were trained by the c. i a underscore, and got americas direct involvement. and support for these terrace groups. of course, he said to process it has been actively combat investors and has incurred significant losses, including many military person out there on says it's forces are present legitimately and as their request of the syrian government. however, with the escalation of the guys a conflict we sent for you, thanks have become more complicated leading to israel to target several, ronnie and advisors, and then we tried, experts say this law so it can pave the ground for leveraging international legal frameworks to see compensation there wanting government has also indicated that it will also turn to international bodies such as the international court of justice to present the case. i did move it, i started for the mileage. i mean, if we take a look at the american quotes, we see that they've made plaintive to seize all pass. so on here, out in the assets, how the united states, as a means of causing

a loss to the event in governments. we can adopt a similar reciprocal approach whenever asked, as belonging to the american governments or any american individuals or entities involved in the depths of your dining room illusion. they got cool codes force members are located, whether in the region or in the around. they could be seized or allocated to the plaintiffs. the wall like dimension of this legal proceeding is even more significant extending beyond individual grievances to highlight the persistent animosity between the iran and b was the families involved po about their lawsuit will not only honor 30 last loved ones, but also shed light on what we perceive as a systemic pattern of you want support for terrorism in the region. right. it is the limits of l. rick sanchez next here. um his show direct impact. see who the veteran broadcaster is engaging in conversation today. right at the

the hi there. you know, there are so many millions and millions of you all over the world who watched the show and reached out and told us so. and you know what, i just want to say. thank you for believing in the truths that we try to tell. i'm rick sanchez. this is the week and review. i decided the best way for it is a past the tours from new generation. all our enemies should notice those who attack israel will pay a very heavy price and just say that that's a joe biden. he's out as a us presidential candidate, at least, and we told you about what happened, what about 5 months ago. meanwhile, his boss addresses congress. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. and this is the week interview. let's to it the

the. so let's get started. it's absolutely remarkable how once again in the very last week seems like everything has changed right and continues to change. and joining me now to talk about some of these changes is one of my favorite guides in the whole world. not to mention a good golf partner from time to time, the host of the critical hour on radios, but nick, dr. wilmer leon. so wilmer, thanks for joining us. as always, rick is an honor pleasure to be with you today. all right, let's thoughts, let's try and do some smart or at least some pseudo intellectual smart talk. think about the optics of this, that we're about to talk about right now because i just kind of find this fascinating, right? think about this for a minute. so this presidency of the united states right now has never look as weak and that's feeble as it looks right now. and that's because of old age, right?

that happens, it's gonna happen all of us. well, the leader of israels has taken over, optically speaking, his position, the position that usually where the president united states stands right, a dressing congress no less with them and vigor. and giving a speech where he gets a, a standing ovation. think the most frequently optics of those 2 images right now. first, i'll give you just a little example. uh, wilmer of, uh, mr. biden, last night speaking, nobody seemed to care or watch it. but anyway, here it is. when ben franklin was asked you merge from the account and make sure the conventions going on for the founders have given america monetary public. the frank of a response was republic. if you can keep it, i think he was trying to say, continental congress, that's what the teleprompter says, but obviously he couldn't read that word. so he said convention. he called benjamin franklin, benjamin franklin. he looked dazed. he looked confused. he looked weak. he looked

feeble. he looks like and can't talk anymore, at least not. he can't put a sentence together and it was just, i don't know you and i've talked about this so many times. but the idea that this guy's talking on television, on the same day when he literally relinquished congress over to the guy who was the real president of the united states, who was the prime minister of israel. those are my thoughts. what do you think? oh, well i'm glad you said that he meant ben franklin because i thought it was talked about how frank in minnesota. my name's thank you for that clarity but the right. yeah. the optics, the optics you're, you're absolutely right. uh, this shows the weakness of the american presidency. it shows uh that it shows how co opted our politics has become both sides of the aisle or are obviously beholden to a pack. and many of the other lobbies that are championing their interests and

a big when you allow a war criminal and someone who, if any of the members of congress that had any goods, could have had him arrested on the spot. yeah, base to and failed to do so. yeah, that just shows you the complicity. it shows you the weakness. it was to it was nauseating. yeah. and, and here's the situation now by the way, when you say work criminal, this is not your opinion. this is the opinion of both the united nations and the international criminal court. just just, just to say, i don't want people to go with this guy to call the president. no, you're not. you're not calling him up. he's officially been determined to be so. so just, just, just for the record, because you're my buddy and i don't want you to get some heat when they deserve it so. so you, so here's come on here is now the vice president officially, i guess, you know, they've circle the wagons. she's in. seems to be, by the way, um, i should mention this. she's being so far from what i've seen very well handled

very well, rolled out the way you roll out a new brand if you're a, you know, a company and you've got a new type of brad or a new type of, uh, whatever you know box of cigarettes or a new shoe or something, she's being rolled out like a good product should be rolled out so far, they seem to be doing that pretty well. but uh, but look at this chart though, cuz i think we should keep this in mind as we consider that our country always goes around the world telling everybody how, what a great democracy we are and how they should be like us when they choose their leaders this is done by the new york times. i remember the new york times is not a fan of the democrats. i mean is a fan of the democrats and it's interesting. they tend to be more to the left. so here they are. they asked all the writers at the new york times, who do you think has the best chance of beating trump? who do you think it's a strong as candidate? this is before she was right about the time she was made. look at her picture there on the left compared to all the other candidates. she is the whiskey as choice as

the president united states. that the only reason i'm putting that up is that's the new york times saying this roemer. uh not us. but i think it goes to the point right as to whether she's really the people's choice or not. and it seems to me that she's not. so given that scenario, given the fact that she had a horrible race in 2020, given the fact that people really didn't vote for her the motor for joe biden. i mean, can we go around the world saying, look out the matter how democratic we are in this choice? no, not at all. first of all, because the, the, the democrats, primary season was truncated as best they, in a number of states. other viable options were not allowed, or even non viable options were not allowed on the ballot. so joe

biden, well, joe biden was appointed and now that he is stepping down due to obvious cognitive decline, they have anointed comment. harris sky was amazed at how quickly the media shifted and how quickly the money is pouring in. bit and, and based upon her name, and particularly in a car, in a conflict with james car. these piece in the new york times last week, where he said this process needs to be open. this process needs to be transparent and that she should be part of a p of options, but it should not be given to her. what's your guess? what you got, which again, the point you just made is the point that we make when we go around the world fund spring, not just telling people that their electrons are unfair. that somehow they were rid

of the politician they had chosen is the one that's being anointed, and they never gave the people of back country a voice. what i just said describes exactly what the democratic party has done exactly to the de, the end is what the democratic party did, basically with jo button. yeah, because there are the, there are those who will tell you that that joe biden wasn't selected to be donald trump. he was selected to be bernie sanders. mm hm. yeah. well, listen here, here's what's interesting. the democrats used to be the party of new ideas, right? i mean, at least when i was growing up, it seemed that way fewer wars that they used to talk about, you know, mcgovern, etc, taking power from the establishment and giving it back to the people. now they are the establishment that they have to come so far out there as the establishment party. that is a very unwavering uh,

they relinquished new ideas to republicans. and here's an example of what i'm talking about. when was the last time you know and i and i know vance is good, advance is bad. everybody's got their issues and stuff. but when was the last time you heard a democrat on a presidential ticket, say something as honest and n as anti establishment. as this that you're about to here is now 2003. i was a high school senior and i had a political position back then i believed the propaganda of the george w bush administration that we needed to invade iraq. but it was a war for freedom and democracy that those who were appeasing set on who's saying we're inviting a broader regional conflict. does that sound familiar to anything that we're hearing today? it's the same exact talking points 20 years later with different names. but if we learned anything over the last 20 years, no, i don't think that we have. we have learned that we've, if we beat our chest instead of engage in diplomacy,

but it will somehow produce good outcomes. that is not true. we learned that if we talk incessantly about world war 2, we can bully people and caused them to ignore their basic moral impulses and lead the country straight in a catastrophic conflict. when the hell was the last time you heard a prominent democrat, no less a democrat on the presidential ticket, say that kind of thing. tell that kind of truth, sorry for raising my voice, but i was kind of excited to hear somebody say something that the rest of the country things. but none of these people ever talked about, including the media or the last time it is been a very, very long time. as hakim jeffries champions, the united states, re invading katie, as gregory makes signs off on weapons to ukraine and into saudi

arabia. as linda thomas greenfield, champions genocide in gaza. the answer to your question is, i can't, as carmella harris went to kara. com, trying to convince the caricom states to back to you to be the, the black face on the white imperialist re evasion of haiti icon. busy that minstrel diplomacy, and the last it's been a long time rick, i'm here when j. d bans is also the guy that stood before the american people 3 years ago and said donald trump is the next thing closest to hitler. yeah, now i know, i know i listen, that's why i said this is an easy, right? there's some things about the harris. there's a couple of things about come on here as i'm liking now. now i know this is b as, but they're putting out a report that she's getting rid of all the neo cons in the state department that she's going to get rid of sullivan and she's going to get rid of the head of the state department. i don't know this is true, but i like hearing it because i think it's

a good thing and i think it's necessary. the question is, the question is, who is he going to replace them with? yeah. because look at how close look at all close. she is the hillary clinton, the neal kind of neil cards, and she was a former secretary of state. yeah, she's the one that convinced or one of the 2 or 3 that convinced then president brock obama to go in and take out the market off the olivia? yeah. so if she's that close to hillary clinton, which means is that close to madeline albright, which means she's that close to predict new brzezinski. yeah. van. uh who is she going to replace them? yeah, no. and her husband's a wall street puppet, and she's in the pocket of a pack. no, i listen. i'm not telling you, i'm jumping on the couple of hairs bandwagon. i, i'm just saying this, this gets complicated when you look at, you know, you know, somebody like bands, there are things that i go, i really liked this guy, you know? and i talked to my friend tucker and he's kind of high on him as well. but then i

look back at his record and i also see some things that make me wonder. i mean i'm, i'm a journalist, i'm just going to look at all parts of the story and then try and take it apart. and right now, it's too early, and it's too complicated for page or for determining who's what, when it comes to american politics, by the way, speaking of american politics, it's got ugly. the head of the u. s. secret service. did you watch this? the agency that's supposed to be protecting the president and all dignitaries. well, she resigned. it came after she was this a try that again. she was viciously savaged yesterday by uh, by or a couple of days ago. pardon me. by members of congress. the secret service has a leadership problem and and that falls on you. it is a miracle president trump wasn't killed director tito, because donald trump is alive and thank god he is you looking competent? if donald trump had been killed you would never look comfortable. now, director, it'll, the, would you agree that this is the most serious security lapse since president reagan

was shot in 1981 of the secret service. yes sir, i would. and you know, you know, what stuart night did when we was in charge at the time of the secret service. you know what he did afterwards he remained on duty. he resigned. he resigned. so um she deserves to get the crap beat out of her and she did the secret service the way they handled this. assassination attempt was deplorable . horrible. that's like keystone cops, kind of crap. i agree. i get it. but it also cheese me off a little bit to watch these incompetence a to someone of being incompetent. if you get my drift and taking advantage of the opportunity for their 15 minutes to appear on cable news looking mean and nasty, like they're doing their job, giving me a break as well to that point. some of these ask them the question,

how did they vote and pass for nomination in the 1st place. triple. where did she come from? because i don't think that she was promoted it from internally from, with in the secret service i. i think she came from with outside the organization. so how did, how did she get through the bedding process in the 1st place? yeah. so as what does the adage, when you point your finger at somebody, you got 3 more point pointing back at you. yeah. and by the way, and i'll just say this before we go to break, because i've thought about this an awful lot. it's more complicated than just an incompetent secret service that did a bad job during that act. i mean this, this shouldn't be, and this is something we never do in this country, but should be a whole conversation about guns, about what we should do about weaponry, about mental health in this country and how out of control it is about the relationships we have between law enforcement in the citizenry is this whole giant

panorama of interesting discussions that this could be the moment that we could be talking about those things. instead we turn it into your in any and you need to be fired. okay. by. it's like, okay, that's it. that's the end of the story. these people voted for that a 15 to be in anybody's hands, so that today in america there's a 121 guns for every 100 people. and now they're surprised at some not case with an a 15. took a shot at somebody. get the hell out of here. anyway, let's go to a break. when we come back, boy, we've got a lot more stuff to talk to, including the bb and t at yahoo speech. don't go away. the, the

the hey, welcome back to direct impact. i'm rick sanchez, recapping awhile, weekend us politics in particular. boy, it looks like we're starting to get into the real political season. look at all the topics that we're talking about. joining me once again, his dr. wilmer leon, co host of the critical hour on radios button a great show by the way, you can find it and i'm telling you it's it's, it's very well done. very thought provoking is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu has arrived in the united states mark. and the reception has been interesting to say the least. take a watch. the i'm my grandparents survive to follow up. i was always told that we should never let anything happen again. that's why we're today protesting,

genocide of the policy and people and calling on our government to me not in arms embargo on a video and send no more weapons to the is really mail it funding the we can not be funding. yeah, that was sort of impressive, but i thought that that that sound bite is we'd like to call them here in the business of this young man, jewish young man who says my grandparents died in the holocaust and i've always grown up being told we shall never let it happen again. we shall never let it happen again. how ironic wilmer, that this time, the folks who are conducting what this young man calls the holocaust, is israel. many of the people who basically survive the holocaust and nazi germany . wow. wrap your head around that, but let me quickly say make

a correction to the statement i made the last segment. kimberly cheadle came to the secret service from tex pepsico. yes. but before she got to pepsico, she was a member of the secret service. so i, i, she, i think she said about 8 years, so i wouldn't think that correct. and that's why they had the readers mentioned because apparently pepsico owns to read out. so just so, so to the question at hand. so what that sound bite demonstrates is how off base benjamin netanyahu is, because he continues to try to equate judaism and zionism as being one of the same. and what that 1st young man and that other young lady were saying is there, there, jews, they're not zionist. yeah. and it's very important that, that people be able to make that distinction. yeah. so when they are saying that they are basically validating what we've been saying for a very long time, how can

a people who's, who's suffered and endured the tragedy of a holler cause, turn around and impose those very same genocidal atrocities on another people? yeah, it's interesting. how can the united states funded back in and paid for? yeah, let's talk about that a little bit. because benjamin, that's a guy who has come before lawmakers to speak about why he has the right to kill as many palestinians, regardless of what the vast majority of americans think. and he says he will continue to do so. in fact, of all our enemies should know this, those who attack israel will pay a very heavy price. that's what total victory means and we will settle for nothing less total victory. interesting choice of words, by the way, 53 percent of americans and the number is growing by the way. hate this guy? hate this guy? 53 percent of americans hate this guy and they hate what he's doing in gaza. and yet, congress is sitting there, giving them

a standing ovation. is it because they have to and how democratic is this wilmer? well, the have to is an interesting part of the question, because if you understand how this lobby operates, then the handlers that they assigned to various members of congress to ensure that those members of congress stick to the party line. and if you, if they want to be sure that they're getting what they pay for, then the answer is yes. and in terms of getting what they pay for folks, just go to the new york times. and you can read a pack fledged, a $100000000.00 to enter c. interject interfere in to the 2024 american electric. uh huh. that's not my that's. i'm not making that up. go to the. yeah, sure, sure. it was no rush on. so i thought i thought it was russia though, are you sure i thought it was russia?

oh, well, it always is over the rest of the day to think rush, you know, it was about to even get into that. put roger puts up to face to face of facebook, facebook post critical of hillary clinton, and they were changed of, of, of, of interjecting themselves into the election. they know how to get china. yeah. this, this guy comes over here and says, i'm coming to congress to speak, and they say, i, sir. i mean, they even said they threatened to arrest anybody who disagree with them. this is maps. by the way, there are a couple of elected officials out there who are pushing back up. bernie sanders, uh peter welsh. uh, tom massey, most of them are democrats, but not all. let's take a look as to the best of my knowledge. however, tomorrow will be unique in bringing 5 minutes to nets and yahoo to address a void meeting with congress. it will be the 1st time in american history that a will criminal, has been given that on a and frankly,

this invitation to nothing. yahoo is a disgrace and something that we will look back on with regret. mister netanyahu, as war has been carried out with our war plains, our tanks, our guns, our bonds, missiles and bullets. i will not be attending prime minister netanyahu. i was address tomorrow. while i welcome a constructive discussion on how to end this conflict in achieve lasting peace and security for israelis and palestinians. i'm not interested in participating in a political study. you know, it's interesting to watch this because those guys i guess are in a situation where they're either old enough or they have enough money and they don't care. but very few people in congress can do with those guys did. because as soon as they do that, they will be primary, they will be pushed out,

they will be destroyed by the media, and it will all be done with his railey dollars, which we give to them. and then they use to buy our politicians. if that's not the most ironic damn thing i've ever said in my life or have come out of my words, i don't know what the hell is as well. massey's point was incredibly well taken. the one thing that he did mention was the tanks and the bullets, and that's in violation of american law. and again, i'm not making that up. look it up. that's in violation of the arms export control act. that's in violation of a number of american law. so we are violating our own law in supporting genocide before we run out of time. since you raised that point, i want to talk about your old girlfriend a couple of hers. and the fact that the i'm, i'm still not sure what she's going to do in this situation. i do know this though . they decided to hide her during nothing yahoo speech. they took her out of her

normal seat and told her to disappear and that she would get a private meeting with him later. what do you think of that other than the fact that this honest this is no time for subtlety? this is no time for chuck schumer to come to the speech, but not shake netanyahu's hand. this is not the time for carmella harris to disappear from the, from the speech, but then meet with him privately on the side. yeah. you, you cannot negotiate for the sake of political expediency on the front end, and then try to claim the hard ground on the back end. you that, that's called here park or see. and i like you for telling it like it is. you always do. thanks part i try, i appreciate my time with you always do dr. warmer leon. thank you and thank you for watching us once again. and i always say this, remember to look outside your own boxes because troops don't live in boxes. i'm rick sanchez, will be looking for you again

a very so the the what is a part of the, the employee would post that isn't the defense you of us in that in the word? or is it something deeper, more complex might be present?

let's stop without glitches. let's go out of the turkish president threatening to enter the middle east conflict to help gals in the comments come and made a dramatic flair off on the lab. and all these really border between the idea from the pro palestinian as paula the legend worth of the region ages closer to a full scale war. also a head on the program. this, our former south african president, jacob zoom up, is reportedly expelled from the ruling and senior party. after more than 60 years of the members and policies newly formed opposition function. finishing us from the 3rd in may's parliamentary elections. as polling stations in venice, we live close with in company.
