the performance that still has people world wide shattering and debating days later . exactly like for reasons do in the local cafe for hours, right after a french film from all of us here. so it's international. thank you very much retaining in this. i will have more news you in 13 minutes time until then. rick sanchez. this hey with this week's episode all direct the the mother of rick sanchez. this is direct impact every day. more and more millions of people are reaching out to us and saying, thank you so much for the show. we say thank you to you for watching. here's what

we're going to be talking about today. we have some great news coming in at this point to sign him off. see if man, hon. yeah. and one of his body guards has been killed. so there are reports like that one all over the world. israel is on a parent assassinations free and where before only a fringe element in israel would have supported something like this. now the main stream is really, is behind this and much worse. we're going to tell you exactly what we're talking about. we're gonna show you in this program. this is direct impact. i'm rick sanchez. and let's do this. the oh my goodness. so much has been going on over the past 24 hours. let's try and get to the fax 1st and set this thing up for you. after being exalted by the united states political and corporate establishment, where he instructed the us congress on board policies. he instructed the us

congress right on board policy and essentially said that he would be escalating the war and gaza. the prime minister of israel has done exactly what he said he was going to do with the help of us funding weaponry and satellites. it has now gone even beyond what the us congress would have suspected that he would do is real, has begun executing a series of assassinations and killings. nothing more brazen than what they have done inside of your rom. once again, this one, a tug that has truly, i mean, reverberated all over the world watch. we have some great news coming in at this point to sign him off. see if man, hon. yeah. and one of his body guards has been killed and there are late breaking reports that a hamas leader was assassinated by israel. india. rodney and capitol of tyrone thomas says its political leader is smile, honey. a has been assassinated in teheran iran revolutionary guard has confirmed the death saying i mia and his body guard were killed and an attack on his

residence in the iranian capital. yeah, this has been breaking news all over the world for the past 24 hours. we're covering that as well. obviously. so using extremely sophisticated us intel hardware and missiles, israel assassinated the mass political liter. ishmael hahn yeah. they, they killed him after the presidential evaluation ceremony. there and iran, where he had met by the way, with the paula they waited for him to get to his residence and then they killed him . and several people who were around him at the time. it seems not that something like this. what happened on some sovereign territory that but before that israel a sort of assassinated another leader also on sovereign territory, this time with his bola, in a neighborhood in bay road. and there are no reports that we have been following about. i've been looking at over the past half hour since i'm a journalist as means something to make us let attacks in iraq. i've taken out members of an a, ronnie and back group. and just as i was getting ready to go on the air,

i started looking at the information coming over where israel has also killed. 2 journalists killed, 2 journalists, targeted 2 journalists who work for the network uh, algae 0 with a stripe from above. after once again, let me make it very clear targeting that the on slot of criticism against the israeli government. and the us for these attacks is massive. israel meanwhile, has not exactly come across as either apologetic nor even solution oriented. in fact, i want to share something with you. i think this is fascinating. i want you to watch is the i'm going to share with you. the very 1st reaction that came from is real, was a cabinet member. and here is how he reacted to to the news. again, this is globally broadcast. watch is really heritage minister. i'm retired a yahoo is the 1st senior is really official to react to the assassination of is now honey, i'm in a post on the social media platform x. he says,

this is the right way to clean the world of this film. no more imaginary peace agreements, no more mercy. for these mortals, he is destined makes the world a little better. can you imagine it's if you could possibly be less diplomatic than that? i don't know how you could do it by the way. and he's the heritage ministers, but the war ministries, a heritage and culture minister, i guess that's the heritage and the culture there. it certainly appears as if israel is making a concerted effort to escalate the war from the borders of gaza to the westbank in the m and 11 on and now iran. but this is also happening at a time when is real hard liners are pushing their will with what appeared to most civilized observers as extreme measures. let me give you an example of stay with me . your i want to give you this example. this is really important because this has been, we've been following this over the past 24 hours. this is something that in the

past would have been repelled by most of the as rarely population. but what may have been applauded by a small range element, right? but now it's being celebrated by horns of as riley's who are actually testing for the right to be cruel. i am not kidding. what i'm about to share with you would almost seem like it's made up, but it's not members of the of railey goodness that are for bidding military commanders from disciplining, disciplining id of soldiers who are raping their captives. you heard it right? no exaggeration. this is absolutely crazy, but it shows what the sentiment is in this country right now. here's a connected member getting mad when he's told, but 9 soldiers will be reprimanded for solemn isaac, innocent captives, some of whom it turns out were not members of a moss. they were just kind of sitting and citizens who were picked up in a rate as detailed in a report by the new york times,

the matter accused of torturing prisoners with a lead pipe by inserting it into their anus. and here is the reaction of the kinetic number, who is now supported by thousands of his railey citizens who have been protesting in support the of the side of me. that somebody's got a letter from the should have been at them and said that they may get cool o me time. very much the know okay. menu to yes. my name here, darcy, this is a member of the connecticut. again, according to reporting, the victims who had done this to them were not members of a moss and were not yet tried. but this connected leader now has the backing of dare i say the main stream it is real. in fact, i think we may have some video with this. people who now been protesting on behalf

of the sodomy saying leave the soldiers are alone. it's the right to sort of, i guess. i mean the, do we have that? let me see that. let me, let me see the videos and see what was there. it is sort of, these are a thousands and thousands of housing is going to st, defending the police officers and the idea of soldiers who have inside the mind. so i thought amazing prisoners, they say they leave them alone, don't reprimand them. these people are animals and they should be sort of most, this is crazy. how have things cascade and so far a field in israel and, and what's, what's, what is this going to lead to when it comes to both international politics and even domestic politics here in the united states middle, let me bring you in because, i mean, it's not just the fact that this thing is escalating conflict grading perhaps beyond the borders of, of gaza. but also some of the stuff that we're seeing inside israel is just, i never would have thought that the people i know it is real and others who are

zion. this sure would go as far yeah, rick, i just want to point out, i know you misspoke, but we want to clear clarify this for the viewers. the images we saw those protesters are of, is riley's who are pro sodomy pro rate, right when, when it is meant to dehumanize and increase the suffering of any palestinians. that's what those people were that we were just looking at. yeah. look, i think, you know, as you a form mentioned, we are at this, we're tipping point of whether humanity and civil society exist anymore. or if we are going to define, you know, humans to be on the same level as how you would got and, you know, treat a towel or a lamb. and according to the united nations human rights council, i'm look at it here. the, the office of the high commissioner,

the you and remember, let's remember israel is a member of the united nations in article 3 as well as i should point out there a signatory to the geneva conventions about how you treat any prisoners of war or any sort of captives or anything like that. article 3, within the u. n. human rights says in case of armed conflict, not of an, of an international character occurring in the territory of one of the high contracting parties. each party to the conflict shall be bound to apply as a minimum, the following provisions. one persons taking no active part in hostilities including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed on us to come back by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause shall in all circumstances be treated humanely without any adverse distinction. found it on race, color, religion, faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any similar criteria and part a says, no violence to life and

a person in particular, murder of all kinds, mutilation, of cruel treatment and torture that, i mean, come on that says it in plain language right there you are torturing these people that are in your cap to be and if the she was on the other foot, you know the outrage that we would be seeing wreck well, but that's the point. and, and i think that's what so, reveling in this relevant in, in this case. see, i misspoke again, so we don't have to look at just this one case. i mean, yet this is horrible. the fact that they were shot amazing people that they had just picked up in a raid. and as it turns out, some of these people were not even members of a mass. they were just people, they picked up, i guess. yep. like members of a mazda, but you can go to pick, talk, you, you, you can go on twitter, you can go on social media sites and literally see i, the members shooting and killing people and doing all kinds of tortures acts and bragging about it. and turning it into videos and singing to it and picking their

pictures, smiling in. but after going and people's properties and an extra bit bodies. this is, this is beyond the pale. and unfortunately, and i think this is the point that i'm trying to make them in the line will close out with this cuz we've got to get to elijah, our guest who's standing by the phillotson on what's going on right now. and 11 on my point is in the past, this would have been accepted, not just in israel, but in every society. every society always has their weirdoes, their fringe element. so want to go to the extreme, what i'm seeing now, and what i'm hearing from my friends in the israel, is that they're not happy that their country is now becoming not just a fringe element. that's backing those kinds of things. but the main street, when tens of thousands of people go to the streets, protesting them on behalf of sodomy, as you just said, i don't know. i may have said palestinians, thank you for correcting me. i mean,

this is a tipping point. yeah, this is a weird place, a weird juncture that we're at in the world reg, as we had covered earlier in the week with the olympics, the opening ceremony and the strange, bizarre yeah. performance that they put on that was kind of a desecration and a major insult to christian followers and believers all around the world that you really have to start to question. if we are at that tipping point, a society where there's no more decency and decency well longer exists, even if you're bound to it by law, such as the geneva conventions, i've had to leave a convention like they give a crap about that. i mean, please, they don't care about the you and they don't care about the geneva convention, and they basically make their own mazda are unexcused within their own investigations. and by the way, they're not the only ones. the question is, what can the united states or what should the united states or others perhaps now do about this, and that's where the rubber meets the road. all right, let's do this. thanks manila,

great conversation. this is what the whole world is talking about right now. we're going to be heading to a break currently because we're continuing to keep all of our fingers on the pulses of the situation is craziness. really. that's going on right now in the middle east with a i've never thought these words would ever come out of my mouth, but a country is involved in a spray of assassinations as we speak, elijah mon, yay! is a veteran war correspondent, a political endless. 35 years of experience and cover covering wars in the middle east and elsewhere. he's going to join us next to take us through this bizarre day . thank you so much. will be right back the, there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the or is the case for the med, most of the people. i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also a pursuit. this is the 3rd world lunacy re washing press for. so the funder line likes to say we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deal

. so just let me real nice to have very close propaganda. you know a price here in new york. i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the question. the more questions ask the better the answer is will be there was a time when i started to was abused to retain flowers divided the continental langford amongst themselves. it was divided as a hunting ground. if we do not unite the corner knives as we come out again, we know that they are those who want the mazda continent to stop and 8, but the mazda clinton, and never be stopped, because the mazda continent must be great. she will only be great. on the shore does all of us sons and daughters on by the sweat. all right,

so now click on the goodwill time full on let us confess about underground east the mazda clinton, the of the ok. welcome back. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. my next guest has a lot to say about what's going on with the assassination of this. how moss liter, take a look at what he just wrote israel and the us. he says, or writes, have sent a belligerent message to a ron lebanon and a rock that they want war spied calls for the escalation from the us, who were well aware of this assassination. no decisions have been taken yet, but war is knocking on the doors of the middle east. those are the writings of elijah monterey who's a man of drugs who wrote that image in and is good enough to join us now to talk about this, you know, it's funny you say the. 3 the us knew about this,

i'm hearing the same reports that basically is real, picked up the phone and told the us, we're gonna essentially use a missile to assassinate somebody inside the solver in the country of iran. that's a big deal. it. hello rick. i thank you for having me. it is indeed because the americans fast enough in the last 2 days, send the message to laughter then to the speaker. and that'd be very saying that there are no attacks against the root. all this stuff up, all the apple and then getting everyone to the skate. and then they met with the immediate, uh, like the all money and the cut that re sending messages to iran and saying, we don't want to go to why the war. and we don't want to skate, so let us for the escalade and allow a d between ease ryan and have him us to be

a cheese. and then we had the american saying, where we knew about the attack and they live in east capital because the set up a route was attacked. this is where these really gated one of the top headphones like commanders and several civilians wounding more than 85 people. and then they have at that another capital that is the wrong getting the political leader of him us. that is my n e a. when he was a host at the cetera, many of and the rainy and president who was extending his and for peace with the west and saying, i want to do reconciliation. i want to lift the sanctions. and i want to sort out all the problems with the what the west and then the americans go and boom, bought another capital that is baghdad, attacking the iraq, the security forces that had to shot be a 3 different location. and then today we had about an assessing nation,

often these re all new reign in the office in the capital of syria, damascus. and then several days ago, these really that, that a, for the day that in the image. so now, so these all belligerent messages that i'll send by these read to you and then to run to syria, to iraq, and to let been an escalating. because been, i mean, that then, you know, wants to drive the americans with him to wind the war. and the american seems walking along because maybe there is nobody in the white house who's taking decisions these days. yeah, that's interesting that you would say that because there really isn't. i mean, we have right now, obviously the weakest condition for a president in the history of the united states with mr. biden, who seems to be practically a corpse at this point. and then we have come a lot, harris, who is very busy running for president,

which means she's being told where to stand, where to sit, what the say, etc, etc. so she's being handled, shall we say? that means that there is an opening there for someone with authority to step in and take charge. and it looks like that person is benjamin. yeah. who am i wrong? you are absolutely right. nothing. yahoo understands how to deal with the us administration, and this is what he said from the sides beginning. he did not divide by anything that the americans said. he asked them only to continue supplying him with weapons with soldiers because they've sent 2000 of the debt. that's true to the people including experience in general. he is asking for intelligence support and he's asking for all the support that he can get from the americans and europeans and particularly the germany that is supplying is there a with 30 percent off the weapons. but he also gave the americans at based on

saying that this can work as a negotiation paper. and then he does. some of the guys did saying was no by didn't did not present the paper properly. and the all many howard's in the document that is right presented to america. so he is doing exactly what you want and the americans all for the way it seemed that kids, one that is leading america by didn't those, whatever he wants. and he is fighting on america on his sides. iran, iraq, syria, the young man and levin. what do you think will be the be the reaction from the rest of the world? because you know, if you can get away with it, right, you can say all you want about the yahoo, you can and then now you can say he's a bad guy and how dare he do this, etc, etc. but looks to me like he's a guy who gets as well, you know what he wants to do, he goes out there and he does it. and then people like you sit here and going,

mike, like you would may sit around having conversations going. i can't believe that they would do something like this, and i can't believe that united states would let them do something like this. who's going to push back, who is pushing back? well, that's the privilege of being part of the western club and have the support of the united states of america. and having this support, you can do everything you want by buying anything and the national laws by considered as thorough as nation by the un secretary general antonio terrace, by a consider as it was proven to by the international vote, a permanent port. and then the international bolt of justice asking is right to stop the war and stop behaving as it will criminal and being conduct the investigation. and to try and accusing is read off intent of genocide. despite all that you can do whatever you want. as long as you have the blessing of america,

because as rich stevenson was told, when he came to an office in 2018 human rights are after a clickable only against our enemies, but not against our friends. so what about china? what about russia? what about brazil? what about south africa? what about uh, you know, a rom itself or, uh, saudi arabia, all these countries who are forming this uh, group, you know, we call them the global south. we call them bricks, whatever you want to call them. they are forced to be reckoned with, but i don't hear him say anything because there are 750 american bases around what they all the one who can talk and impose whatever they want. they all dictating the policy up on the web, and they could, they have the top or head gemini, now the, the trolling and all through us. and the total rise ation is a process that we need decades to be achieved, get back and spend more than the $6070.00 is to reach wherever they all today. but

to today the global south and the brakes and shun guy corporation, off trying to form some audiences not to stand against the you guys, but to liberate themselves from the sanctions. but the problem today is, what are the western values that we claim to have and how wrong people are going to watch? nothing, you know, doing whatever he wants and watching the kidding of the civilians of the philistines considering them, as i remember southern minding the prisoners because they considered them as alamos . and it seemed a, something in these redesign is that they allow. so the amazing i don't want, so maybe that that the case and the hold was huge watching and doing nothing. so it's almost like clarion call, not just through the world but to ourselves. i mean, i'm an american, i'm very respectful and i love my country. i don't love my leaders or the way they

behave, but they're there. it almost like there's an energy that needs to be manifested between people like new people like me, like the millions of people here in the united states who can't stand that them. yeah, i would say what it. busy including many of them were jewish americans by the way, who, who, who, who needs something to get behind. and i'm not sure what that thing is. you know, elijah or what it is not really rocket science to things retire, divide, use and respect that the nation, the rules. that's it. the, all new values in this war that they bring. i mean that and you know, is conducting and again depend a senior civilians. when joe mining came out and he said several months ago, the all 50000 civilians, kid and the number is move then can be bad. so what did he do about it? that is, the problem is that you think, you know the truth. what are you going to do about it? if you want to respect international roles and you don't, then this is oh you,

wow. so the road is extremely simple, but should be a click of a on every one. yeah, sounds like the words of martin luther king. i guess we need to end by getting your appraisal of where things are going. now, obviously, the word that's being fearfully as founded all over the world is escalation escalation. how far can this go? are we looking at a wider war? one that's going to involve the united states and its allies, iran, and its allies, and perhaps some other countries. what's your best guess, elijah? i think the problem is today that ron and 11 non they all going to redone to 8 they comp allow is rise to get away with it. otherwise, these relays will go further and we'll stop bone being even more objective in the top of design, 1811 and iran software. and these. but the problem is,

what is really going to do with the retaliation all day. going to retaliate to the retaliated attack, and then an ice for the night, and the whole world would become blind. in this case, the middle east is risking to become the line. you mean the whole place is probably going to be on fire potentially very soon. most probably if nobody d. s can a and if the americans, instead of putting pressure on been here, mean that then you know, to stop the war and go to a deed, they sent troops and more armies and more munitions. they, me, they are encouraging that then. yeah. how to continue the war. this is not the way to de escalate. yeah, and i think that is probably going to potentially have an effect domestically in the united states in terms of the presidential election as well. if this thing does actually escalate or conflict. great. um, eliza,

you're awesome. guess thank you so much for taking time to take us through this. we appreciate it. thank you very much for having me. we'll be talking you again. that's our show. thank you very much for being with us. remember, always to be looking outside your own boxes. we like to say choose if they don't live in boxes. i'm rick sanchez. i'm gonna be looking for you next time. the in the late 1892 french soldiers led by general pool with a arrived india with the goal of expanding french control in west africa to the territory of more than shot. the most funny, i mean, he's stuck up some issues with all the cars and just showing the list to the tent, the overlay on least one of the most horrific campaigns of

a trustees to have ever taken place in the history of the continent. liability getting hold of somebody, i know the pushing it to download the glassy pablo dare to do so they put the national most likely multiple villages with devastated a numerous members of resistance groups with the headed off that department for us to get the move of nancy and i'm going to be a young investigator in search of his own identity inbox. i'll let you, i mean, to africa. the traces general who with eyes, blood drenched roots in an effort to establish how your legacy still echoes throughout the confidence. so my name is sam and i come from england and i've come really to find out more about the, the mission of lake and the history of in, in the region. the

a large scale prisoner exchange by rush to the us and several other countries has been broken by a 2 men, but they take us citizens, evan dish commits cole, we look at, we can get it back in the us and russia on the list of move into the prison is being exchanged, this phase of the ron and dropped it into a sea of mourners today as thousands gather to paint there with bags 2 point oh liter. it's mine honey. i hope. what does the acetate? a piece of wand on wednesday. as soon as people gather in tear on to mournful assassinated thomas be the issue at hand. the attentions royce between iran is.
