Handcuffs slotting social media. The terminal has also led to a shift to Online Learning postponed classes and disrupted graduation plans. But students here say what is even more alarming is the erosion of Academic Freedom and a growing disillusionment with the american justice system. One of the west constantly lectures, other nations on free speech, while cracking down on anyone who opposes their policies, even if its their own citizens. These people say the Ongoing Police brutality as spills the beans on washingtons hypocrisy and double standards on freedom of expression. Apart from iranian suit, as officials nearby and have also criticized the wise for unleashing violence against its own people. On monday, spokesman of a runs for an industry not working on it. So do the demonstrations into us and the citizens that american universities reveal the extent of on anti is rarely sentiment, as well as public vigilance regarding whats happening in gaza. He also said that it shows the unwavering us support for quote, as well as genocide in gaza. Which has since day one received backing from the american government. And some European Countries can on a also, uh, advised us to officials that are sending police to campus is, is not a y solution. And then its that it has to listen to the rightful demands of its own citizens. And thats what these students here, this university has a code and this friday. So it appears that the use of force against students of the warehouse has reached a tempting for orange worse now, rob the lime lights on the table stage and as put washington on a critical cross roads either or to support please raise the army or protect the rights of its own people. Right, direct impact time. Next with rick and guess today, including central risk ted rule on the panel, cuts down in moments then join me for the makers global News Headlines and the top of this starts the fire body. This is a daily show thats somewhat different, so glad youre there. We hold no punches, so look for it. Truth bomb number one. Donald trump says hes got to stop d dollarization. Can you do that . Im going to show you what he said, groupon number tote ramos. Self serving and dishonest Correspondents 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. Im rick sanchez. This is direct impact the, the so the south Community Led by brazil and 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 comes president , he will punish those who even think about the substituting the dollar for another currency. You know, i will, i likely the push toward the dollar ization came about because of the sanctions and other 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 does they do at the us . Places like brazil and india and theyre on and other started asking themselves. And that is why in january of 2023 briggs, the global south group that includes brazil and 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, washingtons dangerous sanctions crates. Former President Trump says i will not let you do that. Heres this quote. I hate when countries go off the dollar. I would not allow countries to go off a dollar because why do we lose that standard . That will be like losing the revolutionary war, illusionary war anyway, that will be a hit to our country. So says the former president , donald trump. Ok now here. So you know, i cant help but think when i hear that, yes, it would be, i see it to 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 threaten other countries from doing business with whatever country we dont like at the time. Joining us now to discuss this is ted rall. Hes a syndicated columnist and an officer and an Award Winning cartoonist also angie wong. Shes a co host of the final countdown on radio. Sputnik thanks so much guys for joining us. I guess we start there, you know, its interesting tat, ill start with you that the former president will come out and say. Busy that this is what im going to do because its 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 weve had recently, wasnt. Yeah, he was one of the interesting aspects of donald trump as a political personality, is that hes 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 said 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 reassuring the world. Dont worry, were going to unwind the sanctions. Really make sure that when you invest 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 is going to touch them, your capital will be safe. But your us dollars will be fine, no matter where they are, even if we dont like your politics or we dont 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 about and he, i got one for you this week. And 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. Im sure you either attended or heard of this. Its 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 where some dude from saturday night live with a very attractive phase side of that life. For those of you watching us overseas isnt 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 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 mr. 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 to night. Thank you and good night. Pardon me for saying this, but as i watch that i want to vomit in my mouth. Im sorry, but the most person ever and those people who are there are also incredibly, incredibly decent. Are they really oh gee, oh my goodness, everyone in that room is part of the flight in state media. Theyre only being invited because theyre kind to bite in and that to trump, traditionally, the white house Correspondents Dinner is of 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. Lets just, lets just blow a lot of air. Like its just the whole thing is bad. Yeah. Fashion was bad, the hair was bad, the speeches were like, like even like today, other networks are not we publishing whats being said because it was so awful as part of the switch. 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 with a por ukrainians and run out of soldiers . And youre 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 nobodys really counting. But we have some official numbers, palestinians in gaza. How decent do you have to be to make sure you are the person responsible for making sure that happen . Just a question to a look i, i wish i knew how decent youd 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. 1 going to the american citizens sleeping outside on the street. Youre getting no help whatsoever from their government, presumably that theyve paid taxes into for many years before they hit the skids and so on. Some bad luck. Now me the mean the joe biden is a decent person. No, it persists, but it is not. Theres not much there there. I always think about how. 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 wasnt 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 youre a journalist, you shouldnt 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. Its not just wrong now, it was ridiculously wrong this year. This is the worst ive ever seen. But its 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. As part of the script you gotta understand, this is the club as you know, and im 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 thats not necessarily job security these days in the newsroom. You know, spacing of that. Im 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 bidens 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 have 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 them. Brushing the danger for others is my definition of patriotism and harris. The show is what all you do when you report truth over lives. Thats what i want to close the night with my genuine, thanks to free press are some to call you the enemy of the people as wrong as dangers. You literally risk your lives. Doing your job. You do the free press, you risk your lives. Most of the people in that room, ive never covered a story. Most of the people in the home have big offices in new york city or other big places or big cities in the United States. Most of those people ring teleprompters for a living and when they dont get out, trust me, ive 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. Please arent 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 didnt tend to you to recollect. 3 ive seen a few shots fired in anger when i covered the war in 2001, and thats gonna stay on the 1999 cardinal conflict. 1 ive been to get us in a few times and youre absolutely right, right. What you say you dont 100 percent. Right. The independent journalist who travel hard, many of them, for example, right now the 0 reporters, your in gaza. 4 for your dad or dad or dad, theyve been killed. Yeah, thats really party. You know, ive, ive seen Major Network guys literally like you said, have like got your pallets of beer shipped to them at their special cost place. Thats about supposedly in the words, i mean, its a joke. Yeah. Yeah. And you do want to add something to that a. Yeah, i mean, of course, real journalists run to the epicenter of conflict and we cover it. I dont know if anyone in that room has done that, joe biden on that night could not even like spoon himself let us into. Now, i dont know what hes talking about to himself is reading a teleprompter that evening. I dont think those are actually his. Busy words coming out. Yeah, well, thats all been fabulously true with almost everything joe biden does, but to be respectful, hes 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 theyre protecting them so much and they dont 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. Thats wrong and thats not democracy. Despite what this dude from saturday night live, maybe saying ok, sorry, what are we going to next . When we come back . Have you guys seen whats going on all over the country . It gets crazy. Now its 200. 00 universities. Emory university in atlanta and Northeastern University. Now its out of boston, you see a la all its, its, its, its not a whats going on and these places and were going to show you more video. Busy were going to show you whats going on with these disturbances and people who apparently dont like mr. Bidens prophecies will take you through that state right there. The take a fresh look around his life. Kaleidoscopic isnt just a shifted reality distortion by how us to do vision. With no real opinions fixtures designed to simplify or confuse, she really was say better well, is it just as a chosen for you . Fractured images presented is fine. Can you see through their illusions, going underground can oh, what i want sure. Seems wrong. Just dont safe house because the application and engagement equals the trail. When so many find themselves will support. We choose to look for Common Ground the water back. This is direct impact on average sanchez, im gonna show you some incredible video 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. Its this thing is continuing to grow. Its not stopping tens of thousands of University Students all over the country, most of home who dont think joe biden is all that decent and to oppose the president s very pro war policies took to the streets. There were new demonstrations Emory University in atlanta who knew Northeastern University just outside of boston. Thats a new place where this weekend, more demonstration, suddenly broke out. University of california in los angeles would mass arrest fights. The violin classes with police. This in this thing is not stopping. Heres a sampling the, the, the, [000 00 00;00] the, this is really amazing that the, you know, im old enough to remember. Uh, the late 19 sixtys. I was a young man of course, but, and i remember the movement back then that was very anti establishment in 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 doesnt represent us and stop with these wars and stop killing people and stop sending our money overseas. I mean, obviously, in this case, theyre focusing on gaza. But there really is a sense of rebellion that im seeing among young people in the United States. Like i havent seen it in g and a long time. Yeah. Whats wonderful about those video clips is the police doing their job again . Its nice 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, thats fine. But honestly, i want to go to your graduation next week. I want you to finish up your final this week. Thats what i paid for this. This is not good. I dont 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 communist martzs and they should be stop that is that, is that what youre saying . Im trying to understand. I said, oh, sure. I spent a lot of time to columbia and m y you in the past week. Ive been sitting there watching the protesters when talking to them. Theyre looking for something fun to do as a weather in new york warms up. Its come, you know, people are hanging out there, hooking up their drinking beers. Theyre having a good time. Thats all funding. Well, but heres the thing. They dont necessarily know what theyre protesting. And theres plenty of reporting being done by lot of these protesters, they heard about something called october 7th, but thats as far as it goes, they dont actually know what theyre protesting. Theyre just doing it because its fashionable. When do you think that they know that there are at least 30000 people whove been massacred in guys 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 . And i say that they have heard things and that theyve been talking to their friends about it. But ultimately, i dont know if they go beyond that. I dont think it goes deeper than not. I dont think they understand the history of whats been going on and cause i get that these are the images that theyre seeing every single day in the news and amongst friends. But ultimately, i just dont get the sense that they really are in deep cells that they really understand whats going on. So it sounds like youre telling me that you think whatever zeros doing is is right that youre, youre, youre on the side of israel on this and you think the palestinians are all terrace. Now i have, im not a fighter on this one. Im just reporting the news on this one along which had ro, weve talked about this every day on our show, the final countdown. I will tell you that i dont have a position on this and ted knows that i do see i do have a bleeding heart for those who have died and gaza. I think it was terrible. What has happened . I think its been a massacre and i think theyve completely demolished most of gaza to the point where the policy and cannot return that i get all that i get the politics of it. But these kids are being used as pod for someones political agenda. I dont 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 cancelled. How about a dad . These are just a bunch of us, as angies a bunch of bunch of spoiled brats who shouldnt go home and uh their cause is really not justified. You agree with us a hello. All right, it says empty. Well. 3 looks like empty, i spend some time up at columbia. I have a 11 di card, so i can, im allowed to go on campus. I talked to the protesters, people i talked to, were very sophisticated and knowledgeable. Um, they had a, they understood the history of sutler colonialism in a former british mandate, palestine and they understood the history of the 1967 in the 1973 wars. They understood how god came to under the control of a problem off which contrary to right wing talking point was out of the election. The stall power in a to against about the theres like the 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 theyre just fighting because theyre because they thought that, you know, its bad to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians. That would be fine with me because killing tens of thousands really civilians is always wrong, but thats a big, thats not the situation with these young people. These are very i, these are smart. Well informed care, very impressive. Young men and women who are attending in the case of columbia, one of the best colleges mean states. Well, okay, moving on to another topic, if there is a spirit of rebellion right now in this country, its not just targeting the corruption of announcements and universities. Its 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 millions 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 setup to watch a tom is so, so the rich doing you, you see the down, the, the support, theres a lot of issues because it hasnt. Nobodys warren the save yourself to get back on to the what. What do you think . What do you think of this . What and you do think its ok to confront a us politician who obviously takes a lot of money from donors, corporations and i dont think mansion is that different from any of the rest, but he is at the top of the list. Or is it ok to do that . Yeah, its always okay to do that because these guys go into office, you know, making a 100000. 00 a year and they walk you. 9 you know, hundreds of millions of dollars, you know, rich, sure. And it, it just doesnt make any sense. So of course its ok to target a public figure like joe mentioned, look, you should explain how he makes his money. Every one of them should, you know, they, i dont even know if they even do bills around the country. They just pretty much stay true all day until you make a 100200300000. 00 a year. But youre but, but yet youre worth a 3xw4xw. And they said, what is the drive . See . He drives . Yeah. And mccardle. What does what, what, what did they say he drives to mazda rod is theres, its ridiculous. But it is. And it is what it is and were out of time, but well get you back. This is a great discussion. Im so glad that we had a chance to share this. And i think these are hard stories that all of us should be talking about my things to ted 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. Weve got to stop living and little boxes. Just dont live in boxes. Truths are everywhere, its what we focus on. Im rec center. Busy this is direct in the when the Worlds Largest democracy votes the rest of the planet watches in an emerging multi polar world, india as voice matters. But who will be the power behind watches, almost 1000000000 people decide and billions more, react the on the 2 ends of rough walk, because we have no, all the choice will destroy the hum mazda battalions. That b as really Prime Minister confirms problems to conduct an operation in that off. Thats the spike talks with, from us being in full swing in the slums on American Media report that claim new daily ordered the field, the stuff, a nation of a sick separatist figure in the us and also coming up in the program this our physical body as soon as gathered at shareef university in toronto, most our support for the wave of pro palestinian demonstrations in the west. The readings joined the global relatives in solidarity with American Students who are
