A c or gab for the meantime. Thanks for joining the the the, the. Hi everybody. Im rick sanchez. This is direct impact, and this is what were going to be talking about in need to be able to stop these russian attacks that are coming from bases inside russia. So i think theres also a question of whether we the United States and our allies, or to give them more health in hitting russian bases, which here to, for weve not been willing to do very no bom rush. Uh, so says victoria, new. And if you think that suggestion to bomb russia, sounds crazy. Wait till you hear what else . Victoria newland had to say. Im going to play it for you. Im rick sanchez. Lets do it the. Alright, lets start with this very important conversation going on in the United States right now. In fact, it couldnt possibly be any more important. My gosh, think about this. Its about whether the people of the United States that involves me and maybe some of you are watching right now. Want to start a war with restaurant seriously, whether you want, do you want to start a war with russia . Do you really want to start a war with russia . I would say that that would be possibly the beginning of world war 3. But if youre thinking about that, you probably might be right or at least asking a good question to yourself. Heres, heres the deal, and heres why im asking the question in imposing all of this ukraine has recently been bombing and killing civilians in a russian border city that its, thats named belgrade. You probably dont know, but if you happen to live in United States, because the media here doesnt report that. But because of that, russia has tried to create or says its creating this safe zone inside of ukraine in a place called car cost. Some would call a park off the ukrainians, call it car key, whatever, to try and stop the bombing. So the russians are moving into that area to stop the bombing, because thats where the missiles are being used to fire and developed around the, the follow that. Okay, and theyre doing it by hitting that area right there near the russian border. Well, so the us secretary of state, pardon me, the u. S. Secretary of defense, i misspoke lloyd austin was asked recently. If you crane should now be allowed to use us weapons, the weapons made here in the United States to bomb russia. Right. In mind you, they already are bombing rush. I mean, theyre already doing it. But regardless, lets, lets pretend theyre not right. So when lloyd austin was asked this question, he said no, heres the headline, this is what you can read right about. Now i think this is a b c news, but everybody picked it up. As you can see, what general austin is saying is that theres an expectation by him that when he gives you crane weapons or when United States gives you crane weapons, they will be used inside them ukraine only. They would not be used to attack russia, which kind of makes sense, right . We dont want to be given somebody weapons and then theyre shooting them off and getting china or russia and right, so obviously not to the us media. The see the us media doesnt find this obvious which, which is even you could almost argue that there are members of the media and United States that are more, were hungry. Then the us general himself, the guy whos in charge of the defense department. Like like people and cnn and stuff like that they, they almost are more of yeah, hawks. Then people even at the state department are believe it or not it its, its obvious. Just watch the news so. So these folks, in this case i think it was a b, c. They sought out their favorite people to talk to after the secretary general, secretary of defense, pardon me. Said no, we dont want ukraine bombing russia. They made a phone call to victoria nolan, victoria nolan, who was an auto bash russia hating war hawk. And she suggested, yeah, we should encourage ukraine to bomb russia. She never mentioned that ukraine has already been bombing russia. She never talks about bell gerad. So heres new and being asked if you crane should bomb russia with us weapons, listen to what you said and do you think they should i think this, the attacks are coming directly from over the line in russia that those bases ought to be fair game, whether they are where missiles are being launched from, or where they are, where uh, troops are being supplied from. I think its time for that because russia has obviously escalated this war, including as you said at the beginning, attacking rush, the 2nd city har keys, which is not on the front lines and trying to designate it without ever having to put a boot on the ground so i think it is time to give the ukrainians more help hitting these spaces inside russia to listen to it to say, i feel like im doing the daily show here instead of a new show, because this is almost like funny how ridiculous it is. That she uses the fact that russian soldiers and Russian Troops come from russia. Therefore, ukraine should attack russia because Russian Troops and russian soldiers and russian art i, munitions, come from wherever. How else could they come from and darted good. Like, originally near wish of attack or so because the troops and the soldiers in the guns and the ammunition and the weapons that are being used on ukraine cup from roger. Of course that come from russia. By the way, what youre suggesting is an all out were with russia and martha ravaged, the woman whos interviewing or she doesnt even push back. Its like, oh, okay, thats what you mean. Okay. Manila that i mean, did you pick up on any of this a well wreck if we apply the same reasoning that victoria new and used there, then the 20 years that the United States occupied afghanistan, it would have given the taliban, the right to wire off missiles or use their, you know, their, uh, whoever, supporting them, the taliban to fire rockets off this way to mainland United States. So that kind of rhetoric is nothing more than trying to continue more and more bloodshed. She was saying, how you know, and the rest of it, that interview saying how we didnt move fast enough. We, as in the United States and congress didnt move fast enough to supply more arms. As we know, there was a contingent of republican congress, people who are holding back, holding the line from giving for aiden arms to, to below the mirrors, the landscape. However, the rest of that sound bite. Rick, i think is important to note if you ever want to know why war is a racket, victoria knew and wraps up her interview by saying that, by the way, most of this ukraine aid is coming right back to the Defense Industry as provides the good job. 7 in more than 30 states here in the United States, martha, lets start a war with russia because it will provide great jobs for americans here, the United States, and then well all die during world war 3. But we have the app rep can make it up. What we, what we may have good money before we died. Right . Buying good news by the way. Victoria mueller. Uh. Let me just add one more thing before we go. Stop. Dont move the teleprompter yet because were not going to move on to the next story. Theres something i should say, and i always forget the savings, but thats important. Well, way to start a war with russia, right. And so Many Americans dont know this either. Let me just say this, because this is important. They have more Nuclear Warheads than we do. One more time, they have more Nuclear Warheads that we do. Wouldnt be smart to start a war with. So i wouldnt before it. What do you say . Let me know later by the way, inventory, a newly doesnt start world war 3. Theres always these old white guys in the us congress or willing to do it. Are you ready for this Southern Congress . Men are proposing that idea of soldiers receive the same benefits of us soldiers enjoy, which essentially means that theyre expanding the u. S. Military to include israels military. Again, i am making this up. Heres what it says. Let me read it to victor. Put this up on the screen. Look at the see that as you can see, it says the service of a citizen of the United States in the idea will be treated in the same manner as the services of a soldier in uniform services. How in the hell do you think this will be received around the world . If we literally say that from now on, the us army and the israeli army will be one of the same. Which is what these congressmen, thank god is not the entire congress is just a couple of guys. Were proposing this one to suggest, but no a well rec source. After i finished rolling my eyes, we should say that this is a clickable to roughly 20000 dual citizen american slash is rarely people that are currently serving in the id for member service. And the idea is mandatory is compulsory. If you maintain a and is rarely passport. Now that said, i take personal ambridge to this stupid ridiculous bill. I am the wife of a veteran who is permanently disabled. And for years and years and years, we always hear how the v a doesnt have enough resources. To do a or to do b, we cant take care of our veterans because of this matter, the other thing. But now youre saying you want to spread those limited resources to people who im there. Theyre granted, theyre also americans, but they never served in the us military. Yeah. These are tools, citizens serving in a Foreign Military and the resources are as limited as a claim. They are for our own veterans who works tens of thousands of them homeless, starving, dying on the street, got drug addicted. We cant serve them after theyve served this country. But now you want to give those limited resources away to people serving elsewhere. Its absolutely ridiculous. Those people should resign. You think it will make a lot of americans angry, but its also going to make a lot of people overseas angry. I cant imagine the people in the middle east are not going to look at this and say, oh, so basically what youre saying is the United States and israel are now one country. And if israel is going to take us on, including a rod which would be hearing with very big years at this conversation, theyre gonna say that essentially you guys are taking us on to, i just cant see this ending up in any way other than like a freaking disaster or a catastrophe . Absolutely. This of the optics of this alone rec, shows that we are walking in lock step and further supports be ongoing genocide no matter what they say that this is an agenda side. This i think supports that in that were not no longer tacitly supporting it. Were actively supporting it. Yeah. Good point. Uh, thanks, but when we come back, by the way, sam was saying we care about sam. Hes an independent journalist who covers the state department. You know, whats great about sam and youre not going to be talking here in just a little bit. In fact, youre going to see him here. There is, i say im, how are you, you know, whats cool about, you know, whats cool about this . Got, he is not a laptop. So many journalists are he asked tough questions that often make state Department Officials seem both foolish, nervous, maybe even a little hypocritical, maybe even a lot of a critical. Weve got an example of exactly what were talking about when we come back, stay right there. Of the release of russian states and never as tight as one of the most sense Community Best in most, all sun set up the same assistance to progress be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine the state on the russians to day and split the r t supposed neg, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. For what question did you say a request for check the same wrong just dont you have to shape house and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves will the parts we choose to look so Common Ground the the welcome back. Im rick sanchez. And ive been doing this for so long and i always enjoy when somebody does real journalism. So i want to place something here for you in just little bit. This is a, heres the state department. Can i say lackey . Hes kind of a lackey, you know, somebody is paid to, hes kind of like a p r guy. Matt miller, right. He says, hes saying how theyre the i c c, the International Criminal court. The International Criminal court came out recently and criticized israel and asked for benjamin that the guy whos arrest right for what . 40000 people who are dead. 15217000 children who are dead. The, you know, to alleged uh, genocide, a country trying to get rid of all the people who happen to be palestinians who live in that area. At least most of the accusations. Right . So the icpc is making the case and they say budgeting, went to not nothing. Yeah. Who should be arrested for that . Well, youre gonna hear matt miller essentially say all will be i. C, c doesnt know what the hell is talking about how they are. They Say Something like that, they have no place to be saying Something Like that. And at the end, youre going to hear sam jose needs voice. My guest asking matt miller, a really good question here it is. The United States fundamentally rejects the announcement today from the prosecutor of the International Criminal court that he is applying for arrest warrants for senior is really officials together with warrants for him aust terrace. The 1st of all the israel has its own investigation. Second, we have accountability mechanisms here we have processes that are ongoing to look at israels compliance with their National Humanitarian law. So there are places to look at these questions. Its just in our, in our view, fundamentally not our role of the i see. See, theres, gives us get is not have jurors to, is there a different quote i wasnt referring to criminal jurisdiction method with different ways to look at this long term. We agree with you that the policy people should be a state that has the and have the ability to make these determinations. But thats not where we are today. Thats what were trying to get to you. Were fine with the i c. C going after the so no time slot and you are fine with the eyes you see going after russia in no time flat but now to continue the question when they go. Busy after israel, how dare they owe bill to go after israel. Yes, go after russia. Go after china, go after any country we dont like. But if you go up to a country, we like, then youre not a Real Organization and youre breaking all the rules. I mean, its a, its, i hate to say it, but my gosh, how hypocritical can you be . Sam was saying, hes an independent voice, but you should consider subscribing to hes. Im sub stopped by the way. Hes on subs, doc, under the heading, whos saying sam could see it again. My friend, how are you . Good to be with you. Right. Thanks. So what happened after you asked him that question where you said you were just, you know, you were fine with russia doing it, but now youre not. What do you say . What happened . The only ignore me is low to call on me terribly often. Um, um but, but i had what i thought the effect would be later on. Not miller v solve briefly there the a p reporter was more independent than most us a journalist, although sometimes you, you know, ask some questions from august perspective. Yeah. As well. He is not, you know, i, hes different from me but hes better than the vast majority. Make sure reporters, he picked up on it and started asking them regarding russia and what, what you ended up having is at the beginning, miller was falsely saying that is that uh uh they, they dont apply the i, c, c, a, in the case of israel, palestine because it is ro isnt a party and they claim that house isnt a party either because its not a real estate. Welf. I mean the us can have that position, but its in unique less possession of israel. Palestine is a member of the i, c. C. It, you know, you go to the, i see, see, web page, its listed, palestine, the state of palestine is, are joined in 2015. I even did the screenshots on my latest piece there. So there is no why is that . So hes saying look, that they have no right to do this in defense of palestine because the palestine is not a member, is not a real state, per se, at least according to the itc. Youre here to tell us. Yes they are. So that means youre not at all that millers lie or, or hes ignoring millers lying and saying that its not a real member of the i c, c, the i c c says its a damn we all member takes a state of palestine on their web page they joined in 2015. Its an outright lie. And then later on uh he, uh, uh he uh, claimed later on, matt, matt lee picked up on my questioning. So so, so just to dress of yours up, matt levy is the reporter for a p. Matt miller. Is the, the, the, the, the, the talking head who represents the state department of the United States. So matt levy is asking matt miller, what questions go ahead. Right, keep, keep followed up on my question in saying, what about russia and the i c c. Because, you know, you, youre saying that, you know, israel isnt a party and russia isnt a party. So whats the difference here . Why, why are you accepting it . And one in rejecting it and then other, and he says, well, the difference is that ukraine is ukraine, is a member, is, are they . Well, theyre not lied again. The lied on both sides of the equation, the deep sleep claim, the palestine wasnt a member. And then he falsely claimed that ukraine was that, maam, and of course, that of course, backed up picked up by the New York Times and abc news and cnn. And theyre all now letting us know that there are people at the state department who are lying to us who live here in the United States. That happened right. Course it happened. Yeah. And thatll work. Thatll work. Nobodys picked up on being, nobody picked on it in the room. I had actually left the room at that point. I mean, i had, you know, its kind of hard what i hollered, you know, to attempt to intercede in this situation. And i finally, you know, i plan frankly, i got set off with the situation and my phone was dying. So i, you know, i headed out and it was only a couple of hours later that i found that i looked at it and i was like, hold on. Yeah. Even the, you know that, matt, we, the a p reporter picked up on my questioning. And that he lied, so they have this massive hypocrisy. Yeah. And you know, i didnt get to asked of proper said questions, but just me raising the issue and another record or picking up on it, let them to be making multiple, multiple lives. Matt, matt miller, the spokes person, even at one point, seem to be claiming that the i c. C hasnt bothered to even go to israel, which is brain generally falls, right. The process control when to israel, he met with families who have had loved ones killed on october 7th, a whole 9. He didnt go to gaza, but a plane. Yeah. And that he did, it is ro weve just, well, if its good, i mean, i gotta tell you people ask me sometimes you know, why do you know how to show on our team . My gosh, watching television. Can i tell you something just as a friend . I feel more free and independent doing journalism here. Then i did when i worked at nbc, when i worked at cnn, when i worked at telemundo, when i worked at clear channel, what, where else did i work . I cant even remember. I worked at all fox news. I was doing all of them. I, i have fewer. We always have some kind of debate in this business. You know that. But i get feel less push back here that i ever have working at all those places where i entered and produced a new sam you, i believe, i believe that i think, i think any big outlets youre going to have some kind of constraint, right . But, but the constraints in us establishment media, given the mass criminality of us policy, the mass of policy in the lines of us policy is so massive. So if you have an outlet that basically asks, acts as a funky in some respect, and that goes from box to cnn, to m. S. N, b c. Youre going to get, you know, mass of the distortion of the troops at minimum new i hope taking a back. Are you by the way, when you sit in there and you watch this lama fare and all. 6 out constant defense of israel, and im not gonna look, i dont wanna i dont wanna knock israel, theres a lot of great things about israel. I went to israel, isnt it was in many ways a wonderful country with great people who have done wonderful things. But its position when it comes to the palestinians shouldnt be brought the question. And for some reason you go to these hearings and you listen to these folks and you watch these reporters. Its crazy. Its like were not saying you have to hate them. But at least be honest about some of the crap that theyre doing. How do you deal with that . Oh, its very frustrating being in the rooms of the house, tell you that. Um, but it, to me, the more insidious thing is how the state department, it sets up things for, you know, they, they sort of per tend to say, oh, well we, we really advise as well to take more precautions for, you know, as if theyd care perfect but, but then when you really dig into the actual policy, its in cities, i asked a series of questions beginning last year and then i, i picked it up again about the Geneva Convention, the cornerstone of International Law. Do you recognize virginia of a convention . Yeah. Applied to gaza and they, you know, the way you did and deceived every which way that they possibly could to avoid saying the obvious truth. No, we dont. Thats basically the Us Government policy. We dont recognize that the Geneva Conventions applied to the house to say, apply to everybody on the plan. So, so, so, so if the exemption except the power, so what less of the one you just said . Were not going to go by the Geneva Convention if were going to popo everything coming out of the United Nation so much so that we actually told the United Nations, we dont want to call us time to have the right to be a nation. And then were going to criticize everything that the icpc International Criminal court does then who, who is the ultimate arbiter of World Affairs right now, globally speaking, us like washington, i guess. And you had, you know, a series of resolutions put forward at the u. N. And the us representative would raise their hands and veto it, right. Did that all over again . You had the General Assembly passing resolutions, you know, a 140 to, you know, to 3 of us as well. And i dont know, i knew the beginning it or something. So we said no so, so it was a note on the i c c note of the u. N. Note in the International Criminal court. Oh and uh, who, who did i oh, known of the Geneva Convention. Then were basically saying, yes, we are a head germany. Thats what we are and, and were copying to it and proud to say, right, i mean, oh, they dont talk to it and they dont say they dont even say outright. We dont recognize the Geneva Conventions. They just, you know, you know that they will evade the question. And it one time with this guy, matt miller, i said, do you recognize that you need be conditioned as applying to pals to palestine . And he said, we absolutely recognize that you need a convention and then it quickly went onto the next question. What do you mean to say that you recognize it with respect to palestine . Is that i meant exactly what i said its. And i said, yes, you did. It applied to palestine really . So i meant its 790. 00, zipped his lips. We really like this impression that they are abiding by International Law while that are in the process of reading it. I think the next step of what has to happen so that the gen embley does have some mechanisms. It has a thing called uniting for peace. Where when a member of the security council, okay, its being co opted into whether its a veto power and does abusing its power. And just preventing the security council, which as opposed to maintain security and is obviously failing in that respect to grab hold of the situation. And i think where it has to, what were going to, what were going to watch for that. Maybe we want to have another conversation to and that seems to be the only place that can go given the conditions that we have right now. Sam, were out of time. You are the light to talk to please keep up the good work. And once again, i would encourage people to go to sub stack and look up whos saying read his stuff. Its good, its fair, its true. Thanks against him. Thank you. Thats our show. Remember, always look outside your own box. Chris, as we like to say, dont live in boxes, im rick sanchez. So your next to the, from the Worlds Largest democracy votes, the rest of the planet watches in an emerging multi polar world. Indias voice matters.
