high speeds, they're still going. yes, sorry. the fire everybody. this is a daily show that's somewhat different. so glad you're there. we hold no punches. so look for it. truth problem. number one. donald trump says he's got to stop dollarization. can he do that? i'm going to show you what he said, groupon number, tote, the most self serving, and dishonest correspondence dinner. you will ever see. it just took place in washington. d. c. droop um. number 3 more violence, more arrests as pro israeli forces in the united states are told to cut down all those protesters more than $200.00 colleges and universities and we,

we have the pictures to prove it. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact the so regardless of community led by brazil in india, with russia and china, not too far behind our yearning for a more fair global current. so you know that right. but donald trump has just come out recently and said that if he becomes president, he will punish those who even think about substituting the dollar for another currency. you know, i will, how likely the push toward the dollarization came about because of the sanctions. another penalties that were put on russia in 2022 after the west, unplugged russia, from the global financial system entirely and seized its assets,

developing economy, solve that, and then they ask themselves, what will, what if we come after us? what do they do at the us? places like brazil and india and they're on and other started asking themselves. and that is why in january of 2023 briggs, the global south group that includes brazil in russia and india and china and south africa. now, many more announced that it wants to create its own currency to bypass the us dollar a med, washington's dangerous sanctions crates. former president trump says i will not let you do that. here's this quote. i hate when countries go off the dollar. i would not allow countries to go off the dollar because when we lose that standard, that will be like losing the revolutionary war, illusionary war. anyway, that will be a shit to our country. so says the former president, donald trump. okay. now here, you know, i can't help but think when i hear that,

yes, it would be, i see it through a country which sounds exactly like what washington, our country are. politicians do when they freeze the assets of other country when they steal the gold reserves and other countries when they sanctioned the companies of other countries. and when they threatened other countries from doing business with whatever country we don't like at the time. joining us now to discuss this is ted rall. he's a syndicated columnist and an officer and an award winning cartoonist also angie wong. she's a co host of the final countdown on radio spot next. thanks so much guys for joining us. i guess we start there. you know, it's interesting, tad, i'll start with you that the former president will come out and say. busy that this is what i'm going to do because it's not fair that they would be considering taking out the dollar ization. as i recall, he was responsible for as many sanctions on countries as any other president we've had recently was yeah, he was one of the interesting aspects of donald trump as

a political personality, is that he's very, very adept at identifying problems in a way that many other american politicians are not, the problem is, is proposed solutions. and this is one example of that is totally right. but this would be, as you said, in the lee in the intro here, it would be a major problem for the united states. yeah. dollars, they would present some major economic and political challenges. now that says the answer to that is not to come down like a ton of bricks, no pun intended. on the 1st countries, the idea is to go is to lose is to show, is reassure and the world. don't worry, we're gonna unwind the sanctions. really make sure that when you invest in us dollars as a reserve currency or you have your assets tied up in dollar denominated securities, whether they be in europe or the us or somewhere else, that no one's gonna touch them. your capital will be safe. that your us dollars

will be fine, no matter where they are, even if we don't like your politics or we don't like the war that you happen to be involved in. if he does that, he might be able to reverse this trend. but until he but this is the opposite of that. and he, i got one for you this weekend, celebrities, multi millionaires, politicians and members of the corporate media in america all came together to get drunk and to tell each other how, how wonderful they all are. this is called the national correspondence dinner. i'm sure you either attended or heard of this. it's an event which in the past at least a loud and for song dosages of honesty. but this year it was horribly disgusting. it was a share of an event. we're some dude from saturday night live with a very attractive phase side of that life. for those of you watching us overseas isn't nbc comedy show on saturday nights. so this guy goes up on stage and he tells everybody what a hot. busy old person, donald trump is and what an incredibly great human being like mother teresa is kind

of person, joe biden is. and so when you look at the levels of freedom throughout history and even around the world today, this is the exception. this freedom is incredibly rare. and the journalists in this room help protect that freedom and we can not ever take that for granted the semester president. i thank you for your decency on behalf of my grandfather. and i think all of you, almost all of you for your decency as well. i am very honored and grateful that you invited me here tonight. thank you and good night. pardon me for saying this, but as i watch that i want to vomit in my mouth and i'm sorry, but the most person ever and those people who are there are also incredibly,

incredibly decent. are they really angry? oh my goodness, everyone in that room is part of the flight in state media. they're only being invited because they're kind to bite in and that to trump. traditionally the white house correspondents dinner is a roast, usually roasting the president. you have several people going up on stage to take, you know, a silly punch on, you know, the man in charge our commander in chief, but this time, no, let's just, let's just blow a lot of air. like it's just the whole thing is that the fashion was bad, the hair was bad, the speeches were like you like even more today. other not networks are not we publishing what's being said because it was so awful as part of the sweat. but understand everyone in that room is so scared to say anything bad about bite and because they will be just invited from the white house from this point forward. that how decent is it to continue

a war and ukraine where the poor ukrainians and run out of soldiers, and you're doing everything possible to an violate the population of the country. how decent do you have to be to see israel massacre some 15000 children? apparently kill some 50 that 32, maybe 40, maybe 50. who knows really cuz nobody's really counting. but we have some unofficial numbers, palestinians in gaza. how decent do you have to be to make sure you're the person responsible for making sure that happen? just a question to a look i, i wish i knew how decent you'd have to be to send over a $100000000000.00 in the us taxpayer money over to fight these very complex that you just mentioned. that the same time that here in new york city right outside of my front door there, people literally say. 2 going to american citizens sleeping outside on the street. you're getting no help whatsoever from their government, presumably that they've paid taxes in to for many years before they hit the skids

and fell on some bad luck. now me the mean the joe biden is a decent person. no, he persists, but it is not. there's not much there there. i always think about. 1 yeah, this is a guy who repeatedly lied about how his own wife died. right. like you, he kept claiming that he was killed by a drunk driver. the guy wasn't drunk at all, it was just a lie and he knew and he kept telling the story, not these, the whole thing makes me angry. i was invited once, as you know, i was a, i was, i worked at cnn and i work at nbc and i work in fox and all these places. and i was part of that culture i bought into that culture. but i remember i was invited to go to the correspondence dinner once and i refused. i always felt that if you're a journalist, you shouldn't go get drunk with the people that you are supposed to have. a rival risk relationship with my job is to check you to ask you hard questions, not to be your body and to see all these people there together,

all friendly and telling jokes and patting each other on the backs. the whole thing is wrong. it's not just wrong now, it was ridiculously wrong this year. this is the worst i've ever seen. but it's been wrong for a long time, angie. oh yeah, but they have to put up this slay this whole hollywood production. they have to keep it going. is part of the script you gotta understand, this is the club as you know, and i'm thank you very much, rick, for not being part of that establishment class for doing eye. witness reporting, an old fashioned journalism. not to call you old. i do the same. we are here to be completely unbiased. i know that's not necessarily job security these days in the news room. you know, spacing of that. i'm glad you just took us to where we want to go. because this is, this is the other part of the correspondence dinner that once again made me want to throw up in my mouth when it was present. it biden's turn to speak. this, this guy, our president, our, our president praised the journalists in the room. most of which make hundreds of

thousands of dollars of not tens of millions of dollars in some cases. right? um, reading a teleprompter in some air conditioned office building. but this is how he describes the pressure and the danger for others is my definition of features and then harris. the show is what all you do when you report truth over lives. that's what i want to close the night with my genuine, thanks for the free press. there are some who call you the enemy of the people as wrong as dangers. you literally risk your lives. doing your job the free press. you risk your lives. most of the people in that room,

i've never covered a story. most of the people are not in that room have big offices in new york city or other big places are big cities in the united states. most of those people ring teleprompters for a living and when they don't get out, trust me, i've been there. i was sent to the some of these places with the likes of anderson cooper. they travel with a makeup team. they find them a hotel room. they have an on drudge of people taking care of every one of their needs. they fly in special dinners for them, whose ard correspondence in the old fashioned way that we used to see covering wars in vietnam and korea, etc. that was such a bunch of bull khaki from the president telling these people how brave and how courageous they all are and that they are the so called free press at. pardon me, i was supposed to ask a question here. i didn't ted to you. rick. look a,

i've seen a few shots fired in anger when i cover the war in 2001, and that's gonna stay on the 1999 cardinal conflict. 1 i've been to get us in a few times and you're absolutely right. read what you're saying. you're a 100 percent, right? the independent journalist who travel hard, many of them, for example, right now l to 0 reporters your in gaza for your dad or dad or dad, they've been killed. yeah, that's really party. you know, i've, i've seen major network guy's literally like you said have like, got your pallets of beer shipped to them at their special place. that's about supposedly i ignore them. i mean, it's a joke. yeah. yeah. and did you want to add something to that? it, yeah, i mean, of course, real journalists run to the epicenter of conflict and we cover it. i don't know if anyone in that room has done that. joe, why didn't on that night could not even like spoon himself. like let us inches now

. so what he's talking about himself is reading a teleprompter that evening. i don't think those are actually his words coming out . yeah, well, that's on file. obviously true with almost everything joe biden does, but to be respectful, he's not, you know, a young man. so, and to, to also be fair what, what, what yes, i agree. it was a little worse this year than it has been in previous years because they're protecting them so much and they don't want anything to get in the way of his being re elected. i guess, but this thing that they do with this correspondence dinner was a joke during trump, a joke during obama. a joke during bush, a joke during every single president, because that consortium of body body between the press and the media and the politicians long ago there to get drunk together. that's wrong and that's not democracy. despite what this dude from saturday night live may be saying, ok, sorry, what are we going to next? when we come back? have you guys seeing what's going on all over the country? it's crazy now,

it's $200.00 universities. emory university in atlanta and northeastern university . now it's out of boston, you see a la all it's, it's, it's, it's not a what's going on in these places. and we're going to show you more video. we're going to show you what's going on with these disturbances and people who apparently don't like mr. biden's prophecies, we'll take you through that today right there. the the, the, or the

the when i 1st moved to russia, one of the most amazing things i found was to moscow metro. in fact, the very 1st phrase that i ever learned and nothing was careful. doors are closing so what makes this place? so suppression what secrets is of hiding to find out the fund to the city with

alexander pop off to the store and who studies the wonders of moscow metro the quarterbacks. this is direct impact on average. sanchez, i'm gonna show you some incredible video of joe mentioned getting screened that by voters in a little bit. but before we go to that, i want to try something else this weekend. it's this thing is continuing to grow. it's not stopping tens of thousands of university students all over the country, most of home who don't think joe biden is all that decent, and who oppose the president's very pro war policies took to the streets. there were new demonstrations every university in atlanta who knew northeastern university just outside of boston. that's a new place where this weekend, more demonstration, suddenly broke out. university of california in los angeles would mass arrest fights, violent classes with police. this in this thing is not stopping. here's

a sampling the, the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, this is really amazing that the, you know, i'm old enough to remember. uh, the late 19 sixty's. i was a young man of course, but and uh, i remember the movement back then that was very anti establishment. and me, it seems to be, you know, an act of defiance holding the middle finger to your government and saying what, what you guys are doing is crazy. and it doesn't represent us and stop with these

wars and stop killing people and stop sending our money overseas. i mean, obviously, in this case, they're focusing on gaza. but there really is a sense of rebellion that i'm seeing among young people in the united states. like i haven't seen it in g. busy long time. yeah. what's wonderful about those video clips is the police doing their job again. it's night to see the police being police again. you know, as a parent i will tell you i did not send my kid to a $70000.00 a year. tuition for tuition to be a little mini protester. i get it. you want to do that? that's fine. but honestly, i want to go to your graduation next week. i want you to finish up your final this week. that's what i paid for this. this is not good, i don't like that. i just pay tuition for my kids to be an agent for george soros or whoever is funding this. so you think that the young people in america who are protesting the wars are all just

a bunch of communism. martz's and they should be stop that is that, is that what you're saying? i'm trying to understand. i said, oh, sure, i spent a lot of time at columbia and, and why you in the past week i've been sitting there and been watching the protesters when talking to them. they're looking for something fun to do as a weather in new york warms up. it's come, you know, people are hanging out there, hooking up their drinking beers. they're having a good time. that's all funding. well, but here's the thing. they don't necessarily know what they're protesting. and there's plenty of reporting being done by lot of these protesters, they heard about something called october 7th. so that's as far as it goes, they don't actually know what they're protesting. they're just doing it because it's fashionable. when do you think that they know that there are at least 30000 people who've been massacred in gaza and some 15000 of them are children who really had no political position and that israel has lied at every turn about everything they have done, including killing aid workers in cold blood, do you think maybe they might have an argument when it comes to that?

i say that they have heard things and that they've been talking to their friends about it, but ultimately i don't know if they go beyond that. i don't think it goes deeper, the not, i don't think they understand the history of what's been going on and cause a, i get that these are the images that they're seeing every single day in the news and amongst friends. but ultimately, i just don't get the sense that they really are in deep with those that they really understand what's going on. so it sounds like you're telling me that you think whatever zeros doing is, is right. you're, you're, you're on the side of israel on this and you think the palestinians are all terrace . now i have, i'm not a fighter on this one. i'm just reporting the news on this one along which had ro, we've talked about this every day on our show, the final countdown. i will tell you that i don't have a position on this and ted knows that i do see i do have a bleeding heart for those who have died in gaza. i think it was terrible. what has happened? i think it's been a massacre and i think they've completely done demolished most of gaza to the point

where the policy ends cannot return. that i get all that i get the politics of it. but these kids are being used as pod for someone's political agenda. i don't love it because these are young kids. they should be doing the files right now and they should be walking down the aisle for graduation next week. but a lot of them have been canceled about a dead. these are just a bunch of us as engineers, a bunch of bunch of spoiled brats who shouldn't go home and uh, their cause is really not justified. you agree with us a hell no. all right. says anything well knows, look like energy. i spend some time up at columbia, i have a, a loved die card. so i can, i'm allowed to go on campus. i talked to the protesters, people i talked to, we're very sophisticated and knowledgeable. um, they had a, they understood the history of sutler colonialism in a former british mandate, palestine they understood the history of the 1967 in the 1973 wars. there should

have got a king too under the control of him, off which contrary to right wing talking point was added election. the sole power in a to it comes to about the there's like they, i found their knowledge to be extremely sophisticated. they look for the record, if even if they turned out to be a bunch of, uh, you know, ignoramuses but they're just fighting because they're because they thought that, you know, it's bad to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians. that would be fine with me because killing tens of thousands really sincere millions is always wrong. but that's a. 1 that's not the situation with these young people. these are very i, these are smart welling for very impressive young men and women who are attending in the case of columbia, one of the best colleges and united states. well, okay, moving on to another topic. if there is a spirit of rebellion right now in this country,

it's not just targeting the corruption of announcements and universities. it's also targeting politicians. as we have said many times on this program, the vast majority of us politicians, especially those in congress, are on the take. they are paid off legally by the way, by corporations to do their bidding. and right there at the top of the list as a guy named joe mansion, known for taking 1000000 from corporations to then oppose rights for workers climate active as democratic reform is. in this video you will see some voters confronting him. and this is not pretty for the senate or watch to miss so so the rates do you see the . busy the port type line,

which is the 1st to get back on the what, what do you have, what do you think of this one and you do think it's ok to confront a us politician who obviously takes a lot of money from donors, corporations. and i don't think mansion is that different from any of the rest, but he is at the top of the list uh are the is it okay to do that? yeah, it's always okay to do that because these guys go to office, you know, making a $100000.00 a year and they walk out, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars, you know, rich, sure. and it just doesn't make any sense. so of course it's ok to target a public figure like joe mentioned, look, he should explain how he makes his money. every one of them should, you know, they, i don't even know if they even do bills or run the country. they just pretty much

stay true. all day, if you make a $100200300000.00 a year, but you're but but yet you're worth a $30000000.00. 40000000. and they said, what is the drive? see? he drives yeah. and mccardle. what does it, what, what, what did they say he drives to mazda rod these are, it's ridiculous, but yeah, and it is what it is, and we're out of time, but we'll get you back. this is a great discussion. i'm so glad that we had a chance to share this. i think these are hard stories that all of us should be talking about my things to, to my bags. to angie, you guys have been delightful gas. thank you. once again, before we go, i want to remind you of our mission simple, really just to try the side of the world. we've got to stop living and little boxes just don't live in boxes. truths are everywhere, it's what we focus on. i'm really. busy busy this is direct and

the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept. we're so shorter is it conflict with the 1st law, show your items as a patient. we should be very careful about our professional intelligence at the point, obviously is to create a trust rather than fit the various job with artificial intelligence. we have so many with demon of the robot must protect this phone. existence was on the video of alleged abuse by an officer today for sheriff's deputy in columbia, south carolina forcibly removed his student from

a classroom at spring valley high school. i saw him just talking to her and her and initially, you know, i didn't think is a problem because i knew that she was just, is quite a student in the class. someone looked at the police officer and says, here was law enforcement that is worse. clearly attacking, abusing power and then there are others besides, this is what's wrong with those poorly behave on discipline. black children, he was there enforcing a lot to meet the crime, to quote, disturb schools in any way. that means any disturbance that any kids causes and school is probably huge and forces never predict but necessary. a tops people were never gonna change them out. and so people will never change their minds about video. they think i was wrong,

and that's it. the physical body is which stems from the spiritual review of india who are raised within so that makes sense and even make sure that the goodness in india transfers into other hello and welcome i am i don't know if i'm kid the ever evolving landscape of the 21st century. the purpose now more than ever is on india. like yesterday is a music director being artist, actor, and one of the most successful play back thing does in india, and then i will come on, they go on the bungee and roll. wonderful. so no matter how much those are wonderful to have you, i'm a fan of us so on. we are in this to deal with. we are recording this interview.

you have good memories. we had enabled studio, it's like the each. yes, absolutely. when i came to one way to become a singer and 1991, this was one, please be me, is me, me dream store to go to song and, and try to remember i was entering, i was driving and i, when i entered the studio for your show and i was telling my, my, my people who loved me that me and my father. i remember in 1991 on the 92 we didn't have, we didn't even have a school through it at that point. so we used to come by bus will be head, and the security guard said, what do i didn't decide the this, this is the face of a study. and so they knew that these are struggling in either video to go home. do you want to meet me so from that that the, you know, the jenny over the coating such like winning songs. in fact one of my most beautiful songs was something that i sang for you. and the movie bucket there, we're back in the end, and i do feel like i need to. so it when like what,
