Numbers are going to increase the cause its being blamed on a ship carrying fireworks that exploded while docked at the port there but theres a conflicting report now france 24. 00 had originally reported d about a missile attack were going to have Team Coverage on this story with reports for both israel and from beirut on this massive blast and as we get any other information obviously were going to share it with you right away thats going to be a big part of our coverage here but we here on this newscast have reported on and also kept you apprised of all the unprecedented moves by the u. S. Federal reserve during the economic crisis that was caused by the coded pandemic frankly even before that so we reported on how the fed was mysteriously lowering Interest Rates while we the American People were being told that the economy was strong. Wrong and there was no need for any artificial stimulation stimulation occurred anyway we reported when the fed began pouring tens of billions of dollars into the u. S. Banks on a daily basis under something called repos again it happened when the economy was strong and there was no apparent need for an artificial infusion the infusions happened anyway. That was before the pandemic now i want to give you a new number are you ready. 3. 00 trillion dollars you see since the economic collapse there has been pretty much katie by the door had Interest Rates went to 0 and by the end of this year its projected that the fed will have created 3. 00 trillion dollars in government securities that is new money printed as many often say completely out of thin air with nothing to really back it up but wait theres more. Now were learning that the fed is printing money not just at the behest of the American Economy but now also at the behest of economies all over the world this is new the fed has always resisted becoming the worlds lender but now it appears that to exactly what it is doing they say its a response to the covert 19 pandemic and the loans are only being made in the form of swap lines to countries that were friendly with for example countries like russia iran china but as well cuba they get nothing south korea mexico singapore brazil theyre getting funds. Why is this happening well did anybody by the way check with you as a u. S. Citizen its your money really that theyre printing or creating or whatever its called did Congress Even know that this is happening does the president know did he approve of this and whats the real reason for it. Were going to drill down on this right here on the news with rick sanchez where we believe this is the type of story you need to know about because its time to do news again. Heres the list of the question going to our were going to stop what were doing right now because apparently were going to go to paula slayer who is standing by to give us more information about the report of this blast thats taking place in beirut paula fill us in. Well the latest information we have is 10 people confirmed dead hundreds injured and we have receiving reports of people trapped beneath buildings with Emergency Services struggling to get those casualty figures on likely to climb in the coming hour as the president has been informed of the situation and national. Day of morning has been called for tomorrow eyewitnesses say that there was a massive blast at about 6 oclock local time that buildings in the vicinity shook that there was a ridge Mushroom Cloud over the area and a whole lot of fire is now an investigation is underway its still unclear what actually caused the explosion we are hearing that it could have been an electrical spock the lebanese customs director saying that it was caused by nitrates that were in the warehouse with highly explosive materials both israel and hezbollah have denied involvement of course there was speculation earlier that israel could have been behind it or his beloved both of them are denying involvement now at the same time hospitals in the vicinity have started turning people away because they are full to capacity we know that one of the hospitals was injured in the blast so as i say the Health Minister saying a very high number of casualties is expected extensive damage still unclear as to what caused the blast but indeed a massive blast that comes just days ahead and im not making a link but there is some speculation it could be linked to the u. N. Trying to you know. Result in the trial of 4 suspects linked to the assessing nation of the formulae binnys Prime Minister rafik hariri back in 2005 going to be a lot of speculation obviously paula thats regulation is going to solve israel is there any reaction at this point from israel. Is the has been denial that israel was involved we did initially hear that there were 2 blasts and that is or was responsible for the 2nd blast but we as soon as we were hearing that kind of statement we got denial from the israeli side the situation has been tense in recent days particularly between israel and hizbollah and israel the israeli lebanese border so that is why finger started pointing in that direction this comes at a very. Bad time for lebannon be governments is struggling just yesterday you had the foreign minister resigned you have a lot of political pundit a lot of politicians that are facing corruption charges the government is struggling to deal with an economic crisis and then on top of that you have the whole covered 19 pandemic so this is really the last thing that lebanon needs but the biggest block still possibly bloss that the country has seen in recent years yet weve been hearing reports and seeing reports now out of favor of. Most people theyre saying theyve never quite seen anything like this as a matter of fact i think we have an opportunity now to take you to beirut were joined by phone by. Colleague shes the host of in the aisle who is going to be standing by for us do we have. Barely weve weve lost you know. So. Lets do this lets take a break and were going to come back in just a little bit. No no. No shots. Actually. No. Points your thirst for action. Im chris hedges the corporate coup detat has destroyed our Democratic Institutions the commercial media has been less part of the reality show presence expose the tribune locked on contact question more. Ive seen the horrors that arise with money in. Corporate criminals who calculus lives to add just one more dollar to their billions.

Understand youre tired of networks. d you know me d famous for my views. Yours truly ready. Im holland cook i invite you to climb with me of the Mainstream Media and from that higher fan to each to glimpse the big picture question more. We apologize for the disjointed nature so far of the newscast but thats because weve got breaking news coming in just as were reporting on several subjects all d the same time bear with us but we do want to get back to the story we stored we told you about at the beginning of the newscast which is about the fed just how much money can the fed print 1st it was as i took you through this a little while ago the mystery drop in Interest Rates then to tell tens of billions of dollars a day on repo money to banks then came the economic National Collapse crisis now the world the world is the feds recipient of created money so the question is where is this leading joining us now to discuss this is daniel my catalyst to end it was the exact fed mr mcadams so weve had these conversations before it seems almost remarkable that weve come to this now 1st it was i think you heard the figure i gave 3. 00 trillion dollars that after lowering Interest Rates and now essentially the bank to the world the fed is our banker fed what do you make of this. Well you capture very well in the introduction rick the. Of the like unfortunate like many patients to succumb to multiple comorbidities the u. S. Economy before coronavirus hit also had several comorbidities that it was suffering from endless bubbles we saw it in a way that bubbles coming to fruition again and we saw at the end of last year as you pointed out the carry trade with other banks so the economy was already very very ill cope with the virus hit and like a lot of patients its really threatening to kill the economy entirely the fred the fed has a magic button over which is printing money out of thin air and thus far as you point out its done to the tune of about 3000000 here domestically and how many billions hundreds of billions overseas that its lending its ironically its actually seeing the death knell of the u. S. Economy as some sort of an energy drink for the fed to enable it to expand all over the entire universe it really doesnt make any sense whatsoever now its funny you did something i do all the time you said 3000000 i know you meant 3 trillion trillion yes yes no i get it and i think most trillion trillion its you know we get to the place where the numbers dont even matter anymore but we do look im not an expert on this im not an economist but i do wonder how much is too much where does it end 3. 5 trillion here another trillion there now to all these countries all d over the planet where does it end then you. What were ns is d. Dollarization and you know the so called experts refuse to entertain the possibility of dollarization where the evidence is all around im not an expert either record but it doesnt take a weatherman to see which way the wind blows you know the we see russia and china in june they signed a deal that they would do joint trade not in dollars but in their mutual currencies we saw i think a 40 percent decline from march until may in the use of us dollars for trade overseas the world is divided dollar rising just as the fed is sort of a bolivias the wandering around throwing money around this is happening its because the fed is not the lender of last resort the fed especially with corona here has become the lender full stop and then its extraordinarily dangerous and im glad you you pointed out you frame it in terms of the American People because were going to be left holding the bag when this whole thing goes down in flames now lets try to understand this so weve decided or somebody has decided for us that we are going to print money our money belongs to you me and everybody else was watching this newscast as a citizen of the United States and were going to give it to other countries hoping that money can help them recover i guess im wondering to what and how does that help me as an american does it. I think is hoping to keep the fed relevant and to keep the elites relevant and you point out perfectly the politicization of the feds activity overseas of course there are no loans not only to iran and to and to venezuela but even even countries like turkey for whatever faults it may have its a nato ally the fed is a highly politicized that uses its ability to lend money overseas like the state department used to use its ability to give foreign aid overseas but where the state department throws a few 1000 a few 1000000 overseas as you point out the fed can add a t. To it and give trillions overseas and that gives its extraordinary. Foreign policy power and thats what its wielding right now it seems troubling so let me ask you the next question the obvious one that i think a lot of people are watching us talk right now are thinking at home did did i get my say on this did congress approve this did the president approve this did the Senate Approve this or do these guys make these decisions at the fed nilly willy because they can. Well do we give our consent to anything thats been happening over the past few months you know the from the from the from the mayors to the governors the petty tyrants have all come up and rule by decree and arfon are Global Financial elites the Federal Reserve being the key among them as also risen out of nowhere to control and command you know where were at sort of the de democratisation age where our voices literally dont mean anything it doesnt matter who you elect the elites remain in power theyll do as they see fit with your lives with your safety with your health and with your dollars that theyll take at will and what they do which is most cruel rick as you know very well is the inflation thats coming is the cruelest tax 6 because it hits working class americans the most it hits them the hardest it hits them were having a wave of even actions in the u. S. Now the dollar you send a few trillion out to americans they get a 1000. 00 they think that things are going well theyre going to be paying 30 or 40000. 00 for that 1000 they get in inflation another in other ways so it really is a disaster nobody asked us things are coming to a head its a fascinating story i mean it really is in the end what the fed does which by the way they may have a perfectly good explanation for it and it may be something that works for what bear interests are but i got to tell you it seems like its not a part of Representative Democracy at least not by that most of us americans signed up for daniel mike out of as usual i thank you sir for taking us through this explanation were going to take a quick break and were going to be right. You cant be both with the yeah you know what. Im chris hedges the corporate coup detat has destroyed our Democratic Institutions the commercial media is burlesque part of the reality show president s expose the trivia lots see on contact question more. Seeing the horrors that arise the money in evil. Corporate criminals who trash calculus lives to add just one more dollar to their billions. They threaten they bribe theyll do anything to keep their crimes in the door but the people theyve heard are demanding justice their stories need to be told on americas lawyer. Finally. Understand youre tired of networks. d d famous for my views. Yours truly ready. Im holland cook i invite you to climb with me of the Mainstream Media and from that higher fan to each to glimpse the big picture question more. Theres new information today on the infamous steal dot ca it was named after british m i 6 officer Daniel Steele who was hired to compile the report as essentially dirty laundry then candid that donald trump the report has been roundly refuted it was even called garbage by Bob Woodward Bob Woodward as you probably know considered the foremost journalist in the United States in the movie all the president s man was based on his reporting. Woodward and bernstein weve always wanted to know exactly where steele got this information that was in his report that we now know about the New York Times among others are reporting that the person who gave steele the information and heres the big headline today is a guy named igor dunn cenk oh hes a ukrainian born russian educated researcher who worked in the United States and travel to moscow to affect supposedly dig up the dirt pacheco describes himself as a russia your range of political and economic analyst genco was a on the payroll of mr steeles. Best a geisha and firm in london he also worked at the Brookings Institute and he cowrote with fiona hill a 2010 brookings paper on Russias Energy ambitions here is r. T. Host and veteran journalist ben swan with more. Than chink oh that is name of the person who is really the primary source of the still dossier his washington based lawyer now admits that yes in fact he provided source data and analysis for that dossier already online sleuths had made the connection between then chain co in the still doubt so heres what we know about then he was on the payroll of christopher skills Investigative FirmOrbis Business Intelligence in london we also know that he worked for the Brookings Institution he cowrote a paper with fiona hill in 2010 titled one step forward 2 steps back the realities of a rising china and work ations for russias inner g. M. Bishan keep in mind fiona hill became a sinner piece of the impeachment hearings as she had been president Trumps NationalSecurity Council but the most important allegations regarding then janko come back to the f. B. I. Notes from his interviews those notes show that he relied on a group of like minded friends including some drinking buddies for those stunning allegations against President Trump and his associates which by the way we have to mention all of which eventually proved untrue there were no firsthand russian sources and yet the f. B. I. Used to still dossier to obtain faisel warrants and wire taps on members of the tribe Campaign Based upon information in the dossier the f. B. I. Told federal judges in its wiretap requests that the primary sub source was based in russia is now we know that benching coat was not we also know that in a follow up interview with dench and co in march of 2017 he added it he told the f. B. I. That his sub sources information was quote not worth a grain of salt in quote. And yet the f. B. I. Continued to press forward so why is this so important well simply put because the entire russia investigation from start to finish was based upon not multiple eyewitness accounts and source materials but one source material the still dossier compiled by Christopher Steele paid for by the d. N. C. And by the Clinton Campaign as well as some republicans in the primary against then candidate trump but as senator Lindsey Graham put it after reviewing those documents specific to what they in chain co have provided as his sub source material graham said this quote that the information provided was 2nd and 3rd hand information and rumors at best for the news with rick sanchez im been swan thanks a lot heres George Galloway hes a former british m. P. Steve gruber hosts the steve gruber show my thanks to both of you gentlemen george let me begin with you what do you make of this new report that this dude igor den checco is the source for the steel dossier produced or by one of your fellow citizens there in great britain. Well i forget who framed roger rabbit least we now know who to frame a dog will trump this goal of lies which was evident to many of us who know russia well from the beginning was pure invention turns out to be the adventure the framing was done by not russia nor even brit but by ukrainian working in the United States it is easy for our goal which adds up to i think one of the biggest talks in world politico history and those responsible for it should be ashamed but those who deployed to weaponize. And destroyed the whole basically of the 1st term of a u. S. President have to be more ashamed because they must have known those in the know in the f. B. I. Must have known that this stuff wasnt what the papers are often wasnt even written on and it has devastated the political system in the United States paid for by the clintons paid for by the democrats and paid for by some now departed in some cases recalcitrant republicans but what damage has it done to the presidency to the constitution of the United States to americas standing in the world but its actually incalculable beyond price range you know its interesting i think this is where the politics and. The melding with the politics of all those people in our country who are literally paid to write about and foment and steve gruber i want you to address this there are people in our government and they work within places like the cia in diplomacy they keep their jobs by fomenting this and china and tie russia and tie venezuela name your your your your enemy so to speak and these are the people who will gladly compile any report you want them to compile as long as it fits their needs russia bad china bad ukraine good whatever you want it to be right. Well as long as the check clears and stuff we get that the check cast a clear rick lets be honest about that im still stuck with roger rabbit but im sure its true that this is a cartoon now that were dealing with in many respects but its a sad part to it whats interesting rick and i thought about this several times and maybe you have as well that was always the russia russia russia conspiracy but really all roads keep going back to you craig they still go back to ukraine its not russia at least not ukraine and the Brookings Institution now which by the way Everybody Knows in washington is a very far left leading think tank its associate with the democrats the d. N. C. Hillary Clinton Barack obama at all and more importantly joe biden all roads lead back to the same place so didnt change joe who also worked there at the Brookings Institute as been pointed out of his report there all roads lead back to the same group of individuals who have common goals but it but as you talk about rick the real power in government isnt the president oftentimes its those in the structure around the president because the president. Is a tourist really make a comment see that they go thats my point and that the democrats are just going up research everybody does operate search the right guy steele was a guy who used to work for the i 5 and then he needed a job so he took a job making more money filling reports of stuff he used to know and put his name on it the other people he used are people who gladly would give him dirt on whatever they could make up or know about russia but its almost like people coming together putting this collage together none of which has any foundation thats what i guess the thing to do the truth is that all its all creative its all manufactured and youre spot on youre exactly right but whats weird is within their own little silos george to get me within their own silos theres truth if it becomes a giant cabal of lies when you put it all together its what it looks like to me. Yes these these people are chuff the big question is why did the f. B. I. Your phone this wild goose chase why did the justice department. To happen is the big question right these are Great Questions steve youre a good guest and so are you george i appreciate it unfortunately were out of time tonight all this breaking news going out throughout this newscast my thanks to both of you gentlemen we appreciate it thats our news im rick sanchez thanks so much for being with us more news here more time to get is. All across the board trump is down in the polls and not just by a pointer to traditionally incumbency alone is enough to win but this time around it is a race track and lets be clear this is little to do with joe. I know to no crow. No shots. Actually felt. No as to. Which your thirst for action. If. Youre tuned into R T International just after half past 9 here in moscow my names union oneil.
