just on to uh, the potential would be buyers. yeah, and as i washington is just a proof of $61000000000.00 a package for ukraine. washington says loads of new military equipment. it is right now arising a new crate and then heading to the front lines. our but most go sir, is it just the bottom? the railway line with the train carrying many tons of western weapons, seems like, you know, lasting long these days. this is off the international the the pirate buddy. this is a daily show because well, it's different. we hold no punches, so look for it every day. well, yeah, truth bomb number one, mike johnson. he gets boomed by students at columbia university to trip on number 2

. johnson goes on to lecture those students accuse and try to humiliate them. they are protesters who are calling for a cease fire that they deserve that just phone number 3. us secretary state entity blanket arrives in china after giving tie $18000000000.00 and they the chinese that is they don't like it. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. the, i want to start with the question, why just why, why would you do something like this? unless it's just a pure power play. an almost romanesque move among peasants because you know, or you think you have all the power the,

i mean what the house even doing their speaker suddenly showing up at a college campus to take on protesters asking for a ceasefire. and did you notice a smile? did you notice the smirk on his face there uh, at the end. imagine, imagine how smug and self important you have to be to show up at a place where people are angry that you are sending money to condone and continue a massacre of the people that they are protesting about the people that they are caring about. any show up there to make sure them and to ridicule them. how does that seriously, who does that?

speaker of the house, mike johnson, that's who a man who likes most of us politicians and is crazy system of ours is simply a guy we pay. we pay him a salary, so he can steal from us. last, i checked to the tune of $9000000.00 in, in, in donations from, from political donors. i mean, here's mike johnson reading a statement to the students to do is print testers like he's trying to get their go right. he's trying to make them mad at me that it works by the way. yeah. and the statement almost sounds like it's written by v as really war cabinet, as he, as he tells the students what he basically is looking at them and saying, you're all terrible, terrible people here. listen. the chairs, traditions of this university are being overtaken right now by radical and extreme ideologies. they place

a target on the backs of jewish students in the united states. and here on this campus. a growing number of students have chatted in support of terrorist. they've chase down jewish students, the mock them and the reviled them. they have shouted racial ethnic epithets. they have screamed at those to be, are there the star of david? enjoy your free speech. wait a minute, enjoy your free speech. what does that sound like? what, what does that enjoy your free speech? is that a threat? is that a threat? is he suggesting that he can take it away from them? like our parents would say to us, i hope you like that, that, that, that you know, that ice cream you're having, cuz you're not going to get any more of it. i've actually sort of i mean, is that what it's doing is you're going to take it away from them. a, as in fact he may, is he suggesting that's freeze. they just,

it's something that comes from him. and it comes from the government and they are on great say for not thanking him for giving them this, this opportunity to say these crazy things that they think. what, what, by the way, free speech is an inalienable, right? right. it's, it's guaranteed to us as human beings or so we thought least that's what jefferson said, right? i mean, that's what john locks at. if you go back and read where the find, you know, where, where, where are constitutional thinking came from. by the way, no less the constitution, the u. s. constitution guarantees, i felt like some politician could go somewhere and say you better be careful. you like what you're doing because i can pick that away from you. what's it doing? i mean, i'm sorry, but when i watch this as an american, i was just, i was actually angry and wondering what the hell is going on here. i can't help but

ask myself if, as i watch this moment, i'm not looking into the future and seeing what a us religious the accuracy is gonna look like at some point. i mean, look i, i happened to be a christian, i grew up catholic, you know, proud to have grown up catholic, still practice catholicism. but i don't use it against other people or other religions. mike johnson has told us that his position on gaza and what he's doing here there at. busy columbia university comes from the bible, his interpretation of the bible. by the way, those that's not my take on it. he said it appeared as the biblical admission to stand with his ro, we will and, and they will prevail. it's a big to go out much to watch. did you hear what you just said? let me hear it again. it's a beautiful ammunition to stand with his ro, we will and, and they will prevail. it's

a bit biblical admonition. that's. so he's basing my country, maybe your country is foreign policy on his reading of the bible, which most christians would by the way, disagree with that reading that he has of the bible. i mean, there's something just so horribly troubling about this speech about johnson doing this as he lectures. protesters for saying mean things that quote might cause others to place a target on the backs of jews. one can help then, but think especially me cuz i happen to have a last name that ends in easy right. like sanchez gomez rodriguez. you know, those folks 60000000 of us who live here in the united states. so when we hear that, we can think of how hypocritical this is coming from a man was done that exact thing when it comes to mexicans and other immigrants from

latin america coming into the united states. i mean, because of him and his very ugly words on that topic, which he has a right to by the way. he has a right to exactly words. we all have right to ugly words. but it's because of his ugly words in part that these folks from mexico and other immigrants, or as he would call them all the illegals, probably including me, that somehow that's the reason. so many of those folks are hated by millions of americans. look, that's just the fact. go look at any pole that's been done on this. and this is not a political point. i'm not making a political argument here. i'm not trying to be pro this are prob that this isn't about the right. this isn't about the left and absolutely american jews shouldn't be respected for their accomplishments as should you know, american immigrants, or hispanic immigrants who are americans. so again, i mean,

this is not about politics. it's about the ugly and very on american. let me repeat that. the ugly and very american look of self righteousness, the over waning attitude, that we're seeing from wayne to many of our leaders these days. but seem to suggest they can tell us what to do. while they take millions of dollars from defense contractors and then millions more in this case from israel. by the way, johnson is not alone here. the. yeah. see that guy right there. i can say the same about him. that's the secretary state anthony, blinking, who flies around the world, telling other countries what they must do, what they must do. it's as if, as easy as the rest of the world exists only at the pleasure of what he and

president biden mandate at any given time. speaking of the president, as we watched blinking arriving in china in the place of president biden, it's kinda hard not to wonder what most americans must be thinking. and that is why isn't mister by meeting with the president of china? is he too old? is he too feeble? just ask him, look, we should probably know or out of decency and diplomatic protocol, but chinese did not meet the secretary of state. the way the speaker was met with those right. like we saw in columbia university. i mean, those are students, though the chinese probably thought about it. the chinese are set to be in sensed by what the secretary of state blinking has just pushed through congress a payment of $8000000000.00 to taiwan, so that taiwan can build up its military for a possible war with china. now,

let me put you in their place. if you're a china, right, you are china. that has to be calling. right? because as they see a taiwan is one of their provinces with which they have some differences, no doubt it to them. it's not another nation with which it wants to have a war. in fact, china is, is not holding back after what they have seen occur in the last week with especially the 8000000000 dollars that was, that's, that was because the soon after you saw blinking arrived there, they released this statement saying, and no uncertain terms that china does not appreciate the meddling in their affairs when it comes to taiwan. here it is, or hello and teach a initial jungle and make the taiwan issue as time has internal affairs, which tolerate to no external interference. the session of taiwan related content

and to the us congressional bill seriously violates the one china principal and the free joint communiques of china in the us. and since a wrong signal to the separate is forces and tie one, we're formerly opposed to it. we are the us side to honor his commitment of not supporting taiwan independence we concrete actions and stop arming taiwan mean in any way, want only joining us now to talk about this is george us. some really is research of fellow at the global policy institute and the author of the book, bonds for peace, nato's humanitarian war on yugoslavia. um, well, i can only imagine what it would be like if texas who has suggested at certain times, sometimes seriously, sometimes not so seriously. but they want to separate from the united states because they don't like the liberals in the white house. they don't like the fact that the united states is screwing up their border, and they probably wouldn't be big enough and do well enough alone. and suddenly,

soon after they say that here comes china or russia or a ron and says fine. since you don't like washington, we're going to help you. we're going to give you $8000000000.00 plus we're going to give you some more planes and some tax. i just can't help but wonder how what that's what those george as well right. get as it was said, sorry. well, the united states would act with great deal of force and would be quite brutal in the way it applies as far as, there's no comparison with china, china has been extremely holler. and um, oh, well this is, he is ivory. let's imagine the shanghai communicate a was issue. the in 1972 during president mix those visits or china in which the united states officially accepted that there was one china and the time one was of china. since then, china has not made any move to use force against i wanna now,

when china then comes of ways these massive military packages, this $9000000000.00, i mean, they see that what the united states is doing and i want is what it was doing in ukraine, leading up to 2022. it kept pouring in arms and military rising. the place to the point at which rush it was said, well, we can't allow this is to go on but much longer because it's endangering all russian nationals or millions of russian nationals in ukraine. if they make a move against them, there's going to be very much we can do about it. sure, all a total was, and i think that's the case that with china as well because china has drawn a line in the sand and said, well, if i won the glass independence back will be a cost was barely, then we would use force. well, the more you put in arms into taiwanda, more likely it is at the some point i want will declare a defendant to say, hey,

do your best. because look at how well we are all the poor people in strategy. and there's another part to that right? what we saw in ukraine, for example, heck, what we've seen and all over the world every everywhere from uh, something to me, go to, you know, uh, parts of latin america and places like, uh, guatemala. the key is to find some people within whatever country you want to change the order in and find a minority group or a separate this group or somebody whether they are actually already there. and then you blow them up or you create them through the c. i a and then you blow them up and then you get those folks to start having demonstrations and then you start having product as that before you. busy somehow they end up with some guns and then suddenly there's violence on the street and before you know, and you're close to having, what is a perfect civil war in that country, which has been fed by our government. and it wouldn't surprise me if china doesn't

think the sons of guns are trying to do the same thing. they've done all over the world, and they just didn't ukraine in that fashion. inside taiwan, you say what? a? yeah, no question. that's exactly what us nato strategy has been, which is you go to the country, is that a deeply divided there? i get a serious, serious fracture lines in the country, and then you essentially back one faction against another was sooner or later, it's going to explode. so it was, you know, that here was ukraine. ukraine was a sorry, divided country when you was very divided, you have the east, which was where your russian and oriented was roughly, you had the west, you know, the lot of polls. there was this kind of an antagonistic towards russia. so what did the united states in nature, do they moved in and back one faction? mm hm. well, when you back one, and then the other faction was saying, well, we don't want any positive because uh, you know, you've listened to the back page,

hop, the country that we really don't get on with any level here. we don't want to give a, be a problem. it's because this was executive strategy, the united states and nato pursued in yugoslavia. it's the during the 19 ninety's when he crushed was up and kinds of nationalism including supporting terrorism. and then of course they, they still back and say, hey, look, it's exploded. we now need to, in intervene to rectify the mess that we made. and of course, i would record 30 years on there as bad as they always were. that's in the united states, mostly doing it in georgia as well. no less and less than and, and, you know, but i think they've done it in latin america columbia. they did it in for rule. they did it recently in bolivia. they did it. and as i mentioned in guatemala, obviously they did it in cuba. they did it in the dominican republic. uh,

they did it in a rough, it's like we said, we wouldn't be here all day and we were going to name all the times of this. and what's funny is, we're living at the time now with the united states seems to be very, so for rated, and we need to guard against that. but how sad it would be if someone did that to us. because right now we are a divided country, and yet i know, you know, most smart americans know that we have done that around the world and hopefully we don't do it in china to the point we're trying to get. so brussel, but they start maybe some kind of conflagration there, which could result in world war 3. let's just be honest about it, george. let's do this. i'm going to take a break. when we come back, i want to ask you about this guy johnson. i mean, i am just, i, i don't even know what to say about the things this guy has been doing lately. and i'm taking a back and, and, and i want to get your sense of it. uh, his saying he makes foreign policy decisions based on the readings is going to

scroll and humiliate students who are protesting says they have no right to say mean games will be right back the least return to the russian states. never as tight as i'm sort of the most sense community best in most all sense and up to 5 must be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz full neck,

even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the fitness center for the question, did you say a request such as a united states trying to impose sanctions on russia. that's the best thing the that could have happened to russia because the sanctions on russia, against agriculture, against the other items to o, made russia fetus produce that song. so as on agriculture and now, so the major growth export are no longer dependence on the united states and europe the

and go back to direct impact on re sanchez. by the way, i was just talking to george about the, the situation in latin america and liquid pops up. we've got some video coming in. these are scenes from the streets of bolivia. look at this, the, so apparently what's going on here. once again, in bolivia, hundreds of teachers took to the streets of a positive protesting against forced retirement. the teachers also demanded the government of president luis, our se, allocate more money to their increased class hours. seems routine butler don't be surprised if there is a story behind the story here. in other words, the us, as i was just discussing a little while ago with george, our leaders, not our country. we're good people, they're not. they have had a history of interfering a lot in america. bolivia, specifically,

sources inside the country have revealed that in 2019 the us assisted in the removal of the democratically elected president even wrote morales morales was overthrown by the military helped by the c i. despite the fact that he had loved the bolivian economy to incredible record heights, i mean, morales was the country's 1st indigenous president. his government was able to reduce property by 42 percent extreme poverty by 60 percent. the november cool was led by the country's leads, seeking to revert state power to the people who and monopolized it before. morales is election in 2005, and guess who helped them do that. you guess that you only get one guess and you're right. we did state department, the c i a we didn't like the guy even though the people liked them, even though he was doing well. and we decided to do exactly with george suggest we're kind of doing right now in china, but i'm going to move away from that for

a minute because i don't want to run out of time without giving you an opportunity to speak to our speaker of the house, a gentleman from louisiana named mike johnson. the things he has said and done lately have even chuck probably, you know, george as well. um, you know, he hasn't really sharply. i mean like the, his, um uh, staggering incompetence is possible. the calls for uh, republicans sir, let's think of a, his immediate, pri, this, as a nancy below c, she relentlessly pursued a democratic party agenda. she has a majority as small as johnson's you, who's that dining majority of doing that. a democratic party agenda. now let's see what john johnson has just signed off on every single part of bikers agenda that

25000000000 is everything. it's a, a wish list for all the, by the ministration. you think you have a bike is of the different policy. why you helping you the president of the different bobby, you know, election up in him essentially enact is the agenda that 9x5b6x1b. so you say that it is rel, i'm building a but i want and then of course, the ticket on it and, and everything else through it is, is bizarre. and then he goes to columbia, which you're getting is really quite bizarre because, you know, if you're a republican, the, you know, you're in something the god liberals. and once i do the liberals on the other, they don't show that at columbia. you know, you've got the liberal zine. yes. one side, and then you've got the gun. a woke supporters of the uh,

for the palestinians. okay. by the way, for the benefit of our viewers for the hold on for the review with georgia talking about columbia university. not columbia in the country, but continue to columbia university. exactly. so you say, okay, it's, it's an intramural flight. it's hosting the democrats. i mean, the republicans knowing how, how it's incumbent that they usually are in elections. this is a god's sense, you know, has been finding out, don't get yourself involved, but instead he goes that he becomes the object of hatred, is stopped issuing threats with the suggestion. now, is the government cutting off all kinds of phones from colombia in the budget? that's a serious business. i mean, all of the i, yeah, universe just depends on government drugs. i mean, you know, you got the national science foundation, defensive going, but the national institute of health sciences centers for disease control, they give a lot of money to universities. i think based off they don't, they think universities, barges are going to close down, you know,

basketball court. so just what do we just think of the principle of what he's saying? he's saying that in america as a government official, he doesn't like what people are saying, not because what there's, by the way, i don't necessarily agree with what the port testers are saying, but they have a right to say it. people have happened to be cuban. people have a right to say, i don't like cubans, they have a right to say which enters. i can't stand you. i hit your sho, george. i don't like you. i don't like your people. i don't like where you come from. i don't like your parents. i have a right to say all of those things. is it smart? is it nice? is it kind? know what it doesn't matter. you still have a right to save it. i don't want people to cut his eyes, jews, i don't want people to cut his eyes, anybody. but the fact that he's going there and saying you can say these things about this group of people. my god, that sounds auto american is how it is on the cell and it goes to it what, what's happening here is the unfortunate phenomenon,

which is that criticism of his ro, oscar, this is what it is ro which much of it, it is a, is being confounded with something different, which isn't the same. it says, yeah, so the 2 usually used interchangeably. whereas it's quite clear that all of these universities, the, the protest i protest director that is relevant. but israel is doing right now in gaza. but instead, when you listen to johnson and you listen to many of the politicians to everybody else, of course the media is i'm just gonna think jews feel threatened. there's no evidence whatsoever. the any jewish students are threatened, there's no that was being sent out. if you're a jewish student and you all waving these re the flag, the jobs is that the bill will be boy raised against you. but that's a separate issue of the idea that your jury student. yeah jo, it but suddenly you get beaten up. that's known. says that has not happened. there's no evidence that anything like that is that's good. yeah. look up, skokie, illinois, folks, for those of you watching us right now,

go and look up what happened in skokie, illinois, a decision that was made that essentially said, you can't do that kind of things that the speakers doing, but it looks like we're going somehow back in time and we didn't even get a chance to talk about his biblical readings, which caused him to have these foreign policy decisions. cuz we're out of time, but i'll get you back george, i'll get you back. thank you, george. something well a what, what a pleasure to talk to you. what an interesting turn of events this week, and we'll be looking for more discussion on that again before i go, i want to remind you of what we try to do here is i think you can tell we try to simply the silo the world, you know, i mean, think of things perhaps from another point of view, because we don't think troops should live in little boxes, whether the run by the state department or the c i a or anybody for that matter. i'm rick sanchez. i'll be looking for you again with direct impact the

the among the casualties as a result of israel's genocidal assault on causes included suspension of international humanitarian law but also free speech across the western world. perversely, being pro palestinian and pro peace is condemned. as pens i submitted,

the we've already impose sanctions on more than a 100 chinese entities, export controls, etc. and we're fully prepared to, to act take additional measures that black mailing in beijing, the us secretary of state, threatening china over its friendship and support of russia, saying if it continues uncle sam's sanctions all ready to surprise. definitely faces, criticism for pushing showed up talking to baby for miller and developing nation to offering healthy aversions to western market. all the green up, it's still buying. this thing sits in on our without any added sugar. while in the when the, the convention is refined to grounds on average and the product.
