is also is has people has technologies, it actually will stimulate the economy. and so is being really backfiring. i'm only europeans who have made to, to suffer under these us impose sanctions but they've been exemptions, as you mentioned, the probably measures for hungry and slovakia. they've continued so funds originally and to receive all supplies from new calling from russia, but that's now being stopped unilaterally by you train. and that's been quite a surprise to these countries that could create a problems in the area. and so if i can economy, professor, i'm wondering how the key of sale to consider the consequences when they introduced this ban on russian oil, especially given that ukraine ultimately wants to become part of the european union . yes, exactly. well, we can only suspect that perhaps even somebody in the you may have taken congress

or, you know, i mean to use the political browser, 9000, maybe somebody in name to who may have encouraged ukraine. we don't know, we can only speculate on that, but it is quite bold with them to do it. therefore, it's likely they will offer somebody whether it's the us or nato leadership or somebody in brussels and, and, but actually it is very short sighted and it, it, technically legally it can be done. and particularly the you of your king commission cannot condone this because the fact is ukraine is not a member of the you is also not a member of nato. where is hungry as lucky at all. and the brain has signs and an exception type of agreement in order to be considered in the future for potential membership. and so they awesome kind of, you know, could be missing face of a bus. it's a gains that agreement that now e u countries are being, have put in that economic growth and development and the imports because the price

is only a transit country and, and in this, in that contract. and it shouldn't suddenly block energy off to you countries. so we will see now whether the, you still has, has some kind of reading and all of the lawfulness left. and by stepping in and telling your brain, no, you can't do that. and if not, then that would be um, quite kelly. because um, you know, the in law and order is not no longer in place and in the you. all right, we're gonna leave it there economist in budapest, metropolitan university professor richard warner, professor, thank you for your time. ok. thanks very much. right to stay with our to international up next on direct impact. rick sanchez reviews a whirlwind week and he was pumped 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 and decided the best way for it is a past the tours for new generation. all our enemies should know there's those who attack israel will pay a very heavy price. 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 weekend review. let's to it 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, wilmer. thanks for joining us. as always, rick is an honor pleasure to be with you today. all right, let's talk. 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? it 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 the vin and vigor. and giving a speech where he gets a, a standing ovation. i 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. by the last night speaking, nobody seemed to care or watch it. but anyway, here it is. when ben franklin was asked as you emerge from the account back to the convention right now for the founders have given america monetary republic frank and we 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 he kept pock anymore, at least not a cap, 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? i oh, well i'm glad you said that he meant ben franklin because i thought he was talking about how frank in minnesota. my name's thank you for that clarity. right? yeah. the optics, the optics you're, you're absolutely right. uh, this shows the weakness of the american presidency. it shows uh, it shows how co opted our politics has become both sides of the aisle or an 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. based 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 about the united nations and the international criminal court. just just, just to say, i don't want people think i was 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 shouldn't 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, a 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 of the new york times, who do you think has the best chance of beating trump? who do you think is a strong as candidate? this is before she was right about the time she was named. look at her picture there on the left compared to all the other candidates. she is, the whiskey is choice as the president united states. now the only reason i'm

putting that up is that 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, no, no, not at all. uh, 1st of all, because the, the, the democrats, primary season was truncated fast. uh, they, in, in a number of states. other viable options were not allowed and were 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 com, a harris. i was amazed at how quickly the media shifted and how quickly the money is pouring in. bit and, and based upon a 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 money. it should not be given to her. what's your guess? what's your good? which again, what the point you just made is the point that we make when we go around the world . something 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 that country a voice. what i just said describes exactly what the democratic party has done exactly to the t. 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. picking 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. 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 into 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 talk about including the media for the last time. it's 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 carmela harris went to care. com, trying to convince the caricom states to back to you to be to the black face on the white imperialist re evasion of haiti. i call that minstrel diplomacy for 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 isn't easy, right? and 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 what you're going to replace them with?

yeah. because look at how close look at how close she is. the hillary clinton, the neil kind of neil carnes. 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 libya. 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. ringback 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 us 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 vis. try that again. she was viciously savage, 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 until directed to you because donald trump is alive and thank god he is, you look incompetent. if donald trump had been killed, that you would never look comfortable. now, director, it'll, the, would you agree that this is the most serious security labs since president reagan was shot in 1981 of the secret service. yes sir, i would. yeah. 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 resign, you resigned. so um she deserves to get the crap beat out of her and she did the, the secret service, the way they handled this. assassination of tap was deplorable. horrible. that's like keystone cops, kind of crap. i agree, i get it. but it also tells me off a little bit to watch these incompetence accuse 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 jobs, giving me a break. well, to that point, some of these ask them the question, how did they vote? and pass for now i'm a nation in the 1st way. 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. i 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 beginning isn't. yeah. who's beach. don't go away. the hello and welcome to the cost of full war. here we discuss the wheel in the

hey, welcome back to direct impact. i'm rick sanchez, recapping awhile we can uh 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 is dr. wilmer leon co host of the critical hour on radio spot in 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 really 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 the, the, i'm a do is american. 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 the arms embargo on israel and said no more weapons,

city is really miller funding. the needs we can not be funding. yeah, that was sort of impressive, but i thought that that that sound bite as we 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 real i'm are 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. to wrap your head around that but let me quickly say make a correction to the state, but i made a 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's for 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 the other young lady were saying is there, there, jews, they're not scientist. yeah. and, 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 the holocaust turn around and impose

those very same genocidal atrocities on another people? yeah, it's interesting. how can the united states funded back it and paid for? yeah, let's talk about that a little bit. because benjamin, that's a guy who has come before law makers 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 to notice 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 and 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. enter. jack interfere in to the 2024 american electric. uh huh. that's not my, that's the, i'm not making that up. go to the. yeah, sure, sure. or no rush on such. 1 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. for think, rush, you know, it was about to even get into that. but roger, what's 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 and they're gonna 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'd threaten to arrest that anybody who disagreed with 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 to the best of my knowledge. however, tomorrow will be unique and bringing 5 minutes for nothing yahoo! to address a board 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 as really some 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 is really dollars which we give to them. and then they

used 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 lack that's in violation of a number of american law. so we are violating our own now in supporting genocide. before we run out of time, since you raised that point, i want to talk about your old girlfriend coming on harris. and the fact that 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, uh, negotiate for the sake of political expediency on the front end, and then try to claim the moral high ground on the back end. you. that's called here park receipt. and i like you for telling it like it is. you always do. thanks part i try, i appreciate somebody time with you. always do dr. well, i'm really on. thank you and thank you for watching us once again. and i always say this, remember to look outside your own boxes cuz truths don't live in boxes. i'm rick sanchez. will be looking for you again. very soon. the

breaking news on r t you crank confirms it's intelligent services are supporting separatists in africa. this comes as a wagner bmt fighter looking to shows the evidence side of the recent class in molly. and also i have the late you went in last around with me and the card and the bulk x ray, they're to the country. so that's the message from nicholas venturo to the arts in time later, they called for ben as well as military to intervene after the incumbent leader was re elected to a 3rd. and the state of these will will not and cannot lift this pass. our response will come and it will be harsh as the is really a prime minister viras or event for their lives because the goal on heights attack on.
