the access mens of well well this you regularities, in terms ofa report has to do with what we have continually see what the civil rights organization uh found against the infringement. uh, the position of for reading the powers about people and how they want to influence, you know, what's going on and after your credit is completely nuts. acceptable. you know, you just want uh, individuals and pop pets that they can control and continue to have the on the way through those kinds of individuals in the, in africa. this is why i think, you know, in my opinion, while we're having this properties in, in, in, in the reports that's concerning what's going on in different parts of africa. and how do you think african nations a respond together and feelings of washington acting in this way towards their internal decisions and processes?

unfortunately, you will always going to have africans will do not hold the national ideals of such and a nation as to hives. and people who feel that the, the, getting the fables from, from the west, you wouldn't do it on the minus the fundamental freedom or the essence progressive development of the nations. we're going to always have, for lack of a better word. how, what's in africa? we're going to bunch that to the west when you know that makes sense and pronouncements all states in the reports that kind of fable the deal when i zation that is going on. and now if we can, that's very side. and this is why we would never stop cutting on or now if we could to rise up, you know, to begin to lupina words regardless of the reports that come in from the west. because, i mean, it's really on the coming and advocate needs to grow and rise up. we need people who uh pete trotted regardless of the individual tribes. and then the government in

power to be able to see the collective big picture of africa and a nation is especially like nigeria, the on what is the own salvation personal interest. this is a corner, this is what will keep promotion to ensure that africa rises up to the cd to known speech has its own seat, you know, and to come and see of nations regardless of the reports. i give a speaking to us today. i really appreciate your time and your insight into the mazda we've been talking to adults in moses pul, organizing secretary of nigeria, and they have a policy. thank you very much. yeah, i am not the organizers that good for you. i'm a member of the, uh well we'd have to come pay an organization then the uh, the big 2 rates or in terms of narrow it to you for the organization and also the company now the free nigeria movement. oh, i do apologize. i stand corrected. we'll adjust that. thank you so much for joining goes, it's good. speaking to you. thank you. i thank you for joining us. hey, on, on the international up next. rick sanchez with the latest episode of direct impact

and all. but that was more news at the top of the out of the fire body. this is a daily show that's somewhat different. so glad you're there. we hold no punches, so look for it. truth bomb number one. donald trump says he's got to stop d dollarization. kenny do that, i'm going to show you what he said. groupon, number 2, the most self serving, and dishonest correspondents dinner. you will ever see. it just took place in washington. d. c. droop um. number 3 more violence, more arrests as pro israeli forces in the united states are told to cut down all

those protesters and one of the $200.00 colleges and universities and we, we have the pictures to prove it. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. the so the south community led by brazil in india with russia and china. i'm not too far behind our yearning for a more fair global parent. so you know that right. but donald trump has just come out recently and said that if he becomes president, he will punish those who even think about the substituting the dollar for another currency. you know, i will, i likely the push toward the dollarization came about because of the sanctions and other penalties that were put on russia in 2022. after the west, unplugged russia,

from the global financial system entirely and seized its assets. the being economy solve that and then they ask themselves a whole whole what if they come after us? what if they do at the us places like brazil and india and they're on another, started asking themselves, and that is why in january of 2023 briggs, the global south group that includes brazil and russia in india and china and south africa. now, many more announced that it wants to create its own currency to bypass the us dollar a med, washington's dangerous sanctions crates. former president trump says i will not let you do that. here's this quote. i hate when countries go off the dollar. i would not allow countries to go off a dollar because when we lose that standard, that will be like losing the revolutionary war, illusionary war. anyway, that will be a hit to our country. so says the former president,

donald trump. okay. now here, you know, i can't help but think when i hear that, yes, it would be, i see it to our country. which sounds exactly like what washington, our country are. politicians do when they freeze the assets of other country when they steal the gold reserves and other countries when they sanction the companies of other countries. and when they threaten other countries from doing business with whatever country we don't watch at the time. joining us now to discuss this is ted rall. he's a syndicated columnist and an officer and an award winning cartoonist also angie wong. she's a co host of the final countdown on radio. sputnik thanks so much guys for joining us. i guess we start there, you know, it's interesting, tad, i'll start with you that the former president will come out and say that this is what i'm going to do. because it's not fair that they would be considering taking out the dollars ation. as i recall, he was responsible for as many sanctions on countries as any other president we've

had recently, wasn't. yeah, he was one of the interesting aspects of donald trump as a political personality, is that he's very, very adept at identifying problems in a way that many other american politicians are not. the problem is, is proposed solutions. and this is one example of that is totally right, but this would be, as you said, in the lee in the intro here, it would be a major problem for the united states. yeah. dollars. they would present some major economic and political challenges. now that says the answer to that is not to come down like a ton of bricks, no pun intended. on the 1st countries, the idea is to go is to lose is to show, is reassure and the world. don't worry, we're gonna unwind the sanctions. really make sure that when you invest in us dollars as a reserve currency or you have your assets tied up in dollar denominated securities, whether they be in europe or the us or somewhere else,

that no one's gonna touch them. your capital will be safe. that your us dollars will be fine, no matter where they are, even if we don't like your politics or we don't like the war that you happen to be involved in. if he does that, he might be able to reverse this trend. but until he but this is the opposite about angie i got one for you this weekend, celebrities, multi millionaires, politicians and members of the corporate media in america all came together to get drunk and to tell each other how, how wonderful they all are. this is called the national correspondence dinner. i'm sure you either attended or heard of this. it's an event which in the past at least a loud and for song dosages of honesty. but this year it was horribly disgusting. it was a share of an event or some dude from saturday night live with a very attractive phase side of that life. for those of you watching us overseas isn't nbc comedy show on saturday nights. so this guy goes up on stage and he tells

everybody what a hot. busy old person, donald trump is and what an incredibly great human being like mother teresa is kind of person, joe biden is. and so when you look at the levels of freedom throughout history and even around the world today, this is the exception. this freedom is incredibly rare. and the journalists in this room help protect that freedom and we can not ever take that for granted the semester president. i thank you for your decency on behalf of my grandfather. and i think all of you, almost all of you for your decency as well. i am very honored and grateful that you invited me here tonight. thank you and good night. pardon me for saying this, but as i watch that i want to vomit in my mouth and i'm sorry,

but the most person ever and those people who are there are also incredibly, incredibly decent. are they really, audrey? oh my goodness, everyone in that room is part of the flight in state media. they're only being invited because they're kind to bite in and that to trump. traditionally the white house correspondents dinner is a roast, usually roasting the president. you have several people going up on stage to take, you know, a silly punch on, you know, the man in charge our commander in chief, but this time, no, let's just, let's just blow a lot of air. like it's just the whole thing is that the fashion was bad, the hair was bad, the speeches were like you like even like today, other not networks are not we publishing what's being said because it was so awful as part of the sweat. but understand everyone in that room is so scared to say anything bad about bite and because they will be just invited from the white house

from this point forward to that, how decent is it to continue a war and ukraine with the poor ukrainians and run out of soldiers and you're doing everything possible to an nile, a population of the country. how decent do you have to be to see israel massacre some 15000 children. apparently kill some 50 that 32. maybe 40, maybe 50. who knows really cuz nobody's really counting. but we have some official numbers, palestinians in gaza. how decent do you have to be to make sure you're the person responsible for making sure that happen? just the question to a look i, i wish i knew how decent you'd have to be to send over a $100000000000.00 in the us taxpayer money over to fight these very complex that you just mentioned. that the same time that here in new york city right outside of my front door there, people literally say. 2 going to american citizens sleeping outside on the street. you're getting no help whatsoever from their government,

presumably that they've paid taxes in to for many years before they hit the skids and fell on some bad luck. now me the mean the joe biden is a decent person. no, he persists, but it is not. there's not much there there. i always think about. 1 yeah, this is a guy who repeatedly lied about how his own wife died. right. like you, he kept claiming that he was killed by a drunk driver. the guy wasn't drunk at all, it was just a lie and he knew and he kept telling the story, not these, the whole thing makes me angry. i was invited once, as you know, i was a, i was, i worked at cnn and i work at nbc and i work in fox and all these places. and i was part of that culture i bought into that culture. but i remember i was invited to go to the correspondence dinner once and i refused. i always felt that if you're a journalist, you shouldn't go get drunk with the people that you are supposed to have. a rival risk relationship with my job is to check you to ask you hard questions,

not to be your body and to see all these people there together, all friendly and telling jokes and patting each other on the backs. the whole thing is wrong. it's not just wrong now, it was ridiculously wrong this year. this is the worst i've ever seen. but it's been wrong for a long time, angie. oh yeah, but they have to put up this play, this whole hollywood production. they have to keep it going. is part of the script you gotta understand, this is the club as you know, and i'm thank you very much, rick, for not being part of that establishment class for doing eye. witness reporting, an old fashioned journalism. not to call you old. i do the same. we are here to be completely unbiased. i know that's not necessarily job security these days in the news room. you know, spacing of that. i'm glad you just took us to where we want to go. because this is, this is the other part of the correspondence dinner that once again made me want to throw up in my mouth when it was present. it biden's turn to speak. this, this guy,

our president, our, our president praised the journalists in the room. most of which make hundreds of thousands of dollars of not tens of millions of dollars in some cases. right? um, reading a teleprompter in some air conditioned office building, but this is how he describes them. pressure and the danger for others is my definition of patriotism and harris the what all you do when you report truth over lives. that's what i want to close and i was my genuine thanks for the free press. there are some who call you the enemy, the people as wrong as dangers. you literally risk your lives, doing your job to

repress, you risk your lives. most of the people in that room, i've never covered a story. most of the people are not in that room. have big offices in new york city or other big places. they're big cities in the united states. most of those people ring teleprompters a for a living and when they don't get out, trust me, i've been there. i was sent to the some of these places with the likes of anderson cooper. they travel with a make up team. they find the hotel room. they have an on draws your people taking care of every one of their needs. they fly in special dinners for them. please aren't correspondence in the old fashioned way that we used to see covering wars in vietnam and korea, etc. that was such a bunch of bull khaki from the president telling these people how brave and how courageous they all are and that they are the so called free press at, pardon me, i was suppose to ask a question here. i didn't to, to you a rick look a,

i've seen a few shots fired and anger when i covered the war in 2001. and that's gonna stay on the 1999 cardinal conflict. 1 i've been to get us in a few times and you're absolutely right. read what you say. you 100 percent. right . the independent journalist who travel hard, many of them, for example, right now, all to 0 reporters, your in gaza for your dad or dad or dad. they've been killed. yeah, that's really party. you know, i've, i've seen major network guy's literally like you said have like ups your pallets of beer ship to them at their special cost wise. that's about supposedly i indoors. i mean, it's a joke. yeah. yeah. and did you want to add something to that? yeah. i mean, of course, a real journalist run to the, at the center of conflict and we cover it. i don't know if anyone in that room has

done that, joe biden on that night could not even like spoon himself. like let us into is now what he's talking about to himself is reading off the teleprompter that evening. i don't think those are actually his. busy words coming out. yeah, well, that's all been fabulously true with almost everything joe biden does, but to be respectful, he's not, you know, a young man so, and to, to also be fair what, what, what yes, i agree. it was a little worse this year than it has been in previous years because they're protecting them so much and they don't want anything to get in the way of his being re elected, i guess. but this thing that they do with this correspondence dinner was a joke during trump, a joke during obama. a joke during bush, a joke during every single president, because that consortium of body body between the press and the media and the politicians long ago there to get drunk together. that's wrong and that's not democracy. despite what this dude from saturday night live, maybe saying ok, sorry, what are we going to next? when we come back?

have you guys seen what's going on all over the country? it's crazy now it's 200 universities. emory university in atlanta and northeastern university. now outside of boston, you see a la, oh it's, it's, it's, it's not a what's going on in these places and we're going to show you more video. busy we're going to show you what's going on with these disturbances and people who apparently don't like mr. biden's prophecies will take you through that stay right there, the there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case for the med, most of the people. i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also a pursuit. this is the 3rd world lunacy re washing press for. so the funder line

likes to say, we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deals to living on mac. we have very good stuff again that you know, a price here in new york. i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. the more questions ask the better the answer is will be the quarterbacks. this is direct impact on average sanchez, i'm gonna show you some incredible video joe mentioned get screened that by voters in a little bit. but before we go to that, i want to try something else this weekend. it's this thing is continuing to grow. it's not stopping tens of thousands of university students all over the country, most of home who don't think joe biden is all that decent, and who oppose the president's very pro war policies dropped in the streets. there were new demonstrations every university in atlanta who knew northeastern

university just outside of boston. that's a new place where this weekend, more demonstration, suddenly broke out university of california in los angeles with mass arrests fights, violin classes with police. this in this thing is not stopping. here's a sampling the, the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, this is really amazing that, uh, you know, i'm old enough to remember uh, the late 19 sixty's. i was a young man of course, but and uh,

i remember the movement back then that was very anti establishment. and me, it seems to be, you know, an act of defiance holding the middle finger to your government and saying what, what you guys are doing is crazy. and it doesn't represent us and stop with these wars and stop killing people and stop sending our money overseas. i mean, obviously, in this case, they're focusing on gaza. but there really is a sense of rebellion that i'm seeing among young people in the united states. like i haven't seen it in g. busy long time. yeah. what's wonderful about those video clips is the police doing their job again. it's night to see the police being police again. you know, as a parent i will tell you i did not send my kid to a $70000.00 a year. tuition for tuition to be a little mini protester. i get it. you want to do that? that's fine. but honestly, i want to go to your graduation next week. i want you to finish up your final this week. that's what i paid for this. this is not good,

i don't like that. i just pay tuition for my kids to be an agent for george soros or whoever is funding this. so you think that the young people in america who are protesting the wars are all just a bunch of communism. martz's and they should be stop that is that, is that what you're saying? i'm trying to understand. i said, oh, sure, i spent a lot of time at columbia and m y u. in the past week, i've been sitting there watching the protesters when talking to them, they're looking for something fun to do as to whether in new york warms up. it's come, you know, people are hanging out there, hooking up their drinking beers. they're having a good time. that's all funding well, but here's the thing. they don't necessarily know what they're protesting. and there's plenty of reporting being done by lot of these protesters. they heard about something called october 7th. so that's as far as it goes, they don't actually know what they're protesting. they're just doing it because it's fashionable. when do you think that they know that there are at least 30000

people who've been massacred in gaza and some 15000 of them are children who really had no political position and that israel has lied at every turn about everything they have done, including killing aid workers in cold blood, do you think maybe they might have an argument when it comes to that? i say that they have heard things and that they've been talking to their friends about it, but ultimately i don't know if they go beyond that. i don't think it goes deeper than not. i don't think they understand the history of what's been going on and cause i get that these are the images that they're seeing every single day in the news and a most friends. but ultimately, i just don't get the sense that they really are in deep with those that they really understand what's going on. so it sounds like you're telling me that you think whatever zeros doing is, is right. you're, you're, you're on the side of israel on this and you think the palestinians are all terrace . now i have, i'm not a fighter on this one. i'm just reporting the news on this one along with 10 roll. we talked about this every day on our show, the final countdown, and i will tell you that i don't have

a position on this and ted knows that i do see i do have a bleeding heart for those who have died and gaza. i think it was terrible. what has happened? i think it's been a mass secure and i think they've completely done demolished most of gaza to the point where the policy ends cannot return. that i get all that i get the politics of it. but these kids are being used as pon, for someone's political agenda. i don't love it because these are young kids. they should be doing the files right now and they should be walking down the aisle for graduation next week. but a lot of them have been cancelled. how about a dead these are just a bunch of us. as angie's a bunch of bunch of spoiled brats who shouldn't go home and uh their cause is really not justified. do you agree with that? the hell. no. all right, it says empty. well, nose looks like energy. i spend some time up at columbia. i have a alumni card, so i can, i'm allowed to go on campus. i talked to the protesters,

the people i talked to were very sophisticated and knowledgeable. um, they had a, they understood the history of sutler colonialism in a former british mandate, palestine they understood the history of the 1967 in the 1973 wars. there should have got a king too under the control of him, off which contrary to right wing talking point was added election. the stall power in a to it comes to about the there's like the i found their knowledge to be extremely sophisticated. they look for the record, if even if they turned out to be a bunch of you know, ignoramuses, but they're just fighting because they're because they thought that, you know, it's bad to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians. that would be fine with me because killing tens of thousands really since they're millions is always wrong . but that's a. 1 that's not the situation with these young people. these are very, i, these are smart welling for

a kid. very impressive. young men and women who are attending in the case of columbia, one of the best colleges mean states. well, okay, moving on to another topic. if there is a spirit of rebellion right now in this country, it's not just targeting the corruption of announcements and universities. it's also targeting politicians. as we have said many times on this program, the vast majority of us politicians, especially those in congress, are on the take. they are paid off legally by the way, by corporations to do their bidding. and right there, at the top of the list is a guy named joe mansion, known for taking 1000000 from corporations to then oppose rights for workers climate active as democratic reform is. in this video you will see some voters confronting him. and this is not pretty for the set of or watch to so the rates use the

the. busy the port type line, which is because it hasn't, nobody's warranty or the 1st to get back on the what, what do you have? what do you think of this one and you do think it's ok to confront a us politician who obviously takes a lot of money from donors, corporations. and i don't think mansion is that different from any of the rest, but he is at the top of the list. or is it okay to do that? yeah, it's always okay to do that because these guys go to office, you know, making a $100000.00 a year and they walk out, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars, you know, rich, sure. and it,

it just doesn't make any sense. so of course it's ok to target a public figure like joe mentioned, look, he should explain how he makes his money. every one of them should. you know, they either, you know, they even do bills around the country. they just pretty much stay true all day. if you make a $100200300000.00 a year, but you're but, but yet you're worth a $30000000.00. 40000000. and they said, what is the drive? see? he drives yeah. and mccardle. what does it, what, what, what did they say he drives to mazda rod is, this is ridiculous. what it? yeah. and it is what it is, and we're out of time, but we'll get you back. this is a great discussion. i'm so glad that we had a chance to share this, and i think these are hard stories that all of us should be talking about my things to tad, my bags, to angie. you guys have been delightful gas. thank you. once again, before we go, i want to remind you of our mission simple, really just to try the side of the world. we've got to stop living and little boxes . just don't live in boxes. truths are everywhere,

it's what we focus on. i'm rec center. busy this is direction the video of alleged abuse by an officer today, a sheriff's deputy in columbia, south carolina, forcibly removed a student from a classroom at spring valley high school. i saw him just talked to her sprained her and initially, you know, i didn't think is a problem because i knew that she was just is quite a student in the class. someone looked at the police officer and says, here as law enforcement that is worse. clearly attacking, abusing power and it ended, there are no others besides, this is what's wrong with us for leaving a discipline black church, he was there in for single law, the meat of the crime, to quote,

disturbed schools in any way that means any disturbance that any kids causes in school is by using force is never pretty for necessary. a tops people were never gonna change your mind so people will never change their minds about the video. they think i was wrong, and that's it. the agencies able to be, i think, to be 5 the eddies sponsor to the human. so need the, all the guys us 3 international organizations that sounds the along the same monetary and crisis thing going is that with the un quoting attention to the 13000 children killed, then just the pomp in here, $100.00 it was supposed to be made within 10 days of police continue to class with american university students, demonstrating about mobile involves that we hear from us screen policy to chat,

those and margaret elizabeth think it really highlights the hypocrisy that the democratic party and indeed the republican party as well in body. they will tell us
