i myself good by the

the, here we go, our buddy. 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? no, they're not applauding for me. president put me is welcome. like a conquering here. oh, 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. uh, what you're about to see is the reception, the russian president bush gotten gone young. he had been there since 2000. is he

really going there because he needed for people to applaud him? no, not really. but here it is. the you pick somebody just want a 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 the scene 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 this, i'm seniors, and you work with proxies 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 the vladimir people said 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 packed yesterday where they are pledging to come to each other's aid. in case i wonder what they're thinking about in case there is a military attack on either country. so that, that's the news headline per site here. something else i wanted to share with you. what is the us state departments spin on mr. putin's visit to govern 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 that, 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 kim, joan 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 guidance 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. i mean, 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 north korea proper. i think moves like that showed the greater strength of your nation and resolve than a bully move. yeah. like we've seen bite in take over and over the state department can make whatever claims it wants, the 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. by my point, i agree with everything you said. my point is this was less about kim jo 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 blood and we're putting the kremlin and russia to the world that says to who can play at this game . and i think that's kinda 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 don't try 40 percent, that's almost half right. so now i'm trying no seems to be saying okay, to can play a back 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 spokesperson. 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 bit for each because not all 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 it's 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 say they have levied complaints with the world trade organization, which both chinese and w. t o reps they, 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 accusing the

pork industry of creating over capacity or over supply we might say, and benefiting from those huge subsidies that he was just talking about, which they say has impacted china's domestic pork industry. now on the flip side, the you can't level such a complaint against the chinese e b's because those are only just beginning to roll out into the global market reco . 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 got the, the about this guy that you're about to see many has they say that he rarely cared about us. busy in policy abuses, why did effect in other countries even supported, for example, what the u. s. has been doing in 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 though 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 propaganda. federal economy is really propaganda straight. these are the government's own security agencies. shouldn't that investigated what you're just settings? and no, we found no evidence. the work is from dollars or more involved in the type of some of the tax. all right, let me finish when you know, 5 minutes be from your side. okay. that's, that's, that's true. let me just deal with the white a point here. the types of i want to make some tiny bit of october, i get it as harsh, but that's not the debate. the debate was the other side of it tells you a lot that they can'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 from the beginning and continued to do so. they called me to tell you why that is. so they focus on october the 7th, which is fine. but if you're going to focus on some of some of the most, i'll focus on what happens since october, the 7th, the razor of palestinians,

and this debates. the boeing, when didn't mention is what happened. the palestinians say, i'm sorry to say is absolutely shameful in telling about what the friend of mine, american doctor goes to. one of the many don't to the building because you've seen them on the new their own lives and how most of our friend of mine went to gaza. he's, he's being sued on he doesn't just use it for one about of the month of the savings of it on. he's being tough on this thought he was there to turn back from dollars are and so i've never seen atrocities like i've seen this as well. some of 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 and everything if i'm off as a whole. so let's talk about who it is amazing that every human rights group in the world, including is really human, wants to buy the best sell them do sure, yes. been away documenting this stuff, but you guys think it's all imaginary. so then it tells you about what sign is i'm is, this is not about some abstract ideology. all get people trying to settle the land in front of it. but i didn't get into that. it was an argument to be heading. the

194030 for the design and today is what the, the stadiums are enduring on a daily, nightly basis in the, in the west by giving these through some images rand 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 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, the man has something to say. i don't know. we're down to about a minute and a half of the segment manila did you want to take this? take us out on this a. 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 gaza 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 2 thing benjamin netanyahu is a jerk is not the same thing as saying you hate all 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 poto 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, which 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 bartlet. she's going to join us in just a little bit to talk about this stuff. go away. the

what is a part of the, the employee would post good. isn't the defense you of us and bidding the word or is it something deeper, more complex might be present? good. let's stop without cases. let's go to the product. the the stuff for the summer shift for the picture. such as you deal with the bishop, should the vehicle, is it the economic model has to do with these kinds of what it means? different experiments you've used doesn't take her to testify this thing. so would

you say ok juvenile is then you must sort of deal with a company in some village goes up developing bio chemical weapons inside you crate. the solution, you know, with some cheaper to support the white glove service, the cost, but he's because of the same as she said that the water back on 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. america pool is like a 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 seas where the people are miserable and the people are extremely unhappy and the people are apparently priced. uh and the city is in well in. 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 dependency. 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. 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 when in actuality, the members don't say that and 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 gaza. yes. to what you're seeing in egos videos. i mean, this is like, this is like the 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 maria 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 there are not a lot of people and guys are waiting. the israeli black, just daring to the whole lot of people and doesn't, waiving the b b is, is 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. gaza 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 pen. 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 to get my drift on a. yeah, i mean really if, if you really compare the language that's used in western media when i me 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,

the students 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's what it is or was it? and here's and 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 to get some 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 members of a mazda, but 36 to 40000 people are not members of a mouse. 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 been fighting this war for a lot longer than the is, is really, they've been fighting and guys. so in one case you've got 10000 and then the other one you got 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, what do you call what's happening in gaza? yeah. is that not a full scale invasion? it is not a, is really special military operation. there's 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. no, absolutely. this is not about taking spies. it's 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. uh 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. so thanks manila, we appreciate your time. thanks for hanging in there cuz we had a little technical fly 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 try in spirit. 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. underactive. fact the, [000:00:00;00]

the the, the scott bennett, i'm a former united states army psychological warfare officer, really served in the state department counterterrorism office under investor del daily

the . so i wanted to come here to russia in the dawn bass area and to gather the facts, to take back to the american people, the hold on bass of the front line. so this is where the bombs and the bullets are raging. this is where people are dying. this is where the buildings are exploding the go. i wanted to see 1st hand the scars of war.

the, the, we don't need a preemptive strike yet, because in response to account to strike, the enemy would be guaranteed to be destroy, peppered across the bottom or put it goes on to say the country will deliver at devastating respondents if it ever comes under nuclear attack speaking and how normal dropping off his visit to vietnam and before that us north the russian president also stated that moscow reserves the right to send long range weapons to countries like the d p r k. in response to the western are the big you, you agree this sanction rushes liquefied natural gas sector, but the block itself keep the importing l n g from the country based on why asian
