then on defense will not stay great for very long true of haps, for spain. truth on seeing regime, france, true of the ottoman empire. true of the british empire. this law is about to be put to the test by the u. s. beginning this very year. the us fiscal policy is on a completely unsustainable path. now, as you can see right here, let's break it down on the screen in relation to g, d p. the us that interest shown as the brown column arrived here is constantly rising while defense spending the red one here continues to decline. now the difference will equate to half a trillion dollars in 10 years, and that will be by 2054. that's not all, not the international monitor fund has also published a dot economic projections. and that's exactly. i have to show you that right here on the screen. 2 of the congress fiscal deficit is predicted to exceed the 70

percent by next year. and while that many sounds, that the by sounds kind of small, what it's about one trillion dollars. so there's no small at all. i am. i've said that the that poses significant risk to the global economy. now the 2nd figure that i will show you right here shows a debt to g d p ratio that stands at 155 percent. and that's more than 10 trillion dollars. that's what the cost makes to of the long term predictions here. also making green reading with watering numbers is that will be in 2054 and that's about 166 percent. now, do political expert to eddie smith believe that the so called american empire is on a rapid decline, or the weapons industry and the weapons lobby is making tons of money from ukraine . so it's in their interest for the government to basically give them another stipend of money um by,

by purchasing more weapons for ukraine. um and it's in the interest of the neo cons in the neo liberals in the us state department who have been behind this ukraine policy from the beginning. um its been something that the democrats and folks like victoria newland have been been pushing for a long time. people have been predicting the collapse of the west and the western empire for a long time. and i mean, it is inevitable throughout history. empires rise and fall in the us is no different and you see the signs of an empire in decay. you know, 80 percent of our people living paycheck to paycheck. well, the entire country is drowning and dead. the richest people in society are the big banks and the multinational corporations that and all of the working people over their debt to and, and the government doesn't seem interested in doing anything about it. they only seem interested in pumping more money into the military industrial complex and in more foreign wars. what it could check our to, to

a couple more updates. so you would get in about 15 minutes, pencil on the the hi, everybody want to let you know this is a bailey show, very different because we hold no punches here. so look for it. truth fund. number one. congress gives the people who give them money every thing they paid for truth problem number 2, c i a math predicts rushes economy will surpass all of europe as well as that of

canada and the united states truth bomb number 3. israel fires back at a ron and what is appearing like a computerized robotic drone war is the future here and how scary is this? i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. the, i think you tell me if i'm right or wrong, but i, you know, what the us congress did this weekend will as one very respected us. president one said live in infamy. 10 another way. they took the money and they ran not once, not twice, not 3 times. he did it for 4 times, counted them 1234. let me take you through it in case you missed it. i doubt you did, but let me just take you through. because you're not going to hear this take on cnn,

or fox or any place like that. uh, it appears that no country in the world gives more to our politicians, to compel their support. then israel, we know that right? we've done that story. you know that story. so what are the us congress do this weekend? they bought a design $28000000000.00 of your taxes, the taxes you pay to israel, so they continue the war that can continue the war with the palestinians. a number to us tech companies do not like to talk and they would like to have tick tock eliminated. so they lobby, that means they pay congress to go after tick tock. and what in congress doing this weekend? it passed to measure the bad tick tock, teaching so much for the free market principles of a healthy competition. right? okay, now let's go to the numbers 3 and 4 as i promised you, the arms industry in the united states bank roles,

influential think tanks were members of congress, get jobs, and get their support and information. they also hire thousands of lobbyist so many in fact that there are now more of them, more lobbyist representing military contractors in washington. then there are elected officials in washington. but that put that in your function right now. and they make donations as well. legal bribes, do these contractors in the 10s of millions of dollars to members of congress? so what did they get this weekend for all of that? well, perpetual wars conflicts, so they could make more tags and more planes, more bullets, and make more money off of those conflicts with countries like china and russia and congress this weekend. yes, they passed the measure to sudden close to $70000000000.00 in taxes collected from americans. do you crate and taiwan, in other words,

to feed conflicts with china and russia. look, i mean, i've just taken you through all 4 things this saturday. they had 4 people who are paying them, and 4 people got what they want it or 4 entities, i should say. i guess when it comes to us politicians, we really do get what they pay for. but in a strange way, congress has aggressive stance toward russia and quoting, it's all out assault on the russian economy. it may have actually backfired. we're learning. how do we know that? well, we know that because cnbc, one of the most followed business networks in the united states has come out and said so, confirming with russian president vladimir putin predicted last december. interestingly enough, putting those comments back then were ignored by most western media sources like cnbc you actually had to go to different you had to go somewhere else in the world . if you wanted to hear what uh, president potent had said, for example,

you had to go to india to here mr. pollutants production. a little thing when i looked at the most important indicator of economic growth and is a growth of gross domestic product. it's a car by the end of the yard is expected to be cheap on 5 percent. a good idea, but that's a good indicator of the good means we have bounce back from last is decline to the product center. wow. that was back in december. could put in, have been right after all, most americans were under the impression at the time that he said that the russian economy was the, the russian economy was in the dumps close to collapse because of the war with ukraine. and the shame and the sanctions imposed on them by the united states and other nato countries. we were hitting them really hard to make sure they stayed down and we were told, yep, they're down. they're never going to be able to get up again. oops. putting comes out in projects, this isn't going to happen. we're going to be fine. we're going to rebuild our economy. many went even further. you went and did you remember he did the interview

with tucker costs, and we showed you some of that. and while he's talking to, to talk across a, he's boasting that russia's economy will and has surpassed most of the economies of all the countries in europe. still a rush. it was the 1st academy in europe last year despite all the sanctions and restrictions, or is it normal from your point of view, sanctions restrictions, g, impossibility of payments and dollars being cut off from swift services to the sanctions against our ships carrying oil company sanctions against airplane single, somebody, sanctions in everything, everywhere that we make sure that goes to something unique. that the news that the largest number are sanctions in the world which are applied are applied against russia. and we have become europe's 1st economy during this time. i mean, i doubted that what he was saying was true at the time because i didn't know right . of course,

the tucker carlson interview was dismissed by most of my colleagues completely. they never even played it. they never even mentioned that. those who work here in the united states and in western media. until now, here's the article i'm talking about. this is the one that just appeared on cnbc this morning with a headline, which pretty much repeats the russian president's statement. here's the quote. russia is expected to grow faster than all advanced economies this year. in fact, according to the international monetary fund, the i a math, and the cnbc report. russia's g d, p growth will hit 3.2 percent. how good is that? let's compare. i've got this chart i want to show you, and in this chart you see how it stacks up. uh, how russia compares with the g d p wise, by the way, to other g 7 nations. look at brush those numbers. look who's below the us under

russia, somewhere around 2 percent, g, p growth, japan, somewhere around one percent. canada. well, what were on $1.00, france around one italy, u. k. just above half a percent. at the bottom of the list, germany, i barely half a percentage point. and, and you know, what's most ironic about this chart? it is that all of those countries make up the g 7, right? it used to be called the g 8. that's why it's not called the g 8 anymore, because they all got together and decided that russia didn't belong with the big boys. want to look at it now. it appears that russia's economic growth will surpass . all of there's joining us now to discuss this is the executive director of the ron paul institute, daniel mcadams. dan, i mean, i don't know, be careful what your wish for how here here we have all these countries heating.

russia really hard and promising us here in america. don't worry. we're going to bury these guys. it, it, i mean, i didn't even believe is what i heard. some people reported i was doubting pollutants, a politician whether he was being real honest with those figures wants to only because i'm a journalist and i wanted to double check here. we have the, i've come out this weekend as well as the nbc and say, yeah, rogers economy is super seating all the economies in europe, including ours and kind of you say what as well the wrong conclusion the draws at the sanctions are good because they help benefit a country that's kind of a protectionist mentality. sanctions didn't help russia, but what they did, i run a cli, is a enabled rush of the so the products that they would normally sell to places like europe at a much higher price. they would export petroleum in oil to india, india with we're flying it and sell it back to germany at 2 or 3 times the rate. so everyone profits, except for germany as use we've seen from your chart,

which has gone down the tubes, even ukraine by diesel, from russia at a huge markup. so it's not to say that protectionism and sanctions are good is to say that if you have the ability, if you have the industrial base, you can get a route. if you have the resources you can get around and if you're forced into a corner, you're going to find alternative to swift in other economic tools and use them for your own benefit, which is what russia has done. well, i'm glad you made that point and here's why. there are other countries who have been the victims of sanctions from western countries including the united states. well, one of them is a country that i was born in cuba. i mean, cuba has been under the some of the united states with some horrible sanctions now for the past 506070 years. and in that case, they have not been able to get themselves out of it because nobody can do business with them as long as united states as know. then as well is, i mean literally in a bit of a economic depth now has been sold for quite some time now. and it's because of the

sanctions and the castigation is that have been put upon it by the united states. so i don't know what, what we can take from this other than perhaps a large country like russia, is able to combat these kinds of sanctions, smaller countries, maybe not so much i and, you know, talk about unintended consequences. in russia's case, they are actually richer, but in cuba is case you unintended consequences. and i was there, i talked to officials when i took a congressional trip to cuba. every shortcoming they have in their society is blamed on the sanctions. or you don't have a tv the, what's the sanctions? things aren't working well. it's the section so it actually helps keep the regime and power strength and the, the, the regimes in place. do you see any place where and i know you've had lots of discussions with ron paul about this where it may be appropriate to the point sanctions against the country. when do you do that? if i ever malfunctions or inactive or so if you were, or if

a country you should forbid a training with that country that just kind of make sense. but you know there's dismiss this miss a perception that sanctions are one step before more. but when you enter in, when you're interfere with a trade and economic activity of a country is by definition war. so the, the left like sections a lot because they feel like they're going to punish someone without actually going toward the left. it is anti war. and that's not the case because they are an act of war. well, in the case of ukraine, for example, we know that the united states in 2000 to 2014, was very much involved in ukrainian politics. most people would argue that they interfered. some people would go as far as to say that they actually tried to start a cool because they didn't like the guy who was in power there. so or the guy was a leader of ukraine at the time and they wanted to change them and that sort of famous victoria newland tapes that we've all either heard or heard of. now we come back after doing something like that with sanctions to make sure we can, you know,

bury rushes, actions against ukraine, even more. what, how do you describes that scenario as well? it's, it's a situation where the so called experts in the belt way in dc, they're all in a circle and they all listen to each other talk and they don't listen to any will. they don't call me up. they will call rick sanchez and say, hey, is this true that russia is taking chips out of washing machines because they don't have anything to make weapons with. i mean, is it true that the rubel is rubble because that's what everyone is telling me that i know well, maybe you just know the wrong people that you should branch out a little bit more and think a little bit more for yourself. and it's funny on one hand and done the other hand, there are real consequences, real life consequences to this kind of circular mentality in washington dc. and that's, i think, what is leading us toward war? well, it's interesting that you say that because as i was, i think you heard my intro, and i mentioned that one other thing that the military contractors do is they own all the think tanks, they own all the think tanks and put their people on those think tanks,

those are the people in the think things right. who then talk to congress and give them their advice. but they're actually working for, you know, general dynamics or something. and they also send those people to see and them, and fox news to be the so called experts to tell us what's really going on in the world. so they're controlling the message on top of giving money to the politicians . that's exactly true and i'm glad you said the media because it's so important. i mean, there was a time in our, in our, in our recent memory rick, that when you were tired as a, as a general officer in the army, or if you retired as a high c, i, y, ranking c i a official, you would quietly enjoy your retirement, you might move to loudon county and have a little farm it and have a nice life. well, it's not that way anymore. your massive pension that you have from your job is just not enough. so you go to fox news and you go to see and then you go to the other networks and you health drives the narrative because everything in dc is a narrative based. it's not the reality based community on like how it was claimed

when george w bush was present at uh, it's a narrative based community or in fact, presently the chairman of the joint chiefs and staff, i look it up and he has like a $4.00 to $7000000.00 home on the ocean, on some private island in south carolina. since when does a general live on a private island on the ocean? when he gets us into the right wars that make a lot of profits for his friends, and that's what's driving everything. i know you mentioned the money for your credit coming from taxes. it's actually even worse than that because it's not collected out of our pockets directly. it's the most insidious taxable which is the inflation tax. this money is conjured at a stand there and what it does, obviously rec, and you know this very well is it makes the dollars you already have the words that much less. so it hurts the poor and the working out class, much more than the people were talking about in dc. dan mac, adams, thanks so much. let's do this. let's take a break. when we come back, we're going to continue the discussion. speaking specifically about some of the

strategies that are used by the people who are able to turn the people in congress . oh, and we should also mentioned the 3 other things that congress did besides ukraine and why they did. we'll be right back. the take a fresh look around his life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by how of tired vision with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills. and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented to this, but can you see through their illusions going underground? can

the it's hard to imagine as we return here on direct impact, anything like what happened this weekend? i mean, has there ever been a case i ask, where congress has more lately set out to give the people who pay them money, bring money exactly what they want. in all cases, think about it. i mean, the bank tech companies wanted for tick tock to be eliminated to be banned because it's competition for them to bring 10 companies united states and withdrawal social media. they want them out, so they're getting money. and info is loving congress to have them do. and what did congress do on saturday? they said we're going to band tick tock. i mean, the military contractors has them. i got them just explaining, i've been getting

a ton of money, a ton of money to congress because they want them to have these continually wars, you know, and, and what better war a ron is perfect. china, off ideal and russia. yeah. they're the perfect that, i mean, make them a foil, and then they get more money and hopefully they'll blow up more tags so they can make more tax and more your plans and more bullets, etc. so they gave convers a ton of money in congress said, okay, fine, we're going to give you crane and taiwan, a $70000000000.00. here's another one. i mean, all of this happened on the same day. a israel, no country on the history of the planet is ever paid another country, so much money to have them basically do their will. that's what is real best when it's lobby, we all know that it's no secret. so what are the congress do on saturday? $28000000000.00 for israel. i mean, man, i gotta tell you, then this is absolutely crazy. i feel like i need to get on

a mountain top and scream this to the american people. how does this just good? how does this happen as well? the take talk man, by the way, is also related to the is where you live should because jonathan green, black, the head of radio was interest was, was recorded, got a phone call saying we've got a tick tock, problem. the problem with tick tock is a lot of young people are making videos because they're sympathizing more more to palestinians and they're concerned about what's happening in gaza and that's destroying their narrative. israel, i think people, even people who are appropriate, where you would say that they've really kind of box to p r after they went in after october 7th and tick tock support the problem. so interestingly enough, there is kind of a dump tail there, but you're right. saturday was a terrible day for america. if you actually love this country like you, we must do, rick. they gave a ton of money away. but as you know, hardly any of this money is going to ukraine, and we all know this. even soleski said this money that america passed. it will stay in america because it's going right across the belt way to the belt way. bad.

that's who we're going to manufacturing new tags to get blown up as you very well pointed out. so this is more like corporate welfare with a little bit of sprinkle on top for. so let's get to get a couple of new cars in the house. maybe, well, what do you make of this new speaker, this guy a john? so what an interesting bird this do to is personally comes out and he says it's about america 1st. it's about controlling the border. it's about securing the border. it's about taking care of some of the needs of americans. now we move forward a couple of months and so that how it americans the border i'm going to bag needed for measures what what, what, what, how do you do that? what happened of this guy via the same guy. the people are wondering if they have something on him at the very least he sees a not case. i mean because the other thing we didn't mention is the files and reauthorization and it's pfizer on steroids because it really defines without getting into the woods. rita finds how the government can spy on you without a warrant. they can use your plumber and your gardener and other things. they

weren't able to do that before. but speaker johnson was quoted, he said, well, you know, when i was on the judiciary committee, i saw thousands of abuses by the f b. i thousands of them. but then i had a briefing from our intelligence community and i realize how important it is, the tier of is l, which just shows he's either incredibly not even gullible or somehow he's in on it . but we know for a fact that the intelligence committees routinely live, a lot of the members of congress, they live, to their case. anyone who has forgotten their rock, libya, etc, all these briefings. it's one of the reasons why i talked to paul never went to his classify briefly because he knows nothing but a pack of lies after. oh wow. it just looks like i mean, i mean, i guess this guy johnson, maybe we shouldn't blame i'm. it's his job. and he's going to do whatever put some more money in his pocket. i just looked at open secrets this morning and apparently he's res, 9000000 dollars from different donors, etc. so i guess after a while vermont there and to basically represent you and meet them, they're just,

it's a job. they're no different than being a lawyer or, or a doctor or anything else. it's a job. you know, if i can make do an operation that pays me more than the other operation, i'll do that operation, or if it's a lawyer, i'll handle this guy's case because he has more money than the poor guy over here. so i guess this is what we get, right? it's a capital system, as well as other capital systems, the crony capital, the system. that's a big difference. you know? but what speaker johnson did is very, very unusual. and i was, i spent the 11 or so years on the hill, and i had never seen it. the only way he got to ukraine bill passed was he relied on democrats. he actually lost among the people who elected him. speaker i e. republicans. he lost that vote. he reached over he read just how the rules to be, to mix the rules for those as well. and he over he, i'm going to get too far into it. but he overran the republicans on the rules committee and depends it on democrats, on the rules committee, to pass out a rule to bring it to me before that is extremely,

extremely rare. so the republicans are furious with him. they want to get rid of a people like thomas massey, who's a patient and a hero, wants to see the backside of the of my jobs and as fast as possible. i liked this massey guided by the way, hey, there's something else i want to share with you over the weekend, israel fired back in or on after a rotted fire to time for bombing there, syria embassy, and assassinating to iranian leaders. crazy what's happening? it looks dangerous to me, considering this war going back and forth between is real and iran. by the way. it's not really as real, it's us. but whatever, we'll pretend it's as real. they're, they're, they're having this battle with drones and computers and blasting things out of the year. of what appears that made the most evident is that israel is going easy on the wrong to fulfill a promise to the u. s. so to us will that look the other way when, when they, when they attack rafa, i mean talk about an interesting negotiation where it appears that once again baby nathan, yahoo is going to be able to get what he wants. as i say this,

he went to the us and said look, i want to attack rafa. they said no, we don't want you to attack rasa. and finally, so what if i go easy on israel and i just do this little, this thing that i just described. and they said, well, that, okay, you're going to check off on it looks like that's what is going on here. and what's discussing is that the by the administration is not telling israel don't attack ross because you've killed enough innocent women and children. they're saying don't attack or off. it's going to hurt my re election campaign. yeah, no, that's what it's all about. talk about the cynicism of someone like that. who can so cold hearted about the pain and suffering and slaughter that's going on there. they only take of their re election chances. it's disgusting. what they are. yeah. you know, i start looking at this thing this week and i always concerned as i am, we're down to about 2 minutes here. but this thing with these drones and these missiles and they're shooting them up expecting that are going to be shut down. and it's all done through computers and animation and, and a i what i, how is, is taking us ma'am. the scary thing is it normalizes slaughter in warfare. and we

had this a lot when we started using drones when people who operated them in, for example, new mexico, when you went over to iraq and afghanistan and assassinated people without any human contact. i think that's incredibly, incredibly dangerous. and i think we've seen the p t s d in the people who are not in the traces, but they're basically playing a computer game. they're getting as bad as anyone else. so it does something to your soul into your mind when you kill people in the matter. if you do it from a dark room in new mexico or in a trench and you know, in, in dumbass daniel mcadams, as usual. my thanks to you, sir, for sharing your wisdom with us. we'll look forward to talking to you once again. i think of it before i go, i want to remind you of our mission here. it's pretty simple. we tried the silo the world by telling all the truths, not just the one that i want to be sparked on troops don't live in little boxes. we try to develop stories through and through with different ideas, different perspectives, things you'll never hear anywhere else. this is direct impact and hi emerett

sanchez. the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept we're such short or is it conflict with the 1st law? show you alignment of the patient, we should be very careful about visual intelligence at the point, obviously is to makes a trust rather than fit the various jobs with artificial intelligence we have summoning the theme and the robot must protect this phone existence with alexis, the

entitles into stops and the special military operation, ukrainian law states have reached almost half a 1000000 troops as a washington footpath to send more weapons and ate the key of your office as ukraine's pain. the prize in human lives also ahead the, the bombs continue to rain down on gaza as they enclave locks 200 is of the conflict. but there's no condemnation of these roles. action, the usa, the font, the report in the bud drive validations around the world. trying his rights to carry. i'm normally economic and trade exchanges with the old countries in the world including russia on the basis of the quality and mutual benefits allows.
