The Kamala Harris effect: How the DNC convention is shaping public perception

On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez takes a look at former US President Donald Trump’s latest endorsement from ex-Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard is the most recent progressive Democrat after RFK Jr. to come over to Trump’s side. Now the media is laying it on heavy, referring to both as ‘conspiracy theorists’. Will the endorsements push Trump over the edge, or will media tactics to smear him as a nutcase work?

Meanwhile, Poland stands at a crossroads with Ukraine. Warsaw has decided to stop shipping arms to Kiev over a disagreement concerning grain imports, while at the same time it is massively increasing its defense spending in 2025. International correspondent Manila Chan joins Rick to discuss all of this. Then, Direct Impact is joined by Craig ‘Pasta’ Jardula to discuss the ‘conspiracy theorist’ moniker and if it will stick. Don’t miss it.
