up sending the wrong message to the outside world. us me some of these also the us awesome. know the result. stupid. has been signed by the president yet, but essentially what this is showing not re engage with the bathroom, need to re engage with them. they are trying something that we cannot let them get away with. now in the spirit of his holiness, i'll be gracious to the chinese people. i don't know that they're up to this, but we do know that the chinese government is and we do know that they must get the message. and this legislation sends the message, the house and the senate, and soon to be signed by joe biden. the president of the united states country, boston, yours for different countries. what does that mean? it simply means that it holds no significance, no bearing one shot. no. so this means guns. these,

the full duty driving to the us. he's going to put a nice so to be the all new designed engagements that i'm q again, whether there would be any formal meetings with the us officials he will be the us back, you know, to be all to this point the that believes in the one china policy, india, that has been a facility for this particular meeting of the west of decent in that of shawna for now has been quite thanks to the company here and i'll see international coming up next. rick sanchez with the latest episode of direct impacts office back in 30 minutes with more needs the the. here we go, everybody. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. and this is what we're going to

be talking about. the that's impressive, isn't it to look, no, they're not applauding for me. president put in is welcome. like a conquering hero. i know what you're thinking, right? sure. of course he is. it's north korea. they have to apply. i get it. but there's more of this than just the applause. i promise you. i'm going to tell you what it is. i'm rick sanchez. let's do this thing the . all right, let's take a look at this one more time here real quick. what you're about to see is the reception the russian president bush gotten young young. he had been there since 2000. is he really going there because he needed for people to apply to him? no, not really. but here it is. the

you pick somebody just one of the super bowl. right? so here it is to be fair. you are, i would probably have gotten a similar applause in a country that is very afford terry, and let's face it with president clinton did not go there to receive a message. he went there to deliver a message and be seen with that man. and the message he's delivering is meant to be seen and heard by members of nato. and it's pretty much what he said recently that his message would be. it goes something like this, and these are my words not hits. if you attack my country, if you send muscles into my country, if you kill my people, if you threaten to some seniors and you work with perhaps these to go after my country. well then i to have proxies. i do have missiles, i do have friends, and i do have assets that i can use and do something similar to you than what

you're doing to me. that is why a vladimir pete who sent ships the matter that is why he suddenly doing military drills in the caribbean. and that is why we suddenly see him in north korea. that's my analysis. by the way. this is what i believe is going on is what i believe that we're seeing mr. brewton and north korean leader kim jong did also sign a comprehensive, strategic product yesterday where they're pledging to come to each other's aid and case. i wonder what definitely going about in case there was a military attack on either country. so that that's the news headline per say. here's something else i wanted to share with you. what is the us state departments spin on mr. putin's visit to young young? well, they put out a statement saying that russia is illegally getting weapons and ammunition from

north korea. and that, that's just not kosher is what they seem to be saying. which is, i thought, interesting when i was given the, you know, here's the state department complaining that he's getting weapons from another country that he might use when we're giving weapons to a country that they are already using. in fact, they're firing missiles into russia. it just seems silly, but it is what it is your reaction. all right, well, so a couple of things here. i think your assessment is pretty accurate. it's pretty fair. look at the, the north koreans made such a hub above about this because like you said, it's been almost a quarter century since any russian leader which is vladimir putin has been there. so can drone hasn't been ruling that long. so this is the 1st for him to host the russian leader. that's why you know, the, the big hub. but on this new security pack, we have to 1st underscore that this is strictly a defense packs of mutual aid and assistance. should one or the other come under

attack? this is not very different than pledges that were made under the seo the shanghai cooperation organization. when you 1st came into force back in 2023. so it's kind of like seo white. what the, why didn't foreign policy has effectively done here. rick is further divide the world rather than bring it together, you know, with the increased use of sanctions rather than dialogue with states that the us deeds hostile and then we thought totally different tack, right? coming from trump like him or hate them. he made waves by visiting the dmc and then stepping over the line and the north korea proper. i think moves like that. show the greater strength of your nation and resolve than a bullying move. yeah. like we've seen bite in take over and over the state department can make whatever claims it wants, but russia has shifted their economy and needs of production to a war footing, which means ramped up production of materials needed to fight. the us is just angry rec, that russia doesn't buy american made weapons and they are jostling with russia to

be the top supplier of arms around the world. that's really the beef here. my, my point, i agree with everything you said. my point is this was less about king john moon, this was less about p on yang. this is less about signing that in, i guess, important decree, they sign. this is more about message sending on the part of vladimir put in the kremlin and rush out to the world that says to who can play at this game. and i think that's kind of where we are right now. probably. but by the way, europe is punishing china now to with a crazy tariff. i don't know if you've heard about this, but so it's, it's about 40 percent on their newly designed electric cars. so china is making these eaves right. uh, the e u is telling the chinese no way are you allowed to ship your cars into europe with without us putting some crazy tariff on it. so what i'm trying 40 percent, that's almost half right. so now i'm trying no seems to be saying okay,

to can play a bad game as well. so basically, i'm just considering hitting europe with a tariff on their own. a tariff on pork products. china gets half of its pork products from europe, especially spain. that would hurt farmers and other small businesses. here's the european commission spokes person. all but daring china to go ahead and do this. this port care of. if they want to hear it is, we're not the least fit for each because not all the subsidies are the same. and any subsidies that take place under the common agriculture of the policy, or indeed in any other policy area in your opinion, are strictly in line with our w. 2 obligations. and we put the strongest possible emphasis on ensuring that this is the case is obviously not a farmer. i mean it easy for him to stay private. you don't care. what about the poor guy in spain as though it was a big farm road, suddenly going to have no business? oh, so what ever happened?

a fair trade and democracy and open markets. i'm just asking manila as well. we already know that there's farmers protest happening all across the e u, and it's not for nothing. and so they can view this as a tit for tat if they want. china's argument to this whole thing is simply that the was dumping their pork products into the chinese market. now, this week, just this week, the chinese ministry of commerce launched an investigation into these practices that could last up to 18 months. a chinese, a fall se they have levied complaints with the world trade organization, which both chinese and w t o rep say they, they are request needs both parties, criteria for such an investigation. a copy of that complaint was actually made public by the ministry of commerce, of choosing the port industry of creating over capacity or over supply, we might say, and benefiting from those huge subsidies. but he was just talking about,

which they say has impacted china's domestic pork industry. now on the flip side, the you tap level such a complaint against the chinese e b's. because those are only just beginning to roll out into the global market, right. but i want to share something else with you now. um during the segment during our morning editorial meeting this morning. as we are preparing this show and we always have these very involved conversation where everybody gets to share their opinions, some members of my team, our team, and these are people's, the people that i trust. and i think the world of and, and that are very smart they, they told me i should not run the segment that i'm about to show you. they said don't, don't run this, this is stupid. and, and the reason they said this is because the guy you're about to see is a guy named many hassan. this guy was fired by m as nbc, 1st, centrally telling the truth, which makes me like him. because i was fired by cnn for essentially telling the truth. but here's what members of my staff,

our staff here on this show direct impact set. they say that. 1 this is a good the about this guy that you're about to say, mary, has that they say that he rarely cared about u. s. foreign policy abuses. why did effect in other countries even supported, for example, what the u. s. has been doing and ukraine, but yet when it comes to palestine because he has relationships there and, you know, adheres to that particular um, id, ology. his pro state department stands suddenly changes drastically. maybe a fair criticism. i think people should be allowed to have different opinions and even be wrong about some things and maybe be right about something else. so many hassan, i believe is right on israel. and, and this take down of is really commentators at an online debate. and i think it's legit and i think it's worth watching. so here it is. let me just deal with something you just said. you talked about the bunk from from beyond the front door

. you caught it and it's really a propaganda straight. these are the government's own security agencies. shouldn't that investigated what you just said? and no, we found no evidence. the work is from dollars or more involved in the october some of the time. all right, let me finish when you know, 5 minutes before your time. okay. that's, that's, that's true. let me just deal with your wifi to point here. the question, do i want to make some time to bit of october? i get it as harsh. but that's something to debate to, to me. it was my side of it. it tells you a lot that they couldn't find any arguments to say as giddeons as why we can't be allowed to criticize a political ideology to the 150 adults. that many jewish people have criticized in the beginning and continued to do so. they come to tell you why that is. so they focus on october the 7th, which is fine. but if you're going to focus on top of something, also focus on what happened since october, the 7th, the razor of palestinians, and this debates. the boeing when didn't mention is what happened to palestinians? shameful, i'm sorry to say it's absolutely shameful in telling about what the friend of mine american doctor goes to god the many don't to the building because you've seen them

on them use their own lives. and how mazda bartley from them, i went to gaza. if you'd be interested on, he doesn't just use it for one of out of the month. douglas, you've been to sit on. he's been on the studies what that he turned back from gallagher and said, i've never seen the trustees. like i've seen him. this is the children, this is the disease or children with bone wounds like you've never seen children with drama, so points to that head to the head, but that's almost as full everything. if i'm off the call. so let's talk about it is amazing that every human rights group in the world including is really human rights. who like best selling data. yes. but always documenting this stuff, but you guys think it's all imaginary. so then it tells you about what side isn't. is this is not about some abstract ideology of, you know, people trying to settle the land in front of it, but of didn't get even said it was an argument to be had in the 194030 for the zionism today is what the listed in, during during on a daily nightly basis in the, in the west. thanksgiving is truism in israel itself. i mean,

razor of that tells you everything about why we need to be able to talk about what scientism does to the public opinion without being familiar with the mc. somebody you look he, he may be wrong on some things. i'm sure i am to, but that's a very convincing argument that he just made right there. i played you about a minute and 45 seconds of it. he goes on for about 4 minutes. i would encourage you to go see it, listen to it because it, it, the man has something to say. i don't know. 4 we're down to about a minute and a half for the segment manila, did you want to take this? take us out on this? well, 1st of all, hot damn, looks like many got his group back on this one read apart from medi being. the number 2 russia gate are behind rachel matto on m as in dc. he's got this hot take on guys and for sure that he's inconsistent on his foreign policy views. he's been very sustained care pointing out, you know, the non partisan aid organizations who are calling this agenda side and calling for immediate ceasefire. and i agree that there is

a difference between being critical as the is really government and being an anti semitic somebody. i think the distinction needs to be made. and because one is simply a political discourse, right. and the other is racism. you cannot conflict the to saying benjamin netanyahu is a jerk, is not the same thing as saying you hate old jews. and i've heard you say the jewish rabbis say similar things about zionism and judaism that zion is a, is a geo political hijacking under the guise of religion. and then we try to do here and why people all over the world say they like watching our show is because we try and be as transparent as possible. i am not going to can them someone for their ideology on something i disagree with. it's ok. you can be wrong and it's from wrong that we often get to right. and if it takes many a little longer than the rest of us to understand the world in total and not just

the israeli palestinian conflict correctly, then. so be, it will be sitting here waiting mattie, in fact, you're welcome to come on their show and talk to us to manila, not about this. how's that? very fair. thank fair. thank you. all right, so listen, when we come back, i'm going to talk to somebody who just returned from ukraine and you're going to be surprised here. what she saw, what she visualizes and what she shares about places were told are not the way she saw them. i'm going to put this all together for your it's eva bartlett. she's going to join us in just a little bit to talk about this. don't go away. the, the, there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case of 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 cars for so the funder line

likes to say we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deals to help me living on campus very quickly propaganda. 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 a better. the answer is will be the one that you attempt to collect as exit amount, especially for the show event, it will be a job to loss any cause of a dish. uh into this is the template to separate the setup button and not the printer doesn't want to lose it after that. if i see the media and let it be focused on you to reason to just say with the city, the new country, companionship, us,

and they're going to be presented as for the work you've done. stimulus the industry is little less money in the front of sales, really left. so should william farmer shots, monuments, so we have court car store to go over what decisions in my lab and what was that man? it was a what was, i mean, digging low funds, i put in the midst of them one today and but you know, so that's what it is that you want to set. i'm sure those are pretty short journals on patient data for she's kim, those are the best. do what i mean, there's a corporate push out the you are welcome back. i'm rick sanchez. you know, it's funny. we were just talking about how we always try to be really transparent on the show. well, continuing the path of transparency. i had just promised you a while ago that we were going to do this really good interview. i've been looking forward to doing with a reporter. her name is eva bartlett. and eva has been following the story and

covering it courageously. right there on the border between ukraine and russia. in fact, she's filed some recent reports from mario poll. i'm area pool is that port city right on the edge of ukraine? that is now really more a part of russia ever since it's conflict again, it's currently controlled by russian forces. what's fascinating about this is that the media has reported this as a city under siege, where the people are miserable and the people are extremely unhappy and the people are apparently priced. uh, and the city is in raleigh. and so she, this reporter who i was about to talk to her name is, eva bartlet went there with their camera and shot videos of what it's like in that city. we have some of that video. let me show to the

does that look like a city under? so usually people are miserable and everyone is suffering, etc, etc. and probably not. as a matter of fact, according to her reporting, everything there has been the tranquil and the people are just getting by of their lives. and most of the people there relate more to their russian heritage and dependency than they do to their ukrainian descendants. because of the particular geographical part of russia that, that is so you know what, what once again, i mean, i'm not trying to make a big deal out of this. is it shows once again that the stories that we often get are not exactly as things are now for the transparency part. uh, for some reason she was on with those moments ago and we were about to do an interview with her, but it dropped out. i don't know, we're going to reach back out to her and see if we can get her. and if we don't get her today, we're going to get her tomorrow or the next day. but we've lost communication with

eva, and we're not able to do the interview. so i'm bringing back up my partner in crime here. manila to talk about this. um, fascinated me. rick, you always got me. it's the most loyal, dependable partner i could have in this business. it's funny to see that video is and i always wonder, you know, does it look like gaza, that part of russia where russian troops of movie, because we're told it looks just like gaza. what an actuality, the neighbors don't say that i'm here now we have eva courageously going there with their camera shooting the city and saying this is not a city under so huge. all right, so i watch that whole video and actually at certain points of the video, you can see on the streets outside of stores, they have russian flags on the outside, not even ukrainian flags and russian flags. at one point i saw a soviet flag, but you know, that's a different story. but yeah, this is life continuing where,

you know, we hear in the western media over and over and over that all rushes full scale invasion, full scale invasion. but seriously compare what's going on with god that yes to what you're seeing in egos videos. i mean this is like, this is like woman on the street, right? she's walking around with her own camera and she's safe. she's, you know, not being bombarded. she's walking into the restaurants, walking up and down the street. as you can see right there in the video. totally save people. it's serene. there's people standing on the street life has moved on. it is not under siege, but i say rick, the reason main stream us media in particular, and you k media. why they want people to believe that, you know, like the whole of ukraine is a blur obliterated. is because they need to continue this. yeah. financial scheme of taking everybody's tax dollars and bundling it over there. but you make

a great point when you mention garza and the fact that there are people here in the area pool who are actually waving in front of their houses, their choice, the russian flag. i'm sure there's people there also waiving the ukrainian flag, they have it right away. whatever flag they want, but i guarantee you they're not a lot of people and guys are waiting. there's really black, just daring to the whole lot of people and doesn't waiving the b b is this really flag? and the reason i say about it is not so much to make the comparison. but because here's my thought process on this and, and, and i think it's really important because uh, has served as a reckoning for the world and for many around the world to wonder why the united states is telling them the stories about what's going on a new crane because i would, if i was just an average world citizen and not you know, manila or rec, doing a television newscasts, where i'm paid to share these opinions and investigate these, these truths. i would say to myself, well,

if they're lying to us about what's going on and guys, and they're telling us that they're just going in there and killing him. us, when we can see with our own eyes that they're killing a lot of innocent people, then why should i believe what they're saying about your crap? this is kind of like the lynch. can you know the turning point? garza and what's happening and gaza has manifested itself almost as a pivotal point in the situation in ukraine. do you, do? you do get you get my drift on? yeah, i mean really if, if you really compare the language that's used in western media when i mean for how many years now have we heard the places in palestine being called the occupied territories. right. that's for a reason. and when you look at the occupied territories, they are an absolute misery because they're like open air prisons that the real estate agent have lived under for several decades. but then you compare, i mean,

this video, i mean the freshest video coming out of mario apple from eva bartlett. you see that you can call mario full occupied by the russians. but, i mean, yeah, that look. and it's all good. and here's an, here's forget the pictures. all right, let's suppose somebody stage that right, they didn't, by the way, but let's just suppose, right. forget the pictures. let's just talk statistics. we now know that there are nearing the $40000.00 mark of civilians and palestinians that have been killed since the israelis began their attack after october 7th, which was somewhat legitimate for them to be angry about what happened on october 7th. and to try and take out numbers of them off. but 36 to 40000 people are not members of them us. we know that. so let's compare that number. let's suppose it's 36 and not yet 40 of how many people have the russians killed since they are

invasion of ukraine. the number that you when use is, is less than 10000. so in one case you have 10000 millions that may have died in one right. familiar by not come buttons and on the other. and by the way, the russians have been fighting this war for a lot longer than the israelis have been fighting and gaza. so in one case you've got 10000 and then the other one you get close to 40000. hello. i mean, which one is more of a siege, then the other? right. and we hear the language continually being used against russia as full scale invasion, full scale invasion. well, if that's a full scale invasion, and we look at the numbers that you have just pointed out that what do you call what's happening in gaza? is that not a full scale invasion? it is not a, is rarely special military operation. if there is no exacting and precise movement by the military, it seems indiscriminate. and we even have

a number of how many is really, is had been killed by is really forces in, in this whole madness that's been happening. and you look at to a little over 2 years of what's happening in ukraine. the conflict that still ongoing, of course, it's sad. it's tragic that hundreds of thousands of lives between both sides have been killed. but when you look at the civilian casualty numbers, that tells you everything you need to know about the goals and the aims of the government. that is exacting these measures and what we see the russian military doing their versus the id f. i mean, no, the numbers tell the story though, is it? absolutely, this is not about taking sides. this is just about stating the facts from a comparative, analytical perspective. and anybody with any sense of propriety would look at this comparative and little perspective and say,

well in actuality it looks like somebody's not telling the truth and look, that's what we try to do. if we're wrong, please tell me out of but hey, you often times tell me i'm wrong and i thank you for it as well. yeah. and your wife. right, exactly. and several others. thanks manila, we appreciate your time. thanks for hanging in there. cuz uh, we had a little technical swan where we had, we had to get through and, and that's our show. remember i always look outside of your own box for troops. actually. we believe in here. that's why we try to be transparent. we try not to live in our own little boxes. i'm rick sanchez. and we'll be looking for you next time. right here. i'm director of the the 6 off or what go that you got to get better you you go to the

hospital. yes. what you need to do to help you, hey, say, i mean would, would you need to walk up to people that are drug addicts because keep going cold. turkey is like going through withdrawals, and a lot of these folks spoke to withdrawal, giving them money will kill them. so you just gotta give him the valve cover, right? no, i guess no one, not very good. but surely getting worse and worse every year. it has to be done, the,

the i'm the old then the enemy knows well, but we have prepared ourselves for the worst of no place to be spared. o rockets, israel must wait for us on land by sea. and by there he has been the leader issues of loading fit as well as the idea of the state. it's fully prepared for defense. they've been living on the following months of mutual costs. buddhist product come off. and this is an idea to mass is a policy it's received in the hands of the people. whoever thinks we can eliminate the masses wrong. a strong thing statement from the ideas both positive, seemingly conflict dictate and climbing to send that to me on whose decisive rhetoric on the same thing. how much the.
