The world's most molar podcast, but what do I mean by that?
Do I mean that we're the podcast that best measures the chemical weight of substances,
or do I mean that we take Israeli propaganda and bite on it with our motherfucking back teeth?
Ah, you decide.
Yeah, it could be either.
Each way it sounds awesome, and thank you for listening.

I will be your world's most moral or molar co-host for this podcast.
I'm Daniel Matte, your other world's most molar moral podcast.
guest host. I think the YouTube numbers are coming along nicely.
They're coming along strong. It's an upward trend.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's going up. The number goes up when we feel good. And each time it
does go up at the rate it's going, I forget what number it was at currently. And I go,
why so little? But I have to remember, more than last time. More than last time.
more than last time, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you all for being here
and shout out to producer Adam Levin,
who is always on the ones and twos,
hitting us with all sorts of lower thirds
and editing and all this stuff that he does.
Please, if you are someone who likes shirts,
we do have some merch from the designs
that we were selling over at our New York

They are available at bedhasbarra.com.

Then you can still get yourself one of those nice shirts that we made over
for all the wonderful people in New York.
The quantities are limited.
So get them before they run out, y'all.

Gee, Daniel, what is the spin?
Supplemental spin to start off, last episode, our Friday recorded Patreon episode,
I featured songs and bands with the word spin in the name.
That's right.
I said at the time, I don't have the seminal song spinning wheel by Blood, Sweat, and Tears.
Well, just yesterday I was upstate in Peakskill, excuse me.
Peak Skill.
Peak Skill, New York, home of what 80s sitcom, featuring four.
lovely young ladies.
Golden girls. No, younger
than that. Facts of life.
Facts of life. Okay, all right.
I had a big crush on all four of them,
including the Jewish Mindy Kohn.
Anyway, I'm in a little used
bookshop cafe, and
look what I find, blood sweat and tears.
Look at that. Their eponymous
album with spinning wheel on it.
What's that? I'm just thinking about,
is this also going to be more spins, or
you got a... No, no, no, that's just the one.
Okay, okay, okay, got it, got it, got it.
Just like I found you spend me around the day before we recorded.
I found this a couple of days after we record it.
I love it.
And then yesterday was the induction ceremony into the rock and roll Hall of Fame.
So I got some new inductees.
Congratulations to all the inductees.
I feel like Nardweir for us for a reason.
Congratulations to all the inductees.
I am the human serviette.
I love that guy.
He's amazing.
Vancouver based, man.
He's a Vancouver boy.
So some congratulations.
are in order to the inductees.
I've got Cindy Lopper behind me,
but we already featured her
in a previous What's the Spin?
So I've got Outcast with Speakerbox,
The Love Below, an album that until I copped it recently,
I was remembering as kind of,
I don't love Hayah, I don't like roses very much.
But damn, it's pretty damn good.
And I was always disappointed that they, like,
split into two albums and didn't, like,
and that Andre doesn't rap so much
and that they're not so much on each other's stuff.
It made me sad.
Yeah.
But in retrospect, I really respect the move.
I mean, you know, look at you and me.
Imagine us going solo at this point.
It takes courage.
Yeah.
And honestly, it's like, staying together is always better than breaking apart.
That's what I always say.
You don't need solo affirmation of your own genius.
You know who agrees with you?
Art Garfunkel agrees with you.
Yes.
And that's always the question.
Who is the Art Garfunkel?
And it's either that or who is the Salieri?
that's right you know and adam says we should stay together for the kids by which he means the producer
uh joe cocker was inducted um here's an eponymous album with an exclamation mark um sound garden
my boys from seattle were inducted this is their their sort of debut full-length album ultramega okay
look how young they were look at this shit let me see a young chris corn now oh my god
beautiful i just let me get yeah chris looks fucking he looks great
what a great band yep i'm more of a super unknown it's the album i put on
probably most of everything they do yeah for me it's bad motor finger but yeah people like bad
motor finger i've always yeah it's like super unknown's great uh the white stripes apparently
were inducted wow kind of early i think i mean jack white was there it is kind of early right
Yeah, Adam is saying that, yes, they were indeed inducted, but that does seem a little, I'm just saying.
It's a little premature.
I don't disagree.
They're going to get it anyways, but it's like Soundgarden just got inducted and you're putting in the white trail?
What are we doing?
I agree with you.
Thank you for that.
The Gen Xer and me appreciates your solidarity.
And finally, Warren Zvon was given some kind of special induction places, some kind of special category.
So here's his eponymous album from the 70s.
I love it.
That's the spin.
Congratulations to all those Hall of Famers.
That's right.
Congrats to all of you out there who I know are all listeners of the Bad Has Barrow
podcasts except for the ones who are dead.
This is a very special episode.
It's not really a very special episode.
This is a guestless episode.
It's just me and Daniel this week.
This week we said, fuck it.
We're doing it on our own.
We don't need anybody else.
It's how we started.
out that's right that's right we were just a duo we were like the white stripes yes we're exactly
like the white and what happened to them they broke up they reformed into some you know recontours bullshit
nobody likes that and jack white's like like oh i'm going to do you know i don't know country songs
with that one lady and it's just like me what do you need all this for stop where's me
exploring artistically just be the thing that your brand wants you to be that's what i say
Be what you always were.
Yes, never change.
Never change.
That's what I always say.
Do not grow, do not learn, do not express.
And that's what we hope to do this week.
Just the two of us rocking and rolling.
And we have just a boatload of content.
I mean, so much has happened in the last, not even just the last week,
but the last few days since the episode we recorded on Friday.
It's, I don't know why.
I thought this Daniel, but there was part of me that was like, after Mamdani wins, then what are all of these, you know, Hasbaris going to do? I mean, they really went all in on Islamophobia, like post-9-11 Islamophobia. Are they just going to be like, oh, well, time to go to Chili's, you need a fucking, like, are they going to, what are they going to do with themselves? They can't, like, who has the energy to keep this kind of Islamophobia?
a lot of people apparently yeah as it turns out um they are really just go they're like
they're just getting started i i was shocked by it and i guess i shouldn't have been but there was
part of me that was like these guys you know can't keep this type of hate going for this long
it's it just seems so cynical and you know it was used for such a specific purpose but they have
not stopped. They're still going. I want to start with something that happened just before the
debate or sorry, excuse me, before the election, before the election happened on the day of the
election, Bill Ackman, billionaire, Zoron Hater, person who likes to get the president of Harvard
fired Zionist. You know what's hilarious about Bill Ackman's name? What? You remember the
the cartoon Bloom County?
I don't think so.
And Outland.
So it was a cartoon from like the late 70s and into the 80s and 90s.
It was in all the papers.
And it had a lot of, you know, it was kind of, it was very absurdist.
It was around the same time as Dunesbury.
Anyway.
Oh, oh, it was a comic book, like a comic strip from the, from the paper.
When I say cartoon, I mean like a comic strip in the papers, you know.
And there's a character.
named Bill the cat who's this tweaked out feline who's just zonked out on drugs all the time
and his catchphrase is ac oh interesting bill ac man i like because my in terms of like comic strips
strips and the word act i think of kathy yes that's true like i feel like kathy to me was queen
queen of act she was queen of act it's true now we have a new queen and or king of act and it's
Bill, Bill Ackman, who said Ack when Mom Donnie won the election before he was fairly confident,
or at least he was trying to manifest confidence in the fact that, you know, that Andrew Cuomo would win,
so it would all be a dream.
Yes, it turns out if you will, it sometimes it remains a dream.
And so he wrote this like screed beforehand that, I mean, I don't even know if we can do this on YouTube, but let's read a little bit of it.
He wrote, supposedly an unprecedented 2.2 million turnout with 60% above 45 years old.
I am going to be an optimist and say Andrew Cuomo is going to get the win.
If he fails to win, it's because Curtis Slewa cares more about himself than NYC.
Let's never forget that.
Optimism fail.
You're up, like, that's not what optimists do.
Yeah, I know.
I'm going to be an optimist and say that I really believe that my preferred outcome will be,
but if it doesn't happen, it's this guy's fault.
I'm going to be an optimist and hedge right in front of you and hope you don't notice.
Yeah. And also, just need I remind our.
audience, that Zoran Mamdani won 50.4% of the vote, meaning that he has a majority, meaning
that all of the other candidates combined, not just Sliwa, but everyone else who is running,
still wouldn't have made a difference because...
That's communist math, man.
I'm sorry, I did communist math.
But yeah, so he wrote that, and then he goes, if Andrew wins, he is going to be a great mayor.
Why?
because he will owe nothing to the Democratic Party
and he will be working only for his legacy.
In what world would he owe nothing to the Democratic Party?
He means to the people who are registered Democrats
who didn't vote for him in the primary.
Because the party itself,
I've never seen a party so reluctant
to back the person who won,
under their party ticket.
Yeah, he will owe nothing to the Democratic base.
Right, exactly.
He will owe nothing to the majority of voters
in the city of New York, which is, I mean,
what else is a mark of a great mayor than that?
He said he can therefore-
And that's Ackman's fantasy and probably Cuomo's too,
owing nothing to working people,
owing nothing to, you know,
the people that you have toiled to pretend to represent for so long.
Yes. Yes. I mean, and to be honest, it's the way that they act. This is all they do is they go, I owe you nothing. I will, you know, impose my will upon these people.
Did you see Kathy Hokel's speech? I don't know where she was.
Sorry.
Act, yeah.
The other act.
Was she in Puerto Rico or something? And people were chanting like, we want democracy. We want rights. And she's like, well, you know, the more you bug me for something, the last.
I want to give it.
It was insane.
She literally said, you know, the more you yell at me about this, the less likely I am to do it.
And it's just like, okay, so first of all, this is something that we have all understood
at a very deep level about politicians in general, is that they are not actually working
for the people.
In fact, they run mostly on spite and lobbyist money.
So you don't have to say out loud the part we already know.
And they see voters as needy children.
Yes.
Except they don't even have the like parental heart to like love their children and want to see their needs is legitimate.
Yeah.
Just evil, brolds doll parents.
It's really bad, bad parents is what it is.
Yeah.
And yeah, you know, so it's like this whole idea that Cuomo would.
owe everyone nothing is very
specific. It's like he's framing
it in a way as if it's some sort of like
anti-establishment thing. But the person
who actually owes nothing to the party
leadership is Zoran
since they dragged their feet
in terms of actually endorsing him
and some even didn't.
Straight up Chuck Schumer would not
reveal who he voted for.
I mean, come on.
It is wild. I mean,
Pete Buttigieg says
is basically a no comment.
Pete, Mayor Pete, by the way, is famous because he too won a mayorship with 8,000 votes.
Not, he didn't have a lead of 8,000.
I mean, his vote count to be mayor of South Bend, Indiana was 8,000 plus voters voted for him.
El raton.
He became a national figure on that.
Did you say el raton?
That's what I called him, El raton.
Oh, man, it's crazy.
how he remains a rat never change um so uh then bill acman wrote at real donald trump i'm going to
want to work with quomo to make new york great again don't trump is going to want to work with
oh yeah donald trump is going to want to work with quomo to make new york great again
m n y g a say many g a many g a many guys
Yes.
M and Y.
I don't even want to say the phonet.
First of all, why is he doing it phonetically?
Why is he doing it when he?
Adam's like, cut, edit, edit, edit.
No, come on, come on.
Many guns say that this was totally fine to say it.
Yeah, yeah.
If you're really many, way to beat.
If you do it fast, I literally will get demonetized.
I've never seen such a botched attempt at making like a slogan, especially since it's like Bill
Ackman, who is like a purported like, I'm a Democrat, I'm a liberal, his entire thing is that.
And then he's just like, oh, my bad, my brain immediately did a racial slur.
And then he, rather than editing it, his life.
Like, actually, let me go in and be like, there's another way to say it.
Don't worry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just in case you didn't get the racial undertones of this.
Here's how you do it.
Hey, everyone.
I was just almost racist.
That's called Democratic virtue.
Oh, God.
How do you fuck that up?
I don't, I don't know.
I think the president and Cuomo respect each other, which increases the chances they will work
together. We will know by 9.30 p.m. say a prayer. I respect each other. You know,
it's a mark of respect is when you are running for public office and the president wants you to
win because he's holding a federal indictment over your head. And he knows he can, yeah,
he knows he can control you. Trump, famous respecter of people and things. Yeah, I mean,
Man, I, I'm just trying to think of what the situation would have been had Cuomo actually won, you know, like, you thought shit was bad during Eric Adams tenure with him having to fucking, like, grovel straight to Trump.
Get me out of this, man.
Especially with Cuomo developing a taste for AI as the campaign wound down.
Yeah.
The education curriculum in this city, the sub.
Subway PSAs, it would have been, the billboards in Times Square, it would have become insufferable.
Yeah, more insufferable than it already is.
Yes.
Yeah, I mean.
Speaking of subway PSAs, I'm sorry.
I was riding the train last week, and I saw it was an anti-ageism ad.
It was like an elderly Asian gentleman in a sculpture studio or something.
And he's like, when you judge me based on my age, that's ageism.
And then like some slogan like, New Yorkers all deserve your respect or something like that.
I'm like, even the decrepit ones.
Please don't judge me on my age.
Judge me on my race.
Like, imagining.
Don't judge me based on whether I fit in the demographic that Andrew Cuomo would willingly
blood sacrifice to the gods of pandemic.
Yeah, you know, it's interesting that they didn't call it the ageism and the fact that
he was very specifically killing old people in those homes.
But the thing that occurred to me is that old people don't use the term ageism.
No, they would think, that's wolf garbage.
I mean, I have been yelled at by people for ageism, but it's only when I,
was talking very honestly about what Joe Biden was,
which was like old and sundowning.
And we definitely got a few emails just be like,
how dare you?
Old people, you know, we are the backbone of society.
And I'm like, have you seen your backbone?
When's the last time you really looked at?
And here's the thing.
I think, listen, age, obviously, you know,
for some people, they age worse than others.
And some people are, I mean, Trump versus Biden, you know, similar ages.
And one is in a, obviously in a state of, you know, decrepitude that made them not be able to finish a sentence during a debate.
So they had to drop out.
Yeah.
And the other one can finish sentences.
The sentences don't make sense.
Yeah.
Sentences, but they sound right.
They start and end in different time zones.
But, yeah.
Of course.
But the point is.
Cuomo would have been truly a bulwark against ageism
because he is a staunch anti-ageist activist.
Specifically, we're talking about the age of consent.
That's right.
That's right.
With him very specifically, he's like,
as I've always said, age is nothing but a number.
In Italy, we say it differently.
Speaking of which, I recently saw this on Twitter,
And I couldn't believe it because I was like, this, this can't be real.
It just was too obvious.
But have you seen the tweet that the state of Israel's Twitter account did?
No.
Okay.
Hold on.
Look at this.
This is a real tweet that they put out.
And it was
2022, so I think there was
it was less of a chance that
I don't know, people would tie that to other things.
What did it say for our listeners?
Oh, for our listeners, it says, from at Israel,
age is just a number, kissy face emoji.
Of all accounts,
to be quoting the great Arkele.
I assume.
I just don't.
I assume, here's the thing.
It was replying to something else.
That reply has since been deleted.
So what it was replying to, obviously,
I don't know.
I assume the question they're responding to is,
what are your thoughts on Jeffrey Epstein?
And they gave a very, very simple response there.
But man, I,
sometimes I think that the internet is trying to trick me
that sometimes I always make sure I'm like
is this something that like some right wing
like anti-Semitic account is putting out there
just to get people to bite
and then I'll like do my research
and I'm like no that's real
you know how
I'm surprised at the height of the genocide
they didn't take you know
the death figures.
It'd be like 74,562 is just a number.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, ain't nothing.
Death count ain't nothing but a number.
A lot of things are just numbers.
Ain't nothing but a number.
That's ain't nothing but a number is the national motto of Israel.
So, you know, let's update our records accordingly.
So, yeah, Bill Ackman, psychopath, whatever, whatever, we know.
this, but also since
the win of
Zoran Mandani, first he came out with a tweet
that was like, congratulations to Zoran Mamdani.
I, of course, would like to work with you.
So please reach out, and maybe we can work
together.
We'd love to collab, yo.
Yeah, I love to collab.
Respect your work.
You know, I think, you know, let's
bygones be bygones.
You know, I'll forgive you
for all of the, like, you
winning stuff.
And you can forgive me for
funding a, you know, a multi-hundred thousands of dollar campaign of Islamophobia against you in an
attempt to get you killed. And I think together we can make something great. Like, you know, I can get
into the city hall and plant a bomb. But he immediately, after doing that, started up on what, of course,
is going to be Zoron's next four years, which is putting all.
of the smears that, you know, they had in the campaign and trying to justify them
by continuing to bring them up over and over.
He quote tweeted, friend of the show, not actual friend.
What's his name?
Rabbi, what is it, Ami Hirsch?
Yeah, Ami Hirsch.
Yeah, Stern Summer Camp Counselor of the pod.
Yes, you know him from this.
Disappointed dad.
You're emotionally damaged, Jewishly.
You know him from this.
We wanted you to be Zionists.
It's that guy.
And he went on like a little rant during one of his, one of the services.
I don't know what his synagogue is in New York, but my assumption is that it is like, is, you know, not as conservative as you would expect based on his views.
but yet, yeah, he went on to talk about his fear.
He's solidly reformed.
Yeah, I mean, you look at him and I'm like, this is a reform guy.
Yeah.
That's what I see.
And it is just so wild how even the reform guys are racist now.
Oh, they always were.
My rabbi as a kid was, we went to a reform synagogue, and he would talk about Palestinian tree terrorism.
wait what what's Palestinian tree terrorism I don't know the scourge of
Palestinian setting fire to individual like Douglas fir trees and the JNF forest I love the
idea that they're like literally planting trees that should not be there because it is a
desert and they will burn quickly and they're just like Palestinians every time there's a
natural forest fire from their unnatural planting.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, listen, reform, obviously, Zionism has always had the undercurrent of racism,
even, you know, pre-October 7th, of course.
But people were very careful to sound as inclusive as possible.
There was always kind of this idea of, like, you know, Zionism and or Israel being
complicated and being kind of
intractable but I have
optimism that will get through this
the amount of
open racism now is so
intense that I am like
I'm still shocked by it
to this day and
here he is
speaking to the fam
and
talking about Zoran
Mamdani. I met the mayor
elect in late August
after the primaries as the
meeting unfolded our mood steadily darkened and our fear steadily darkened
darker than the skin of the man who would be made the pigment of our emotions
began to stoop to his level the uh the the feelings i had were as it was
as if the melanin had increased
in the heaviness of the room
and our fears.
It's as if my emotions were looking in the mirror.
Increased.
Zoran Mamdani is an ideologically
committed, dogmatic
opponent. So glad Maddick
came after there. For a second,
we all went, uh-oh.
Just, just
very committed.
dog dog what maddie oh fuck thank god of the zionist idea hooray he sounds great to me sick and also i love
he's an opponent of the zionist idea right yeah just the idea of it yeah well these people always want to
pretend like zionism is still an idea right yeah as if zionism is not currently uh just being played
out before our very eyes they're like no no no no no idea never heard anybody right exactly
when it was an idea.
Zionist idea is just, you know, just a couple of people in a park talking about self-determination.
Like, yeah, the Zionist idea is a, you know, well, what Zionism means to me is when everybody is friends.
The Zionist idea is just words on a paper.
Like this.
I had an idea yesterday about being the many-cocked king of the world getting serviced by a representative, an elected representative from every single country.
I love that.
Yes.
No harm done?
Yeah.
That is a fun theory.
An idea that we all had.
Now, had you actually achieved the status of the many cock king of the world, having your penis tentacles in and around every son.
And then, obviously, we would have a different thing to talk about here.
And you'd have a different job.
That's right.
Because I'd be nominating you.
That's right. Oh, no. I'm happy to serve my country.
Not simply a critic of Israel.
Policy differences are central to democratic discourse and entirely legitimate.
Oh, my dear God. Do you have policy differences with Putin's Russia?
I mean, right, right.
Or are you on one, or you might you be opposed to the whole thing? Is it, is it okay sometimes to say, hey, that, that,
countries out of pocket, out of line, and out of bounds. I mean, I had policy differences with
the apartheid state of South Africa. A lot of people did. That is the policy that they hated.
Yeah, yeah. The policy was apartheid. That's right. The policy was who they were.
Right. Just this idea of just like, I mean, and they all fucking do it. And it's like the mark, I think,
of either a, like, a liberal Jewish institution or a reformed synagogue, which is that you have
to make it clear that, of course, I make room. Of course, there should always be room for disagreements
about the policies within Israel. But, and then the but is always fucking just every single policy
that is being, is being disagreed with. Well, right. And he also, he like, he wants Zoran to act like,
I don't know, like a leftist member of the Israeli Labor Party.
He wants him to be a member of Knesset.
Yes, yes, yes.
You know, like, get inside the fold of the existing regime.
Right.
And then criticize the policy.
Right.
You have to...
We should allocate more money for bus service to the north or whatever.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I mean, it is always a question of, you know,
what policy specifically are being targeted.
And if those policies are the ones that are affecting the human rights of Palestinians, they're just like, well, what are you?
Some sort of Hamas guy?
Yeah.
If you talk about like, hey, we've, you know, Jerusalem has a severe stray cat problem, then no problem.
Everyone's cool with that.
So, by the way.
But may be like, I really love the way you say the word room.
Well, how do I say?
Room.
Well, I mean, that's how it's pronounced.
I know a lot.
I think there must be a regional divide, even within the United States.
I'd love to know what it is.
But I always notice it.
Sometimes I have been accused on occasion of talking Jewishly.
Do you say roof?
I think I say roof, roof.
Roof, but room.
I don't know.
The thing is, when you ask me.
Right.
It's not conscious.
Like roof.
I definitely don't say roof.
I say roof.
Roof.
I don't say rough.
I'm not a dog.
You're not a dog, mattock opponent of the Zionist idea.
Exactly, dog.
No.
All right, let's go on.
Donnie does not believe in coexistence.
He does not believe in two states for two peoples.
Okay, coexistence, two states for two peoples is not coexistence.
By definition, it is not coexistence.
That's right.
Unless your definition of coexistence is that everyone gets their own little ethno.
state. That is not coexistence.
This unbelievable
like fucking backpedaling
where you're going back to fucking two state
solutionism as some sort of like
peacnick position
to hold. If only there were
a word for things that are kept apart, yes.
Unless your parents sleep in separate bedrooms
their marriage is
failed. There's no coexistence.
They haven't learned how to live together
if they're not living separately.
Yes. I'm sorry, but like
what are we fucking doing here
he's just like
we're still
talking about a two state solution
as a solution
which this guy never believed it
like that's the thing
they'll drag out the fucking
weekend at Bernie's corpse
of the two state solution
anytime they want to
play the steel drums
and it'll do the dance
right exactly
that's from Weekend of Bernie's 2
which is the only weekend of Bernie
I'd ever seen for many many years
so I thought it was a movie
the original weekend of Bernie's right to exist?
I recognize its right to exist.
It's just one existed before.
And as someone who only saw Weekend at Bernie's 2 for years,
I thought the whole series was about steel drums
make people dance, even dead people.
But go on, please.
But yeah.
Oh, I'm just saying they'll just card out this carcass.
Now, that's an idea.
You want to talk about ideas?
The two-state solution idea at this point.
That's all it is.
a moribund idea
and they'll cart it out and they'll dress
themselves up in it and be like
I'm the reasonable one
I believe in this this guy doesn't even believe
in it
and fuck you
the state that you're
catering to has done everything
possible to eliminate that as even a
possibility I mean the current
prime minister of the state you were currently
caping for
has stated on record
how proud he is of personally killing the
two-state solution. So you're going to, you're going to stand up there and talk about the two-state
solution as if it is the policy of the state of Israel, as if it's something they've ever
sought to achieve in any, like, full, meaningful sense. And you're going to be mad at Zoramandani
because he's just like, no, I'm not a two-state solution guy. Look, we can disagree on policy,
man. You can disagree with the entire Israeli political spectrum that Palestinian sovereignty is
is an unacceptable affront that they have to destroy by any means.
But don't oppose the state itself.
I love that.
He's saying you can disagree with the policy,
and he's pointing out something in which he doesn't fully know he's disagreeing
with the policy of the state of Israel.
You are doing it now.
And then by that very definition, I'm sorry, you, Rabbi Hirsch, are an anti-Semite.
That's what you are, because you are sitting here,
disagreeing with a policy that is agreed upon by whatever, 99% of the citizens of Israel.
How dare you, sir?
How dare you?
His opposition to Israel is existential.
He believes that Israel has no right to exist at all as a Jewish state in any territory.
We can't even have a little bit of ethno state.
Not even a small, small corner somewhere in Tel Aviv.
Come on, man.
Any territory?
I mean, is Tatooine an option?
I mean, if you're so into deserts.
Yeah.
Or what about like somewhere in the virtual space?
Like, I don't know, go to one of those like, you know, VR cafes and you can have a little, you know, virtual world in meta.
And you and everyone you know who is a fucking.
Like, Zionist psychopath can have your own...
I mean, what is...
The world of snorcraft.
Yeah.
Snorcraft.
Very good.
Yeah.
I mean, what he's doing there is just so, it's so fucking disingenuous.
Like, this yelling about, he does not believe in the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state.
He explained perfectly well why the right to exist as a Jewish state was not, was, you know, antithetical to the right to
exist as a state of equal rights for all.
And there's nothing that's more infuriating than that for a lot of these guys, because
he puts it right in their face.
What does a Jewish state mean?
Well, to the reality, what it means is a state in which you maintain an ethno,
ethnic majority for Jewish people by any means necessary.
And that's bad.
It is the only reality.
It's bad.
That's bad.
And those states are bad, okay?
Jiam Hamas,
Hezvalah,
Iran,
and their supporters in the West.
Yeah, it is,
he's basically Hamas.
He's basically Hamas because of this.
I just want to point out,
Ackman,
before quote-tweeting that
and telling Zoranam Dani
to listen to this, you know,
dear, dear rabbi, calling him Hamas.
This reasonable man who's trying to appeal to his better angels.
Yes.
First, he was just like, well, trying to make a hashtag racial slur didn't work.
So congratulations to Zoran.
I hope to work together in the future.
By the way, you're Hamas.
It is, I mean, it's truly telling us to what the next, you know, few years are going to be like for Zoran.
He's going to be attacked by so many of these fucking, like, zombie.
institutions that have, you know, existed at one point to maybe do something else and now
exist purely for the sake of promoting Israel.
Zayambi, Zionbe, Zayombe, Zayombe, eh, eh, what's in your head?
That is, that is beautiful.
But yeah, we have a, many, many things to go that I want to continue talking about.
In terms of like this mom-dani pushback that he's going to get, he, of course, is still getting pushed back from Greenblatt.
And I want to talk about that.
But first, we do need to take a little bit of a break.
So everyone, please stick around.
We will be right back.
And we're back as Bad As Barra, the world's most moral podcast here with my co-host, Daniel Mote.
How you doing, Daniel?
I'm doing good, man.
This brings me back to the good old days.
Yeah, remember when it was just us,
and we didn't have to, like, text people, like,
hey, you want to do the show?
Or, hey, remember, you said you were going to do the show.
Yeah, or, hey, we're here and stuff, but it's cool if you don't.
We'll wait another half an hour.
No, you're busy.
I get it.
I get it.
I get it.
I just, doesn't matter what I prepared.
The point is,
sometimes when I need a good cheer up,
I go back and I look at the comments
on our first few episodes together.
Oh, really?
So many people have gone in there and been like,
I remember this and this was, you know,
I thought you guys belonged together.
I knew it.
And then, you know, back in the day,
there were comments being like,
bring Daniel Lone as a co-host,
you guys have great chemistry.
Yeah.
It's just, yeah.
Yeah, it's a nice throwback.
It's nice to go back an old comment section
and remember what we were like
when we were younger and more innocent.
That's right.
Before we had become fully homophized.
Yeah, back when the title of the show was
Not bad, Hasbara
It was not bad
Not bad
I wrote a humble email and said
I am producer, that's true
And it's weird
How well that works
All you have to do is be like
Hey, I'm here now
And I go, okay
And God, I really looked out
With both of you
You guys are both two wonderful, wonderful people
Well, you know
While no one's here
It's just us
We can all just sit here and go like
Fuck yeah dude
Dopamine, serotonin.
It feels good, man.
But before we move on with more content,
I was going to talk about Greenblatt,
but I wanted to play something first.
This is just a little update.
Daniel, I don't know if you've seen this.
But, you know, I always feel like I've seen Daniel Ryan Spalding's final form.
No way.
There's more.
Oh, yeah.
this is this is i think this is final form i don't know but you got to see this video that he went out
this is daniel ryan spalling is back baby hold on let me pour myself a cool glass of rein spalding
oh yes enjoy it uh because he's had a few as well when you're a power gay in israel you take
your mission seriously because when you have big strong idea of soldiers like this
Okay, so for those you who are just listening and not hearing,
he is now in full-on flak jacket IDF gear that he is wearing.
He is incredibly inebriated.
He sounds like he's had his jaw wired together.
He sounds like he's had like a series of mini strokes.
And he's like seeing him in full IDF regalia is like,
is the next version of this,
him being.
killed by
Hamas, like him
going into fucking Gaza
and getting, you know, one of those
like, we're going to see one of those
upside down yellow
or red triangle videos with him in it, man.
Well, yeah, but then that wouldn't even
even that wouldn't be his final form.
They'd turn him into like robo-shill.
You know, they would like,
they would outfit him like Peter Weller and, uh,
we have, we have created a chatbot
that mirrors his exact speech pattern
So he, you can talk to Daniel I in Spaulding whenever you want.
Just be like, hi, Daniel, I in Spaulding.
And he'll be like, hi, I'm gay.
I will suck your Jewish dick.
That is, you really got to hand it to him.
He certainly is living some sort of dream.
I just don't know why.
You need to commend them and support.
You big manly sexy heroes, each and every one of you.
The whole Western world thanks you.
We love you, saving Western civilization in this holy Jewish nation.
We love you so much.
Oh my God, what's your name?
Yerjab.
And what's your name?
I'm sorry, his name is Yairjab.
That's Hebrew for a vaccine.
Did you get the jab?
Zav Vakino Tinsky.
Was a prominent scientist leader.
That was very good.
That was very good.
And what's your name?
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
I got a little overwhelmed here.
He had a lot of the guy.
I'm never leaving.
I'm never leaving.
I'm never leaving.
We know, we know.
Enjoy your time out there, Daniel Ryan Spalding.
Enjoy your kosher paupers.
Uh-huh.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
I love it.
I love that.
Man, I've just, something about his journey is just so fascinating to me.
It's going to be one of the great documentaries that comes out eventually once everyone realizes how insane people went during this era.
Um, we got to talk about green blat because, uh, this story, when, when the blad is green,
the trap is clean.
That's very good, very good.
Ghostbusters shout out.
Uh, that's another old school thing.
Remember every episode, every single of the first 20 or 30 I did with you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To be a ghostbuster reference.
You loved it.
You loved to do Ghostbusters.
I've lost my touch.
No, you're still great at Ghostbusters references.
It's just sometimes you got to like set them aside, you know?
It's true.
To reference other things.
Like South Park or Glingery, Glenn Rosser.
Exactly.
Other atypical fascinations for men of my age.
That's right.
So we talked about on Friday how Greenblatt went on the, and he's the head of the ADL,
he went on Morning Joe and proceeded to get grilled after, you know, going on there and very uncharitably talking about Zoron.
And I say that.
that's a very charitable fucking description of what he was doing.
He went on there and basically insinuated that Zoron would be okay with the fire bombings
of random Jewish people in the United States.
He would be okay with, you know, the murder of Jews on the street.
I mean, he was...
And then when Joe and Mika were like, come on, are you really saying he would be okay
with those things?
Greenblatt's answer over and over again was, you'd have to ask him.
have to ask him.
I don't know what he believes,
but I have a pretty good idea.
All I did was put words in his mouth.
You'd have to ask them how they taste.
Yeah.
And, you know, he,
it was the first time I think I've ever seen him get pushback.
I mean,
especially from like Morning Joe,
but in general,
he's someone who goes on
and is able to spout the same fucking
his bar that he always does.
In fact,
I watched a video of him on Brian Kilmead recently
in which later on he went on Twitter and made the exact same points.
And I realized, like, oh, which video am I going to play for this show?
I realized the Kill Mead piece was useless because he allowed him to just speak on it uninterrupted.
You know, and to me, that is like usually how he is treated.
Jonathan Greenblatt has been someone who has been allowed essentially carte blanche.
And the entire ADL has been allowed to...
He's been given the green blight.
Yeah, he's been given the green blight to go on fucking TV and speak uninterrupted, a bunch of nonsense.
And he got pushed back on Morning Joe.
He also, for the first time I think I've ever seen, got pushed back from the New York Times.
What?
What?
I know.
And so we're going to read a little bit of that right now.
Daniel, do you want to do the honors?
Sure.
Anti-Defamation League creates anti-semitism tip line focused on Mamdani.
The group, which has taken aim at Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani over his criticism of Israel,
is facing backlash after unveiling a website where New Yorkers could report incidents of anti-Semitism.
In an interview, Mr. Greenblatt said,
the ADL's website and tip line were, quote, not designed to criticize the mayor,
but were instead, quote, a data-driven approach that simply looks at the facts.
there is nothing inherently combative or critical about that he said yeah it's just called the
mandani monitor and it's just the logo is simply a crosshairs over his face his digitally darkened
face nothing wrong it said the monitor would be what was the very data-driven party
in germany circa 1939 good question adam let's get our history buffs on that one
one.
Hey, Grock.
Grock!
It said the monitor would be fed, in part, by reports that came in through a new tip
line that it said, I like the it said being twice in the same sentence, New Yorkers
could use to, quote, report anti-Semitic incidents in the cities, including on the
streets, in schools, in their workplace.
Mr. Greenblatt dismissed the notion that his organization was applying a different
standard to Mr. Mumdani and Mr. Trump, whom the ADL is
criticized at various points during his first and second administrations.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
Various points.
Mr. Greenblatt cited, but he described as Mr. Mandani's unique record of hostility
toward Israel as one reason to focus a monitoring initiative on the mayor-elect and not the
principal.
Not the president.
No, the president.
President, sorry.
Yeah.
President.
We don't, this country doesn't have a principle, right?
No, not anymore.
That's Canada.
We killed the principal.
That's right.
And yet liberals continue to act like there is one.
Yeah, exactly.
The reality is President Trump wasn't elected on a track record that included a long
animus to the Jewish state, he said.
No, maybe not, but a long track record of animus towards the Jewish person?
Yes.
Yes.
I love this idea that they're like just straight up.
saying, well, listen, President Trump was somebody who loves Israel.
So he can literally be at Charlottesville saying there's good people on both sides.
He can literally call a Jew any slur he wants, and he's going to be totally fine.
We don't need to monitor that.
Nothing to monitor here.
Fucking psychopath.
But the group's attitude has done little to shield it from the ire of conservatives.
who were enraged to discover after the assassination of the activist Charlie Kirk
that the group he founded, Turning Point USA, was included in an ADL database of extremist groups.
Soon after that, the ADL said it would retire the database effective immediately.
The whole database gone because the right-wing psychopaths,
who are Christian, nationalist, fucking anti-Semites, were just like,
hey, hey, hey, buddy, we told you, we love Israel.
What is this doing on here?
So we like stuff that's data driven
unless the data drives us to the wrong place.
Exactly.
I'm giving this Uber data driver
three stars.
Hope you get fired.
So then we skip ahead to where the article is
kind of summing up the
Morning Joe appearance we talked about.
How about you calling his team?
I'm Donnie's team.
Or how about talking to people who may know him and you?
Mr. Scarborough said,
maybe you guys can get together and have lunch and talk.
isn't that a more constructive thing to do let's see if that happens mr greenblatt replied that would be
great look i'm willing to have conversations hard conversations because my job is to keep the community safe
absolutely that's his job we all know if there's one person who makes me feel safe it's jonathan
fucking greenblatt um he got where in the article does it talk about the ire that's being raised
by people like us say
who think it's ridiculous to conflate
anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism
and who see this as a bigoted Islamophobic
prophylactic campaign
to try and neuter an incoming administration.
Like that, at least in the slides we read there
or the sections we read of that article,
I'm not really getting to the heart
of what's so objectionable about this.
It's not just that it's cantankerous
and unfriendly to an administration,
right but that it's caping for a foreign government right and that it is outright hostile to millions of
new yorkers and americans who have quote unquote policy disagreements yeah with regard to this
country's policy of including one third of jewish voters who voted for mondani uh with this in mind uh
I mean, it is, it is, like, clear that what he took umbrage with, what Greenblatt did, at least,
was with the fact that this article has one sentence in which it says, like, you know,
some people think he's going a little too far.
And that's caused an entire freakout from his, on his end.
He went on Twitter, he took to Twitter to talk.
about this and to clarify a few things. So the New York Times just published a whole story on the ADL's response to the election of Zaraan Montaigne to be the next mayor of this city. The entire story focused on the few people they could find who criticized what we're doing rather than objectively examining why we're doing it in the first place. I love the idea of the few people they could find. The few people they could find is a really disingenuous way of framing something in which
I would say a majority of voters voted for Mamdani.
And if you want to talk about whose view here,
I would say it is Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL
and people who share his views.
That's just my opinion.
That's very data-driven.
That's all I can say.
So let me break it down for you.
New York City has the largest Jewish population of any city,
not just in America, but in the world.
And these Jewish New Yorkers, like Jews all over America,
have experienced a torrent of anti-Semitism these last few years.
Just look at these stats that I put out at the ADL.
I love that.
What a position to be in where you could be like, you know,
well, I am, of course, the guy who tracks it.
So, as you can see, it's very red.
Just look at these charts.
My red creola crayon is almost worn all the way down to the nip.
Exactly.
What other proof of it?
do you need?
I had to mix
in other colors at the end there
because I ran out.
Oh my God.
Just look at my own
personal stash of data
that proves the point I'm making
and frames it as scientific.
So against this backdrop,
Zoran Mamdani was elected mayor
earlier this week.
What does that say to you
about your stats?
What does that say to you
about literally your entire worldview here?
Your entire view of
somehow having a mandate
You don't have one.
Maybe adjust.
He's notable to us because a fierce animosity toward the Jewish state has characterized his entire time in public life.
As a state assemblyman in Albany, where he sponsored legislation that would have prohibited New Yorkers for making charitable donations to nonprofits in Israel doing life-saving work.
Okay, so just real quick on this end, he is very specifically talking about.
about this bill, sponsored by Mamdani, and it is Assembly Bill A694A, establishes the quote,
not on our dime, not on our dime ending New York funding of Israeli Settler Violence Act to prohibit.
Not the catchiest name.
No, listen, way too long.
Not on our dime is a good start.
I don't know why they need the subtitle.
But actually, I can kind of guess why, because that part where it says of funding Israeli settler violence is, I don't know, pretty important.
True.
So establishes that act to prohibit not-for-profit corporations from engaging in unauthorized support of Israeli settlement activity.
This is very specific to international law.
This is very specific to following the bounds of international law, in which, yes, you know,
you should not be able to, and in many cases you are not able to, support illegal settlement activity.
Which for decades, U.S. administrations and state departments have at least paid lip service to giving a shit about.
Yes, yes. This is, like, we're living in this fucking world now where people, I think, do not fully understand how normal a lot of this was not that long ago, in which, like, the United States would support Israel in all the ways.
continue to support it, but would make it very clear that their stance, you know, publicly would be
within the realms of international law.
It's not to say- Here's the money unconditionally, and we would really rather you not spend it
on this side of this imaginary line.
Right.
Yes.
And like, the idea of, you know, someone going out and making, you know, assemblymen making a bill
saying like, hey, we want to limit the ability for people to give money to, you know,
the fucking, you know,
Israeli settlers or
organizations where their money
ends up at settlements
or, you know, with
other organizations. I mean, listen,
half of, we talked about
this on Friday, but what he
considers, Jonathan Greenblatt, considers
the Jewish community
are things like,
you know, the
AJC
and...
UJA. Yeah,
yeah, AJA.
the ADL obviously
like for him
all of these organizations
are the institutional
Jewish community and they all have ties
in one way or another
to supporting either the state of Israel
or very specifically the settlements
within
the you know within the West Bank
and so it is
it is weirder
for him to act like it
is normal
the you know for people like he is basing all of this on the assumption that people are like yeah
we we always like illegal settlers but you know obviously that's never that's not been the case
until very recently now he promises to pursue the discriminatory boycott divestment campaign
against Israel and make it impossible for new yorkers to do business with the jewish state so let me
explain discriminatory boy yes yeah discrimination
involves being able to tell one thing from a different thing.
That's called being discriminating.
Yeah, that's right.
I love the definition of discrimination.
Boycott and discrimination is a very funny couple of things to put together.
Because the things that are being boycotted are people who are actively doing racial discrimination.
Right.
And they're just like the idea of it's like, man, it is really, it's like, you know, it's when the Nazis get punched and they go like so much for the,
the tolerant left.
Yeah.
You know, just, oh, it's so insane.
Clearly what we're doing.
First, we launched a tip line.
So if Jewish New Yorkers experience or observe anti-Semitism, they simply tell us so that we can
track it effectively.
We've been doing this work for generations.
Now we're simply taking a hyper-local approach here.
Now we're, we've been doing this work for, since 1913, our establishment.
And now we're simply taking this approach and sort of applying it to one guy.
You know, the way...
Hyper-local, like, the way the bullet that entered Charlie Kirk's neck, entered it hyper-locally.
You know, sometimes, like, you ever go outside on a sunny day and then you just apply sunlight hyper-locally to an ant with a magnifying glass?
where I'm simply doing something that we've always done for generations,
sit out in the sun and enjoy a nice picnic,
but I'm doing it for one guy.
Think globalistically or globalistically, act hyperlocally.
Oh, my God.
Two, we're increasing our research to focus on the people who might get appointed to roles,
to the policies that might get introduced to the people.
programs that might get structured to make sure they will not endanger Jewish New Yorkers.
Quite simple.
And number three, we're collecting all this information and putting it up on the web on the
Mamdami monitor.
Did he just say Mom Dami?
He did say Mom Dami.
Okay, this guy, fuck off.
I mean, Mom.
He's not some, he's, this is a well-spoken, highly erudite guy.
he knows exactly how to pronounce it.
Mom, Dom, me, exactly.
Yeah.
Also, we're examining all the people filling roles
and all the programs to make sure they won't endanger
Jewish New Yorkers.
We're making sure that the free buses aren't secretly programmed.
To crash into the Israeli embassy or Zabars or Russ and daughters.
I mean, fucking, hey, just like, talking about the protection of Jewish New Yorkers is a really fucked up thing to do disingenuously.
And that's what he's doing, man, because when he talks about, like, for the protection of Jewish New Yorkers from anti-Semitism, he is very specifically talking about protecting people who want to continue funding illegal settlement activity in Israel, protecting people who want to continue backing.
up a genocide. I mean, this is not, this is, this is not good for Jewish safety. I would,
I would argue.
So that Jewish New Yorkers and people who care about them can see for themselves what's
happening. Sorry, you know what else isn't good for Jewish safety?
What?
Fucking everyone having to hear about Jewish safety all the time. I know, dog. I know. It really
isn't. Like it makes me want to go endanger Jewish safety. It just makes me want to endanger
myself.
Find myself walking
on the very edge of the Manhattan
Bridge, you know?
Yeah.
See what the ADL has to say about this.
Yeah. I'm going to do an act
of self-antisemitism.
I'll jump and blame it on the
fucking Muslims.
God, man. Yeah, I know.
And just finishing up, what is it?
And draw their own conclusions.
Yeah. He was talking about drawing,
you know, I just want to
collect all the data and have people draw
their own conclusions. And draw their own pie charts. Yeah, and draw their own charts
which, uh, you know, in which, you know, 2025, red will be even more up. Um,
you know, they just- For their communism. Yes, exactly. Red for anti-Semitism and communism at
the same time, because we know they are the same. And, you know, he has gone on to also,
um, like continue spreading the same smears that he was doing, you know, uh,
before Mamdani one, he put out this video, which someone cut together in which he was able,
this is like a feat.
He was able to smear Mamdani as an anti-Semite for talking about the, you know, NYPD working with the Israelis.
And for that clip in which he said, you know, every time you see, you know,
NYPD has a boot on someone's neck,
you know, it was laced up by the IDF.
That was the quote that he has been smeared for.
It's a good quote.
It's fucking great quote.
And it's also true.
And also it is something that he is being called an anti-Semite for
by people who are claiming that it is not true.
And at the same time talking about how it's kind of true,
here is, once again, Jonathan Greenblatt talking about the NYPD.
The idea that the ADL or any American organization is bringing NYPD or any law enforcement or Ferguson police or any law enforcement agency to train with the IDF is a lie.
It is a fiction.
It is a complete contrivance.
And I would argue, I don't know if any law enforcement agency in the United States has ever trained with any military across around the world.
Like, I don't know, so I won't pretend to be an expert.
You better believe none of them train with the IDO.
Now, ADL has brought law enforcement to learn from to work with the Israel National Police.
And I'm proud of that.
I'm sorry, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
So, just so I'm clear, you just said one thing.
And now you were claiming, well, no, no, no, no.
We're talking about the IDF, or are we talking about the Israeli national police?
That's a different.
Law enforcement to learn from to work with the Israel National Police,
and I'm proud of that.
And the NYPD has an intelligence unit in Israel.
What?
You know, shares information.
I'm proud of that.
It's saved lines.
But he's not only admitting that it's true, he's claiming to be the coordinator of it.
Right.
I was just like, oh, there's no connection of their own accord.
But I am the overseer of this special project.
but other than that, there's no involvement.
The idea that the ADL has been working with the fucking NYPD to get them to be trained
by Israelis is a fucking lie.
Now, on the other hand, I have done exactly that, but I'm proud of it.
But don't blame the cops for that.
Yeah, exactly.
I think he's trying to make a distinction.
I think where it's an absolute lie is the distinction that it is somehow not the IDF
and yet instead the Israeli National Police, which is a distinction that does not at all take away from the substance of what Mundani said.
Yeah, that video of mayor-elect Mondami saying that two some odd years ago in August 2023,
It's just an example by New Yorkers are alarmed.
So we're taking concrete steps to shut this down.
Don't say shut it down, bro.
Please don't say that fucking, the white nationalist fucking phrase.
Is that a white nationalist phrase?
Woke activists use it all the time, too.
If we don't get it, shut it down.
Yeah, but what it is, it's usually it's, oh, no, the goyam, no, shut it down.
And it's just like some caricature of like a cynic,
Nice, nice, nice, nice, shut it all down.
By the way, the podcast he was appearing on is called Misgav, which is a Hebrew word for
High Place of Refuge, Stronghold, or Fortress.
It conveys the image of an inaccessible and secure height that provides protection from danger.
The term is often used in a poetic and religious context to describe God as a powerful and
unassailable place of safety for his people.
Some sort of eagle's nest.
I mean, yeah, oh, God, man.
I mean, you can't like, how can you take this fucking guy seriously?
He just sits there and he goes like, you know, this is an unbelievable level of anti-Semitism
spoken by Mamdani two years ago in which he was doing anti-Semitism because he did not make
clear that the people who are lacing up the boot on your neck are the Israeli national police.
That is very important for you to know.
in case, you know, there's a difference.
But yeah, there's...
He's like Pinocchio, only every time he lies, he gets balder.
Yes, yes, exactly.
By the way, Hassan tweeted,
The ADL has spent the last two years trying to get me de-platform
and mention Nick Fuentes zero times.
Important to note,
it took him four days to respond to Nick Fuentes
breaking into the mainstream last week.
That's Ben Lorber, talking about what is now, like,
the fifth or sixth in a series of tweets.
did about the Mamdani monitor.
And just, you know, so you can see some more evidence.
This is from the Times of Israel.
Sorry, just a second.
I just got a flash of the Mamdani monitor being like a baby monitor.
Yeah.
Checking to see if he's crying.
They're going to be monitoring like Zoran's bedroom.
Right.
Yeah.
Open up the Mamdani monitor.
Oh, no.
He's sleeping on his belly again.
Someone turn him.
Someone turn him over.
Can't breathe.
This is from 2002, from the Times of Israel.
ADL considered scrapping its U.S. police training trips to Israel, decided not to.
Sub headline, after defending the programs at the height of 2020 anti-brutality protests,
the anti-racism organization is now admitting that an internal memo questioned their ethicality.
And then also, this is from the...
American Council for Judaism, from August 10th, 2020, military-style training of U.S. police by Israel
comes under criticism.
And this is back when, back, yeah, in 2020, as the article stated earlier.
It's just like, this is, none of this is fucking, it's so not fake that he literally had to admit that it was real in the exact same video in which,
She says it's fake.
Yeah.
Like, it is, it's insane to watch all of this.
And it's insane that there's a hotline now.
There's a hotline for Jewish New Yorkers to call and, uh,
and talk about all the anti-Semitism coming from City Hall.
And I think that here at the Bad Hasbara podcasts,
we have some, uh, soul searching of our own to do.
Mm-hmm.
Because I realize that while, you know,
Jonathan Greenblatt has identified, you know, something that is an issue for Jewish New Yorkers,
which is like experiencing anti-Semitism and having some place to go report it.
But what he's missing is the idea that sometimes you don't know if what you're experiencing is anti-Semitism.
That's right.
This is something that, you know, we go through our day and you're like, was that, I feel like I was just hate crime.
Did I just get kike shamed?
Right. Did I get kike shamed? I don't know.
And sometimes you need.
need to talk to someone to better help you identify whether or not what you're feeling is
anti-Semitism or what you're feeling is glat change.
Very good.
Much better, much better.
Yeah, it's very, it's very subtle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it works.
If you've never been to a glat market, then you don't understand it.
Okay, but yes, so sometimes you need help, identify.
it, right? And so luckily we've created here at the Bad Has Barra podcast a new hotline for
Jewish New Yorkers and non-Jewish, sure, but Jewish New Yorkers dealing.
And non-New Yorkers.
And non-New Yorkers, you know, but, you know, whoever, for dealing with a confusing world
of anti-Semitism. And it's a hotline where you can text a train professional and they will
tell you exactly how to feel about what you've just experienced.
It's called Betar Help, and it is going to connect you with a voicemail in which you can call
and leave a message for a team of trained far-right kahanist psychopaths and Christian Zionist fundamentalists,
and they will tell you of what you're experiencing is indeed anti-Semitism or something else.
We have a phone number for you to call. That's right.
4-747-347-348-5259.
You can call right now, leave a message, and let us know what you've experienced, and our team will let you know whether or not that was an actual anti-Semitic thing.
For example, okay, Yonatan wrote us recently that he saw the president of the United States of America go on national TV and say this.
from in some cases a fine banker and in some cases shylocks and bad people and our team of far right kahanis at batar will let yonatan know that no that is not anti-semitism that's just a fun word that he can say sometimes it's actually based very specifically on the merchant of venice and in that it actually very much humanizes the character of shylock therefore it's actually um just just
It's based on the merchant of Venice, therefore it's based.
That's right.
Another early submission we had was from a woman named Rifka in Borough Park, who said that her bagel shop was recently raided by uniformed law enforcement officers claiming to be from the, what is it called, the Schutzstaffel, SS for short, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
And was that, and demanding to see her pepos in German accents?
And it was submitted to our team of experts.
And they reassured her no, Rivka.
In fact, it's not asterisk unless these men spoke German with an Arabic accent.
That's right.
That's right.
In which case it definitely was.
Right.
Exactly.
And, you know, so in these cases, it's important to know whether or not when someone
Sieg Heils during, let's say, I don't know, a celebration of a president winning, that if
that president is pro-Israel, well, then he's just having a little bit of fun. He's just letting
a little steam out. He's just trying to, you know, trigger the lives. And that is totally
fine. However, they'll also let you know that if you walk by, let's say, I don't know,
an ad for Burger King and the Whopper seems to share the same colors as the Palestinian flag and
you feel a little bit attacked by that color scheme. We will let you know, yes, absolutely. You have
indeed experienced anti-Semitism and you should be in Israel. What are you doing here? Why are you still
living here? Incidentally, if you do see a fast food hamburger that is the colors red, green, white, and
black, we recommend you not eat it for several reasons. Well, I mean, listen, if you're
planning to move to Israel, you definitely shouldn't be eating that. But if you're not planning
to and you're a diaspora Jew and you're like, no, I just want to live in peace and the place
where I come from, then yeah, we do, then die, then die. And our team at Betar Help will let you know
that you should die and it is very important that you do. And so please, if you are someone
who is experiencing anti-Semitism and you don't know or you have experienced it or you're
about to commit it and you don't know
what you're doing is anti-Semitism
or not, please go to better. If you're whiny
victim curious. That's right. If you're
whiny victim curious, go to
Betar help. Once again,
that phone number, 747-34-8-8
5259, leave a
message and you will get a
text back from our team. Texts work as well,
right? Oh, you can also text.
You can also text, but either way,
voicemail text, the point is, is
you will never speak mouth to
mouth with another human, because they are all busy using that mouth to suck off the ghost
of Meyer Kahana.
So please do that now.
The multi-coct ghost, we should say.
That's right.
That's right.
It is tentacles of cocks around the world.
You know, I've had that image stuck in my head since you mentioned it.
Good.
And I cannot get it out.
Good.
Before we leave today, Daniel.
Oh, me.
I have one more thing for you.
you. Oh, I should hope so. Are you familiar with Emily Schrader? I sure am. The Grinch, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah. The Grinch of Israel, she is, of course, not from Israel. She is from
Los Angeles and went to USC was, I think, just a regular Southern California.
California girl until she went on birthright and discovered that, you know, you can just kind of be an ethnic king of a place.
And there was nothing she liked more than that.
So she has been someone who is, we've talked about a lot on this podcast.
She does Hasbara.
She goes on Pierce Morgan.
She says racist things and no one seems to care.
Well, she is taking Mom Dony's win very harshly.
and she is trying to soothe herself in ways that I think are almost normal.
You know,
I think,
Daniel,
I've ever felt so bad about something that the only way you could just,
like,
clear your mind of it was to watch a funny cat video.
Oh,
sure,
all the time.
I love funny cat videos.
I play them when I'm just like,
sometimes you feel bad.
And you're just like,
internet,
I don't want to see any more sad.
I would like to see some happy.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
You know,
I can has Prozac.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Exactly. And so, you know, Emily is much the same as anybody else, but because she's a Zionist, she's just like everyone else, but more racist. And so she went to Twitter to show everyone a funny video, a funny cat video that she had discovered. And I will play that for you now. For those listening at home, you see some security footage video of a woman walking down a street with a black person, a white purse.
And behind her is a generic shake-looking guy, an Arab of some sort, possibly Persian, possibly Ayatollah-ish.
Yeah, royalty vibes.
Yes, walking down the street behind her, stalking her.
She turns around to look at him.
He's talking to her up close and boom, a cat comes out of nowhere and jumps and scares him off.
This is an AI-generated video that was made by SORA, I believe,
with the watermark taken out in which literally Emily just was so sad.
She went to Sora to ask it to make a racist Islamophobic video.
She went and took some Xyoloft.
Yeah, she took some Zyloft,
aka going on the internet and asking the AI computer to make you something racist,
for you.
I have,
like,
this is the perfect
encapsulation of the type of
mindset of a Zionist,
which is like you are literally
struggling
with the world around you
and you need to feel better.
And nothing makes you feel better
than seeing something racist
that you can pass off
as real.
It hits every single
fucking mark here. She's like,
I feel bad.
I need to do some Islamophobic Hasbara,
but I wanted to be funny and cat-focused.
Just shout out to you, Emily.
That cat is fighting the good fight for the Jewish people.
That's right.
Thank you for your service.
The lion of Zion is tiny but mighty.
Look at him go.
Just, yeah, sees the shake,
and he runs off holding his head.
And by the way, her purse, if you are looking at it,
is just gone
now she just has
one instead of two
purses so
that cat is a hell
of a pickpocket
right?
Yeah,
you know,
you play the
good Samaritan
and you make off
with the loot.
That's right.
Turns out the cat
was in on it.
Yeah,
so shout out to
Emily Schrader for
three claw Monty.
Yeah,
apparently.
I like it.
We don't have a guest.
I can just throw shit
at the wall.
And that's honestly
what the show
always was and has been.
You just keep doing puns until at some point one of us runs out of storage space on our computer.
That's the kind of show I want to run.
I'll tell you that right now.
Daniel, that's it.
That is our show.
