and using sources never predict for necessary, a tops people were never gonna change your mind so people will never change their minds about video. they think i was wrong. and that's it. for everybody, 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, mark johnson. he gets booed 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? just i'm 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 the smile? did you notice the smirk on his face there?

uh, at the end. imagine, imagine the house mode 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 of them and to ridicule them. how does that seriously does that speak or the house mike johnson, that's who a man who like most of us politicians in this crazy system of ours is, 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 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 these 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 channels in support of terrorist. they have chase down jewish students, the mock them, and the revised them. they've shouted racial, that's epithets they've screamed at those who bear 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 he's doing is you're going to take it away from them. as in fact he may, is he suggesting that's freeze pages is 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 as an inalienable right. right. it's guaranteed to us as human beings are. 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 us 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 think 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 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. and so 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 to go out much to watch. did you hear when he just said, let me hear it again. the biblical admonition is staying with his ro, we will and, and they will prevail. it's a bit biblical admonition and 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 them, but think especially may cause 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 same 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. 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 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 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 you know, american immigrants, or hispanic immigrants who are americans. and 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 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, 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 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 ask him, look, we should probably know out of decency and diplomatic protocol,

chinese did not meet the secretary of state. the way the speaker was met with the news, right. like we saw in columbia university. i mean, those are students, though the chinese probably thought about it. and 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 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 the soon after you saw blinking arrived there, they released this statement saying and no on certain terms of china does not appreciate the meddling in their affairs when it comes to taiwan. here it is, or hello and teach initial jungle and make the taiwan issue is china's internal affair, 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 and the us. and since a wrong signal to the separate is forces in taiwan. we are formally 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 only joining us now to talk about this is george us. some really is research of the 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 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 cannot 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 there's, if he is okay, let's imagine the shanghai community was issue. the in 1972 during present mix those visit there, china, in which the united states especially 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 one. 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 in taiwan 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 at which rush it was said, well we comp allow us 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 short all of a total work. 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 want declare his independence back, will be a cost was bailey, then we would use force. well, the more you put in arms into taiwanda, more likely it is at the some point. so i want will declare a defendant to say, hey, do your best. because look at how well we are echo the poor coupon and strategy. and there's another part to that, right? what we saw in the ukraine, for example. heck, what we've seen and all over the world with every everywhere from santa 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 load 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, 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? and 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 series 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 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 once and say, well, we don't want any positive because uh, you know, you've listened to the back pain, a 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 they, to this, you in, you this lobby. it's a, 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 old. things are bad as they always were. that's in the united states, mostly doing it in georgia as well. yeah. 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 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 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 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 united states try new 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 made russia fetus hurting samsung. so as on agriculture and now, so the major growth export are no longer defendants on the united states and europe . the not sure come on this as they didn't know, showing a good this things for me. what's going on with me is the non smoker in your mind store enough to monday. so stuff with interested in show eric, i buy it the more swaying, 37 years dog drive. chillik along with one of our that's not i was microsoft. of course the trailer span that we could buy them so i didn't want to buy. right. mm hm. yeah for. 2 much that's what i want to

move over here, but it now is particularly that group didn't come around quite inflate them over the place. crazy. nice not aggressive. is it? absolutely. i'd rather solution an issue with the much just isn't good that the so thinking we will send you the wrong. i'm pretty good. feel understood where so what i'll send you when you are still at the trip with us. what do you mean by speeds? they're still going yes, sort of 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 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 la pas are 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. it if there's 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 helped by the c. i a, 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 led by the countries that 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 guessed it, 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 him, 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 breed as, as a nancy below c, she relentlessly pursued a democratic party agenda. she have 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

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 have the president of the different bobby, you know my election up in him essentially enact is agenda that 9x5b6x1b. so you say that it is rel, i'm dealing of what i want. and then of course the ticket on it 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, the, you know, you're in spring be got the liberals. and once i do the liberals on the other, they don't show that at columbia. you know, you've got the liberal design. 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 to hold off for the benefit of here at 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 the whole thing. the democrats, i mean, the republicans knowing how, how it's incumbent that they usually are in elections. this is a godsend. you know, has been finding out, don't get yourself involved. but he said he goes that he becomes the object of hatred. he starts issuing threats with the suggestion. now is the government cutting off all kinds of phones from colombia in the bus, and that's a serious business. i mean, all of the i, yeah, university just depends on government drives. i mean, you know, you got the national science foundation, defensive going, but the national institute of helps is sentenced with disease control. they give a lot of money to universities, i think, based off the donating 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 haven't, i happened to be cuban. people have a right to say, i don't like cubans, they have a right to say work sanchez, 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? 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't say these things about this group of people. my god, that sounds auto american is how it is on the cell and it goes what, what's happening here is an unfortunate phenomenon, which is that criticism of his ro, oscar,

this is what it is ro which much of it is a, is being confounded with something different which isn't the same, it says um, yeah, so the 2 usually used interchangeably. whereas it's quite clear that in all of these universities the, the protest off product as director that is relevant but is rarely is doing right now in gaza. but instead, when you listen to johnson and you listen to many of the politicians to him or everybody else, of course the media is committed, juice feels threatened. there's no evidence whatsoever. the, any jewish students, all threatens as no that was being friends. now, if you're a jewess student and you come waving these ready 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 beat. not that's nonsense. that has not happened. there's no evidence that anything like this. 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. some well 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 they're 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,

[000:00:00;00] the year when i 1st moved to rush i, one of the most amazing things i found was to moscow metro. in fact, at the very 1st phrase that i ever learned enough and was careful to closing.

so what makes this place so specially what secrets is of hiding to find out deep under the city with alexander pop on even historians who studies the wonders of the moscow metro on february 25th 2024. a young, active duty airman, by the name of erin bush, now it's something both heroic and horrible. he went to the is really embassy in washington. said that as a member of the u. s. air force, he could not be party to a genocide against the palestinian people. doused himself with kerosene and set himself on fire. he shouted free palestine 5 times until finally collapsing. he died later at a washington dc hospital. he was only 25 years old. aaron bush knows death was no simple suicide. it was a bold political statement. but the question is whether anybody in washington will
