then, but countries to provide the weapons, the e u. parliament listed the system this system as one that could help ukraine against russia. but all of this comes against the backdrop of a leaked old here type of expose. germany's military top bras discussing how to help ukraine attack russian targets in response activists through the german free sacks. any policy filed a lawsuit against those quotes on tape, a choosing limits, trying to carry out an illegal act of aggression. now with the tension on the story, definitely not dying down, it seems like it might be getting a little bit too much for the defense ministers. next. a good us. that's the telephone. i mean, the reason that the phone call could still be recorded in the range of the air force is due to an individual application error. not all participants adhere to the secure dialing procedure as prescribed reviews for, according to current knowledge, data was leased from the participant in single point of view is connected via and

an authorized connection, i. e, virtually via an open connection. this is exactly what kootenai wants to achieve over the course of several months, or at least several weeks. he steps the agenda for what we're discussing here in germany. whether it is support for ukraine in one form or another. how successful ukraine is, whether it can win the war or not at the time and time again. this is an agenda imposed from outside by certain events. i am very angry about this story among other things because we have been dealing with only this topic for 3 days here because yeah, like i said, but in the often most of the leak, the western media added fuel to the fire with some outlets releasing obstacles of unknown and less than to be used with western spine offices. and one such piece exclaimed the work of russian intelligence is said to be more intense than even during the cold war with west and offices assessing the rivals as being capable of

quote, sophisticated operations. the best pen display. cool. but let's go on, let's pep, basketball, says mccullin's comments reveal an internal divide between the you and within nato, that there is an element of a balloon. they say a trial balloon, by mouth console. they had all those leaking. tell conversations before the before he would say something so serious. and then we have to come back to what lloyd austin said a few days before my crow light austin said x truly if you print blues is made to be at war with rush. so this is the kept out of the bank every body following 2 years of after the beginning of the special military operation. everybody knows. but now defense that going to say hands out loud. and then immediately after that, my crow double snell. uh saying something that's uh,

some nato allies. the eastern europeans especially are dying. okay. we need direct and we need nato troops, ukraine, and all those. the even friends spend the german especially know that this is the switch side notes. so we see there's a good cop bad cop being played out now in poverty, which reveals most of all the internal disarray of nato and the you for that matter . the split between france and germany and the americans and the, the elias that jump minute those read you want, which is longdon kiev view and use war. so it's a completely different nato that they want a lot. so we've got time for this out of feedback with more needs and views at the top of the next hour. i hope you can join us the,

the fiber buddy. i'm rick sanchez. and i'm here to tell you that after being a journalist and a news presenter for the biggest television networks in the united states, it's time for some context and for some truth telling an in that vein. here's where 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? i'm just got 16 years in prison. why did he do it? and number 3, president of the united states now says he's a big fan of people who criticized the government. who was 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 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, even 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 4 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 mess. let's talk about something else. now i want to talk about young jack took 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, hey, this score, what's discord? it's a place where gamers hang out. most of them are kids. liked 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 shells to 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 the iraq war, for example, our government was chaired into that situation, right. which here and for them to go ahead and do the war and what did 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 see and all the time to this day, they are invited and treated like their heroes. really, the 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 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. let'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 it. yeah. so you did your right,

mr. president. exactly that join 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, you tell them isolation. yup. 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 named alexi, nova ami a natural president biden was praising. why? because he criticized not the us government, rather the russian government before dying in the prison after being sentenced for

extremism for criticizing vladimir put, and by the way, i could spend his right to criticize bottom or put at that time. 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. so he was a student of all, and he 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, it goes something like this. she does it like put, and therefore he must be great. it's that simple. the same western leaders wanted to, of all need to be heard because they believed he was a truth dollar fine. that's there, right? but if that's the case, wouldn't you also want the song to be heard as well? and if not, the comparison screens hypocrisy. now, 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 tide 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 and he senses 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 judges 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 do we only support the truth tellers if they criticize russia, but if they criticize our government, then we spare. we disparage them like, well, like this. i would argue that it's closer to be in the high tech terrorist massages

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, has done is this guy is a traitor, a treasonous, not for the death penalty. so if i'm not for the defense, only want 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, know 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 said 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 cuban, 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 catch. see now that's all right. issue 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 line. oh, don't go what the

take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by tell us to do vision with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as 1st? can you see through their illusion going underground can oh, when i was wrong,

just don't safe house because the engagement includes the trail. when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground, the 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 in 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 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. huh. and that's all i know. and i let other people decide whether the volunteer was a hero where the resides 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 and a radio station who became a, who became in possession of a conversation that was illegally paved. gather it was

a wire tap 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 that daniel ellsberg. what is that all about that sound papers? yeah, daniel ellsberg, i'm convinced, violated all kinds of laws when you want a new copy from the really corporation that rick, you're talking about somebody which is very important. and it's, it's funny. the notion of a reporter, what we're seeing today is we have media proxies. they are re, peters, not reporters. they're actually, they're, they're, they're out board representatives of the government,

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, uh, going to a hospital and a doctor. watch into 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 asked the question should journalist be license? and he said you only need a license to cut 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're 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 leads of c n and others i, i listen very carefully to what you're saying because there's one thing to be a bureau cheap as nothing to worry about the wait a minute, wait a minute, 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 stick with the constitution. in this particular case, let me give an example of something i love this. i love rick the way what you know of for the a not for me, julian, or saw julian assigned is for all practical purposes. he's like the jose padeo, 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 lira. you may not agree with this, but i believe gonzalo lira, who was a journalist. yeah, he did a youtube channel that was in. he was in your brain. yes. and basically from what, what, from what we understood and he was killed me or died, or like navarro 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 was that's the hello. you raise a great point. well, i know you've got one right. where was that? and i'm not even know i did a 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 your grandfather was filing stories, but it was

a less good government didn't like. and one day he mysteriously disappeared after being detained, movement taken to a hospital. where's the address? uh huh. 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. 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, by the way, why? pushing back on the boat, 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, we're not gonna have him arrested, but i'm allowed to have my opinion. well, put it this way. if we could have a graphic be as 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 a, 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 i and a guy just been flag. all right. some of these people rec, serve more time in prison and then child molesters. now if you think that's fair,

that's okay. that to me was absolutely a violation of the 1st amendment 2 to 2 weeks. now some we're guilty of trust fast and a variety of things. and that's another story. yeah, yeah, that's 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. this is not democrats versus republicans. is 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 that's rory. oh is 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 washington ball. there was a time when bill clinton was on air force one he says, do we think we way to bring the fairness doctor back?

he says it can't. can we got a democratic talk, joe hoses favorite. it's like it was different. then let me throw one more as we go . 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 these really uh no, no, a very well embassy. yeah. okay. now what did they say on chat on, on nbc. he's a not. and, and andrea mitchell at the end of her spotwood. and if you know somebody who is suffering from suicidal ideation is call this them, okay, i didn't, i really did you say really that big. oh yeah. wow. and 19601963. remember the monk i know very well. yes. especially the 1st picture picture of, of the what we said, what us spirit, what is bobby sent and the hungry strikers? this is incredible, but this guy because he's taking the wrong side, is not he's the one man, a terrorist. the other man, freedom side,

the and we do that especially, and i'm not be, i'm not here to promote, you know, russian politics or no ball and they are putting, 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 washer and 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 core martians 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 that the report back on you there as well, because we came to a time is then when phil donahue interview impression 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 was 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, tucker, carlson. just interview potent ok. there was, there was a seat in a while back. let's go back in time. mike wallace was sitting on the floor when i

had told a whole menus. if there's, 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 any with these people? no, that was no problem. barbara walters interviewed carol castro. they go down the list. yes, larry changed. interviewed chavez. you name it. but the thing is, is that look at the cash girl i interviewed garbage of. i interviewed a bunch of people who are so, but nora and i'm present no less. so throughout my career seems like i can do it back better. but do what else are you asked to gated right today? no, i don't fit you push the push back. 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 of we're out of time, but thanks for being our friend today, you're gonna have a 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 on 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 of the the

polish bomb is reportedly breaking into the national parliaments during a meeting to protest against e u. environmental policies. and states called before pulling the industry also ahead does not need any push up from wisdom board. does not see any certificates are dictation from the rest and work, but it got a hit and a type of threshold or any other country for that matter. a spokesperson for india is rooting. policy says in the mean to be with all see that his country reserves its rights for independence and self warranty in defiance of oppression. from the way the.
