yes, sorry the so hi everybody. this is the daily show that you've come to love. i hope that is very different because we hold no punches. so look for it. whenever you can. in today's division, we're going to recap a week of the wild headlines across the globe from well a speaker, speaker of the house that is, who says he bases his foreign policy decisions on his bizarre readings of the bible's to. but that is growing across college campuses. with students saying enough, killing enough mores ceasefire. now that's becoming a huge story. as a matter of fact, i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. the

hi. this is going to be interesting today. and before we get into those stories, i want to reduce our esteemed panel, our prestigious panel for today we are joined by political scientists, dr. wilmer leon, and political commentator, girl and nixon. both our co hosts of the critical, our catch it. it's good, especially when they have me on as a guest on radios putting. all right, so here we go. one of the most followed business networks in the united states has come out and is now confirming what russian president vladimir putin told tucker across it. it was ignored or discredited by western media at the time that mr. brewton said it, but now the i m. f has come out and confirmed. that's the international monetary fund. they're a big deal that rushes economy, despite serious sections and other castigation of which there had been many, has in fact surpassed the g d p growth of every single country in the g 7, including the united states of america. so now that we know it's true,

let's, let's take another lesson to mr. foot and maybe this time they'll believe him still a rush. it was the 1st account to me in europe last year, despite all the sanctions and restrictions. is it normal from your point of view, sanctions restrictions, g, impossibility of payments and dollars being cut off from swift services to the sanctions against our ship? scaring oil company, but it was sanctions against airplane, single somebody, sanctions in everything. everywhere that we make sure that goes to something unique . that sort of thing is that the largest number are sanctions in the world which are applied are applied against russia. and we have become europe's 1st economy during this time. so, you know, it's amazing the united states and nato, of course background. we remember they told us we're going to question, we're going to question whether the sections will look at this. take a look at this chart, look at that. that's russia across the top there. what they're measuring here by the way is g d p growth,

which is the most important and best way to measure the economy of any country. not total g d p, but g d, p growth and other words, where are you and where are you going? look at russia at the very top. now look at the united states right behind it, barely of what to write men and then you have the rest of the countries there that are in, you know, coming in just behind it. as a matter of fact, as long as i'm sitting here reading it, you've got to pan coming in around 2.0, canada around 1.5, francis coming in around one, the u. k, around point 5. compare that to what we're looking at. germany. mean, germany's below point 4 above below a point 5 and actually on the negative scale, if you look at what they have been doing recently. so i know i find this to be gentleman, a fascinating story because i'll be honest with you, you know, put in as a politician. let's face it when he said, i thought i better he stretched in the story a little bit. he wasn't know. uh, 1st of all, i believe that not only is he an attorney, but he has a ph, d,

and economic. so there you go. up. sanctions, don't worry, we're going to turn the ruble into rubble. is what president biden told us. and what, what, what we know is that sanctions don't work, they are more so political measures, so that the sort of job i and can tell us that we're actually doing something. what sanctions tend to do is they strengthen the power of the person in charge of the country being sanction because the sense of nationalism grows in the country as that leader can say, your plight is not dire because of me. look at what they are doing to us, and that then heightens the sense of nationalism. and so when you really wind up creating a circumstance that you claim you're trying to do that in concrete terms, they basically those sanctions made russian oil. uh, uh,

more expensive and more countries wanted it and india said, i'll take it, you guys don't want it in china said they'll take it then john is at the same and it runs at the same thing. so apparently it is okay. and so are in the sector and so in fact, the growth of russia and the russia basically laughing the g 7th a countries, was it in spite of the sanctions it was because yeah. sanctions. yeah. because of the same rate for halls. the g 7 countries to have slower growth and rush at a faster growth. and because russia is in the industrial arena, careful what you wish for. exactly. because it's both sanctions are bound to hurt the west more because we have our money a most of our g d. p is made in the fire, but they call finance insurance and real estate which are banking related and easily. so the subject to be heard by sanctions, russia sales hard things, people need commodities and they'll go around the around any kind of sanctions to

get the commodity. it's because they can't run their into their, their economies without them. it's a fascinating fee. they finish up on this because we're gonna go to the next topic . why is germany's g d p in the tank because they don't have access to cheap rush hour, so just say that number, but at the very bottom of the list, there you go. yeah, yeah, cuz now they get less gas. they've got to pay the rest of the industrialized their economies in india said they're going yeah. baby i like best deal. amazing. let's go to columbia university. it's not just columbia university by the way, but that's where some of the bigger process stuff taken place. although and why you yale calling for a cease fire and they are not alone. 200 university across the united states now have seen pro palestinian and anti genocide protest. here's what it looks like at yale n y u and columbia university the, the

. 2 you guys have seen what's going on, the mayor of new york says he's prohibiting purchase. now. they've called the police into a rest of the students. essentially, they are just protesting. as far as i know how they said and done some mean things, i'm sure they have. but last time i checked, the constitution says you can say whatever the hell you want about anybody, and you can be mean. this is an attack on the 1st amendment which michael johnson and so many others are now trying to do away with hm. and the really interest to basically, the israeli lobby design is lobby, has lost the debate. they've lost the argument. and these are the last gasps of them trying to salvage some semblance of legitimacy. and one of the things that is really telling not only looking at columbia,

looking at berkeley, looking at harvard jackson read high school in washington, dc for the air of student organization at the jackson read high school through the a. c o. u is suing the principle of the school for denying the error of american students from showing a documentary at lunch. so what i that was that the, the rest, the, the, the protest is now at the high school level in this country. that's saying they have lost the argument. well, you know, the other thing to keep in mind, i guess another contact out of politics is this 20082012 rock obama one. those are the people that one for the they the democratic party over the last several elections. okay. we're going out of the way to make sure and reasonably so that they were pulling places on all of the college campuses. i don't think they

need to waste their time doing that in 20. 20. no. as a matter of fact, i've heard from insiders in the, by the ministration that they're shooting with for old people to come out and vote for what was the last time you heard the democratic party was going to depend on old people develop that usually a republican party thing, speaking of old people, or at least old thinking people, you mentioned mike johnson, mike johnson. he has told us that he has position on gaza. and what he's doing there at columbia comes from his reading of the bible. in other words, the bible or the way he interprets the bible, not the way most. i'm a christian. i don't interpret the bible that way. most christians don't, but the way he interprets the bible that makes him determine how he's going to vote on foreign policy, especially on wars, and especially on israel. his words here they are of israel is a critical ally of ours. and i think most people understand the necessity of this funding, their funding for their very existence. they only stable democracy in the middle

east. i mean, of course there's, for those of us who are believers, that the biblical administrators stand with his ro, we will and, and they will prevail as long as they're there with them. and this is an important, very important symbolic gesture. and a very important replenishment of their stock calls, for example, of the iron don't the reason they shut down all those drones and missiles in the last attack by iran is because we assisted with that. i think the american people understand the importance of that for now, did you, did you hear that for, for, for hold on, hold right here. for those of us who are believers, this is a biblical admonition. well the and that's the worst part is that he referred to israel, is a stable democracy, stable democracy. the people are literally in the streets, screaming for the head of their leader at the same time, their bombing and slaughtering half of the population. i don't think that's the definition of a democracy, but wait a minute, didn't we? haven't we had these discussions in this country over the last 10 years about how we never want to be like the taliban and some of those other extremist

organizations in the middle east and other parts of the world who are religious, the seeing that are religious, the ok receive, you have to do how they interpret their gods commandments, and that's what they will make you do. whether it has to do with how women dress or whether they can drive. we were all against that and we've got this guy is gonna be doing the same thing. i think thomas jefferson told us that the 1st amendment was to prevent or to protect the separation of church and state. mike johnson is really speaking to the christian evangelicals, and he's also speaking to the christians. i n s t is not really score the 2nd people. he's not, he's not really speaking to uh, to the broader american electorate. and he wants to be sure that he garners and protects the support of those really just zealots. and there's a reason why we don't base our public policy on biblical interpretation. yeah,

because different people interpret those works different ways. funny when you're a country where you can only be one religion, let's see. who could i think of that's like that the jewish state of israel, but go on. well, he certainly couldn't making an argument under international law. he certainly couldn't make it an argument that he was representing the constituents because of the country. but the, because of the polls say that you want a permanent ceasefire. so i guess all you had left was to reach bit to is religious bags and as as lower said, reach out to what they consider a very important element in their, in their party. we're talking about also his visit to columbia university. and then there's another guy who's going around, he didn't get boot and he didn't go to columbia university. he went to china. we're talking about anthony blitz. and he is the state, the secretary of state of the united states of america. and he is again telling china what they need to do and china is telling him what he can do with it. we're going to play that for you when we come back, stay right there. the

march, the 22nd 1943. during the great petri, we'll take the shirts and munch fatality and 118, run down the belly, mercy, and village of clotting around the ship of the person. if i did the new wish in las vegas, yes or no. this one, most of the rooms, 240 you to you. $149.00 people died including $75.00 children of age was practically wiped off. the face of the la new blue loves the live arching could of charlotte was noisy, and we'll use porter as follows. oh, shoot was hard really. i really usually don't you feeling, you know? so the infamous battalion responsible for the atrocity included over $100.00

ukrainian national is from west and ukraine because of the picture. all right, let's see what. okay. and so far as the new e phone, that's a lot of those to you guys pursuing your opportune um with them. us customers declassified criminal cases from the central archive of the k g. b of the rules shed light on the atrocity announced the numerous questions that have remained an onset for many years. watch on archie when i 1st moved to rush, one of the most amazing things i found was the mazda of metro. in fact, as the very 1st phrase that i ever learned in russian was careful. so what makes this place so specially what secrets is of hiding to find out the

fund to the city with alexander pop up to the store and who studies the wonders of the moscow metro the part. so we told you about a self righteous individual who decided to take upon himself to go to columbia university and tell protesters that they can't both testers and that they're all bad people for doing so. here's another self righteous individual. his name is anthony wanted, happens to be the state, the secretary state of the united states of america. but other than china, this week shows up getting off the plane. they didn't blow him, but you've got to figure they probably wanted to try these officials without this statement directed right at blinking. that seems to let him know in the well in no uncertain terms, but china does not appreciate the meddling in their affairs. us, as i'm sure you know, because we've reported it here many times to escape taiwan. $8000000000.00 in money

and weapons so they can use it and eventually war against china. well, how do you think china reacted to that? let's listen. hello. in p. change you don't want me to type on the issue is china's internal affair, which tolerates no external interference. the insertion of taiwan related content and to the us congressional bill seriously violates the one china principal and the free joint communiques of china and the us and sends a wrong signal to the separate as forces in taiwan. we have formerly opposed to it . we urge the us side to honor his commitment of not supporting taiwan independence with concrete actions and stop arming taiwan in any way. want, sir, that stop arming taiwan in any way? that's a directive, i guess, that they're giving the united states united states is obviously not going to stop . it's fascinating. the think that somebody would give your enemy $8000000000.00 so they can attack you and kill you. and then the next week, we're actually just a few days later show up at your doorstep with flowers to say,

hey, how are you? i thought i'd come by, maybe we gotta have a job. i think just not sure i could do something like that in spanish. it's called having a very hard face. this guys gotta have a really hard face. well, it was interesting that that statement included the one china policy. so what she was saying was, you are violating your own, stated your own stated policy. and also there was no red carpet for so many blinking, he walked off the plane, stepped onto the tarmac. there was nobody there to greet him. and what this is really a replay of what we saw in anchorage a couple of years ago. if you remember when he met with the chinese delegation and acreage, they got up and walked out the room because they told tony blank. and we are not going to sit here and allow you to lecture us, we're china. do you know how much of your debt we hold? we're not gonna sit here and listen to that. don't tell us about human rights. we've been seeing what's going on with black lives matter on the streets of your

country. and julie said, don't tell us about free markets. yeah, because we are engaging in a free market system. and for some reason now america, you don't like the free market anymore. yeah. yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's a peculiar situation that's going on with china, and it's extremely peculiar to think that a lot of people maybe don't know this, but taiwan in china is eyes is a prominence of theirs. they see china, the way we see texas and imaginative tomorrow, texas which, by the way, texas had said this, says we want to separate ourselves from the rest of the union. we don't like those liberals in washington. we don't want to be a part of united states anymore, and by the way, you guys are screwed up our border. so we're going to go on our own. and the next a china or russia or some other countries as here is $8000000000.00. some tanks and some war plains. so you can use against washington. how would we like that? that's why i tried it says we're doing. absolutely. and there's another underlying story to this that i think is in critical that is critical. the wall street journal

in and now there are a number of other media outlets reported that the u. s. congress was preparing sanctions for china's and some of their banks were the, some of their economic system, their financial system with the, with the a allegation being that tony blink and will tell them to stop supporting the russians. and if they don't stop, yeah, there's lessons, they'll be sanctioned. but i think the chinese understand, that's just the pre text that the us is once they plan those sanctions, the sanctions are coming. whether is now whether it's 3 weeks from now, that's the week or so, i think they're not going to play by. but what's interesting about what you just said that i think many in our audience would probably find fascinating as well as they're doing everything. the united states seems to want to do everything possible to break up this global self community. yes, it, they, they don't like the fact that suddenly a china and russia are buddy buddy, iran, china, and russia are now buddy, buddy. iran is becoming buddy buddy with of all people, saudi arabia. meanwhile india is in with russia and china at the same time. this is

starting to look like a formidable reapply written around why, why would it be in response to american sanctions? oh, yeah. china and russia for the most part, have the have enhanced to their relationship primarily in response to sanctions. and a ron has gotten into the mix. why in response to sanctions and what we, the united states cannot accept the fact that the reality here is the, the geo political landscape has shifted from a unipolar world. yeah. to a multi polar word. yeah. and there is not a thing that anybody can do to stop it except maybe start world war 3, which sometimes i think is what we're kind of doing by farming. china is enemy. all right, let's talk social media before we go twitter or x or whatever the hell is called owner you on mosque, as accuse yesterday and government of trying to make decisions for the entire world

that happened because an australian authorities have chosen to try and remove a video of a gang member going into a church. this is sick and he stabbed the priest or the minister while he was doing his his sermon and was hobbling which it caused a lot of disturbances and australia. it's a pretty ugly scene. people are very upset where it happens, australia is prime minister thinks now that the law in mosque is a spoiled billionaire who should stay the hell out of australia is affairs, any sense? so here it is. i'm gonna play for you. the slow this guy is showing he's arrogant, sees a 1000000000 a either there in the, you know, the side see thing, sees above astray, involved. this isn't a bad sense of shape. it's about common sense and common decency and a, the, a mosque should show something. wow. so what do you think of that sweetheart? i was trying to do this. i couldn't quite well, it shows the great contradiction because if i try to go after twitter or, or social media, and i say, hey, you can't say you can't censor me. they'll say,

sorry, garland, this is a corporation and individual corporation. they can put anything they want on you can't so on for 1st amendment violation. but then the government can come back and say, we can tell them what they can and can't put on, because the government doesn't like it because we'll decide that it's in the best interest of the people or not. it's tremendous contradiction that this is this a card because as a journalist, i think i'm an absolute is i think everything should be fair play and let the viewer decide what's good or bad. however, when you're looking at a priest being stabbed in the heart by some 616 year old teenager, and the community doesn't want to see it and it's causing disturbances. i understand why australia is saying, please take this off. we don't want our people seeing this low, it's not only australia how many times, and we've seen this being in d. c. the city under siege. we see this all the time where a shooting has occurred. uh huh. it's on video. and what do they say?

first of all, they say this is very disturbing if you don't want to watch it turn away, right. and the other thing i say is we're stopping the video right before the shot is fired, right? yeah. so that you don't have to be subjected to watching this on your televisions. yeah, i, by the way, as a former producer and editor and local news for me, and here's obviously in miami is a lot of people might remember, we did have a rule and the rule is world never watch will never make you watch someone die. me . you'll never see someone die because it's just too much, it's over the pail. and i do believe that there should be certain standards in social media, but who would help makes the decisions and pulls it up to isn't the most. can his panel of experts who sometimes go one way, but then other type going other way and the government, particularly australia, they open this can of worms, you know, during covey. no one was worse than australia as far as you know, censorship. so they opened this can a were and by doing so much censorship, but now the public loops scrutinizes it every time the, the government was yeah,

it wants to and, and, and what the sense of something and say hey, it wouldn't let me do this. what about you? so they, they created this monster for themselves who wanted to say, well, the other question to me is the law must. what's your point? me? how many folks to your earlier point garlands have been de, platforms on twitter. yeah. but beyond me, and i would agree on the, on that where's the upside to this argument? i mean, you don't, you're saying that we need to see a gang member stab a priest at the altar. why? why do we need to know? that's a very, very good question for you. it's a very good, by the way, guys, before we go, how do you think this whole thing is going to end up with these protest? i mean, it's really, it's starting to pick up steam. i was really surprised to see the speaker, the house show up at columbia yesterday and start telling everybody what to do or what they can and can't say. but it shows maybe it says something low, is it? what does it say? it speaks volumes. as i said earlier, they have lost control of the narrative. and the, the last kicks of

a dying new will be the, the, the most desperate and, and that's what we are and $67000.00 a year, tuition to columbia. and you're going to kick much out of school for peacefully protests and you think you've got a protest with my kid. you will have a protest. me. yeah, yeah. what do you think it's gonna grow? and i think it's gonna continue to grow. i as, as a little bit. yeah. and it's, it's gotten out of hand, it's going to contain and you to grow. and i think it's going to it from a positive perspective that it's going to a blossom into the anti war movement that we need before these lunatics attack china or whoever else do you think uh, johnson did this because uh, i mean the, the money that he approved after saying he wouldn't. and he said that, how with the boy the plan for the border, not one penny for the border was not one plumb nickel is we like to say? do you think you did that because the 9000000 dollar. busy that he got from donations or do you think he really believes that his interpretation of biblical

times makes some need to, you know, it's interesting because one of the things that happened apparently, he was brief to by the intelligence community. and then, and let's say you said everybody in congress, their heart afraid of the intelligence community, once they hear that they get a free intelligence community has lots over and over again. we know that i don't want to spend the rest of the i think it is the fear that they'll get, you know epstein or something but it won't go back to your mind from contractors. yeah. go back. has committed a $100000000.00 to this 2024 election. and when you look at the campaign contributions, i think he was told where to go. he was told what to say. he was told what to do. and if it was this job, i think he's got a golden power sheet. wait, wait for him. you 2 gentlemen are the best and deserve the biggest of golden parish, or maybe even the golden stuff, the goal this done before we go. i just want to remind you of our mission here. it's pretty simple really. you know, we kind of want to be silo things. we don't think troops live in little boxes. i

think troops are everywhere. that's what we believe. this is direct impact on rick sanchez and i'll be looking for you again the hello and welcome defrost of full force here. we discussed some real in the i'm not sure come on. this was maybe a little show, a good this things for me was getting that with me is the non smoker in your mind restored enough to monday. so stuff with interested in show erica, by a demo print that issue and you're still or do i have to wake up moment?

but that's not, i was me for example of cards to train us man, that way people. so i right, uh, you're the most just what i want to move over here now is particularly that group didn't come around quite inflate them over the place. crazy. nice not aggressive. is it? absolutely. i'd rather proof of an issue with the much just isn't good. i use that this is vicky reed, i'll send you the wrong. i'm not ready to feel understood where so what i'll send you when you why am i still got shipment with us,

which is really nice with you. so you're still going yes. sort of the, the monthly is because really that's what happened in this forest village, 18 years ago. witness tests and things of those

things that are still needing for me to the people that allow them to down arrested in to be executed from the zip code to you for years. i sure i reach you and we name those who found and executed. 149 people. sure, right. well, no, i'm not going to be able to go through the the 80th anniversary of the tragedy. we present a documentary from the no study.
