10:31 pm
i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact the right. joining me now to run through some of these big topics that we're going to be talking about today because they are big in the news. as former pentagon official, mike maloof. michael, thanks so much for being with us. thank you. i'm also independent journalist samples say you can read his work by the way at sub stack dot com where he covers everything from genocide to big tech. and even more importantly, if you want to hear him check in once in a while on some of the state department briefings, he's the guy asking some of the tough questions to some of those dude, thanks. thanks for being here. so good to be with your card. chuck schumer, let's start there. he is arguably the highest ranking, judge american, i don't know, politician, elected official and us history. the whole world is still feeling the remember ations, the tremors of what he did over the weekend when he slammed is really
10:32 pm
a prime minister. bb, nothing. yeah. who here's a part of that. as a lifelong supporter, it is really is become clear to me and that's in yahoo coalition. no longer fits the needs of israel after october 7th. as i said, tell you now that after he said that maybe that to yeah. who came back and said it's inappropriate. he said, he shouldn't have said something like that. he said it was wrong. and then he said something else, so it kind of struck me as a hispanic kid growing up in the united states. you said what about a banana republic? it almost seemed to me like he was insinuating that you can say that about those little latino countries that you guys have owned and run for over a 100 years or so. but you can't say that about us. we're not quite a mom while we're not 100 us. i don't know when i heard that it that i didn't like the sound of it, but there's something else that we should tell you. it is true as reported by reuters and many other outlets that 50 percent of israelis for their bucks say they
10:33 pm
don't want him back as their prime minister after the gaza attacks. so that's where we are, sam. let me begin with you here. this comment from schumer did shock, you know, it didn't shock me at all. i think that the us system has been tending towards trying to make netanyahu something of almost a fall guy for this. it's not netanyahu, that's the problem is a big part of the problem. but it's an entire structure of the us and israel establishment working together to build up by stages and a number of ways to this moment where the, where the, where israel could be actually perpetrating this genocide. nobody, nobody was out in the streets saying schumer, please tell me that and you know who to resign it. so why people are out in the 3 think stop arming as well as of slaughter bodies. but he won't do that, but he won't do that. here's the question, i have to ask you that does it? it seems to me that he may have been doing the president's bidding. when chart did
10:34 pm
said i'm gonna explain this to you in just a little bit. oh, i believe you watch. i believe you watch. yeah, he was, it was really, why am i going out there on his own? this is part of the us establishment and how it wants to wash its hands. because if it wasn't even fair to say that he did it by didn't couldn't do it. because biden's not judge. oh um possibly, but also possibly to a trial balloon. i mean the, you know, binding doesn't want to go head to head with not yet, but buttons up for re election. you know, you know, i mean, it gets complicated and the number of ways are biting to do it. it helps to have a, you know, a sort of get kind of do that michael. are you shocked and what did you think of the media and come back from this and yeah, well i, i too was not surprised. and i think it really represents something intriguing. that schumer represents the traditional democrats in this country. the democrats are against the way the israelis are thinking of the way israel is acting today. mm hm. uh cod. simply because they use riley's or the america americans believe
10:35 pm
in this equality. you know, you can put rights and all that. that's absolutely a mass. i'm a to the 2 state solution and to the palestinians. well, and, and so concept. so consequently here you have a jew saying this and it's, it's sending this reverberations. yes, it was. well, here's the thing, doesn't even make a difference that he's george because in the end that there's something we found, i thought it's more that he's democrat. i wanted to go back and look at something where a b, b has been asked or has commented in the past about how he feels about when america criticizes them. so that does mean even then yahoo! and i'm asking you, do you think maybe that's and yeah, who really cares about what american political leaders say. i want you to hear something we found this is a recording. this is recorded back in 2001 he didn't know he was being recorded by the way, he's talking about attacking bella city and. and he's saying that the gotta hit the palestinians hard. that's the only way those people were worn. and then he's asked in the conversation, it's fascinating what he thinks it's the united states start saying, hey,
10:36 pm
you guys are becoming the aggressors. and the rest of the world criticize him. he talks about what he thinks of us criticism. take a look. the, the, the the issue, the 80 percent of americans are with us. i
10:37 pm
can handle the americans. i can maneuver american says maybe nathan, yahoo samuel say what the us public opinion has been manipulated by the us as really establishment for decades. absolutely. they manipulated into the iraq war with lots of other things, but i think some manipulations continue. and i think schumer's statements are part of the manipulation, right? they want to pretend that they're distancing themselves from that now while continuing to provide the diplomatic cover at the u. n and the weapons for israel to continue slaughter. so that's 1st off. i also think that this, this speech, the timing of it right after the tip top think, which was portrayed as an anti china national security thing, but was largely in israel site and it was the, you know, you know, trump talked about getting rid of the, you know the banding tick, tock, years ago it was completely stalled. look at the wall street journal reporting right after these late report right after october 7th. this came back to life. and
10:38 pm
that's how they're really helping israel this week. they're, they're, they're, they're forcing the say, oh, potentially of tick tock. and then the newton who has deep ties to israel to them aside and so on. comes in. it says i'll buy it. so they're trying to wipe out a main platform for gen xers to be putting out information critical as well in hand . the thing go over to men newton with is rarely spoke french. do you, do you know, what do you hear what he's saying? yeah. and so here's, here's, here's what i think sam is getting out here. michael. there was a time when guys old guys like the 3 of us, grew up in america where we got all our news from tom broke on walter cronkite and these guys. and it was institutionalized, it's today you could watch, rick sanchez is program or joe rogan or tucker carlson. and you're going to hear a different story. not to mention kids are watching anybody. they're talking amongst themselves on tick tock. and what they're saying is,
10:39 pm
a lot of these things that we used to take for granted in the world are not the way we were told they were by e, russia, china, whatever israel among those. and that's what strange do you think that's what's different from one of maybe the to the who made that comment in 2001. well i, i agree because he's saying americans are with us. they'll always be with us. well, is that true? today? it is not true today. it is not true today to the extent that you're seeing so many people today rising up against them. but what the history, it was a doing it in terms of the genocide that's going on and palestine, what is it? the young people, is it a little because they like yes, because these are the democrats the bite and wants to hold on to me. it gets back to this. he's losing that support and that's why netanyahu came up. i'm sorry that that. um yeah. where it came out at this time to make that to make that statement, the democrat and republican. but it's the difference between how is riley's,
10:40 pm
if that is what it is. you're not treated one way by republicans. and another way, by democrats, on a, am i getting this wrong or is the right i, i've you, democrats and republicans establishment democrats and republicans as being part of like a digestive system. yeah. they do different things for like, you know, a trump moving the embassy to jerusalem. no conventional president could have done that. right? but trump could, okay, was because you know, a crumbs off the wall and direct us so he can get away with doing something like that. so where's the where, where, where is where as you know, a book shorter clinton couldn't do a move like that. so the establishment uses different presidents to do different. yeah, i think the establishment is not republican and it's not democratic right on his stablished, right? we have in this country. okay. you will come back and argue that out later. let me get to my next point. i found something on the insurance speech of last night. i was coming back from miami and i was reading it on the point that as i'm reading the speech, i'm thinking of myself. what is this here?
10:41 pm
where he says, and i want you to hear him, maybe i got it wrong. you tell me these things to be saying a real democracy, the thing that we're always pushing all over the world, not an israel. we don't need to establish democracy and as well because of democracy wasn't working as well to lima. his own words as it is longstanding american policy to deport support democracy overseas. but in this hypothetical, single state democracy could cost is rarely jews, their safety, if extremist, where to take control of this new state of affairs to ultimately achieve their to a, the violent expulsion of jews from the holy land. now this has no abstract for your thousands of years of jewish history show that when things go badly, the people of the country in which jews live, even in the democracy, all too often turn on them as convenient scapegoat. there's no guarantee this wouldn't happen again in a single is rarely palestinian state to have palestinian voters be the protector of
10:42 pm
israeli. jews would be a bridge too far to accept his actually michael, i'll start with you this time. he's actually right. if you look at it historically started in tor, the entire us, canada experience has been every time they're in a country and there's a problem in that country, they do get beat up. it happened in the middle east. what happened in jerusalem. it happened that happened in germany. it happened in poland, have cast systems in europe. and, and you see this with the gypsies, you saw it with, with other minorities. i mean, even in romania and white, i was there, the low something lower than the romanians, for example, would be the gypsies, the romans as a how nobody said you have a democracy in israel. and i'm arguing that he's our to a well, he's right, because it's never been good to a threat to jews around the world that for a live prince. they lived together for 2000 years before this before as before zionism was created
10:43 pm
a business as opposed to jewish jewish. and so what is the real question here that he's right that jews have not been treated fairly in democratic systems in the past . however, you can't legislate something like what he's asking us to legislate and say israel should be a stain from democracy cuz that's kind of what he's saying. yeah. what he's saying that, that look, i mean, you said ask inaji, you know, i mean it's a european experience. the whole house was the europeans, right. ever. um, so you know, if anything, jews have often taken refuge in muslim countries that are mental majority. so there are holidays, and so what he's trying to do there is to say that he doesn't want a single democratic state. and because the cause the if you, if you give democracy, you've got to get the freedom of the positives. and once you do that, they're going to be at each other's throats, have to be so as opposed to now, what you actually have to sign and be saying that they'll, they'll be at each other's throats in
10:44 pm
a way that might threaten dues. i die saying lots of people say, you know what, why don't you, you know, look in south africa. right? i mean, you'd be, everybody's off there would be a lot of people's out there would be a blood test if you and did a part time. you entered apartheid there is no blood that will hold your hold. oh, hold. oh, that's the solution that people want. well then there's the next question because he said something else, right after that speech. and he, he said something which we've heard a 1000000 times from bb and t and, you know, but never from an american leader where he said it is a jewish state. right? seeming to say that if you're not jewish, you don't. busy long in that territory, i'm just trying to be as modern as i can about this, and i want to be as fair as i possibly can. is it proper to say that a particular country, a particular domain of particular city in particular or anything can only be a people of a certain religion? that's the question that we're going to tackle. that's a tough one. when we come back, he stay with us. the,
10:45 pm
[000:00:00;00] the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to vision with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify. it will confuse who really wants a better world. and is it just because it shows you fractured images, present it is, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the
10:46 pm
the welcome back rick sanchez and were talking to uh uh, someone who you probably could find on television. if you started looking for some of the briefings at the state department, the san jose and he is uh, one of the reporters. he's an independent journalist by the way, and you can also find his work at sub stack. and michael balloons is a former pentagon official who was there during the iraq war and several other shorted parts of our history in this country. let's start, let's go to another comment that struck me from a, from chuck schumer and there, there was something else in his speech. i, the reason i'm mentioning this is obviously, i've heard this articulated, we've all heard this articulated that israel is a jewish state. we've heard that from bb, and it's in your own many, many, many times. but to hear uh, the lee, one of the leading us elected officials say it struck me a little bit. and i just want you to listen to it. and i want to pick the conversation up,
10:47 pm
but i want to be as fair as possible about this. so here it is. second and even more important, the jewish people have a right to their own state. it is so troubling to me that many people, especially on the left, seemed to acknowledge and even celebrate this, right? the state for the, for every group, but the jews, if a national homeland for all peoples of the world has been the driving goal of the anti colonial movement of the last century, then wire only jews seemingly penalized for this aspiration. the jews have a human rights to their own state, just as any other people do. palestinians including palestinian is not a religion. i am, i am struck when i listen to him. and i wanna be as fair as possible to understand his point of view. i think what he's saying is when you're jewish, that's kind of your nationality,
10:48 pm
not your religion. because throughout that statement, what i hear him say is, all the other people everite door country. we should have a right to a country to. but is there a place in the world where there's only a you have to be a methodist or you have to be a baptist. i mean, i'm, i confused here, and i mean it's, it's probably not great to be a christian in saudi arabia, of course. but nobody goes around defending that, certainly not on the senate floor. but here we are, and it's been a standard motif of us policy to say, israel should be a judge or state, should we change the demand and to demand the palestinians. i cannot, you know, recognize it as suck, but they're not jewish. right? right or something, but it will be all right, sir. and it's actually gotten worse. biden. the 1st president, i believe in starting in the summer, started saying not a jew would be safe in the world without the state of his route when in actuality, what the hell is that? yeah,
10:49 pm
it has an american president saying that jews in the united states aren't safe because of the character of the society or the 1st amendment, but because they need israel to be safe. that's an absurd. so to that, that, that's a, that's an attack on the 1st amendment to actually argue that bb and yahoo has made the world unsafe for a lot of jews. much of the discrimination that i'm hearing against jews, which is wrong by the way. it's happening because people are angry about the way that these really government is that, well, this is what you're going to get picked up from a fanatical leaders and, and they're taking on their, they've reverted back to the age of biblical ties of, from the, to monique code that they, that they follow that every that they are the chosen people. and when you listen to them today, they and they, they their talk when you're still very, you're talking about the minutes and yahoo, who's a government government. yeah. and some of the lead by like been good beer and switch and, and these, these are very radical rabid. are they battling? do you guys think those are gonna be really hold on? let me make this,
10:50 pm
let me make this point because i think there's an interesting question. are those people who are saying those things? quoting the bible and saying the bible gives us a right to what degree you know to go after. but hold on. when he says that, are they saying that because they're biblical, all godly men, or because they're using that as their way of getting a lot of the population of israel to go along with the this is how they've got, they've galvanized the, the designers and the israel so as opposed to jews because you're saying they're being knocking bailey and then the way that they're usually very my to agree probably. yeah. oh the was the thing is not a guy who is on his knees every day praying for us. you have a lot of very devout juice, warranties, honest, and they're getting beat up by design as dogs in jerusalem. this can so can friends, right? but you know, doesn't that they are being georgias is fine. it's being designed us where they are in effect a proxy for a colonial project. it's kind of the opposite of what she was saying. it sonata, anti colonial project. it's
10:51 pm
a colonial for final word on this. like you got to distinguish between the, the jews and the zionist movement. these are zion, a sort talking this way, that they, what they want to reclaim all of that territory. they want to go into the non, into the, into and, and take and take over the west bank and clear out and, and have settler started limp. they even want settlers into the got into the gaza strip. but i do believe when b. b speaks and i've heard him speak many times and he believes that there's something about jewish this that makes you beyond just a religion. it's more something akin to a state. what that, whether we like it or not is what he believes and has his spouse's consistently. let's go on to the next topic. nbc headline says the mr. button. this is an older story, but there it's getting a lot of media now. biden is angry, he's anxious. he's even cursing. let me read you. essentially what they're saying in a private meeting. this is a report from nbc nbc and all those allies of the present. and the just told him
10:52 pm
that his poll numbers of michigan in georgia had dropped over his handling of the war between israel and i'm us both are battleground states. he narrowly won 4 years ago. so he's mad because he's losing and georgia and michigan binding then began to shout and he began to swear a lawmaker, familiar with the meetings said, what do you make of that, sir? a i to the democratic vision, the american public then are, as they are learning more, more, more disgusted with vitamins policy of enabling israel's genocide to continue. and, um, you know, people are waking up and that's a threat to the democratic establishment. so what's interesting about biting to me is that he's played this role before the enabled bushes. invasion of iraq. yep. and then try to wash his hands of it. um, you know, you gave him the car keys he. he presided over to the hearing. he kneecaps got radar. he did all of these things to enable the invasion of iraq to happen. and
10:53 pm
then, you know, he's like, oh gosh, what, what was bush thinking? he was really out of control. there was, if he was an innocent party, then he lied about it for years and years. i, you know, are, you know, i, i ran through it all during the 2020 election. he got away with it. people still voted for him and now he's getting, he's trying to do it again. even worse. i got one for you, michael, and i want you to listen to this. this is eric prince eric prince, in from us military contractor founded blackwater. as we all know, accused by the way, the organization was of murder and 14 iraqi civilians back in 2017. and he not too long ago said this on his pod cast. and if so many of these countries around the world are incapable of guarding themselves. then then it's time for us to just put the, to just to, to put the imperial hat back on to say, we're going to govern those countries if you're incapable of governing yourselves. because enough is enough. we're done being invaded because and by the way, i said 2014. i am not stand corrected. that was 2007 when that happened for the record, michael to you. we need to start taking over
10:54 pm
a lot of these countries out there, especially these countries were coming over here at invading us. and by the way, we gotta, we gotta do it in latin america. i got, i got a story for him. happens to be that i'm from latin america. you've already done that in latin america. and he's, he's reemphasize on the point of the imperialism. the monroe doctrine, but let's extend it also to africa and everywhere else to, to, to shoot the american version of democracy into peoples. as i saw this when we went into a rock and we were and we were totally wrong then, and we lost trillions and we had nothing to show for me. it's like, i like that check. why would he say chicago? suddenly a conservative concept, whether you're republican or democrat, that's why ever so it was glorious to see victoria newman take a hike because she is the ukraine has been her policy 30 seconds. i just never heard somebody with the guts or the intestinal fortitude to articulate something like this. sam. 30 seconds you get the last 30. i think that that is why is relo so
10:55 pm
important? because israel in the guise of standing up for the jews, was able to keep the colonial project going. and what eric prince's saying, we need to expand it. we need to expand it again into latin america, into africa, into asia. so that is why part of the reason why the struggle for is relevant to struggle to stop israel from doing what it's doing of genocide and ethnic cleansing is so important. it's not just about the palestinians because then everybody else has potentially all the chopping block. that's a funny way to come to a conclusion of a show with words like those. thank you both excellent conversation before we go. i do want to remind you of our mission here. it's pretty simple, but we kind of want to do is the silo. the world is got to stop living in these little boxes where you only think like your neighbors or someone else to still live in boxes. i'm rick sanchez. i'll be looking for you again, right here where we provide
10:56 pm
a direct impact the me which you did you, when you cpu, the story page go level the use of solutions, stuff. you see the shifting, it's because each time she couldn't miller the collected steep it could be susceptible to difficult. the easy, honestly. so i would have to do is make sure that you create excuse tardiness, which is pretty cool story. so disposable cleaning some the doors not say that the, which it's done. it's conflicting the, let's say, by pushing and the centuries ago. your for bears name, this country,
10:57 pm
ukraine or frontier. because you're steps blank, europe and asia, the ukrainians, that become frontiersman of another story. the people who done this, there was a senior, this one was which of the most of them there's always, you know, going to jump to the most goals. they would have been there. and i said, let me know which is cool, man joe, point on the post. co pays give to 2nd the we'll have to okay. the step on the, the of the revolution of 1789 in france,
10:58 pm
gave hope for the liberation of the oppressed peoples in the french overseas territories. but paris did not want to part with its sources of profit silver. a sign of the colonization was the uprising of black slaves in haiti that remote island produced almost half of all the sugar on the planet. sooner was made by d as in branch, isolates broad from africa. in $1791.00, they started an uprising against their oppressors. the black swept away the colonial administration and formed their own army. it was led by that charismatic leader, francois dominique, tucson, levered to are frank to james, to regain control of the colony were unsuccessful. having jumped up, our napoleon dispatched a large expeditionary force to haiti. the french manage, the caps are too, so love it. you are by deceit. but they could not suppress the rebels and suffered devastating defeats. on january 1, 18
10:59 pm
o 418 declared independence. the 1st one in the whole latin america. however, freedom was paid for with the blood of 200000 courageous haitians who had sacrificed their lives for the abolition of slavery on our planet. the events in haiti were the only successful uprising of slaves in history. when they not only through of slavery, but also began to rule their state, the water is a part of the leg isn't it probably would post to this isn't the dfcs you of us input in the word part, is it something deeper,
11:00 pm
more complex might be present let's stop without collision. let's go out of the just behind me is the very hall of the spots country at house music festivals, christmas mall kids victory day parades. and today, it was hosting a concept to celebrate the 10th of last 3 of crime is reunification with russia, with vladimir putin congratulating the nation on this historic date. crimea is the 1st and foremost the people. they carried faith in the fatherland through the decades. they have never separated themselves from russia, and this is what allowed crimea to return to common families. meanwhile, the returning head of state had special praise for those who cast their
