of the, at the news very close to us, we can hear that you paid, you talk to each of exclusion. you just heard boards bus. and so just trying to shoot a doubt before before this is the new expense. and yes, to patsy. shut this down. perhaps it flew on the less the commodity has been given everyone to show the b a. these is the $220.00 regiment totally kilometers from the front lines. even this fall back. this guy, he's a buzz that dreadful bugs. sure. so we're fighting, which has been, we've been with you for about an hour and that's the faith going to gas. it drew.

how do you handle it psychologically? no, but it looks like we've got few states. we always have a spots are watching for the enemy, the when we hear them, we rush to call the if we can, which right to shoot them down on paper. so they just impacted another at the, the very close to us to ride the bus. you soon, so just shoot me a bar whereby who perhaps would show top increasingly you paid has turned to suicide rooms. they are not kind of see

a move uh shots down jammed nice. and when they pause, these just be howard. so let's use no, said the lady, solemn. 116, perfectly fits our artillery regiments on the wicked human rain fire recalls and burning soul for a scorching wind will be there. lot god willing and for the glory of russia against the seat from the dead, screeching. rick sanchez on direct impact. bob something next. i won't be back with some pull down the

the public. sanchez, i've been doing news for 30 years to languages all over the world. here in the us interviewed for us president working for us major television networks. i believe that news should be honest, direct, and impactful, and this is direct impact the let's do this. let's start with this with a member of congress publicly slamming ukrainian president zalinski.

they've cancel the election. what kind of democracy has no election? so next year zalinski said he's not going to have an election because it would be inconvenient during the war. it would be expensive. well, the thing is, if you don't have elections, why in the world would be supporting a country that's not a democracy. the ukraine's president is getting pushed back from politicians. there is no doubt, but while their support is important, it is money deals that he likely covets the most. and there's one particular deal that's a dozy. i don't know if you've heard about this one or followed it. this semester is a landscape deal with black rock ike rock, arguably the biggest financial firm in the entire world. when will i be able to retire? fully have enough for my children's education?

will i will definitely say we are black together, we will provide the answers that investors need to move forward. we will leave no stone unturned. black rock has 10 trillion dollars and assets under management. let me say that again, because it's really an astronomical number. 10 trillion dollars. that means you're ready for this. they manage more money than the entire g. d. p of every country, except the united states in china. that may be why when mr. zalinski was once asked to attend a meeting with latin american leaders to discuss a peace deal with russia. he didn't show up, but want to see how black rog ask for a meeting with him. he dropped everything to make sure that he and z o larry think, go to have a teleconference together of the landscape, then boasted about the deal that he reached. when talking to mr. frank get his

landscape agreed to give pink and black rock the exclusive rights to the future build up of ukraine. and the leaders words, they will quote, coordinate the efforts of all potential investors and participants in the reconstruction of ukraine. stop quote. but how can a war torn country in the middle of a conflict, no less be making a guarantee to black rock, essentially the biggest bank in the world that will have them be paid handsomely for advising and creating a reconstruction road map. how can i do that? well, it's simple. it isn't their money. so when he says, don't worry, the money is going to be there in the future while he's in the middle of a devastating war. it's because he believes the money is going to be there in the future because he's not coming up with the money that money isn't coming from

ukraine. it's really coming from among others. if you're watching us in the united states, you the american taxpayer by both credible estimates, the bottom ministration, and the us congress have directed more than $75000000000.00 to assess ukraine. and mr. biden says he's got to keep on doing so with us tax payer money for quote, as long as it takes, as long as it takes, that's what he said. so think about that for a moment, because what it means is the black rock is being paid with us tax payer money set to ukraine, but they will eventually get all the business that is derived from ukraine. such a deal, right? the president bivens, those tax payer funds will in no way be used to bill out silicon valley and signature banks. but republicans disagree. thing tax payers are actually on the hook hook. there's no question. this is

a great deal for black rock, but why them let me tell you about black rock, the kind of things the media hardly ever talks about because it is essentially too big to criticize. really, it is too big to criticize, barcroft makes much of its revenue essentially on. did you know wars? that's right. they make their money from worse. it is a top beneficial owner of lucky martin. boeing, general dynamics, northrop grumman. and of course, raphael and where else does black rock making some money? the oil and gas black rock overseas is one of the largest fossil fuel portfolios in the entire world. and don't think for one minute that it doesn't see dollar signs all over this ukraine deal, especially given the sanctions that are being placed on russian energy. i mean, it's heavily invested in the companies that compete with russia, oil companies,

so dough for them. it's an opportunity, right? sanctions deals, black rock owns huge watts of chevron. kind of go philips, marathon petroleum, and recently even less than an investment of $15500000000.00 into aramco. which as you probably know, is saudi arabia, estate owned oil and gas company. oh, and when it comes to the coal industry, black rock is also one of the world's largest investors. in fact, well, most of the world is looking for clean or alternatives to improve air quality and reduce cold emissions. black rock has recently plunged more than $34000000000.00 in the companies that are developing more coal assets. and joining us out of talking about this is why i read, he's an international correspond that he has spent much of his life covering stories all over the world. many of them a can do that, which we're talking about right now of thanks. why for joining us. my pleasure.

right. thanks so much for avenue. you know, what i find most interesting and maybe it's because this is all kind of recent. uh, generally speaking that the president soleski was supposed to have a meeting with little desilva and it didn't show up. i mean, the guy didn't even show up to a meeting and apparently they had talked about it and planned it and he didn't show up at them as it's just funny. right. or maybe ironic that as soon as he gets a call from this guy, i think the president, during the seo of the black rock, i've a lick guineas, black man. he is there, they're having a teleconference reading them. what does that tell you? the what's in me, it tells me that zalinski is a lot more interested in what black rock has offer than what fluid is silver, has to offer, which is peace. ah, so what's, let's assume the alternative, there is something a little more interesting to him. i would say it's the economic angle, right. and when, whenever we talking about wars,

i think primarily we're going to be talking about economics at the end of the day for better for worse uh, black rock, signed and accord with the government of zelinski visit lensky regime. an agreement for the creation of a so called ukrainian development on this followed a december era agreement between black rock and diesel answering machine to quote, coordinate investment efforts to rebuild the nation. sort of a gesture to some kind of a martial plan there, i think. but it's important to understand just who we're talking about here, who is black rock, right? this is the world's number one hedge fund manager. they have $10000000.00 and assets that is far and away the largest non governmental entity anywhere in the world. in fact, it can, i help you with this is, let me, let me give you a little add on here. we have 10 trillion dollars and assets that makes them,

if they were a country, the 3rd largest nation in the world. because the only countries that have more g d p than 10 trillion dollars are the united states and china after that every single company were or pardon me, country would come after black crossroads that so incredibly huge. they are. i mean it's wow, it's mind boggling. it's an incredible amount of money and, and the reality is maybe we shouldn't even necessarily be distinguishing it that much from the u. s. g d p. because at the end of the day, this is a company that is into mentally connected at the highest levels with the united states government and especially the biden administration. this is the bank that was chosen by the us federal reserve for the financial stimulus program at to manage the bail out of the us economy in 2008. this is hand and glove. you know,

the, they are really difficult to separate exactly. what is private policy? exactly. what is the public policy? i'm so we see that black rock is coming into your brain to kind of pick up the pieces. and we know, you know, there's more than likely there's going to be 10 percent for the big guy at some level. you know, this is called interlocking when, when you have a board member who sits on a tech company. and then that same board member, that person who represents a tech company also sits on a defense contractor company and a media company. that's called interlocking. it's bad because it makes boards and companies lose their independence. and it seems from what you just described. but i'm gonna ask you to describe it further. how does that interlocking work between, for example, the white house, the state department, the c i a and black rock which is supposed to be a company and have nothing to do with our government?

how are they actually in the, by the administration or in the c i a, or the state department? can you explain that to me? so we have multiple high level of former black rock executives. the currently occupied posts in the biden white house. we have the under secretary of the treasury wally audi m o, the treasury senior advisor on economic issues related to russia and ukraine. eric my know strand political incidents and mike pyle who's the senior economic advisor to vice president, comma le harris. we also have uh brian d. c, formerly served as the director of the us national economic council. until what's his name, what's his name? again, brian davis to brian brian de franco piece and then we have tom is donell donell. i'm who was president of black rocks research arm was also a long time national security adviser to president brock obama,

a high level connections here, his brother donaldson's brother, mike, was the chief strategy to biden's presidential campaign. later to be named the senior administration official lab route also has top executives that include a number of former c i a officers and the company itself. finance is the so called in to tell venture, which is kind of a basically upfront for the c i a, that's a managed by blackboard. so as you saw the, the level of interlocking here is pretty incredible. let's do this. i want to take a break, but when we come back, i want to talk about something. i want to break this deal down because i want people who maybe um, are listening and watching this show to understand who is really supporting and paying for this deal. that black rock and ukraine will benefit from who really, whose skin is really involved in all of this. it,

it might surprise you. and we're going to break that down in just a little bit without why it rate, because of international correspondence. good enough to spend some time talking to we'll be right back. hey, by the way we can continue this conversation. all you gotta do is go to twitter or x or whatever. it's called these days. my handle is rick sanchez, tv rick sanchez, tv. let me know what you think i'd like to hear from you when we come back. i'll look back into a moment, immediate history that speaks volumes about the water. if the media carries for the military, establish the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions.

fixtures designed to simplify. it will confuse who really wants a better wills. and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the

the what about how much sanchez, you know, sometimes the best thing that we can do to make a point about so much of what we try and talk about here is not just by telling you . but in fact, by showing you don't have a media, and we mentioned this a lot often is includes with the military and the political establishment, it's almost like they're working for them. instead of questioning them. and they tend to always make sure that 2 things remain constant. 3rd parties are not welcome . in the united states, only republicans and democrats need be heard, right. and then they always try to protect the establishment and the state department talking points must be disseminated at all times. well, i'm gonna show you something that brings all of that kind of to a head. what i'm about to show you is in hindsight an orchestrated media take down

of a political candidate. this happened back in 2016, but it's still relevant today. gary johnson is the guy who's running for president respect a very much show in the united states. and he is questioning at the time both of our political parties and our current 2 party system as well. and he's also questioning why we get involved in so many wars. watch how and nbc talking head literally just takes him down with what appears to be an orchestrated question. would you do if you were elected about a level about a level and what is a level? you're kidding. no. let's always in syria. as the next day, gary johnson's campaign was over, he was decimated, he was destroyed, noticed how they gave him an earpiece that doesn't work and,

and was basically popping out of his ear. so he'd be a little bit confused. notice all the talking head didn't say a level syria, he threw up the name as uh, gotcha. all right. at noon and johnson as a conservative libertarian is against the establishment position on wars. and that's really what his attack was. you know, sometimes it really is good to look at media moments from the past to understand the present. i think that was a hit. just let me know what you think. let's get back to our interview. and then we're back now with a wide range of international correspondent. and obviously you've been listening. you knows a lot about this particular topics, the ins and outs, and maybe even some of the more picking your details as we like to say. here's what's most interesting about this deal that we're talking about where the president of ukraine's lensky has cut this remarkable deal with the mr. i think

the president of, i'm sorry, i think the president of a black rock and in this deal. what's interesting is we the citizens of the united states, that would be me. alright. and maybe you, if you're watching us from inside the united states and you pay taxes in the united states, they're basically taking billions of dollars from us and shipping it to ukraine. so ukraine can then pay black rock to help them handle both their defense and their future reconstruction. so black rock, what are the riches companies in the world already has enough subsidies because they pay for your taxes? then you and me is going to get money from our taxes to do a deal with ukraine. think about that for a minute to the house has to take a cut right to the house always when they say road. and, you know, in this case the house it's,

it's almost impossible to differentiate between the various actors here because they're also interconnected. everyone in terms of the united states, defense industry, the natural gas industry. now the financial speculation industry, the political industry, certainly hollywood, the media industry. everyone seems to be taking a little piece of the pie here. but the sad reality is, of course, that hundreds of thousands of people are dying and that everybody else. meanwhile, you know, we think things bad are bad in the united states in terms of inflation. if you go to europe, it's incredible, especially, you know, eastern europe, you're talking about countries that have been dealing with double digit inflation. meanwhile, they're being forced, like the people of ukraine to go to the united states to buy all of their gas and all their goods. they have to, they have to shop it out to the united states just like ukrainians,

have to shop out their own domestic finances. we're not talking about a sovereign state. we're talking about a vast will state of the us a piggy bank for biden company. that is basically bleeding and who knows when the blood and the bullying will stop? well, you know, it hurts to say that because, you know, you listen, you and i are essentially americans. we love our country. we, we, we, we think we uh, want to do right by our country. but unfortunately, we see time and time again where decisions are not being made for, for, for wyatt or for wreck, or for rich grandkids or rich kids or my mother or anybody. i know, or any of my friends or for just us citizens, these decisions. and this one is so plastic of that where one of the biggest corporations in the world with ties to the white house ties to the state department ties to the defense companies tied to the state department,

are essentially making bank me on a deal with ukraine. where we are sending tens of billions of dollars. i mean, we can't make this stuff up. right. it was one thing when it was just we were being fleeced for tens of billions of dollars to send weapons for the russian military to destroy in eastern you know, warmer eastern ukraine. and now it's, we are actually having to pay for them to manage it, to, for the we have to pay for her for black, right? to manage it on their behalf. right. as though there weren't enough people getting the, you know, rich off of this scheme that somehow you know, someone else needed to get their cut to. and really when you look at what this is all about at the end of the day, because we are told in the west that this has to do with democracy, it has to do with freedom. it has to do with fighting against the authoritarian is, um, some people say we gotta stop there and ukraine because if not,

he's going all the way to berlin out that again, not bad again, that nothing but in reality, you know, there was an article published by the washington post last august, that review or they carried out an analysis that found that there were $12.00 really ends of dollars of natural resources in terms of coal, gas, and oil that were formerly controlled by the key ever seen better now, under russian control or the nets, people's republic with guns, people's republic control. so that at the end of the day, they're not, they're not going in there to club back the civilian population of the don bass and take them by the hand and west. welcome them and to ukrainian nationalism. they're going there to kick the people off the land and take what's underneath it. you know, it's interesting. the other day i was reading about refugees. i wanted to look that up. and i found out that the vast majority of ukrainian refugees are not in poland

or another european country. the vast majority of ukrainian refugees are in russia in russia. so what i am, so how do you know, i don't gather the housing leisure, be so bad as we're told every day they are the people from ukraine after they decided to leave ukraine because of the fighting, decided to go to it was out. that's the thing. i met quite a few ukrainian refugees in europe last year. i meant more in russia and, you know, the ones that i spoke to in russia were just as vehement as the ones i spoke to the western ukrainians. who went west in terms of this is, you know, a fight that needs to be fought. that is the people who really, you know, who, who are being fight on, on behalf of, by the, by the russian federation. you know, you get the, the closer you get to the don bass, the more z z you see, the more russian flags you see in moscow. and people tend to be a little bit more liberal. you don't get as much of that. but you know, yeah,

and by the way, i mean, look, i'm a journalist, i don't pick sides. i'm not here to wish one guy wins and a war over another one. it's just, it's not my job. it's not what i'm supposed to do. it's not the way i was trained at the university of minnesota as eric's ever i'd school of journalism. and i may be one of the only journalist left in this country because every time i turn on the tv, i just see a bunch of actors talking about but, but i think it's important for us to know these facts. what i just said, for example, about the vast majority of refugees in this, from this war or in russia. why don't americans know that instead we're only told stories about all these poor people are having to go to poll and then having to go year and having to go there. that's just uh, it's just a lack of information is what it is. well, and by the way, i have to go ahead, go ahead. well, i want to come up with this conflict from the ground, from denette, from don bass from lugens, and that me was the $1000000.00 question. why aren't there any western journalists? and in fact, the only western journalist i was able to find where those who worked for either

r t a. ron's press tv, i did ultimately find one journalist to work for algebra, but it was out 0 error, but not algebra english. although i was when i saw it and i saw india, i saw i saw some indian reporters who had filed from there recently when i was looking for information as well. but it tells you about who is willing to show what side of the narrative we are now in a place where we are living in a far more controlled information environment in the west, especially in the united states in western europe. then the rest of the world, they are have an easier time getting access to free information than we do because that is how bad things have gotten. and people here, you know, a lot of them just don't quite get that yet. hopefully they will sometime soon before it's too late. why don't read is an international correspondent is good enough to join us to have this conversation and i'll tell you it's been interesting and thanks for all you do. why, thanks for all the work you do as a journalist. thank you so much for that. can. thanks for all you do. appreciate it . i a day before we go, i want to remind you of our mission,

really and simple. i want to de silo the world we, we, we really gotta stop living in these little boxes where we think only our truth matters truths to live in boxes. they are everywhere. public sacha, so i'll be looking for you again right here where i hope to provide a direct impact. the the many more boards you uh, live, pro, israelis feel uncomfortable in 2 days is around because it's, it's become mis sciatic. it's become there right? tween and nationalized races and that's why you have the lot of manage just a lot of demonstrations against the current government be from the beginning of this year. the,

the, the great heating is all the most of the policies are being reported off. the is really forces his school know refugee camp in gaza, which had been a temporary show sort of a hubbard's thing provided as calm need as once again 5. this of coming under attack and gaza base visits, a refugee camp near the enclave. southern cities here and this comes we are really living here, living the hunger and the international support for the palestinian in these difficult times. it's actually 9 of us present to live and find himself in home. lots of office revealed these send 2 different types of veterans to the pro.
