the huge round dance of people familiar with the world. the system is just beginning right behind me. it's gonna include the russian song song in the traditional hospitals and their traditional forms. so we're going to go participate the one of the people here in southern russia. it's a place where people from all different countries, russian, traditional, one, you figure behind me a call the it was amazing to be part of this. yeah. you're no wonder rollers, i'm no,

i was reading this and i was right there. and i know this don seems the enjoy it a lot. and like i bought that had loved the dogs and the music movie. i really enjoyed the lot that i liked it to be here together and to try to finish something together. in russia, by itself is a multinational country with many different traditions and cultures, but with over 180 other countries around the world participating. here at the world youth festival russians become a place for the entire world can celebrate diversity, and have fun, donald quarter r t, southern russia. a lot of times that i know i can say what can be thought. so we will sign off uh from las vegas to the south. we are heading stateside now or rick sanchez on the direct impact is coming up next. enjoy the

everybody. i'm rick sanchez. and i'm here to tell you that after being a journalist and it is presented for, for the biggest television networks in the united states, it's time for some context and for some truth that like an in that vein. here's what we're going to be talking about today. number one, why is the supreme court saying, donald trump must be on all the ballots in the united states? number 2, why didn't do it? why did his kid hulu classified us more documents and just got 16 years in prison? why did they do it? and number 3, president of the united states now says he's a big fan of people who criticize the government. who's he talking about? are you ready? this is direct impact. the

finally, it's in the decision as to whether donald trump can be excluded pushed out from the ballots. in some states is in, and we've learned that it was a 9 to nothing decision ruling that donald trump can be on. the ballad in colorado and other states, eastern justices during the oral argument, seemed very skeptical of the idea that one state could decide for the nation whether donald trump was an insurrection to us and was therefore disqualified under this 150 year old provision. so so, so let me take you through it a little bit. so what the court is saying essentially, is that if the president is to be excluded from for past actions, from an election, no matter how bad those action may be or may not be, it should not be up to the states. you're saying it should be up to congress to make a national decision like that, you know what? probably right. because imagine what would happen if democratic states or

republican states in the future for that matter, got a chance to eliminate the other parties candidate that my friends would be a mass. let's talk about something else. now i wanna talk about young jack dix, sherif in massachusetts, air national guardsmen jet tech zera, pleading guilty in boston federal court today. the terms of his plea deal include 16 years in prison, prosecutor say the air man uses top secret security clearance to access highly classified intelligence about the war and ukraine and other conflicts that he shared in the chat group on the social media site. discord here, score. what's discord? it's a place where gamers hang out. most of them are kids like to share. i mean to see his picture and what he did was reckless and it was stupid. it was not an active journalism. what he did, nor did he do it because he was pro peace. he did it because of his ego. he wanted to show off. any of the court is cutting him

a break. are you thinking what i'm thinking? as i'm saying these words, shouldn't the government give a break to those who act on personal ethics and not ego? i say that by the way, because i'm a journalist and i believe if you share a valuable truth that should be taken into account. and then again, most people who do the news today don't agree with me here in the united states. but then again, most of them are not journalists seriously. in fact, many of them are former government shills who report only what the state department tells them to report. look, i'm not against the state department. okay. it's necessary. i just think a journalist is supposed to challenge those guys. not surely for them. take iraq war, for example, our government was cheered into that situation. right. which here and for them to go ahead and do the war and what do we get out of it, right. the creation of isis less, not more democracy and more terrorism. and to this day, those truths are not told on television here in america, in our country. in fact,

the idiots who plan that bore are invited on the new shows. you can you see them all the time to this day? they are invited and treated like their heroes. really, a showing for the government is easy. take scott's to tell the truth. take the case of julia massage. he told the truth about some horrible things that our government did em lied about in iraq and, and, and in afghanistan. and for that, he's been chased, tortured and are in prison for the better part of the last 12 years of his life. it's here now from our president, the president of the united states. here's job, i'd be bravely stood up to the corruption, the violence, and the all the, all the bad things if yes he did. you're right, mr. president, exactly that. joining us on reporting truthfully, on many bad things, and for that he had them arrested and prosecuted for fabricated crimes. he says in

the prison, just held him nice solutions. yep. all true. his life has been made a living hell. and yet assange assigned she never gave in even in prison, she was a powerful voice for the truth. all right, i got to apologize for you and, and there's a reason i'm apologizing right now. you see i was playing with you a little bit. there was a game i was playing with you to make this point in that speech. mr. biden is not referring to julian assault because the people who wrote that speech for him don't like a song. but you know, they do like they really like this guy name, alexi, know all me. and that's what president biden was praising. why? because he criticized not the us government. rather, the russian government before dying in the prison after being set and was born stream is in for criticizing vladimir put and by the way, i could spend his right to criticize bottom repub at that. and he did have his share of supporters in russia to be fair. that support was tiny, tiny,

compared to the support he gets in western countries as to who was doing the volunteer. right. he was in the, in a politician with motives tactics and an ideology which most of us here in the west . i've never really bothered to understand our government. a news media have a simple take on the volume. it goes something like this. she doesn't like put and therefore he must be great. it's that simple. oh, same western leaders wanted to of all need to be heard because they believed he was a truth color. fine. that's there, right? but it's, that's the case. wouldn't you also want the song to be heard as well? and if not, the comparison screams hypocrisy? no. there are some good news here by the way. this is new. that hypocrisy is becoming evident to a british high court. they are deciding now whether the extra tight is on back to the united states, where he would be punished even more severely. judges are asking some good,

common sense question. here's julia. so i'm just brother talking about this, saying that he was in court. he since has a little bit of a change with the judges, you know, making statements like, oh, so if julian is extra daughter, does that mean any journalist in the u. k. a could be extradited and the prosecution essentially had to answer. yes. so, um, you know, the judge is making these sorts of points i found quite interesting and in, in a different vibe here is a good question. why did it take 12 years to ask it? but why the continual attacks on us, on still doing only support the truth tellers if they criticize russia. but if they criticize our government, then we spect we disparage them like, well, like this. i would argue that it's closer to being the high tech terrorist. i saw just a narcissist who has created nothing of value. he relies on the dirty work of others to make himself famous. he has to answer for what he, how is it has done is this guy is a traitor,

a treasonous. i'm not for the death penalty, so if i'm not the only way to do it illegally shoot the son of a shoot. the son of a beep. shoot. the son of a mean, that's our government. and those who take orders from them in the media respond to a journalist who was arrested for publishing truth. let's say once again what they say about no, only this time this was put together by editors, colleagues at r t international to tell me what you think after watching this. now they're talking about the bombing alexi and the vall knee has been a brave leader who's stood up against corruption. and i'll talk or seeing he died for a quote, which he dedicated his whole life freedom. the world has lost a freedom fighter in alex a. nobody was a reminder of extraordinary brutality and his government quite a different so i want to close with the quote. i think it fits this case where we embrace only those things that are part of our team,

even if they're wrong and we hate whatever is offered by the other team, even if they're right. the quote comes from a fellow cube, and interestingly enough, her name is a nice name. she moved to france from havana in the early 19 hundreds and there she became a famous novelist. and here is her quote, she says, or writes, we don't see things as they are. we see things as we are cast, see, male, that's all right. is she right? we only see things from our own painted perspectives, most of the time. and what does it say about our government? that is what i'm going to be asking our guest. after we take this break, we will be joined by legal and minneapolis. lionel, don't go what the

what else? they just don't you have to see power and engagement trails. when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look so common ground the the

on the all right, here we go. i want to welcome you back from wherever it is in the world that you're watching us right now. we're joined by the line old. he's a legal and a media analyst, and i figure this is like throwing red meat is a guy like line. well this, this, this type of just story filled with so many twists, sterns and true iron in hypocrisy. i want to read you that quote, that, that, that, that was written by a cuban author, interestingly enough to live most of our lives in france died. i think of 1977 and a nice and in rides. we don't see things as they are. we see things as we are. is it really what this comes down to? is it a universal problem, or is there something about us lately as a government that makes us more guilty of that than others? well, rick, a couple of things here. let's go back to some rudiments. um the, the,

the, the only thing i know as a, as a lawyer and somebody who follows by the way this, this is my religion. this is my bible, this is the constitution. and that's all i know. and i let other people decide whether the volunteer was a here or whether massage or to hear of i don't really care for purposes of this, but i will tell you this in the year 2001, the supreme court dealt with an issue. and a case called parts nicky against the hopper to and it came to deal with a, with a talk show host, a radio station who became a, who became in possession of a conversation that was illegally paved. yeah, there was a wire type violation. somebody took it from the labor, it doesn't really matter. so you have somebody who is a media person who comes into contact with something that was stolen, but it's news weren't sound familiar. okay. so he published a broadcast. the question was, is he absolved from any kind of liability? is there a 1st amendment right? first amendment?

that's why they call it 1st the 1st member, right? that he enjoyed by publishing something which would be illegal if he did it. mm hm . but wasn't there somebody else in the supreme court said, absolutely, he is protected by the 1st time in daniel ellsberg. what is that all about that sound papers? yeah, daniel ellsberg unconvinced, violated all kinds of was when he went a new copy from the reading corporation. and i read you talking about something which is very important. and it's, it's funny. the notion of a reporter, what we're seeing today is we have media proxy is they are re, peters, not reporters. they're actually, they're, they're, they're out board representatives of the government. yeah. the that because this is my turn now, and this is what i've spent my life doing. the vast majority of them do not have journalism degrees, the vast majority of them and i can name them, but i want them barracks. them have never covered a story. i've never actually been a reporter on the street. so this is like going to a hospital and

a doctor watching to your office and you say, do you have a medical degree? and he says, no, but, you know, i think i could probably do this. that's what's going on with journalism today. they hire people because they're pretty or because they're whatever connected or because they're willing to take a lot of money to tell things that are true. well, obviously people are higher because they're pretty and i and that's about me. but here's the story. know, rick, the thing is, is that i, i don't differ with you, but i want to qualify something. roger ailes one time was ask the question, should journalist be license? and he said you only need a license to come here. now, there are people who, by the way, rick, who, one day may be outside and there is a fire and they have a phone and they pick their phone up and they take a picture of it and they publish it. and i think they were a journalist, i think the report and i think they are as valid as, as anybody else for that matter. as walter cronkite, they may not be as skilled. so in today's new platform,

citizen civilian alternative, journalist, people who have opinions. and i think are under the protection of this, however, when you're up at the upper echelons the leaves of cnn and others i, i listen very carefully to what you're saying because there's one thing to be a bureau chief. there's nothing to worry about. the wait a minute, i'm going to take, i'm going, i'm going to push back on you on that. i'm not saying there's anything wrong with being someone who doesn't have a journalism degree. for example, if you've practiced your craft and excel data, there are a great journalists who don't have a home on these channels because they can't, they won't hire them because they're truth tellers. so yes, there are places where people on the alternative news locations these days can be skilled, can have a following, and should have a following. but they still have to be able to practice their craft in such a way so that they're doing it correctly. i don't want the guy who shows up at your back back yard barbecue has too much to drink and discharge of painting all kinds

of crazy stuff to say, oh yeah, that's the guy i want to listen to every day on the radio. now that's a hold of the i'm going to push back. now i'm going to push back again on that. i would the individuals decide whether that i, i may tend to agree with you. but i don't want to see or suggest who is valid and who is not the most it with the constitution. in this particular case, let me give an example of something i love this. i love rick the way well, you know, of, for the a not for me. joining us. joining us on is for all practical purposes. he's like the jose, but the who is the individual who was arrested in chicago, an american citizen who was, who was the 1st enemy combatant, that was just forgotten and basically went mad, you know, present. now we had a fellow named gonzalo laira. you may not agree with this, but i believe it is that old era, who was a journalist? yeah, he did a youtube general that was in. he was in your brain. yes. i basically from what i want from what we understood and he was killed me or died for like navarre

lee, a identical with somebody that many of us liked or whatever. he wasn't an agent. i don't think he was called, i love the way these a poor fall. so what was that story? the oh, you raise a great point. well, i know you've got one right. where was that? and i'm not even know i did the journalist where, where was that story? where was the united states government standing behind one of its citizens. a journal is known as a us citizen. well, what do you agree? and i mean, it was filing stories, but it was a, let's get government didn't like. and one day he mysteriously disappeared after being detained, movement taken to a hospital. where's the address? uh, and also speaking with the state department, it is their number one, the, the only reason they are in power is not to do negotiation with the president basically is to act as a liaison for us citizens abroad and the like. well, let me also give you something which is important,

which is also critical. you know, this idea of, of how some people are allowed. some people are ok and some people aren't. that's the thing i find so interesting. nobody cares about that. let me throw another one at you just with just the way why? pushing back on both. i'm telling you right now and, and, and i'm telling you that most of the people at cnn feel like they have to say things or promote a certain message, because they work in cnn. and many of those may or may not be journalists. there are also people in the alternative news community who are very good and i respect them and they don't work for one of those places. but i think there should be a general agreement as to who in society is a b s artist. and who actually has something interesting to say, we are allowed as a glass diety to come to those conclusions. we don't have them arrested, but i'm allowed to have my opinion. well, put it this way. if we could have

a graphic b s artist, i would be honored if you could put a lower 3rd for me and have it in the file. let me give it another one to rick. this is something which i still find amazing. on january the 6, there were a number of americans, a lot of them are red tag wearing cavities. one guy with an eye patch, one guy with the uh, you know, the carry helmet, whatever it was, who, who, who were a lead. you'd to have been able to over throw the government, the 2nd airborne in the 1st marine division, this guy with a pot belly and a guy just been flag. all right. some of these people rec, serve more time in prison and child molesters. now i'm using, that's fair, that's okay. that to me was absolutely a violation of the 1st amendment to to, to meet now somewhere it guilty of trespass and a variety of things. and that's another story. yeah. yeah. but so learn more about what we're talking about here. let's bring it back to where we started the conversation. there is a extreme double standard when it comes to our government and it's outside of

politics. it's, it's not democrats versus republicans. there's, there's not biden versus trump, this is really about the underpinnings of what i think is happening in our government today. where the power of the state, the state department, those forces that make mores more of them lately than i've ever seen before in my life time seemed to have of a certain control over the messaging that we receive and match rory. oh was the legend. there was a time i, i don't when i was in talk radio and i was a w, a, b, c. and i work with vice. remember there was a time when bill clinton was on air force one. he says, do we think that we want to bring the fairness doctor back? he says it can't. can we get a democratic talk, joe hoses favorite. it's like, it was different than let me throw one more at the because i see this is a big i love the way they say one guy is a political prisoner. other guy is, i mean, they're identical. there was a case recently of this, aaron bush, now this the airman who cool, so emulated in front of the is rarely a, don't know it very well embassy. yeah. okay. now what did they say on ship on,

on nbc? he's a not an angry and mitchell as they ended her spotwood. and if you know somebody who is suffering from suicidal, ideations called or something. okay, i didn't, i really good you straight really? that big i yeah. wow. and 19601963. remember the monkey? i know very well. yes. the best picture picture of of the what we said. what else? spirit. what if bobby sand and the hunger strikers? i have. this is incredible, but this guy because he's taking the wrong side, is not you see one man's terrorist demand freedom site, but we do the and we do that especially, and i'm not the, i'm not here to promote, you know, russian politics or no volunteer, potent or anybody else for that matter? that's not my job. i'm a journalist, but it does seem like we take certain countries that we decide we need to be in tag a mistake with. and we're going to put our i are, and it's a rod and it's rush on, it's china and it's been as well. and, and,

and i'm not here to defend any one of those or put them down, but don't all know. but i, as we remember, and in particular you are i, i'm a native for really and 2nd generation and i remember cube, i mean i'm not human, but all my friends, everybody i mean and from, from tampa. and i remember, i mean, there's just at the height of the cold war, i live where we're sun. com is mcgill air force base duck and cover. and i remember of, of new bars and natasha russo fully a car wash and throughout history everything from i will destroy you to cruise japanese these doors crazy, evolve, evolve, and buyer. i swear to you. so if put it this way, if we redid colombo with the in, in our age, the 1st thing would be boating that at the port back on you there as well. because we came to a time is then when phil donahue interviewed president of on his show,

where ted koppel wouldn't literally invite a russian correspondence or reporter on his show when we shared ballet. when we shared projects up in space, there was a time when, even with the soviet union, there was an a bridging that took place. now is it, it's just the opposite. it was, i would argue almost. it was better than in terms of understanding of part of the thing to have relations. and by the way you've, you've said at least 5 times you're pushing back and you're not at all. i agree with you. okay. another one. tucker car tucker carlson. just interview potent ok. there was, there was a scene a while back. let's go back in time. mike wallace was sitting on the floor with i had told a whole menus. is that if i do please, i think there's a wrong way for people. then you're crazy. that's got to know how to do all the home anyway. these people know that was no problem. barbara walters, interviewed kira castro and go down the list where we changed. interviewed chavez, you name it. but the thing is, is that, look at the castro i interviewed garbage of, i interviewed

a bunch of people who are supposed noriega and present no less. so throughout my career seems like i didn't do it back, but we don't really have to go to drive today. no, i don't get you pushed back, but more importantly push that i like it will send you an honorary coupon or how's that? i'm going to give you that title and you can wear it with pride. that's line ladies and gentlemen. thanks a lot on we're out of time, but thanks for being our friend today. great comments, great conversation. before i go, i want to remind you of our mission. i mentioned just a little while ago where i do believe it's really important that we've decided all the world. gotta stop living in these little boxes as we saw in this newscast, to so live in boxes. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact the

with the discovery of the new world. at the end of the 15 center, there appeared atlantics, slave gray. the slave traders from european countries started building for its on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america, to be forest, the hard labor. until the middle of the 17th century, portugal had laid the main role in this and processed business in great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership for this fan of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america,

there were 5 who died while captured during transportation and cruel obliteration of rebellion. this roof was the full tre practice by the leading european countries, took away tens of millions of african lives. the organization of united nations classifies the trends atlantics, the laved raid, as one of the greatest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. this is the biggest act of deportation of people ever seen by mankind. the little bit away. but most of the initial issue, a lot of patients, you'll still have like a special going to younger civilian motor pulse. yep. you're good. i agree. then chatting with them. awesome. it's over the hands of showing shootings on our settlement. we have some sort of forward and i'm wondering if somebody wants to split that are starting as low as what i should wish. one of those recently me know

to the most useful to them 20. okay, good, and here's the by knowing middle, the expect the smoke, but i'm gonna use the isn't boy, most of the family and the by the the way to somebody alone. there's so many need be need and i'm assuming everything is coming key within the united states. and then, you know, laying continues in just as long as that video for that or can you, but you're still showing the sort of, you mean the southern using the,

all the spots bruce between paris on land off to the french president to choose as european countries open, how would this, when it comes to the bowl in the crate? as palestinian children begin to solve it to death, the idea stopped. 14 humanitarian trucks from entering northern casa, one is rainy. protest is also brought to border crossing to prevent desperate in need of food trucks, from guessing as far as i'm concerned, the only people that are gaining from the supplies going in is the from us. and i don't need to explain why they shouldn't get to different names pointed with the bar is that good drugs the allowed it to.
