age to suppress commandeer, cool, uncontrolled, the church has, and an as an independent voice of critique of the state. this we have seen happen again here in ukraine with an effort to fill classical roles and possessions in the church with right when extreme nationalist noises. and yes, the evidence is van, i'm hoping there for a very long time that the, as all the in particular has demonstrated extreme right wing leanings on the is a duty. it's a model hold legation of the checks to speak truth and to condemn this as an extremely dangerous ideology. we are seeing very similar things happen in palestine at the moment. we see some of the most historic churches in the world being destroyed by a united states all lie in them, at least i'm religion and religious institutions, particularly when they're coopted by the state. have become strategic then assets

to west of the military power, which has shown itself to be quite aggressive and expansionist stick and the alley part of the, the 21st century. okay. and finally, this news are we go to, don't boss, were military traffic police helping stopping women and then yet, but it wasn't to get a speeding ticket or some other warning they've, instead of being gifted flowers, this international women's, like there's ortiz, remind customer a question for the ladies at the international women's day, i was just spring cheer and lots of love have a great day helping international women's day. thank you very much and have a great mood and lots of love. gonna shake your head of course. thank you. this is

so nice have a great day and a great mood. the question was happy international women's day, which is that all this. i'm very happy to congratulate the girls to be came out smiling and friendly and also wished us happiness, health, and most important we peace is very special and let's say very pleasant. it is pleasant for me to give presence to such beautiful lovely ladies in sunny twitter weather. yeah, you can see the earliest and some of the faces as well. great stuff there. all right, time for a visit to the direct impact studio was once again to see what's called rick sanchez and guess talking today enrollments by the

bad. hi everybody. i'm rick sanchez. and i'm here to tell you that after being a journalist and a news presenter for, for the biggest networks in the united states, it's time for some context and for some truth telling. and then that vein, here's what we're going to be talking about. number one, wire soldiers now patrolling new york sub ways. and what does that say? number 2, china tells us tech companies that out. is it getting mad or is it getting even number 3? why is alana zillow and scott, the 1st lady of ukraine in case you didn't know? she's not being 1st lady jo biden's invitation to sit with her at the state of the union address to me. but here's the most interesting story. it has to do with a woman named victoria of newland, the queen of the neo cons. she's stepping down. who is she? why she's so wealthy. and what's this going to mean for ukraine?

good questions. you bet. this is a direct impact. the . so if a picture is worth a 1000 words, then this one should be like an entire book, a book perhaps about the future of our country, the future of america. look at this. and as you're looking at this picture, those members, they're of the national guard, their soldiers, right? essentially inside some of the same ones you've served in iraq and afghanistan. those guys, those dials are now patrolling the subways of new york city. the optics of this, just think about it for a minute and the optics of the scene. bizarre to me anyway, because one of the things that i always kind of separated in my mind, maybe because i'm

a gringo here and that's the way i think. the way i separated us from the rest of the countries in the world that i've visited. for example, throughout latin america is that we don't seem to have a military presence in our daily lives here in the united states. we don't, right? or at least that's what i always thought. i mean, and here's what i mean. have you ever been, for example, have you ever been on vacation to like the caribbean or to live in america? i always found that when i went there, i thought it was always on settling when i went there on trips with my wife and with my kids to see these guys in these military fatigues holding a machine gun, you know, and they were like next to me and my wife and my kids while we were sitting on the beach or outside of the store, or even at a park. and it always made me made us question. is there something going on here about, was this guy sitting here with the machine gun, right? i'll save, can this place be where we're vacationing? if there's a guy next to was where the machine gun in the military for tags. how free is this place? i asked. well, a,

i'm what i'm wondering now should we be asking the same question about us here in the united states as we learned that a 1000 guards are being sent to patrol the subway is 250. i'm going to be straight troopers. another $750.00 of them are going to be national guardsmen sitting there . the subway is as you come in and out and go to work. why new york officials are saying that it's for the turns to send a message to the potential bad guys. right. the real reason, the some ways are just damn dangerous these days. they've already been 3 killings this year alone. commuters are being attacked and recently, even a train conductor had a slight slashed, you know, how many people use the new york subways? by the way, 3000000 people a day. the united states has reportedly adding thousands of chinese companies to a trade blacklist later today. in total, around each additional companies could be added to the so called entity list,

nearly all of them chinese did you hear that nearly all of them chinese. so that has been pretty much the big story here in the united states in the past 8 years or so. we heard it during the trump administration, we're hearing and now during the, by the ministration of the theme is pretty simple. go after and punish all chinese tech companies. what's interesting about this story is, is i've pulled it over the years and written about it over the years. new f tech companies are guys here. have long been warning us that these china sanctions, these things that we're doing of the chinese would end up hurting us or cutting them in other words, right. the tech companies in the us. well guess what? as it's happened, del, international business machines, cisco systems, they're all getting kicked out of china as beijing games to let its own companies take over all tech operations by 2027. so why are the chinese doing this?

well, according to them, they apparently don't trust us. american tech giants have long drive them china, as we provided them with tech tools, they provided us with cheap labor. and now china reacting no doubt to the match the back and forth with washington over the last 7 or 8 years. so that is driven to self sufficiency. within the computer industry, it's operating systems and it's software systems because it doesn't trust the us tech companies any more. can you say pick the top? usually the wise of presidents are exclusively engaged in peaceful affairs, education, human rights, equality, accessibility, and maybe you expected from me to speak on those topics. but how can i talk about them when and on per loca? as pro invasive terrorist war is being waged against, and my country of russia is destroying all the people that in case you couldn't

figure it out for the records is the 1st lady of ukraine speaking recently, i remember at the invitation of nancy pelosi to the us congress or a congressional hearing or meeting. she was also invited to attend the state of the union by 1st lady joe biden, and they were going to be sitting together for all the world to see. but apparently mister soleski has said, the act s. she ain't doing it. she snubbing us 1st lady snubbing the event. you wanna know why? here's another story kind of gets weird. i mean, it reminds me of high school, pardon me for saying that. so she's not mainly invitation because she doesn't like the widow of to 10 critic alexi know volney. you can't make this stuff up right. but here it is. according to ky officially now, mrs. sullen. scott? yes, that's how you pronounce her name. it's not zalinski cuz she's the wife team,

whatever. anyway, they say that when she heard that mrs. nepali pronounced and of all maya was also invited, she said, well that i'm not going i'm not going if she's going. and apparently she's not going. her reason look, and it's kind of complicated, but apparently it has to do with crimea. but despair you a headache, i'll save you the explanation for some other time and perhaps some other show. then there's mrs. new what thinks he can wait ukraine out. and he thinks he can wait out all of us. we need to prove him wrong. that was under secretary of state victoria newland last month discussing tactics to stop russian president let her put on the 2nd anniversary of the ukraine war. now just week later, the career diplomat to turn top political appointee is retiring. there you go, secretary of state. anthony blinked and has announced that his under secretary,

victoria newland, i guess his number 2 or number 3 or whatever is stepping down. no, it is an interventionist. you know, that means, or other words, she likes wars and she likes sending our troops to go fight in wars. she's also large in very large measure, responsible for the escalation of the war in ukraine. in fact, outside of us media, she's known worldwide, right? you won't hear about it here because our media doesn't report this for some reason because i don't know. they just don't want you to know the truth, but she's known throughout the world and media reports around the world have shown this. she was the person who directed the c. i a to start the coo and ukraine to push out the democratically elected president, back in 2014. did you know that you probably did. if you're watching me from somewhere else outside of washington, why didn't she want him out? by the way, why did you want that do the president at the time out because. busy his ties to russia, students are in newland hates. russia. hey,

it's russia. i mean with them and vigorous she h. russia. here's a smoking gun. now that proves that she did exactly what her critics charged. that she was overheard by the way, in the planning of the school of the dates in precise context of the recording and not known new to the us some precedent to ukraine. jeffery, piet's discuss which of the countries opposition leaders they'd like to see and government and they refer to getting the un involved. so that would be great, i think, to help glue this thing and how the u. n. help fluid. and you know, the, you know, exactly, and i think we've got to do something to make it stick together because you can be pretty sure that if it does, if it does start to gain altitude the russians. ready will be working behind the scenes to try to torpedo it. so there it is. now here's what you need to know. i. i started this morning and last night doing a little bit of a day gone now victoria know, and i wanted to find out who is victoria newland right? the. this is the stuff that i think about victoria know,

and that's relevant to her pro. so lensky stance, for example, she is a neo conservative to say the very least, who also happens to be married to one of the most prolific neo conservatives, perhaps, and u. s. foreign policy history. so his husband, her husband, pardon me, is a guy named bob kagan, along with dick cheney and bill crystal great pairing. huh. they actually together founded the neo conservative project back in 1997. they actually found it right. and then use that to push for the disastrous war. that was iraq. here's something else. i think this is fascinating. i don't know. you might find it fascinating as well. well, no one makes roughly a $180000.00 a year. as a government employee, i looked it up. she said to be worth anywhere between $2.00 to $8000000.00 conservatively. and though she works for the government for our government, she also has a long standing relationship with

a private company that handles foreign government affairs. and that would be the albright stonebridge group, look them up and it seems conflict. why? because that those folks the, by the way, named after the former us secretary state madeline albright albright stonebridge seems conflicted because they make their money handling complex diplomacy deals with countries all over the world. which means that kind of get to choose who are the good guys who are the bad guys. they do deals with them. they get paid by them . but it sounds an awful lot like they're doing foreign policy. now this is what i want to dig into. so when we come back, when we come back, what does this mean for ukraine? when the, some would say architect of our ukraine policy, these out, we're going to be joined by that guy right there. see him that's michael maloof said hi michael, former pedagogy official and george. some well,

he wrote bombs were peace nato's, who monetary of war on yugoslavia. and he is an advisor at the global policy institute and we're coming right back. do not go away the today in the united states, all foreign policy establishment, all national security establishment is whether or not you pursue it becomes a cloak for our own regression. it becomes a way of flushing other countries on the back. so on this side,

our record shows that we're not really that much of the democracy that we have no strip interfering in other countries when they produce democratic outcomes. we don't like the the, let's talk about this because i think this is whole, this whole, the victoria know what the thing is fascinating. we're joined by michael maloof. as you know, michael maloof is a former pentagon official, and we're also going to be joined, as i told you about just a little bit earlier by george. so i'm well we welcome gentlemen michael, i begin with you and i'm thinking to myself here. if i am zelinski sitting in care of and i'm wondering, so newland is out. wait, that's my go that's. that's my go to person in the us government, that's the one who helped me in 2014. what must see be thinking right now. he's

probably seeing the handwriting on the wall he's. i think this is a signal that it's over and that has offensive, if you call it that me is not working, it's and it's a and he's having to retreat. well, it's interesting because that actually makes me think, can there be a ukraine policy without victoria newland? it seems like one hand goes with the other. no. well it's out of her. it's out of us hands at this point it's. it's becoming, it's not only not only the russians taking the eastern part button, you have countries such as poland, lithuania, these other countries that have historical ties to west crane it's is. and the reason why she was just so imbedded in, in ukraine, is that her family came from what was the czar's russia, which is to the west to credit. so it's kind of like a part, it would be like new and making sure the united states impacts cuba. yeah. but it's like a family came from 2 of them. yeah, that's strong. exactly. it's like a family funeral place. little person let's. uh, let's go to georgia somali of is your is, you know, is, is moment for right or are,

or does the ukraine policy hedge on her and is the fact that she's out. let's say that it's going to be tough goings now for zalinski and his group. i'm not sure about that. i think that the united states, as a european, they are absolutely wedded to this policy of you're basically trying to inflict the feed on russia it through you. great. i don't think it depends on victoria you. then she obviously has been a, a central thing up in the ukraine policy right from the beginning, you know, actually going back even to the 19 ninety's. however, i don't think us policy hangs on that. and even the noises that we're getting the, uh, hey, uh, from your up with my crown saying, there are no limits. there are no red lines in our support for, uh,

ukraine. and then you know, the, the british what the rating, the germans with them for being insistent and please sell us and supporting your brain. i think we're a long, long way from any, any policy of abandoning events. but i but, but here's where i think michael is right. uh if, if we, if, if we had done the deal that was proposed a year ago or so with ukraine is the landscape. what is that? i'll take that deal. let the russians take that part of the country and, and we're good, we're good. let's let, let's just finish this. if he had taken it, then he would have lost a heck of a lot less than he's losing now. so it just seems incrementally like it's certainly not going in his direction, wouldn't you argue or no, it's absolutely right. i think um ukraine made the softest, absolutely catastrophic decision and listening to bars johnson and through bars jones up to the americans up sticking with that policy that just shows up to be determined the british, the americans, and they do up to use ukraine to inflict

a defeat on russia because let's remember that deal that was on the table in east i'm both was not at all favorable to rush. it was actually very, i'm favorite with a rush within the premium. negotiate before amazed at the concessions the russians were making. but nonetheless, they rejected that deal because they, they thought they sold this opportunity ready to screw russia over. so absolutely. so let's get to the thinking that deals for that doesn't mean that the in the burden and the americans and nato are abandoning this problem. right? no. okay, good. well, you guys are somebody disagreement on that and i'll accept that by the way. interestingly enough, as i recall uh, lot of my putting told uh, my friend tucker carlson, that he was willing to consider that deal and probably would have taken that deal back then. which is interesting looking at it. now if you know, if, if he in fact whatever not, we don't know. that's a part of history. now michael, back to you. i am bothered, i don't know if you listen to my intro,

but i am bothered when i see this all bright stonebridge group that apparently she has worked for apparently, she's a big to do there, as always blinking into or a bunch of people in the bottom administration, when i read about this outfit, it sounds to me like they do like foreign policy rather like a shadow government. if you will inform policy, you have to come pick reading also who belongs to it. and you have a lot of, admittedly, some real, a rhino republicans who work, who are, are, are part of that establishment. and so there, there's sort of a, a government and waiting, and they advise on who will, who will not be a good candidate the way long. they all, they had to wait for, it was for binding to get elected. because as soon as it got elected, he took all of them from that company, right. and then put them into his the state department, the state department. right now there's, there seems like there's some falling in that for me. i mean, well, we make it because they're because they're a part of the company. that means they do deals with these. what other meds, every, they're republicans do it. they pull him out of out of heritage and, and,

and other uh, think tank. some of that. it's, it's like that's conflict if it seems to me, isn't it? well, it might be conflict, but that's the way it is in washington. and so, and so you can then make an argument that the reason we do the things we do, let's just pick your brain cuz we happen to be talking about. i don't want to pick too much. are you? great? so in many ways, the reason we're doing ukraine is because these guys, when they were, and those companies already had a standing policy or, or deals that they had done with you, great in the government. but not only that now they're going to work on their behalf. but they also had a near con, image of containment of russia. ukraine is just a stepping stone for russia. gotta keep that much. that's why i disagree with. what with my colleague here a little bit that the europeans are now beginning to understand the us got them into this mess. they're stuck with. it. us is thinking of pulling out, especially if trump were elect to be elected. but, and that affects nato. but let's leave, let's leave leave ukraine aside because now i'm like a dog with a bone stuck on this albright stonebridge thing. and i'm thinking of myself, man,

it just sounds so incredibly corrupt. if you work for a government for, i'm sorry, if you work for a private company and that private companies, business is dealings with governments and you take money from those governments to do their deals. now you go work for the government and i pay you. and you are still going to do the same deals, but now you're going to do them on behalf of me and my government and the taxes that i pay you. that's a conflict of interest. no, i mean i mean that the, you know, i that, that's kind of what i'm thinking here, george. no way that it is, but the things like the full bright stonebridge grew much like a live group. i mean these are private equity firm. why do they do they go to a countries and they secure investments? that's what they, they, these are, you know, you, you found the countries you pulverized of you installed a friendly government following in your color revolution and then you make money and that's the whole, the whole point of that. the old right stonebridge will they make money?

they go there with their own clients and you know, how do i really invest in this country? and that's and that's what they do in and over item particular, she made a lot of money on cost. so that was she was the big bummer in chief of costs about in the 90s, and then, hey, hey, presto, i can make a lot of money here. and that's how people like gun doland get rich for themselves. you back. that sounds corrupt as hell. i mean, just just to my earring of it, i mean, it sounds unbelievably corrupt and you were about to go there. but if it's true, as i read that she makes, she has anywhere between 2 and a $1000000.00 and that's very conservative. i mean, she's gotten rich off of her government position, trading, what she knows or contacts and her deals while pretending to be really working for the government of the united states when she really wasn't my overstating. am i being fair? unfair? that's exactly. what do you say you go? do you go there?

you are georgia, you promise georgia state. you're going to have um, in the nato membership down the road. i'm paid. let's make some money. let's so you know, let's, let's do a deal. let's, let's sign the contract. let's say you invest in, let's invest that and there's a lot of money to do it because these companies like this, the override stonebridge crew, have clients like clients. well, when they go make money, they want to do an invest in these countries that are big. i mean clients states of the united states. so why, you know politicians abroad, i mean that's of allows these filthy rich. so is the mcconnell, by the way, all they do is take a, you know, they take a salary of a 100, a couple, couple $100000.00 a year and somehow they end up in may of the millions of dollars. so, but in this case, these are not even elected officials. these are the members of the cabinets of all the different president republicans or democrats. shouldn't we do something to stop this? couldn't there be a rule if you, for example, here's a simple the rick sanchez rule. making it up as we go here and you work for all bridgestone, right?

or stone bridge or whatever. that was congress. you can't work. you can't take a job in the government for at least 3 or 4 years. but we are just kept doing great . we do that with defense companies, but with our generals and when they retire, when they wait 3 or 4 years, then they get it as a r r. they get waivers from congress? well, i do. well, that's what austin got. i mean, that's all we became secretary defense right after he towards the apparently worth over $10000000.00. well he has, he was with the, i believe lockheed so you know, it, it's so embedded in our, in our culture, our, our governing culture. how you get rid of it. now you won't be able to because it's so, but then if we don't get rid of it every time somebody tells me that we have to give a $100000000.00 to your grain or but you want a lab or wherever that how, what was the name of the country, my 1st question is, are we giving it to them because they need it? or are we going to get to it? because there's some people there who are cronies. we're going to get rich off. well, that's why you need a congress that's on top of things that can do oversight and question these kinds of things. they actually have to approve the budgets and then what happen,

they can question those things and, and bring it out. but then they're not, they're too busy of fiddling around. you know, bob, george, i, i'm left to think that there's no way forward except a way that doesn't look very good because of this path continues. whether it's a rom, guys of ukraine, of china, the south tennessee, russia. i mean, all i see is opportunities for people to get rich during conflictive or conflicts, wars conflagrations. then that means that these things are going to keep happening . well that's why newland, it has, has, has been involved in non stop wars. it's, it's from afghanistan and, and, and, and then iraq. yeah. and all of this, i got you all wild up now. so let me get, let me look forward to speaking to george, go ahead. you are. is that right? yes, that's the way, right? because michael mentioned that i have, well, the need for congressional oversight because the way they regulated congress is

that they can never be any oversight because these bills, 1000 page bills, they are right. and then you have to sign well within about 2 hours. so no one, no one can possibly get through a 1000 page bill into as in fine what's in the and, and, and that's what, so, yeah, absolutely. what was huge amounts of money important here that no one knows what the hell to doing. because unless you assign them a service, i'm hoping to be paid and imagine of veterans and was going to be paid. and then there's more of like, well we have to, we have to actually sign. and the couple of us to know really knows what the handles in the bill, and you literally have to go to russian television to find out about these things because you're not going to hear it from that as a group or you're not going to hear it from anybody on fox, you're not gonna be here without american newspapers. all these things that are going on that we as americans should know about because we love this country and one of the want them it. and it just makes me crazy to know that most of my fellow

citizens don't know about the things that are being done in their name. in their name, michael george, you guys are great. guess. interesting discussion. great conversation. we'll do it again before i go. i want to remind you of our mission here that we try and have these conversations because we think it's important and we don't want to live in the. so i'm on the right or i'm on the left or whatever. no tools don't live in the right or in the left to serve everywhere. we should talk about them wherever they are. i'm rick sanchez. i'll be looking for you again right here. but i hope to provide a direct impact the the, [000:00:00;00]

the, [000:00:00;00] the boxes. so ive, how frank has dumbing assessment of the idea of operation and gas up sales pretoria levies, new charges against israel over when they pause the genocide of the palestinians. we talk to the countries the presidential spokesperson to boys as a country. and this is something present number 4, so we'll continue to attempt to use a re,
