know, how much we spent that year for international development world wide, you know,

humanitarian stuff. 44000000000. that means one company, one company in the united states, got more in one year 75000000000 and then the whole total of all the humanitarian aid that we give world wide. i thought you'd want to know these things because they freaked me out when i looked at it. and when i started doing the research, joining me now is misty winston and steve go both the radio hosp political commentators who've joined us here in the past. i don't know, mostly i'll let you give a a for shot at this situation that i just explained. i couldn't stop thinking about this after watching that bridge collapse and wondering how many others we might see collapse in the next couple of years as we continue this. i'm more and more money to places like your great it is. um, those numbers when you laid all out like that are incredibly terrifying, especially given the number of people who are driving over these bridges every single day. it is, i think we just kind of take it for granted. at this point,

i was watching an interview and somebody said, you know, it's not something i even consider, i trust that you know, and these roles and these bridges are going to be safe for us to travel and very clearly they're not. and you're right, we're sending all of this money on other countries sending money to other countries . when right here at home, we have significant issues. this is not a small problem as you just laid on the numbers very clearly. we have so many bridges who are in disrepair and we're going to continue to see things like this, things like each policy and with a trained enrollment over and over and over again until we addressed that steam. how much of this is the politics? i mean, if, if i was a congressman or if i was a senator congresswoman heck, a a may or uh, you know, the governor of the state. i wouldn't be thinking, what can i do to make sure we have money that's appropriated towards the things that directly affect the people who live in my district in my state? do they not think that way of what we've asked these huge infrastructure bills about every 5 or 10 years?

do you remember when obama took office and joe biden was put in charge of handling all of that infrastructure money? where is it gone? our airports are disappear, our bridges are adjust repair our, our roads are filled with bottles. i was just recently understand. well, sergio was in moscow, russia, their roads are far and above ours and the international airport you see across the world make hours look like that. you know, ridiculous 19 fifties versus why or 3rd world countries able to generate the resources to build mall. there are also airports. is it, is it one or the other? shouldn't be one of the in other words. okay we, there's some people who think we have to spend money ukraine. i think they're crazy, but let's suppose you think we need to spend money. you credit. if you set it to ukraine, then you can fix your bridges or can you do both and why not? it was for borrowing money to send it to be. busy many of whom paid us, we can't do both because we're borrowing money from the chinese so that we could

run a massive debt that we can then send to others around the world without taking care of our own here at home. and it's not just ukraine, again, new looking at the investments they call them that we're doing around the world. yeah. not investing here at home. and i'll put one other in russia among others are play big in south america in africa, building infrastructure there and building relationships there. while we ignore these other countries, other partners that are owned at our own risk. yeah. but we do miss thing. we do spend money in many of those countries. i know historically being hispanic, that uh, you know, my heritage is from latin america and we have done a lot of things a lot in america, but it's not infrastructure more often than not. it has to do with c, i a covert operations and these things are expensive and military operations like building military bases like some of the stuff i've seen lately and bought them all for example, misty. yeah, well unfortunately in this country i think we've established an economy that

revolves around death and destruction and chaos rather than building things. right . and i think that that's really kind of the, the approach that we've taken in that to the, to the point of your question of can we do both very clearly not. and i think that unless i'm not some kind of an isolationist, i'm not opposed to helping people across the world when something catastrophic happens. or, you know, any, anything like that. if there's an earthquake and haiti, i'm all for, you know, and lending 8 and support. but we, we have these kinds of issues taking place at home. i think that we need to address those 1st. we need to clean our own house. first. it's kind of like when you're on an air, an airplane, and they tell you, you need to put your own mask on 1st. i very much feel like that's where the united states as right now, what do you make of this? uh, steve situation. uh, i mean, in baltimore where apparently now the federal government is trying to do clean up and this clean up is getting very expensive from what i'm reading and that port is closed. and because that bridges sitting there, not to mention the vehicles that may have fallen in and some of the other debris, other ships now can't pass. and there's several ships that can't get out and ships

that can't get in. this is one of the top 5 largest ports in the united states. they're talking about it having a very serious effect on the global supply chain. what do you make of that as well, and i don't trust anything we're hearing from the by the administration of the government right now. the fact that they could declare it was an accident. there was no terrorism, it was an accident before they even have all the cars at the bottom of the water. now it is kinda like there's constant. we're going to tell you what's happening before we even know what's happening and break like you. i'm a lawyer by background. why are we not even talking about the holding fee of the cargo ship owner, the insurance company for the cargo ship owner, at least partially responsible for this? why is joe might write the blank check? we're going to fix is we're going to pay all of this. i think. did you have a car wreck? you expect the person who caused the car wrecked at least probably a some of the cash to do the repairs? well, i will say, i mean, judging from the videos that i've seen, it looked like that poor guy,

this captain lost control of the ship. i don't know why he lost control of a ship. he lost control of a trip. you see the lights go out, which means suddenly his engine that failed, then you'll see more smoke coming out, which means he's pressing the engine, which apparently is failing again. and as you're watching this thing just before it happened, it does appear. i'm not saying there may not have been some foul play involved, but it definitely looks like that ship was uncontrollable or not under control at the time that it hit that. hit that bridge misty. what are you making this assistive tech problems before? right. keep in mind this, the ship that said other bridges, this is a ship, the satellite products, problems, other countries of say, i don't want you coming to our port with this ship. why didn't we do the same thing? no, it's a fair question, mr. do you? well, and then we also just recently learned about the company that charter, that cargo ship was recently hit by sanctions, by regulators for blocking employees for blowing the whistle on unsafe working conditions. so and again, this is something we see time and time again. we solve very similar situation with

norfolk southern in the east policy in ohio train development. there is this a kind of legacy of behavior here, this kind of a policy, it seems with these large companies where or they will do anything and everything to avoid accountability, to avoid regulations, to avoid providing safe working conditions. and i think that that's, we're going to continue to see that because essentially these corporations regulate themselves, they're able to just pay off politicians and break the system in their favor. and this is the result of what we're seeing or what does it take for americans? and we're going to talk about this on the other side of the break. what does it take for people like us, you know, people who have a good faith belief in our system to finally try to understand what we need to do to get our government to start spending more time on us and not on some of the other places where they are spending it, or is it even possible for that to happen? that's what we're going to be talking about right here. stay with us. we're going to be coming back with both of our guests,

and we continue this discussion regarding what we're now learning is the very sad condition of our us infrastructure. don't go away, i'll be right back the, [000:00:00;00] the, the, the,

[000:00:00;00] the, the renters. i do this, but it's a bit of a cover letter. got your little brother to me and i know even though for me at that i will follow to the school goodness, that's a good one. when you liked it, that was the issue and put it on leave her or to bridge the simple do this close to the i'm going to be like for us to be on the

right in the international stuff. try it the quarter back. i'm rick sanchez. here's the question that i, that i'm thinking as, as we're, as we're having this conversation, steve misty, if the american people were told individually, let's suppose i just came up to you, steve on the street and i said, steve, reach into your pocket and give me 30 percent of all the money you have today. and then i came back tomorrow and i said steve reached into your pocket and gave me 30 percent of the money you have. and then i came back the next day and said steve or mr. region to your purse or your pocket and give me all the 30 percent of all of them. and i did this every single day for a year for year, for year, for decades. in fact, which seems to be what we are doing right now to the american people. and

essentially said, i need that money because i want to send it to whatever company country x, for example. at one point, do you think that individual or collectively speaking this country, we as citizens will finally say, hey, stop, i'm tired of giving you my money. why haven't we gotten to that point? can you explain it to me, mr. you drive 1st as well? i think honestly, we are getting to that point and i think that there's been a, it's an accumulation of events. i think over the course of many years. but i think in recent times i think be a disaster in maui. was a big wake up call for a lot of people. the city of lineup was in ashes in the united states. government offered to send them $700.00 per household, not per person. per household. meanwhile, were sitting billions of $1.00 to $1.00 of the most corrupt countries been on earth to the bottom here, zalinski to launch this a proxy war against russia and unwinnable proxy weren't. i think of that

a lot of people are now starting to question these decisions and question where this money is being sent. now are we there yet fully, of course now, and is it going to take some time for people to awake into this reality? probably, but i think that honestly, there are a lot of people that are starting to get to that point, but it's starting to get there and being there are 2 different things. how do i keep us from getting there? i'm just gonna finish out and finish that thought out if you could miss you before i go to see how do they keep us from getting to that point. why, why, how do they keep the blinders on us? well, and in an incredible amount of propaganda, i think the united states is easily a, one of it's not the most propagandized country on earth. and i think that there's a lot of effort, time money and resources put into a line to the american public, manipulating the american public. and they've done a very good job of that. even with the situation in ukraine. they had a lot of people convinced this was a good idea, something that we needed to do. and we've seen support for that weighing over time . unfortunately, i wish it was something that would hold and that people would not kind of lose focus on these types of things. they often do the next time a work comes around. they will be easily persuaded to support that one as well

unfortunately. but i do think that over time we are starting to see more and more people are kind of snap out of that delusion pickup on those days. go ahead. that i think sees exactly right, is the propaganda and the american people are not paying attention. you know, if you look at a poll and you ask your voters, should we spend several dollars on x, y, or z? they'll be overwhelming support. because emotionally, that sounds good. if you ask them to receive tax dollars on that, they, they overwhelmingly oppose it. or somehow this disconnect between tax dollars in federal funds. there are no federal funds, they're only our funds. and i believe rick, if we would just move alexis data april 16th the day after tax time. maybe we would have a revolt in this country on our bodies, the expense. instead they put it about as far away as they can from tax. they put it sometime in november, so maybe people forget to easily. all right, let's go to another story. now this is making international news,

the story of an internationally famous american musician who you probably know, which is why i want to catch you up on what is going on with sean combs, who you likely know as a p. diddy. look at these federal agents reading his homes in los angeles in miami. it appears that they're looking for information about sex trafficking ring. we're led there by one of combs ex girlfriends who contacted the police, accusing him of sex trafficking himself. preliminary reports seemed to suggest that chrome was doing something according to some alleged reports. similar to what jeffrey epstein was doing with suggestions that he was also attracting young women to his homes, as well as rich and or famous people. imagine that police have also seen as combs or phones already, as well as some other items on his property. and it appears that there now following up on bombshell complaints from somebody, women who have charge of sean combs subjected them to vicious meetings and sex trafficking and rape, and $135.00 page filing,

one of the women says that combs punched and kicked and stumped on her and forced her to have drunk fueled intercourse with other men during arrangements. he w to freak offs. wow, misty, i know you're probably choking it with all of this, so i'll let steve give it a 1st shot. and what, what does this come from? mean, what does it say? i don't even know where to go, steve. so i'll just give you the mike, my friend. well, 1st of all, i just think all the people who benefited from the free gossen alleged sex strategy . they should slaves the address. well it died because based upon the epstein the follow up to nobody's going to be prosecuted. nobody's going to be investigated. he did, he might get in trouble, but all those who were participating and benefiting from it, we haven't seen the 1st grade. the 1st prosecution on anybody were on the i've said list that to me is more disgusting than anything and everything i've seen did is our government covering it up. you're going to do the same thing with the do you think so?

you think with people who are involved if they are. 2 actually wealthy and rich are probably wealthy and famous and have and are influential. they'll get a lawyers and they, we won't be able to touch them once again as seem to be the case with uh, with the epstein uh, misty and warranty. yeah. 100 percent. i'm a prosecutor after wife died. yeah, yeah, exactly. yes that's i was, i was going to address that as well unless, and this is a long standing open secret in hollywood. i consider the music industry to be very uh, entrenched in the hollywood scene. and we know that this has taken place, has been numerous documentaries, in fact one called an open secret. there was the one just recently called quiet on set up where it's this happens on a regular basis. i mean, this is, this is not a new thing. and i think that with this obviously, i think in my opinion, duty is being used as kind of a fall guy here. and it's going to be used as a distraction to prevent anybody else from seeing any. and so so, so both of you are telling me, pardon my innocence here, that this kind of crap is really prevalent where it's fully, it's not an isolated incident that when people get so filthy rich that they don't know what the hell to do with their money. and or famous and they get giant

mansions, they use them for those kinds of things and it won't be the 1st time we shouldn't be shocked. is that what you're saying? yes, it looks like he did. he may have been following the ups the playbook of was the videotape thing. was he getting blackmail information on the ridge and the powerful using it for economic benefit or other benefit? i mean that we've seen the blueprints at epstein laid out how many others are following that. yeah. be these alleged to be doing it. how many others? yeah, i, by the way, we, we ought to be very careful, has not been charged is being investigated when your home gets rated and they're talking about sex driving. obviously we have to pay attention to a story like this. but there is a possibility that this is nothing but a lot of his former girlfriends who are saying these horrible things and many of them are suing. i mean, should we give that some some, some thought here as well? mostly to be fair. and i think that it to be certain maybe, but i think that it's more than not it's more than just some former ex girlfriends

because listen, we do have to be very careful when it involves a former partner of any kind. you can have, you know, the, the kind of vindictiveness that comes along with a bad break up or, or things like that, nothing that this is what it is. but you do have to just be kind of aware of that and skeptical, but it's not just out of this has been a long standing room or for a very long time in hollywood. the justin bieber is an usher. there's been these kind of rumblings for some time around. did he so i think it's more than just some uh, you know, some angry ex girlfriend. so, oh, you know, i spent most of my time following, you know, politics and geo politics and that kind of stuff. and i don't know a lot about this, but the more i hear about it, the more i hear the people are saying it's a lot more prevalent that we might think. and maybe this is the time for somebody to go in there and take a good hard look at what happens in this hollywood ish kind of environment. steve, i'll give you the last word 30 seconds and i'm just glad i've always treated my ex is very, very well. what is it to use the no one's into the

uh said like a true irish do. thank you, my friend. we appreciate your time as to you too. we'll be looking forward to having you again very soon before i go, i do want to remind you of our mission. it's simple really. we, we, we try to de, silo the world, try to stop living and little boxes where people only agree with each other truths, don't live in boxes. we try to share the information as it comes in with you and create conversations. i'm rick sanchez. i'll be looking for you again right here. well, we have to provide a direct impact. the 1941 with the nazis health relation, ultra nationalist view, establishes the claim, the independent state of croatia. shortly off,

the seizing power. they build the scene of us concentration camp a place associated with the worst atrocities committed in yugoslavia during will go to use dash is use the cam system to isolate and exterminate subs, roma, jews, and other non catholic minorities and political opponents of the fascist regime conditions in the scene of us come when the gods tortured to arise and the prisoners they send them a consultation temps. so most of them died. it was incredible genocide. the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must probated orders given in human beings, except we're so charters that conflict with the 1st law show your mind, anticipation. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence. the point

obviously is to trace a truck or rather than to the area. i mean, with the artificial intelligence we have summoning the demon, the robot must protect this phone. existence was alexis, the secretary of defense, lloyd austin declared, well, hosting is is rarely, counterparts b, u. s. these are all military relationship is on shaky level. as israel continues of slaughter a palestinian st. garza, the historical record notes. the american administration is a name co conspirator to jennifer

the position i would suggest in belgrade i was suggesting that we send americans in and uh the bridges on the drain. but on your bill is us on obama move dining and potty now and they allow us to go to stonewall. wanted see it all the owners will tell you that you will see from us the glasses. you know, the middle of it is what i normally file a possibility and this was always does. when this one is known as the guidelines source or cit, emotional running room, it might be, you know, a lot less radioactive than that something is active uranium, but still it's radioactive and has toxins that the kid killed the if you want me to kind of see what this is, again, let's see if the eco seats not going, but i don't, you know,

those huge mold were suggesting we farm sell great, beautiful colors. what day was the man uses, exchange some quotes, various initiatives with ukraine's foreign minister to resolve the conflict with russia. adjusting the incense bike yet. so when you get a over, they have some short skepticism, is also head among the indian public. 20. i don't know india because that seems to take care of why it weighs yesterday from claims as well for overnight strike, a note in syria, which reports that he left almost 40 people dead from the city of a level. and the number of faith tell us is from last fridays talking must go crimes to
