is our aiming to ensure that to manage their own, it makes its way to does the end, the organizing, another round of ships to of course take course to the gaza strip people. a lot of them on the 2 things. the 1st is free. i didn't go up, they went to an 8. does that. and 2nd ceasefire, it's very simple. this is what you're doing. that's why i did that for them for the love dislike failing. that's why we are asking all over the world and leaders. let's take extra them to, for the answer and imitating a, the ceasefire. stealing they'll be trying to organize, do they said they should be having a problem because these ladies are trying to step out for that full for the countries. because as you know, the issue, a ship must have a flag to sale. so the legacy, one of the country, a near the is that is communicating the country and making print a ship. so now we are trying to sort out this problem apply each and every come through to get to do is connect folders sitting there. if it is a couple of the ships that were under the flag,

a longing to get it be so have withdrew their ships. many people claim that the is released have applied enough pressure to ensure that the decision came through. and this adds further pressure to the organizers to ensure that they take care of the logistics and ensure that the flow tell us are the ships do leave these dots, spencer to make its way to the palestinian strip. but there's also a great deal more complications as the organizes are trying to battle with that. the flow taylor has been delayed by a number of weeks at this point. and they are hoping to ensure that the ships leave as quickly as possible and the support in which they are referred to as a global assistance will make its way to palestine, ensure that many of the aid that the palestinians need can be of course, provided one more issue in this respect is of course the response that the is really, as we'll show, we understand that in the early 20 times when a similar flow to the try to break the siege. that was established against the policy and people ships or rated by these rarely forces. and we can expect

a similar outcome if not worse, if the ships are to lead these dogs and attempt its way to gaza. and before we go, some breaking news for you, scotland, suppose minister, he's not in for his criticism of british policy towards the conflicts in garza. as announced his resignation comes a use of how stated that he's going to step down as the leader of the scottish national party and the success that has yet to be found. or coming your way next, rick sanchez with the latest episode. all direct impact. and we'll be back with a more news in just under 30 minutes. bye for now. 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 move. but that is growing across college campuses with students saying enough killing enough wars 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. wilmore leon, and political commentator girl and mixing both our co host that'd be critical, our catch it. it's good, especially when they have me on as

a guest on radio. sputnik. 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 mister bolton said it. but now the i m. f has come out and confirmed. that's the international monetary fund. there are 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 take another listen, the mr. put maybe this time bill, believe him still a rush. it was the 1st account to me in europe last year despite all the sanctions and restrictions, or is it normal from your point of view, sanctions restrictions to the impossibility of payments in dollars being cut off

from swift services to the sanctions against our ships carrying oil company, but it was sanctions against airplane, single somebody, sanctions in everything, everywhere. now we make sure that goes to something unique that the me, yes, it's the largest number are sanctions in the world which are applied are applied against russia. you see, 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 one of the sections. we'll 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, in other words, where are you and where are you going? look at russia at the very top to now look at the united states right behind it. barely of what to right then and that. 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. i 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, you 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. first 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 sanctioned. 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 to try to say they'll take it then john, is that the same? and it runs at the same thing. so apparently it sure is okay. and so we're in the sector and so in fact, the growth of russia and russia are basically laughing, the g 7th a countries, was it in spite of the sanctions?

it was because of the sanction. yeah. the cause of the sanctuary. phone calls, the g 7 countries to have slower growth and russia that faster growth. and because russia is in the industrial arena, be careful what you wish for. exactly, really because it's the 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 subjected 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 g d p in the tank because they don't have access to cheap brush or bathrooms yet, but i was so just say that number of the very bottom of the low stay you got? yeah, yeah, cuz now they get less gas. they've got to pay the rest of the industrialized their

economy in india said they're going yeah, baby i like this 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 protests have 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 and why you and columbia university. the you guys are seeing what's going on. the mayor of new york says he's prohibiting uh, uh, purchase now. uh 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 me. 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 principal of the school for denying the error of american

students from showing a documentary at lunch. so what that was that the, the rest, the, the, the pro test 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, and the contact out of politics is this 20082012, iraq obama, one. those are the people that one for he had they the democratic party over the last several elections again with going out of the way to make sure and reasonably so that there were polling 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 bind administration 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 his position on gaza and what he's doing there at columbia comes from to 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 questions don't, but the way she interprets the bible and 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 administrative stand with israel, 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 shot 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 admission. 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 extreme is 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 can 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 his religious bags and as, as little more 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 boat 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 show seemed wrong. just don't

you have to shape house to come to an engagement. it's mostly trail. when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground the the, i'm not sure come on this as they do show a good this things. let me ask him that way. see me is the non smoker in your mind store enough to monday. so stuff with interested in show erica, by a demo print that issue in your store. do i show eric along with one of our that's not as an example of catch the trailer span that we could buy that so i didn't want that right. uh yeah, yeah. 2 much that's what i want to move over here, but as of now it's particularly like cut them around and switch them over

these crazy nice old crest. is it? absolutely, i'd rather proof of an issue with the much just isn't good. that this is the key 3 of us and you can be the one. i'm not very good. feel interest worse then you're going you. why am i still thought? sure. what with us with you may see what my speeds are still going. yes. sort of the fight. so we told you about

a self righteous individual who decided to take it 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, what happens to be the state, the secretary state of the united states of america, living in china, this week shows up getting off the plane. they didn't blow him, but you gotta figure they probably wanted to track these of visuals 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 and their affairs to 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, let's say, hello and potential jungle and me to type on issue as time has internal affairs, 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 since a wrong signal to the separate is forces in taiwan. we have formally 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. they are 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 to 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 could have a chub. 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 tony 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 blake, 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 saying what's going on with black lives matter on the streets of your country. angel said, don't tell us about the 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's eyes is a province of there's, they see china the way we see texas and imaginative tomorrow, texas which by the way, texas has 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 borders, so we're going to go on our own and the next a china or russia or some other countries as here's $8000000000.00, some tanks and some war planes. so you can use against washington. how would we like that? that's what trying to says we're doing. absolutely, and there is another underlying story to this with that i think is in critical if it is critical, the wall street journal in and out. now there was a number of other media outlets reported that the u. s. congress was preparing sanctions for china's with us. some of their banks were the, some of their economic system, their financial system. with the, with the allegation being that tony blinking 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 it's now, whether it's 3 weeks from now, that's the week or is it 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 they, 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 redesigned waiting around why, why would it be in response to american sanctions? oh, yeah. china and russia for the most part, have the, have a enhanced to their relationship primarily in response to sanctions to and

a rod 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 warrior. and there's 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 a ques 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's the priest or the minister while he was doing his his sermon and was hobbling which 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 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 it for you. well this guy is showing he's arrogant, sees a 1000000000 a either there in the, you know, the side see thing, sees above astray in law. 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 cancel and for the 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. this is, this is hard 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 whilst ray is saying, please take this off. we don't want our people seeing this, well, 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. mm hm. 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 in editor and local news for many years, obviously in miami is a lot of people might remember we did have

a rule and the rule. busy is, will 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 it wasn't up to, isn't the most, can his panel of experts sometimes go one way, but then other types going other way. and the government, particularly australia, they opened 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 looks scrutinizes it every time the, the government was yeah, it wants to and, and what the sense of something and say, hey, you 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 to how many folks to your earlier point, garland had been de platforms on twitter. yeah. well 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. the point. it's a very good, by the way, guys, before we go how, 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 in 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 mule 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 a peaceful protests and you think you've got a protest with my kid, you will have

a protest. me. yeah, yeah. where do you think it's going growing? i think it's going to continue to grow. i as absolutely, yeah. and it's, it's gotten out of hand, it's going to continue 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 help with the board. the plan for the border, not one penny for the border. one, not one plumb nickel is we like to say. do you think you did that because the $9000000.00 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 or fried, of the intelligence community, once they hear that they get a free intelligence community has lied 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 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, if it was this job, i think he's got a golden parachute wait waiting for him. you 2 gentlemen are the best and deserve the biggest of golden parish, or maybe even the golden stuff, the golden stuff 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 silent 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

the, the top story is this, how ukranian troops continue that retreat? washington fresh, a package. the key of this fall from reality of what the feeling and control is are intended. and i said it has no major issue resolved, but considering the as well as most recent proposal support along the way to pay still postage release equipment and gone to as the groups delegation arrived in egypt also ahead. the folks zillow has been delayed by a number of weeks at this point time that they are hoping to ensure that these ships lead as quickly as possible. protest is in tech, a rally to support an international age. so to let to garza and to cease fire cold in place on similar.
