Telegram CEO Pavel Durov arrested, Western censorship bias in full force

On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez takes a look at the recent arrest in France of billionaire and CEO/founder of Telegram Pavel Durov. The Russian national was arrested over the weekend over cybercrime allegations. Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski is rumored to have fled the EU, fearing what happened to Durov. So why is the EU and the West – the so-called beacons of free speech – arresting and persecuting free speech advocates and companies? Does this represent a real concern with ‘cybercrime’ or is it a crackdown on speech that Western nations don’t approve of? Also, Kamala Harris vows to make the US military more “lethal” than ever, as RFK Jr. and Donald Trump join forces. Rick is joined by veteran war correspondent and journalist Elijah Magnier to analyze all of this and more. Don’t miss it!
