Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalist at Comedy Central, It's America's only.
Speaker 1: Source for news.
Speaker 2: This is the Daily Churn.
Speaker 3: With your host song.
Speaker 4: Hello, Hello, the bu Well Thomas to the Daily Show Miami.
Speaker 1: And Josh Jordan.
Speaker 5: We got an unbelievable show today. Christian Amanpor has gotta
Speaker 5: be joining us to fable book part the big news today,
Speaker 5: the world ended.
Speaker 1: I think, are we even? Are we? Salon? I don't.
Speaker 1: There wasn't eclipse.
Speaker 5: It happened the sun and the moon did the thing
Speaker 5: that everyone's been saying they were going to do for centuries.
Speaker 5: Now the path got totalitied, and now both planets we'll
Speaker 5: go back to years of ignoring each other before they
Speaker 5: inevitably hook up again. Textbook toxic relationship. But not everyone
Speaker 5: was happy about today's celestial seasonings.
Speaker 6: For danger lurks the flocks, there's alert a rare celestial
Speaker 6: event collides with a policy failure on the ground. The
Speaker 6: southern border will be directly in the path of totality
Speaker 6: today when the moon covers the Sun for nearly four minutes.
Speaker 5: We are told that officials are bracing for higher traffic
Speaker 5: than usual and that means a opportunity for smugglers and
Speaker 5: cartels and migrants.
Speaker 1: To come right in, or they could just wait till nighttime.
Speaker 5: Really, they don't have.
Speaker 1: The eclipse four minutes.
Speaker 5: I gotta say, is there nothing Fox can't tie to immigration?
Speaker 1: This is this here?
Speaker 5: Cicada infestation provides perfect cover for Venezuelans. Of course, if
Speaker 5: you combine the dangers of today's eclipse with Friday's seismic
Speaker 5: activity in the northeast, well, the more troubling picture emerges.
Speaker 5: Republican Congress from Marjor Taylor Green tweeted, the earthquake and
Speaker 5: Monday solar eclipse are assigned from God that Americans need
Speaker 5: to repent. How do you know? How would you know
Speaker 5: that that is what God meant? Why would God be
Speaker 5: so obtuse? Why would he do that?
Speaker 7: Or she?
Speaker 1: Why would she? Or how crazy would.
Speaker 5: It be if God insisted on they them?
Speaker 1: But honestly, is this shit really how God works?
Speaker 5: I must let man know to repent their wickedness.
Speaker 1: How Lord, I don't know, dim the lights for like
Speaker 1: four minutes, very specific path? And God, what else? Give
Speaker 1: New Jersey a little shape.
Speaker 5: Enough to render the buildings to rubble and to bring
Speaker 5: people to their knees in repentance and atonement.
Speaker 1: No, just a little like.
Speaker 5: A jersey, just a little nookie like oh jersey. Oh,
Speaker 5: but divine messaging aside. It was the biggest story of
Speaker 5: the weekend. So for more on the eclipse, we have
Speaker 5: full team coverage.
Speaker 1: Let's go live to Ronnie.
Speaker 4: Chang in Colonel Texas, Grace cool E Slick in Niagara.
Speaker 5: What a day, What a spectacular day, Grace. What is
Speaker 5: the mood out there in Niagara Falls?
Speaker 7: It's a clips day.
Speaker 1: The sky was dark, but the moods were bright because this.
Speaker 7: Event was out of this world.
Speaker 5: Fantastic, John, Oh, Grace, that's fantastic, Ronnie.
Speaker 3: Thanks John. The eclipse what's fine, But too bad they
Speaker 3: don't make us special kind of glasses that will allow
Speaker 3: us to look truly directly at the horrors now occurring
Speaker 3: around the world, especially in Gaza's.
Speaker 5: That's very true, Ronnie, very true. Powerful. Those are powerful words, Grace.
Speaker 8: Oh, Gauza, Gaza.
Speaker 7: It's terrible, terrible, not terrible.
Speaker 8: Was the Crispy Cream Special Edition Solar Eclipse donut I
Speaker 8: had earlier? It was in the path of tasteality.
Speaker 7: It was really really good.
Speaker 3: Is that a tambourine.
Speaker 9: Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 7: No, Well technically it is.
Speaker 8: I was gonna do an eclipse dance, but it doesn't
Speaker 8: seem appropriate.
Speaker 1: I'd really like to see the dance.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, do the dance.
Speaker 8: The moon rise in the day time, block out the sun.
Speaker 8: It's so fun, family and friends, the joint ever ends.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that dance reminds me of the moral
Speaker 3: dance we all do every day to hide all complicity
Speaker 3: in the Wall's atrocities.
Speaker 1: And I hope that was clear in my dance. Thank
Speaker 1: you both very much, Grace and Ronnie. Everybody well done.
Speaker 5: But the other big milestone from the eclipse is, as
Speaker 5: Ronnie mentioned, the war in Gaza is now.
Speaker 1: Six months old. I think for a wellness check.
Speaker 5: But as the war has grinded on, justice is beginning
Speaker 5: to seem more like cruelty. But not to worry, America,
Speaker 5: the Shining City on a Hill is on the case
Speaker 5: with our universal values in the.
Speaker 10: Great battle for freedom between a rules based order and
Speaker 10: one governed.
Speaker 5: By brute force.
Speaker 1: In this battle, we need to be clear eyed.
Speaker 5: And just to clarify, we are the freedom folks. We're
Speaker 5: the rules people. We're not the brute force ones. I
Speaker 5: think we all know who the Brewte force ones are
Speaker 5: in this case, Vladimir, and know that America will call
Speaker 5: you out when you violate the basic tenets of humanity
Speaker 5: weaponizing food, using it as a tool as a weapon
Speaker 5: in its war against Ukraine.
Speaker 7: It's unconscionable.
Speaker 1: Should not happen. It's unconscionable.
Speaker 5: Weaponizing food in Ukraine is not kosher nor helal. Sorry
Speaker 5: if I'm both sides of this, speaking of which there
Speaker 5: is a literal famine in Gaza caused by the war.
Speaker 5: I assume America will also consider this unconscionable.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, we're concerned about that, no question about it.
Speaker 5: Well, you can't spend spell unconscionable without concern, or at
Speaker 5: least part of it.
Speaker 1: The con part you can reuse the COEO. You get
Speaker 1: the point.
Speaker 5: How about the free press? Ordinarily we are strongly in
Speaker 5: favor of free press. We also condemn the Russian government's
Speaker 5: continued targeting and repression of journalists.
Speaker 1: You hear that, Russia. We condemn.
Speaker 5: In no uncertain terms any repression of a free press.
Speaker 1: I think you all know what's coming next.
Speaker 5: More journalists have been killed in Gaza in six months
Speaker 5: than anywhere else in the world, and a new Israeli
Speaker 5: law says they can ban media outlets they consider a threat.
Speaker 2: So as it relates to Al Jazeer zero specific we've
Speaker 2: seen the reports.
Speaker 12: If it is true, if it is true, a move
Speaker 12: like this is concerning.
Speaker 1: We're concerned.
Speaker 5: Again, how about if it's true, we condemn it. And
Speaker 5: by the way, is it true? Like it feels like
Speaker 5: you could probably just go someone and be like, is
Speaker 5: this true, And if they're like, yeah, it's true, you
Speaker 5: can be like, that's concerning, not condemning, but concerning.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, perhaps these are just peripheral issues.
Speaker 5: What about the bedrock rule of international law, no taking
Speaker 5: land by force when Russia does it.
Speaker 1: We're pretty clear.
Speaker 10: The entire world has a stake in making sure that
Speaker 10: no nation, no aggressor, is allowed to take a neighbor's
Speaker 10: territory by force. The American people will never waiver on
Speaker 10: our commitment to those values.
Speaker 5: Ish See, this is where Israel's action get interesting, because
Speaker 5: you might say Israel's war is different than Ukraine's. Israel's
Speaker 5: responding to an attack and a hostage crisis, but in
Speaker 5: the midst of that, they pulled a little something in
Speaker 5: the West Bank. On March twenty second that might be notable.
Speaker 9: As the US Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln made his
Speaker 9: latest visit to Israel, the Israeli government announced that it
Speaker 9: was declaring state land, only two thousand acres of land
Speaker 9: in the occupied West Bank. This latest Israeli appropriation is
Speaker 9: the largest land transfersons the Oslo Accords were signed in
Speaker 9: nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 5: Nineteen ninety three, and that's not even Gaza, that's the
Speaker 5: West Bank. So you can't say has anything to do
Speaker 5: with defending yourself against some mass Let's see if America
Speaker 5: upholds its rule against taking land. I haven't seen the
Speaker 5: fcidity of this, but anyone taking steps that makes things
Speaker 5: more difficult, more challenging this time than something.
Speaker 10: That we would have a problem with, you.
Speaker 1: Don't know about it. They did it the day you visited.
Speaker 5: Why do we tiptoe around on eggshells. They slap America
Speaker 5: in the face, and our response as well, if anyone
Speaker 5: slapped us in the face, it'd be concerning, that's for sure.
Speaker 5: I mean raising a hand to a delicate body part
Speaker 5: of the face. If true, the verbal gymnastics that the
Speaker 5: American government must undertake so as not to offend the
Speaker 5: delicate sensibilities of a country.
Speaker 1: We provide most of the weapons.
Speaker 5: For is Yeah, every time America tells the world that
Speaker 5: there's something we won't allow, Israel seems to say challenge accepted.
Speaker 5: Are they willfully trying to provoke us? Or perhaps they're
Speaker 5: just reading our principles from right to left? It's over.
Speaker 5: It's really, to be honest, it's kind of a barm
Speaker 5: it's for joke, but over thirty thousand have died in
Speaker 5: Gaza since the war started. Some of them am our soldiers,
Speaker 5: thirty thousand of them children.
Speaker 11: Our response, since the early hours, we've been urging our
Speaker 11: Israeli counterparts to act with as much precision as they can,
Speaker 11: and they're targeting our constant efforts to urge the Israelis
Speaker 11: to be as precise and careful as possible. We can
Speaker 11: still continue to urge Is to be more careful and
Speaker 11: more precise. A need for the Israeli defense forces to
Speaker 11: act with precision. We continue to work with the Israelis
Speaker 11: to make sure that they are as precise as as
Speaker 11: they can be.
Speaker 1: See they're not listening. Have you tried synonyms for precision?
Speaker 11: We continue to stress to our Israeli counterparce that they
Speaker 11: be as discriminate and careful in their targeting as possible,
Speaker 11: Be as cautious and deliberate, and as careful as they can.
Speaker 11: To be more careful and more deliberate, be very deliberate
Speaker 11: in the most discreete deliberate, careful, cautious way possible, the
Speaker 11: utmost care a special.
Speaker 12: Burden to be mindful, to be mindful. What is this
Speaker 12: hot yoga? We just you know, we've seen the bombing,
Speaker 12: and we are urging Netan Yahoo to be present. What
Speaker 12: are we doing here?
Speaker 5: The subtext of all this is America knows this is wrong,
Speaker 5: but it apparently doesn't seem to have the courage to
Speaker 5: say it in a straightforward manner. American Israel both know
Speaker 5: that you cannot bomb your way into safety. We learned
Speaker 5: that lesson in Irock and Afghanistan. They learned it in
Speaker 5: southern Lebanon. They laid siege there, occupied the southern area
Speaker 5: for twenty years. All it did was birth and strength
Speaker 5: and hesbola. And they're about to do it all over again.
Speaker 5: And we are letting them real friends take the keys,
Speaker 5: because friends don't let friends bomb that much and.
Speaker 1: After this recent week with so much.
Speaker 5: Horror, perhaps America finally finds the need for a new
Speaker 5: approach with Israel with more justice and less cruelty. The
Speaker 5: US and Israel are closing in on what would be
Speaker 5: their largest weapons deal since the war in Gaza began. Well,
Speaker 5: I don't know about you, but if that's true, I
Speaker 5: find it concerning. And with that devastating conclusion, we turn
Speaker 5: for more analysis.
Speaker 1: Back to gray Schoolish Meid, Grace.
Speaker 11: No no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 6: No no no, no no no.
Speaker 1: Right Gray Schoolish Meid. Everybody.
Speaker 5: When we come back, Chris John Amafoor, we'll be joining us.
Speaker 4: Don't go away, Gracechoolish. What about the Dallas Oh my god.
Speaker 5: See it is international anchor and host of the Amanpur Hour.
Speaker 5: Please welcome to the program, Christi Amanpur.
Speaker 13: Hello, Hello, Hi, I wanted to have you.
Speaker 1: Want to talk to you. The world is ending? Well
Speaker 1: it seems that way.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's why the eclipse was so beautiful today because
Speaker 2: it looked like it was ending, and yet it brought
Speaker 2: so many people together in this incredibly divided country.
Speaker 7: Honestly, was very emotional. It was very emotional.
Speaker 1: So just the answer to this is we just got
Speaker 1: to do this every day now?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I think can't.
Speaker 5: We just protect put something over it and just block
Speaker 5: it on there?
Speaker 1: What is happening? What is the frustration you're working over it?
Speaker 1: What is your name?
Speaker 2: Is CNN and the big read letters.
Speaker 7: I've heard, you know, really most trusted in news.
Speaker 5: What that's a new brand? Let me ask you this.
Speaker 5: We see it on air and everybody's working so hard.
Speaker 5: What are the journalists behind the scenes talk about as
Speaker 5: their frustrations?
Speaker 1: What would they like to see covered? How would they
Speaker 1: like to see it covered?
Speaker 5: Or are they executing it in the manner at which
Speaker 5: they think they're satisfied.
Speaker 7: Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2: You know, you've been talking a lot about Israel, obviously
Speaker 2: about Ukraine. Our major problem covering Israel Gaza right now,
Speaker 2: this phase of it, which has been going on for
Speaker 2: six months, is that we can't get there. This is
Speaker 2: an unprecedented situation. Journalists are not on the ground in
Speaker 2: Gaza and it is.
Speaker 1: Well, they're journalists on the ground, You're right, You're.
Speaker 2: Right, I'm talking about independent Western journalists are not able
Speaker 2: to get or anybody else except for those people who
Speaker 2: are absolutely risking their lives every single day media workers journalists,
Speaker 2: almost one hundred have been killed according to the CPJ,
Speaker 2: in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon in six months. It
Speaker 2: is an unprecedented situation and it goes beyond the horror
Speaker 2: of what's happened to those people in their families. It's
Speaker 2: about telling the story of Gaza, telling the story of
Speaker 2: the Palestinians.
Speaker 7: You know, actual local journalists would.
Speaker 2: Tell you about a people, right, a people, not just
Speaker 2: you know, dehumanizing numbers or the like, but a people.
Speaker 2: And when we go to do our job, and I've
Speaker 2: been doing this pretty much since the first Golf War,
Speaker 2: we go there to be the eyes and ears of
Speaker 2: everybody who can't go from who's not a local.
Speaker 1: But we're not able to get this. It's an American problem, because.
Speaker 7: No, it's really problem. They won't No, no, I mean, I
Speaker 7: don't mean that.
Speaker 5: I mean that we in this country might not be
Speaker 5: getting the information. But on social media, on various things
Speaker 5: or without Jazerira, the world is certainly seeing a very
Speaker 5: different picture than what Western journal is showing.
Speaker 7: That is very true.
Speaker 2: And you know, if this terrible law goes through to
Speaker 2: throw out any organization from Gaza, including al Jazeera. It
Speaker 2: would be a terrible thing, yet another chilling effect on
Speaker 2: trying to tell the truth.
Speaker 7: In this raging war.
Speaker 2: So this is a real, real problem, and it is
Speaker 2: true many people do get you know, daily news from
Speaker 2: social media, from actually, as I say, the very brave
Speaker 2: camera people who are there with their phones and with
Speaker 2: their cameras and we're feeding things.
Speaker 5: It is remarkable you were covering these types of events
Speaker 5: from nineteen eighty three. We all remember that was the
Speaker 5: occupation in southern Lebanon.
Speaker 7: It was right the Israelis invaded Beirut. They were after
Speaker 7: the PLO.
Speaker 5: And then there was eleven civil and the rise of Hesboalah.
Speaker 5: In that occupation, there was the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
Speaker 5: We're watching these stories play out redundantly.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, there's two things.
Speaker 2: Obviously, one is that you know, history is not always
Speaker 2: a great teacher.
Speaker 7: But the other is that.
Speaker 2: You know, leadership matters, and we are in a crisis
Speaker 2: of leadership around the world, I genuinely believe. And even
Speaker 2: as bad as it was in the nineteen ninety seventy nine,
Speaker 2: in the eighties and all that, there was a period,
Speaker 2: let's say, in this part of the world in the
Speaker 2: Middle East in the nineties where there.
Speaker 7: Was an actual peace process.
Speaker 2: Now we can pooh pooh it, we can laugh at it,
Speaker 2: we can say that it failed. But it failed because
Speaker 2: the people responsible for enacting it didn't do it and
Speaker 2: actually sabotaged it. So there have been instances where peace
Speaker 2: can be forged, where both sides can come together, and
Speaker 2: it depends on the leaders.
Speaker 1: You know, but this will take more than both sides.
Speaker 1: This isn't even both sides.
Speaker 5: This will this will have to be a regional piece. Yeah,
Speaker 5: this is a grinding war with no real I mean
Speaker 5: the idea is what we're going to do this until
Speaker 5: we eliminate hamas well, So you're going to just kill everybody?
Speaker 1: Like what what does that even? Two points?
Speaker 7: There're two things.
Speaker 2: Right, Israel was attacked on October seventh, the worst single
Speaker 2: day massacre in its history, and it has the right
Speaker 2: to defend itself. But right the issue is you stay
Speaker 2: within the guidelines of international law. So now you heard,
Speaker 2: you know, America is getting very frustrated and.
Speaker 5: Concerned if Christian if true.
Speaker 1: You know, you know we aren't concerned, do you know?
Speaker 2: It reminded me of something that happened at the State
Speaker 2: Department during the Rwanda genocide. When a journalist asked the
Speaker 2: State Department a spokesperson in nineteen ninety four, thirty years
Speaker 2: ago this week, how the woman said, there have been
Speaker 2: acts of genocide committed in Rwanda. And the reporter said, well,
Speaker 2: how many acts of genocide does it take for you
Speaker 2: to call it a genocide? And she said, I'm not
Speaker 2: able to respond to that position you're taking.
Speaker 1: So, you know, genocide ologist, we have we have.
Speaker 7: An issue with calling what's happening.
Speaker 5: Certainly back then, we have no issue roundly condemning or
Speaker 5: being very clear with our moral issues and the other
Speaker 5: side of it. This isn't about the ability to defend yourself.
Speaker 5: It's not even about the moral issue. It's about efficacy.
Speaker 5: It's about, you know, after nine eleven, the vindictiveness in me,
Speaker 5: the bloodlet like it certainly rose up, but very clearly
Speaker 5: our response was flawed in its efficacy.
Speaker 1: We made a mistake.
Speaker 2: And you know that President Biden said that to Prime
Speaker 2: Minisation and yeah, who when you went there, So did
Speaker 2: Lloyd Austin, so did many President mistake he was in a.
Speaker 5: Position to say that to America after nine eleven, didn't
Speaker 5: say that that's not the position that he took. Then
Speaker 5: then the position was, yeah, let's go into a Rah,
Speaker 5: let's go in Afghanistan. You know, it's easy in that
Speaker 5: in that retrospect, which is why it feels as though
Speaker 5: the world order.
Speaker 1: Has failed in this moment.
Speaker 5: And I'm surprised at and maybe this isn't really the
Speaker 5: case and I'm misrepresenting this, but the passive nature of
Speaker 5: the Arab states.
Speaker 2: Well, look, that is a big issue because they have
Speaker 2: now all rushed to make peace and certain accords with Israel.
Speaker 2: The UAE, Morocco, Saudi Arabia was apparently on the verge
Speaker 2: of doing it, still is.
Speaker 7: Working on it.
Speaker 2: And I actually have spoken to a lot of Arab
Speaker 2: leaders and I've said to them, look for all these years,
Speaker 2: since nineteen forty eight, when the Palestinians left the Nachbar,
Speaker 2: when they were forced out, when they were chased out,
Speaker 2: when they voluntarily left, all that what happened, And that's
Speaker 2: what that's what Vagaza is right, the refugees from nineteen forty.
Speaker 7: Eight, When are you.
Speaker 2: Going to stand up also and take ownership of this problem?
Speaker 2: Because the Arab states have had Palestinian refugees for you
Speaker 2: know pretty much seventy five odd years.
Speaker 5: And it's never given them there, I mean, has probably
Speaker 5: a larger citizenship.
Speaker 7: No, none of them have right because look.
Speaker 5: They're all terrified of Hamasen has bolted. The dirty little
Speaker 5: secret over there is the Islamists that they helped foster
Speaker 5: through Major and all those other actions. They're scared shiitless of.
Speaker 2: They just are, Yeah, and they would like to see
Speaker 2: Hamas get a bloody nose, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 7: But people the leadest thing want.
Speaker 1: They don't want to count people for it.
Speaker 2: People think another thing, and the people are essentially very
Speaker 2: upset the people in that part of the word and
Speaker 2: tell people.
Speaker 7: Over the world are very very upset.
Speaker 5: Long tell me why this is naivel wrong that the
Speaker 5: Arab states form a DMZ to immediately de escalate this problem.
Speaker 5: How do they not step in and form some type
Speaker 5: of guarantee the security of Israel in that moment, guarantee
Speaker 5: the security of the palesting is and stop this carnage.
Speaker 7: So there've been certain plans floated.
Speaker 2: At the moment, the Israeli government wants none of it.
Speaker 2: It doesn't want the UN, it doesn't want the Arab
Speaker 2: countries The only thing that the Prime inter.
Speaker 1: Does not see. It's isolation in the world.
Speaker 2: That is what its allies are trying to tell it
Speaker 2: that you had the moral high ground and you are
Speaker 2: very close, if not having lost it. And this is
Speaker 2: a problem for Israel because the truth is, as all
Speaker 2: these people on my show tell me, all the you know,
Speaker 2: the experts and the analysts and the leaders, that if
Speaker 2: this is actually isn't solved politically, then unfortunately it will
Speaker 2: keep happening, this vicious cycle.
Speaker 1: In the future of this.
Speaker 5: As you look at when you talked about leadership, then
Speaker 5: who is the leader that emerges.
Speaker 1: It's clearly not net Yahoo.
Speaker 2: Well, I think the Israeli situation is really interesting because
Speaker 2: you have two contrasting facts. The overwhelming majority of the
Speaker 2: country supports the war.
Speaker 7: They also want.
Speaker 2: Their first priority to be their families to come back.
Speaker 2: They need a ceasefire and a deal to bring their
Speaker 2: families back. But the overwhelming majority of the Israelis do
Speaker 2: not support Benjaminette and Yahoo. So what the Americans are
Speaker 2: saying now and you sort of Senator Schumer and others
Speaker 2: that there has to be another election at some point,
Speaker 2: God forbid, we would be you know, meddling in another country,
Speaker 2: But nonetheless there has to be electionist by the way.
Speaker 1: That's against the rules based world order. This thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then and then potentially hopefully open up another
Speaker 2: real possibility of a negotiated solution that's backed by the
Speaker 2: Arab States, as you mentioned, by the United States, by Europe,
Speaker 2: by all the vestied.
Speaker 5: But why is this not the top priority of Why
Speaker 5: is this not the only session that's going on at
Speaker 5: the UN? Why is everybody not stopping whatever the hell
Speaker 5: they're doing and hammering this.
Speaker 2: Out, Because as you know, the Security Council, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of people with vetos and things like that. It
Speaker 2: hasn't got to that point yet. And the big, big
Speaker 2: issue right now is famine stalking Gaza and the death
Speaker 2: toll that's mounting and mounting and mounting. And you know,
Speaker 2: even Jose Andres, the chef who you know so well,
Speaker 2: after the killing of seven of his you know, workers,
Speaker 2: he said, I spoke to President Biden and I said,
Speaker 2: how can you also send weapons and also call for
Speaker 2: respecting life and the end of this famine.
Speaker 7: So there's so much that's.
Speaker 5: And how can we only respond to this tragedy when
Speaker 5: it's seven Western aid workers that are killed.
Speaker 1: When you know, when I heard the figure of.
Speaker 5: Children over ten thousand unprecedent, I've never heard anything like
Speaker 5: that pictures, and of.
Speaker 1: Course they're haunting and I'm listen.
Speaker 5: For Jews, this is heartbreaking because you know, I don't
Speaker 5: necessarily have that much of a connection there, but there's
Speaker 5: this idea that like they're sticking it out for all
Speaker 5: of us because we're not safe anywhere in the world, which,
Speaker 5: by the way, if that's the issue, that's kind of
Speaker 5: a larger problem to begin with.
Speaker 2: I think for israelis, for Jews, for Palestinians, right crucial
Speaker 2: is that there has to be real leaders who come
Speaker 2: once and for all and create a piece. And the
Speaker 2: most important thing also is to be able to converse
Speaker 2: and discuss. There is nuance and diversity within communities that
Speaker 2: have not allowed.
Speaker 5: But why is that not allowed? On today's show, do
Speaker 5: you have any idea?
Speaker 1: I mean, what's going to happen? But you always you're
Speaker 1: always in the thicket.
Speaker 2: But I have all these diverse opinions on my program.
Speaker 7: That's what I try to do.
Speaker 2: I try to bring Israelis, Arabs, Jews, Muslims, all the
Speaker 2: interested parties in this particular conflict onto my program to
Speaker 2: talk people who've lost family members, whether it's in Israeli
Speaker 2: or a Palestinian.
Speaker 7: You know, people who've.
Speaker 2: Waged peace, who've tried to wage peace, whether it's an
Speaker 2: Israeli mother or a Palestinian mother.
Speaker 7: I have them on my program.
Speaker 2: Young people who still believe in the peace process, even
Speaker 2: though it's evaporating before their eyes.
Speaker 7: They come onto the program. So there is hope. They
Speaker 7: have to be empowered, these people.
Speaker 5: And where's the discussion so much more robust in that
Speaker 5: part of the world. You know, it's always you can't
Speaker 5: talk about it in America, but you know where they
Speaker 5: talk about it, Israel.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes they do. But to be fair, to be fair,
Speaker 7: they do.
Speaker 2: There's very robust arguments going on. But even they on
Speaker 2: their television are not seeing the full horror of the
