2:30 am
or a mr. a transatlantic thank age. that's the illusion right there. set the tone. so this whole speech that he gave, the french president returned to the saw button university in paris on thursday to give this address on the theme of europe. take a stock of where europe sat as it anyone in charge actually he knows where they're at. and even if they did, they would really want to admit it because it's probably not gonna be too popular right now. and there's a european election coming up and the populace are searching in the polls right now . so i guess my call feels the need to address your up here in front of mr. victor or bon recently just called for a bowl. those a of the whole mess who invest the read about it should be like a progressive liberal year old spirit as it is, has failed. it is brought wars, chaos and unrest, collapsing economies and confusion into the world. they say that there needs to be a hedge. mine is an ideological control under whom and under which everyone must set order to come. and if that happens, they say type in peace will come back home and then peace will come to the world as
2:31 am
well. i want to say, my dear friends, here's the unreturnable opportunity to replace the decaying progressive liberal world spirit with another world spirit who felt us off the road. or the 1st step to recovery is generally emitting that there's a problem the 1st place, but not calling parents. he feels compelled to do the exact opposite of that and talk about all of your failures as though they're reading successes. like, for example, in the field of counter terrorism, which has made such a great progress. that frances back on the highest alert level and barely seems to have moved away from it with a care of warning signs. turning yellow on bill days that they've been off. so long, we talked about europe looking towards africa. well, i guess it certainly turn has and made france look when fresh troops are being dropped, kicked out across the mediterranean, by african countries after christ ability emissions result in a cruise which are kind of the opposite of stability. the head of new jazz transition, government sounds like he's actually going to leave nicole a google or yelp review of the whole is periods services. do you know what my
2:32 am
chrome reply to this sort of deal this country? new jersey does not belong to you. then you share belongs to france, and it's not up to you to suggest any solution. it's, i'm a chrome, the economics of history kind of because he didn't know that while they were having their revolution, we had already circumnavigated the will to clearly not deterred by discrepancies between reality and fantasy macro and speech. also celebrated europe addressing the migration challenge, which they basically paid to outsource to countries like turkey to these mauritania and he jet, which last i checked weren't actually in girl, but they've outsourced everything else by this point. so why not that too? right. macklin talked about europe meeting the ecological transition as to farmers in europe, street jacketed by european climate change, did tasks with the farmland be spied on by european satellites to ensure compliance . how great that is brought up, europe's energy sovereignty and re industrialization was not so that's about
2:33 am
germany. in particular, it's still busy the industrialized thing. so they're not quite on the other side of that. yeah. all the yeah, has become more dependent on price here. american liquefied natural gas. oh, and francis own ellen, g imports from russia are now up 75 percent in the 1st few months of this year compared to a year ago. so i guess my goal figures that people are so stupid that if he just says something enough times like in the speech, they'll just simply accept it all as objective reality. all that outside of this is i'm next door and rick sanchez on our end inputting sound will be back of the top of them. why for now? the fire 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,
2:34 am
mike johnson. he gets boomed by students at columbia university trip on number 2. johnson goes on to lecture those students accuse. i'm try to humiliate them. they are protesters who are calling for a cease fire. did they deserve that group? i'm number 3. you a secretary state and they 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
2:35 am
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 the smile? did you notice the smirk on his face there at the end? and 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.
2:36 am
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 paid 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, the statement almost sounds like it's written by v as really war cabinet. as the, as it tells the students what you basically is looking at them and saying, you're all terrible, terrible people here, listen. the chairs,
2:37 am
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 channels in support of terrorist. they've chase down jewish students, the mock them and the reviled them. they've shouted racial ethnic epithets they have screened at those to be or they're 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. as in fact he
2:38 am
may, is he suggesting that's freeze pages? 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, but you as constitution guarantees, i felt like some politician go somewhere and say you better be careful. you like what you're doing because i can take that away from you. what's it doing? i mean, i'm sorry, but when i watch this as an american, i was just so i was actually angry and wondering what the hell is going on here. i
2:39 am
can help but ask myself if, as i watched this moment, i'm not looking into the future and seeing what a us religious the accuracy is going to look like at some point. i mean look i, i happen 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, don't that's not my take on it. he said it appeared as the biblical admonition to stand with his ro, we will and, and they will prevail. it's a big the go out, much to watch. did you hear when he just said,
2:40 am
let me hear it again to biblical ammunition, to stand with israel, 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 lived here in the united states. and so when we hear that, we can think of how hypocritical this is coming from
2:41 am
a man who has 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 his ugly words. we all have right to ugly words. but it's because of his ugly words in part. these folks from mexico and other immigrants, or as he would call them all 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 a fact. go look at any of paul 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 pro 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
2:42 am
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 of state anthony blanket, who flies around the world telling other countries what they must do, what they must do. it's as if, as easy is it,
2:43 am
the rest of the world exist only at the pleasure of what he and president biden mandate at any given time. speaking of the president, as we watch blinking, arriving in china in the place of president biden. it's kind of 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 asking, look, when we should probably know, out of decency and diplomatic protocol, the chinese did not meet the secretary of state the way the speaker was about with the news, 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 incensed by what the secretary of state blinking has just pushed through congress
2:44 am
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 china, right, you are china. that has to be hauling, right? because as they see it, 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 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 going to change. you don't want me to type on
2:45 am
issue as time has internal affairs, which tolerates no external interference. the insertion 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 in taiwan. we're formerly opposed to it. we urge the us side to honor his commitment of not supporting taiwan independence with concrete actions and stop arming taiwan in any way want. joining us now to talk about this is george us. some really is a research. busy fellow at the global policy institute and the author of the book, bombs 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
2:46 am
big enough and do well enough alone. and suddenly, soon after they say that here comes china or russia or iran. and so it's 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 rick, 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 that as he is. okay, let's imagine shanghai communicate a was issued in 1972 during president nixon's visit there. china, in which the united states officially accepted that there was one china and the time one was a box of china. since then,
2:47 am
china has not made any move to use force against i one. now, when china then comes of weights, these massive military packages, that's $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 boring in alms, um and uh, military rising, the place to the point in which rupture was said, well, we can't allow this to go on, but much longer because it's endangering our russian nationals are millions of russian nationals in ukraine. if they make a move against them, there's not 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,
2:48 am
the more you you put in arms into taiwanda, more likely it is. at some point i want will declare independence. a say, hey, do your best? because look at how well we are. echo the pool coupon strategy. and there's another part to that, right? but what we saw in ukraine, for example, heck, what we've seen and all over the world with every everywhere from uh, central me go to, you know, uh, parts of latin america in 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 below 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 front desk them before you know, and somehow they end up with some guns and then suddenly there's violence on the street. and before you know what you're close to having,
2:49 am
what is the 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. busy over the world, and they just didn't ukraine in that fashion. inside. i want you say what? 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 are, you know, uh, 6 areas 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, the people here was ukraine. ukraine was a very divided country when you was right, divide that you have the east, which was where your russian and oriented will drop ship. you had the west, you know, the lot of polls that was, is kind of an antagonistic towards russia. so what did the united states and nato do? they moved in and back one faction. mm hm. well, when you back one,
2:50 am
and then the other faction ones say, well, we don't want any positive because uh, you know, you present to the back page. aha, the country that we really don't get on with any level here. we don't want to be able to be a positive. it's because this was exactly the strategy that united states and nato pursued in yugoslavia. it's a, it's the, during the night ninety's, when he crushed was certain 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've made. and of course, i haven't reckon 30 years on things 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, they've done it in latin america, columbia. they did it in for rule. they did it recently in bolivia,
2:51 am
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 row. 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 a time now with the united states. seems to be very separated 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. i'm taking a back and, and, and i want to get your sense of it. uh,
2:52 am
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 danes will be right back the the, the, and welcome back to direct impact on re sanchez by the way i was just talking to george about the situation in latin america and look what pops up. we've got some video coming in. these are scenes from the streets of bolivia. look at this, the
2:53 am
fairly what's going on here. once again, in bolivia, hundreds of teachers took to the streets of la 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, evo morales. morales was overthrown by the military to help by the see i, despite the fact that he had let the bolivian economy do 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
2:54 am
led by the country's leads, seeking to revert state power to the people who would monopolize that 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 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, to george. well, um, you know, he hasn't really sharply. i mean like the he is, um, uh,
2:55 am
staggering incompetence is possible. the calls for uh, republicans, sir, let's think of a, his immediate breed as, as a nancy below say, 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 body agenda. now let's see what john johnson has just signed off on every single part of by whose agenda that's 25000000000 is everything. it's an 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, the election up in the new him bench. the impact is agenda that 95000000000. 61000000000. so you think about it for israel
2:56 am
a i'm dealing with what i want. and then of course, the ticket on it and, and everything else. so 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, you know, you're in something the god liberals. and once i do the liberals on the other, they don't show that as columbia, you know, you've got the liberal design. yes. one side. and then you've got the kind of woke supporters of the palestinians. and by the way, for the benefit of our viewers to hold off for the benefit of our viewers, georgia, talking about columbia university, not columbia of the country, but continue to columbia. the us. exactly. so you say, okay, it's, it's an intramural flight, it's hurting the democrats. i mean, the republicans knowing how, how it's gone. but then they usually are the elections. this is a godsend. you know, have them find, you know, don't get yourself involved. but instead he goes, there, he becomes the object of hatred,
2:57 am
his thoughts 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 depend on government drugs. i mean, you know, you got the national science foundation defense have gone to the national institute of health sciences centers for disease control. they give a lot of money to universities. i think based off the donated universities largest 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 that 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 want your people. i don't like where you come
2:58 am
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? no, 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 the criticism of israel male oscar, this is what it is, right? which much we did. this is being compounded with something different, which isn't the same. it is. yeah. so the 2 usually used interchangeably. whereas it's quite clear that in all of these universities the, the protest i protest direct to the israel of 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 design,
2:59 am
just me think jews feel threatened. there's no evidence whatsoever. the, any jewish students, all threatened as no that was being said. now if you're a jewish student and you've come waving these re the flag, the jobs is that the bill will be voice raise against you. but that's a separate issue of the idea that your jewish student. yeah. jo. it but suddenly you get beaten up. that's nonsense. that has not happened. there's no evidence that anything like that. it's not skipped. 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 causes 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,
3:00 am
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 they're run by the state department or the c. i a. all right, buddy for that matter. i'm rick sanchez. i'll be looking for you again with direct impact the, the we urge the united states not to interfere in china's internal affairs. i love to step on china's red lines on our sovereignty side as far as the issue is that one of the us secretary of state, i'm to the blinking jury and review and they, they would work within 5 major world files. me. while i didn't say video my just the whole thing to show the kind of thing president calling for the fact against china.
