No Agenda - 1600 - "Unpack It"

Starting point is 00:00:00 Adam Curry, John C. Devorah. It's Thursday, October 19th, 2023. This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media Assassination episode 1600. This is no agenda. Celebrating Sweet 16 and broadcasting live

Starting point is 00:00:16 from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where summer's finally here. In October, I'm John C. Devor Northern Silicon Valley, where summer's finally here. In October, I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill

Starting point is 00:00:29 in the morning. Yeah. We did it once again. Happy anniversary, John. Happy anniversary. Happy anniversary to all the producers. Well, it's not really the anniversary. It's the 1600th. It's kind of an anniversary.

Starting point is 00:00:48 It's 1600 shows. It's our anniversary week. Anniversary week. And we celebrate with our... Oh, that's a really bad horn. Something's wrong with that horn. This is going off the rails. Do you remember...

Starting point is 00:01:04 There's a real one here somewhere. Do you remember? I think the real one here somewhere. Do you remember when I wanted to quit at episode 100? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it went like this. Well, we got to show 100. I think it was a good run. We had a good run. And then you were like. And my comment was, what, are you nuts?

Starting point is 00:01:22 No, you said, come on, son, stick with it. I'll make you rich. I'll make you leave your wife rich. And I left my wife, but I didn't get rich. Yeah. Uh-huh. You remember? You said that.

Starting point is 00:01:35 I don't remember any of it. I just remember that it wasn't going to happen. What wasn't going to happen? That you're going to quit on show 100. No. No, you wouldn't let me. You wouldn't let me. You're a pushover.

Starting point is 00:01:49 No, you even got Mimi on the phone and got her to convince me. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. What do you mean? I remember this. You got to keep doing this show, Adam. No, that's not the way she said it. She said, please, I got to keep John busy.

Starting point is 00:02:05 Please keep doing the show. Well, that's always possible. And I realized, you know, 1,600 episodes and still people just, you know, we've taught them nothing. They're all spun up in the world. Everybody's all crazy. Right. 1,600 episodes of futility it's it seems that there you go that that is it how utility show title futility let me write futility

Starting point is 00:02:36 it's unbelievable it really is you know it's like i mean all war is bad but we've been through so many wars on this show this one seems particularly polarizing uh you know you have to choose a side you got to have an opinion you got to let that opinion be known that's for sure got to let that opinion be known. Actually, I got a nice email from Tom. I have an opinion. What's your opinion? And I have clips to go along with my opinion. Can I read this quick email from Tom?

Starting point is 00:03:13 Yes, read, please. Tom says, you know, I started listening. I started NA after you were on Glenn Beck. I haven't missed one since. Stop, stop. What? Is this a nasty email? No, no, it's not.

Starting point is 00:03:23 No, it's the opposite. It's a birthday. Oh, I was hoping for a nasty email. No, no's the opposite. It's her birthday. I was hoping for a nasty email. No, people stop doing that. They go, I don't want my email read. Oh, you're going to read it? I don't know. No, the one person who sent me that short note, like, I'm done,

Starting point is 00:03:39 then comes back and sends me. Did not everybody get that? That was Eric, wasn't it? No. Did not everybody get the 10-minute video of Hamas violence? I mean, that thing went viral, has been pushed real hard. People just sending it to me, no subject. Here, have a look at this.

Starting point is 00:04:01 What do you call that? It's like, yeah, I see horrible things. Thanks. I see horrible things thanks i call it i see horrible things although actually before you start before you start something someone pointed something out in that 10 minute video this is the video where ultimately i think that one the guy who's filming it gets shot and dies you've seen that one haven't you that that's part of this 10 minuteminute compendium.

Starting point is 00:04:27 I guess you haven't. Do we know for a fact that he got shot and died? No, we don't know anything. Of course we don't. As long as we got that straight. But in this video, the filmer of the video is holding an RPG at the beginning

Starting point is 00:04:41 and then... Where did that appear from? I wonder where that RPG came from. It looked like a video game at the beginning and then uh funny where did that appear from oh yeah i wonder where that rpg came from and it looked like a video game at the beginning it's totally looked like a video all of these shots with the gopro cams look like a first person shooter which if not intentional certainly is triggering a lot of gamers like hey this is a cool game so he's on the back with his rpg and one of our military people pointed out that there's a term used right after the rpg guy jumps the fence i guess that would be part of the security checkpoint see if you can hear this at a certain point the word send it send it, send it are used.

Starting point is 00:05:35 Send it, send it. Yeah. According to this, our military person here, boots on the ground, says that is completely American terminology for firing off the RPG. Send it, send it. He says there's no similar word in Arabic. I think it sounds kind of like an American accent when you hear it. And his final quote was, we'll be attacking Iran in five days.

Starting point is 00:06:00 This is us. I don't know about that. But I just thought it was interesting. The send it, send it was in there. It's just part of the whole thing. Part of the whole thing. Exactly. I think the Iran thing is the right pick. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:14 So here's just this one line from Tom. I always listen to Ben Shapiro every day as well. See, this is what happens. My goodness. Ben Shapiro. Wow. Shapiro needs to listen to our show. He did a week of obviously pro-Israel and reality on the ground

Starting point is 00:06:31 as he was receiving photos and texts from friends and family who were there. I have to admit, I was twisted around the axle when y'all didn't take a side. But that's not your gig. I stayed with you through 1598 and then 1599 after listening to John's gig on Trump. BB hosed us and Hezbollah ain't dummies. And how perverse and twisted they, PBS, NPR, are reporting on Trump.

Starting point is 00:06:56 I got up out of the chair, went to my 21-year-old daughter and told her, don't believe anything ever. It's all a scam. So we've saved not just this one guy, but his daughter as well. Well, we saved him for the moment. That's the issue. Yes, you're right.

Starting point is 00:07:12 Momentarily. There's so many good people who stuck with us through COVID, even could handle Ukraine. And then this one. Oh, no. No, checking out now. Checking out. You guys are glib cavalier laughing at death and destruction. Well.

Starting point is 00:07:30 Well, what can I say? What can I tell you? We're laughing at the reportage, not the death and destruction itself. The reportage. The tête-à-tête. The rapprochement. Shush. All of this.

Starting point is 00:07:41 All of this stuff. And we are also here to calm you right we're calm we're we intend to have a calming effect on you to relevate what is happening because you're in it you're affected you're deeply affected by these videos deeply. Yes. So I have a lot of clips. Yeah, I see it. There's overlap. So I'll just let you go. I want to do my main... I'm not going to... Well, maybe we can start with the

Starting point is 00:08:15 summaries that are NBC. I think it's NBC. I gave it top summary NBC. Well, if you do a summary... But I want to jump right from these summaries right to the thesis that we're going that iran's a target on proof oh you have proofs oh you're like q you got proofs i have proofs proofs but let's stop stop let's stop where do we stop stop the war where yes where do we stop let's stop with let's start with top summary NBC one. Today, President Biden was here in Israel standing with its people in the face of tragedy. Well,

Starting point is 00:08:52 across the Arab world, anger raged protests from the Mideast to Europe. Some aimed at the U.S. over the deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital that Palestinian health authorities say killed hundreds and claimed Israel is the culprit. President Biden, however, coming to Israel's defense. I just want to stop here for one second. It's amazing that even our own no agenda nation are just going ape crap over the hospital. Do you not see the whole point is to divide? Oh, it's this.

Starting point is 00:09:28 Oh, no, it's that. It's got to be this. It's got to be them. It's got to be him. The other team, this team, that team, that team. Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah. That's the whole point of the thing, people. That's the whole point is to get you to do that.

Starting point is 00:09:41 And we're falling for it. Saying he was deeply. I actually think it's got a bigger point than that. Oh, I'm sure. President Biden, however, coming to Israel's defense, saying he was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion before declaring it appears as though it was done by the other team. Blaming the explosion on a failed rocket launched by terror group Islamic Jihad. Israel offering what it says is evidence it was not responsible. But pictures of children in Gaza being rescued from the rubble of airstrikes,

Starting point is 00:10:11 only hardening positions as the American president sought to calm tensions over the October 7th attacks here and avert a humanitarian disaster in Gaza. But the diplomatic ground shifting beneath the president's feet as he traveled here from washington to a war zone overnight as arab leaders were dropping out of a planned summit meeting on the crisis here's where we start tonight i love i love all the military industrial complex dudes showing up all gray hair you know some of them in a suit someone just let me put on the uniform and explain explaining okay this is how a rocket works this is why it was a hamas rocket it's like they just oh no no no no no let me explain how this works people we have proofs yeah that summit that kind of gets snowed under was Was Biden seriously thinking that he would have some kind of summit that

Starting point is 00:11:06 wouldn't be disturbed by, I don't know, a rocket. The, uh, the rocket attack took place. This is all very convenient by the way. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:16 The rocket attack took place while he was in the air. Yeah. He had already, the summits were all arranged. Yeah. So he's going to meet here and there. He's going to go to Jordan. He was going to meet this guy and that guy and so do you have a summit clip?

Starting point is 00:11:31 no, well I don't I have an angle summit clip, just to explain who was supposed to be there it might be helpful because I got angle stuff tied into my thesis you're driving, you're driving well I'm only driving so far you are holding on take the wheel.

Starting point is 00:11:45 You are holding on to the wheel right now. Do not take your hands off it, Stevie. Just a little background, because I thought this was not well explained anywhere, but of course, Richard Engel did. I want to briefly turn to Richard, who's along the West Bank there, on this issue of the summit that was not because of this hospital explosion at the complex the hospital complex in gaza this this plan to meet with the leaders of egypt the palestinian authority as well as the king of jordan fell apart do you notice hold on a second do you notice they all call it an explosion oh yeah yeah yes instead of an attack or rocket. Because that's the message that they've been given their talking point. By the way, I should mention, as you play this clip, I'm going to I have a backup clip to prove it.

Starting point is 00:12:33 NBC's all in on the fact that Israel did the bombing. Oh, MSNBC is off the hook with that plan to meet with the leaders of Egypt. The Palestinian Authority, as well as the King of Jordan, fell apart. with the leaders of Egypt, the Palestinian Authority, as well as the King of Jordan, fell apart. And the mission of that meeting, Richard, was to try to stop this from becoming a wider conflict. In the minute or so we have before the president speaks, what are the prospects of that now? Well, now, well, it was a disaster. There was supposed to be this peace summit with U.S. allies, Mahmoud Abbas, the moderate leader of the Palestinians, in contrast to Hamas, the leader of Egypt, the king of Jordan.

Starting point is 00:13:09 But after this hospital attack, those in attendance decided, in their words, that it would not be productive to hold the summit. Now, this is interesting, because here you hear Engel clearly saying, not explosion, after this hospital attack. So he is definitely not leaving any room for it to be a Hamas failed rocket launch. So there's backing up your NBC thesis. Palestinians felt that they could not be there. We had Mahmoud Abbas walk out of this meeting, leave Jordan, that they could not be seen standing next to President Biden, who's done nothing but support Israel, give a full personal support, expressing support of the United States, is giving military support to Israel, sending weapons here. There are U.S.

Starting point is 00:13:56 military advisors on the ground. These leaders felt at this time, after this incident, which, as Kelly was just describing, are under disputed circumstances, couldn't be there standing next to the president. Hey, man, wasn't NBC owned by GE at one point? Am I am I am I mistaken that? No, you're not mistaken at all. Yeah, because they would not have done this. This report back when GE owned them. I wouldn't think so.

Starting point is 00:14:19 No military industrial complex company corporation. All right. Back to your thesis. I'm sorry. I just needed to. Well right, back to your thesis. I'm sorry. I just needed to... Well, no, you want to interrupt all you can. Just to go... That takes me a little bit aside.

Starting point is 00:14:33 I want to play. I want to jump the clips there, and I want to go to this one, because you just played that... Clip jump. That clip. I'm jumping the clip. This is the hospital. NBC takes side with jordan um yes i got it here i got i got it today announcing egypt's president will allow 20 trucks of aid into gaza what he

Starting point is 00:14:57 would do is open the gate a planned summit with arab leaders in in Jordan was scrapped after the hospital explosion, and the announcement that Palestinian leader Abbas would not attend. Was there important work, though, that didn't get done, the fact this summit didn't take place? A lot of important work. I mean, the only item on the agenda right now is to stop this madness and stop the killing that civilians are paying the utmost price. Tonight, I spoke with Jordan's foreign minister, Eamon Safadi. As you know, President Biden, the U.S., they take the position that this was not an Israeli strike,

Starting point is 00:15:37 but the result of other Palestinian militants. Do you believe that to be the case? Sir, nobody's buying that narrative in this part of the world. In reality, the Israeli army is not very credible in this part of the world as well. The only way that people would entertain a different narrative is if there is an independent international inquiry into the tragedy that has happened, with impeccable evidence that it was it was not Israel. Yes. Send in the blue helmets. We need an investigation. Go to this clip now, which is hospital video timestamp.

Starting point is 00:16:19 Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. President Biden's in Israel hours after Palestinian officials accused Israel of killing at least 500 people at Gaza's Al-Ahly Baptist Hospital in an airstrike. In addition to treating sick and wounded patients, the hospital was acting as a refuge for displaced Gazans fleeing Israel's unrelenting attacks. This is Mohammed Al-Nakha, a doctor at Al Ahli Hospital. There was no warning before the hospital was targeted. There were about 3,000 people who were taking shelter here. While we were working at the hospital and without any warning, around 6.30 p.m., the hospital was targeted by shelling. We didn't know what it was, but we found out what it can do after it targeted children who were cut into pieces. Gaza's health ministry said Israel told the

Starting point is 00:17:11 hospital it had sent warning strikes one day before the deadly explosion. The UN has called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire amidst international condemnation over the attack. fire. Amidst international condemnation over the attack, Israel's denied responsibility blaming a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket. Israeli officials appeared to have deleted a video posted on social media showing Palestinian rockets being fired after realizing the time stamp on the footage did not match up with a hospital attack again whatever you do make sure you do forensic investigations on this hospital attack please let's keep that going people this is good keep everybody occupied and let's and one more on this one more along this lines along these lines and then i want to have one comment then i want to get to the

Starting point is 00:18:03 clips i'm ready i'm waiting for you hospital to biden canceled opinion a planned trip to jordan as part of president biden's visit to the middle east was canceled in the wake of the hospital bombing biden said he was outraged by the attack which constitutes a war crime but sided with israel as he made remarks alongside prime minister ben Netanyahu earlier today. I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday. And based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you. Many have pointed out that militant groups in Palestine do not have the firepower to level a massive building. Israel has a history of lying about its responsibility in crimes against Palestinian civilians,

Starting point is 00:18:54 including the murder of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh last year, which it initially blamed on Palestinians. Israel apologized a year after her death. Man, did Amy just say those Jews be lying? Is that what she just said? Wow. Yeah, well, don't forget, Qatar is lurking in that operation.

Starting point is 00:19:15 Gutter, gutter, gutter. Get it right. Gutter, gutter. Yeah. All right, take us back to the... Okay, so let's go to... Now I want to go to... Let's go to... This is... My thesis is I'm going to begin with one, two, three, four, five clips, which kind of indicate that we are, we sent the two carrier groups, strike forces.

Starting point is 00:19:38 Strike force. To the areas. We are going to, and the last two on the list of the West Clark 7 are Lebanon. Lebanon and Iran. Iran. So we are prepared. We have everything else, right? We've got every other one, including Sudan.

Starting point is 00:19:52 I think so, more or less. We've got Sudan. We've got Syria. Well, Syria, come on. We can do Syria. We've got Syria. But which brings us back to those hospitals. Now, who benefited from the hospital strike?

Starting point is 00:20:07 Who benefited? That's what you maybe logically figure out who did the hospital strike by figuring out who benefited. Okay. And on the surface, it seems as if the beneficiary were the Arabs because they get to use it as a talking point. Yes, like they killed children. Right. to use it as a talking point yes like they killed children right but on the other hand if israel doesn't want any peace whatsoever and they've been talking it was saber rattling about iran the whole time wouldn't it make more sense for them to do it let the arabs you know chirp

Starting point is 00:20:40 about it and then meanwhile plan to trigger iran into doing something stupid so we since we got two strike forces there we have to now we we the united states no have to put boots on the ground or is there anyone into who would indicate this kind of get maybe give us a heads up because we look for him for kind of information that comes from the sources. Let's go to Richard Engel one. Oh, I'm sorry. I was Richard Engel one. Yes. Here we go.

Starting point is 00:21:10 Spook Ahoy. This is the explosion that has shaken the Middle East. New video shows that deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza City that reportedly killed hundreds and sparked protests from Iran to Yemen to Lebanon, where demonstrators directed their anger against the United States, Israel's main backer. Security forces in Beirut used water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds outside the U.S. Embassy. The United States pulled out of its wars in the Middle East, but now could be heading back into one.

Starting point is 00:21:52 In the West Bank, Palestinians today dragged out the barricades and slung rocks at Israeli soldiers. There weren't many, mostly teenagers. Israeli troops kept their distance, but when the stone throwers got too close, the soldiers opened fire, sending medical crews rushing in. And here's one more injured being taken away. Israelis are picking them off with what appears to be rubber bullets at this stage. No one was seriously injured here today,

Starting point is 00:22:31 but a new generation of Palestinians is taking to the streets. While Israel and Hamas are blaming each other for the hospital explosion, a new Palestinian uprising could be starting. Today, our crew filmed at the Gaza hospital site and saw families collecting what they could from the debris. All right, you rang your bell twice. A couple of hints there. There's going to be, they're using rubber bullets now. For the time being.

Starting point is 00:22:56 And the hint before that was there's going to be a wider war, but he gets a little more specific here in clip two. Iran, which backs both Hamas and Hezbollah, is working to fan the rage even further. Iran's president calling on Muslim nations to isolate Israel, impose an oil embargo, and bring revenge. And Richard, the size of those crowds you're seeing does say something about the impact of this hospital explosion. It may. There were not millions of people on the streets across the Arab world. But I can tell you, Lester, there are real and growing concerns here that this is heading toward a regional war.

Starting point is 00:23:37 Lester. Regional war in the region. So now we go to we go to the clip that's there. I have a bunch of clips about all the protests all over the region. So now we go to the clip that's... I have a bunch of clips about all the protests all over the place, but this is the one that relates to this thesis. Protests in Iran. Yes, and this has been going on. Protests in Iran.

Starting point is 00:23:57 The whole country. Yes. There were also protests against Israel and the U.S. in all major cities across Iran. President Ebrahim Raisi spoke at a rally in Tehran where he warned the situation in Gaza risk spiraling out of control and said aid must be allowed in. Dorsa Jabari was there. It's been a day of solidarity with the Palestinian people across Iran as a number of rallies took place in all the major cities across the country. It was declared a day of mourning by the government. And in the demonstrations here taking place in Tehran,

Starting point is 00:24:29 the Iranian president, Ebrahim Raisi, made an appearance and delivered a speech during which he condemned the Israeli aggression. And he also blamed the United States. And they raised the black flag. Black flag. You know about the black flag? I didn't get the black flag. Oh, yeah, they raised the black flag. Black flag. You know about the black flag? I didn't get the black flag. Oh, yeah, they raised the black flag.

Starting point is 00:24:49 Yeah, that means it's time to go crazy. So they're going to go crazy, and they said, you know, they want us to, you know, the Palestinians have got to get support. They've got to get relief. They've got to get relief. Stuff has got to go in there. And so there's been hemming and hawing, and now they're working on the road. They still haven't gotten it clear. And all of this is going on, and it seems to be a very triggering thing about the fact that we're really not doing anything for the Gaza people.

Starting point is 00:25:23 And we're maybe not doing it on purpose just to get these Iranians worked up. We really, this is a war that's got to happen, have to happen. And here's the unreported, this story is unreported in the mainstream media. And it makes zero sense unless you're trying to cause trouble. This is the unreported story about one of the vetoes that we did in the UN. In the UN, I know. This was great. While insisting they were working to get aid into Gaza.

Starting point is 00:25:53 Those against? The United States, standing alone, blocked the Security Council from passing a resolution that would do just that. And our ambassador to the United Nations, I forget her name, she's just sitting back like, raise my hand. I got a veto here going on. Did you see that? She wasn't like engaged. She was just leaning back. Yep, I'm against and we got a veto. The U.S. ambassador insisted that the draft was incomplete. The United States is disappointed this resolution made no mention of Israel's rights of self-defense. Like every nation in the world, Israel has the inherent

Starting point is 00:26:33 right of self-defense as reflected in Article 51 of the UN Charter. The resolution did condemn Hamas's October 7th attack and the taking of civilian hostages, as well as demanding pauses in the fighting for aid deliveries. After several days of negotiations, 12 council members voted for it, many pointing out that civilians, humanitarian workers, and medical facilities must be protected under international humanitarian law. Now, she blocked it because it's already in the UN Charter that everyone has a right to self-defense, but it had to be reiterated in this proposal.

Starting point is 00:27:14 Are you kidding me? So it's a technicality. Yes. And so she puts a veto in for that reason. I don't have this clip, but right afterwards, the Brazilian guy who put this forward, he went on and on and on about how well, you know, this thing was researched, this proposal. And the fact that the United States stood alone to veto it is just a triggering mechanism. Now, I do have the one which indicates to me that we're going to war with iran if we can yes we need now some more well we'll get to that in a minute yes something

Starting point is 00:27:52 more has to happen but it's obviously in the cards and this brings us back to the west clark seven and the trump memo where the preparation for the iranian attack has already been in play and it took place during the trump administration he has a copy of it without his knowledge yeah with something like that so uh the only thing that's kind of a kicker it's not uh much of a backup for this but the russians caught wind of what we're up to and so And so they're trying to pull a kind of a fast one the way we do it. And this is the unreported USA veto aid to this clip to many members of the Security Council vowed to keep working towards consensus and a resolution. But Russia, taking a page from the West's playbook, suggested they bring the issue to the general assembly instead for a vote

Starting point is 00:28:45 where no country has veto power all right all right that's cute yeah way to go well um so not to move back a little bit um before the bumbling biden showed, the other team, which the other team is a very annoying, I could probably obsess over that choice of descriptor for a long time. What is it? Red team, the blue team, what does that even mean? Why did you use that? What's wrong with you, you old man? This is nuts. Sorry to be ageist, but that that's nuts but last week on 60 minutes our president was much more coherent they got him jacked up maybe it was the other guy i don't know uh but he had a message for iran last week rarely does a president confront so much peril the catastrophe in israel the war in ukraine and no help from a paralyzed congress. Mr. Biden will be 81 next month,

Starting point is 00:29:45 and he has said that when he's tired, his lifelong stutter can creep back in. There are about 2 million people in Gaza. As you know, Mr. President, 2 million people trapped, about half of them are children. Are you asking Israel to establish a humanitarian corridor in that area

Starting point is 00:30:03 or get humanitarian supplies. Yes, our team is talking to them about that and whether there can be a safe zone. We're also talking with the Egyptians, whether there is an outlet to get these children and women out of that area at this moment. Not that jacked up. You would like to see a humanitarian corridor that allows some of the two million Gazans out of the area? Yes. You would like to see humanitarian supplies brought into Gaza?

Starting point is 00:30:39 Yes. So you do not agree with the Israeli total siege of the Gaza Strip? I'm confident that Israel is going to act under the major rules of war. There are standards that democratic institutions and countries will go by. And so I'm confident that there's going to be an ability for the innocents in Gaza to be able to have access to medicine and food and water. There's limited fighting already on the northern Israeli border. And I wonder what is your message to Hezbollah and its backer, Iran? Set up, set up. Don't, don't, don't. Don't. Don't come across the border. Don't escalate this war.

Starting point is 00:31:27 That's right. All right. So when you say don't, that means come on, do it. Do it. We want to go. We need that. We need it to start. Come on, do it by saying don't. And and then the most remarkable, most remarkable. A statement from the president. And you say he's not that jacked up. This is jacked up for this Joe right now. I mean, the guy was brain dead in Israel. I have three clips. Wait, let me play the second part.

Starting point is 00:31:58 No, not now. I want to play the Biden in Israel clips when we get the chance. Because it's like, wow. Yeah, we'll get there. Are the wars in Israel and Ukraine more get the chance. It's like, wow. Yeah, we'll get there. Are the wars in Israel and Ukraine more than the United States can take on at the same time? We're the United States of America, for God's sake. Oh, there you go.

Starting point is 00:32:15 We're the United States of America. The most powerful nation in the history, not in the world, in the history of the world. Oh. The history of the world. Oh, part two. How do these wars in Israel and Ukraine relate to the safety of the American people? Overwhelmingly, they relate. For example, in Ukraine, one of my objectives was to prevent Putin, who has committed war crimes himself, from being able to occupy an independent country that borders NATO allies and is on the Russian border.

Starting point is 00:32:53 Imagine what happens now if he were able to succeed. Have you ever known a major war in Europe we didn't get sucked into? We don't want that to happen. We want to make sure those democracies are sustained. And Ukraine is critical in making sure that happens. Why do you feel so strongly? What does Israel mean to you?

Starting point is 00:33:14 It's almost like you're asking a seven-year-old, what does Israel mean to you, Timmy? Totally. The Jews have been subject to abuse, prejudice, and attempt to wipe them out for over a thousand years. For me, it's about decency, respect, honor. Yeah. Dignity. It's just simply wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It violates every religious principle i have in every way and every single

Starting point is 00:33:45 principle my father taught me yeah bringing the old dad so it's this is what's so interesting we have a situation now where we are funding nazis in ukraine and we're caught i mean seriously yeah that's it's it's you know it's like it's the dichotomy is crazy the way yeah but what we're seeing and this is important in in light of him being 81 etc and and generally the octogenarians in in our government and many older people around the world this is generational and i think israel has lost the moral war. I mean, this is what you're seeing. I'm not saying it's right or wrong,

Starting point is 00:34:30 but, and this probably comes back to the loneliness op that we identified. Hey man, I got something, there's more victims. I can go out on the street and I can protest. It's like Black Lives Matter all over again. Yo, pro-Palestine, screw you, Israel. This is a problem that I think the Biden administration and probably all governments are not identifying properly.

Starting point is 00:34:52 Your people do not agree with this anymore. The vocal people, the people that you sent out for George Floyd. Yep. All over the world. Same people. It's exactly the same people. Exactly the world people although it's exactly the same people exactly the same people now on top of that i'm sorry we do not have the fighting force i don't even think you know whoa igf they're the best ever no i don't think so they're not used to this what hamas and hezbollah

Starting point is 00:35:21 would they have they have been training in real war, real fearless killing for a long time. We don't have manpower. Come on, all of a sudden we have ammunition? We didn't have it for Ukraine? We don't have it. Israel wanted 3,000 Iron Dome 50k pop rockets. No, we we got 300 we're out of ammo we don't have enough people you know we may look badass you know i think you know we got a couple thousand people in syria looks great but we really don't have i don't think we don't have the weaponry in place and the training in guerrilla warfare or urban warfare. I'm just not so sure, Mr. President, that we're in the United States. I don't think so.

Starting point is 00:36:11 And I really doubt the Israelis' capacity at this point. I'm not so sure that we can win anything. Yeah. What do you think? I think it's a valid position. what are you going to do is israel going to drop a nuke well that that's not going to work you blow yourself up there's going to be no nukes i'll tell you that right now no nukes are going to happen so you can stop worrying about that but we need then the play is simple we need hezbo need Hezbollah to attack in the north,

Starting point is 00:36:47 then we can go straight after Iran. And it'll be interesting to see what we do. We. Something's going to happen from the looks of things. I have a quick Democracy Now! clip. Although I prefer nothing happened. No, of course we don't want we don't want anything happening of course we're anti-war this is professor rashid kaliri on democracy now respond

Starting point is 00:37:14 to president biden sitting down with the prime minister netanyahu today and saying the other team did it attacking the hospital and go on from there. The president has bonded the United States to Israel at the hip since very soon after this horrible escalation started. In so doing, he's made the United States responsible in the eyes of the world for everything. And this is the latest example of that. He's basically read from an Israeli teleprompter, as he seems to do routinely when anything relating to the Middle East comes up. It's almost as if his lines are scripted in Tel Aviv at the Israeli defense ministry, where their disinformation headquarters are located.

Starting point is 00:37:54 I should probably add one more thing to this, just so people understand the dynamics of Israel in the United States. AIPAC. AIPAC is, what what is it the American Israeli something APAC is very important and all it's a big and they have a big convention and they bring all these

Starting point is 00:38:15 and the convention for Republicans specifically is very that's pretty no it's across the board Schumer's always there speaking okay so here's how it works. AIPAC, very well funded by Israel.

Starting point is 00:38:28 Israel, not American Jews or whatever people might say is by Israel. And if you are not all in with what AIPAC's agenda is, they will primary you. That's the threat. And money drives all politics all around the world and certainly in the United States. So, you know, Biden has to do what the AIPAC agenda is. All politicians have to do it. Particularly, it could not be at a better time in an election year coming up. You better do it. Otherwise, you will lose power.

Starting point is 00:39:01 And that's what they're all afraid of. They don't really care about Israelis or Palestinians or Americans or Iranians. They're insane. All of them. We've let all politicians go insane and berserk. And if they're not, it'll only take one year. One year in D.C. and you're part of the gang. You got more from that guy?

Starting point is 00:39:27 I had that clip, too. I do. I do. Well, not that guy. I have, I think, actually, we've had NBC. I want to play a few CBS, CIA broadcasting systems. I have three, a small trifecta regarding this latest fracas. Joining us now at the table is Margaret Brennan.

Starting point is 00:39:48 She's Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent and Moderator of Face the Nation. Margaret, really glad to have you here today. Because she's an expert at reading prompter. Glad to be here. So much to unpack. Why is she? Yes, exactly. Well, she's the expert.

Starting point is 00:40:00 This is the morning show. It's the morning show. All right, let's get really deep into it with Margaret Brennan, whonan who reads let's talk journalists talking to journalists yes this that's when the messaging is always considered a faux pas in journalism technically considered a faux pas yes you think this is journalism margaret really glad to have in this case yeah it's not even that it's a newsreader talking to newsreaders yes i'm going to introduce you with the script and you can read the script go ahead hello margaret i'm I'm going to introduce you with the script, and you can read the script. Go ahead.

Starting point is 00:40:25 Hello, Margaret. I'm so happy you're here. You are the expert. Here today. Glad to be here. Glad to be here. So much to unpack on this story. Unpack it.

Starting point is 00:40:31 As you see, the blame game is underway already. Unpack. Who was responsible for the bombing of the hospital. Oh, wait. Stop. Stop. Got me in interrupting mode. Yes, okay.

Starting point is 00:40:40 When did unpack become such a universal phrase? Have you noticed it? It shows up all the time. I was hearing it this morning. Yes. Un phrase? Have you noticed it? It shows up all the time. I was hearing it this morning. Unpack. Would you unpack it? Unpack it. I think we should say unzip it.

Starting point is 00:40:52 That would be much cooler. We will use unzip it. Unzip that archive for me. Do you have Windsor? To hopefully bring sides together. What challenges, what additional problems does this cause for the president of the United States at this time? Oh, let's go straight to politics. Whatever the facts are, it's the perception that matters and the perception in the streets of

Starting point is 00:41:13 Jordan and Egypt. I am a journalist. Facts don't matter. West Bank is that the United States saying it stands by Israel. Wow. She literally said that. Look, who cares? Who cares what facts are? Let's listen. Let's unpack that again. It's at this time Who cares what facts are? Let's listen. Let's unpack that again. It's time. Whatever the facts are, it's the perception that matters. And the perception in the streets of Jordan, in Egypt, in the West Bank is that the United States saying it stands by Israel without question means that it is allowing for continued civilian casualties. Not just with that hospital bombing, but it is seen in the broader context of this bombardment. They talk about bombing, bombing. That's been going on for 11 days now. And certainly it became politically untenable for the King of Jordan to host the president of the

Starting point is 00:41:55 United States. And that's pretty extraordinary given Israel and Jordan and Egypt, they have peace treaties. This is one of our closest allies in the Middle East. And because of the uproar in the streets, it just became impossible to host the president. So that shows the level of complexity that this mistake, perhaps, was it an errant strike? Mistake on whose part? Exactly. Mistake from somebody. The Israeli military claims it was Islamic Jihad, a militant group that's

Starting point is 00:42:21 smaller than Hamas, but operative there. This is this. new player new player the palestinian islamic jihad new player is being introduced by cbs which is not everybody's been talking about that group yes i have the clip that i had earlier all right from nbc but it's not okay present this morning when he said the other team is responsible. He didn't say what that was based on. Is that a U.S. intelligence assessment? Is that accepting the Israeli military's version? I love the guy in the background.

Starting point is 00:42:55 Team is responsible. He didn't say what that was based on. Is that a U.S. intelligence assessment? Is that accepting the Israeli military's version of events? And so could that escalate things? Yes, absolutely. And that is part of the concern here is how do you win back the public? Holly's piece was just showing the political problems that the prime minister of Israel has.

Starting point is 00:43:18 His people want retribution for this horrific attack that happened. But as you're seeing with the president there, with the secretary of state, with the secretary of defense, with all these lawmakers going, there are quiet questions being asked behind closed doors to the Israeli government saying, Prime Minister Netanyahu, what is your plan for what comes next?

Starting point is 00:43:37 Ah, okay. So CBS knows that there's quiet conversations and questions going on in the background behind closed doors. Do you think it was necessary for President Biden to be there at this particular time? You know, I was talking with officials last night saying, can you call it off yet? The plane's en route. They were stuck. It had already been announced even after the Arab summit was called off because President Abbas had to return to the West bank,

Starting point is 00:44:05 there are protests against him. Um, and then in Jordan and Egypt, you see these protests going to Israel for some will look like the United States is standing by, even if, um, this is a open question of culpability. The very serious problems that were to be discussed at the Arab summit involving humanitarian aid and access to Egypt, those remain. Are they being discussed on the sidelines? Is there any progress that can be made? Well, the president will be calling some of those leaders as well. He can't be seen standing beside them because of their own political issues. But, you know, Secretary Blinken spent the better part of the last week shuttling around the Middle East and came back to Israel to press Prime Minister Netanyahu to get

Starting point is 00:44:45 this agreement to allow in any aid, even though it's very restricted what is being allowed in. The aid that we vetoed. If any is allowed in at all. And for some, it appears that this visit was collateral for that because Tony Blinken, the Secretary of State, was behind closed doors for nine hours with the Israeli government trying to get this agreement to allow in aid. But obviously, we're the most powerful country in the world. We're the best. You know, we control everything except, oh, crap, we didn't control that part. Last clip. What, if anything, can you tell us about diplomatic efforts to release the hostages? We saw the mother with a picture of her daughter who's now become the face of the hostages.

Starting point is 00:45:22 You know, Gail, I've been talking to sources in the Middle East, here in the United States, people who work with hostage families. There had been some hope leading up to this bombing. And this morning, I am told Hamas is signaling that it is not possible for them at this moment to go through with any kind of release. Now, that's if you believe that the diplomatic efforts to date actually were going to be successful. What was this laugh for? What was so funny? What was so funny? Where was that placed again?

Starting point is 00:45:53 Let's see. Possible for them at this moment to go through with any kind of release. Now, that's if you believe that the diplomatic efforts to date actually were going to be successful. She laughed at diplomatic efforts. So she thinks it to be successful. So this is really diplomatic efforts. So she thinks it's bull crap. Because we all know. Who is she talking to her sources? Yes.

Starting point is 00:46:13 In the Middle East. Yes. Difficult. And it also imperils other diplomacy. Very complicated and very layered. Very layered. Layered. Very layered.

Starting point is 00:46:23 Well, that's why you had to unpack it. Because it's layered. Layered. Very layered. Well, that's why you had to unpack it, because it's layered. It's a tar ball. All right, back to you, Bob. Let's go with a couple of these protest clips, because there's one I think might be good. There's this world protest on Al Jazeera. There have been protests taking place around the world in support of the Palestinian people. Demonstrators gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo in Japan.

Starting point is 00:46:49 They were chanting, USA, shame on you. In Turkey, police fired water cannon at protesters on the streets of Istanbul. Thousands had gathered in front of the Israeli consulate. Demonstrators in India described what's going on in Palestine as a genocide. And members of a Muslim organization gathered in Chennai and in the Philippines. People carried Palestinian flags and lit candles in protest at the Israeli

Starting point is 00:47:12 airstrike on that hospital in Gaza. Well, Barnaby Lowe is at a demonstration in the southern Philippines. They're talking about the Philippines. Yes. It's unbelievable. Somebody's got pretty good organizational skills better than ours. Philippines. Yes. It's unbelievable. The Philippines? Somebody's got pretty good organizational skills better than ours.

Starting point is 00:47:30 Anyway, onwards. Well, I mean, it's that, you know, this is, I think it's probably a lot of the trans-Maoism that has crept in everywhere. 100%. Oh, 100%. I get to see. Oh, 100%. I get to say, if you say, for your one 100%, I get to say, you bet. I never finished this.

Starting point is 00:47:53 I never got to the T. Oh, okay. The organization gathered in Chennai and in the Philippines. People carried Palestinian flags and lit candles in protest at the Israeli airstrike on that hospital in Gaza. Well, Barnaby Lowe is at a demonstration in Marawi in the southern Philippines and joins us live. Barnaby, so what are protesters telling you and why are they so angry about events in Gaza? There's definitely a huge anger here as demonstrated by the huge crowd right behind me. And it's not just here. All over Marawi City, there are banners and posters

Starting point is 00:48:25 saying Free Palestine and Israeli Occupation. This protest definitely primarily sparked by that attack on the hospital in Gaza on Tuesday. But their calls, their condemnation go beyond that, just that one incident. And in fact, they go beyond this week-long hostilities in Gaza. Atrocities, they say, by Israeli forces. They say they want an end to Israeli occupation because they understand that people in Gaza have been living under constant bombardment. They have been living under decades of blockade by Israel. And so they want a free Palestine, not just in Gaza, but also in the West Bank.

Starting point is 00:49:10 All right, I have a protest clip from ABC. This is about protests across the Middle East. And they all start off perfectly fine. In Beirut tonight, we witnessed protesters rushing the American embassy, security forces pushing them back using tear gas, water hoses and rubber bullets. Amid the chaos, we take cover. As you can see, protesters pushing back against security forces, starting by throwing rocks, launching fireworks. It's been a constant push and pull here between security forces and the protesters who are trying to push up against the American embassy. They say they are outraged at Israel's bombardment of Palestinian citizens

Starting point is 00:49:56 and the U.S. support for it. Across the region, fury towards the Israeli government and its ally, the United States, now at a boiling point. From Iran to Jordan, the deadly explosion at the hospital in Gaza further inflaming the demonstrations. Israel insisting it was not responsible. The U.S. saying intelligence backs that up. But for protesters here, that's evidence the Israeli-U.S. alliance is toxic. America is the devil, the real devil, because it supported Israel. In the West Bank, the anger growing. In Ramallah, ABC's Matt Gutman among the protesters.

Starting point is 00:50:37 Downtown Ramallah, this is a protest of unity. They're rallying in support of Hamas, they're rallying in support of Palestinianmas the rally in support of palestinian fighters people telling me here the time for peace is over those demonstrations quickly spreading across the west bank protesters clashing with israeli soldiers as the region smolders i mean it's the these demonstrations are i mean and these demonstrations are, and the people who go, they have no historical context. They really don't. Maybe Muslims have some built-in historical context, generational context that they've been given throughout the years. And everyone's toxified their children.

Starting point is 00:51:18 You know, this will come to a head one way or another. In the Netherlands, in the Netherlands, the protests have a slogan. Hamas, Hamas, the Yoda on its hus. Which translates to Hamas, Hamas, put the Jews on the gas, as in gas. I mean, this is... Oh, really? Oh, yeah, in Holland.

Starting point is 00:51:40 But okay, it's all right. Let's bring in some show business. Yeah, what are you going to do? We need a show business angle. All right, let's all right. Let's bring in some show business. Yeah, what are you going to do? We need a show business angle. All right, let's switch gears now to Alicia Keys and the post that sparked a social media backlash. Backlash! Alicia was criticized for this Instagram post asking,

Starting point is 00:51:58 quote, what would you do if you weren't afraid of anything? I've had my eyes on paragliding. Uh-oh! Many users said the word paragliding was both triggering and insensitive, giving their use by Hamas during the October 7th attack on an Israeli music festival. The massacre claimed nearly 300 innocent lives and led to the capture of several hostages. Some even accused Alicia of showing sympathy toward the terror organization by wearing green, the same color as the Hamas flag.

Starting point is 00:52:27 Someone who came to Alicia's defense, her former manager, Guy Osiri. The Israeli-American took to Instagram saying, quote, I spoke to Alicia and she was horrified to learn what the word implied and immediately took it down. Oh, brother. This is where we're at. This is where we're at. This is the oh, brother part This is where we're at. This is where we're at. This is the old brother part of the show. If I was president right now, I would have an executive order, shut off the internet.

Starting point is 00:52:51 Shut up. I would have done that years ago, but that's me. Shut up. Well, I would shut down social media right now. Let's just shut it down. Let's not protest. Let's do this one. This one was poorly covered, I thought, by the American press,

Starting point is 00:53:02 but the Al Jazeera did a great job in the protest in D.C. Oh, yeah, this was interesting. In Washington, D.C., protesters from anti-war group Jewish Voice for Peace have staged a sit-in inside a congressional building. This is what I mean by generational. This is exactly what I mean. The demonstrators are calling for an immediate ceasefire amid the rising death toll in Gaza. Some protesters are wearing shirts with the words, not in our name.

Starting point is 00:53:28 Patty Culhane sent us this report from Capitol Hill. Protesters are taking the pro-Palestinian cause to the U.S. Capitol here in the Cannon House office building. This is where members of Congress and their staff, many of them, have their offices. This happened earlier in the day. I'd say about five dozen, maybe six dozen activists wearing t-shirts that say, not in our name, juice a ceasefire now, came into Cannon chanting. They knew they would be arrested. Now, this

Starting point is 00:54:00 all started at a protest just a few blocks away earlier in the day. More than a thousand people of really all faiths came out. But I did talk to one gentleman. He said his grandparents survived the Holocaust, helped build Israel, but now he says he felt the need to come out because he does not believe what the people of his own religion are doing to the Palestinians. the people of his own religion are doing to the Palestinians. I see my job as carrying on their legacy as Jews who fundamentally see their role as standing up for stateless and oppressed people all throughout the world. And I see no better way to do that than fighting for peace in a ceasefire in Gaza today.

Starting point is 00:54:46 Yeah, this is amazing what's going on. I mean, even amongst the Save Palestine protests, if you really look at some of the pictures, there's a lot of Jewish groups there. Jews for Palestine. They got signs. They're intermingled. The generational fact is that the young people who have no context at all, they are...

Starting point is 00:55:01 No, because they weren't given a decent education for starters. Correct. But they also't given a decent education for starters. But they also, people don't want war anymore. The people don't want it. If this war cranks up the way they're trying to do it with Iran, I think the backlash is going to be unexpected. Because if you're a Democrat strategist, you're thinking, what are we going to do to keep Biden in office? Because he's going to run whether we like it or not. Well, make him a war president. Nobody ever votes a war president out of office. George W. Bush is a good example. You know what this would be? I hate to say this. Now would be a

Starting point is 00:55:36 perfect time for Biden to die. That's the only thing left that would make this chaos complete. President Kamala. That's the only thing left that would make this chaos complete. Well. President Kamala. President Kamala. Well, things aren't bad enough. That's what I'm saying. Why not?

Starting point is 00:55:56 Part two. This part two of this clip has got an interesting kicker. As we take one more look as the crowd, as they start to get arrested, one by one being put in zip ties, this is going to be a misdemeanor. They're unlikely to face any sort of jail time. They'll probably pay a fine. But just to give you a sense of how different this sentiment is from those of the elected officials in these buildings, there was a resolution by one representative asking Joe Biden, the U.S. president, to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. And all 13 members of Congress agree. Patty Culhane, Al Jazeera at the U.S. Capitol.

Starting point is 00:56:34 So, call for a ceasefire in Gaza, which would be not a bad idea, seems to me. I'm pretty sure that Hamas... 13 total congressmen and senators agreed to this. No, they're not connected. There was a... Hamas at some point, I had the clips here somewhere, said, you know, we'll let all the hostages go if you just stop firing rockets. Yeah, I don't believe that to be true.

Starting point is 00:57:06 I don't believe it either, but it was a talking point for a moment there. I have some trigger clips. People just using triggering, triggering stuff. Sky News. This is Sky News with former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. And he goes straight for the jugular. And what about those Palestinians in hospital who are on life support and babies and incubators? Oh, hold on. Hold on, Sky News. We've got babies and incubators? Turn them, throw them out!

Starting point is 00:57:40 Whose life support and incubator will have to be turned off because the Israelis have cut the power to Gaza. Are you seriously keep on asking me about Palestinian civilians? What's what's wrong with you? Have you not seen what happened? We're fighting Nazis. We don't target them. Now the world can come and bring them anything they want. If you want to bring them electricity, I'm not going to feed electricity or water to my enemies. If anyone else wants, that's fine.

Starting point is 00:58:09 We're not responsible for them. This is the point. I want to tell you, you listen to me right now. I've heard you enough. I've heard a lot of you. This is my show, and I am asking the questions.

Starting point is 00:58:23 This goes on for quite a while. But, you know, everything's Nazi now. Nazi, Nazi, Nazi. Let's go to Piers Morgan. Piers Morgan is, who's this guy? Bassem Youssef.

Starting point is 00:58:41 I don't know if he mentions it, but this is, you know, the dichotomy between Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine. I would say I really applaud Israel for doing one thing that no military force in the world does. Because I heard Ben Shapiro and I heard Ron DeSantis, and they said... Isn't it amazing that Ben Shapiro is now on the world stage with Ron DeSantis? It doesn't surprise me. He's a hard worker.

Starting point is 00:59:11 It doesn't surprise me at all. Force in the world does. Because I heard Ben Shapiro and I heard Ron DeSantis. And they said, Israel is the only military force in the world that warns civilians before bombing them. I mean, how fucking cute. That is so nice of them. Because with this logic, if Russian troops started warning Ukrainians before bombing their houses, we're cool with Putin, right? I mean, OK, Habibi, you have warned them.

Starting point is 00:59:41 Go invade. It's fine. You have done your job. I mean, the thing is, and I understand, and I also heard Ben Shapiro talking about Human Shield. So you remember my wife's family? They live in Gaza. So I asked them. I told them, when Israel gives you the nice warning, the cute warning, does Hamas force you to stay in your home so you can be bombed and used as human shield? Does that mean that every single one of those civilians was standing, obscuring a military target behind them?

Starting point is 01:00:13 Because that's a lot of weapons. I mean, Hamas is packing. No, of course it doesn't. I love these comparisons. I want to understand what is the logic of Israel carpet bombing Gaza. I mean, if there is a logic, if this will make Israel safe, I want to hear the logic. So if I can understand this correctly, basically Israel is doing this to pressure the Palestinian community in Gaza to turn against Hamas. Is that right?

Starting point is 01:00:37 I'm sure that's part of it, yes. That's part of it. So this is exactly what terrorist organizations do, because terrorist organizations will have no chance beating a whole nation in battle. So they terrorize and they kill the civilians in order to spread fear and terror so they can turn against the government to change their policy or to resign. You have just compared Israel with ISIS. The thing is, this is the problem. Israel always victimizes itself. And I have never seen a victim putting their oppressor under siege and bombing them 24-7. Israel wants you to believe that

Starting point is 01:01:09 they are the victim. Dealing with Israel is so difficult. It's like being in a relationship with a narcissistic psychopath. He fucks you up and then he makes you think it's your fault. Wow, this guy's got opinions. By the way, our firebombing of the German cities, especially Dresden, was exactly this. Of course. This is the context that people don't have. This has been going on forever, all around the world, all the time. And we're being told this is it.

Starting point is 01:01:40 We're in end times. It's all over now. Yeah, it's like the hottest day. Yeah, the hottest day yeah uh the hottest day what a good day for 100 years it's hot for 100 years good must have been global warming 100 years ago what are you telling me so we've got to shore it all up now and make sure everybody understands particularly the financial markets let's hey it's okay don't worry we got it under control we can do this we're the best country in the world of the ever of the history.

Starting point is 01:02:07 Let's bring out Janet Yellen. She is, after all, in charge of our finances. Hey, Janet, can we really do all this? I mean, do we have, let me ask you, do we have a war fund? Do we have like a little piggy bank or something that we can break to open up for money? Do we have that? Is there a thing? Not that I know of.

Starting point is 01:02:30 No, I don't think so either. Paul Tudor Jones, the famed investor, was on CNBC this week and he said, this is the most threatening and challenging geopolitical environment that I've ever seen. At the same time, the U.S. is in its weakest fiscal position since World War II, with debt to GDP at 122 percent. Can America, can the West afford another war at this time? I think the answer is absolutely. Yay! Absolutely. Bring in another one. Hey, how about Taiwan?

Starting point is 01:03:04 Can America, can the West afford another war at this time? I think the answer is absolutely. America can certainly afford to stand with Israel and to support Israel's military needs. And we also can and must support Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. Struggle. Look, the American economy is doing extremely well. I love this. It's doing extremely well. Inflation has been high and it's been a concern to households.

Starting point is 01:03:40 It's a concern to households. It's just a little concern. What's your problem? It's come down to households. It's just a little concern. What's your problem? Come down considerably. At the same time, we have a bad strongest leader. It hasn't reversed. It has come down considerably. Look, I have a chart.

Starting point is 01:03:55 That means it's still going up. It's cumulative. This is the one thing that people don't understand about inflation. Please. Explain. about inflation please explain well if you have an inflation rate of 10 percent and then it drops to five percent it's five on top of the ten it's like but you can say but a politician would say well we had it's gone down 50 inflation's gone down 50 percent it's gone down from 10 percent to five percent which means it was 10%, which you've already lost 10% of all your value right there.

Starting point is 01:04:31 And then it's another 5% on top of that, on top of that, on top of that. It's just a concern. It's a scam. It's just a concern. It's what people are talking about around the kitchen table. It's just a slight concern. Check the price of gasoline. The American economy is doing extremely well. Inflation has been high, and it's been a concern to households.

Starting point is 01:04:55 It's come down considerably. At the same time, we have about the strongest labor market we've seen. Let's just re-explain the labor market. The labor market in unemployment is determined by those who have registered and are willing to work versus those who are working. Not all the people who have given up. No, the people who have given up is a huge number. A huge number.

Starting point is 01:05:21 Shadowstats.com. In 50 years. Yes, shadowstats.com. In 50 years. Yes, shadowstats.com. 3.8% unemployment. And at the same time, America, the Biden administration, has passed legislation that is strengthening our economy in the years to come for the medium term. What is that? We have three historic pieces of legislation three historic pieces of legislation each about a trillion dollars bipartisan infrastructure act the chips and

Starting point is 01:05:53 one republican voted yes bipartisan bipartisan bipartisan hey hey hey infrastructure act is there how are the potholes i i don't see i mean they did pave a section of 80 up north of me oh repaved it but then they stopped i mean it's still not good the infrastructure act and there's all kinds of you know if you want to drive drive around berkeley sometime and i should put a cam one of the cams you know there's a car cam on my car and i'll drive some areas and without the uh without the image stabilization on you'll see what i'm talking about i expect you to do this i'm going to do it now and and make sure you focus it on that dashboard which you claim after 25 years has still not cracked you want to take some photos for you no no that's okay bipartisan infrastructure act the chips

Starting point is 01:06:54 and science act and the inflation reduction act and that's the best the inflation reduction act yeah which is also the green new Deal. So that's bull crap. We've seen a burgeoning of investment, especially in manufacturing. We have manufacturing. Oh, I'm sorry. I must have missed all the manufacturing going on. I haven't seen any factories go up around here. No, of course not.

Starting point is 01:07:21 An industrial renaissance. An industrial renaissance in the industrial renaissance not here and um we're creating good jobs good jobs especially for people who've been who have crossed the border illegally don't have a college education have been um left out of republicans um really economic progress in the united states so the united states yeah you know what those jobs are serving other people in restaurants economy isn't a good place in terms of the fiscal situation i don't know where 122 comes from the u.s federal debt to g GDP ratio is about 98% at this point. Okay.

Starting point is 01:08:07 Do you know that? That's I've heard anything but a number under 100% debt to GDP. She's claiming it's 98%. I thought it was like 110. I've heard. Well, the guy said 120. I've heard 160. And she's saying, I don't know where that number comes from it's about 98 but

Starting point is 01:08:27 she did say federal and she'd probably be playing some words she's got some that's weasels there's something weasely about what she said yeah it's the fiscal situation i don't know where 122 comes from the u.s federal debt to gdp ratio is about 98% at this point. And the interest expense, which is a more relevant statistic, still remains manageable. Now, it is true with higher interest rates, and those higher interest rates may persist, although that's not clear. Yeah, it's not clear. Well, it is clear because they're going to go higher powell just had his little chat today and it was like okay that's not working we need

Starting point is 01:09:12 to start the president has a announcement tonight yeah i know it's on show night of course i think it will be the let's print some money night uh yes they're gonna have to jack him up tonight there's no doubt about it he's gonna be pumped so he'll be screaming about dignity i don't think they you know he's over jacked i don't think they can do it anymore it's not working well we're gonna find out tonight because tonight's the night if they're gonna jack him with a with a hot shot. Tonight's the night. Tonight's the night. We're going to jack him. They're going to jack him. Well,

Starting point is 01:09:51 this will be the speech of his life. What can he possibly say? Well, I have some ideas. I have a couple of clips. Do you have him talking about Gold in My Air? Yes, I have the Golda Meir clip. Because I looked that up.

Starting point is 01:10:08 Do you mind if we play this one first? Well, I wanted to play it as the kicker. Oh, okay. Well, do it in order. Whatever you want. Let's just go first. He's rambling about peace. In the darkness to be the light unto the world is what we're about.

Starting point is 01:10:23 What are we about? The darkness into the light. Oh, the darkness into the... Oh, I thought we were the doctors unto the world is what we're about. What are we about? Darkness into the light. Oh, I thought we were the doctors of the world. Darkness into the light into the world. Darkness into the light of the world. In the darkness to be the light unto the world is what we're about. Oh, we are the light, the shining light on the hill. You inspire hope and light for so many around the world.

Starting point is 01:10:44 That's what the terrorists seek to destroy. Has he noticed the protests about all these, we're inspiring people? Yes. Well, he's not. He's correct. We're inspiring people to protest. It's all going according to plan. That's what the terrorists seek to destroy.

Starting point is 01:11:02 That's what they seek to destroy. Because they live in darkness. But not you. Not Israel. Nations of conscience, like the United States and Israel, are not measured solely by the example or power. And we're measured by the power of our example. And that's why it's hard to...

Starting point is 01:11:20 Oh, wow. Who wrote that one? Chat GPT? We're not measured by our examples of power. No, we're measured by our powers of example. hard as it is we must keep pursuing peace must keep pursuing a path so the israel and palestinian people can both live safely in security in dignity and in peace no that's never going to happen dignity it's i mean every single i remember president clinton oh yeah oh it's going to be great peace is going to be. And all we used to see on television back in the 70s was kids with slingshots. But it weren't the slingshots we had.

Starting point is 01:12:12 No, they're the really cool ones. Yeah, the cool ones. And they were good at it with, you know, like the David slingshots with a rope. And that's what we were looking at. And I always thought, why don't we give them some good slingshots? How does that really work?

Starting point is 01:12:27 But those things are cool. They, and that's all they had. I think you get a lot of velocity off of one of those. Yeah. Yeah. That's as far back as I can remember. Well,

Starting point is 01:12:38 I'm older than you and I can say the same exact words. I'm reading the story of Moses' death. Okay, hold on. Oh, we're going to go biblical here for a second. That's reading the story of Moses' death. Okay, hold on. Oh, we're going to go biblical here for a second. That's why I have to set this up. If you listen carefully, he claims, I think, to have done something that very few people have ever done. Read the Torah. Now, why a Catholic boy would read the torah is beyond

Starting point is 01:13:07 me but i think that's what he says in this clip after reading the story of moses death those who observe the holiday began reading the torah from the very beginning the story of creation reminds us of two things first and when we get knocked down we get back up again and we begin anew and second when we're faced with tragedy and loss we must go back to the beginning and remember who we are is that who we are we are all human beings creating the image of god with dignity humanity and purpose no purpose. No, but the Torah is the Old Testament. Dignity. The Torah is bigger than the Old Testament.

Starting point is 01:13:53 There's more to it than just the Old Testament. The Old Testament is taken from the Torah. As far as I know, I'm not Jewish. Right. So let's go to the clip you were so anxious to hear. Hold on a second. It's a couple, it's several, it's like four or five books from the Old Testament. And I don't know if it's bigger. I mean, it may be bigger to, the Jews don't believe in the New Testament, that Jesus was not the Savior. He was a prophet, not the Son of God. Yeah. that Jesus was not the Savior, he was a prophet, not the Son of God. And they still kind of stopped at an eye for an eye, which is how they're feeling right now.

Starting point is 01:14:30 All the Israelis are like, we're going to gouge your eye because you gouged our eye. And it would be nice if everybody had the love and peace of Jesus. But okay. Neither here nor there. Besides besides that yes uh his comment if let's say the torah and the old testament are exactly the same why wouldn't he say as a good catholic boy that the old testament he's he's he's panderingizing. He's patronizing the audience. Yeah. Well, he's also lying. The guy lies about everything.

Starting point is 01:15:10 Yeah, he's a liar. And this one is a whopper. Okay, now this one is a whopper. You're going to tell us why it's a big lie. I looked at it, as you will soon see, as a shaggy dog story, the way he tells it. Let's go. I've told the story before, and I'll tell it again. dog story the way he tells it. Let's go. I've told the story before and I'll tell it again of my first meeting with an Israeli prime minister 50 years ago as a young senator. I was sitting across from Golda Meir at her desk in her office and she had a guy named, a guy who later became

Starting point is 01:15:36 prime minister, sitting next to me just before the 1973 Yom Kippur War. And she flipped the maps up and down telling me how bad things were and how terrible they were. All of a sudden, she looked at me. She said, would you like a photograph? I looked at her. She got up from her desk and walked out into that hallway. I think it's marble flooring. Walked out in the hallway.

Starting point is 01:16:01 We walked out, and there were a bunch of photographers standing in front of us. We were standing shoulder to shoulder. Without her looking at me, she said to me, knowing I'd hear her, why do you look so worried, Senator Biden? And I said, worried? Like, of course I'm worried. And she looked at me and she didn't look. She said, don't worry, Senator, we Israelis have a secret weapon. We have nowhere else to go. Well, today I say to all of Israel, the United States isn't going anywhere either. I didn't expect that one. He's been telling this story throughout his career and this time it was just before the yom kippur war it's been uh during the six-day war in the past cnn has a whole article on this which is old uh let me see when did one of this publish from cnn this is um

Starting point is 01:16:58 from 2021 he keeps telling this story about Golda Meir and then she says, yeah, I want to take a picture. No, none of this. It's a corn pop story. Yeah, totally corn pop. It's a corn pop story. He's full of it. I don't think I have the clip, but he was, I tried to

Starting point is 01:17:20 run it through Adobe. No way could I get it to work about him saying that I tried to run it through Adobe. No way could I get it to work. About him saying that Jews are not, it's okay to be a Zionist. Did you hear that? Yeah, I remember something about this. I mean, his fumbling and mumbling about Zionism. So here's the raw audio. Zionism. So here's the raw audio.

Starting point is 01:17:44 I remember the first time that I was in Israel with That's almost inaudible. So I run it through Adobe. I can kind of hear it. Well, listen to what Adobe does to him. I remember the first time that I

Starting point is 01:17:59 was in Israel with the cold May air just before the six day war there he says six day war yeah and in your clip did he say six day war? he said Yom Kippur Yom Kippur war

Starting point is 01:18:18 this is great he confused it on the trip I didn't even realize he had confused it on the trip let's listen and she was telling me how oh wait let's let's use this was in israel with gold in my ear she was just before the six-day war and she was telling me how terrible everything was which it was she kept flipping the maps up and down behind her, and all of a sudden she looked at me and she said, would you like a photograph? And I thought, that's unusual.

Starting point is 01:18:52 And I guess she just got up and walked out there. We were outside her office. So we caught him in the lie there. It's exactly the same story. Yeah, except now it was before the Six Day War. I didn't even realize he had bumbled that on this trip. Let's go to the Zionist part here. Right here somewhere.

Starting point is 01:19:23 I can't hear it. If there were an Israel, we'd have to admit one. I believe that as I went home, I said, God, I can't hear it. Terrible order they want. If they were in Israel, we'd have to admit who wanted it. Okay, forget it. Forget it. I can't listen to it. It's so bad. That's funny.

Starting point is 01:19:35 That's crazy because when you had that clip, I'm like, wow, you found a clip of good audio. I couldn't find that story with good audio, which is why I didn't clip it. I couldn't find that story with good audio, which is why I didn't clip it. And now it turns out it was before the Yom Kippur war on your clip, before the Six Day War on my clip. Wow. Our president is a liar. He lost it. He's a liar.

Starting point is 01:19:57 He's a liar. He's an unbelievable liar. Let's listen to some hate from MSNBC. As you pointed out, NBC is all in on hating Israel. Why? I don't know. I don't know why either. Other than they are the most woke, most leftist network. Yeah, I think so. Here is Mark Lamont Hill.

Starting point is 01:20:19 Danny Ayalon, thank you so much for joining me on Upfront. With the former Israeli deputy foreign minister. My pleasure. The idea of collective punishment is one of the things that we're talking about here. There are residential buildings being hit. There are hospitals being hit. This is a densely populated area. The idea of being able to run away or to escape or go to a safe area seems impossible. Also, according to your own military representatives, you've abandoned the idea of knocking on roofs. That is to say, giving a warning of dropping a

Starting point is 01:20:52 non-explosive munition on buildings before people go. So people aren't getting a warning. They have nowhere to go. Residential buildings, schools and hospitals are being hit. How is this not, again, an act of collective punishment? And how is this not a target of civilian? Unless, of course, you're regarding everybody in Gaza as an enemy combatant. I'll tell you in a practical manner what we should do and what we can do. Create, like in the past, in history, a humanitarian corridor. When there is a humanitarian corridor, and we have been discussing this with the United States, corridor, and we have been discussing this with the United States,

Starting point is 01:21:28 then we can guarantee in this corridor that nobody will get hurt. Now, again, I say there is a way to receive them all on the other side for temporary time on Sinai. Because what did Hamas turn out of? Are you saying the other side will go to Egypt? Yes, absolutely. And Egypt will have to play ball because this is human life is at stake. Human life is at stake because you're cutting off power. You're shutting down hospitals. You're bombing residential buildings. Right now, there is a hospital that is not does not have sufficient power.

Starting point is 01:22:01 There is a hospital where people are literally going to die and israeli's energy minister uh israel cat said no electrical switch will be turned on no hydrant will be open no fuel truck will enter until the israeli abductees are returned home uh it goes on and on and on i don't want to play the rest of that it's just it's all yeah it's just a yeah now but of course we need to bring it home we need to bring the fear and the terror home abc tonight a warning the war between israel and hamas is increasing the chances of violence in the united states a new intelligence bulletin says potential targets include individuals and institutions andrew horowitz this is for you.

Starting point is 01:22:46 Perceived as symbolic of or tied to the conflict. There are stepped up patrols at synagogues in Los Angeles. More crowd control in Washington, D.C. and in New York. The nation's largest police force has called in reinforcements instructing all officers to prepare to work 12-hour shifts. There's a lot of tension that's taking place right now, and this can play out on our streets. The FBI is not aware of any organized plots, but the fear is someone acting alone, like the man charged in the murder of a six-year-old boy near Chicago. Lone Wolf.

Starting point is 01:23:18 Wadia Al-Fayyum was buried this week after police said he was stabbed to death by his landlord because he was Muslim. Yeah, that makes sense. That makes total sense. Now, I have that story. I want to play this story and just make one comment. Okay. This is the odd riots and maniac war. And this, again, NBC, so. In Washington, D.C., dozens were arrested at the Capitol

Starting point is 01:23:43 during a rally of Jewish Americans calling for a ceasefire. Cease fire! And in suburban Chicago last night, more than 1,500 people packed a vigil for a Palestinian American boy. He was a child, a child filled with love and not any hate. Prosecutors say six-year-old Wadia Al-Fayoumi was stabbed dozens of times by his family's landlord, who they say was angry about the Hamas attacks. Joseph Zuba faces murder and hate crime charges in Illinois and has not yet entered a plea. A child taken and a country on edge as war wages on a world away. It's exactly what you want.

Starting point is 01:24:21 I don't believe this at all. Well, I kind of believe it, and I'll tell you why. Again, it could be just part of the whole thesis. So they show a picture of the guy. Yeah. The guy looks like a lunatic. He's like an inexplicably homely-looking old man that just looks like he's nuts. And so I don't kind of believe a lot of it

Starting point is 01:24:51 because it just seemed like you got some screwball. The guy just looks, the guy looks wrong. Okay, so people are being riled up and this is the result of it. Yeah. Oh, well, this is what you get. This is what everybody is wanting. You could blame the media as far as I'm concerned.

Starting point is 01:25:06 That's right. One more from NBC now. By the way, by the way, that last one was from NBC, the one you played before, some NBC. So NBC is playing this story more than anybody. No, that was ABC. Oh, okay. Well, my last one was NBC. This is NBC.

Starting point is 01:25:21 Tonight, authorities in the U.S. ramping up security amid warnings about potential violence mounting nationwide over the Israel-Hamas war. In New York, the NYPD ordering officers indefinitely to be uniformed and ready to deploy. American officials and private analysts telling NBC News extremists are flooding social media with calls for attacks on Jewish communities and other targets in the U.S. and Europe, with groups linked to Al-Qaeda and American neo-Nazis seeking to exploit the war. Trump! According to intelligence memos obtained by NBC News. A Homeland Security official telling NBC News DHS is monitoring a heightened threat environment. environment in now that i think about it now that i think about it this is all intended these reports about you know oh so dangerous for jews in america this is uh being ramped up to make sure that we hate trump because that's exactly the result i told you i heard from the

Starting point is 01:26:20 from my hairdresser that everyone is freaking out in Austin. Oh, no. If Trump becomes president, all Jews will be killed. What? Yes. Yes. Where does that come from? Do they know that his daughter is Jewish and he might be too? Stop with your logic.

Starting point is 01:26:39 This is, this is, people are not of sane mind anymore. They're not of sane mind anymore. They're not of sound mind, I should say. Al-Qaeda and American neo-Nazis seeking to exploit the war, according to intelligence memos obtained by NBC News. A Homeland Security official telling NBC News, DHS is monitoring a heightened threat environment in the U.S. Heightened threat environment? We have an HTE, everybody. The FBI, also on high alert. This is mimicking the Bush administration because it worked so well to get him reelected. You know what we need? We need to bring back the color code again. I was thinking the same thing.

Starting point is 01:27:19 Orange. Orange. Threat level orange, everybody. A Homeland Security official telling NBC News, DHS is monitoring a heightened threat environment in the U.S. The FBI also on high alert. We stay laser focused on mitigating those threats. Tonight, the NYPD's hate crimes unit asking for the public's help, finding this man who they say punched a woman in a subway station Saturday, telling her he did it, quote, because you are Jewish. This as protests continue across the country. In Washington, D.C., dozens were arrested at the Capitol during a rally of Jewish Americans calling for a ceasefire. I love how it's a rally

Starting point is 01:27:57 now. It's a rally. It used to be insurrection, but now it's a rally. During a rally of Jewish Americans calling for a ceasefire. And in suburban Chicago last night, more than 1,500 people packed a vigil for a Palestinian American boy. He was a child, a child filled with love and not any hate. Prosecutors say six-year-old Wadia Al-Fayoumi was stabbed dozens of times by his family's landlord, who they say was angry about the Hamas attacks. Joseph Zuba faces murder and hate crime charges in Illinois and has not yet entered a plea. A child taken and a country on edge as war wages on a world away. Country on edge.

Starting point is 01:28:42 Country on edge. Be on edge, people. Be on edge. Be afraid edge, people. Be on edge. Be afraid. Be worried. Go outside. Do you... Please go outside. If you can afford to go outside and tell me if you... If there's war all around you,

Starting point is 01:28:56 is there someone right there ready to punch you in the face? Strike you? Push you right in the face. Boop. I listened to DH unplug. You... I mean, you kind of glossed over it, but Horowitz said, I'm a little worried strike you push right in the face right in the face you i listened to dh unplug you you i mean you kind of glossed over it but horowitz said i'm a little worried about it yeah i try to calm him down good job florida for god's sake that's that was exactly that was your way of you're in florida what are you talking about andrew warwick is a very, he's a solid

Starting point is 01:29:25 guy. And he's worried. He's getting spun up. Of course he's getting, everybody gets spun up. You gotta stop. I guess the two of us. Did you see Claire? Clipped by podcasters. Podcasters save the day.

Starting point is 01:29:42 Did you catch Claire daily? No, I do have one more clip before we play claire okay all right a war clip all right this is the uh oh actually two more first of all since we've been playing all these clips i want to just play this six second little short clip which to me epitomizes all the reporting on all the Middle Eastern media. And this is from Al Jazeera. And the way they just do the matter of fact about the hospital goes like this. Matter of fact.

Starting point is 01:30:15 I got it. Have taken to the streets after the Israeli attack on Al Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, which killed hundreds of people. That's it. That's it. After the Israeli attack. that's all they say. They don't say what could have been, what alleged... No, none of that.

Starting point is 01:30:31 Wait, did he just say this was a Baptist hospital? I think it's called that, yeah. Interesting. That's another little tidbit they leave out of our coverage. That's very interesting. Yeah. Baptist, I think, yeah. I think it is....have taken to the streets after the Israeli attack

Starting point is 01:30:48 on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, which killed hundreds of people. Maybe that's just the guy's name, Al-Ahli Baptist. Maybe that's just his name. I think it's a Baptist. We will look into it. Is it a Christian hospital in Gaza Strip? Why not?

Starting point is 01:31:04 Believable. Where else would you put them? So, they have In Gaza Strip? Why not? Unbelievable. Where else would you put them? So they have, this is a report on, again from Democracy Now, war journalists dead. Israel's reportedly set to ban Al Jazeera's operations in the country over its coverage of the war. Al Jazeera's operations in the country over its coverage of the war. Al Jazeera is one of the few global media networks that has reporters on the ground in Gaza. In related news, the Committee to Protect Journalists said at least 17 media workers have been killed since the start of the war, 13 of them Palestinian, three Israeli, and one Lebanese.

Starting point is 01:31:46 What? I can't believe that those big flak jackets with huge words press didn't save their lives. Yeah, the newer ones say shoot me. I saw Richard Engel. His says media. Yeah, and he's got the dumb helmet on. Yeah, but his flak jacket is huge words media. Yeah, I saw that. Do they seriously think that?

Starting point is 01:32:07 I mean, it used to be Red Cross. Oh, don't shoot him. Yeah, no, he's media. He's helpful. He's helping us. So Claire Daly, Irish representative in the European Union. Who we follow closely. Yes, this is our favorite socialist chick.

Starting point is 01:32:22 She's a socialist. And man, something happened. This was not a good look for her. I mean, she looked... Claire Daly usually looks... She's a Birkenstock with her dress type lady, kind of in general. She's kind of a... She looks haggard.

Starting point is 01:32:42 She looks haggard in this. I think most of the time she's pretty haggard no no no no not like this one and she had a sweatshirt on and I don't know what happened anyway she was pretty angry at Queen Ursula Queen Ursula

Starting point is 01:32:58 who went right away with her flak jacket on she must be three feet tall this Ursula. She has a little... She's a little shorty. She's got a little petite little flak jacket on that said, Queen!

Starting point is 01:33:12 Don't strike me, I'm Queen! And Claire Daly was pretty angry about this. I've been involved in politics for 40 years, but I have never seen anything like what is being unleashed in Gaza in full public view while the world watches it unfold.

Starting point is 01:33:31 Ten days of relentless airstrikes, one in a thousand people murdered by the Israeli government in a week, open declarations of siege, 24 hours of fuel, electricity and water left, collective punishment on innocent people, all illegal, all war crimes.

Starting point is 01:33:51 And when the EU should have been arguing for a ceasefire, for the upholding of international law, for the protection of civilians, Ursula von der Leyen touches down in Tel Aviv to photo up the preparation of a genocide and says Europe stands with Israel now and in the days to come. How dare she? She has no authority in foreign affairs

Starting point is 01:34:16 matter. She does not speak for me. She does not speak for Ireland and she does not speak for the citizens of Europe. We stand for peace. We stand for justice for the people of Palestine and for the upholding of international law. It's long past the time that this woman exited the stage. It's time for her to go. It makes a good point that Ursula von der Leyen pretends to be, you know, to speak for the Europe, like she's the president, the queen of

Starting point is 01:34:43 Europe. She's not the only one. Claire is not the only one who's made this commentary. They're getting a little annoyed with her going around thinking she's like the foreign secretary of the EU or whatever she thinks she is. The Queen! And it's getting

Starting point is 01:34:59 on people's nerves. Europe is I hate to say it, but Europe is done for. You it but europe is done for you're done for yeah you're done for and of course you know hey europe well we have no money at the moment uh but that may change tonight we'll see what the president says you've got to remember to keep funding ukraine keep funding him keep fun i'm hearing noise that uk Ukrainians are pretty sick and tired of Zelensky now. They were supposed to have an election, which is obviously not going to happen. Oh, yeah, he canceled the election so he could be king.

Starting point is 01:35:31 And he also just outlawed the Christian Orthodox Church. Right, the opposition parties. Yeah, it's a democracy. Democracy. We've got to fight for it. It's democracy. But the most, well, i'll play one more clip and then and then i i think we were all clipped out on this i i mean we've played clips from all sides and there's a point to it the israelis would say well look you know this is a

Starting point is 01:35:56 bbc with um hold on a second this is the bbc who is this with? Oh, this is Daniel Levy. He is the former Israeli peace negotiator. The Israelis would say, well, look, you know, we are defending ourselves. We are targeting Hamas targets in Gaza. We are trying to put an end to what we believe is a terrorist organization once and for all. Well, let me think about that. well let me think about that do you really keep a straight face when you say that do you think terrorist organizations embedded in populations who are denied their most basic rights are ended once and for all in a military campaign does that happen in history can someone credibly tell me that when the leadership of a country says we are cutting off food, electricity, water, all supplies to an entire civilian population that they're targeting militants. I'm sorry, these kind of lies can't be allowed to pass. And when you tell yourself the lie, it leads to the wrong policy.

Starting point is 01:36:56 If anyone told me that what the militants did on the weekend was a legitimate response to years and years of occupation, I would say, no, you're wrongheaded. You've lost sight of humanity and reality. And if anyone tells me that what Israel is doing in Gaza today is a legitimate response to what happened on the weekend, it's exactly the same. And yet they are saying it. And yet the international community is saying that. Yes, and people need to challenge them on it because it's a lie and we're warmongering if we allow them to get away with it what team is he on the other team according to the president whatever team so i think we should just all remind ourselves that war is a racket it's very good for business. Once the money printer starts going, war always has to be funded by borrowing, or printing and borrowing is kind of the two sides of the same thing.

Starting point is 01:37:54 There's a lot of financial markets awaiting. They'll benefit from it. Everybody wants this. This is what it's about. Everybody wants this. This is what it's about. It has really very little to do with Israel and Palestine, Hamas, Jews, Muslims. It's all just... Yeah, we weren't spending enough money on Ukraine. We're trying to.

Starting point is 01:38:17 Well, I think somehow they've already approved the four-bagger. The $100 billion is already in the pocket somehow. For Israel? Well, it's well it's it's for israel and ukraine and and what i'm hearing now is that the president tonight will ask congress for more in addition to that hundred billion which i'm sure probably is coming from an accounting error inside the pentagon well he is he is going to be jacked up, I think. You have claimed jacked up before. He's going to be talking about dignity and about we're America. We're America and there's nothing we can't do.

Starting point is 01:38:53 And he's going to yell at it, yell it. He's going to yell all that stuff if he's jacked up. And he's going to ask for a lot of money. And as we had from that Al Jazeera report where that woman was in the rotunda where they were having the protests, she said they asked for a ceasefire and the Congress and nobody's, nah, no. So everyone's going to be behind this,

Starting point is 01:39:15 at least our legislator people. Yeah, we need war. We need war. They're all good for it. And so except for Rand Paul, probably and two other guys. Rand Paul will be like, it came from the wuhan lab oh it's a rand paul wrong talking point you're behind so rand paul say no throw fauci in jail yeah yeah and that'll be that and then we're gonna end up with this mess

Starting point is 01:39:40 and uh okay well i don't know how they're gonna do it deal with it but i think they're gonna maybe we won't go boots on the ground we'll just pummel i still think it would probably be you can find the neighborhoods that everyone knows where they are where the mullahs live and you pound them to oblivion in that area those and will that and will that settle muslims around the world will that make them feel good? Oh, yeah. Everyone's good. Well, you know, the Shia-Sunni thing is still a little bit back in place. Some would be thinking it's about time you got those guys. Yeah. You don't know. You have no idea.

Starting point is 01:40:15 No one has an idea other than... It's good for business. It's good for business. Now, I'm so worried about all these groups and people and you know do you remember the intellectual dark web vaguely the intellectual dark web yeah it was the intellectuals well now we have something called the westminster declaration and i'm surprised you were not asked to sign this. What is it?

Starting point is 01:40:48 The Westminster Declaration. Quote, open discourse is the central pillar of a free society. Oh, brother. Yeah, so this is... I said it twice. That's my second older brother for the day. Yeah, yeah. WestminsterDeclaration.org. And I'll just read a little bit because this i this just

Starting point is 01:41:06 came to my attention i think it's relatively new we write as journalists artists authors activists technologists and academics to warn of increasing international censorship that threatens to erode centuries-old democratic norms no I knew you'd love it. Coming from the left, right, and center, we are united by our commitment to universal human rights and freedom of speech, and we are all deeply concerned about attempts to label protected speech as misinformation, disinformation,

Starting point is 01:41:39 and other ill-defined terms. The abuse of these terms has resulted in the censorship of ordinary people, journalists, and dissidents in countries all over the world. Across the globe, government actors, social media companies,

Starting point is 01:41:55 universities, and NGOs are increasingly working to monitor citizens and rob them of their voices. These large-scale coordinated efforts are sometimes referred to as the censorship industrial complex. I never heard that one. It's only sometimes.

Starting point is 01:42:14 I do have to write that down. The censorship industrial complex. So, and they go on and on and on about uh let's see uh what's it got to do with west minister i don't know what's the connection to west as the twitter files revealed tech tech companies are often performing sensorial content moderation and coordination with government so this is a bunch of yahoos who are pissed off that they don't control twitter so you think it's a bunch of lefties well i'm gonna i'm gonna tell you who it is let me first tell you what they what they uh for the sake of human welfare and

Starting point is 01:42:58 flourishing we make the following three calls to action we call on governments and international organizations to fulfill their responsibilities to the people and uphold Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I don't even know what that is. I don't care. You have a copy. I need a copy of that. Look up a copy. to undertake to protect the digital public square, Twitter, as defined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, and refrain from politically motivated censorship,

Starting point is 01:43:30 the censorship of dissident voices, and censorship of political opinion. These are people who are so misguided, they think that social media is the digital public square. And finally, we call on the general public to join us in the fight to preserve the people's democratic rights. Legislative changes are not enough. We must also build an atmosphere of free speech from the ground up by rejecting the climate of intolerance that encourages self-censorship and creates unnecessary personal strife for many. Instead of fear and dogmatism, we must embrace inquiry and debate.

Starting point is 01:44:05 Who do you think signed this? This is the elite of the Twitterati. Ready? I'm ready. Matt Taibbi. Journalist, U.S. Michael Schellenberger. Jonathan Haidt. Steven Pinker.

Starting point is 01:44:24 Tim Robbins. Tim Robbins, Tim Robbins, the actor? Yes. Richard Dawkins, John Cleese, Oliver Stone, Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson,

Starting point is 01:44:43 Barry Weiss, Peter Hitchensitchens Niall Ferguson Giannis Varoufakis This is your buddy. Is that the one? Yeah, the guy we talked about. Chris Hedges Ali Hirsi

Starting point is 01:45:01 Ayan Hirsi Ali Let me find some more that we know here. It's not a lot of people. Brett Weinstein. Of course. Is his brother in there too, Eric? No, he's not funny enough. He's not.

Starting point is 01:45:17 Let me see if there's anyone else here. There's a bunch of people I don't know. No, there's nothing. It's all college people. But this is done in order of appearance. So I'm presuming this is a, you know, a Taibbi Greenwald type thing. And we all got together. It's a promotion for them.

Starting point is 01:45:36 We all got together in Westminster. Yeah, why is this? I'd like to explain it. Well, this is paralleling the new FCC chairman who just announced that they're pulling back on all the Trump stuff. Net neutrality. And they're going to put net neutrality back in play, which means, of course, technically net neutrality means, for example, I have one of my connections is sonic and they have a gigabyte or gigabit gigabit connection second yes and they have a two gigabit but it seems to me if i read net neutrality correctly you can't do that no you have to give everybody equal gigabits. Everybody has to have the equal gigabits.

Starting point is 01:46:26 That means instead of having the opportunity to get two gigabits, they're not going to give everybody two gigabits. No, we're cutting back on your bits. So everything goes down. So all it does is it becomes, you know, we go back down. We go to the mean. We go to the, it downgrades everything. That's what net neutrality is meant to do.

Starting point is 01:46:45 Yes, dial up for everybody. The speeds will slow down. Dial up for everybody. Yes. Now, we have looked at this ad nauseum. Yeah, years ago. During Obama, I think it was during Obama administration. And the main sticking point for me, was i was walking the dog this morning and

Starting point is 01:47:05 reading this i read this before i went out like oh they're gonna bring this back the main sticking point was equal equal uh traffic except illegal traffic you remember that oh yeah that's just a way of getting uh porn off the internet no illegal traffic has nothing to do with the content. It is the protocol. So, Tor and Torrents would be seen as illegal content. Okay, that's right. I'm trying to remember these arguments. That's the trick.

Starting point is 01:47:43 Yes, to get rid of movie sharing or you know tor is good for you know obviously it's good for a lot of stuff it's a fantastic product the guy who did it is a something of a coding genius but if it's if deep packs deep packet sniffing is in play you can see it's a tor stream and it once you recognize it, it becomes like, oh, no, they can't do that. There goes all your people who download movies, which is about 70% of the net. It'll free up some bandwidth, that's for sure. I did want to play one last Israel clip. So apparently we got duped.

Starting point is 01:48:27 The clip of the laser dome was a hoax. The laser dome was a hoax that was supposedly footage from a video game and it was not true. What clip did we play that was a hoax? We didn't play the clip.

Starting point is 01:48:43 I said that sir brian of london who was very apologetic about this uh oh he's oh oh yeah you read his note i didn't yeah i looked into this too in the meantime after we when i said i made a mistake i made a couple and this was i said well i just pay i thought it was a patriot missile system from raytheon, but no, it's developed specifically by Israel. And it's a completely alien system that, I guess it works. Well, okay, so what we immediately got was,

Starting point is 01:49:14 it's fake, it's a hoax, it's from video game footage, it's not true. But then, France 24 does this. And now, to even more try to fill in the gaps, the potential gaps in the Israeli aerial system, the Israeli DOD and the company Rafael, the Israeli company, have been developing this time a laser-based anti-missile defense system called the Laserbeam, as you said.

Starting point is 01:49:38 And according to some sources close to the Israeli DOD, they could indeed decide to deploy that system earlier than what was expected. And one of the reasons why is that this is actually a very cost-effective system because it only cost about $4 per launch compared to the $50,000 I was talking about with the Iron Dome. Now, how does it work? This is a mobile laser cannon that can really turn to dust. Here you can see these pictures, footage from the company Rafael trying out its system, but it can really turn to dust, rockets, missiles, drones in a split second. The laser beam is of about 100 kilowatts. We're looking at some of the best technology in the world at the moment in terms of an air

Starting point is 01:50:19 defense system, but the iron beam hasn't been deployed yet. No, and it's important to stress that because on social media networks, we've been seeing videos that purport to show this laser beam, but it isn't actually. This is a fake. I want to show you those pictures. These are night pictures, of course, but this is actually footage from Arma 3, which is a video game that is known because it's particularly realistic with its realistic graphics. Now, we are indeed, when we're talking about these laser beams,

Starting point is 01:50:48 we are talking about the future of defense systems. Many countries around the world are trying to develop their own systems here in France. Ariane, for instance, is developing something called Alma P, which could actually be used by security forces here in France to secure the French capital, for instance, during the 2024 Olympics. Now, all of these systems that we've been talking about have also been purchased by other countries. Germany, for instance, recently purchased Arrow 3.

Starting point is 01:51:17 And even Finland purchased David Sling's anti-defense system. I love it. Directed energy weapons are system. I love it. Direct energy weapons. They're real. If I ran a TV station, I would give this report and then I would have a video of an old Apple two game called missile command, shooting the things out of the air or,

Starting point is 01:51:40 and then cut to space invaders. Yeah. Asteroids. Asteroids. Because you have to have, you know, you have to have some Twitch skills to be able to use these things. Although that system, I'm sure, is all computerized. You don't have to do anything. Push a button.

Starting point is 01:51:55 Yeah. It's bounded. Eventually, that system has to go into play. Oh, yeah. Well, now, the way she said, this is obviously night footage, but it's from a game. To me, they were using it. They're testing it out. What better

Starting point is 01:52:11 opportunity to test it out right now? They're accelerating it. Why wouldn't you just use it? The French are going to be frying people during the Olympics. Pardonnez-moi. I can just see them using it. Why not?

Starting point is 01:52:31 What a world we're in, man. What a world. We got lasers that are just... And if you see the video, it doesn't burn them up. It turns them to dust. Well, that I don't believe. Well, that's what the demo was that that's in the sales brochure i think it just disables in the brochure no it fries them fries them it's cool

Starting point is 01:52:52 it's very cool um okay well all this is going on where everyone's focus is uh and attention is on the middle east and on biden and just everything we're not even talking about ukraine anymore funny how that works uh china they're going they're doing their own thing morning stewart uh it was launched in 2013 and is one of xi jinping's uh signature signature policies and as we're about to see it's really undergone a transformation in the last 10 years. Beijing now says it has inked close to $2 trillion in contracts around the world, contracts that cover a wide array of different investments, roads, high-speed rail, ports, energy infrastructure, among others. Over the course of 10 years, the number of signatories to the project has gone from eight members in 2013 to now 150. This is the Belt and Road Initiative, and they had a big meeting

Starting point is 01:53:52 in China, and everyone showed up. Hey! Yeah, Putin was there, I believe. Yeah, Putin, he's like, hey, let's go over here, let's do our own thing representatives from about 130 countries are gathering at this year's summit in the chinese capital many arguments are made for and against the belt and road initiative on the plus side it's been a much needed vector for investment development and economic growth for global south countries on the downside it has saddled many nations with huge levels of external debt, while in many instances also causing environmental harm and inviting opportunities for corruption. But the Belt and Road Initiative today is not the same project it was 10 years ago, in part because of a response to these criticisms. Researchers have found that as China's economic growth is slowing down, the days of seemingly unlimited overseas borrowing are coming to an end.

Starting point is 01:54:49 China's total overseas development finance was only just below $5 billion in 2021 and far from the peak seen in 2016, just under $90 dollars for that year that's because china's overseas investment policy is now to try and focus on smaller and greener projects is china getting caught up in the in global and climate change are they we can do more green projects i don don't know what that's all about. Seems unlikely. They've avoided it like the plague. Seems unlikely. I'm thinking we delay just a little bit longer we get everything in because I think the donation segmented being our 1600th episode

Starting point is 01:55:38 will be a little longer than normal. It'll be long. Yeah. Well, I got some, I got my favorite story. Maybe I'll save this at the end of the show. It's kind of a pathetic story. I got an oddball story about Venezuela that I thought was like, where's this?

Starting point is 01:55:55 I haven't heard. The government of Venezuela and President Nicolás Maduro and opposition leaders have agreed to new rules ahead of next year's presidential election. The move is expected to clear the way for the United States to ease its harsh sanctions on Venezuela, which have wrecked the economy, forcing millions to flee. As part of the agreement, the Venezuelan government will allow all political parties to choose their candidates, grant permission to delegations from the UN and the European Union to observe elections and give equal media access to all campaigns. There was some kind of deal. This is why the Venezuelans are getting preferential treatment when they show up here. No, some deal went down. Yeah. And this is just a part of it.

Starting point is 01:56:35 I don't know what the whole thing is, but it has a lot to do with getting oil back on track. Because we used to see, I think it was Citico or what, again i forgot which company but there's one company that was a major provider of gasoline in the united states and they sit go maybe sit goes right yeah i think sit go and they would bring this venezuelan crude in and refine it and it would be and it's a big loss to us not to have the venezuelan crude oil into our system uh for gasoline and i think that at some point we decided you know, it's better than we can still talk a big

Starting point is 01:57:10 game about not drilling here, but we got to get this Venezuelan oil back online. They're huge. They got a monster field. Right. Is that the right kind of crude? Is it the good stuff? It's a good crude for us. Yeah. It's not a dirty crude. us yeah yeah it's it's not a dirty crude well we've got but i'm

Starting point is 01:57:28 my understanding is that most of the south american crude is pretty clean well we've got a lot of venezuelans coming into the united states and oh man i actually i should i should play yeah i've got two migration replacement clips um the first one is an update from Chicago. Oh, my goodness. It is not good in Chicago. There's like 40 buses a day showing up. And this is a local Chicago report. The Chicagoans are mad.

Starting point is 01:57:57 They're getting really mad now at what's happening. We are learning much more about the migrant crisis here in Chicago. I spoke to Christina Passione-Zayas, the city's first deputy chief of staff. She gave me insight on how the crisis is impacting the city and state financially. We have more people coming in than we actually have transitioning out of shelters. Already this week, 41 buses have rolled into Chicago. That means there are now 11,000 migrants living in shelters. 4,000 are still sleeping on police station

Starting point is 01:58:27 floors and staying at the airports. There have been calls by city officials to close the Chicago shelter site. This is really interesting. The Inn of Chicago shelter site. And they have this picture, Inn of Chicago Miracle Mile. So this is on

Starting point is 01:58:46 the Miracle Mile, which is the shopping street. Yeah, it's the main part of it. It's the best part of town. Inn of Chicago is a kind of a nice hotel. It's not a shelter spot. They're paying this hotel. And of course, the hotel's like, yeah, it's good. Bring them all in here.

Starting point is 01:59:02 But it's not like the Roosevelt in New York. This is a nice hotel and the website is up and it's just like no vacancies yeah i guess not no kidding you know when i go to the airport i to see a bunch of people camped around in the airport that's really inexcusable oh and and you see it upon. It's in the arrivals hall. They have the curtains around them and stuff, which is very humane. Oh, so humane. There have been calls by city officials to close the Chicago shelter site after reports of criminal behavior, including drug sales and prostitution.

Starting point is 01:59:42 Passione Zaya says it's not shutting down. We are in a lease. You know, that's the other down. We are in a lease. You know, that's the other thing. We're in a lease. So I guess they've leased the Inn of Chicago Hotel. The city has just leased it. This is crazy. You're paying top dollar.

Starting point is 01:59:56 Oh, yeah. This chart shows the number of migrant children now enrolled within the Chicago public schools. 30% of migrants here in chicago are children the migrant crisis is straining resources the state is footing the bill for what they call temporary housing the state is paying on the high end nine thousand dollars in rental assistance over a six-month period of time with that comes help moving in and a starter kit to furnish the apartment. A starter kit. Here's a vase for flowers. That rent lasts for six months and ideally people would have started their legal process, secured legal work authorization and then be able to sustain that apartment. The city put four million dollars towards helping

Starting point is 02:00:40 migrants get temporary housing. Right now there are just a handful of case managers to handle the load to get migrants in temporary rentals. We did reach out to see how many asylum seekers are currently taking advantage of the rental assistance. We haven't heard back from the city on that. That's got to go over big with the residents. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm sure Airbnb is in on it.

Starting point is 02:01:05 Oh, absolutely. They have to be. So in New York, Mayor Eric Adams, he this kind of shows you how much bullcrap AI is. So they use a robocall system which transmogrified the mayor's voice into different languages. Yeah, a couple, two or three languages. This is the same as calling anything blockchain. We have a pet store. We use blockchain. Now we're using AI, says Mayor Adams.

Starting point is 02:01:40 AI is here. It's here. I'm using it. I'm awesome. Adams? AI is here. It's here. I'm using it. I'm awesome. Using AI to improve the delivery of goods and services

Starting point is 02:01:49 is what we're going to do. And we're going to all look back on this one day and say, you know what? This guy, Eric, had it right. I know we have it right. He's from the future. And so those who sit on the sidelines, wake up in the morning and say, let me see what you're going to criticize Eric about today.

Starting point is 02:02:09 Jeff, we're going to use it. It's not against the law. It's not against the law. Because, you know, people want to hear their mayor. What? I was going to, when you're done with the clip, I have a question that's more generalized, but I'll ask it now. Why not find a person that's fluent in the language and have them deliver the messages over the phone, as opposed to some hokey version of that guy who can barely get a sentence out without sounding silly,

Starting point is 02:02:43 and hiring a fluent person to do this. Why don't you do that instead of this nonsense? Well, obviously, there's some payoff. Somebody of his has an AI company. I mean, you know, Spotify did a big announcement. We're Spotify. Now, if you upload your podcast to Spotify, we will translate your voice into Portuguese, into Spanish, into German, into French, into every language imaginable.

Starting point is 02:03:12 You know what's always interesting to me? You never hear anyone promoting the opposite direction. You never hear someone saying, wow, we're now using this so you can listen in english to podcasts in french and you know why because we would only have to listen to three seconds of it and we'd be laughing about how horrible it is because because you know it sucks you know that it sucks it just gotta suck it's got it's gotta suck's got to suck. What would be the best question I have? Because what... Your voice. You know, people want to hear their mayor's voice. It's also a bit of ego, I think. Tell me you did not enjoy waking up in the morning and hearing my voice.

Starting point is 02:03:56 You know, people, think about this. See, one of the problems that we have is that those of us who are able to enjoy life from our normal space, we think everyone feels that way. Well, because, you know, we want to make migrants feel comfortable when they come here illegally. We want their space to be normalized. Do you know how empowering it is if you speak Urdu or Polish? Do you know how empowering it is if you can speak Urdu? Yeah, I feel very powerful. And all of a sudden you're hearing the voice of your mayor speaking your language?

Starting point is 02:04:39 It's so empowering, Mayor Adams. It's really, believe me, the Venezuelans feel empowered because of this. That's empowering to people. And we don't understand it because we always hear English. Everyone is talking in English. But this is a city that's diverse. And, you know, I know what I hear from my constituents that speak different languages. Hey, I heard that robocall from you. Thank you. I understood it.

Starting point is 02:05:08 And this is the right thing to do, and we're going to do it. Let me see. Do you think that there's an example of his robocall in Urdu? Do you have one? Well, now that you mention it, let me see if there's one available. There's got to be. You would think so i want to hear the chinese version i'm i'm thinking now i'm thinking like what company is in on this yeah it's definitely some operation there's some corruption involved it's new york

Starting point is 02:05:38 yeah let me see now unfortunately unfortunately it'll unfortunately. It'll come out. It'll come out in the wash. Yeah, I can't wait. I'm very excited to hear the mayor in Urdu. Yeah, Urdu especially. Using AI to fake his voice. Oh, he's doing ads as well, not just robocalls. Interesting. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:06:11 Anything else? yeah uh anything else well are we how long is our segment going to be at the end probably not too long so we should probably get this out of the way okay this is the uh i think it's a pathetic story it's played as in an unfortunate way there's the black man story i'm gonna have to do this warning amy goodman clip inbound i mean i'm sorry everybody is a lot of people got triggered in the is the black man story. I'm going to have to do this. Warning. Amy Goodman clip inbound. I mean, I'm sorry, everybody. A lot of people got triggered in the troll room since we've been playing Amy clip after Amy clip after Amy clip. Yeah, I got a lot of Amy clips today. Back in the U.S., in Georgia,

Starting point is 02:06:36 a man who was wrongfully imprisoned for 16 years for a crime he didn't commit was killed by police Monday. Leonard Allen Kier, a black man, was driving on a highway in Camden County near the Georgia-Florida state line when a sheriff's deputy pulled him over reportedly for speeding. The officer notified him he'd be arrested before shocking him with a taser at least twice, beating him with a baton, then fatally shooting him. The 53-year-old man was released from a Florida prison in 2020 after he was exonerated for an armed robbery conviction

Starting point is 02:07:04 from 2004. Since his release, he often gave inspirational talks to high school students and had plans to go to college. I just don't believe this story is giving us all the details. No, I'm sure it's not. The bad cop, I guess, pulled a guy over for speeding and killed him. Is what it sounds like. Because he's black. So, and he wanted to go to college. Well, that's Amy. I mean, you know, how can you even play her anymore?

Starting point is 02:07:35 I love it. All right. Let me, I need to do this. I need to do this. Now it's time for our Transmalist Agenda Update. Self-destruct initiated. All right, Transmalist Update, which, as you know, contains a lot of different things.

Starting point is 02:07:52 And the first one, it's just, I have to read this. This is, what was this from? This was, oh, them.us is a great publication. And I'll just read this. Oh, them.us is a great publication. And I'll just read this. I'm an Israeli trans woman who desperately needs Palestine to be free. I need this because I refuse to accept that the massacre of peaceful protesters in Gaza is something that my people keep doing. I need this because I understand that trans liberation and Palestinian liberation are are linked you're starting to figure out how this all works this is why people are on the street but also it's

Starting point is 02:08:32 another flag it's another cool flag we can fly about 10 months ago i figured out the flag yes new flag uh that's a good title too new flag about 10 months, I figured out that I wanted to start hormone replacement therapy and in that way medically transition. There were many reasons for this decision, but one of them was the realization that growing up Israeli and trans in Jerusalem while being expected to become a Zionist man left an aftermath in my body. Wow. I needed help to heal and sense that growing a rounder more tender body would help me connect with the justice loving feminine child inside of me and having such a body would help me grow from that soft place um anyway so then goes on and on and on and on and then and so i waited until the jewish new year to go to my pharmacy and start that phase of my transition.

Starting point is 02:09:26 I imagined the little ritual I would do while taking that first teal-colored pill. New year, new Jew, new me. But when the pharmacy handed me the bottles with my medication, I looked at the label that read, Produced by Teva Pharmaceuticals, and my heart stopped. Teva, or Teva, I guess, a word meaning nature in Hebrew, is an Israeli-owned pharmaceutical company that I have vaguely heard about as a participant in

Starting point is 02:09:53 the economy of the occupation. This must be a mistake, I thought. Excuse me, I said when I went back to the pharmacist. This estrogen is produced by an Israeli company. I'm a supporter of BDS. Could I please have a prescription from a different manufacturer no we're sorry that's the only manufacturer we carry the pharmacist quickly replied i was in shock how could this how could this be i texted all my medicalized trans sisters on my way home and asked a simple question who makes your hormones many of them didn't know offhand it takes a great deal of struggle and an intense amount of questioning for many trans folks to get their hands on this life-saving medication and once we do we want to start immediately and experience an end to questions regarding the validity of our identity and our choices but

Starting point is 02:10:37 my sisters heard the urgency of my call and checked in as the responses came every single one was either teva or a company that a quick google search listed as linked to them how did this one israeli company play such a large role in the cross-gender hormone market how did my body once again find itself as a battleground a settlement an ongoing pawn in this zionist game i feel so bad for these people so we need to get a jingle for these reads oh what would you call them well they're they're they're interesting i don't know yet i i can come up with a name for it pearl clutch kind of in a way it's the pearl clutching with adam curry let's let's all clutch our pearls all right that's not a bad name uh club here pearl clutching with adam curry it's a new podcast

Starting point is 02:11:35 the pearl clutching podcast and then one final clip just to make sure that we all know exactly what the agenda is this is from i believe I believe, Canada's new Democrat Party. Isn't that Trudeau's party? He's a liberal. A liberal party. Isn't it the liberals? Who's the... He's the liberal.

Starting point is 02:11:58 Oh, okay. Well, he should be with this one. This is the new Democrat Party's convention. And before they started off, first, everybody, a few ground rules. A reminder that we will enforce gender parity at the mics. And Adrian explained the process with the yellow card as well. So please remember to give space to those who face systemic barriers and discrimination, including women, black, indigenous, and racialized folk in particular, people living with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQIA plus folk.

Starting point is 02:12:34 Our convention has special speaker priority for gender equity. If you identify with a gender other than men for the purpose of the equity seeking rule, you will have received a piece of yellow card stock during the registration process. So please raise this piece of yellow card stock when you arrive at the mic so that myself and Adrian as chairs can identify you easily. If you don't have one, there will be additional cards available at the mics. As always, if you require support, please flag a volunteer and they will be happy to assist you. As new Democrats, we strive to create inclusive spaces where everyone gets a voice at the table. Except for men, Except for white men.

Starting point is 02:13:26 Can you believe this? Yeah. I can believe it. I'm surprised she doesn't go on and on about enforcing pronouns. Well, I don't. She might have. They're only one step away from taking those yellow cards and cutting them into stars. You're almost there, lady. Keep it up.

Starting point is 02:13:42 Yeah. Put some adhesive on the back. And with that, I would like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who for 1,600 episodes is putting the C in things today, the C in the censorship industrial complex,

Starting point is 02:13:57 ladies and gentlemen. Say hello to my still friend on the other end, the one and only, Mr. John C. DeVore. In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning, all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there. And we celebrate with our...

Starting point is 02:14:18 We celebrate with our trolls today. we say hey stop we celebrate with our trolls today uh we always in fact the trolls have been celebrating with the trolls for well over 14 years i think thanks to void zero who was always who kindly gave up his um his chat room uh has made that the no agenda troll room uh sir bem rose running the no agenda stream we have so many people uh to thank for all these episodes that we have uh been beaming to you particularly on the live shows on the thursdays and the sundays and why don't we just what is a normal count for a thursday uh 1800 oh okay well even uh two well two hours and 15 minutes

Starting point is 02:15:08 into it 1977 good oh good here that's very nice hello troll year for port port 1977 well the trolls are they come back they all run away they scurry whenever i try to count them it's a good year for the trolls as well the trolls the troll roomroom.io, or if you prefer, you can get a modern podcast app, podcastapps.com. You'll need it. Believe me. Eventually, you're going to need it because things are going to get start to platform. It's already happening to many podcasts. So get one at podcastapps.com.

Starting point is 02:15:42 Well. What have you heard? Well, they de-atform stuff every week. Every week. Conspiracy, disinformation, misinformation. Oh, yeah. It's gone all the time. Look, can you get Alex Jones on Apple Podcasts?

Starting point is 02:16:00 No, that's been for years. Is he a horribly dangerous man? Not by my standards. Can you get monkey works on apple podcasts i never heard of it monkey works yeah we've talked about monkey works yeah no you can't get any of that stuff oh no and it's not just that there's there's all this it happens all the time i I'd say they remove, on average, 8 to 10 podcasts a week. And I'll get a list. I will gladly get a list for you. Oh, yeah, we should have a list. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:16:34 Yes, it should be an honor roll. But get one of those because it alerts you when we go live. It has the bat signal. It has a live stream. It has the troll room. It's really good stuff. You can also follow us at noagendasocial.com, which I'm now barely active on. It got so bad on No Agenda Social.

Starting point is 02:16:59 I didn't notice it changing one iota one way or the other. Well, I look at stuff that everyone's posting, not just stuff I follow. And all I see is anti-Jew memes, anti-Palestine, anti-Muslim. It's all sides of it. And it's all posting from other places. Every link is to something on Twitter or Reddit or somewhere else. There's almost no original thought. I guess that's not the point of social media.

Starting point is 02:17:33 But I would also like to thank Aaron for keeping that running. Out of the goodness of his heart. He took that over for me years ago. You know, I started that and was about a year and a half, two years into it. I'm like, this is too much work. There's too much to do. So he's been an excellent steward of that. He also posted about what I've been saying about Noogen to social.

Starting point is 02:17:54 He says, hey, you know, everybody, it is what you make out of it. Well, there you go. I don't see you posting that often. I post constantly. What are you posting? Memes? If I can find a good meme meme i'll post it for sure i love how this is contingent on no agenda social that thinks adam hates memes it's like no you do no i don't i hate bad i'm in that contingent by the way i only hate bad memes

Starting point is 02:18:22 it stems from the knowledge of how much storage space it sucks up by everyone posting all these. Oh, there you have it. Posting all of these pictures. The back end. Yeah, the back end. The back end suffers, people. You're not the boss of us. Somebody just say that.

Starting point is 02:18:44 Oh, yeah, many.'ve now i'm becoming you i'm starting to block people it's like i don't want to see you anymore i'm just not interested there's always a practical method was blocking people it's not like you're becoming me no i'm becoming you i am i'm becoming you and you're becoming a lot you're blocked and you're becoming me. Blocked. You're blocked. And you're becoming me. People have noticed you're cussing a lot more. I try to keep the cussing to zero. Yeah, but it's failing. You're failing.

Starting point is 02:19:12 There's a lot of cussing. I haven't cussed today once. True. True. But the show's not over. Not over. No, I love the memes that I'm in, you idiots. No, if you have a meme about me, I love them. But they're really...

Starting point is 02:19:25 No, he just wants a narcissistic meme. Yeah, they're rarely any good. There's a couple good ones I've seen of you. Which one? The one where I'm all like on fire? That one? I didn't see that one. That's probably good.

Starting point is 02:19:36 I like the ones... Sounds right. I like the ones where I'm on fire. No, I just have other things to do with my life. That's all. Know it here. Here it is. No agenda social used to make me smile.

Starting point is 02:19:47 It used to make me happy. That's what memes do. But no, it's doom and gloom. Everything sucks. No, it's not funny. I don't know. I can't put my finger on it, I guess. But if it's good enough for you, then you should keep going there.

Starting point is 02:20:04 I think it's terrific. You're just sucking up to the trolls. Follow Adamant. Follow John C. Dvorak at noagentosocial.com. Post some memes. He loves them. Actually, also follow the real Dvorak at Twitter, please. Oh.

Starting point is 02:20:19 I'm down like a thousand people. Oh, no. That's probably the actual real people that followed you. Oh, no. It's hard to say. There's a lot of new... I'll probably write this up on the sub stack. There's a lot of new types of fake accounts.

Starting point is 02:20:43 I love that. I'm just looking at the troll room. Adam takes memes too seriously. No, I love that. I'm just looking at the troll room. Adam takes memes too seriously. No, I don't. I'm just sour on social media in general. He's sour. No, just sour. Leave the word sour.

Starting point is 02:20:55 Don't even put anything about it. I'm sour. I'm sour. What can I tell you? I'm just sour. I'm sour. It's from living in Fredericksburg. Oh, man.

Starting point is 02:21:04 Fredericksburg is the best. What are you talking about? Yeah. See, I know what you like. You liked it when I was divorced and freewheeling and smoking weed and all crazy. That's what you liked. That's the Adam you liked. Well, I'm sorry.

Starting point is 02:21:18 That Adam is no longer here. I'm just... That Adam was short-lived. And you were so disappointed. I mean, not the weed part, but that Adam was short lived. And you were so, I mean, not the weed part, but that's beside the point, but the freewheeling out there getting,

Starting point is 02:21:31 you know, uh, finding girls left and right is done. Finding girls. Hey, yeah. How many, how many did I really find?

Starting point is 02:21:42 You must, but 10. Okay. Oh, goodness. So I just want to continue thanking everybody who's a part of No Agenda Nation, which is all of the producers, of course, but we do have so many people who have participated, specifically in the Time, Talent, and Treasure.

Starting point is 02:22:00 We have No Agenda Artwork Generator. We have the No Agenda Meetups. We have Gitmo lists that lists all the so many different websites, the No Agenda Book Club, No Agenda Shop. It really has made No Agenda Nation what it is today. And I want you to take that seriously. The time, talent, treasure is real. There's no way we could come anywhere near what we're doing without that selfless return of value. And along with that comes treasure as well. We'll talk about that in a moment

Starting point is 02:22:37 because people have just been so gracious, helping us throughout all these years, making it possible. I think, when did I really, when did we really go full-time? Was it around episode 200, I think? No, it was way before that. Was it? It was sub 100.

Starting point is 02:23:02 No, it wasn't sub 100, no. I think so. No, because wasn't sub 100. No. I think so. No, because 100, I was ready to quit. Well, 200 was a big deal because that's when we had the Deuce Club. And the Deuce Club was a very successful promotion. It was like the most successful promotion we had. And it continued to be such probably for another 300 or 400 shows. We had the art, the Deuce Club art.

Starting point is 02:23:28 People joined the Deuce Club. Yeah, the Deuce Club was big. It was huge. What was the one episode that we kept repeating? Is that the 100.5? I can't remember. Yes, we did a retrospective. I can't remember it's it's just we kept just yes we did a uh retrospective i can't remember the number a retrospective show that we kept repeating with layers and layers of more retrospection right until we kind of ran out of room and this thing is floating around still i

Starting point is 02:23:59 can't remember what the show number is somebody in the troll room will know exactly what the show number is. Somebody in the troll room will know exactly what the show number is. Yeah. I think we did the last one about four years ago. And I wanted to do another one, but eh. I think the last one covered it, covered it all. I don't know if we can talk much more about how we got the jingles and how we went from here to there

Starting point is 02:24:21 and who's weenie in the butt and all the rest of it. Oh yeah, weenie in the butt. all the rest of it weenie in the butt yeah that's right i mean do we even need to do that anymore we we haven't done that in a while i don't know if we ever need to do it again honestly no i think that one episode does the trick yeah yeah it does it does um so yeah i mean really there's just too many people to thank that that's that's the real problem there's too many people to thank that that's that's the real problem there's too many people to thank for all of the time and talent you've put into it but we do always like to thank our artists um as we have you know no art generator where artists upload art

Starting point is 02:24:58 um sometimes in droves just amazing amounts i think every show we have at least 10 pieces to choose from, if not more. So we want to thank Matt Boisvert. I got an education. Boisvert, I'm sorry, Boisvert. Boisvert, you spell it Boisvert, but it's Boisvert. It's a la Francaise, Matt. For the artwork for episode 1599,

This is an op. uh for the artwork for episode 1599 we titled that one drop the op drop the op this is an op another op uncovered yeah we got a jingle for it too yeah now this was an interesting piece because i don't think either of us noticed when we first saw this israel ukraine hamas and nato with the ir and n of each of those highlighted that hamas was misspelled ah yeah i'm noticing it now and i wonder if it's like hummus that was that's that's what a lot of people thought it's like oh wait a minute was this a subtle dig at hummus by by putting uh two a's we love hummus we hummus. We do love hummus.

Starting point is 02:26:07 Everybody loves hummus if they've, you know. How could you not love hummus? And especially if you've ever been to the Middle East where the old lady's going in the basement, you're always told this, yo, there's a couple old moms down in the basement grinding the beans down, you know, with a pestle and they do it by hand and the stuff is so peanut butter, creamy smooth.

Starting point is 02:26:24 It's astonishing. It's good, smooth it's astonishing it's good it's good it's good holy mackerel have you seen how many pieces of art have been submitted for today's show quite a few wow well let's see what else there was um dave jackson you can fast forward now dave jackson says he hates the art segment for some reason he listened to the donation segment but he hates the art so he's to miss my story about how he got to the PhD certificate diploma.

Starting point is 02:26:51 First, let's talk about the options we had. None. Well, I like the Spreadinator. Yeah, you did. I kind of like the Spreadinator. We used Spreadinator as the opening clip, though, which kind of removes it from music. Yeah, ruined it.

Starting point is 02:27:12 Let's see. Was there anything else that we liked? Well, The Truth Lies, which is the Spreadinator, was the other. Okay, that one. I thought the red yarn was okay. Oh, yeah, you were onto the red yarn thing. I thought it was too boring. Well, yeah.

Starting point is 02:27:30 I mean, we both just agreed on the... It was a fallback, though. It was a fallback agreement. It was, yeah. Yeah, it's hard. I mean, what is this thing with Dame Kenny? Dame Kenny, man, she's lost the plot. What did she do?

Starting point is 02:27:48 She had this stork with a car that looks nothing like a Volvo, and it was titled, It's a Volvo. And we had that Volvo. Oh, the Volvo thing, yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:31:12 Explain the PhD, because we also have some PhDs. Well, we're giving out a PhD, and we got 15 so far, people getting them. Wow. Wow. wow it's from the Noah Janda show you'll be granted a PhD doctor of philosophy PhD in media deconstruction oh it's a

Starting point is 02:31:35 PhD in philosophy of media deconstruction yeah that's what a PhD is alright I didn't realize people say I'm getting a doctor of media. That's what I thought. There's no doctor of English either. There's no doctor of math.

Starting point is 02:31:50 It's a real PhD of a real subject, philosophy. Yeah. I have to tell this story. I saw the certificate, by the way. Dynamite. I'm putting mine on my wall. I'm putting mine on my wall. I'm putting mine on my wall.

Starting point is 02:32:07 Does it come with a frame? Is it framed? No, no, it come, no. You get your own damn frame. Get your own damn frame. So I have to tell the story of how I came to this, doing this idea. It is an idea. It goes back to when i was in college i was a freshman at berkeley and a friend of mine and

Starting point is 02:32:28 myself during the early days of the universal life church we actually got a hold of kirby hensley yes i i have a i am a minister of the universal life church i have one of those almost everybody is i think there's 14 million or something like that it's huge number and so we went to this is the early days so we went to his house in modesto who is we me and andrew hood my partner in crime he was also a student at cal is andrew still with us is he still alive yeah i don't know where he, though. He doesn't listen to the show. He would have said something. So, we go to

Starting point is 02:33:10 Modesto. Kirby lived in a little cottage, kind of a farmhouse, just in a tract, not a tract of houses, but like on some acreage. And so, we went in there and chatted with him, and he told us what he was up to. And so, before I give this give this little spiel, this story, I looked up the Wikipedia page on the Universal Life Church and Hensley.

Starting point is 02:33:34 Unbelievable bullcrap. So you're going to get the real story here. But the general idea is, and this is why I got my minister of the Universal Life Church, it is a title that is so official, even though it's just basically you send the guy money and he sends back this ordained certificate, that I was able to perform weddings legally as a top 40 DJ trick. Hey, everybody, I'm going to do a mass wedding. It's a great bit.

Starting point is 02:34:09 It's legal in all the states except Virginia. Make note. Interesting. So anyway, so we went in there and we got our minister's certificates. And then he mentioned, would you like a doctor of divinity? And I said, oh, yeah. certificates and then he mentioned you would you like a doctor of divinity and i said oh yeah now in the in the new in the uh wiki page it says you have to get a bunch of training to be how to start a church no he just gave us a couple doctors of divinity now a couple of things that to note one

Starting point is 02:34:37 he said he was illiterate couldn't read but memorized the bible by having it read to him and he was a baptist minister, I didn't know that. The reason he started the Universal Life Church, according to him at the time, was very similar to L. Ron Hubbard's story, which is that the government taxes, he thought it was a jip that these churches were getting away with not having to pay taxes, and he thought anyone who starts just a one-man church should be able to not pay taxes, and that was the whole reason for starting this.

Starting point is 02:35:12 He had some grudge against the tax man. That is not what is told in the wiki page. It's more of, oh, love and light. It's a bullcrap story. It was kind of an interesting, irascible guy. He was really a funny guy. Did he become rich off of this? I don't know if he did.

Starting point is 02:35:31 He didn't seem like he cared. He wasn't one of those guys. He was just a nice guy. Very personable. Alabama, slight accent. And so we're leaving. And this is what, to this day, this sticks in my craw. And I don't think they do this anymore.

Starting point is 02:35:49 But at the time, as two of us were leaving, we had a nice chat with him, probably an hour. And he says, hey, do you want a PhD? And we're leaving. And I said, oh, because I got the Doctor of Divinity, I think. That's pretty cool. So, and I said, oh, because I got the Doctor of Divinity, I think, and that's pretty cool, so, and I said no. Oh, no, and this is your way of getting back at your horrible faux pas, your canard. It was a complete blunder, looking back on it, I don't even know if they do the PhDs anymore, but he said, he says, you want a PhD, I'll give it to you anything you want.

Starting point is 02:36:22 Wow, wow, and you said no. I stupidly said no. Oh, no. So this has been galling me forever. So I said, hell with it. We're going to do it. All right. And this is a promotion that lasts how long?

Starting point is 02:36:36 I think we're going to do it probably halfway through November, maybe to the end. Okay. Maybe. It's a 16th anniversary promotion. Yeah. 16th. It's a 16 year, 16th anniversary end. Okay. Maybe. It's the 16th anniversary promotion. Yeah, 16th. It's a 16-year, 16th anniversary promotion. Okay. Definitely continues for the next couple of weeks.

Starting point is 02:36:52 And it's on beautiful paper, like real diploma paper. Good stuff. No, it looks, if you looked at it from any, from more than one foot away, it looks like a, and it's got a seal,

Starting point is 02:37:04 the whole thing. We got some seals made to say no agenda. Is that a raised seal? Yes, the stamp. Oh, wow. We got the stamp. It says no agenda scholar. Oh, wow.

Starting point is 02:37:15 It does. I love it. All right. Well. So it's a donation of $1,000 or more. It could be added to anything else you're doing, but it can't be like, you know, it's not an additive thing, you know, where you pay ten bucks a month for five years and get it. No, no. Typically, you'd have to pay fifty thousand dollars per year for four years. Yeah. Yeah. We're saving money.

Starting point is 02:37:41 Let's thank our executive producers and knights and dames who showed up for episode 1600 with a lot of show number donations as john alluded to jonathan polar is from chorusville virginia hey he can't be a minister of the universal life church sorry well you can but you just can't marry anyone in virginia and he says first heard adam on tom woods in j of 2021.

That's when I quit. Nice. I think the 45,000 hours of no agenda education you two have produced is more than worthy of a Ph.D. degree. I don't think it's 45,000.

Starting point is 02:49:11 Henceforth, I would be proud to be known as Sir Skyrite, Doctor of Media Deconstruction Studies. Somehow I don't think it's 45,000. Maybe 4,500? I said 45,000, but it says 45,000 on his note. Oh. No, it doesn't. It says 4,500. What did I say?

Starting point is 02:49:33 45,000. You think it's 45,000? No, that's what you said. Oh, no, that's what I said. I misread it. Okay, got it. Thanks for confusing us, Sir Sky Wright. You're welcome.

Starting point is 02:50:03 Now, I have something to say here to Dr. Kelly. We just know it first, and I'll tell it to him. In the morning, Adam and John, here's my donation of 1,000 Canadian dollar at 730 USD. When I heard about receiving a doctorate of deconstruction, I knew I had to have that title. This 1,000 also upgrades me to baronet. Please play the gonna need a Bitcoin jingle. Thanks for keeping us sane, sir dude named Dr. Kelly, knight of the Fraser Valley.

Starting point is 02:50:27 Before I play that, tell us what you wanted to say. I don't know. I'd like to know what link he clicked to donate this money because it's one of the links that hooks to the old legacy account. So he sent this note in and Jay sent me a note saying, I don't have a record of this guy's donation. Look in the legacy account and there it was right on the top. And I don't

Starting point is 02:50:50 know how you get there from here. Maybe he still just has that legacy account in his PayPal. It hangs around. Something like that does go on, but it just mystifies me. Yeah. And so we're still honoring this. So Scandinavians can now become a PhD on the cheap.

Starting point is 02:51:07 Well, this was a little gotcha that he brought up. Obviously I was not unaware of the idea. I couldn't, but no, we have to honor them. We've been honoring the can. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:51:20 These, this, these monies. So I guess, yeah, as you mentioned on, and by the way, so such, it's going to be a pain in the ass

Starting point is 02:51:26 to ship anything to Canada. As you mentioned on DH Unplugged, we got to be nice to the Scandinavians because we went to war with them and they kicked our ass. They did. They're saying that all hell is going to break loose and you're going to need a Bitcoin.

Starting point is 02:54:39 Real easy, like I knew he'd come up to me, and he said, Hi, back, smiling. Then I said, not a joke. I give him my word as a non-biden i said i really love it when you have adam curry on your show what an idiot i thought to myself but then he just started going off about how awesome you are and how smart you are and whatnot it was very funny keep up the good work next time i see him i'll name drop john c devorek well i've told this story before. I caught one of the episodes, and I caught Beck live on the air going on about how he thinks you're his brother. Yes, from another mother, yes.

The health care situation is also dire, as many medical facilities and conflict areas have been shuttered.

Starting point is 03:30:59 Human rights groups have condemned the ongoing targeting and killing of civilians and journalists. The Committee to Protect Journalists is demanding an investigation into the October 10th killing of Sudanese journalist Halima Idris Salim, who died after RSF fighters reportedly ran over her with a vehicle while she covered the conflict in the city of Amdurman.

For years to come, all Americans have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.

Starting point is 03:34:44 We're going to be okay. I call it building a better America. I know news about what's happening can seem alarming to all Americans. But the next few days and weeks and months will be hard on them. But I want you to know we're going to be okay. When the history of this era is written, America will be weaker and the rest of the world stronger.

That's why my top priority is getting Americans under control. Throughout our history, we've caused more chaos. Every administration says they'll do it. Now everyone sees it clearly clearly i really mean to think about that it is in this moment that our character this generation is formed our purpose is found

Starting point is 03:35:55 our future is forward that's what's happening let's end america as we know it and we stand ready to do more if necessary. I really mean it. Think about that.
