On this episode of Direct Impact Rick Sanchez looks at a recent address by House Speaker Mike Johnson at Columbia University.
In his speech, Johnson lambasted student protestors gathering against what they call a genocide in Gaza, calling the students lazy, and arguing that they support the slaughter of Israelis.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in China in a push to sever Sino-Russian ties, as Ukraine and the West struggle to come to terms with Russia’s overwhelming military superiority in the conflict.
Rick is joined by academic and author George Szamuely.
