the defense you have to knowingly and intelligently breaks the law. how can you, knowingly and intelligently break the law when you're under the influence of drugs, which you're not supposed to be when you purchased a weapon. so to with nick is defense is to admit that he violated it. so it's a very complicated case that could have been avoided by merely pleading guilty and just be done with this. i don't understand what they were trying to accomplish. well, i mean, it's interesting, we've seen all the single that cool case in parallel with donald trump and that has boosted his ratings. and it's really saying his hard coupons, kind of co last around him, home to buy didn't send, say, to mid october a couple of weeks before the presidential elections. do you think that this cool case will have the same positive impact on job items campaign? i listen, the answer is c, a radically know in the case of president trump,

the ferry, the theme is that look how they are using what ways refer to as law, fair versus war affair. look how the or what, but now using the criminal justice system to get a political opponent, look what they're doing for a criminal cases. all of them baseless, that's the argument and the case it in the case of, of joe biden, son is, this isn't going to help because what other people are saying is, he should be lucky. that, that's all he's being charged with. it's a different, it's a different theory, it's a different c. oh good. and all of which could have been avoided and completely eliminated by not only the 12th, but this goes to show you that simply this, this new world that we're living in. as a prosecutor, we don't need any more wiretaps surveillance of confidential with a form for me to give me your phone. do you have me to your phone as people we see

it all the time. people have such an addiction to chronic living. every single thing they do, and between you and me, if you're tapping away, trying to get ahold of your drug dealer coughing to your beloved sitting boy, this addiction is really what do you, where do you think this is going? it's as though we have been loaded into this world of privacy. there's not big price, but it doesn't seem, it doesn't cease to amaze me. so there are privacy issues later on and people think about, but the bottom line, just simply just the course. this is political look at the time and does the judge speed up the sentencing to allow him to, to be done with this to try to position it so that it doesn't look like it's coming before the convention and before that, um and then what about his rights, shouldn't he have all the rights available to, to, to, to, to develop his defense and his sentencing. so just, and by the way, there is another one coming in california for dealing with the taxes and the like.

so she's not out of the woods yet by any stretch of generic golf. so i've sold this son. it's less than stock number adult movement in american politics out was line no legal on media on this. thanks so much for your time. thank you. i'm not is to buy it from watson most go for now. we'll see you soon. the ok, here we go. hi everybody. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. and this is what we're going to be talking about. you know, high and we must end the war and ukraine and not escalate it further and further. this is madness, madness mad because that's what austria's defense minister is calling the permissible bombing of russia by the us, germany and france. i'm rick sanchez. let's do it.

the okay, so here's what's going on. some us and nato countries are playing a very dangerous game with chicken right now with the russian president vladimir putin, presidents by them. a crown had been especially adamant about this thing, right? some would argue mad about this thing in their decision to give you crazy missiles to fire into russia. here's the point. you want to make a nuclear superpower angry. telling me you're going to be attacking his people with missiles and just see what happens. let's see what happens. this happens button is now saying essentially, okay, you're going to take my country well to can play that game. the 3 is the, in the end, say, if we see that these countries become involved in a war against us, what they are doing makes them directly involved in a war against the russian federation. we reserve the right to act the same way

overall. it leads to some serious problems less. we reserve the right to act the same way here that look, there's a lot more to talk about when it comes to president clinton's warning. and i'm going to bring you that in just a moment. but 1st i wanna show you something else, natal reaction from those, and really disagree with their peers, and really disagree with the united states, the french and german decisions to allow the bombing of russia. i'm going to start with the austrian defense minister. her name is claudia tanner saying the west has crossed a red line. that's her. here's another one. this is us politicians. this is vivek ramos swami. we all got to know during the republican debates. he's on twitter calling, buying, and others who want to do this morning at 6. he says they loan and texas starting to sound like they want a full on a fence on russia. he's right. here's german left. when i call, no sarah wagner. she says,

western leaders are playing with fire for wanting to allow their missiles to attack wash. it was hurt. at some point, they will be a point where something happens. what does, i'll see what happens then. it's so terrible that you don't want to imagine it. and that's why we can only appeal to everyone who bears responsibility and our country and in other western countries to stop playing with fire stopped playing with fire . she says, meanwhile, i decided to go to havana this weekend to do some independent reporting. what i found there was a lot of agreement with mr buttons position, which seems to be sensible. now, cuba, just 90 miles from the us, has long had a friendly relationship with moscow. and it may be the most perfect place for putting to make his point about the fact that 2 can play this game of the missional fire. and right. and lo and behold, look what showing up in havana. see that right there? it's a nuclear powered submarine cause i'm, it's called, i think it's cause them,

i'm not sure about the pronunciation, seen here, and images, etc, as well as the frigate emerald gorge. golf is 2 vessels to a 4 by the way, arriving, and how about and the next couple of days. none are caring nuclear weapons. thank god. but they are planning on conducting military exercises in the caribbean. and what certainly seems to be a message that's being sent by the russian president along with his cuban allies. now, to be fair, i reached out to cuban officials, and they told me that this is no big deal. don't. over reported russian ships. i've always been going to cuba, they've been doing so for decades. but, and that's what he says, given the geo politics of the moment. it's hard to avoid the optics. now, what you're wearing a lot of people around the globe regarding what this, what this could, which is could leading to my god we approaching another missile crisis has occurred

in the 19 sixty's between the us and back then the soviet union. i mean manila, what do you make of this? well, rick, i mean, we can call this the cuban missile crisis to point out. but the problem is, we have joe biden as president and he has certainly no j, f, k. but the russians are, are right. i would say to play this game of muscle flexing because look, this is in response to us meddling. i am thankful that this is all that they are doing. let's be clear, the u. n. is it flexing in russia's orbit? it's beyond pastoring at this point. what the us and collective west is doing is flat, out, seen as a physical threats to russia. it's an existential threat to their national security . breeding nato weapons along their, their western border and creating these hostile relations with their neighbors. not only creates an impediment to economic progress, but poses a physical threat to russia, sovereignty. but here's the difference. rec,

the cuban missile crisis back then, me was fraught with, i would say far more risk then it poses today based on modern technology intelligence. there's less worried that the cause i'm sub will be subject to any sort of misunderstanding or, or missteps with the world above water like that sub in the 19 sixty's. of course, the u. s. is gonna spin this into some sort of escalation. the fact of the matter is russians, russian relations with the island have always been good. yeah. and just this past year, rick, a 100 russian companies have launched business operations in cuba. so in the past with the course i agree with you, i, i think give your point is that there seems to be more show than go i think you're right. i, i think there's a lot of show here though, and at what point does a guy like vladimir put and turn the show into a go and i know people on both sides who are looking at this and they're worried

and they shouldn't be worried. i mean, this is getting to the point where a couple of wrong moves are wrong. decisions can take us to a point, essentially speaking, once again, where we don't want to be mean by the way, meanwhile, or there's something i couldn't help. but notice as i was reading through, uh, news breaks uh, just this weekend and, and it's got me thinking about the elections in india. remember, we're talking about the elections of india last week. and it's this question. why does it seem to me like the west, the southerly, celebrating motor re modi's a prime minister modi's electoral defeat? i mean, i know he didn't lose because he still, but it was kind of a defeat right. for 1st, here's a somewhat humbled modi giving his acceptance speech. after all, he won just not by as much as he was supposed to advice. so let's listen. so that will be i the renter a demo dollars moody issue. i swear in the name of god, the high will bear true faith and origins to in these constitution as established

by law on it. so i and a few others have been perusing the new york times, the washington post the economist, the financial times, lamond deutsch. well, the wall street journal, france, 24 bbc, others, western, you know, media giants. and it's hard to not notice that there seems to be an orchestrated campaign against moti. all of a sudden then his re election attacks them also come from the us international commission on religious freedoms. redone and sweden, the george songs foundation. interestingly enough, and the us state department, the why literacy, let's see on gaza. right, manila, marty has continued to support a 2 state solution and as sided with the un general assembly against israel. now that that's not what washington wants, right. and, and him ukraine. india has continually remain neutral if anything, maybe cited slightly, a little more. citing with russia while. busy still buying it's gas and you know,

other energy products that is especially not what suited wants. the funny thing about the story and the reason i wanted to bring it to your attention is how parallel what the western media coverage is to exactly what the state department seems to be saying and demanding how that works. what a coincidence? correct to. so right, i mean, as we discussed last week, moody and the b j. p, they still won a when is a, when is a when they just didn't? when bagley, as trump would say, if you want a super bowl by just a field goal, you still when the super bowl. yeah, but the, the us mainstream media spin machine, as we know, is simply an extension of the state. it's access journalism in effect, in a state sponsored media, laundered through private sector interest phase for media is,

is mostly at this point's tanagra 1st for the us government and, and india. and that's led by moti insures some level of stability in the global south. remember, the eye in bricks is india. yeah, of course he wants to keep his country fair and neutral when it comes to russia, ukraine. it's in the interest of his country to maintain a, a balanced approach regarding the are in bricks that make sense and motives position on gaza. reflects basically 90 percent of the world, whether those countries are represented in the u. n or not. but even those wrapped in the un like the u. s. those are pointed representatives aren't even speaking honestly for the, the feeling that the american people have most americans are not on board with this ongoing assault on gaza on india. and this is, is speaking as a true representative of what their constituents are actually feeling that's,

that's a great point that you make it just a fantastic point that you make about them actually being state tv. because it seems, in my lifetime, after having worked at all of the networks from fox and cnn, the nbc, etc, even univision, that it's, it's gotten worse and worse, more and more. i see them parenting essentially, parenting exactly what it is that the administration or the government or the state department of the see i want them to say and how sad, right? because i'm not, that's not. that doesn't mean the state department is always wrong. state of pharma does a lot of good things, but they shouldn't be in the business of running what anderson cooper says every night because i'm, we're not getting any information. and how in the hell can most people say we, for example, is a tv or some other entities, just a tv when a better example of say, tv, than anybody in the world right now. there you go. i said what i want to say, and i'm glad i did it, and i'm glad you're going to be out of bags. vanilla will talk to you again. little bit, you got it. when we come back is one of the country's most outspoken advocates for

human rights and it served as the council for bosnia and has it a governor? do i say that? right? because the governor, he will speak, we will speak cousins, a with university of illinois. professor francis anthony boyle, who says there is a direct tie by the way between the natal actions that we're seeing now historically and the war and ukraine don't go away. he's good. we'll be right back, [000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to cross the full board. here we discuss the wheel and the

okay, welcome back. let's continue this conversation numbered sanchez, the note and professor of international law counsel francis anthony boyle recently said that the conflict in ukraine can be directly tied to essentially what became intentional or not a live once expressed by the secretary of state. james baker. during the 1st bush administration, 1st of all joins us now to take us through how we got to the place where we are now . professor, thanks so much for joining us, sir. a. thank you very much for having me. i'm looking my best your heart and thank you. i didn't go through that. you say it was all about baker a. what he said, the turned out to be a lie. why and what not? well, i read secretary state jim baker under bush. she made a promise to uh, sophia premier corporate strong that if he agreed to the unification of germany,

all that the nato alliance would not expand one inch to the east. uh, and on that uh, agreement uh, corporate charles went along with a re certification journey. no, let me point out. uh, 2 points, one. uh, some scholars have contested the paper promise, but the national security archives has a comprehensive study. you can look at of the promise case and not only bar baker bought part, also uh, european foreign ministers and prime ministers to v o salvi cup and at the time number 2 fodder international law improvements are binding. as a matter of international law providers. they are made up by high level

government officials acting within the scope of their reform, which secretary baker. oh dear. now president bush senior. i seem to honor that promise, but when president clinton came to power, he immediately proceeded to all violated by expanding nato to east. oh, and that then brings us up to v. o. u r. sponsored food, a tall against a democratically elected government uh holds. you look right, but put that together for us. so a lot of people in our audience are saying, okay, how do you get the ukraine from their draw, the roadmap for us for how it is one day. baker says to uh, garbage of who i interviewed by the way, at one point and that we're not gonna expand one inch. and all of a sudden we're practically starting. busy or 3 because of ukraine,

what ukraine got to do with that well, was part of the, the all plan to expand data rate up to the russian board. sure. me. and it moved to inevitably starting with clinton, then in 2008 bush junior said that he wanted to incorporate georgia and ukraine in today. go up uh bush junior, encouraged all the soft gosh dealing company in georgia. we pack russian peacekeepers and its also send you setting off the war there. and on the 3rd, then they continued with their show a policy with ukraine finally culminating in the 20040, cool. against the democratically elected governor of the crate and installing the regime. we see there today. so if we were, if we had

a mac in front of us right now where we don't, but you can almost put a map together in our heads as we look at. and everybody has a map of europe in their heads. everybody knows pretty much we're russia is you, if you draw all essentially and you start coloring in professor everything from germany toward russia, you start to see that suddenly a stony log, the pole, and all these countries in that area right there. suddenly start getting filled in as nato colors all the way up to the border. the only thing that's really missing is that little piece in the bottom. and that you crane. right? that's correct then. oh, oh, you have to understand they don't versions key of signal urgency had the song, spoke the grand chest for that. uh ukraine was the key here for going after russian. sorry, we thought ukraine,

his opinion was in russia was last year. so we're seeing the continuation of these policies here. that's excellent, that's amazing content. that's funny cuz i mean you have so many electro let the savings that relate back to brzezinski as well as even henry kissinger. i mean, that's how formidable, how experienced you are you, you, you've watched this happen. so that 2014 attempted cool, or i should say, cool fomented by the united states. do you think i can put you in mister putin's head? but do you think that's what took him and the rush of leadership over the brink, where they said ok, but that, that is just a bridge too far in that moment. that's where they started thinking. we've got to block this from happening. we're not going to let you create to be taken away. well, let me say this during this entire crisis from the cool until today,

hyphen clinton has acted as best he can cool collected. you'll know she did agree after the cool to go along with the uh, minutes agreement. mm hm. i need you to read the bench agreements. uh, provided that don't bosh those 2 provinces. the nation regard would remain parish of you, craig, but with a federal structure of government along the lines that we have here in the united states of america. but it is clear that the president, the whole lot of german chancellor of herself, others have admitted. that means was just the stall job on the president for it was not a reasonable good faith negotiations. and in the meantime, they were arm ukraine to the teas. tornado states. oh, which is

a dear heart problem. did go along with the main score cards and it was uh, the american nato states that they basically deceived them. what do you say to those who work as i would say? i don't know if you heard my conversation with my know a little while ago, but i think to a certain extent, a lot of people in the news media in the united states today, just parents, whatever they're told to say by the state department. but one of these arguments that's apparent it is that the united states must do this. nato must do this in ukraine because of not russia putting in particular wants to go back in and take over europe and take the rest of ukraine. and that he's just as unbelievably crazy romping at the mouth expansionist. what do you say to that argument? its total square mockery. i don't think anyone who has studied the history of uses the soviet union or russia seriously as an objective matter would go along with that. yes, you're right. are 5,

went through the same ph. d program at harvard to produce brzezinski before me. and i did offer both sylvia politics and russian history on my ph. d. oral general examinations at harvard, the clock to qualify me to teach those 2 subjects time don't to graduate. that's not my reading of the record. who was provoked here. indeed, before the, you know, here's special military operation and she calls it, of ukraine. she did offer to treaties one to nato and one to the united states to try to circle this matter. i read those for you, sir. very reasonable. the goal shall treat each indeed, half the time for mister love. ross publicly stated that what we really want here is a commitment that frame will knock troy off needle and will remain

a neutral state. that's really what we want. and i regret to, for the bible ministration, actually refuse to negotiate in good faith with the russian government over these 2 treaties. yeah, here with today. yeah, i think that's a fascinating point. let me switch gears with you for just a bit, because i know you're also writing an awful lot and commenting an awful lot of what's going on right now in the gaza. over the weekend. it appears that 2 of the big war cabinet guys there included gaps been against in, um, in, in, in, in, in israel have apparently they're walked away or they're quitting or they're, i'm not sure what they're doing. but the, the, this, this possible between the minutes and yahoo apparently and his work cabinet has been increasing for some time. now, what do you think is, is going on in, in this dynamic and what might be, it's the fact it will be

a set price. i mean that uh, netanyahu will be uh, completely dependent on these extremist hardliner uh, jewish fundamentalist uh, in his work camry. i got the gear many severe tasks voltage piece. that's it. he has to rely upon them to stay in power. so things might get worse. i don't really see them getting better as for dance. i think he's a positioning himself for the next elections over there as an alternative to i'm not a yahoo. so you're saying that? i mean, how could that, could you just, you just said you think things can get worse as a result of what happened over the weekend? my goodness, for the sake of the palestinians, how much worse can a get? you are correct. ricky could get a lot worse. uh uh, we have $36000.00 that are the minimum $10000.00 dead uh,

under the rubble. uh hi. advise the panels from their peace process. and a new government came to power. uh, tore up the tray a piece, negotiations. grievance are we working on and starting in january of 2009 to may of 2009, the exterminated 246000 pounds. so i regret to say things to get a walk was here and what we see uh we received it. if you take a look at it, the by the ministration is completely on board with what? uh, nothing yahoo is doing here. i haven't seen him not exercise any, any restraint of but there it is. yeah. a lot of people are saying that they're glad to see these guys go. that's interesting. you with your experience are saying this is not something that will probably bode well. the final question on this iran, what,

what is the specter given what's going on now with the fighting on the northern front with has bola that iran will pick up the pace or to speak and that we could be seeing a real conflagration between these 2 countries. it's extremely dangerous, what's going there on the nose or boulder of israel, if israel warranties what even today is reported the new york time to call for preemptive tech attack. on webinar, it could be disastrous, not just for the people's webinar, but also the people of the future. personally, i think that has, paula has a lot of independent agency here and they are not up on for a ram door is nor is how much they make their decisions on their own. but of course they, they do get support from outside, just as israel gets mastering support from pack it. states government from the

outside while francis anthony boyle experience. and certainly a man is intellectually curious and has the writings and the connections to understand the politics of our world right now. and what a pleasure it's been to have you take us through it in ways that make it easy for us to be able to understand and then maybe just kind of get on our next for go to bed at night and pray that this thing can work itself out, professor and you're a delight. thank you, sir for taking us through this. we appreciate it. thanks, barbara. thanks look forward to having you back. that's our show. remember, i always look outside your own box when it comes to troops, cuz we don't believe troops live in little boxes that only you can maybe relate to another parallel world truths are everywhere. so that's what we believe i'm rick sanchez,

will be looking for you. next time. the need to know is that the goal is to see the sheep learn and the polio and gather all of you. and later to feed the russian, people and government smokers, top tip and not so gay law brawls pulls out the west of fueling the new crane saying it has no limits. and the methods this using the home russia file size washington, let's say it's a long time find on, on a new cranes near not see as old pre gave described previously criticizing the group for glorious records of human voice attempted and a canadian court ruled ukraine international airlines in pain so it's,
