On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez takes on US House Speaker Mike Johnson yet again. Correspondent Manila Chan joins the show to discuss recent comments by Johnson that freedom of speech is essentially secondary to the feelings and perceived danger Jewish students at American universities are experiencing. Rick and Manila also discuss Howard Stern’s sycophantic interview with US President Joe Biden and controversy surrounding Kristi Noem’s recent tell-all book where she describes shooting animals on a farm. Later on, Rick is joined by Palestinian journalist Tarek Hajjaj to describe the horrors taking place in Gaza, and in particular Rafah, with the beginning of the Israeli siege there.
