West time and time again with a good idea for to use a talked about food security, about the need to feed the poorest. It was said by the countries of the European Union, nato and western countries, which includes poland. Now they demand exactly the opposite. Products to be slowed down. Not allowed blocked and the ukrainian ones are not allowed to come to them. But this is not even hypocrisy. This is a position in the medical aspect of the wood. This is a position pushing, it was cool. This what is happening to farmers and the countries of the European Union is provoked by the regimes in those countries. But they cannot admit this because otherwise they will need to admit not just the wrong this of the course. This is very important, but the maliciousness which of course, when it comes to washington, its really far away from the place of european farmers. So perhaps it, they dont really care about this. But when it comes to the e. U, again, they should have seen this coming all along. So this is where the question arises. What were they thinking on . Well, for their plans on either the thought that this would be over very soon so far, were there farmers, would it be affected or they felt, well that will be effective, but somehow theyll manage, which is just ludicrous. But thats the best time. Hard to those companies where you can get more details of all the stories well cover and ill see you again in about 30 minutes the everybody. Im rick sanchez. And im here to tell you that after being a journalist and it is presented for, for the biggest Television Networks in the United States, its time for some context and for some truth that like an in that vein. Heres where were going to be talking about today. Number one, why is the Supreme Court saying donald, trump must be on all the ballots in the United States . Number 2, why didnt do it . Why did this kid who lead classified us more documents have just got 16 years in prison . Why didnt do it . And number 3, president of the United States now says hes a big fan of people who criticized the government. Who was he talking about . Are you ready . This is direct impact. The finally, its in the decision as to whether donald trump can be excluded pushed out from the ballots. In some states is in weve learned that it was a 9 to nothing decision ruling that donald trump can be on. The ballad in colorado and other states, even justices during the oral argument, seemed very skeptical of the idea that one state could decide for the nation whether donald trump was an insurrection us, and was therefore disqualified under this 150 year old provision. So so, so let me take you through it a little bit. So what the court is saying essentially, is that if the president is to be excluded from for past actions, from an election, no matter how bad those action may be or may not be, it should not be up to the states. Youre saying it should be up to congress to make a National Decision like that, you know what . Probably right. Because imagine what would happen if democratic states or republican states in the future for that matter, got a chance to eliminate the other parties candidate that my friends would be a mess. Lets talk about something else. Now i want to talk about young jack dick sherif, in massachusetts, air National Guardsmen jet tech zera, pleading guilty in Boston Federal Court today. The terms of his plea deal include 16 years in prison, prosecutor say the air man uses top secret security clearance to access highly classified intelligence about the war and ukraine and other conflicts that he shared in the chat group on the social media site. Discord, hey, this score, whats discord . Its a place where gamers hang out. Most of them are kids. Liked to share, i mean to see his picture. And what he did was reckless and it was stupid. It was not an active journalism. What he did, nor did he do it because he was pro peace. He did it because of his ego. He wanted to show off. Any of the court is cutting him a break. Are you thinking what im thinking . As im saying these words, shouldnt the government give a break to those who act on personal ethics and not ego . I say that by the way, because im a journalist and i believe if you share a valuable truth that should be taken into account. And then again, most people who do the news today dont agree with me here in the United States. But then again, most of them are not journalists seriously. In fact, many of them are former government shells to report only what the state Department Tells them to report. Look, im not against the state department. Okay. Its necessary. I just think a journalist is supposed to challenge those guys. Not surely for them. Take the iraq war, for example, our government was chaired into that situation, right. We chaired for them to go ahead and do the war. And what did we get out of it . Right . The creation of isis less, not more democracy and more terrorism. And to this day, those truths are not told on television here in america, in our country. In fact, the idiots who plan that more are invited on the new shows you can you see them all the time to this day . They are invited and treated like their heroes. Really, a showing for the government is easy. Take scotts to tell the truth. Take the case of julia massage. He told the truth about some horrible things that our government did lied about in iraq and, and in afghanistan. And for that, hes been chased, tortured and are in prison for the better part of the last 12 years of his life. Lets hear now from our president , the president of the United States. Heres job, id be bravely stood up to the corruption, the violence, and the all the, all the bad things of yeah, so you did your right, mr. President. Exactly. That julia saw and reported truthfully on many bad things, and for that he had them arrested and prosecuted for fabricated crimes. He says in the prison, you tell them nice solutions. Yep. All true. His life has been made a living hell. And yet assange assigned she never gave in even in prison, she was a powerful voice for the truth. All right, ive got to apologize for you and, and theres a reason im apologizing right now. You see i was playing with you a little bit. There was a game i was playing with you to make this point in that speech. Mr. Biden is not referring to julian assault because the people who wrote that speech for him dont like a song. But you know, they do like they really like this guy name, alexi, know of all me a match or present a button was praise. Why . Because he criticized not the us government. Rather, the russian government, before dying in the prison after being sentenced for extremism for criticizing, vladimir, put by the way i could spend his right to criticize bottom or put to add that. And he did have his share of supporters in russia to be fair. That support was tiny, tiny, compared to the support he gets in western countries. So he was a student of all, and he right. He was in the, in a politician with motives tactics and an ideology which most of us here in the west. Ive never really bothered to understand our government. A news media have a simple take on the volume. It goes Something Like this. She does it like put, and therefore he must be great. Its that simple. The same western leaders want it of all need to be heard because they believed he was a truth dollar fine. Thats there, right . But if thats the case, wouldnt you also want the song to be heard as well . And if not, the comparison screams hypocrisy. No, there are some good news here by the way. This is new. That hypocrisy is becoming evident to a british high court. They are deciding now whether the extra tide is on back to the United States, where he would be punished even more severely. Judges are asking some good common sense question. Heres julia. So im just brother talking about this, saying that he was in court and he sent as a little bit of a change with the judges. You know, making statements like, oh so if julian is extra daughter, does that mean any journalist in the u. K. A could be extradited and the prosecution essentially had to answer yes. So, um, you know, the judge is making these sorts of points. I found quite interesting and in, in a different vibe. Here is a good question. Why did it take 12 years to ask it . But why the continual attacks on us on still do we only support the Truth Tellers if they criticize russia, but if they criticize our government, then we spare. We disparage them like, well, like this. And i would argue that its closer to be in the high tech terrorist massages a narcissist who has created nothing of value. He relies on the dirty work of others to make himself famous. He has to answer for what he has it has done is this guy is a traitor, a treasonous, not for the death penalty. So if im not for the defense, only want to do it illegally. Shoot the son of a shoot. The son of a cheap shoot. The son of a mean thats our government and those who take orders from them in the media respond to a journalist who was arrested for publishing truth, lets say once again what they say about no, only this time this was put together by editors, colleagues at R T International to tell me what you think after watching this. Now theyre talking about the bombing alexi and the volume. The has been a brave leader who stood up against corruption and talk or seeing he died for coast, which he dedicated his whole life. Freedom. The world has lost a Freedom Fighter in alex a. Nobody was a reminder of extraordinary brutality and his government quite a different so i want to close with the quote. I think it fits this case where we embrace only those things that are part of our team, even if theyre wrong and we hate whatever is offered by the other team, even if theyre right. The quote comes from a fellow cuban, interestingly enough, her name is a nice name. She moved to france from havana in the early 19 hundreds and there she became a famous novelist. And here is her quote, she says, or writes, we dont see things as they are. We see things as we are cash. See now, thats all right. Issue right . We only see things from our own painted perspectives, most of the time. And what does it say about our government . That is what im going to be asking our guest after we take this break, we will be joined by legal and media analyst line. Oh, dont go what the take a fresh look around. Theres a life kaleidoscopic, isnt just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. Fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen for you, fractured images, present it is. But can you see through their illusion going underground . Can the on the all right, here we go. I want to welcome you back from wherever it is in the world that youre watching us right now. Were joined by the line old. Hes a legal and a media analyst, and i figure this is like throwing red meat as a guy like line. Well this, this, this type of just story filled with so many twists, sterns and true iron and hypocrisy. I want to read you that quote, that, that, that, that was written by a cuban author, interestingly enough to live most of our lives in france died, i think of 1977 and a nice and in rides. We dont see things as they are. We see things as we are. Is it really what this comes down to . Is it a universal problem, or is there something about us lately as a government that makes us more guilty of that than others . Well, rick, a couple of things here. Lets go back to some rudiments. Um the, the, the only thing i know as a, as a lawyer and somebody who follows by the way this, this is my religion. This is my bible, this is the constitution. Huh. And thats all i know. And i let other people decide whether involved it was a here real where the result just to hear of i dont really care for purposes of this, but i will tell you this in the year 2001, the Supreme Court dealt with an issue. And a case called parts nicky against the viper to and it came to deal with a, with a talk show host, a Radio Station who became a, who became in possession of a conversation that was illegally paved. Gather it was a wire tap violation. Somebody took it from the labor, it doesnt really matter. So you have somebody who is a media person who comes into contact with something that was stolen, but its news werent sound familiar. Okay. So he published a broadcast. The question was, is he absolved from any kind of liability . Is there a 1st amendment right . First amendment . Thats why they call it 1st the 1st member, right . That he enjoyed by publishing something which would be illegal if he did it. Mm hm. But wasnt there somebody else in the Supreme Court said, absolutely. He is protected by the 1st time in daniel ellsberg. What is that all about . That sound papers . Yeah, daniel ellsberg, im convinced, violated all kinds of was when you want a new copy from the Rand Corporation that rick, youre talking about something which is very important. And its, its funny. The notion of a reporter, what were seeing today is we have media proxy is they, are we peters, not reporters. Theyre actually, theyre, theyre, theyre out board representatives of the government. Yeah. The that because this is my turn now, and this is what ive spent my life doing. The vast majority of them do not have journalism degrees, the vast majority of them and i can name them, but i want to embarrass them. Have never covered a story. Ive never actually been a reporter on the street. So this is like, uh, going to a hospital and a doctor, watch into your office and you say, do you have a medical degree . And he says no, but, you know, i think i could probably do this. Thats whats going on with journalism today. They hire people because theyre pretty or because theyre whatever connected or because theyre willing to take a lot of money to tell things that are true. Well, obviously people are higher because theyre pretty and i and thats about me. But heres the story. Know, rick, the thing is, is that i, i dont differ with you, but i want to qualify something. Roger ailes one time with ask the question, should journalist be license . And he said you only need a license to come here. Now, there are people who, by the way, rick, who, one day may be outside and there is a fire and they have a phone and they pick their phone up and they take a picture of it and they publish it. And i think theyre a journalist. I think the report and i think they are as valid as, as anybody else for that matter. As walter cronkite, they may not be as skilled. So in todays new platform, citizen, civilian alternative, journalist, people who have opinions and i think are under the protection of this. However, when youre up at the upper echelons the leaves of c, none and others i, i listen very carefully to what youre saying because theres one thing to be a bureau chief, but its not seem to work. Oh, but wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, im going to take, im going. Im going to push back on you on that. Im not saying theres anything wrong with being someone who doesnt have a journalism degree. For example, if youve practiced your craft and excel that it, there are great journalists who dont have a home on these channels because they cant, they wont hire them because theyre Truth Tellers. So yes, there are places where people on the alternative news locations these days can be skilled, can have a following, and should have a following. But they still have to be able to practice their craft in such a way so that theyre doing it correctly. I dont want the guy who shows up at your back back yard barbecue has too much to drink and discharge of painting all kinds of crazy stuff to say, oh yeah, thats the guy i want to listen to every day on the radio. Now thats holding, im going to push back. Now im going to push back again on that. I would the individuals decide whether that i, i may tend to agree with you. But i dont want to see or suggest who is valid and who is not the most stick with the constitution. In this particular case, let me give an example of something i love this. I love rick the way well, you know, of, for the a not for me. Joining us. Joining assigned is for all practical purposes. Hes like the jose padeo, who is the individual who was arrested in chicago, an american citizen who was, who was the 1st enemy combatant that were just forgotten and basically went mad, you know, present now we had a fellow named gonzalez, era. You may not agree with this, but i believe gonzalo lira, who was a journalist. Yeah, he did a youtube general that was in. He was in your brain. Yes. I basically from what i want from what we understood and he was killed me or died for like navarro lee a identical with somebody that many of us liked or whatever. He wasnt an agent. I dont think he was called, i lived with these a poor fall. So what was that story . The oh, your, your ways a great point. Well, i know you got one right. Where was that . I dont not even know i did the journalist where, where was that story . Where was the United States government standing behind one of its citizens. A journal is no, it was a us citizen. Well, what do you agree . And oh yeah, it was filing stories. But theres a lot of Good Government didnt like. And one day he mysteriously disappeared after being detained and then take him to a hospital. Wheres the and also speak with the state department, it is their number one. The, the only reason they are in power is not to do negotiation with. The president basically is to act as a liaison for us citizens abroad. And the right. Let me also give you something which is important, which is also critical. You know, this idea of, of how some people are allowed. Some people are ok and some people arent. Thats the thing i find so interesting. Nobody cares about that. Let me throw another one at you just with just the way why pushing back on both. Im telling you right now and, and, and im telling you that most of the people at cnn feel like they have to say things or promote a certain message because they work and cnn. And many of those may or may not be journalist. There are also people in the alternative News Community who are very good and i respect them and they dont work for one of those places. But i think there shouldnt be a general agreement as to who in society is a b s artist. And who actually has Something Interesting to say we oh wow, it has a glass diety to come to those conclusions. We dont have him arrested, but im allowed to have my opinion. Well, put it this way. If we could have a graphic b. S artist, i would be honored if you could put a lower 3rd for me and have it in the file. Let me give you another one to rick. This is something which i still find amazing. On january the 6, there were a number of americans, a lot of them are red tag wearing can be used one guy with an eye patch. One guy with the uh, you know, the carry helmet, whatever it was. Who, who, who were a lead youd to have been able to over throw the government, the 2nd airborne in the 1st marine division, this guy with a pot belly and a guy just and flag. All right. Some of these people read serve more time in prison, then child molesters. Now if you think thats fair, thats okay. That to me was absolutely a violation of the 1st amendment to to, to meet now some were guilty of trespass and a variety of things. And thats another story. Yeah, yeah, thats what were talking about here. Lets bring it back to where we started the conversation. There is a extreme double standard when it comes to our government and its outside of politics. This is not democrats versus republicans. This is not biden versus trump, this is really about the underpinnings of what i think is happening in our government today. Where the power of the state, the state department, those forces that make mores more of them lately than ive ever seen before. Busy in my life time seemed to have of a certain control over the messaging that we received a match, rory . Oh, listen, listen, there was a time i, i dont when i was in talk radio and i was a w, a, b, c. In a word with vice, remember there was a time when bill clinton was on air force one. He says, do we think we want to bring the fair in his doctor back . He says it can, can we get a, a democratic talk shows was favor to say it was different than let me throw one more at the because i see this is a big i love the way they say one guy is a political prisoner. Other guy is, i mean theyre identical. There was a case recently of this aaron bush now this the airman who cool, so immolated in front of these really i dont know a very well embarrassing. Yeah. Okay. Now what did they say on ship on on nbc . Hes a not an angry and mitchell as they ended her spotwood. And if you know somebody who is suffering from suicidal, ideations called or something. Okay, i didnt, i really good. You straight really did the yeah. Wow. And 19601963. Remember the monkey . I know very well. Yes. The best picture picture of, of the what we said. What a spirit, what a bobby sent and the hunger strikers i with this is incredible. But this guy, because hes taking the wrong side, is not you see one mans terrorist, the other man freedom side, but we do the and we do that especially, and im not the, im not here to promote, you know, russian politics or no ball in the or putting or anybody else for that matter, thats not my job. Im a journalist, but it does seem like we take certain countries that we decide we need to be in tag a mistake with. And were going to put our i are, and its a rod and its watch on. Its china, its been as well. And, and, and im not here to defend any one of those or put them down, but dont all know, but its, as we remember, and in particular you are, i, im a native for really and 2nd generation. And i remember cube, i mean im not human, but all my friends, everybody i mean and from, from tampa. And i remember, i mean, theres just at the height of the cold war. I live where were sun. Com is mcgill air force base duck and cover. And i remember of, of boris and Natasha Russo fully a core martians throughout history i really from, i will destroy you to cruise japanese these doors crazy, evolve, evolve, and buyer. I swear to you. So if put it this way, if we redid colombo with the in, in our age, the 1st thing would be putting that in the back on you there as well, because we came to a time is then when phil donahue interviewed president of on his show where ted koppel wouldnt literally invite a russian correspondence or reporter on his show when we shared ballet. When we shared projects up in space, there was a time when, even with the soviet union, there was an a bridging that took place. Now isnt, its just the opposite. It was, i would argue almost, it was better than in terms of understanding of part of the thing to have relations. And by the way youve, youve said at least 5 times, youre pushing back and youre not at all. I agree with you. Okay, another one, tucker and carly tucker, carlson. Just interviewed pony. Ok. There was, there was a say in a while back to school back in time. Mike wallace was sitting on the floor when i had told a whole menus. If theres a birthday, please, i think theres a wrong way for people then youre crazy. Thats got to know how to do all the home any wouldnt be. But no, that was no problem. Barbara walters interviewed killed castro. They go down the list. Yes, larry changed. Interviewed chavez, you name it. But the thing is, is that look, its the castro i ever garbage of. I interviewed a bunch of people who are so but nor yeah, and im present no less. So throughout my career seems like i can do it back better. But do what im saying . I have to get it right today. No, i dont get you push the push that i like it will send you an honorary coupon. Oh, hows that . Im going to give you that title and you can wear it with pride. Thats line ladies and gentlemen backslide. Oh, were out of time. But the extra being our friend today is youre gonna great comments. Great conversation before i go, i want to remind you of our mission. I mentioned just a little while ago where i do believe its really important that we be silo, the world gotta stop living in these little boxes as we saw in this newscast to so live in boxes. Im rick sanchez. This is direct impact. The was a major issue, you will probably be doing it by giving me the attendance for the school insurance, little up. I need to push it the code and because of the issue simply with blue cross, you will get to the subject has asked. Okay, so should the cases i chose, Customer Care them. Let me choose the name, show you guys to put them on the, on your, on your cell and the pleasure of meeting you. Hello for you.

And then you ask my key at the United Nation then, you know, when continues and just as long as that video for that or can you but the just sort of you meet with the southern using the of the cereal and youll just know of you. They would know decisions of the un security council, the United States released this genie from the bottle itself. And when russia begin to protect its people in dont back, y is the same, not allowed for other countries, right. Theyre not putting coals out washington for its hypocritical, doubled standard Foreign Policy during the Closing Press conference at the well youth festival. Had all the International Lot to me about Atomic Energy agency speech to r t instead b now has a un mandate investigative attacks on the photos on the a pod plans happen again. His statement comes out that his meeting with government put
