this is an tulsa, and if we come this far, we know that it's going to be worth the journey. the type of buddy i'm rick sanchez and i'm here to tell you that after being a journalist and the news presenter for the biggest television networks in the united states, it's time for some context and for some trust delegate. and in that vein here. so 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'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 us, and it 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 mess. let's talk about something else. now. i wanna talk about young jack dix shera in massachusetts. air national guardsmen and jet tech zera pleading guilty in boston federal court today. the terms of his plea deal include 16 years in prison, prosecutor say the airman 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 this cord? 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 and you have 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 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 cheered 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 more are invited on the new shows you see and all the time to this day, they're invited and treated like their heroes. really, a showing for the government is easy. fix 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 joe, by the bravely stood up to the corruption, the violence and the all the, all the bad things. and yeah, so you did your right mister president. exactly. that julia saw and reported truthfully on many bad things,

and for that he had them arrested and prosecuted for fabricated crimes. he says that the prison is held with 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've 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 a saw 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 of all me a matching 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 as for extremism for criticizing vladimir put, and by the way,

i defend 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 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. those same western leaders wanted to, of all need to be heard because they believed he was a truth dollar fine. that's the right. but it's, that's the case when you also want massage to be heard as well. and if not, the comparison screams 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. 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, you know, the judge's making these sorts of points. so 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 spect we disparage them like, well, like this, i would argue that it's closer to be in the high tech terrorist i saw just a narcissist who was 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's 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, 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 volume. the has been a brave leader who stood up against corruption and talk or seeing he died for a quote through 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 to 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 us. busy cuban, interestingly enough, her name is a nice name. she moved to france from nevada, 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 cash see male, that's all right. the she writes the 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 media analyst lineup. so go what the,

[000:00:00;00]

the russian states never is as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best in most all sense and up the, in the system must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will fan in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on the russians putting s r t spoke back, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube. the tv service was for the question,

did you say they replaced the the, the initial or should i go to specials? do you have like a special ed in a younger civilian motor pulse petition to the insurance the bustle, comprehensive show a few things on our settlement. we have some sort of warner. i'm wondering if somebody wants to get our storage items on shore. i should wish one of those recently me know to the most if the use of that i'm trying to get angry. so by knowing me of the, of these sites they smoke, but then when he is the isn't boy most pretty as grandma and the by the and see the youth with a summer blown extra money need be living and then the ceiling and thing he has come a key within the united nations and scrub lane continues and interest. personally, those are the products in you,

but you're still showing the sort of the southern using 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 review 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 then 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 followed 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 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. and it came to deal with a, with

a talk show host of radio station who became a, who became in possession of a conversation that was legally paved gather. it 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 amendment. right? that he enjoyed by publishing something which would be illegal if he did it. mm. but wasn't there somebody else, a 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, i'm convinced, violated all kinds of was when you weren't a new copy from the rand corporation. that would you talk 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 we 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 to embarrass 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, i think i could probably do this. that's what's going on with journalism today. they're 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 a 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're a journalist. i think they're 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 she and others. and i, i listen very carefully to what you're saying because there's one thing to be a bureau chief is nothing to work. oh, but 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 excelled at it, there are 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 holding, i'm going to push back. now i'm going to push back again on that. i'll let 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 well, you know, of, for the, a not for me. joining us. joining assigned 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, didn't you know, present? now we had a fellow named gonzalez, era. you may not agree with this, but i believe it goes out 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 or like, no molly 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 that's the low. but your, your weight is a great point. well, i know you've got one right where you don't mind, even though i did the journalist where, where was that story? where was the united states government standing behind one of its citizens. a

journal is no, it was a us citizen. well, what do you agree? and oh, yeah, it was filing stories, but there was a lot of the government didn't like. and one day he mysteriously disappeared after being detained and then take him to hospital. where's the address? uh huh. and also speaking of 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 are brought in the right. 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 as cnn feel like they have to say things or promote a certain message because they work and cnn. and many of those may or may not be

journalist. 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 shouldn't be a general agreement as to who in society is a b s artist. and who actually has something interesting to say we oh wow, it has a glass diety to come to those conclusions. we don't have him 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 you 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, you know, the carry helmet, whatever it was, who, who, who laura led you 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 and a guy just been flag,

all right. some of these people read serve more time in prison, then child molesters. now if you think 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 the 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. is this not democrats versus republicans? this 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. seem to have of a certain control over the messaging that we receive and match rory. oh, listen, there was a time i, i don't when i was in talk radio and i was a w, a, b, c. and a word with vice nimble. there was

a time when bill clinton was on air force one he says, do we think we want to bring the fair and a doctor back? he says it can, can we get a democratic talk? shows a favor to say it was different then 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 really a no, no a very what i'm missing. yeah. ok. now what did they say on chat on, on nbc? he's a not. and, and andrea mitchell, i think ended her spotwood. and if you know somebody who is suffering from suicidal ideations call this. um, okay. i didn't, i really good you straight really? the yeah. wow. and 19601963. remember the monk? i know very well. yes. the 1st picture picture of, of the what we said. what else? spirit. what a bobby sent and the hunger strikers. this is incredible,

but this guy because he's taking the wrong side, is not you see one man's terrorist, the other man freedom side, but we do the we do and we do that especially, and i'm not the, i'm not here to promote, you know, russian politics or no volume 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 am a native floridian 2nd generation. and i remember cube, 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 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 correspondent 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 blending that took place. now isn't, 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 interviewed pony. ok. there was, there was a say in a while back, let's go back in time. mike wallace was sitting on the floor when i had told him, and he says that if i do, please don't think there's a wrong way for people. then you're crazy. now 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. you go down the list . mary jane 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 to push back 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 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 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 was a major issue in front of me doing it sadly by giving the attendance to the shows initially. little opinion appreciate the goals and because then we should stick remotely. christie will get to the city because of the consortia, the cases they chose coastal academy doesn't mean you guys to be the most from the folks on the plaza luma. you know about what that

was the term. yes, that's the most important thing to do with somebody. some of the ones contested is the one. this is sort of able to sony successful. it wasn't built, somebody can treasure single additional read on that. i'm forwarding for so or from between ranking to when the powder and his a merge, the more the west panics over its failed to crane projects. the more he is willing to escalate the complex, the same conflict that they say they're not directly involved in. the last thing they are considering is a negotiated settlement. on march the 22nd 1943 doing the great petri. i'll take all the shirts and munch fatality and 118 fun down the belly,

mercy and village of causing the issue. but the person who did the new wish the lower in the city is scenarios. so this one, most of the stuff for the world to pony you to you. $149.00 people died, including $75.00 children of age was practically wiped off the face of the law. new blue loves are a little bit lit option. could of charlie was, you know, and you will you put as follows. oh, shoot, was hard really? i really usually don't you feeling? yes. so the infamous battalion responsible for the actual city included over $100.00 ukrainian national is from west and ukraine because of the picture. all right, let's get them see what. okay. and so far as the new e phone looks, a lot of those to you just for assuming you up a shrewd no, i'm with them. you as customers d, classify criminal cases from the central archive of the k g, b,

a better rules shed light on the atrocity and on so numerous questions that have remained an onset for many years. watch on see the any rock, syria and you list of you, they would know decisions of the un security council, the united states release. it came in from the bottle itself and when the rest of began to protect its people in dunbar, why is the same not allowed for other countries? lot of everything goes out of washington for it. have a quick, double strand and foreign policy julia closing bicycle in front of the world beauty festival fiction for all of the i a speaks to all teach, same thing that he has a un mandate to look into that any further time on the new power problem. his statement comes off, the meeting was in,
