perform amputations not because we want to, but because we lack the means to treat them. i mean, we're not butchers, but we have no other choice. every day a poster new doctor dies a little when he's in the hospital reception and sees a mother, a brother, a sister bringing a dead or wounded person, and fighting for a hospital bed. the russian president clinton has signed a new law allowing use of digital financial assets in international trade. the law permits the dfcs to be used as a form of payment for international transfers. challenging the wes dominance of global payment superstructures, such as swift or the contributor chris evans explains what the move will mean. the major change it makes. it really allows, uh, government institutions in russia and i,
2:32 pm
and russian companies to freely use other alternative payment methods. as though it is, conduct the transfers as we, we know russia was cuts off, you know, 2 years ago from the global financial system. most impression banks have the inability to use uh, payment system such as swift or any other real payment method of moving money in and out of the country. now with this little policy, it means the other methods can be use such as crypto currencies, for example, which is what i'm a strong advocate of to move money instantly from one country to another. so it's quite significant really because it basically breaks down all of the barriers that the russian economy has to trade in terms of payments. so how that works essentially is if we using alternative payment methods, such as crypto currencies, for example, or suffering based cooling, like the digital russian valuable for example. what that does is those systems are, in a sense, a black box to all the nations from seeing those transactions. for example, if we were to put to form a swift tron specified as to send you roubles or dollars using swift, it's very,
2:33 pm
very probable that the united states, for example, would be able to see or device transaction flows to see who i'm paying and who was being paid by me and that's where we've seen a lot of these sanctions come into place on companies abroad that have been trading with rushing companies that will disappear. now if these alternative digital financial assets all use these payments instead of the traditional payment form, as you say, was archie international i've next on direct impact. rick sanchez and his guest discussed the topics trending in the news over the past week by the fellow again everybody, i'm like, sanchez, you know, i work at 4 or 5 of the biggest television networks in the united states. and i
2:34 pm
frankly have a bit of a problem with the way they cover news these days. now we're doing a newscast here every single day. we're daily. okay, and i'm sure you probably notice. so we get an opportunity to see all the big stories that happen throughout the span of the week. and now what we're going to do is we're going to compile all of those stories. we're gonna try and put them together in order of importance. i'm going to share them with you and then wake them apart. talk about why they matter, or maybe why they don't. this is direct impact the . all right, let me bring you up to date on some of these big stories that we're referring to. just a little while ago that again, you likely would not have seen if you were watching television news. just let's say in the united states. i think the biggest story is victoria nolan, victoria no one is out at the state department. there's something that goes with
2:35 pm
that too. did you see what happened with president zalinski? his wife? man, she did something really weird that we're going to be talking about. george galloway . oh, my goodness, the george galloway tape. it's a tape it's being seen around the world that i'm gonna let you see a part of it because you're going to be talking about it for some time. joe biden says, no. what is the right? i mean, he says, no, but the cause of war is escalating. it is escalating as both these just what happened this week? german general scott, right handed, planning an attack on russia. boy, that's something you've got to listen to. i mean, talk about getting caught red handed. it really is a case of that in the spring board. it's saying that mr. trump will be on all the balance in the united states all 50 states. also this y r u. s. troops now patrolling new york some ways. a kind of weird. i think. i don't know what you think. and china, it says to can play this game. they're telling us tech companies get out
2:36 pm
a drive. all right, we're joined now by our panel. i got a nixon is the host of be critical. our on sputnik jamal thomas, who's lines on sputnik. i talked to these guys all the time about things that are going on in the world and that we get to share some of our thoughts with you. let's start with victoria new and how big a deal is a jamal? the fact that she is out and what's the signal that that's ends, let's say you are, let's just say, pretend you have a lot of mirror, you zalinski right now, and you just turn this news. what are you thinking? oh my god. they're not going to continue to support me. that would be my 1st let me give you my victoria doland is one of the architects of that war. i mean, and you know, cookies and all this other stuff. um yeah, she is directly related to pushing an agenda. appreciating church can ukraine was the main point. here's how. 1 it was presented here in the united states. let's tell us the dates in precise context of the recording and not known. and you'd
2:37 pm
under the us some precedent to ukraine. jeffrey piet's discuss which of the countries opposition leaders they'd like to see in government. and they refer to getting the un involved. so that would be great, i think, to help glue this thing and have the un help fluid. and you know, the, you know, exactly, and i think we've got to do something to make it stick together because you can be pretty sure that if it does, if it does start to gain altitude, the russians will be working behind the scenes to try to torpedo it now i probably don't have to tell you garland where that was about. if you listen to it, you know that that was the smoking gun that seemed to prove to most people around the world that victoria newland had everything to do in 2014. with that code at the top, where she tried to get rid of a democratically elected president in ukraine sense and she's been running the entire operation. it seems right. how important do you think this decision is today? do you think it's going to have an effect or no, or do you agree with them? i think it's very important and i think the people that will be the most concerned
2:38 pm
will be the very hawkish leaders in europe. i think they understand that they're the, they're the support for the ukraine. you know, kind of project is waning in the united states, particularly in congress that donald trump is a ripple in the republican party now. and they're not getting any money out of congress. and i think they are now concerned that they're most ardent support or the person that would keep the u. s. machine focused on ukraine is gone and that we'll have an effect on their ability to maintain continuity. you don't think there's it and there are other people around her. i mean, uh, who will no doubt continue to push this thing and see if they can make it happen. yeah, imagine that means you by just going to give a speech to the state of the union talking about we're going to be with you praying for as long as it takes about villain is particularly can take or so let me give you my cheese directly or one of those think she's worked with dick cheney at one point meeting she's, she's like neil calling for new god. well, you spoke about that state of the union and i think one of the weirdest things that i've seen in a long time, and i don't know if you guys know about this,
2:39 pm
but there's something going on right now where the 1st lady misses sullen. so the lens is that pronounced correctly, because when you pronounce that females name and russian breaks, you actually change that a little bit. so president is a landscapes wife, has decided that even though she was invited by the us government and by joe biden, the 1st lady of the united states to go and sit next to her at the state of the union. she said, no, she's not going to sit next to her. and the reason she's decided not to say next door is because apparently novalis wife was also invited and she said if she's going, i'm not going. apparently they don't like each other. and apparently it has to do with something i've only said about cry meal. but what a weird situation said this woman who is essentially the lady of ukraine is invited to sit next to the 1st lady of the united states. and she says, no, i'm not gonna go well and it also goes to show that below this argument that this
2:40 pm
entire ukrainian problem started in february of 2022. that there was a long, historical background to your involving. i mean, you could go all the way back to the crusades and why are they calculate from the neighbor river on to poland and how the cedars got stopped at that neighbor river. but the bottom line is when it comes down to it, 0 is a deep intellectual conversation to be had about ukraine. it's not just about vladimir putin woke up one day and got angry. and i think this is evidence that there is more to this conflict than meets the eye. here is the 1st lady of ukraine giving a speech. this is not a speech recently. this is when she was invited by nancy pelosi to speak in around congress. here it is, usually the wise of presidents are exclusively engaged in peaceful affairs, their location, human rights, equality, accessibility and maybe you expected from me to speak on those topics. but how can i talk about them when and improve ok and provoke,
2:41 pm
invasive terrorist war is being waged against, and my country of russia is destroying all with people. and this just, i'm so sorry for saying this, and i don't mean to be disrespectful, but it seems like something you would hear about in high school. it's, it's, i mean it's keep in mind that story, but the us has given us all of the started on, you know, just recently in 2022 and met them. it was a long history in the way the goal of pointing out building historical context, right. and for whatever reason, in order to justify all of the money and everything else that we've been putting into this particular conflict, we've had to ignore reality itself. output is trying to take over all of your that seems to be the way they're going in those places little and she was pushing in a speech. i want to show you guys something now, because did you want to say something i would add this, and here's another reality that i suspected it 1st. she hates russians. there isn't . there isn't an ethnic racism, whatever you want to call it,
2:42 pm
that here the unit that is in, in the ukraine that the united states has pushed to take advantage of to make short for many, many years. oh, went back to the fifty's and the band there at the band. right now the russians and i think part of it is she's not going to sit next to one of those things was in are english, their right to age button. yeah. but she also hates devolving, which is interesting. in fact, apparently that zalinski government hates and of all me in the office that there were even citing with bowden just last week. and there was a report that in the mom a had been killed by to the ones who came out and said no to didn't killing me. died of natural causes. yeah. but again, you get back to this, they just hate right since and they are happy to see another russian day, and they're not going to sit next to a russian. they don't want to sing a russian song. they don't want to a street named after a russian, and i think that's what it comes down to it. she can't go back to the band of rights and say, oh yeah, i sat next to a russian person and smile. so they have that in common with the with,
2:43 pm
with victoria and right. seems like it's all the victoria. no one is making money. rush. i, she's worth somewhere between $2.00 and $8000000.00, even though she makes a government salary of $180000.00. i've always wondered how you get to those big figures when you're in a government job, but i think we could figure it out in the case of victoria now. yeah, she will be fine. she will be fine. yeah, she works really. all right, don't bridge organization, which essentially does our foreign policy when they're not working for the government, it's only a freaking thing. all right, here we go. this is i think one of the best moments of the week. this is the esteemed george galloway after returning to the british parliament. being asked of question by a reporter and it's fascinating as you watch this because it may be you tell me what you think after you watch this. and you can do so on twitter and rick sanchez, tv. and you don't think this is one of the best take downs of
2:44 pm
a corporate type reporter that you've seen in a long time period is. i don't respect the members. do i respect the prime minister? i despise the prime minister and get millions and millions and millions of people in this country despise the prime minister. i don't respect the prime minister at all. there is something about him standing up to somebody who's giving your lot. i love it. i love it. i love it, what, what do you love about? because the foreigner is oftentimes when somebody is doing an interview like that, there's actually a particular question putting you on the spot with you and asking you the question in a way that kind of suggests the answer that you expect to get. i think it was the prime minister because i thought seems like research. so that came up basically batch do are you know, you don't have a feeling of other students, not only do i not respect this buys. yeah. yeah. it's like you to be on. i don't care. yeah. it's not just vice prime minister. so you're bringing this. i think
2:45 pm
even what we said you acting like he brought down the 10 commandments. it was like, he just was watching that i wasn't just thinking about what you said, which is, you know, putting a reporter in his by for asking a stupid question. i'm almost thinking that there are people in this world and especially in the western media that if you said to them something like, do you know that there may be another perspective than the one that your sharing do? you know, for example, there's a different perspective than what you believe in terms of israel's right to go in there and kill so many palestinians. do you know there's a different perspective on the ukranian story? do you know what happened in 2014 and ukraine? they would look at you like you have horns coming out of your head and i dropped the sense that when he said that right, garland to that reporter when he challenged reported with, why are you bringing up the prime minister's name like i have to bow. what do you say is name is a lot of people disagree with the prime minister that the reporter did not understand that. right?
2:46 pm
because i think i saw that, that a reporter as a personal cell, we have a certain protocol, particularly in brittany when we must be printing properties. and we must so respects to the institutions, etc. there are people that are furious at these institutions and by carry this week through uh, george galloway. they're saying that so george galloway said, no, i'm not going to respect your protocol. i'm going to stand up for these people in the street that are suffering and say, do you go jump in a lake? we don't like it. he's saying there is another perspective about there. yeah, you need to listen to it as well. and apparently he made the point very fortunately in ways that i've never seen it made perhaps so well, i'm gonna show you a piece of video right now. and when we come back, i want you guys to talk about this. what you're going to see right now, right here, are german generals, as they're actually discussing what it is that they plan to do in russia. take
2:47 pm
a listen to this, i came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets bridge in the east, and the munition depos above the originally east is hard to reach. it's a rather small target for the tourist can be, i'm honest indeed, most of also about it. even if we consider the bridge, i don't think taurus is enough and we need to have an idea of how it's only for, for that satellite data. you know, i don't know if we can train the ukrainians for such a task in a short time, and we're talking about a month. they're talking about bombing a russian bridge. they're talking about bombing a russian bridge. when we come back, we'll take that apart as well. stay with us, don't go at the
2:48 pm
2:49 pm
welcome back. i'm rick sanchez, is a special edition of direct impact where we, where we talk through the stories of the week and i've got to tell you, i found this story to be absolutely fascinating. it after i listen to these, these german generals for a long time planning a bombing of a russian bridge using a tourist missile. i can help but ask myself, are they trying to start with war 3? are they trying to start way more 3? i mean, is this what these guys are doing? here's a piece of that of that leaked audio kind with us. yeah. hot. it doesn't matter. we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us a lot of the conflicts. might i'm exaggerating a bit, but if we tell the minister now that we plan meetings and we'll drive by call from walgreens and also that no one notices that's already participation and we want to
2:50 pm
do that. yeah. so let me ask you the question that i just asked our esteemed viewers all over the world. are they trying to start world war 3? so, you know, i think that one of the things that this shows is that they don't really believe the propaganda that vladimir putin is a med man that can't be trusted. that they don't really believe that because they believe that they wouldn't take these kind of chances that they believe they can get away with it. and even if they get caught, they feel like, well, he's reasonable, he's not going to attack us. i see what you're saying. there that's interesting because all we hear about putting is he's a madman, he's a bad man and he's about to invade all of europe. oh my god. and you can't take those kind of chances. what the may may again basically they're saying no, we don't, we don't, we don't, we, we must not think much of him bad. exactly. right. i mean, do you think that the german chancellor knew that this was happening? nope. i mean it the way the conversations that he says when i feel a chance and we're going to go from so and so, and so, and so, and he even makes the point of saying like, you know,
2:51 pm
we don't want to be involved. we don't want any a fingerprint, so any and everything else is unclear whether it's towards muffles, obviously, or. so this is a big space thing. it sounds like the german, they just, i do what they kept coming to, you know, as the story is, the one is running, the german government, the shots know. and even when the story broke, germany freaked out, we said we're going to do an investigation to figure out when we came from ignoring the contents of a weak. yes. oh my gosh, that is so important. i'm so glad you say that part of my passion responding to what you just said, but if there's one and i'm glad you said that, and that's why we're having this conversation. if 1st of all, i'm a journalist, you know what i love other than my wife and my kids, and my producers and i always love to mix. yeah. i love leaks, thinking i'm all for needs as many links. as of course, i don't want the atomic bomb or government secrets that can hurt somebody. but generally speaking of you know, something about my government that i, as a citizen should know,
2:52 pm
i want that lead. that's why. 4 respect julia massage and everything is that he's done. we just heard the german chancellor come out and essentially say not as you say, if we're going to go after these generals for doing this, for planning a pac on russia, which could literally create a world wide configuration. no, he says we're going to investigate how this link got out. that's crazy. well and it, it just goes to show that he actually understands how powerless he is. he already understands that he's powerless in the face of the us power of you in the face of us imperialism. but he realizes that within his own government, he's powerful. he understands, as they all do, that in this me a fraudulent a ukrainian proxy work that all of the neo cons in the hawks around the you are getting their opportunity to throw a missile the were a rock any time they want to. but oh, la shields. no, he understands the limits of his power. let's talk about donald trump. yes. because
2:53 pm
this announcement was made by our steam to media. been using that word a lot during this newscast here it is. we've learned that it was a 9 to nothing decision and ruling that donald trump can be on. the ballad in colorado and other states, even justices during the oral argument, seemed very skeptical of the idea that one state could decide for the nation. whether donald trump was an insurrection to us and was therefore disqualified under this 150 year old provision. now there's a lot of talk in the united states, certainly on the last gentleman that uh, this is a supreme court that's bought and sold bess. donald trump's supreme court, it's a conservative court judge course they were going to put donald trump on the court on, on the balance, despite the fact that he's a quote unquote insurrection is okay. argument accepted, not, i'm not an unpopular argument, a fair argument, but here's the problem. and where i can decide with this particular supreme court
2:54 pm
decision, i set it earlier in the week on one of our newscasts. if you allow one state to side or decide, cool is allowed to run in that state. then what will have, i fear in the future is a case where if you have 25 republican states you, you're going to have 25 states where the democrat is not allowed to run. and if you have $25.00 democratic states, you're going to have $25.00 states where the republic is not going to be allowed to run. and that will, will really create hell in this process, the high opinion, what do you, what do you said, really? i mean, it to be fair, it's one of the arguments supreme court made themselves. i mean, i say congress shouldn't make this decision and not the state, right. but when you were actually in the argument, and this is one of the things that basically came up, this kind of came around system of governance and everything else. but the reality of it is they are trying to say that donald trump, so i'm lucky, i'm not a fan of front. oh, so like i do, that's okay. we're not here. a little 9 justices 3 of which were liberal justices
2:55 pm
that still came down and the exact same side say, you can't do this once. they can't pull a man on the ballot for one who was in charge with insurrection. mm. to he was a convicted events, erection, i mean get other copy gets big like may for example, thing. yeah, i know, i'm just a secretary of state, but scarlet, i'm going to go to colorado and i think where they're wise, if you'll allow me, is garlan. when they say, if you want to call them and interaction us, then congress has to come out and put that stamp on his forehead and them after they do that, they can make a decision that ends or insurrection has, are not allowed to run. cause what happened after the civil war, the united states for candidates were removed because sorry, you were on the wrong side. i'm not sure there's enough proof for that in this case . or am i wrong? i agree with the person that has to be convicted of something. there has to be some of factual evidence to show that they were that he was, that is a final decision. ok, he's even insurrection if that hasn't happened to the other part. oh, i believe he invited all those people who ended up acting as insurrection is that
2:56 pm
day. but i don't think because he invited them and then they den something that he gave them exact marching orders. yes, not a problem. yes. my point is there's been no finding of fact correct. he's done that so you don't have anything. and the other part of it is the slippery slope. the next thing that kind of a state does is they pass a ruling in the state. you can't run if x yeah. and then they can use the law. and now that has to go in, you don't want to open the door for that for the 4 states to be able to find various methods within their own state to disqualify federal. let's talk about something else ready when i go to latin america and the caribbean, which i'm sure you guys have gone to one of the things that always bother me when i go there. and especially with my wife and kids as i go to the beach and there's a guy in the military fatigues and a young gun and well, yeah, my god, there's something i don't know that they're putting the stuff out sooner by way. and same thing at the store, same thing at the parks, and i've always wanted a man. i'm so glad i live in
2:57 pm
a country. we don't see the military visually out there. well, guess what? look at these pictures. look at us. this is new york by the way. oh sorry, i jumped ahead. let's do that story. let's do this. this is not, this is not the some. ok, we are going to somebody. ok, look at this. this is the some ways of new york city. and there are now troops, a 1000 of them really 250 troopers and 750 national guard. same people we sent to iraq and afghanistan. they're now in new york city petroleum. and some ways, i don't like the price of freedom rick price of freedom. what does that mean? i don't know what these jobs do. it said it was just ready with a no. i said it's a horrible look. i think. but look, are we like it's one thing, is it cops? military is different. so that's, that's my point. yes. is that i sit there. i say, 3rd world a little bit. i mean, the military is, you know,
2:58 pm
so like ford parties not domestic. and it's a little bit strange to see military pulls the cops doing the job. and the question is, why, why on earth did you have to go to national guard as opposed to using your own police force in order to do the job? what's going on to deal with this semester? well, of 3 people, dad, in the last couple of months, a conductor had a stroke flushed. a couple of things are going out of new york. i'll take another position. you know, i was retired want for some it when i go back and look at the guys in my and girls in my agency, i don't know. that's what they look like. and i, you didn't tell me the way the cops are dress now in fatigues with the ones if you didn't tell me that they weren't soldiers in a lot of states. i wouldn't know. i just think they, they were cops that are cops had been so military. right. yeah. cit, oftentimes they're running around in the year. yeah. in times. yeah. they have different missions like, like from my point is like your diversity on. it's because you are, you've been the previous police officer, but the military from one of you has a job of dealing with foreign adversary square,
2:59 pm
sending them over there to do something. which is the reason why it's so bad that they're militarize in a plea for it, for the police forces that supposedly gets the citizenry. that to me is. yeah, i gotta tell you it's, it's a picture. i never thought i'd see. i don't like looking at it and we're not talking about a disturbance or a riot. we're just talking about another day in new york. yeah, i'm saying troops on the streets and subways is not a pretty picture. thanks so much guys for coming in. thanks so much for this conversation. i think this is important. i'm glad we do it this way. this is direct impact. thanks so much for being with us because, you know, our mission is pretty simple. here. we are really just trying to not keep the troops in little boxes where you've got to be on one side or another. truth is everywhere, complex, and should be looking for you again, right here, where we help to provide a direct effect the
3:00 pm
of force you estimate abrams tank falls to the russian army. well, one of the mighty challenge or tanks, the u. k is gifted to ukraine, gets stuck in the during simple training exercises. and the whole fiasco is captured on camera by british media. and the tank is just sunk in, slit in, and out there waiting for recovery there. in the green lights, a law that gives citizenship to non most of the for national, the plane from afghanistan, bangladesh and packers fan praising concerns among muslim minorities and as the guys in health system has been devastated by the war, our to special projects, human shields, documents the story of a doctor for us to.
