7:30 am
and tactics to fight against terrorism. we would like russia to train our troops. this also concerns combat tactics and the use of weapons. we're interested in purchasing military hardware. let me see, we're here to train the new share army using the military equipment that has arrived here. this has equipment for different military specialties for the promotion of military specialties. we are here to develop military cooperation between russia and these year. now this comes on the wave of anti western sentiments in the region as the locals demand, the u. s. and french troops withdrew from african nations. and they had been mass protests in this year against the us military presence. and the government has ordered the american troops to leave. recently, new general, officially reformed dates, military cooperation deal with the u. s. on grounds that he was unconstitutional. we spoke with a retired diplomats from this year, and he said his country is warm relations with russia. a based on national silver
7:31 am
d of linda find us for some reason from independence to today. we have mainly collaborated with the west. we have seen the limits of his collaboration. we have ask repeatedly that necessary corrections be made for our interest to be considered . but that was not accepted, all cooperation with russia results about submission. it is not the will to lead one most it to go and submit one self to another mazda. we are suffering country and all the decisions we have made so far in line with this thing, the sovereignty of our country, allowing our people to live with dignity. as long as our interest in line, i think there is no problem with this collaborating. this is not the 1st time all countries have collaborated. we worked with the soviet union during the period of dakota nice ation. and then 2 colonial struggle which country provided the most difficult to african countries. it was the soviet union. that means the most responsible for the most powerful states was russia. we want to ensure the survival
7:32 am
of all populations. we want to ensure the territorial integrity of our country. we want to decide for ourselves what we should do if russia is ready to help us achieve its goals by sending instructors to guide some of our military personnel to teach us how to handle certain equipment purchased from them. and the for us, you agrees to sell is the equipment we need for our defense. why would we turn our backs on russia? why i don't see any problem with this type of co operation. and that's the all big this our how senior again in less than 30 minutes a the, everybody, this is a daily show that is very different because we hold no punches. so look for it. truth bomb number one for us votes know to statehood for palestine
7:33 am
at the un isn't. that was one thing. them wiped off the map. just asking truth from number 2. the number 3 highest ranking official in the us says is decision to give israel more money was biblical biblical. you're going to hear him say it for himself. coupon number 35 minister and australia calls the law mosque, an arrogant billionaire who thinks he's above the law. what is this all about? we're going to tell you, i'm gonna change this and this is direct impact or the so if you've been watching this show this week, which i'm sure many of you have millions of you. thank you very much. i've been telling you about and bringing you reports and showing you all the videos of some
7:34 am
of the demonstrations that have been taking place in the us university campuses. students are defending palestinians. i'm calling for a cease fire in the gaza, for the most part. most are highly critical of the way that israel has acted in uh, what they call a massacre of palestinians. here's some of the, here's some of the demonstrations that we're talking about here. they're the . so as you look at this, many of these students are being arrested band or told they will no longer be allowed to protest the reasoning, because their words are apparently to mean to hurtful, like the hurting the feelings of too many jews who live in new york that's actually those are, those are not my words. that is what the mayor of new york actually said yesterday
7:35 am
when he decided to prohibit future protests with his decree. so what, what is it about their words that is hateful? apparently a part of it, or a big part of it is saying things like from the river to the say, which is according the critics of the protesters and us official policy, a signal that israel should not exist. then if you're saying that you're, you know, you're going to far, that's the thinking right, by us officials, the state department and all the people who don't want these folks to be protesting in these college campuses. but here's the iron. so here's the irony of what i just said yesterday at 0 in the united states. our country took an official position. that seems to say that it's palestine that should be white off the map and maybe not exist. how else would you interpret or describe the u. s. being the only country that voted against the united nations security council resolution. just
7:36 am
recognizing palestine as a country with membership at the un, the us voted no. and because it has, you may know this or maybe you don't, but the united states has a very unique position of the un. it has been to power veto power. that means the us kill the measure and going to happen. yeah. gone, right. think about that. the country that says israel has a right to exist and nobody can say otherwise, or else you're a terrorist. if you do is now saying palestine doesn't have a right to exist. and you have to buy the ministrations as it continues to stand for a 2 state solution to this day. they have been saved. so for years, every presidency work for a 2 state solution. but that may say this, that they don't have a right to. how can both things be true? i ask no possible, right?
7:37 am
which is why i mean, you can't say they don't have a right to be a member of the world community in the us and then say, we want a 2 state solution that that's, that's befuddled. and speaking of a following watch this, this is a state department p r spokesperson, yesterday he comes across as if he's talking in circles here, as he, as he tries to justify both things at the same time. here it is. uh, how are you guys going about so uh, matt, since uh, october 7th, we have been pretty clear that sustainable peace in the region can only be achieved through a 2 state solution with israel's security guarantee. then it remains argue that the most expeditious path toward statehood uh for the housing in people is through direct negotiations between israel and the palestinian authority with the support
7:38 am
of the united states and the other partners who share this full. we believe this approach can tangibly advance housed india and goals and a meaningful and in, during way. we also have been very clear consistently that premature actions in new york, even with the best intentions, will not achieve statehood for the house and young people. additionally, as reflected in the report of the admission committee, there was not humidity among the committee members as to whether the applicant met the criteria of membership set forth in article 4 of the un charter. i've been book reports in 4th grade in mrs shaw's class that were better than that. i mean what, what the hell is he talking about? did you get that? because if you did, you're certainly smarter than i am. additionally, and then put the podium what i mean, what was, what was even saying what i mean, what you just saw there is called shock. i'm look,
7:39 am
you should circumlocution talking around in circles and saying absolutely nothing. i mean that's, that's the guy who represents the united states of america. what i mean, how, how can you say that you are for palestine being its own state and then both know to let palestine be its own state or a member of state in this case, but wait, it gets worse. remember this week we reported how the speaker of the house by johnson had completely done an about face and broken his promise to not pass a to israel and taiwan and ukraine until we committed to spending money here, especially at the border while we were left with the question of why he would do that. why did he change his mind? how to do this about face? we reason after i did a little digging that it could be the $9000000.00 that he's gotten, and campaign donations that i found in one of the websites that i always checked to
7:40 am
see which politicians get how much money from home right now. and that certainly could be, you know, uh, that certainly could have something to do with it. you know, money always does. but wait, there's more. but this is another reason that he may have done it. the one i'm about to share with you and it comes from johnson himself. the 3rd most powerful man in the us. i'm one of the most powerful man in the world right now. just said that he made his decision to send america's tax dollars overseas, especially to israel. why? because the bible told himself israel is a critical ally of ours. and i think most people understand the necessity of this funding. their funding for their very existence. they only stable democracy in the middle east. i mean, of course there's, for those of us who are believers, that the biblical ammunition, to stand with israel, we will and, and they will prevail as long as they're there with them. and this is an important,
7:41 am
very important symbolic gesture and a very important replenishment of their stock calls, for example, of the iron don't the reason they shut down all those drones and missiles in the last attack by iran is because we assist you with that. i think the american people understand the importance of that. did you catch that? for those of those who are believers, it's a biblical admonition. what does he really just say that foreign policy is based on religious belief, and this is what we accuse the caliber and some of these other extreme organizations of are we different in this country? i'm a christian, i believe in whatever it is that you know, i am part as a christian, but wait a minute. when i take a job to represent all the people set about my religion, by the way that does the bible even really say that what he's talking about, where, how i mean as both a christian and a journalist, i immediately started wondering what, what's he talking about? i wanted to know where this thinking comes from. so we did a little checking and,
7:42 am
and here's what we have found, mike johnson. for those of you who don't understand where he's coming from on this is i'm on a group of evangelicals in the united states who believe in something called dispensationalism big word, right? dispensationalism. if for some reason these folks are dispensationalism, don't think the very same way about jesus as teachings. as do most of the worlds christians, interestingly enough, why? well, while most christian see all people who believe in jesus as the people of god, the dispensation was thinking is that it includes the israelites and the hebrews, which were the people of god before jesus is coming. i'm not trying to turn this in the sunday school, i'm just trying to explain the differences and thinking here. so bear with me if you could. so where does that thinking that historic conclusion or dispensation thinking come from?
7:43 am
well 200 years ago and zion as it began to grow in europe. many scientists began funding and pushing a new movement in christianity. think about that. zion is pushing a movement in christianity that promoted to dispensations, one for the christian people, and one for the elder chosen people of god, the jews to fast forward to today. and you have the majority of evangelicals in the united states. now believing that god has in fact 2 covenants, one with questions and one would choose most questions around the world. see this as a kind of like a on up ending of his story? christian cheeks. right. because things changed after jesus was, you know, after jesus is coming and that, that's why we got the new testament. but they're saying no, no, no, don't look at that. they say they're not against, by the way, the jewish faith. people who believe in the way that most christians do, they just believe it's a different faith. the judaism is a different faith in christianity, but those like mike johnson,
7:44 am
who think differently say no is we'll say is tied to and determined by the bible. the christian bible per site. even the new testament, i guess these are the people who are dispensation was put another way they are christian zionists. and that is what mike johnson adheres to more so according to his own words perhaps. and his adherence to the united states of america. ok to discuss all of this, i am joined now by jeff helper. he's an israel american professor who was offered multiple books about israel and palestine. maybe we start there, maybe we start where, where my johnson says what he just said. that because he is in biblical and believes in biblical munitions. that is part of the reason or maybe the main reason that he is choosing to support israel and send them as much money
7:45 am
as they seem to want or ask for. so that you say what professor? well, i mean, that's part of why israel's prevailing over the palestinians and apparently over the americans as well. you know, this is a war of narrative. and, and israel, every, every several colonial project like design is i'm like, if you're coming to north america, going to canada to australia, south africa, wherever mix up a story about why the land belongs to them. why belongs to us jewels and not the palestinians. and the bible was already made narrative, it wants to get powerful people like, or, i don't think the only johnson i think bites and probably fits into that as well as a religious catholic. and it may be not such a are you the logical way, but certainly that be, grew up with that. those kinds of values when he says we share values with israel.
7:46 am
i think that's kind of where it's coming from. even though there are no shared values, a genuinely between the united states and israel, and that's how israel wins. and what we see now, for example, in the protests for you on the columbia and old of united states. yeah, you support a palestinian rights have been re narrated as done by some of the system. so and the palestinian issue gets completely lost and that's where it is narrative, it's very powerful. so, but it's when it comes into ways and doesn't it? most of us believe by the way that there is a very strong is really lobby that has been able to give a lot. busy of people, money so that they can back from and, you know, that's i guess the american way for gm, the tobacco company and everybody else does. it is real, does it as well. and that's why they're so successful. are you saying this is this mindset, this thinking, this idea logical principle that they've apparently been able to get into many
7:47 am
christians or evangelical questions, specifically in the american uh, in the american diaspora is just as strong as that other thing that they do or is it both together that get america to do what ever it is a israel wants as well. i would add a 3rd thing. i think you've got the biblical narrative. and of course these riley's play on that. and there's a racial subtext where white, where europe and we were like, you speak english and the arabs. don't me. second of all, you what all the money, a pack and lot of money directed towards candidates that are for israel, including yours liberal money going to trump the candidates. but the 3rd issue that i write about in my book war against the people is that israels become the sub contractor for the united states in terms of protecting and extending american to germany and capitalist and germany all over the world. and so israel using the
7:48 am
palestinian laboratory and the weapons and the, and technology is the repression based on population control and surveillance, and so on. you know, has become the enforcer of global capitalism. for the united states who's pentagon weapons simply don't help in terms of repressing population. so that's a 3rd reason why israel's made itself very valuable to united states but, but, but here's what's going on right now. i think what we are doing in this country and what i just described moments ago are the you and we said palestine doesn't have a right to be a member, which means essentially they don't have a right to be a state. while we're arguing that israel up should never be that their state hood should never come into question. i mean, it's almost becoming farcical. i mean, it's becoming like a full winnie movie. it's would take us what we're saying and what we're doing and what israel is doing. and i would argue we are hurting the united states of america's credibility and we are hurting is real. we are hurting israel around the
7:49 am
world. people are now looking at is real, not the way perhaps they used to see if they're looking at through eyes of we don't like you people, we don't like what you're doing. i think that can help what happened based on what i'm seeing and what most people in the world with 2 eyes are seeing professor you agree? no good. and i'm going to complicate your life. i don't support that to say that idea that to say the idea, it's simply a part date. we don't have time to get in through it. but with a tuesday idea, 11 is riley stayed on 85 percent of historic balance when you're palestinian stuck into a little band to stand like in south africa and 15 percent. and then you called the baptist and the states. i'm in favor of an anti colonial strategy from the river to the sea, which israel does disappear or is it your state? but it's replaced by a democratic state of equal rights for all the jews and all the palestinians living
7:50 am
between the river. this the plus the rest of g 's return. that's the real solution . one of the problems is, you know, it's a dilemma because when you vote for a palestinian state that seems to help the palestinians and that's in a way. but you're also locking them into a 2 state solution or any palo city and state is going to be a baptist. and so in that sense, you really trapping them in a way and the 2 state solution that isn't good for them. well, if we have to begin to think out of the box toward some anti colonial, so that's a fascinating i've never heard a take like yours and i think it's fascinating and it, and it bears a delving into some more. you also said something really fascinating about israel try or israel being a jewish state, such an interesting question and i want to go into that with you as well. so stay right there, jeff helper. brilliant man. we're going to continue the discussion with him when we come back, especially the issue with the mean engineer who keeps raising and raising and raising he to uses the bible. what he says this, we are
7:51 am
a jewish state and must remain a jewish state and the world most recognizes as such, puts as the mean. what does that mean and can it work? and is that really democratic? so many questions will be right back the
7:52 am
the, to for talking to jeff helper, who has written books about this. once again, the book that people should buy, if they want to get a sense of what you described. again, jeff, tell us the title that you call them and you just did call them. i did call them, isaac israel, liberating palo signed by jeff household zionism, settlement colonialism in the case for one democratic state. while you're it's, it's perfect that you're joining us because i think so many of us have so many questions about this. i mean, for example, you know, israel has been and can be again, a great country. and jews in general are some of the coolest people in the world, not to mention some of this smart stripe. uh but, okay, those 2 things being equal and true. why this is real?
7:53 am
have to be a jewish only state. most of us don't understand that if somebody in the united states stood up tomorrow and says, you know, florida is a catholic, only stayed most people would say, what are your crazy? yeah, that's what they say. and that's really a lot the best. right. and that's where it becomes impossible, because you can't, 1st of all, i can have a jewish state in the country in which the majority population is us. and when scientists began, 90 percent of the population wasn't yours and it's been displaced and thrown out in their land steak and then we see what's happening and gaza as a part of this genocide. the 2nd reason can have a jewish status because most of the things that george democracy when blinking and bite and talk about that. what does it, what's a white democracy? mean? what does a christian to my, we know wants to qualify democracy. something's going on. israel is not like united states. israel is an eastern european country. that's where his line is. some came from. think of a or bon hungry, think a single pole,
7:54 am
but that's what he is real as like. mm hm. and so it's taking this really racist f . no national and religious kind of nationalism and, and, and, and post it on the palestinians. and so in a jewish state there is little place for non to it's just like i'm hungry. there's no place for gypsies, roma yours, any other minorities as well? certainly migrants. and that's the problem. israel can have a jewish population. i live here, i came from united states 50 years ago. so obviously i see a link between this country and the jewish people. i'm not a stranger, but i have to integrate into the existing society, which is a palace didn't majority society. i can come in and claim it for my own exclusively . take it over and then expect that the world to accept me is a democratic, peaceful, loving country. i don't have a dog genocide on the side that says that the world does not see is real right now
7:55 am
as a peace loving country. and part of the reason they don't see it as real as a peace loving country is because the united states is doing everything possible to make sure is, well, it's not a peace loving company. company countries, right? so, so, so, but need to, so we're creating is we're, we're, we're making this situation where we're making life for average is really living there and is real, more dangerous? i think we're doing the very thing we're trying not to do. am i wrong? well, it's more complex than the time we have. but look, the united states doesn't really care about israel. the united states care israel's and made itself like this said before, extremely useful for the states is become a sir. but yeah, united states of middle east were talking about a middle eastern nato with israel saudi arabia and egypt as the pillars of app to protect the american interest. because the americans themselves want to retreat when they want to withdraw from the middle east and pivots in china. huh. and so
7:56 am
israel becomes that very important, you know, at north chomsky once called it america's largest aircraft carrier. so it's, it's arm to the teas, not because the united states a lot of this real or because and not because of the caregivers. riley's died like they don't care of crime the inside. but the cause they need israel as a strong military power to protect against chinese and russian adoptions and to protect the western who gemini. so there's a much bigger geo political story that explains america supports besides loving you . we will have that discussion because you jeff helper are, are the like to talk to on this topic and we will continue this discussion with you, i think many times, but i want to switch to something else that's happening in the world right now. there's a story that we've been following today. it began with a horrible stabbing. i'm not gonna show you the video, but it's out there. it happened in a church in australia. it was caught on video. apparently it was done by
7:57 am
a group of really sick kids. 1715 to 17 years old. they're part of this network in australia of all places. that includes a boy who went into a church and stabbed the bishop while he was giving his homily or his sermon. 2 in sydney, australia last week were clipped of his stabbing were then taken from the churches, services live stream, and they were put on twitter on x and the, and the video cause protests and disturbances and a lot of people are very upset about this. therefore, australia and. busy he said, we're going to take it down. well that made the guy who owns twitter, you on mosque really angry. and he accused the australian government of trying to make decisions for the entire world. how dare you take down my video. well, that didn't sit well with australia as prime minister, who now came up this morning and said this about the lawn. busk the slow. this guy is showing he's arrogant, sees a 1000000000 a either there in the, you know, the side see thing, sees above astray in law. this is an event sent to ship. it's about common sense
7:58 am
and common decency. and a to a mosque should show some 30 seconds left in the show. but i was wondering, jeff, if you had an opinion about this whole social media thing that's breaking out all over and it's not really a, you know, my, my thing. but, you know, as look as a professor and as someone who really thinks that critical analysis is really important, you know, it's a problem trying to put everything into a sound bite and i even find on social media that people on the left. yeah. are beginning to buy into conspiracy theories, so i'm really afraid of it as a danger to critical thinking and reading and thinking through issues. and it becomes an easy slogan, the kind of a thing. and i think that's a danger to progressive, some liberals and, and, and left is as well as to everybody else. good point. and that's why we, we need to figure it out. and i'm not sure we have, and i think this argument between mosque and the prime minister of australia
7:59 am
pointed out, it's been a pleasure talking to mr. help her. i can't wait to get you back. it's a good conversation. thank you, sir. before we go, i want to remind you of our mission here. simple. obviously we, we, we try not to live in little boxes, you know, where people think go, i'm in this box and i have to think this way. no, you don't choose don't live in boxes. i needed to wait the shows called direct impact and i'm rick sanchez and we'll look for you again soon. the,
8:00 am
the more strikes and even more that i made on the is there any attack on the refugee tab in gaza while in the us, the suffering of innocent policy, an interesting exploited to batch political opponents and school pines? i'm on the popular mission. just push our compatriots are outraged when they see young, ukrainian men in hotels and cafe is they constantly hear about how much effort we have to make to help you crane pulled on this ready to a deport ukrainians to be sent to the front line. that's key of steps up. it's harmful kind of further down investigation reveals the west of the food conglomerates. and lastly, pushes, sugar packed, completed the formulas in developing nations while offering.
