And welcome to Bad Hasbara. I thought you were going to say hell on earth. The world's most moral, but what the fuck even is the point anymore podcast. That's right. My name is Matt Lieb. I will be your world's most doomer-pilled, black-pilled, everything sucks, co-host for this fuck cast. Yes, yes, says Daniel Matt. your other co-host. Hi, everybody. Thank you for tuning in, despite it all, or perhaps because of it all.

That's right. You know, we are optimists at heart, and we will stay optimistic throughout this podcast and do our best to bring you not only the news, but also that positivity that we are so famous for on this podcast, the one that says, hey, everything's going to be fine long. We all work together. My chin doesn't even go down. It's chin up all the time. That's right. My lip, has never been more stiff. My upper lip. Gotta keep it stiff. Whatever the fuck that means.

What is, that's a British. It means don't cry because when British people, British people suppress their emotions so much, that their bodies start to quiver in like two hours in advance of expressing an emotion. So it's like, no, clamp down on that shit. Damn, that's so crazy. Stiff upper lip this whole time is meant don't cry in public. These are adults.

It's right. How did they, how did they control a third? of the world. Do you ever wonder that about the British? How did they ever, how did they figure that out? I don't know, man. I just don't get it. That's how they won Dunkirk. Did they win Dunkirk? I think they escaped Dunkirk. Okay, that's, they were good at boats. Yeah. They were good at boats. It's true. They're like, oh, we made a boat, yeah, so we can cry, but now can tell because of the ocean water, yeah. Um, please. Speaking of oceans, I mean, it's crazy that they named an entire part of their military after a color, after navy blue.

And the people in the comments who are the haters who don't like, what's the spin, are going to be sorry that Matt asked. And I apologize to our guest for the length of this, but I just fucking love women's month so much. Okay. I just fucking love women so much, dude. And I got so many great women in my collection. And I just couldn't stop once I started pulling them off the shelf. You know what I'm saying? I got shelves full of women.

Shelves. So here's Siza, who I really should have included on the abbreviations, spin a few episodes ago. Is S-Z-A? I guess it is. S-Z-A. S-E-A, and the album is called S-O-S. Oh, go that.

Great album. Look at that. Santee Gold, who I first heard on a Beastie Boys song, off Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, but she's fantastic debut album. Joanna Newsom, one of these artists that I never gave the time of day back in the day because she was part of that whole Tweed, alt-folk movement that I made, I had prejudices about. But my God, is this a brilliant album? This is, wait, is that one?

This is the milk-eyed mender. Oh, you know what? I don't think I've ever listened to that one. That's the only one I've missed. I listen to Wise, and I listen to have one on me. But I don't know that one. When did that one come out? I think this might be her original, her debut.

Anyway, it's extraordinary. She's playing the harp. She's singing in that voice of hers that is inimitable. She is the absolute best. You know, I almost wish you would end with her so I could spend five minutes just saying how much I love her and how she is probably my favorite folk artist who's out now, I suppose. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've listened to have one on me so many times that, you know, when you love an artist so much that you, that you're just like, you get mad when you find out that they're married to Andy Sandberg, you know that feeling? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mary Gautier is a Nashville songwriter and singer, but she's written songs for a lot of country singers. They've covered her stuff. And this is her album, Mercy Now, which is beautiful. It's a really beautiful album about forgiveness, mercy, addiction. It's really great. I got to meet her a few years ago at the Vancouver Folk Festival. Really recommend.

This woman, Cecil McClorin Salvant, is a jazz singer, and this is an amazing album called... what the fuck is it called? I don't know. Melu-melucine or something like I got. Look it up. That's what it looks like. Beautiful.

I think it's like an adaptation of some European footh tale. Anyway, she's amazing. Betty Davis. They say I'm different. Not Betty with an E, Betty with a Y. Oh, okay. You can see that these Betty Davis eyes

are not quite what Kim Carnes was singing about. Yes, yes, yes, different. She's awesome. Very idiosyncratic. jazz, not jazz, funk soul, artists from the 70s. This is a beautiful live theater piece by two amazing French language singers, one Pauline Gillian from Quebec, one and Sylvester from France, and this is called Gemo Croixie or Crossed Twins.

I think they're both Gemini's. Michel and Deocello, Peace Beyond Passion, great bass player and singer. Sheila E, a protege of Prince, the glamorous life. Hell yeah Moni Love Amazing rapper From the Native Tungs Collective Down to Earth

L.A. represent with the Lady of Rage Necessary Roughness And a song that's not on that album But her single Afro Puffs Nice She was on the chronic Dr. Dreh

That's right Yeah, let me Let me cap it After these next two Katie Webster Swamp Boogie Queen Incredible boogie player blues singer. Love this album.

And finally, Umu Sangare from Mali. This is her album, Timbuktu, the queen of Mali and music. Amazing singer. I think Beyonce either sampled her or had her on the like, what's that called? Black is Beautiful album, the one that she did a, that's not called Black is Beautiful, but the, you know the one I mean? Like the Lion King adaptation? Oh, oh, that one.

Yeah, yeah. The Lion King album. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Anyways. There you go. That's it. Thanks for sitting.

Thanks for indulging me. Of course. Happy International Women's Month, folks. So that's what's spinning in the Matte household. Before we go on, you have one more thing left. Oh, well, one of my favorite women and one of our favorite women on this podcast posted a lovely story that I'm going to read as best I can in her voice. Oh, I love this. Yeah.

This is a story. You know, it's so nice when air travel, which can be alienating and upsetting, turns out to be heartwarming and an opportunity for togetherness. So this is Eve Barlow telling an obviously true story that definitely happened. I'm on a flight, and my air host hands me a glass of champagne, sees my mug in David, and beneath his breath, whispers, Lechheim. He asks me if I want a splash of juice in my glass. I said, just aside of Amisrael Chai, or chai, maybe she said.

Maybe she meant that as a pun. It's got to be, because otherwise, what the fuck does any of that mean? And also, wouldn't it be the opposite? You're drinking juice and someone offers you a splash of champagne? Yeah. Like, I'm just sitting casually drinking champagne. And someone's like, they offered to upgrade me to juice. Yeah.

Do you need a chaser for this? that champagne, you weakling. You look like you need some vitamins. You know how she posted, I'm going to the war with this fucking shit-eating grin on her face? Oh, yeah. This is probably the flight. Yeah.

You want some Jews in your drink. Yeah, exactly. Some cranberry Jews. He smiles. Oh, yeah. He smiles. I say, are you a member of the tribe? He says, I just found out yes in my bloodline. I ask, where are you,

He says, I am from Venezuela. I say, holy shit. So how are you feeling right now? Good? He says, I'd love to say more. I will just say, I feel more hope than ever for the world. Todaraba for all that you do. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Stop there. Stop there. We are now meant to, listen, none of this sounds real. But you know what's extra impossible? someone going up to Eve Barlow and knowing what she do. No one has ever seen Eve Barlow on the streets and been like, oh yeah, you. And not had that be like, oh, yeah, you're that awful person who X, Y, Z. That is amazing.

Yeah. Now here's the follow up. On the same flight, another flight attendant is trying. to adhere to Ramadan. And we had a 30-minute conversation as a Jewish woman, a Jewish woman and a Muslim woman about how Western white leftists

know absolute Jack shut about the Middle East. So fuck you and shut up. I love it. I love it, dude. Preemptively get in there with like, and for all of you Western white leftists who are about to make fun of me for this, we actually also talked about you.

And now you're wrong. Oh, God bless, God bless Eve Fartlow. She is just an endless source of entertainment. Just living absolutely in a fantasy land from day one. Yeah. I'm going to start calling her bar high. I mean, the bar is so high now for her. It's a high bar.

I mean, no one can do what she do. Mostly because no one. Thank her for what she do. No one knows what she do. Now to move on to people who, who we do know what they do and we like what they do. We have a wonderful guest that I'm very excited to bring back a returning Bad Hezbarra champion, stand-up comedian. Ladies and gentlemen and everyone else, welcome back to the show, Andrea Moore.

Hey! You nailed it. Hi, Andrea. Yeah, I nailed it. Hi. Good to be here. Everyone was worried that I was... I could tell you were nervous.

I was saying, you would think it would be her last name that he wouldn't know how to pronounce, but it was actually her first name that he was struggling with. Well, I was saying Andrea or Andrea, and I asked which one was right. And then they said it was, I couldn't get it. I couldn't get it right because I'm not good at pronouncing things for some reason. I just, it's never been my strong suit. But that's neither here nor there. How are you doing Andrea more? I'm good.

And you know, you can just call me either by my first name or my last name. You don't have to do both. But yeah, it does feel a little bit like a power play to be like, Matt, is that your little name? Matt? Am I pronouncing that right? Well, when you say it like that, then it does sound like a little bit like it's a little name, but it's a big name, actually. And a lot of people thank me for what I do. Well, it's short for Mattis Yahoo.

That's right. That's right. It's short for King without a crown. Speaking of Russ Trent. Speaking of Ross Trent, yeah. You know what's crazy is that that was just something that happened. At one point, we had a Hasidic Jewish reggae star and everyone just went, fine, Obama's president.

I think this is cool. Yeah. This is allowed, I guess. There was a lot more tolerance back then. There was. There was a time when America was great. And luckily. And now it's.

fire upon white reggae boys i know it is now it's even greater yeah yeah and now finally america is healing we have be becoming great again uh since the last time you were on this podcast um i don't know what's changed if everything has gotten worse um but i wanted to ask you how have you been how has been the the last few months since you've been here how do you like the news so far You know, I'm all about Iranian liberation, so I'm loving the news. Yeah, I've been good, you know, betting markets are looking great. So that's really all I care about. You're getting that Kalshi money?

You're getting that polymarket money? Did you bet on the spread? Like Lindsay Graham, you know, getting his wish and the oil, fields being bombed and yeah. Yeah, I'm in a group chat with Nancy Pelosi and I have to mute it because it's just always blowing up. It's always blowing up when we're blowing things up. And so I just have to be like, I'm going to check it when I'm ready to check notifications

rather than having them kind of like in and date. Because otherwise I'm just like, okay, I have to, you know, then on the curve. It's addictive. You have to, if you're going to be a good better, you've got to get your sleep. And if you're up all night following Nancy stock tips, I've told this story on the podcast, but on the New York City subway. there is an ad that I regularly see for some kind of like investing app or something like that to give you good advice.

And it's like invest like the pros. And there's Warren Buffett's stock profile. I've seen that ad. Elon Musk's stock profile and Nancy Pelosi's stock profile. And I have to think that's a really funny troll. That is incredible. Trade like an inside. They might as well say trade like.

an insider. Yeah. Trade like a criminal. That is pretty amazing. I love that. I think we're all very excited about what the market will soon be doing. Not right now, though. For some reason, which is totally unexplainable, the stock market has crashed today.

Freedom isn't free. Freedom is not free. No, it certainly isn't. And you got to spend money to make money. I think that's an old adage that we all can certainly understand. And you got to kill people to kill economies. That's right. That's right.

And can hurt people, hurt people? That's right. And yes, yeah, yeah, hurt people, hurt people. And bomb people. Bomb people. That's right, bomb people. And that's what we are. We are a bum-ass country.

We're a bomb-ass country doing bomb-ass. Oh, God. Right now Iran, you know, is in the next. news for, you know, being... They were me-toed. They were me-toed. Twelve different Gulf states have finally come out and said all of the different inappropriate behaviors that they have been doing for the past 40-plus years.

No, the... Right now, Iran, of course, is being bombed by Israel and being bombed by the United States. And we're going to be talking a lot about that today. because the Hezbar around that has been so uniquely terrible that it's almost it's almost like they just don't want this show to ever end. They've decided that they were like, no, no, no, no. We can't let these guys run out of material. So we're going to have to keep supplementing it with more and more insane shit.

But I want to start out with something that's not Hezbar. I want to start out with something that is just, old-fashioned American, rah, raw, let's go to war. I want to talk about Lindsey Graham. Lindsay Graham, as you all know, has been pushing for this particular war with Iran for a long, long time.

Lindsay Graham earlier before we did this was going back and forth, admittedly, he has admitted to going to Israel in order to meet with the government there to find out exactly the right things to say. He was telling them how to convince Trump to go to war, and he did finally get his wish. And he has never been more excited.

He is not trying to explain anything. His support for this war is not just full-throated. It is deep-throated. It's deep-throated, yeah. And I want to play this clip. of him on Fox News recently talking about Iran and what is to come. And we're going to win. Israel and the United States, you just wait to see what comes in the next two weeks.

The next two weeks meaning what? We're going to blow the hell out of these people. This regime is in a death row now. It is going to be on its knees. It's going to fall. And when it falls, we're going to have people. we're going to have peace like another time. We're going to have prosperity.

Unlike anyone could ever imagine, peace brings prosperity. You can't do it by talking. The Democrats criticize this operation. They didn't do a damn thing. These men and women in the military should make us all proud. So, I mean... We're going to achieve glory through some kind of hole. Thank you, producer, Adam.

Thank you. There's nothing I love more about Lady Graham. than his complete lack of awareness as to how everything he says sounds like a gay sex innuendo. We're going to blow the hell out of these people. We're going to get them on their knees. That's right. I'm going to wrap the sweet lips of freedom around the hard shaft of tyranny and suck out all the Islam. Like, everything about him is just, he's so gay.

And, you know, I love all people, all shapes and sizes and all, you know, sexual orientations. But the way that he talks about Iran is just, ooh, may their missiles bust all over my face a few times. And trust me, I could take some blasts. I could take some blasts on the chin and keep on grinning, you know what I mean? But if there's one thing I know how to do, it's take blows and give them back. You know what I'm talking about? That's right. I'm a cluster ejaculator.

I'll swallow what you got and give you some more, all right? I'll make sure you're absolutely depleted all of your stockpiles. I'll make sure you are sucked dry. I'll get up all in your anium. How are you doing over there, Andrea? You enjoying this line of rifting? I guess I'm just like thinking about what it entails. and I'm having a hard time laughing about it because it's like so horrific.

I mean, like not not to be like oh, we can't joke, but it's just like the imagery is so like front and center that I'm like just him talking about like we're going to bomb the hell out of them. Like it I don't know it's like really hard for me to even be like yeah and he is gay. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. Just reading about black acid rain falling from the sky. And I mean, I can't say what I want to say about, like, what someone should do to Lindsay Graham. Like, it is, I don't know.

I mean, like, just, yeah. It's kind of the type of thing that, like, in Israeli prison guard might do to a Palestinian prisoner. It's like, you know, comparable to that. Yeah, yeah. No, it is very dark. I agree completely. And I'm not, yeah, I'm not like, oh, that's fucked up. Like, we can't joke about it.

I'm just, like, that is all I can think about is the, what that type of language on his part, like, you know, is doing to people and the environment. Well, you're not the only one who's horrified by it. although for different reasons, I think your reason for being horrified is grounded in humanity and some kind of moral instinct. Can you show the Megan McCain tweet? Oh, yeah. Here's Megan McCain saying, I've known Lindsey Graham since I was a child. I am imploring anyone who will listen in the Trump administration to stop sending this man out

as a surrogate. He is scaring people and doing damage to whatever message you're trying to sell to the American public about the Iran war. A message I support, by the way, and want to get out there an effective, non-scaredly. Yeah. Just like my daddy would have wanted me to. So it's like, come and get Uncle Lindsay. He's off his meds again.

Yeah. And by the way, Uncle Lindsay, that is a nickname for him that the Iranian diaspora and Iranian bots have given to him. Do you have the clip called Uncle Lindsay? Apparently, I'm commonly. to is Uncle Lindsay in Iran, and apparently that's a good thing. Yeah. I love he's like, apparently that's a good thing.

Amu and Lindsey. The idea that he's like, I guess they like uncles over there. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. But he being the face of this for, at least for the messaging aspect, is it's a really funny thing for Megan McCain to notice because. there are a lot of Megan McCain's out there who are talking about the optics.

They're talking about, no, we have to sell this war to the American people and people like Lindsey Graham are not doing a good job because he's just being honest as to what his goals are, which is to reign death and destruction upon people. You know, it's funny. I can't think of a single...

He says it in a funny way. I can't think of a single Israeli figure who said something comparable about any Hasbarist? Like, whoa, like, this is not going to sell our... Like, that's one difference between the American right and the Israeli political spectrum. Yeah.

They just have... You know, they might be like, he's not keeping us safe. They might criticize his policies. Right. But there's no one on the Zionist spectrum who's looking at what we're looking at and being like, you guys are just feeding Leib and Maté, like, material every week.

Stop it. Yeah, that's true. No, they don't look at it that way. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Yeah, I have a question for you guys because that Megan McCain tweet is really interesting to me because I'm like, does it matter if they're selling the war to us or not? Like, they're going to do it no matter what. Like there's no pretense anymore.

And I guess I'm just curious, like, does it matter? Do they need that? I mean, Trump can't run again. Like, what is the- It's a good question. Who cares whether there's support for a war or not or if there's protests? Because as we've seen, like, protests don't do anything. I mean, at least the way Americans protest.

So is it just because she's online all day? And she's like, I want there to not be any tweets that I see. Like, I don't want to feel embarrassed. No, that's what it is. I don't want to feel humiliated. I think, like, there is something to what you're saying. Like, the manufacturing of consent is not the same. it used to be. It used to be that you're selling, you know, at least in Chomsky's model,

you know, you're selling it partly to the American public to pacify them and keep them immobilized so that they don't rise up and make your job that much harder, your job of imperialist destruction. But you're mainly selling it to the intellectual class. Right. I think the cadre of people that they're trying to sell it to, like they've is smaller and smaller. And they're trying to keep themselves hard. They're just fluffing themselves, right? It's partly an echo chamber of arousal and and tumessence for more and more fucking destruction. And you can see how horny Graham is for this. And then for the rest of the populace, it is just beating them down with a kind of strong man posing. And I don't know what they think is going to happen, but I think it can only backfire. And

you're seeing that among some, even some right-wangers. Do you have the tweet from Birchall, I think, was one of Graham's colleagues, GOP colleagues. He says, Bertchett. I'd never heard of him before. Is he a senator or a congressman person? I don't know who Tim Birdshit is. Bird shit.

Adam, can you look that up? But I believe he's a Republican. So he says, I'm going to quit saying stuff about Lindsay being a warmonger. if our farm gets carpet bombed, Mrs. Birdshit will be ticked. So that's some shade, I think, or I don't think he's saying that Lindsay is based and should be admired.

But I do know that there's more and more conservatives, right-wangers, and military people who are like, what the fuck are you doing to this country? That's, I think, what they are actually doing that has bar for. And that's what Megan McCain cares about. Megan McCain doesn't give a shit if liberals are, you know, going out doing mass protests against war. Which, by the way, we're not nearly enough.

Right. Or like, you know, anti-war protesters in general that are of any kind of left-wing persuasion. She doesn't give a shit about. They're never trying to convince the left of anything. What they are actively fighting against is this ever-growing-weigh-weigh-weigh-weigh-weigh-weigh-weigh. movement on the right of people who meant it when they said they were anti-war. You know, the sort of like Tucker Carlson sort of cadre on the right, who, when they say America First, they mean it, at least in the sense of they are, would be against the idea

that this entire thing is just so that Israel can solidify its geopolitical, you know, goal in the region. Like they, America gains nothing from that. So when they see Lindsay Graham doing essentially this kind of like bloodthirsty neoconism that everyone had this huge reaction against, people like Megan McCain get nervous because like, oh no, this will make us look stupid again. And I don't want to be made to look stupid. I want to be made to look like there's a smart intellectual reason for why we need to do all of this. And there's not a real reason behind it. other than sort of a, I think, personal posturing, because it's not like they need the consent of everybody

or anybody, really. I think there's one thing that all the last two plus years have proven is that they do not need the consent of the governed to do anything in this fucking country, that people, the way they vote doesn't matter, that it is just a, they, will do whatever they want foreign policy-wise, and no one gets a say.

Congress doesn't even get a say. So if nobody gets a say, then there is no real democracy when it comes to our foreign policy. So they're really just doing this so that they can all sleep better at night. That's my general guess. But you go ahead.

I also wonder if there's some homophobia because he's just so thirsty and moist about it all. She's not talking about how Heggseth is scaring the fuck out of everyone. Oh, interesting. Like being an absolute chud psychopath. You know,

they're, you know, and Trump talking about how all these Iranians are going to die and as if that's a, you know,

Hegseth going on 60 minutes, which, by the way, I want to say something about that, and saying, oh, it's not a fair fight at all. And that's how we want it. We are going to smash them,

which then, is the question, so why were they a threat? You know? But by the way, if you thought that the never Trump, not my president, liberal intelligentsia, media, the New York Times, CNN, forget CBS now because they've fallen into

frenemy hands. But fucking Tapper is double-tapping on all the same kinds of framings. Like, you know, Chris Murphy, if you come out against this war, you're going to be labeled as against the troops. Yeah. And so they hate Trump until it's time to go do what every president has always done,

in which case it's time to fall in line, hail to the chief. Yeah. But Jake Tapper has always been such a Zionist. I mean, this would be really good for Israel because Iran is like, you know, it would diminish their ability to threaten Israel. So I think he sees that as like a huge plus. Like destabilizing Iran means that Jake Tapper gets to talk more about anti-Semitism and how we've defeated it or the need to. Yeah.

No, I mean. Dana Bash both. Yeah. But there's there's a bunch of, I think, people who we kind of expected this from in terms of like liberal news people like Dana Bash or like, you know, Jake Tapper. What's interesting is with this particular, you know, with the U.S. involvement, they do have to tow this kind of line where now they have to justify it in some way, whereas before they could just easily justify the genocide of the Palestinian people as being necessary due to the fact that there are college campuses where people are, you know, yelling at Israelis. You know, like, they could just, they could make the foreign issues into domestic issues of anti-Semitism as to, so as to distract from the fact that we are funding and arming a genocide in Gaza. Now they have to explain why it's okay for Trump to, you know, eventually put boots on the ground. And that's going to be a lot harder, I think.

And we're seeing, I think, a lot of different people trying different, you know, the messaging has been so. scatter shot that I think it's been fun for me to watch. Like, the Israeli attempts at doing Hezbarra have been really funny because they are, I mean, they're always doing the same thing, essentially, which is like either tell people they're too stupid to understand why this needs to happen or tell them that it's anti-Semitic for them to not support the war. Here is from CBS News a video of Israeli President Isaac Herzog talking to CBS's Count Dukupil. Zog is literally in his name.

I know, I know. It's unfortunate. Come on. Isaac, her, Zionist occupied government. He went on CBS to explain the wall to people. I understand it's not a popular war in America because, you know, usually people do not know the intricacies of the war and they also compare it to previous and other wars. This is a unique wall. And I listened very carefully to Secretary's Rubio's statements yesterday in Congress.

It's a unique wall. It's a focused wall. It is a war that comes in a time where you can really bring real change in the Middle East for the future. Thank you, Mr. President. That was amazing. That was amazing. That's doku pill. That's doku pill. Herzog gives this absolutely condescending, patronizing,

you know, backslap to the face of every American. People are not smart. They don't understand the intricacies, you know, acid rain is actually good for you. and then after this fucking ridiculous answer cut to doku pell he's just he's there with a blank expression and then he shrugs

and gives him like all right great well thank you very much no no further questions here on no further question what what possible follow-up could I have to that explanation of how people don't understand how this time is going to be different well I'm satisfied I love his his explanation is do not compare this wow to other wows.

There are many different types of wow, and this one is different. By the way, I love his pronunciation of war as well. In fact, I made the... Whoa, wall, wall, wall. Sorry. You know, just sometimes you need to entertain yourself, and you find ways.

I love it. his pronunciation of focused. Focused. Focused. We are focused. It's incredible to be sitting there. The new head of the CBS News Department, the new anchor of national news.

And listen to someone say, people just don't get it, man. People are just kind of fucking stupid about it. He is an anchor for national news and that he's fucking dragging it down to the bottom of the ocean. Exactly. Exactly. Or at the very least,

keeping us anchored into the status quo of just believing anything that an Israeli says. It is unfortunate how fun the accent is to do. I think it's because also Israelis love doing duck face and the pronunciation kind of forces your lips to do that. Like, you know, you take, for instance, to say cookie, you have to purse your lips together or focused. And so you're kind of naturally making yourself look less white. but it's very smart in that way.

Less white. You know, like, kind of pumping the lips up just through the pronunciation. Verbal Botox. Verbal lip filler. But let's say, we'll talk about lip filler when we get to Olivia Rangel. That's right. But so that's one of the ways in which the Israelis are trying to sell the war to Americans. The other way is this is from the Israel's ambassador to the U.S.

His name is Michael Leiter. And he was speaking with the BBC recently, they were actually asking him what I would consider to be a real question regarding the imminent threat that Iran supposedly posed. And this is how he answered this question. Either Israel nor America has provided any evidence that Iran was intending to launch an imminent attack, nor any evidence that Iran would have a nuclear weapon that could be used within weeks. Neither of those two things have been shown by the evidence shared by your country or by the Americans.

Showed to whom? To the BBC? We've shown it to each other. We're quite confident that they were intending on using nuclear weapons once they achieve them. And right now, I don't understand exactly what the question is. You have ballistic missiles raining down on 12 different countries. That's not imaginary. I don't think that has to be proven. It's clear that they have ballistic missiles. They're willing to shoot at all their neighbors. If they had nuclear-tipped warheads, they'd use them too.

If they had nuclear-tipped warheads and we dropped a nuclear bomb on them, they'd use them. Then they start nuking us. I mean, come on. We're preempting their reaction to the preemption that we just did. This is such an insane argument. Everything he just said was crazy. He just, the BBC anchor asked some point blank, hey, we have received no evidence that there was any imminent threat.

And he said, what, you mean at the BBC? Well, I received it from America. And America received it from me. And I think we both looked at our evidence. And we said, yop, yop, yop, yop, time to go in. That line, the phrase is this, you know, we've been shown no evidence. Shown to whom, the BBC? We've shown it to ourselves.

That is so insane. It is so crazy. He then goes on to explain that the proof that they are an imminent threat is that the Iranians fired ballistic missiles after they were attacked. This is, this logic only, I think, makes sense to somebody who believes it is illegal for any country that is attacked by either the U.S. or the Israelis. is not allowed to fight back. He believes that it should be illegal to fight back against them. And he shows it as an imminent threat because he says, yeah, when we hit them, they try to hit us back.

Clearly, we should not allow any country to exist in any region that has the ability to fight back. And that should make you pause for a moment to wonder what the real purposes are for this. war? I'm going to imagine that, I'm going to predict that within a couple of years, the U.S. foreign policy is going to be just on a rotating basis, bomb random countries to see if they have the capacity to hit back. Yeah. Make sure they don't, you know. I have a question. Please. Okay. So I'm going to say something that we're all thinking. And if the FBI is listening, I'm just joking because I'm a comedian. I love that. That's right. Why? And I don't support this happening.

No, of course. Why have, you know, these countries not bombed us since 9-11? And when is it going to happen? And is it going to be in D.C. or New York? I mean, these are all great questions. Or Boston. And is the reason why because they, you know, there's, what's the word? Not snipers, but the equivalent of that that can see, like, oncoming.

Like, what is the technology involved? Like the U.S. Iron Dome. I guess what I'm saying is that, well, I don't want anyone to die, it seems very likely and that there would be blowback. And also, we are the aggressors. We and Israel are the aggressors. Yeah.

We are the bad guys here. And so it would make sense, right? Did anyone know what I'm saying? And I have no involvement in any terrorist organizations. Yeah. I don't think it's illegal to ask that. question, by the way. Like, why haven't they...

If only to just make travel plans, you know, to know... Right, right, right, right. Right, right. Yeah. Yeah. But, like, doesn't that make sense? Also, like, they have nothing to lose. Like, they're, they are either going...

Iran is either about to... It's going to become a civil war or, you know, like Syria. I do think it's partly capacity. I mean, they're hitting Israel because they can. And Tel Aviv's taking significant damage, which they don't want us to know about, Except they want us to know that they're having Pourn parties in bomb shelters and

doing great or having gay sex parties as Daniel Ryan Spalding promised. I don't know if we want to play that video. Oh yeah. Lindy Graham's niece or nephew. Actually, I do have Daniel Ryan Spalding

talking about his sex parties inside of the fucking just and tonight in our bomb shelter for organizing a gay sex party. He found a bomb shelter with air conditioning. Very breathable, very comfortable.

The Iron Dome will protect us enjoying the power of raw, strong Israeli manpower. All right, I'm sorry, but... Do you think Sarin Gas could get in through that air conditioning? I'm just asking. Just parody. just curious. I mean, we'll see.

There comes a point now, and this is not me body shaming. I know that Dana Ryan Spalding went through a very powerful journey of losing a lot of weight, but he's gaining it back in alcohol bloat, and it's making me so happy. Who is that? Dana Ryan Spaulding is a... Why did I have to see him? Why did you show that to me? He is an influencer slash comedian.

Canadian. I very rarely put comedian in air quotes, but that's one I have to do for him, who became sort of a Hezbarist for Israel, who just, he's a paid Hezbarist. And he used to be about 300 pounds. Yes, yes. He had a, his first claim to fame was his weight loss journey,

and then it became him being someone who loves genocide. And he's not Jewish. No, no, no, no. He's not Jewish. He's a power goy. He's a power gai. He's a power gai. He really buried the lead there.

That part is insane. Yeah. People who go to Israel and aren't Jewish because it's like, so you didn't even have that indoctrination like the one that we had. Yep. Yep. Like birthright. Yeah.

Isn't that wild? That is crazy. And that fucker still has more rights than Muhammad al-Kurd. Yes. Yes. He does. What were you saying, Andrew? Yeah.

Oh, just like, you know, it's like when people convert to Catholic. and adulthood. They will never understand it. Right. They go from like no religion to like opus day. It's just like the, his whole thing is, is even more disgusting because he is pretty much said out loud that he is doing it for clout. He's talked up the amount of clout that he has gotten since then. And as a way to say, are you, are all you blue hair, you know, Islamists?

on college campuses, jealous because every time I tweet about Israel, I get more followers and more money and you're all going to stay poor. It's like very sad. But anyways, all that to say that he looks great. He just looks great. Yeah, he's even co-opting Jewish stereotypes. It's so on the nose. I love money. Come on.

Yes. Yes. Yes. He's, as opposed to being Jewish for the jokes. Yeah. He's Jewish for the tropes. He's pointing to the rain. He's like, I did that.

That's so great. We need to get him and Lindsay Graham together. Yeah. Oof, God. You know what smell crazy in there. You know what smelled crazy in there. But yeah, it is, I think, to your point, Daniel, do you remember what your point was with bringing in it?

When? How we got to Daniel Ryan Spalding. I don't even know how we got to. there. Bomb shelters, hitting Tel Aviv. Hitting Tel Aviv, that's right. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. They have the capacity. Right, yeah. But I appreciate the premise that I had a point. I appreciate that assumption that I had a point. So Trump, you know, to your point, Daniel, Trump is actually openly stated that when someone asked him, are you worried about there being blowback?

Is it possible that there could be some sort of blowback, a missile or whatnot, you know, comes to hit the United States? And he said, quote, I guess so. And that was just kind of how he dismissed it. It's like, yeah, I guess anything's possible. So to your point, Daniel, I do think that obviously Israel is receiving the blowback that you're talking about Andrea. I deserved it at that time. Did I do it right? No.

All right. And you really sounded like you did it and do it right on purpose. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. I didn't. I truly was scared to say it. I'm never going to get it right. It's fine.

Hey, I'm scared too. We're all scared. We're all on the same page. Israel is more used to it, I suppose, maybe prepare. They obviously are trying to pretend as if everything's fine. They have the Iron Dome and they're in pay. and everything's great, but clearly they are being pummeled, which is, yeah. He can't wait for the blowback, am I right?

He loves getting blown back. But the United States, though, is different. I mean, I think the targets that are chosen by the United States are all pretty obvious in that. The one thing they all share is their inability to have missiles that can reach the United States. I mean, it's one of the reasons why we have not actually gone to war with North Korea. Korea or China, you know, or had direct war with Russia. These are, as soon as a country actually has those capabilities, I think that we, that's when we go, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on a second.

So we were just joking. Yeah, exactly. I mean, and so. Which unfortunately validates the Cold War theory of, you know, deterrence by, you know, the whole arms race thing in a realest sense. That does seem to be the way the world works. Right. And this is why I've always been like, Iran, get a nuke, do it.

Like, there's nothing makes me feel more like, damn, the Rosenbergs honestly had a point. Like, history has vindicated Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were the USSR spies who were able to help them develop a nuke. Nothing vindicates them more than watching the way the United States deals with countries that don't have nukes, which is to bully them to the point of either getting in line with whatever U.S. foreign policy is, or just even if they are conceding just going, ah, we're going to fuck with you anyways, you know? So I... Because it was Trump's mentor, Roy Kohn, who got Ethel Rosenberg killed.

That's right. That's right. Yeah, I didn't even realize that connection. As dramatized in Angels in America. That's worse. God, so good. A fucking Al Pacino as Roy Kohn. That mini-series.

That's a case of... a Broadway play really being done right in the cinematic form by Mike Nichols. Merrill Streep. So fucking good, dude. Everyone's so good in that. Merrill Streep, she not only plays Ethel Rosenberg, but she plays like a Hasidic Jew at one point. She has the first, in the very first scene of the series.

Yeah, she plays a Hasidic Jewish rabbi. It's incredible, dude. Anyways, point being that. And a Mormon mother. Yeah, I know. She's so good in it. Everyone plays multiple roles. It's fantastic.

This Merrill Streep, you remember that name. She's going places. But yeah, I think the United States obviously has to do a lot of different propaganda in order to justify themselves. And one of the big mistakes that was mentioned earlier was Rubio essentially giving up the ghost and saying the reason for the war is because of Israel. We played it last week on the Patreon only episode. But I want to play this again for everybody because it was just such a, it was such a jaw-dropping moment for a lot of us, the fact that he just admitted what the imminent threat posed by Iran was. There absolutely was an imminent threat.

And the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked and we believe they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us. And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded. because the Department of War assessed. Stop it. You got Lindsey Graham on your brain. I know. We need to have like no Lindsay, like as an interjection, you know.

No Lindsay. If we did that, if we waited for them to hit us first after they were attacked, and by someone else, Israel attacked them. They hit us first. And we waited for them to hit us. We would suffer more casualties and more just. So, I mean, such a crazy thing to admit. And of course, it was immediately walked back by,

not only Rubio, but the president, by everyone. Everyone was walking back. Well, whoa, whoa. When I said out loud, there absolutely was an imminent threat. And that imminent threat was that Israel was going to attack. And we knew that the Iranians would attack back. Like, that is an insane thing to admit. Like, well, we knew that this was going to happen.

So what other choice did we have? Israel is a rabid dog and is going to do this and pull us into this war. But God damn it, we love that puppy. Oh, yeah, yeah. Just, listen, it might be rabid. It might be infecting everyone it sees. It might just be foaming at the mouth and drooling. But isn't it cute and little?

It's so sweet. And it's never once bit the hand that feeds it billions of dollars, except, you know, the U.S. Liberty. Right, I was going to say. Except for 9-11. I'm just kidding. But the... So much said, so much parody on this episode.

so many things being said that us and our guests don't actually mean. That's right. That's right. Yeah. We got you, Andrew. We got you. Don't worry. Yeah.

The imminent threat that they talked about there was, of course, walked back. And I don't know if you guys have seen this. I have, and I want to talk about it a little bit before we take a break. But one of the new Hasbara points that has come out about trying to make. make it. So no, no, no. Don't listen to Rubio. We are doing this for American interests. And so one of those Hasbar points has been this. This is some right-wing guy who, of course, is followed by, he's an American, he's followed by a bunch of Israeli accounts. He says, the U.S. gets 10% of its oil from the Middle East. China gets 55%. Do you realize who the real

target is yet, or do you still think it is a, quote, war for Israel? So this person, and I've seen this not only on the right, but I'll be real with you, I saw this pointed out on the left too, or by liberals, that no, actually, this is all a part of the U.S.'s's grand strategy of trying to do a proxy war against China by limiting the amount of oil that the Chinese get. this is a really this is a really funny bit of Hasbara to me because number one this that affects us way more than it affects China yeah the

you know trying to you know destroy their ability to get oil their ability to do manufacturing whatnot that hurts us we are so interdependent on China that the idea that this is an effective strategy against China is kind of ridiculous.

But beyond that, it being the new strategy of the right to be like, no, no, no, you're going to like this war because it's an anti-China war is such a funny point to make for people. I don't know. Well, there is one sense, there is one very disgusting and dark sense in which it's true. coming back to what Andrea said about just the thought of the acid rain, wind patterns are blowing those clouds over India, over the subcontinent, over towards west, western China. Right.

And I just wish for once that fucking winds would get with the program and blow west. Right. to where the culprits are, you know? Yeah. And if that meant hitting us, fuck it. Like, I would rather that than more poor brown and uninvolved countries who aren't guilty of this.

Like we and or Israel, and of course Israel would get hit first need to feel some kind of consequence for this or it'll never, ever, ever, ever change. And I'm not praying for that for myself or anyone I love. But God damn it. But Daniel, this is why I keep going back to, I really do think the Jews control the weather. There you go. That's right. Yep.

That's right. If they didn't, wouldn't the winds at some point head towards Israel? Think about that. Yeah, I always find that strange because Israel is right next to where they're bombing. But the videos I see, like the sky is always blue. aren't they also susceptible to what they're doing? Yeah, I mean, there were Israelis. Who was that, who was that, Hizbarist?

She was American. And she said, the only reason we shouldn't nuke Gaza is because. It was Bethany Mendel. Bethany Mendel, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The one who was all up in arms because her child's summer camp had a false alarm of Hamas fighters when it was actually just the local parachute club. Yeah, someone was paragliding.

And yeah, she had a connection. They evacuated all the kids to the Chara Rochel, you know, the dining room. But yeah, I mean, this other point about the China thing that I've seen, which really has annoyed me. And this is a message to liberals in the left that I need to make, which is like some people are saying trying to make. trying to make this point about it being part of a grand U.S. strategy, either because it's a part of the war against China or because it's just part of an imperial mindset or whatever, I need people on the left to stop shadow boxing with APEC. Because what they're trying to do is say, hey, don't fall into this anti-Semitic trope that we are doing this war for Israel. This is an anti-Semitic trope when really the United States knows perfectly well what it's doing. It's not doing it for Israel.

You know, it's doing it for its own geopolitical purposes. And I'm like, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, listen, I am all for the idea of, of course, that the United States is the fucking toughest motherfucker on the block. They are the number one fucking imperialist power in the world, bar none. That being said, this very particular incursion into Iran is 100% at the behest of the Israelis, to the point where Rubio gave up the fucking ghost accidentally, to the point where they essentially have not come up with a reason for why yet. The messaging is going in all directions because the actual message did not go over very well, which was, well, we did it because Israel was going to do this anyways.

We need to stop shadowboxing with people who are going to call you anti-Semitic. Number one, because it's like pedantic and stupid. And number two, because you are not fighting anti-Semitism by saying, hey, don't say this, we're doing this for Israel. You're legitimizing the Hezbarra claim that calling this war a war for Israel is anti-Semitic. It's not anti-Semitic to say that. Israel is a whole other country. Israel does not the representative of every Jew.

And yes, Israel has a powerful lobby and has ties within the American government that make it possible for them to convince a stupid motherfucker like Donald Trump to fucking go and join in on an invasion of Iran. That is, it is not. Yeah. Number three, I'm sorry, there is validity to the claim that there's a Jewish supremacist agenda to all of this, whether it's the Jewish Jewish supremacists or the Christian Zionist Jewish sub-sprimicists who want Jews. to be, you know, the leading tip of the spear to be discarded when the rapture comes. But I'm sorry. It's not some kind of strange innuendo that's not connected to some kind of reality, just like talking about, you know, going whatever.

Right, right, right. You're quoting the fucking Epstein's. You're quoting Israel. You're accurately, in a distorted way, but there's plenty of fodder for it. So deal with the fucking fodder rather than people's misguided or well-guided reactions to it. Right. I mean, I'm just saying in this particular case, it is very clearly this is for the sake of the Israelis. We have no goals.

There is no plan. Every single person who's a representative of the U.S. government has come up with a different reason for why this needs to happen. And different war aims. Rubio's latest statement. I think today said nothing whatsoever about degrading nuclear capability. All of a sudden, that's not on the table. It's not an issue. Never was.

Yeah, exactly. Because the reason there's the messaging is messed up is because there was no messaging. It was done because Trump was convinced to do it. That's it. That's as simple as that. And he was convinced to do it by Israel. Deal with it. What do you two think is the end goal?

Like, is it to just completely obliterate the, It is for Israel, it is to turn Iran into just a failed state. A failed state to make it just chaos there, where there's no particular government that's ever in control to create a civil war, to make sure that it is as unstable as possible so that they can continue to solidify their dominance in the region. Yeah, their regional hegemony is the goal. And for the United States, the goal is, given that we're now being run by absolute, you know, creating fueled lunatics and closeted psychopaths, the goal is to just create fear and chaos

and be the mad dog on the block and to get off. I mean, it's just hedonistic at this point as far as I can tell. Hegseth is just, he's just, for the first. fulfilling a lifelong fantasy. That's not really about geopolitical aims as much as it is about projecting power. And I got to say when I hear right winger, right wingers like say Saga and Jetty, I was listening to him on Tucker Carlson's podcast. Don't hate me, but I'm interested in what these people are talking about and how they're

framing it. That's how it starts. I know, I know. And I like the ads on, I like listening to Tucker's ad reads for, you know. For what? What does he do at? Free speech coffee or for, yeah. There was like a potato.

There was like a corn chip brand. Yeah. Gun chips. Yeah. But he does it in the exact same cadence. So like in the middle of one of his monologues, all of a sudden, the sound quality will change slightly, but it'll just be like, everybody knows that food is full of, there's a lot of inflammation now.

Right. obvious why you know whatever but there's a guy in Instagram who does a much better Tucker Carlson impression than me Tucker Carlson and Lord of the Rings I forget the guys. Oh, I love that guy.

He's very funny. But, you know, Sager and Jeddy's talking about how this is degrading our ability to project power in the world. You know, which oppose the war for whatever reason you want. Sure. But being nostalgic for the days

of American hegemony and the unipolar moment and the ability to project power and make people afraid or whatever, you're not going to get me on board with grieving for that. And I think that's what Heggseth thinks he's doing. He's upping the ante of America's ability to, but of course, Saugger's right,

it's going to backfire, it's going to blow back. As it always fucking does. But it's going to blow back in bigger ways than we've ever seen. When empires get this hubristic, it spells the end. Yeah, absolutely. Guys, we need to take a quick break

but everyone please stick around listen to these ads for gunships and we'll be right back and we're back this badass barra it's the world's most moral podcast here with andrea more how you doing Andrea still really good good good good good I'm doing good too we're all doing good you know who's not doing good uh Zoran mom dani he's turned New York City as Daniel knows into the new Iranian Revolutionary Republic. He has made, yes, there's daily snowball executions. Cops are being just murdered in the streets by gangs of children who are humiliating them with various snowballs. cops have been slipping on black ice and dying because of Mamdani.

How has New York been for you, Daniel, as someone who is now a demi status due to your Jewish heritage? Yeah, it's tough. And now that all the snow has melted and it's about 65 degrees, you know, I'm getting scared of all the kids coming out and putting little flower buds in cops' hair and spraying them with water. guns and all those kinds of terrorist terrorist activities. Terrorist caliphate activities. Yeah, no, it's okay. I'm getting used to a halal food truck only diet. It's a lot.

I can imagine. Chicken, biryani on rice is great twice a day. Three meals a day. I don't know. Too much. The call to prayer. Yeah, it's the Jewish tummy. That Jewish tummy. It's hard. Yeah, it's bad for the IBS. That's right, but...

It's IBF. Oh, yeah, sorry, IBF. Yeah, that's right. I love... Jeff to the Israeli butt force. It's just to... They ensure that our diets stay, you know, something digestible. Yeah, it's why those green shirts are that shade.

Exactly, because that's, well, you can fill in the rest. They are irritable. Yes, they sure are. So, yeah, New York obviously has Zoran Mamdani as their mayor, but not only that, but they have a first lady or whatever you call a mayor's wife. And she is being attacked by the free press and by... Not being attacked, Matt. She's being exposed. No, that's right. She's being held to account for her public statements against Israel, aka she, she's like some tweets on Instagram, and because likes are public on Instagram, Olivia Rheingold of

the Free Press found out about it and decided to make an expose of it. Here is CBS... A.k.a. journalism. This is journalism, folks. Well, that's what journalism is. CBS News posted out. New York City mayor, Zoran Mamdani's wife, Rama Dojee, liked Instagram posts that appeared to support the October 7th attacks on Israel. CBS News verified that Duaji liked one post from October 7th showing images of the attack and another one from the day after the attack showing images of anti-Israel protests in New York City.

When asked about the posts, Mamdani said his wife is a, quote, private person who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my city hall. I barely even know her, dude. I don't know her. We don't talk about politics. I don't pronounce her name. So, first of all, It was an arranged marriage.

We sleep in separate bedrooms. You know us Muslims. Yeah. Did you see John Puddhorst's tweet? No. I don't have a copy of it. Maybe Adam can throw it on screen and post. He tweeted, hey, Zoran, you know who else was a private person?

Ava Braun. Yeah. Which I love, you know, I love being so. detached. It's like, people say things like, you know who else was a vegetarian, Hitler, but being like, you know who else was private? It's like, I don't know, who, it could be anyone, Genghis Khan, you know, fuck off. But the free press, obviously, went all in on this line of attack to try to go after Zoron. And, you know, they're, I love how much, they're flailing.

Like, they're trying really hard to make his, you know, it's like he's no longer run. He already won. So there's nothing you can do except for stay mad. And they have a commitment to that. And I love how the free press, the free press is now the investigative wing of CBS News. Yeah, right, straight up. I mean, this is, honestly, you've pointed out something that is important to point out, which is that this is sort of an effective.

efficiency, a more efficient way of doing what they usually do to launder these kinds of stories through mainstream media. Usually what they do is they have a bunch of these bad faith actors. You know, these are publications like the Jewish insider or various different like... Or the Hollywood Reporter. I mean, Hollywood Reporter, sure. But it's usually, it's like these sort of smaller blogs that are essentially bankrolled by APEC and by, you know, pro-Israel groups. They create the story. And then if you have a critical mass of them, enough of them then get picked up by things like CBS News or whatever, you know, mainstream news outlet that says, hey, a lot of people are talking about how you're an anti-Semite.

Do you have a response? Well, they just made the free press and CBS News. You know, it's all owned by Barry Weiss. So she gets to do both at the same time. She gets to create the news and then report it on CBS. It is a beautiful, beautiful little self-fulfilling trope they got going on there. It's called Vertical Integration and it's great for shareholders. That is true.

Zora Mandani's wife, Ramaduaji, liked a post calling October 7th a mass rape hoax. That was only one of more than seven. 70 anti-Israel posts I found, liked by Mom Dani's wife. One post. I love, sorry. More than 70. That was Aziz Squirrel. That was Aziz Squirrel tweet, by the way.

Great account to follow. I love more than 70 that I found because it's like, well, first of all, give us an exact number. Second of all, is that before you gave up? Or is that the sum total of all the ones that you found? It is just, there's something about review. revealing your dedication to trying to find stuff to smear someone with, that is very funny to me. I just wish Olivia Rengald was, I wish the background was completely pitch black to match her top. And her eyes.

And her eyes. You joke, but she's literally in an Israeli bomb shelter right now. Yeah, exactly. It's incredible that she has this kind of lighting. Honestly, it's brave is what it is. But with the decolage or whatever that's called. the cut of her thing, it would just be this floating head, about 70% of which is lips, floating on top of a homantation.

It's because she's trying to pronounce, what was the word? Duwage? Focus. Oh, focused. Focused. Focused. Guys, let's stay focused on what Olivia Rangel has to say. October 9th, 2023, just two days after October 7th,

Characterize the terrorist attack. October 9th is just two days after, thank you for the, thank you for the math there. That's, you know, it's really, it's really fun to know that half of the shit she writes is chat GPT. That's one of the, it's one of the good ways to learn that. So they give you the math on how many days, nine is after seven. The terrorist attack as a different... Is that a common chat, GPT, like, just two days after... Oh, sure, it's filler, just like her lips.

It's filler. Yeah, yeah, it's more filler than her lips. That's how it works. Offensive action against a, quote, system of oppression. Many of the post-traffic in anti-Semitic themes, including Holocaust inversion. One post, liked by Duwashi, refers to a controversial Israeli prison as a, quote, concentration camp. Holocaust inversion. That's my, Holocaust inversion is my favorite yoga pose.

I can't do that anymore. I like that she's choosing to superimpose the tweets and posts because they're very cogent. Like these are all good excerpts. Yeah, why don't we back up and actually read them? That's a good point, Andrea. Let's look at the content of what she's showing. So when she's talking about, you know, system of oppression, yes.

Correct. So basically a post that's putting October 7th in the context of an occupied people, you know, rising up violently to try to throw off the shackles of their oppression, correct? Next one. All right. Next one is. A child's view from Gaza. Uh-huh. And so a child drew that. That's like an actual drawing, right? Yes. That's right. Yeah. It's a child's view from Gaza. There are books with children's art and children's poetry from Gaza, which she's calling an anti-Semitic trope. Those are the words she's saying while she shows that graphic.

Right, yeah, yeah. It's showing a child on the ground, hands up on the knees, and then a IDF soldier, you know, shooting them or pointing a gun at them. And that IDF soldier's nose doesn't appear to be too hooked. I don't see a Jewish star on it. It's a fairly restrained anti-Semitic trope, if it is one. Yeah. the siege on Gaza is all about resources.

Classic anti-Semitic trope. I love that as like, this is a, she did not think to at any point go like, well, maybe to the perspective of most normal people, these posts all seem kind of restrained and kind of true. Instead, she's so mired in this worldview that she has convinced herself. of so many dog whistles that her mind is, you know, proactively search and replacing words with worse words. That's right. So that when she reads stuff like that, like resources, you know,

it's already searched and replaced it to something anti-Semitic. But no one else's brain works like this unless you're a Zionist. And of course, Holocaust inversion is exactly what her side is guilty of. it would be, if anyone is. But like, have any, did any of the posts say, you know what, in light of October 7th, it was actually the Jews who committed a Holocaust against the Germans. Right. As far as I can tell, none of the posts say that.

Yeah, which is what actual Holocaust inversion might sound like. Right. This idea of Holocaust inversion is when you accuse the Jewish state of doing bad things to the Palestinians. It's like, it's not Holocaust inversion. And also, like, this, the, to take this to its logical conclusion, it would mean that Israel could actually kill six million Palestinians. And if you accuse them of doing a Holocaust, they'd still be like, damn, that's fucked of you to invert the Holocaust that way.

No, it's fucked up of you to invert the Holocaust that way. You're the one doing the Holocaust. You don't get to control how people talk about it. So this graphic here inside the black site at the heart of the Zionist entity, seeing what wasn't meant to be seen as a report on Steteman or one of these prison camps in the desert. Right, exactly. And Rama liked the post. This is from Reuters.

It's from a organization called Writers Against the War. So it's from an organization called Riders Against the War. So I just wanted to point out this isn't like a random Twitter account. This is an organization made of, made out of myriad writers. many of them are Jewish. Like, yeah, it's a legitimate, organic group. And speaking of groups legitimately against the war, the quote, quote, war, this idea that people went out on October 8th and October 9th to anti-Israel rallies

as if nothing had happened between the events of the morning of October 7th. And the afternoon of October 7th. As if no Israeli government official had sworn on the graves of the six million to kill another fucking 100,000 or more, to wipe out Amalek as if we weren't out in the streets on October 8th to actively, not to, we weren't trying to rub salt in the wound on October 7th. We were trying to raise the alarm about what was coming. Yes, yes, what was coming and what was already happening.

And this is what pisses me off about the revisionism. that you see from all of these psychopaths. And it's revisionism that is, was repeated for, by people who are not psychopaths, people who I knew personally who are, to this day, repeat the same fucking lie, which is that as soon as October 7th happened, everyone went out in the street and said, yay, I'm so glad that terrorism has happened to the Israelis. That is not what fucking happened. There were, of course, people who did talk.

about the Palestinians escape from Gaza in terms that could be, you know, seen as, I don't know, lauding them and whatnot for very good reasons, which was that they live in a fucking open-air prison and they escaped and did a prison break and people talked about it like, wow, that was amazing because anyone who's followed this for any period of time actually did think it was kind of incredible that they were able to pull that off, knowing that it. It was the most surveilled fucking area in the entire fucking world. That was exactly one half of my reaction. And the other half was, wow, I probably know some people on these kibbutzim, you know?

Yeah. Wow, that sounds scary and horrible. Wow, what a catastrophic event. Wow, this is going to change everything. And I was holding both of those things very capably at the same time. Yes. Like, wow, I wish this hadn't happened. I wish Israel hadn't created the conditions where this was.

inevitable. Wow, I can't believe it didn't happen sooner. But very, and I would have loved to hang out in that duality. I would have loved to have hung out in that place of empathy, compassion, in between this and ambivalence, right? But Israel made that absolutely impossible. And it would have been immoral to stay in that place, given what they were promising to do next, which was to magnify the suffering and the hell and the pain. They were already inflicting on the Palestinians every single minute of every single day for 20 years and much, much, much longer. Immediately after October 7th, the October 7th attacks and during, during the attacks, not just after, during when people were still, Ghazans and Palestinians were still on the kibbutzis

in some cases, Israel immediately started doing retaliatory attacks, including some that killed the you know the Israelis who were in these kibbutzs I mean we've talked about the Hannibal directive and whatnot that was also retaliatory because they were retaliating against their own people for being for being caught captives

and yeah right exactly victims and you know right but they were already on that day attacking through air strikes targets in Gaza so the idea that people are out on the streets immediately just doing a

celebration. No, it is not what they were doing. Everyone who knows about this issue, who was taking to the streets to talk about anything, they were talking about one thing in particular. It was, we need to stop what we know is going to be coming. What we know is going to be coming is this retaliation, quote unquote, against the people of Gaza and it will be genocidal. From the beginning, people were saying that. And people try to use that as an excuse as to like, oh no, you guys were making up lies about us from the beginning. It's like, no, we just knew how y'all do. That's it.

We know your stilo. I was at Grand Army Plaza, and I didn't hear any chance that said, nah, nah, nah, nah. Yes. It was not that vibe. Yeah. I was at a music festival. I didn't hear, same.

Were you really at a music festival? Nevertheless. Nevertheless, she persisted. During women's history, though. That's right. I like to say, I will stand awkwardly on the side of the dance floor, watching people dance again. Yes, that's right.

I will stand by the punchbowl again. Yeah, here we go. One post, liked by Duwashi, refers to a controversial Israeli prison as a, quote, concentration camp. I love that you admit that it's controversial. It's a controversy camp. It's not a concentration camp. It's a controversy camp.

Completely different. Also, what's controversial about it? You want to explain? Yeah. Can you go back to the section? She should explain why... Yeah. Yeah.

Is the Zionist black site, a concentration camp located 18 miles from the Gaza Strip. Palestinian men presumed to be part of the resistance are captured from Gaza by the I.O.F, blindfolded, handcuffed, humiliated and beaten by prison guards. Oh, they left out one verb. They left out one word. I guess it wasn't so well known back then.

Yes, yeah. Very specifically, the controversy she's referring to is the rapes that are done by the prison guards to the Palestinian prisoners. Rapes that have been widely reported, so much so that even the people of Israel and their courts in Israel have tried to at the very least, if not prosecute, say, hey, that's not good, guys.

And there have been freaking protests in front of Saitemann to stop people from arresting the rapists. That's the controversy, Matt. That's the controversy. Concentration camp. This is what the post says. The concentration camp has a singular aim to exterminate Palestinians and destroy their resistance. The mayor responded to a reporter's question on this yesterday, but that was before I uncovered 70-plus other posts for the free press.

You know, my wife is the love of my life, and she's also a private person who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my city hall. It's no secret that Diwaji, who's an illustrator, is a supporter of the Palestinian cause. Much of her artistic portfolio revolves around the war. in Gaza. What is new is the evidence suggesting her strong bias against Israel, which is depicted as evil, morally bankrupt and genocidal in the posts liked by Dowashi. That's nothing new. That's not new. You just said that's not new. What the Palestinian cause is.

Wait, yeah, this, that makes no sense. But that was before. It's not a scoop. I, I just think it's really. A lot of the people who are guilty of doing Hasbara, they're quite good at fearmongering. Sure. It's really noteworthy how bad she is at this. Like the playbook has been going on for a long time and she's maybe potentially radicalizing people or helping them understand what people who are anti-Zionists actually believe. Like, how are you so bad at this?

Do you know what I mean? Andrea, do you remember what her last big scoop was? I try to pay attention to her but no I don't it was that many of the children killed in Gaza actually had pre-existing

medical conditions Oh that was for The starving children Yes big scoop She found over 70 children I wonder how they got those conditions I wonder what entity was responsible For perhaps the

Yeah and I wonder what starvation does To compound those conditions Are you saying that Israel does not have the right to pre-exist. I'm just saying medical issues is a Jewish thing. That's our thing. We have the upset tummies. How dare you co-op?

How dare you co-op our pre-existing conditions? Our pain and discomfort. No, but like really stupid of her to, again, put the images on the thing. You can read them very clearly. And, you know, there's a way to do this where she doesn't do that. And she's just like, she is making Jews less safe. And instead, it's like, no, these are pretty, like, you didn't do anything here. Right.

No, no. And it's particularly impressive that she would say, you know, Duagia has a long history of, you know, talking about the Palestinian cause. But for the first time ever, we've uncovered her bias in that she is pro the Palestinian cause. I've got a I got to like hats off to Miss Reingold. I she can she continues to impress me in terms of how stupid she can get. I didn't know she could get worse than preexisting conditions or the real starvation. That is incredibly, incredibly beautiful. Well, speaking.

This is your strongest soldier. Like this is you're paying to do this. This is their first string quarterback. Yeah. Yeah. And you look insane. I mean. Yeah. I mean, she's just focused. Well, speaking of, you know, just flopping and reacting to absolutely nothing, we have one more little tidbit to finish the show. That's right.

Which is so delicious. We're going to end with this. Folks, there's a stereotype that Jews are not athletic. Okay. Yeah. And I want to show you a new Jewish soccer. star although it's in europe so it would be football but this guy has the fucking chops he's got the skills yeah he's got the basic fundamentals down that's right and he'd be an asset to any european

football club or israeli for that matter that's like he's that's right he's the new rinaldo uh this is out of uh out of nice uh in france um where there was a um some sort of uh pro-palistine demonstration and then we meet our newest our newest Jewish athlete hero. Here we are. This is slow motion. Stop. For those of you who are listening,

what we just saw was a unfortunately stereotypically Jewish-looking man. Yes, a conservative Jewish man. He's wearing a Kippa, and he is confronting some activists, and out of nowhere he pretends to have been struck and or I'm not sure what he's pretending. It morphs, because the first thing he like gets alarmed at seeing something, Right. Like that's what it is like he points and he recoils and he runs away and it takes about three or four steps. And I love that this is a slow motion.

Yeah. And then he realizes, wait a minute, I have to fake being injured and that's when he doubles over and clutches his stomach. Let's play it again. You'll see where his tactic changes. All right, here we've got instant replay. And right here he decides, oh wait, oh, the cops are he going towards the police clutching himself in different spots. And the thing is the police do absolutely nothing.

And then a woman comes by, a woman with a shopping bag comes by, says, Vuele leases tranquil, which means, would you please leave him alone? Please leave him alone. That's great. embarrassed himself enough. Yeah, I love that that's his wife and it's just like, he's sorry. He'll calm now and after the Palestinian flags get put away. He'll be fun.

Maybe he just got that scene. Yeah, oh, that's right, jab. Remember those videos of people who are like shaking? It reminds me of that. Like filming themselves. Yeah, this is the new jab shake. Yeah, the jab shake. Oh, man. I love that.

He's, he is like, the greatest thing was that he is flopping towards the cops. And then at some point he realizes the cops are not going to stop him or like hold him. And so he just continues flopping away. Like, he just continues flopping past them. Into the sunset. Into the sunset. The cops are like, oh, geez. Now we've got to deal with this shit.

That is... It does make me think about, you know, like during the campus protest, like how the cops were so on the side of the Zionists. But I do wonder if every once in a while, they're like, do they have to be so Jewish? I know. I know. It is, like, you have to understand how embarrassing this is for the Jewish people, I would say.

Like there's this constant, I always thought it was a really funny thing to make fun of right-wing Nazis online would say shit like the Jew shrieks in pain as he strikes you. And I would laugh at it because I was like, that's such a funny, it's a funny way of talking about. Because I feel like that was my strategy against my older brother in order to get, you know, it was like my preemptive strike was to get my parents to yell at him. before he started attacking me, so I would shriek and strike. To live up to that. I saw the Marko-Rubovio press conference on that. Yeah, exactly. He made a whole press conference about how we do.

Like, to actually do that in real life as an adult is so fucking embarrassing that I, uh, I, I just can't. We got to, we got to do something, guys. We got to stop. We got to have like a conference call with, uh, with our people. Yeah. We've got a we've got to do something. We need a we need a we need a solution that will last. Yes. To the way these Jews are making us Jews look bad. No, an internal solution. Yes, yes. An internal solution. You know, we'll take care of it, you know. Oh, God. We're taking it back. We're taking it back. That's right.

We're reclaiming. We're reclaiming solutions. And you know what? Listen, I'm a non-intervant. interventionist at heart, but we need just a quick intervention here. Stop doing the stereotypes. It is killing us. Peoplewide intervention. Oh, well, that's been a podcast. Andrea Moore, thank you so much for coming on and speaking with us here at Bethasbarra. Thank you so much.

Where can people find you? Where can people follow you, all that stuff? They can find me on Instagram and I guess Twitter as well, A Moore underscore or less. and also check out my N-plus-1 piece on having an Israeli father and genocide and skin cancer. The link for that is no longer behind a paywall in my bio. Oh, wonderful. We'll put in the show notes. Yes, we absolutely will.

So please every- No, and my dad refused to starting at like age 23. Nice. But you can read all about it in the story. Check it out. It'll be in the show notes. So click on that, read that, and follow Andrea wherever she is on social media, not in real life. By the way, I just want to say for those who've been watching, that child's guide to patriotism record behind me, that's ironic.

I put that up there ironically. I don't want anyone. I think people, at this point, if anyone accuses you of anything, you can just ignore them. One more instance of satire on this book. That's right. Any press is good press. That's true. Unless it's from the free press.

That's right. That's a bad press. And thank you, everyone, out there, for listening to another episode. Patreon.com slash badassbara. Baddhastbarra at gmail.com for all your questions, comments, and concerns. All right, everyone. Thanks again for listening. And until next time, from the river to the sea.

Zut alor, that imaginary protestor tried to murder me. That got kind of Israeli by the end, but fair enough. Let's be honest. Us. Push-ups was us. Got ma-gah us. All karate us. Taking Molly us. Michael Jackson us.

Yamaha Keith's endless red success.
