to abide by the tubs and the u. k. will grant assigns lead to appeal without a further hearing. assign has been held in britain's laws, maximum security, the president's ends 2019 as a being evicted from their queer dory on an embassy where he had been the hold up since 2012. but we can make founda is wanted by washington on 18 espionage charges over the largest leak of classified information in the congress. history. if found guilty, he faces a 175 years in prison. joe political analyst and the john list. patrick haven't seen says that such assurances could turn out to be empty promises. it is a chess match between julia sanchez, defense team and the prosecution, hired by the united states government representing the department of justice in the usa. so this just match basically says that on these 2 points of the joy assigns
3:31 pm
will be respected. uh, as of is 1st amendment, well, he won't be discriminated against because he's australian. and the other one is that the insurance is that he won't receive the death penalty. these can very easily be taken care of by a simple diplomatic note from the united states embassy in london saying, we're not going to discriminate and he's not going to receive the death penalty. and was that all the other concerns, all the other problems with this have been flagged up by the defense will be dismissed, including including this is important, the political extradition clause in the treaty between the us and britain, which forbids political extradition of anybody. and this is clearly a political case with all this, the surveillance against assigned and all of this sort of denial of access by his legal team, even himself not being able to get his documents and so forth. so all of that will
3:32 pm
be swept under the rug through this appeal process. and then what this could end up getting kicked down the road even further. who knows to and i see all day now and thanks for watching. i'll see you again in 30 minutes. the, the apartment buddy program notes bar and holidays occasional family days, which we all need to have. we now post to show every day we used to be weekly malware daily. we pull no punches, so look for it. trust fund. number one,
3:33 pm
the us government and the western media is reaction to this attack we saw in moscow was in a word weird. just was trip item number 2. moscow attacks us backs terrace. what think about this? where are they mercenaries? this is an important distinction that could make a world of difference, and we're going to ask trust bob, number 3. finally, the un security council has declared ceasefire now and that's a yahoo! prime minister netanyahu has canceled his trip to the united states connected. we're going to tell you, i'm rick sanchez. this is a direct impact the you know, i think sometimes the best way to analyze a story is to just make
3:34 pm
a good comparison. so let's do this. and this is the same as headline in the french newspaper. lamond, after 911 attack on the twin towers in new york, you see right there, right there on the right where, where it says we are all americans. we are all americans on this day after that attack. i mean, that was a settlement of unity and condolences at the time all throughout the world rush out, by the way, it was no different at the time and its reaction as a, as president put in and expressed his condolences personally to president george w bush and then visited the united states to meet with the government officials here that attack in moscow. this weekend. it was both calculated and bloody a lot like the $911.00 attacks in that sense, at a targeted specifically civilians just regular people. that is why one would've
3:35 pm
expected to hear some kind of statement from, from, from washington right from this very place where i'm bringing you this newscast from a statement that expressed some kind of grief condolences with the people of russia . maybe even an offer of support to the people of russia, even if we have differences with russia. but instead, what the us immediately did is captured in, in this headline. and, and here it is. they basically came out and didn't say we are all russians today. they said ukraine didn't do it. ukraine didn't do it. great at no involvement in this thing whatsoever. and they came out with this right away. i mean, 1st of all, no one at the time had said that they did it. so it seemed peculiar why this mad rush to say they didn't do it, they didn't do it. i thought of, well, as i watched it and i think as a lot of my peers and colleagues who watch this geo political trifle, watch this,
3:36 pm
they talk that's kind of strange. i think weird might even be the right word. why such an early declaration? why was the u. s. directing the information to begin with? what, why was all the under the information flow from the story that occurred in russia coming out of washington? i thought, of course we also have to ask, where was the offer of condolences that you would expect in a situation like this? would that be the 1st thing that you would do? it wasn't. and then finally, after the attack, a us official did make a comment, but it seemed weird. so to me anyway, and you tell me what you think, look how torture whitehouse national security spokesperson, john kirby appears. i remember i was watching them in the moment. friday is this was happening. and when he finally appears and he addresses the attack, what watch it watches demeanor noticed how careful he is. choosing his words, being lear and careful not to show any support,
3:37 pm
not to show any sympathy for the russian people or from russia or for the russian government. instead, he seems to suggest the only feels bad for the specific individual victims who are in the concert hall. listen in our thoughts obviously are going to be with the victims of this terrible, terrible shooting attack. and i think, you know, when you look at that video, if you haven't, you got to recognize that there's a moms and dads and brothers and sisters and sons and daughters that haven't gotten the news yet. and this is going to be a tough day. so our thoughts are with them didn't seem odd to you that he's only talking about those specific victims. never said anything about maybe helping russia supporting the russian government, doing something for the people of russia feeling bad for the people of russia. oh, there are people there who could be uncles and aunts i mean by the way,
3:38 pm
part of the reason this is so interesting is what. busy didn't have to do with russia. in fact, as kirby continues talking, even alludes to the fact that russia has lots of enemies. what does that mean? why did he say that? is he somehow suggesting that russia somehow brought the carnage on itself? us officials were also quick to announce that isis was solely responsible for the attack siding the isis and claimed responsibility. the claim of responsibility was a statement published by an isis affiliated news agency, a mark on telegram soon after the incident. now didn't provide any proof for any reason or any details, as they usually do after an attack like this. more often than not, a lot of these terrorist organizations stump their chest. we did it, here's how, here's why. there was none of them. just curious, and again, it's, it's
3:39 pm
a very definitive us response from a statement that did not seem all that definitive. and one would expect in a situation like that we is journalist, most journalist, most people who investigate these things would normally at least analyze question, wonder if it really does come from there was not of, of course, by now, the western media led by the new york times has already cement cemented this thing as the definitive narrative they've, they, i've been reading the times just today, and they have all kinds of stories today, confirming that us intelligence officials, they saw this coming bigger warren russia, that this was about to happen. what did they really and if so, did they share details with russia about that? that narrative is also now very much in dispute. is true, there was a security alert. let's think let's be clear about that. there was a security alert. i looked it up. i found it, there it is, i put it there for you,
3:40 pm
for our producers and tyler, the director, is putting it up so you can see it. there it is. it was sent out by the us embassy in moscow, which does a lot of a possible attack by extremists. it says americans living and moscow should avoid gatherings included put in concerts. but this thing was put out march 7th. kirby and company made it sound like they put it out yesterday or last thursday the day before the attack. this thing went out just before the russian elections and it only lasted for 48 hours and they took it down. so do they really know something or where they just issue in a typical pre election advisory to us citizens that they put out in almost every big city in the world just prior to an election? it's just a good question. that's all. in fact, many of these questions that are being raised at this point has to do with just getting to the truth, getting to the truth by not jumping to conclusions. you know, you know, the old expression leave no stone unturned. well,
3:41 pm
that's kind of what you've got to do in a situation like this and for that questions need to be asked for example about the accused or to the acute, many tears. then to take their own was after a tax like this, these guys did not back. did they on court see that those are the apparently they are from to genius time as they claim. or maybe we should say, as they say, claim implies that maybe they're like, i don't know if they're line one of the amount allegedly says that he was hired and he was pay very well. so where they recruited and if so, who recruiting the and if that's the case, then they're really not terrace, right? that wouldn't make the mercenaries that would make the mercenaries shouldn't we
3:42 pm
know that was a, as a ledge heading to ukraine. and if you crane wasn't directly involved as the united states has made clear over and over and over again, where they possibly then in directly involved. so these are the questions, right? could you kind of been involved in directly? these answers will not be known overnight, but again, the suspects are all still and presumably talking. they are in a court of justice and will likely, at some point be telling their stories as the world wage to hear what they have to say. or joining us now to talk about this is international human rights to turn it down, come all look and international relations and security, a list of marco slow boat. i tried to make the case there that usually in a situation like this, there's a lot of carries. there's a lot of questions. there's a lot of doubt. there's a lot of people trying to confirm and mail things down. why does it seem to me,
3:43 pm
maybe, dan, i'll start with you that somebody is not trying to ask these questions and they're, i say, jumping to definitive conclusions. yes. well remind you of william shakespeare is lined out the protest too much um act at the us was so quick on the draw to say you clean didn't do it makes you wonder whether in fact ukraine did do it. and yeah, i think this warning that the us gave a couple weeks ago seems suspicious. and again, it seems like they did not pass on any information to rush. i mean, that's what the russians are saying that if they did not, i tend to think i tend to think what i read this. i went and looked at it right away. as soon as i heard about this, i went in the, in the old google's there and i look, went back and read this security alert, which is what it's called. and it was put out on the 7th, and they said it was only gonna last 48 hours. and it was the one about extreme is that could possibly do something prior to the elections. that's what it seemed like
3:44 pm
to me. i'm not sure that anything to do with this thing. i. it makes me think that maybe our we put that out. let's bring that out now and say that we knew about it. i don't know what. what do you think, mark a john kirby made clear that that warning was unrelated to this attack? he b would cease, spelled that out. exactly. there are a lot of holes in the us narrative uh that they have been peddling since submitted 0 on this. that is, this k is solely responsible, and our us back proxy regime in care of absolutely totally nothing to do with it. these fighters, they made no political or religious declarations either during or after, in detention. they claim that they were paid money for doing it. they, when they attempted to escape, they didn't head to central asian states or the carcasses instead, they drove right for the ukrainian border. is that down? is that nailed down?
3:45 pm
do we know that? is that that, is that been confirmed? yes. yeah, they were captured in brioche, 100 kilometers from the uh, russian from the russian ukrainian border as the warning went out. you know, of the car to look for because they went in the car that they had arrived and actually not a very good methodology. they threw away their weapons, they did not attempt to. 1 fight they did, they didn't die to the death. they didn't try to die as martyrs. they they tried to run and climb a tree. one of them did, but they didn't attempt to fight. they made no declarations. they were attempting to go into a conflict zone, which is should be a heavily defended border on both sides. the russian president, in his speech announced that russian intelligence had information that there. busy was a window that was supposed to be opened by the ukrainian side of the border to let
3:46 pm
them in. this is why the russian government feels that this claim is of isis. k being involved is a single ease of plausible deniability. and the real perpetrators are the key ever gm's intelligence operatives and therefore in backers. well let's me fair. we don't have the smoking gun on this, but i'll tell you what, just listening to what you just said. i'm thinking, you know, the 3 of us have covered and watched and read about and analyze terrorist attacks for the better part of the last couple of decades. and we know what fits the profile of the typical suicide bomber slash terrace. it does seem clear to me from what we know, that then these guys don't seem to fit that profile. they may be more likely
3:47 pm
mercenaries if i can finish it, pardon me. they may be almost more like mercenaries than terrorist. you get my drift. well, you use the key word in there and it's suicide. i, you know, i was just listening to an interview with former c, i officer, larry johnson. and he said, you know, if they were truly isis, there's 2 things that we would expect. one that they would be, you know, we lived is lots and that they would honor ramadan and therefore not carry out such an attack during law. but on number 2, they would not be captured, live me, they would, they would just assume, be killed resisting. how do i, how to house, how mark, i gotta come back to you, cuz i'm thinking about this now. pardon me? dana didn't mean to interrupt you on that statement when you're about to make it. i'll come back to you in a minute. the, this, this statement that was put out by, in fact, the russian media, that one of the man has admitted that he was paid money and that he was recruited.
3:48 pm
what do you make of that to that it really doesn't surprise me in the slightest. because once again, they don't fit the, the pro 5. yeah. of us. we are a suicide bomber or a standard. you know, what habits zealots attempting to achieve martyrdom through killing some infidel. isn't there a lot of questions about isis k, you know, isis for us on as an organization to begin with? the american journalist suff harp, who writes for rolling stones and harper, he noted on twitter, the leader of quote, unquote, isis k was a contractor at bankrupt the us air force base and afghanistan, the n word security for drug lord rochelle does do a top c r a proxy and the vice president of afghanistan at one time, he later worked for a morales so late chief of the ask in intelligence unit,
3:49 pm
literally the c i a is right hand man and afghanistan and he points out that it's right there on the computer page so what are you suggesting clearly is that isis k is and has always been a c i a cookie cutter. i'm gonna cut out and i can't help, but notice that ice was case activities have mostly been boy. busy love attacking the tall up on pakistan and central asian states, in fact, the tower and put out a statement condemning this attack. they express their condolences to the russian people. they pointed out they've been battling isis k for that gate. i can't help but ask you guys about the gcis them. i'm trying to understand what the connection . i think a lot of people over the world might be scratching their heads, trying to figure out how this all comes together if it does. and that's what we're going to talk about when we come back. den, cobble and come all again, marx will boda. we'll continue this conversation after the break,
3:50 pm
the the the,
3:51 pm
the, the ok. welcome back. i'm rick sanchez. let's get right back into the show. in fact, with russia and the news, i wanted to mention something else as the investigation on this attack and moscow continues that we're talking about there's an update on the economic front as well . apparently, british prime minister richie sumac has made a bold move. he's announced and then do you case reliance on russian gas? if you want to prove your tough on russia, it doesn't sound any better than to go out there and make this point if no, but for no other reason, from a standpoint of public relations, right? we don't need the russian gas anymore, but it's not quite as simple as it seems. here's the kicker. the you guys, new source of liquefied natural gas is really still coming from russia. what do you, as announcing is that he's not buying directly from russia, but rather from a middle man who gets it from russia, that middle man, and that is not other than the french. it's a, it's a french energy company. so,
3:52 pm
so what that means is that soon i get boldly distancing himself from russian gas due to geo political tensions, but it's actually indirectly still supporting russia and russian gas and russian and its energy sector, who you can't make this stuff up back to the question at hand and i wanted to get back to you guys on this, dan mark. i don't know which one of you wants to grab those, but talk to me a little bit about to jacob stem. i that there's been a lot of pull, albert going back and forth over the weekend, even from president putting on did you can stand the present of the tickets, dance as there is no buddy from project to stay. and these people are from other planets or something like that, which i quite didn't understand either. i don't know, dan, you want to get the 1st crack at this to make us under, to help us understand what's going on here. i'm going to defer to mark on this. i think he's probably more of an expert on please mark. go ahead. a. yeah, there, there has been a radical as long as the hobbits movement in a tag based on which is a poor majority. muslim majority,
3:53 pm
central asian state, but it's heyday was in the 19 ninety's. there was essentially a briefly of civil war over it. there were also a number of tag fighters in both afghanistan and in syria fighting with the she, heidi formation. so it is not on believable. i believe that's probably why for tags were picked for this because there is a degree of plausible, you know, deniability that they could be involved in, in, in isis, k attack. however, these 4 individuals, there's no evidence of any type of religious radicalization which you wouldn't believe wouldn't be the primary motivation for conducting such attack. yeah, and the big difference here is if the motivation were money that's not usually the case with real believers. i mean, i do believe that there is not that big
3:54 pm
a distance between a patriot and a terrace depends on whose view point it is. but there is a big just distance between a terrorist and a mercenary. and these guys took money. that makes is a whole different story. by the way, there's another story i got to bring to your attention and dan, i want you to help me with this one. there's this the word. finally, the world is finally witnessed a significant diplomatic development this week in the united nations security council has just passed a resolution calling for a cease fire and gaza. it had tried before, but this time it made it stick. and what makes us resolution, particularly noteworthy, we think, is the unprecedented decision by the united states to abstain from the most. a move that has such struck wasted diplomatic circles as well. why? because the u. s. has always voted, may they have always been opposed to any talk of any kind of ceasefire. they've always defended israel and its attacks without the release of hostages. first, this abstention has not been without consequences. is really
3:55 pm
a prime minister benjamin at yahoo! incense by the us. his position apparently has canceled his scheduled visit to the united states. he was even expected to meet with president by and not anymore. how much of this is a real dispute, and how much of this is, is it is politics, dan, what's going on here? well, i think there's a few things going on. i mean, 1st of all, i think joe biden is hearing footsteps. he knows that his presidential campaign is in trouble because of his support for israel and gaza. you know, he's now received the moniker genocide, joe, and then that's coming large from his own base. that is not very helpful. so i think he's looking for a way out of this bind with that said, i don't truly believe the white house is pushing for a ceasefire, nor will it. i mean the fact they abstain, that's better than be towing it, but they did abstain. and meanwhile, are they gonna keep sending arms to israel? my guess is yes. and so what does that mean when he keeps sending arms to someone
3:56 pm
and by involved in a hot conflict? um, good goodness, goodness. if they, if you say that, and the reason i'm jumping on that thought process that you just shared with us is because i'm thinking, couldn't they stop it altogether? if they stop sending the arms where else is real, going to get those arms to be that? and that's what everyone has been saying to us could end this today with a phone call and they haven't made that phone call. they don't need a un security council resolution to do that or to end this. you know, there that we know that there's been what every 35 hours the us has been sending up arms and ammunition to israel during this conflict, which israel desperately need. so again, if they stop the arm shipments, then i'll believe it, but until that happens, i'm sorry. well, i see something positive about the resolution. i'm not that optimistic and i'll
3:57 pm
just have one more thing. i saw that the russians wanted it amendment to say it was a permanency spider that was rejected. so what does a higher main, i don't know. i don't know to be a like we would say in sports a break in the action of. thank you dan. uh, thank you, mark, really insightful stuff and i'm so glad that we had you guys on the share this information with us mark, we'll be looking for you again this week as the story continues to play out before we go. i want to remind you of our mission, which is simple, really of the silo the world as best we can got to stop living in these little boxes where you only believe what you and your friends believe truths don't live in boxes, truths everywhere. heinrich sanchez, i'll be looking for you again right here where i hope to provide a direct effect the
3:58 pm
the position i was suggesting bell great was suggesting that we send americans
3:59 pm
and the bridges on the drain and put on your bill is us. one of them of move dining probably now and the stone room when he is here, all the on use with the universities from us, the classes you know, the middle city. so what i need to file a possibility of this. most of our thoughts in this one is not as a guide you on a source or sit emotional run you it may be, you know, a lot less radioactive than the something is active uranium, but still it's radioactive and has toxins that the kid killed the laptop you want me to go and see what he's of us here. again, let's see the eco seats. the boeing good. i don't, you know, those huge a mold. were suggesting we fell great bill colors. what was
4:00 pm
the man the sense was prepared by radical islamist themselves, naturally facilitated by width and special services. special services in the appraisals so have a direct link to the head of russia's federal security service. the western powers, the later roll. and the reason that the terrorist attack in moscow, the london high court, ruled the week, it leaks down janna sancho spicy. gibbs, this is the kind of shows to pay a petition to the us, but also leave with a number of conditions at honda or you stopped diploma, said the western functions against russia are detrimental to all of europe. he makes that statement.
