Good morning, everybody, 9 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 2: Happy Monday. We have an amazing show for everybody today. 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: What do we have, Crystal, Indeed, we do. 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 3: It's a big day, guys. 12 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: We have a lot of exclusive polling that we commissioned 13 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: here at Breaking Points that's going to look at Americans' 14 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: views of Israel and Palestine. And we have a special 15 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: lens of how people view this conflict depending on where 16 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: they get their news from. Yes, which is very interesting 17 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: and obviously very relevant given the conversation about TikTok, etc. 18 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 3: So we're going to break those down. 19 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: We also have the continued crackdown on campus protesters and 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: a few hoaxes that have emerged. 21 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 3: Amidst all of that. 22 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: You've also got a bipartisan effort to further censor speech 23 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: on campus. 24 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 3: So that's great. We'll get into all of that. 25 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: Also, incredibly consequential oral hearings at oral arguments at the 26 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: Supreme Court last week taking a look at whether Trump 27 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: should be immune for any official acts during his presidency, 28 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: and big question marks about what this is going to 29 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: mean for Jacksmith's January sixth case in particular against Trump, 30 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: so we'll break that down for you. We also have 31 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: Trump now taking aim at RFK Junior after some polls 32 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: which we covered here revealed that perhaps RFK Junior is 33 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: taking more votes away from Trump, so he seems like 34 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: he's more a little bit more nervous now. And RFK 35 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: Junior also was on with Bill mar we'll show you 36 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: a little bit of that. 37 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 3: It appears that the International Criminal. 38 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: Court is set to issue arrest warrants against bb net 39 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: Yahoo and some of his compatriots, the US getting involved there, 40 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: and we also have some exclusive poll numbers that we 41 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: can bring you there as well about how Americans feel 42 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: about bb net Nyaho and whether or not they think 43 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: that he is a war criminal. And lastly, Christina, I'm 44 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: apparently murdered a puppy, So got to break that down 45 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: for you as well. 46 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: She got at least that's literally the case. 47 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: She wrote about it in her book Created I would 48 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: say a bipartisan reaction of I would hope so utter revulsion. 49 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: And you know, she was a top contender for Trump 50 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: VP picks, so it seems important. 51 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: We'll get into that. And I'm taking a. 52 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: Look at the horrific spectacle of the White House Correspondence 53 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: dinner over the weekend and the protests that they were 54 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: met with. 55 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm very glad that you're doing that. Can't it's 56 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: a yearly tradition. We've got to go after the White 57 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: House Corresponds dinner. 58 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 3: Boy, did they ever deserve it this time? 59 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. 60 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: Before we get to that, thank you to everybody who 61 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: supports the show, you guys to enable us to be 62 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: able to do this exclusive polling. Polling is very expensive, 63 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 2: and this is just part of exactly the type of 64 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 2: things that we want to do. So we have a promographic. 65 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: We can go and put that up there on the screen, 66 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: and you can sign up at breakingpoints dot com to 67 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 2: support this, and just so everybody knows, like one of 68 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: the reasons we're very proud of this poll is we 69 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 2: tried to go after the things that a lot of 70 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: mainstream media was either not covering or was not going 71 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: after itself specifically with media coverage because it would indictment 72 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: of them specifically. So I think that we've partnered with 73 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: JLP here to do a really good job is to 74 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: how people view things based upon their news consumption, and 75 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: that in and of itself is a major indictment. I 76 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: think of a lot of things that the show stands again, 77 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 2: so oh yeah, and support us. We would appreciate it. 78 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: Cable News as we go through these is a bit 79 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: of an outlier. It's great in terms of how they 80 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: view the conflict in almost every instance. 81 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 3: So let's start with this. 82 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: Put a two up on the screen to give you 83 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: the overview here. One of the questions we asked so 84 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: that we could have this demographic breakdown as we were 85 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: looking at all of the questions we ask with regards 86 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: to Israel and Palestine, is hey, where do you get 87 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: most of your news? Here we have that information broken 88 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: down by age group. So something that's really going to 89 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: jump on at you here is take a look at 90 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty nine, fifty nine percent of young people 91 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: say they're getting their news from TikTok, Instagram x or 92 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: other social media fifty nine percent. The next closest category 93 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: is podcasts in YouTube, but at seventeen percent, so huge 94 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: drop off. Only fifteen percent say cable news, four percent 95 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: say print media, and five percent say none of the above. 96 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: Then take a look at sixty five plus totally different 97 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: dynamic fifty nine percent there say they're getting their news 98 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: from cable news, only five percent from social media, only 99 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: five percent from podcasts, nine percent from print media. And 100 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: you can see the other age demographics. I mean, fifty 101 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: to sixty four looks very similar to the sixty five 102 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: plus fifty four percent, so a majority getting their news 103 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: from cable news. To thirty to forty nine year old 104 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: demographic is a little more mixed. You still have a 105 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: plurality at thirty seven percent getting their news or saying 106 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: they're getting their news. 107 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 3: From cable news. 108 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: Next highest is social media, then podcasts and YouTube, then 109 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: print media. I just want to reflect and say more 110 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: of you all should be getting your news from podcasts 111 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: and YouTube, apparently the lowest category for in all instances, 112 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: but I mean, are just I think it's worth commenting 113 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: on this piece specifically, which shows you if you compare 114 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: the news habits of eighteen to twenty nine year olds 115 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: versus those fifty plus, it's a whole different world, whole 116 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: different landscape in terms of the type of information that 117 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: they're taking in here. 118 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I try to say this, and our boomers 119 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: always get mad, but you guys are living in a 120 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: different world. Like listen it. I think it's great the 121 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: number of boomers who watched the show Premium members. We 122 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: love you, we respect you, but even you need to 123 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: acknowledge it, even the very distinct minority of your age group. 124 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: And one of the things that this country is really 125 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: determined by is the fact that the median voter is 126 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 2: fifty five years old and is not college educated. And 127 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: the vast majority of those people fifty five, sixty five, 128 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 2: seventy five plus who are very invested in the political system, 129 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: they live in a completely different reality whenever it comes 130 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: to money, whenever it comes to media. It's never been 131 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: more evident, and I think in modern American history than 132 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 2: it is today. Everyone's like always kids these days. But 133 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 2: the mono culture moment, and specifically monocultures of information from 134 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: newspapers and that cable era and all of that basically 135 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: from nineteen ninety two prior was very very different, where 136 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 2: everyone was consuming the same media, but they had very 137 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: different opinions about how they were consuming that. Here we 138 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 2: are actually living in different realities, and that determination of 139 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: reality is downstream of all of our politics. It's how 140 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,679 Speaker 2: you see polls where in the majority of Republican voters 141 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 2: will be against Ukraine AID, but very specifically sixty five plus, 142 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: it's like fifty to fifty. So that's how you get 143 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: eighty five percent of Republicans who then go in and 144 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: support it same whenever it comes. Democrats even have fifty 145 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: percent of Democrats who can be against something. But if 146 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: you go to the sixty five plus to where the 147 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: people most engage with the political system and the people 148 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: most who are actually in Congress itself, that's how you 149 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: get what is it, ninety percent of Democrats who end 150 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: up voting for Israel AIDS. So this, to me is 151 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 2: the most important graph that we may have ever produced, 152 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: because that is America as a picture. 153 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, and a couple things to note about that. So, 154 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: first of all, as much as cable news viewership and 155 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: frankly their whole business model is kind of falling apart. 156 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: You can see from these graphics how important it still is, 157 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: how incredibly influential it still is. And this is part 158 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: of why we still continue to cover what happens on 159 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: cable news, because it's very impactful, especially in terms of 160 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: that elite conversation and how our policymakers are making their decisions, 161 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: and also how vastwaths of voters are processing information from 162 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: this conflict. So that's number one. Number two, I just 163 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: want to say that famously, as we covered here, remember 164 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: Nikki Haley had that quote about like the more time 165 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: you spent on TikTok, you become eighteen percent more antisemitic 166 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: or whatever. There's this assumption that the social media platforms 167 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: are making people have a different view of the conflict. Now, 168 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 1: I do think there is kind of a reinforcement cycle. 169 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: But the reason why a more pro Palestinian view of 170 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: the world is wildly more popular, not just on TikTok, 171 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: but on Twitter, on effectively any social media platform you 172 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: could look at that has a broad audience is because 173 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: young people started from a different place in this conflict, 174 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: and so then social media company is being in the 175 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: business of making money, guess what they're going to surface 176 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: for you, and there are algorithms content that they think 177 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: matches things you've already expressed interest in. So I think 178 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: the sort of causation is the exact opposite of the 179 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: way that people in Washington are thinking about it. And 180 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: obviously this ties into the whole reason why TikTok is 181 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: actually in danger of being I mean, the legislation was passed, 182 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: is very possible to be banned, is because they see, Okay, 183 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: young people are on TikTok. Young people have a different 184 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: view of this conflict. We're blaming TikTok. But as I said, 185 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: I think the causation goes in the exact opposite direction. 186 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: All right, So bearing those numbers in mind, let's put 187 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: the next question up on the screen here, which gives 188 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: you a kind of overall picture of which group people 189 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: are more sympathetic towards. The question here, which do you 190 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: feel more sympathy with Israel or the Palestinians. So keep 191 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: this up so I can explain this and people can 192 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: kind of process this information. So the yellow bars here 193 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: are the sentiment of social media news consumers. The blue 194 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: bars right next to that are podcasts in YouTube. Then 195 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: the green bars are cable news, and the red bars 196 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: are print media. So starting with the yellow bar, you 197 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: can see that a very clear plurality thirty three percent 198 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: leans towards having more sympathy with Palestinians versus Israeli. It's 199 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: only twenty percent say Israeli, so thirty three versus twenty percent. 200 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: When you go to podcasts and YouTube, you can see 201 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: that's the blue bar. Similar dynamic plurality twenty six percent 202 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: says Palestinians versus twenty one percent says israel If you 203 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: go to cable news, that dynamic totally flips. And similarly 204 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: with print media, so for cable news is eighteen percent 205 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: only lean towards Palestinians, and the plurality thirty four percent 206 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: are more sympathetic with Israelis. With print media, it's twenty 207 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: percent Palestinians and forty two percent Israelis. And obviously you 208 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: can see significant chunks in each group saying neither one 209 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: or don't know. So it shows you, Sager the way, 210 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: that there is a different sort of like innate sympathy, 211 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: different different pluralities going in opposite directions here depending on 212 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: what news media they're consuming. 213 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and again I would just point to 214 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: the fact that the podcast YouTube number is incredibly significant. 215 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: Something also that people it's funny if we think back 216 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: to some of the twenty nineteen discourse, what was it? 217 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: All podcasts are right wing? RSS is out of control? Really, 218 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: what comes becomes very clear to me is that any 219 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: media which is non institutionalized and separate from big moneyed 220 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: interests and or the corporate machine is by definition just 221 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 2: going to be more attract an audience and be able 222 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: to present information which is not as sanitized and thus 223 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 2: in less sanitized information. You're going to have a more 224 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: honest view of the conflict. And I just have to 225 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: underscore the reality question once again, what reality do you 226 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: live in? Even people who are probably pro Israel and 227 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: who are online as in on social media, listen to 228 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 2: a podcast, they're even going to be more aware, let's say, 229 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 2: of some of the arguments Crystal that you or I 230 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: would raise about Israeli military conduct, Whereas if you are 231 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: on cable you don't even understand that those exist. Unless 232 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 2: Fared Zakaria on Saturday, to his audience of three hundred 233 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 2: and fifty thousand people, happens to do a seven minute 234 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 2: segment about it. Right like just think about the disconsonants, 235 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 2: you know, that has to exist there in that reality. 236 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 3: That's exactly right. 237 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: And so I mean that's why it's sort of newsworthy 238 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: when they do a segment that's like the one we 239 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: covered here. 240 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: Oh my god, they actually. 241 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: Talked about the fact that the IDF is desecrating cemeteries, 242 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: because it's so rare that that type of information about 243 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: what is going on in this conflict actually breaks through. 244 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: And of course we've covered here the analyzes from the 245 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: Intercept and elsewhere about the dramatically war sanitized language that 246 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: is used. We had that leaked memo from the New 247 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: York Times saying you shouldn't even say the word Palestine, 248 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: you shouldn't say the word occupied territories, you shouldn't say 249 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: the word refugee camps. So that's the bubble and the 250 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: filter that older Americans in particular are learning about this 251 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: conflict through. And so you can see, and this is 252 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: going to be very consistent theme as we go through 253 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: these numbers, the way that they're coming to very different 254 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: conclusions from people who are getting their information who are 255 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: seeing the IDEF tiktoking their war crimes, for example, who 256 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: are seeing all of those horrors on a daily basis, 257 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: which is much more readily available on social media, podcast YouTube. 258 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: All right, let's put this next piece up on the screen, 259 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: very relevant to the college campus conversation question. Here is 260 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: has anti Semitism increased? Okay, you've got a couple, you've 261 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: got a number of options increased a lot, a little decreased, 262 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: a little decreased, a lot, stayed the same, and don't know. 263 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: So let's start at the top and focus in on 264 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: this line that says, Okay, I believe anti semitism has 265 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: increased a lot. You can see a significant divergence between 266 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: the yellow and blue bars at eighteen percent. Those are 267 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: your social media and podcast news consumers and the cable 268 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: news and print media audience. They say thirty one and 269 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: thirty five percent that it has. 270 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 3: Increased a lot. 271 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: If you look down at the uh stayed the same, 272 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: you have a much different view. You've got actually a 273 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: similar number across the board that say it's more or 274 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: less stayed the same. So the big divergence there is 275 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: in terms of the numbers at the top. So you 276 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: see significant numbers even of you know, podcasts and social 277 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: media consumers who say increased a little, or increased a lot, 278 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: but that increased a lot line stands out as a 279 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, different view. And obviously the emphasis 280 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: has been much greater on cable news and print media. 281 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: And I mean they've just gone all in on smearing 282 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: anyone who's protesting for a ceasefire as an anti Semite. 283 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: So if that's the view of the world you're taking, 284 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: if you're watching Morning Joe with Jonathan green Blatt from 285 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: the ADL saying actually, these college campus protesters are all 286 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: Iranian proxies for Hamas, then you can see how you 287 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: end up with a little bit of a different emphasis 288 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: on anti Semitism than perhaps on other platforms. 289 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: Absolutely, we see it too in the next one. I 290 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: actually think this might even be most impactful. We can 291 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 2: put it please up there on the screen. The question 292 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 2: here is has these really Israeli military gone Let's say 293 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: for too far. You're only going to have thirty two 294 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 2: percent of cable news viewers who say that it has. 295 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: You're going to have thirty three percent of podcast viewers. 296 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: You're going to have forty five percent or sorry, forty 297 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 2: five percent of podcasts, and then also forty one percent 298 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: of TikTok and or Instagram users, Whereas if you go 299 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: to the about right number or the not far enough number, 300 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: you're going to see that it's much larger for print 301 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 2: media and for cable news as opposed to the podcast 302 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 2: and the TikTok. 303 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: Now Cable News in particular, there Cable News seventeen like 304 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: we need it, it's not far enough. 305 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: They they need to increase. And then even about the 306 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: about right figure, if you look at print media and 307 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: cable news, it's just disproportionately so much bigger compared to 308 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: the podcast and the TikTok users. And again I just 309 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: want to say, I would I considering the fact that 310 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: if you look at the podcasts the top news podcast 311 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: in the country of which we are on there it's 312 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: not just us. It's like Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Candae Owans, 313 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: Megan Kelly. It's not like there isn't a huge pro 314 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: Israel segment of the population that is not listening to 315 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 2: news podcasts. It is the fact that those podcasts, again, 316 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 2: if you are interacting with Ben Shapiro, you're more likely 317 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: from what I can see too in our data, to 318 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: also watch maybe a breaking point segment. So even if 319 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 2: you are pro Israel, and I've seen this, actually the 320 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: pro Israel side that has to engage with some of 321 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 2: the things that we will bring up here on the show. 322 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 2: They'll be like, yeah, yeah, but it's okay because I 323 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: support it, or it's okay because war is terrible. It's 324 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 2: not even mired necessarily in like a moralistic language. It's 325 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: much more I guess, real politique in terms of their 326 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 2: historical justification, which I mean, I don't no issue with that, 327 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: in terms of at least be honest about who you are. 328 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: Just don't throw your morality kind of in my face. 329 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: My only point is that even amongst you know, podcast 330 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: users who let's be around us have been smeared as 331 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: right wingers Joe Rogan and all that, even they are 332 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 2: much more reticent, you know, to kind of describe Israel's 333 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 2: actions has not gone far enough. Even if to some 334 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: of people like Shapiro, who's one of the largest news 335 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 2: podcasts in the entire country, may say that they are. 336 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, let that actually backup on the screen. Because there's 337 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: another thing that I noticed about this, which is that 338 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: even though the numbers are higher for the podcast, YouTube, 339 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: social media people, you have a plurality of every group 340 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: that says. 341 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 3: They've gone too far. 342 00:16:59,200 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, good points. 343 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: So even among the cable news watchers you know, who 344 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: are listening to Jonathan Greenblatt and whoever else, you still 345 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: have a third thirty three percent saying too far versus 346 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: the next highest number twenty four percent. 347 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: About right. 348 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 3: So even in. 349 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: These very skewed news ecosystems, you still have a plurality 350 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: that is saying this is too much. And listen, one 351 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: thing I was thinking about what you're talking about, like 352 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: the podcasts that are out there. You can look at 353 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: the way liberals on MSNBC respond to all of these 354 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: people are responding to a lot of audience and market incentives. Right, 355 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: Liberals on MSNBC, they've got the older audience. They are 356 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: much more sort of hawkish, They're much more on the 357 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: Biden line. 358 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 3: You think about the pod Save Bros. 359 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: Which is like the biggest liberal podcast out there as 360 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: far as I know, they've been critical. 361 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: That's a good point. 362 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: So there's been there's you know, there is a different 363 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: audience they're responding to. There's a different age demographic, and frankly, 364 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: there's more room for that kind of critique on that platform. 365 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: Versus on MSNBC. Shout out to Aiman Yaldean and Ali 366 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: Velsheen others who have been created some space on MSNBC 367 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: to be critical, but overwhelmingly, if you're watching there, you're 368 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: getting the Joe Biden party line. Let's go to the 369 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: next graphic, which is highly relevant to our recent policy debate. 370 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: So the question here is overall, do you think the 371 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: Biden administration is sending too much, too little, or about 372 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: the right amount of aid to Israel? And once again 373 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: you've got similar dynamic where if you are social media 374 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: podcast you say, by larger numbers it's too much. Okay, 375 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: you've got a plurality thirty five percent who says too 376 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,959 Speaker 1: much of social media users, forty seven percent very strong 377 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: almost majority saying too much among podcasts and YouTube users. 378 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: And then you've got smaller numbers twenty eight and twenty 379 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: nine percent for cable news and print media respectively. About 380 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: right is the plurality choice for the more traditional media 381 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: consumers and too little the highest number here. Once again, 382 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: print media and cable news is a little bit of 383 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: an outlier. They are the it's still not a plurality 384 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: by the way, that says too little, but nineteen percent 385 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: as opposed to thirteen and eleven percent for the podcast 386 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: and TikTok Instagram, social media sort of non establishment platform consumers. 387 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: So you know, you can see a pretty sizable split 388 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: in the way these groups are viewing the conflict, and again, 389 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's a complicated mix of correlation is not causation. 390 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: You've got very different as we showed you before, age 391 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: demographics consuming news on these various platforms. Different age demographics 392 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: were already coming at this conflict from a very different perspective, 393 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: and then they're basically having a lot of their views 394 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,719 Speaker 1: sort of confirmed on their platforms of choice, and that 395 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: leads to an increasing split in the way that these 396 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: age demographics and news consumers are viewing the compr. 397 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an important point, right, No way to know 398 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: for sure whether it's a causation of the media, whether 399 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: it's a self selection bias, if anything. On podcasts, you're 400 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: probably more prone to self selection bias, just because you 401 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 2: can genuinely seek out something that is inherently just almost 402 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: entirely confirming what you want. But there's still a lot 403 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 2: of ideological you know, opinion and disagreement. If you listen 404 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 2: to multiple shows, or if you listen to our show, 405 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: and so I think that it opens you up just 406 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 2: intellectually in a different way. And again, you know, even too, 407 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: for all of the talk of social media creates reality bubbles, 408 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 2: I think that the biggest reality bubble that exists is 409 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: the cable news environment has shown very very clearly. And 410 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: I see this all the time in my real life. 411 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 2: I'm sure everybody does too. If you have older relatives 412 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: or older Americans that you speak with and they ask you, 413 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 2: usually they ask you about the dumbest, most likely inconsequential 414 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 2: political event and be like did you see Trump said 415 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 2: a bloodbath or something? You're like, dude, that was debunked 416 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 2: like three months ago. Yeah, Like what are you talking about? 417 00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? 418 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 2: And I'm like, well I thought that be seen. You 419 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 2: know at a certain point too, like you really want 420 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: to argue if you're in laws, grandparents, like now you're. 421 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 5: Not doing that. 422 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. I will note though, in terms of that, you know, 423 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: how much age should we be sending to Israel? There 424 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: was no group of news consumers in which the majority 425 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: or even plurality was like, we're sending too little. So, 426 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: just in terms of the disconnect from or policymakers with 427 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: even the most you know, sort of consent manufactured group 428 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: of people, which is the people watching cable news. Even 429 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: with them, they're not like we're sending too little. They 430 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: their plurality says it's about right. So maybe ease off 431 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: the gas pedal there, DC lawmakers. Let's get to the 432 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 1: very latest that is happening in terms of college campuses. 433 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: We can put this up on the screen. This is 434 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: from Ohio State University, which saw some of the most 435 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: dramatic clashes with well, I shouldn't say clashes arrest peaceful protesters. 436 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: They're warn't even any allocations of violence to my knowledge, 437 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: at any of these universities we have up on the screen. 438 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: We've got Arizona State, We've got Indiana, Washington University, Northeastern 439 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: University just says Austin. I guess that's ut Austin again, 440 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: Ohio State University. So you can see the arrests escalated 441 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: at Arizona State. If you pay attention to an upper 442 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: left box there, that's actually frat boys who were apparently 443 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: like collaborating with the cops to destroy tents, which is 444 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: oursorry ASU. One of the most ASU things I've ever 445 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: heard in my life. But you know, some of these 446 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: arrasts were quite violent. There were also reports at Ohio 447 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: States Hour. Did you see this snipers? I did see 448 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 1: that being placed on top of the buildings. 449 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 2: For no consequence either, by the way, which was hilarious 450 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: because it turned out that one of the students was 451 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 2: actually able to sneak up on said police sniper, right, 452 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 2: which somebody pointed out, like, dude, that's one of the 453 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: most basic tenets of being a sniper is not allowing 454 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 2: somebody to snap on the higher so anyway, militarily. 455 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, highly trained, What are we doing here? 456 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: You know, for what purpose is that? Crowd control is 457 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 2: one different thing. Enforcing local ordinance or whatever about people 458 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 2: who are unlawfully gathered again, but putting people up on 459 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: a rooftop. I have only ever seen that in one 460 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 2: instances because I live here in Washington, DC and whenever 461 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 2: it's the President is out and about. I've never seen 462 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: it anywhere else in the entire United States. So did 463 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 2: I saw that clip? And I was like, it just 464 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: clownish on several levels, because A it's ridiculous, like in 465 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 2: terms of short force, and B it didn't even work. Dude, Yeah, 466 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 2: you got snuck up on. 467 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's complete insanity, and I put a fourteen 468 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: actually up on the screen. 469 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 3: Guys. 470 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: So apparently two hundred at least protesters were arrested over 471 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: the weekend, in particular Northeastern University, Arizona State, Indiana University, 472 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: and Washington University in Saint Louis. They say there have 473 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: been more than eight hundred arrests of protesters on US 474 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: campuses since April eighteenth, That was when Columbia University initially 475 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: had that crackdown. This map we can see up on 476 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: the screen. This show you the way these protests are spreading. 477 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: In fact, I was kind of I was very pleasantly 478 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: surprised to see that University of Mary Washington, which is 479 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: very close to where I live in Fredericksburg, Virginia, is 480 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: not a large school and it's not like it's a 481 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: liberal arts college, but it's not like an elite Columbia 482 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: type university. Apparently they had protests and there were arrests 483 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 1: that took place. You also had Virginia techs or I'm 484 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: showing my Virginia bias, but you could see these protests 485 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: are literally cross the country, and so that crackdown and 486 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: the focus on the Columbia protesters, if it was meant 487 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: to snuff out the flame and scare students out of 488 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: protesting what they see as a genocide being committed with 489 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: our tax dollars in the Gaza strip, it has had 490 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: the polar opposite reaction. And actually I saw something that 491 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: was really quite beautiful, which is a number of Palestinians 492 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: in Gaza staging a demonstration writing on their refugee displacement 493 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: tense messages of solidarity and appreciation for the Columbia Diversity 494 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: students in particular for standing up for them, which was 495 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: kind of incredible and I'm sure very heartening for these 496 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: students who are, you know, trying their best to figure 497 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: out how to make a difference in the world. Let's 498 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 1: go ahead and go back to A eight, which shows 499 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: you some of the aggressive tactics that are being used here. 500 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: You can see this the elder woman Jill Stein, the 501 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: white hair there being aggressive, like I would say, assaulted 502 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: with a police bike there. She was arrested. Okay, you 503 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: saw the interaction. She was arrested and charged with assault 504 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: of a police officer. Again, seventy three year old. Whatever 505 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: you think of her, she is a presidential candidate, and 506 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: the Green Party is you know, it's a significant organization, 507 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: they're likely to have ballid access, and she's being treated 508 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: in this manner, Soger, It's completely outrageous. At the same time, 509 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: speaking of outrageous, we have new bipartisan effort that was 510 00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: just launched in the House and can put this up 511 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: on this pro Israel House Democrat and Republican plan to 512 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: introduce a legislation creating federally sanctioned anti semitism monitors for 513 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: select college campuses. This is who else, Ritchie Torres and 514 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: Republican also from New York, Mike Lawler. The bill would 515 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: allow the Department of Education to send a third party 516 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: anti semitism monitor to any college that receives federal funding, 517 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: and to revoke that funding for colleges that don't comply. 518 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: The monitor, which would be paid for by the school, 519 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: would be charged with releasing a public quarterly report evaluating 520 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: the progress that a college or university has made toward 521 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: combating anti semitism. Now, obviously I abhor anti semitism and 522 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: any type of racism, but we also know the way 523 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: that these people have consistently defined anti semitism as anything 524 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: that basically they don't like when it comes to criticism 525 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: of Israel. It's wrong think when it comes to Israel. 526 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: So the idea of codifying this at a federal level. 527 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 3: I mean, saga. 528 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: This is one of the most aggressive attempts I've seen 529 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: to have an overt attack on the First Amendment officially 530 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: sanctioned on college campuses. 531 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 3: It's pretty wild. 532 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 2: No, this is pretty crazy because what it does is 533 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 2: it actually institutes the Department of Education and says says 534 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,959 Speaker 2: to them that they have to create quote third party 535 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 2: anti semitism monitors paid for by the US government, that 536 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 2: will then go and analyze each college that receives federal 537 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 2: funding and then revoking funding for colleges that don't apply. 538 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 2: That monitor again, would actually be charged with quote releasing 539 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 2: a public quarterly report evaluating progress that a college or 540 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: university has made towards combating anti semitism. And what it 541 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 2: would do is redefine anti semitism in the same way 542 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 2: that previous resolutions of Congress have passed. Now, let's be 543 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 2: very clear about that, because that actually directly conflates as 544 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 2: previous governmental definitions of anti semitism exist, criticism of the 545 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 2: state of Israel with anti Semitism itself. And that is 546 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 2: why I almost just refuse to fall for the canard 547 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 2: at this point of like I have poor anti systemisms, 548 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 2: like yeah, of course, but at a certain point, like 549 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna play these people's games anymore, because 550 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 2: if you're going to use that definition, then I'm not playing. 551 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: It's like, at that point, I'm just gonna say I 552 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: believe very strongly in the First Amendment. What I would 553 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 2: like to see is a First Amendment monitor which actually 554 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 2: goes to each campus and revokes federal funding from anyone 555 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 2: which is directly in violation of a Supreme Court definition 556 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 2: for federal funding. That seems like a lot more reasonable 557 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 2: to me. But of course they're not doing that. They're 558 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 2: actually moving into more censorious direction. And I would just say, 559 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 2: again to any right wingers, I mean trying to make 560 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 2: this point more recently, if Trump wins again, do you 561 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: know how many college Republicans are going to be called 562 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: anti Semitic or any of these other groups. Do you 563 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: think they're not going to use this against other student 564 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: groups that they don't want they're on campus, And even 565 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 2: if they are anti Semitic, that is legally within the 566 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 2: bounds of the First Amendment, which I stand for. I know, 567 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's a good thing. You know, I 568 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: don't love seeing it march on campus. But I guess 569 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: I've said this before. I've seen straight up like Christian 570 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: nationalists psychos march on my campus when I was in college, 571 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: and nobody really cared much at that time. 572 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: So to that point, ye this, I think this weekend 573 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: or last week in Charleston, West Virginia, there was a 574 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: group of out and out neo Nazis marching down the 575 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: streets of Charleston. 576 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 3: Went to Okay, fine, yeah, fine, the cops didn't get involved. 577 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: They did their disgusting thing, and everyone moved on. And 578 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: you know what, I find them abhorrent and disgusting, and 579 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: I still support their right, yeah, to be there under 580 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: the first event everyone, because that's what the First Amendment is, Okay. 581 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: It's not for the speech that you love and you're 582 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: comfy with and is friendly for the establishment. It's for 583 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,959 Speaker 1: the speech you find offensive. It's for the speech that 584 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: is controversial. It's for the speech that you know, in 585 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: the case of the Palistine protesters, that challenges powers that 586 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: be and the status quo. 587 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: So I love your idea. 588 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: Someone needs to take that at the first Amendment monitors 589 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: on college campuses. That's a great frickin' idea. Some ilhan 590 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: Omar or whoever. I need to get on that because 591 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: that would really make it very difficult for all these 592 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: people who claim to be free speech bros. When it 593 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: was their side of the equation that they felt was 594 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: being censored. Now you're jumping on board with a fit 595 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: using the power of the federal government to quash legitimate 596 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: criticism of US funding and involvement in a foreign conflict, 597 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: Like what are what are we doing? It's it's such 598 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: complete insanity. And I guarantee you if it was if 599 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: it was anything else, you know, if it was certainly 600 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: like the trans bigotry monitor on campus, you would be 601 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: you would be right there and listen to do the 602 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: flip sid I'm sure there are people who would have 603 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: supported the transbigotry monitor who are involved in the protest 604 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: now are supportive of the protests, who have a. 605 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 3: Problem with this. 606 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: How about we just all learned the lesson that we 607 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: protect free speech even when it's things that we specifically 608 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: in our political ideology disagree with. Okay, so that's that 609 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: incredible things were happening at Northeastern University over the weekend. 610 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,479 Speaker 1: The Daily Beast with a rare w here exposing what 611 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: was an incredible hoax basically that unfolded. Put this up 612 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: on the screen, so their headline says it all a 613 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: pro Israel agitator shouts kill the Jews and gets everyone 614 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: else arrested. 615 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 3: Okay, So there were pro. 616 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: Palestine protesters at Northeastern, as at many other college campuses. 617 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 3: They were doing their thing. 618 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: Someone within Israeli flag shows up and tried to incite 619 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: the group and start a chant that said kill the Jews. Okay, 620 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: so this is a counter protester. This isn't on the 621 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: Palestine side, this is on the Israeli side. They say, 622 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: killed the Jews as a provocation. Then Northeastern uses the 623 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: excuse of the pro Israel's killed the Jews provocation to 624 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: have one hundred pace full protesters arrested on Saturday. I'm 625 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: gonna show you just to tell you that this, you know, 626 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: the way it happened is the way that I'm describing. 627 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 3: There was there were reporters. 628 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: There was an NPR reporter there who confirmed it, and 629 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: we also have video of the incident. Now I'm gonna 630 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: play the video. It's a little bit hard to discern, 631 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna describe what happens. 632 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 3: Then well we'll watch it. 633 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: But you see them sort of gathered the you know, 634 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: pro palace time people, and then you hear this individual 635 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: with an Israeli flag say kill the Jews, trying to 636 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: get that chance started, and everyone booze him and then 637 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: moves on to the chance that they actually wanted to do. 638 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to how this unfolded. 639 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 6: Okay, kill the. 640 00:32:44,680 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 7: Jews, anybody, don't anybody, So there you go. 641 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: This individual shows up, tries to cause trouble, gets booed, 642 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: and everybody moves on. But this is used as the 643 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: pretext to arrest everyone. When confronted with this set of facts, 644 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: here was the response from a Northeastern University spokesperson. Put 645 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: this up on the screen. The fact that the phrase 646 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: kill the Jews was shouted on our campus is not 647 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: in dispute. The Boston Globe, a trusted news organization, reported 648 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: it is a fact. There's also substantial video evidence any 649 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: suggestion that repulsive anti Semitic comments are sometimes acceptable, depending 650 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: on the context is reprehensible. That language has no place 651 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: on any university campus. Okay, but you didn't even arrest 652 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: the dude who said killed the Jews. You rested the 653 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: people who booed him, Like I mean, it's just it's 654 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: so preposterous. But this is very emblematic of a lot 655 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: of what is on I'm not saying there aren't any 656 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: bad concidents, and you know, things that you shouldn't say 657 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: or I wouldn't say, or whatever. 658 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 3: But this was huge. 659 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: This was spread everywhere. That's not going to get picked 660 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: up by all kinds of beet. They're chanting kill the 661 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: Jews in college camps. No, some pro Israel person came 662 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 1: in as an agitator and enchanted it and got booed 663 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: because you know what, many of the organizers and demonstrators 664 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: are themselves Jewish, which is always buried and erased by 665 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 1: all of the mainstream media coverage. 666 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I also just want to presuppose this question. 667 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 2: Why should any want to be arrested for saying this? 668 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 8: Is that? 669 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 2: Is that a violet? 670 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 3: Thank you? 671 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 2: I checked again. That is totally within the bounds of 672 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 2: the first you know, people get angry whenever I say 673 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 2: things like this, like, that's clearly an incitement of violence. 674 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 2: It brushes up but against It's like, no, it's not 675 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 2: unless it's actually literally quite targeted to an individual. You 676 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 2: were allowed to say basically whatever you want in this country, 677 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 2: as I think you should. I don't think people should 678 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 2: be arrested for shouting quote unquote kill the Jews on 679 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 2: a college campus, even if they were saying it in 680 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 2: earnest and of the although, of course, and I will 681 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 2: just just please apply it's not my law. I've stole 682 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 2: it for many others. If something seems quote unquote too 683 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 2: good to be true, it usually is. If your pro 684 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 2: israel I saw Ted Cruz is putting this out there, 685 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 2: there's no ambiguity. This is what they're shouting. It's like, 686 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 2: just have a moment of self reflection, dude, because I 687 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 2: think about it too. Every time. It's the other way, 688 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 2: you know, anytime some narrative just seems too convenient for 689 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 2: the right, it's like perfectly on the nose. I'm like, 690 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 2: you know, maybe could be a little bit something, and 691 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 2: without fail, if you wait twenty four hours, it will 692 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,439 Speaker 2: usually fall apart. And everybody who spread it initially looks 693 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 2: like an idiot. You know that's it's almost certainly. And 694 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 2: in these highly charged scenarios, people have every incentive in 695 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 2: the world to make things up, to instigate. Think back 696 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,919 Speaker 2: to the swastika, you know, anecdote that I've re laid here. Yeah, 697 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 2: back to the racism once. You know how many instances 698 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 2: of quote unquote racism on college campuses. The girls they 699 00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 2: got bullshit. 700 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 3: The girl they got stabbed in the eye. 701 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 2: Yes, that we stabbed in the eye. 702 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: I lived literally like brushed up against her with the 703 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: Pealestinian flag and. 704 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 2: These going down all directions. Yeah, I lived through these 705 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 2: here in d C. I remember when I was in Cosrok, 706 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 2: women are being attired for wearing a burkup bullshit. It 707 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 2: was completely made up. Instance. While we were in DC, 708 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 2: complete moral panic. The police were called, hundreds of millions 709 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 2: of dollars were spent, like putting police officers on corners. 710 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 2: She made the entire thing up. I mean, it's like 711 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 2: with every single time, people have every incentive, media attention, 712 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 2: and you know, in this case, to smear others. This 713 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 2: has happened so many times. Agent provocateurs, we know that 714 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 2: they exist. Just just be weary. But I'm just going 715 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: to come back to almost our initial plot, Crystal, our 716 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 2: initial block, which is, if you live on the Internet, 717 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 2: and if you live in the world of just Smollett, 718 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,319 Speaker 2: and you know every instance that I just described, you 719 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 2: should you probably have this more baked in. But if 720 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 2: you live in the cable world, how often do you 721 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 2: hear like the Justy Smalllett thing dever send mec people 722 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 2: even know that that turned out to be BS because 723 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 2: they just stopped covering it, like the moment that it 724 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 2: turned out to be fake. Maybe one or two segments 725 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 2: same thing on the right wing? How many of these 726 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,839 Speaker 2: things that get played? I was just looking Laura Ingram 727 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 2: apparently interviewed this woman that stabbed in the eye lady 728 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 2: three separate times on Fox News. Does Fox have a 729 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 2: segment that mean you should? If you have any integrity, 730 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 2: I would, you know, if we said something that wasn't true, 731 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 2: I'd be like, hey, just everybody knows, you know, it 732 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 2: turned out it was complete BS if it turned out 733 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 2: to be you know, whichever way it goes, whether it's 734 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 2: my narrative or not, I can't believe it. But you 735 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 2: know how many people who watch Fox, They're not going 736 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 2: to know to them stabbed in the eye as cannon 737 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 2: at this point, that's the. 738 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: Issue that's so so true. I mean, it's just listen, guys, 739 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: we live in a big country and there's a number 740 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: of freaks and weirdos out there who are desperate to 741 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,760 Speaker 1: be a victim, desperate to be the center of attention, 742 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: and will go to any links to make that a 743 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: reality for them. Or they're intentional agitators and provocateurs who 744 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: love to stir the pot. Or I mean, we covered 745 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: here on this show incredible in depth reporting on how 746 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: one of the BLM protests in Denver was infiltrated by 747 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: the you know, FBI in formant. It was trying to 748 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: stir them up to like blow up buildings and other 749 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, and embrace more overt violence. So this is 750 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: not It sounds conspiratorial, but these things are real and 751 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:17,240 Speaker 1: documented throughout history, including through very very recent history. So okay, 752 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: So in the category of I think just desperate to 753 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: be a victim, this next scenario, this video is just incredible. 754 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: I knew Zabur was gonna absolutely love this one. So 755 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: this lady, which you know, I'm very loath to use 756 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: the term Karen, but if it has ever applied, It 757 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: certainly applies. Let's just say a woman in this instance, Okay, 758 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: she's walking her dog. It comes upon she's a I 759 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: think she's at Northeastern. Maybe she comes upon the you know, 760 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: the protesters there, and she completely melts down. She calls 761 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: nine to one one. They're just standing there. They're not 762 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: doing anything to her, nothing to her. She's not in 763 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: sec She's saying, Star Golden, I'm in danger, and I'm 764 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: a Jewish American. She's just literally standing there. She could 765 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: leave at any time. But fortunately someone caught this whole 766 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: thing on video. Just watch how this unfolds. 767 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 9: Yes, they're right ahead of me right now, they're I 768 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,879 Speaker 9: need Jennifer, I need help.

No one is surrounding her. 775 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 3: She is free to leave. 776 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 9: Need help, there's one, two, three, four or five, six, 777 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 9: seven eight.

Like we're having 783 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:02,839 Speaker 1: a good time. 784 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 2: Who walks their dog just straight into the middle of 785 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 2: a protest and isn't asking for it? Let's be real, 786 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 2: And she didn't even get anything even when she got there, right, 787 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,320 Speaker 2: But you know, come on, like people need to chill 788 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 2: if you who thinks they're in danger and then walks 789 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 2: in the middle off a protest and then even in 790 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 2: that protest, they're like, lady, you're completely free to leave. 791 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 2: You're the one here causing a problem. This is all 792 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 2: on video. You look like an idiot. And that's just like, 793 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 2: I do not understand. I don't know. There's just such 794 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 2: a deep narcissism that runs in this country where everybody 795 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 2: wants to be the victim and they just they they 796 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,959 Speaker 2: think though in the age of social media, that they're 797 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 2: going to get away with it. It's just astounding. You know, 798 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 2: this the victim hode complex. You need to walk into 799 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 2: there and then call the police. I mean, this is 800 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 2: another thing where we really should have more stringent fines 801 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 2: and penalties for falsely calling nine to one one under 802 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 2: false pretenses or false allegations of assault. Because that is 803 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:57,760 Speaker 2: such bullshit. 804 00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,399 Speaker 3: Emergencies to deal with. 805 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: You're like a great panic attack, trying to incite the 806 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: cops to come and like arrest you. I mean, that's 807 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: clearly the goal, right, That's clearly why she walked there 808 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: in the first place. She was hoping something bad would 809 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 1: happen to her, that she could, you know, call nine 810 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: one one, get the cops to arrest these people who 811 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 1: were doing absolutely nothing wrong, or herself getting you know, 812 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: the who had Laura Ingram interviewed through Laura Ingram Interviews 813 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: about how she was the subject of an anti Semitic 814 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: attack or what I like. That clearly is her goal, 815 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: and so thank god someone caught it on camera because 816 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: this is the sort of thing that it was just 817 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: this woman recounting what happened. 818 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,800 Speaker 2: Reading local news. I walked my dog into a protest. 819 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 2: I called nine on one. I felt unsafe. You're like, 820 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 2: oh my god. 821 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 3: Right. 822 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: The next thing you know, she's writing a calumn for 823 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 1: Barry Weiss's thing about how she got stabbed in eye 824 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 1: or whatever, and Jonathan Green blats on warning Joe talking 825 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,959 Speaker 1: about how this was a hate cry. That's what would 826 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: it could have very easily happened if they hadn't just 827 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: been recording her standing there perfectly safe and all the 828 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: protesters being like, lady, you can leave, Like you're fine, 829 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: go on. Apparently nine to one one also was like 830 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: I think you're good, you can. 831 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 3: We're moving on here. 832 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 2: I usually am a critic of nine one one response times, 833 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 2: but in this particular one, good for them. 834 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 3: Yes, they have real emergencies to deal with people. Come on. 835 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,240 Speaker 2: There was a highly consequential argument before the US Supreme 836 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 2: Court on the question of Donald Trump and his immunity 837 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 2: from prosecution as president of the United States. The reason 838 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 2: this is very consequential is it specifically focuses in on 839 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 2: the Jack Smith January sixth indictment against Trump, as it 840 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 2: relates to whether Donald Trump was acting in an official 841 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 2: act as president or not while he was undergoing a 842 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 2: lot of this January sixth false elector scheme, of which 843 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 2: he is actually being charged with. So we have two 844 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 2: separate questions lines of questions from the conservative justices and 845 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 2: the liberal justices. I will give it away to you 846 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 2: before we even play them. It does appear that the 847 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 2: conservative majority will side with Trump. But getting into some 848 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 2: of the actual line of questioning is important to understand 849 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 2: and tease out kind of what they're getting at for 850 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 2: the legal merits. Here is Justice Alito with a question 851 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 2: on that official proceedings and whethersone could be undidted under 852 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 2: an official act. Here's what it is. 853 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 5: Mister Sauer and others have identified events in the past 854 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 5: where presidents have engaged in conduct that might have been 855 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 5: charged as a federal crime. And you say, well, no, 856 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 5: that's not really true. This is page forty two of 857 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 5: your brief. So what about President Franklin D. Roosevelt's decision 858 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,800 Speaker 5: to in turn Japanese Americans during World War Two? Couldn't 859 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 5: that have been charged under eighteen USC. Two forty one 860 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 5: conspiracy against civil rights? 861 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 10: Today? Yes, given this Court's decision in Trump versus United States, 862 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 10: in which the Trump versus Hawaii excuse me, where the 863 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,439 Speaker 10: Court said Kramatsu is overruled, I mean President Roosevelt made 864 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 10: that decision with the advice of his Attorney general. That's 865 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 10: a layer of that's really true. 866 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 5: I thought Attorney General Biddle thought that there was really 867 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,760 Speaker 5: no threat of sabotage, as did Jaeger Hoover. 868 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 10: So I think that there is a lot of historical controversy, 869 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:22,839 Speaker 10: but it underscores that that occurred during wartime. It implicates 870 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 10: a potential commander in chief concerns concerns about the exigencies 871 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 10: of national defense that might provide and as applied article 872 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 10: to challenge at the time. I'm not suggesting today, but 873 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,880 Speaker 10: the idea that a decision that was made and ultimately 874 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 10: endorsed by this Court, perhaps wrongly in the Kamatsu case, 875 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 10: would support criminal prosecution under two forty one, which requires 876 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 10: under United States versus Linear that the right have been 877 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 10: made specific so that there is notice to the president. 878 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 10: I don't think that would have been satisfied. 879 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 2: So that was an important line of questioning there by 880 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 2: Justice Alito, specifically the official act or whether you're doing 881 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,879 Speaker 2: something an official act leaves you open for prosecution. They're 882 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 2: talking about the infamous internment of Japanese Americans. Now we're 883 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 2: going to flip it and we're going to show you 884 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,760 Speaker 2: here a line of questioning from Justice Soda Mayor around 885 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 2: whether an official act as president could include, let's say, 886 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 2: assassination of your political rival. How and what would that 887 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 2: then be tested under this bounds of absolute immunity, that 888 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 2: the Trump prosecution or the Trump Defense is arguing, let's 889 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:26,920 Speaker 2: take a lesson. 890 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 11: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt 891 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 11: person and he orders the military or orders someone to 892 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 11: assassinate him, is that within his official acts for which 893 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 11: he can get immunity. 894 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,440 Speaker 12: It would depends on the hypothetical, but we can see 895 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 12: that could well be an official he. 896 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 11: Could and why because he's doing it for personal reasons. 897 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 11: He's not doing it at like President Obama is alleged 898 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 11: to have done it to protect the country from a terrorist. 899 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,719 Speaker 11: He's doing it for personal gain. 900 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 2: So that is the interesting kind of crux. And it's 901 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 2: actually a fascinating conversation. 902 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 3: Well awkward there for the Lobos, isn't it. 903 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it is, because they're talking they're like, well, yeah, Obama, 904 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 2: because you know that was a very clearly like well, 905 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 2: what about President Obama and the assassination of Anwar Al Alwaki, 906 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,320 Speaker 2: which he basically just greenlit th to this Solicitor General's office, 907 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,839 Speaker 2: even though he was an American citizen and was never 908 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 2: once convicted of a crime, let alone stripped of his 909 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 2: citizenship and allowed to be killed by his own government. 910 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,800 Speaker 2: So this gets then to the question about that official 911 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,320 Speaker 2: act where they appears that the court is going to 912 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 2: split the difference. Let's go and put this up there 913 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,880 Speaker 2: on the screen. What they are showing from the arguments 914 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 2: is that they are likely to side with Trump on 915 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 2: some presidential immunity. What might mean by that is that 916 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:52,360 Speaker 2: they're they're going to narrow the indictment such that Jack 917 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 2: Smith is going to have to go back and use 918 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,360 Speaker 2: some legal minutia to argue that much of the Trump 919 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:03,240 Speaker 2: false elector's schemes happened as in his personal capacity as president. 920 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,919 Speaker 2: The way that they're going to argue that actually does 921 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 2: comply with some of the facts, Crystal. It gets to, 922 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 2: for example, some of his off the book's Oval office 923 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,399 Speaker 2: meetings which were not happening in his official capacity, We're 924 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 2: happening as campaign capacity. Yeah, so they need to go 925 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,360 Speaker 2: back and basically narrow and tailor the indictment after this 926 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 2: is issued to specify that this happened as campaign Trump 927 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 2: and not as President Trump. It gets into that question 928 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,239 Speaker 2: of official versus campaign and also not remember we're not 929 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 2: talking here about the speech or even the actions of 930 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 2: January sixth. It's often conflated. The actual indictment focuses on 931 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 2: the false elector scheme specifically, and so they have to 932 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 2: go back and tailor what is and is not an 933 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 2: official act in terms of the indictment. Now, the reason 934 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 2: any of this matters is because A it's narrowing the 935 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 2: definition of official act of the presidency. But BA procedurally, 936 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 2: this is almost certainly going to delay the trial until 937 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 2: after the November twenty twenty four election. At least according 938 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 2: to the timelines that we've seen. Supreme Court still has 939 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 2: to issue an opinion on this that Jacksmith would then 940 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 2: have to go through all the procedural things that you 941 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 2: have to do. The Trump team throwing everything they can, 942 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,720 Speaker 2: So it does seem very likely now at this point 943 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,840 Speaker 2: that the only case that will come to trial before 944 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,799 Speaker 2: the November election, it's, you know, more likely than not, 945 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 2: is this stupid Stormy Daniels case in New York City, 946 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 2: which is astounding. 947 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 3: It's kind of crazy. I mean, it's very ironic. 948 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,239 Speaker 1: Incredibly, this is the one that actually the one that's 949 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 1: even ye I mean, yeah, it just a fate, but 950 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 1: here we are, I mean, it's anyway, with regard to 951 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: these arguments, it looks like four of the conservative justices 952 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 1: were very amenable to the Trump team's arguments about presidential immunity, 953 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 1: Roberts being kind of the swing vote, and as Sager 954 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 1: is indicating, what may happen here is they say, yes, 955 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 1: you're immune for official acts, but there's a big question 956 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 1: about how many of the acts that he's actually indicted 957 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 1: for our quote unquote official acts and how many are 958 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 1: private acts. And there was a lot of discussion and 959 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 1: debate that happened in these hearings about how you distinguish 960 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 1: between the two, because on its face, you might think 961 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 1: that it's clear, but you very quickly come to realize 962 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: that it's hard to draw the line in a lot 963 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,360 Speaker 1: of instances. And I think with regard to this January 964 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 1: sixth indictment in particular, i'll read. 965 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 3: A little bit from that piece. 966 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 1: We just had up several justices press the Trump team 967 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,720 Speaker 1: on how to distinguish official acts for which a president 968 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: would enjoy immunity under their theory, from private acts for 969 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: which he could still face criminal charges. Chief Justice John 970 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 1: Roberts in particular asked the Trump team about a scenario 971 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 1: involving a president's official act appointing an ambassador, but that 972 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 1: he does in exchange for a bribe. When the Trump 973 00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: team conceded that accepting the bribe is p conduct. Robertson 974 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: urged them to explain how the boundary between an official 975 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 1: act and a private one would come into play. Prosecutors 976 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 1: could bring charges against the former president for accepting a 977 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 1: million dollars, Robert queried, or but they can't say what 978 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 1: it's for. So how do you where do you draw 979 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 1: that line? Can you say, Okay, this was for appointing investador? 980 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 1: Is that off limits because that's an official act? So 981 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 1: it becomes quite murky. Justice Selena Kagan also took up 982 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 1: this line of questioning. 983 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,320 Speaker 3: She had a series of examples. 984 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 1: She talked about, you know, signing a form affirming false 985 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 1: election allegations. 986 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:37,280 Speaker 3: Would that be private. 987 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 1: Trump's team said it would be, but they asserted that 988 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 1: other things like calling the chair of the Republican Party 989 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 1: would be official. So it was directly relevant to the 990 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,640 Speaker 1: Trump case. So, if you're signing a form asserting, yes, 991 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,120 Speaker 1: these fake electors are real, Arry, we're saying that's private. 992 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 1: But you're calling the chair of the Republican Party to 993 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 1: pressure them in this direction, that's official. 994 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 3: So again it's very murky. 995 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 1: When asked whether ordering the military, Harry to stage a 996 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: coup so the president could remain in office, was private 997 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 1: or official. The Trump team suggested it would depend on 998 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,839 Speaker 1: the circumstances, prompting Kegan to say that sure sounds bad, 999 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,760 Speaker 1: doesn't it. And you know, previously we had talked about 1000 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 1: how some of the Trump theory that they were arguing 1001 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: at the DC Circuit court level was, Hey, the process 1002 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 1: here is impeachment and conviction. 1003 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 3: That's the direction to go through. 1004 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 1: And some of the arguments here really indicated that even 1005 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,400 Speaker 1: if let's say Trump was impah over January sixth and 1006 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,760 Speaker 1: the attempts to overturn the election and convicted in the Senate, 1007 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 1: they still, under their argument, would be immune from criminal 1008 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,480 Speaker 1: prosecution around all of that. But you know, for my 1009 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 1: personal opinion, old fashioned, I think president should have to 1010 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 1: follow the law, whether it's Obama or Trump or anybody else. 1011 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 1: But in terms of the consequence for this case, I mean, 1012 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,839 Speaker 1: really is consequential for all future presidents, And you know, 1013 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 1: what they can do and what they feel entitled to do, 1014 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,760 Speaker 1: and the way that they frame their potentially future illegal acts. 1015 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 1: So it's very consequential not just for this case but 1016 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,919 Speaker 1: moving forward, but specifically for this case. If they do 1017 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 1: what it looks like they're going to do. At the 1018 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 1: very least, it's going to be another significant delay because 1019 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 1: not only may Jack Smith have to taylor the indictment, 1020 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,760 Speaker 1: but you're then very likely to have to go through 1021 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of additional court rulings about where do you 1022 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 1: draw the line is this appropriate or is this not appropriate? 1023 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,839 Speaker 1: And that could also have to go all the way 1024 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,799 Speaker 1: back up to the Supreme Court. So you know, the 1025 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,279 Speaker 1: delay tactics from Trump on this particular case, which I 1026 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 1: would say, you know, putting aside the strength of the 1027 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,880 Speaker 1: legal case, which I think, you know could be debated, 1028 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,400 Speaker 1: but in terms of what people hate the most about Trump, 1029 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 1: this one is really kind of at the core. And 1030 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like we're going to come anywhere close 1031 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,239 Speaker 1: to any sort of resolution with this before election, is 1032 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:54,879 Speaker 1: the bottom line? 1033 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 2: Well said, So there you go. Part of the reason too, 1034 00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,839 Speaker 2: there was such a dumb idea to indict Trump if 1035 00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,000 Speaker 2: you are going to indict him so late in the game, 1036 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 2: because now, congratulations. Honestly, the setupmerica up for even more 1037 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,680 Speaker 2: of a nightmare, because now what if he wins. The 1038 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 2: president elect on trial, the current president of the United 1039 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 2: States on trial, if you think these currents are remport 1040 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,280 Speaker 2: courses are crazy. Imagine if he's sitting in the damn 1041 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 2: office while this is all happening. I mean, it's just 1042 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 2: absolute madness. Let's move on now to the next part. 1043 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 2: This is one that we just couldn't let slide. Howard Stern. 1044 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 2: This is honestly, deeply sad and almost emotional in a 1045 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 2: certain sense. Howard Stern, I mean, was the icon of 1046 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 2: the United States find you know, as the anti establishment. 1047 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,440 Speaker 2: The FCC, you know, went after him for being loot 1048 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 2: or you know, cursing on the air. He signed his 1049 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,239 Speaker 2: deal with Sirius, he was totally uncensored. And then the 1050 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 2: last seven years or so we've seen a transformation of 1051 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,840 Speaker 2: this former renegade basically into like a blue and on liberal. 1052 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,400 Speaker 2: And I mean this has been coming now for quite 1053 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 2: some time. But Howard Stern, who, let's all be honest, 1054 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,959 Speaker 2: maybe more responsible for pop popularizing Trump than anybody else, 1055 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 2: used to have a standing segment where Trump would call 1056 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 2: in Milania two and the two of them would just 1057 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 2: like discuss like sex and weird, lewd stuff and they 1058 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,879 Speaker 2: would get you know, everybody would Everybody loved it because 1059 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,760 Speaker 2: Donald would go in with Howard, and there was very 1060 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 2: very popular segments there is now turned again into like 1061 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:23,320 Speaker 2: Trump is a fascist, and this culminates in this recent 1062 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:27,240 Speaker 2: interview where President Biden, who has not done an interview 1063 00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,359 Speaker 2: with a major news outlet yet including The New York 1064 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,439 Speaker 2: Times for his entire presidency, for print media. In terms 1065 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,920 Speaker 2: of TV, it's been I think like several I think 1066 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,400 Speaker 2: it's been more than a couple of months. Remember Chrystally 1067 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 2: famously skips out on the CBS interview for the Super Bowl. 1068 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 2: He has skipped multiple opportunities for major sit down interviews 1069 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 2: that millions of Americans would watch. Well. He then decides 1070 00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 2: to sit down for an hour long interview with Joe Biden. Now, 1071 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,400 Speaker 2: in the past this might have actually been important, you know, 1072 00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 2: Howard might have actually asked him one or two questions. 1073 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 2: Howard manages to sit with this man for an hour, 1074 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,840 Speaker 2: make one piece of news where he offhand He's like, oh, 1075 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,000 Speaker 2: are you going to debate Trump? And Biden's like, yeah, 1076 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 2: debate him at some point it doesn't even commit to 1077 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 2: a thing. And then listen to the tongue bath that 1078 00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:18,800 Speaker 2: Howard gives his interviewee subject. This is again Howard Sterning 1079 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,320 Speaker 2: a former renegade. Take a listen. 1080 00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,680 Speaker 13: Thank you for doing this today.

I looked at him. He said, Joey, 1107 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 14: it's simple. They love each other. That's it. 1108 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:43,800 Speaker 2: That's how I look at it. Do you have a 1109 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 2: question there, Howard? What the hell is that? I can't 1110 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 2: imagine a subject that I would ever interview, even if 1111 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 2: I was enamored by them, especially a politician. I would 1112 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 2: never speak to a politician somewhere. 1113 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,879 Speaker 3: Like what the most powerful man on the planet question? 1114 00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 2: What are you doing? 1115 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:01,360 Speaker 3: It? 1116 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:01,920 Speaker 2: Yes? 1117 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: Was honestly, remember how we used to always make fun 1118 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 1: of that slobbering and Arenicle. 1119 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 3: Wallace did, which. 1120 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:10,280 Speaker 2: It was one times. 1121 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna talk about this. I'm in my monologue 1122 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 1: about the White House Correspondence dinner where they're calling us 1123 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 1: talking about his decency?

I mean, you know, 1148 00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,280 Speaker 2: think about Ukraine bringing us to the brink of nuclear war, 1149 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 2: like continuing that forever. Also the idea that there's some 1150 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 2: well oiled machine there. You know, I was saying while 1151 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 2: the clip was playing to you, they should hire Howard 1152 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 2: as its press secretary because they can't even fire the 1153 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 2: current press like Gosch he's black, even though they literally 1154 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 2: walked to fire, but they're so afraid of the affirmative 1155 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 2: action consequences of firing a black lesbian. That's so much 1156 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:11,760 Speaker 2: of a joke that these people are. So it's like, 1157 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,600 Speaker 2: you know, father of this country, the whole father of 1158 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 2: the country, mister decency. I mean, all of this really 1159 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 2: goes to the fact that his son is dead, which 1160 00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 2: is obviously tragic and sad, but you know, let's be honest, 1161 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 2: like that's not a qualification for being president of the 1162 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 2: United States. There's a lot of people in this country 1163 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,440 Speaker 2: whose kids are dead and or can speak with some 1164 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 2: empathy or compassion or you know, use it as foundational 1165 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,680 Speaker 2: experience of their life. I just this is sickening to 1166 00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 2: me on so many levels, both because of who Howard 1167 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 2: was and how he got his fame, how he really 1168 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,480 Speaker 2: changed American culture, I think for the better, you know, 1169 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:47,560 Speaker 2: opening up challenging a lot of these conceptions of censorious, 1170 00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 2: like censorious or government organizations and standards and all that 1171 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 2: was very constraining to speech. And we know that Howard 1172 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,320 Speaker 2: thirty years ago, no matter, absolutely would not have stood 1173 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 2: for the current type of environment and all that that 1174 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,920 Speaker 2: Biden has brought to the table. But for some reason, 1175 01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 2: you know, his brain has just been completely broken. So 1176 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 2: it's sad that that again too, that's the only time 1177 01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,320 Speaker 2: of interview that Biden will sit for. How can you 1178 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 2: have this? 1179 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 3: That's right? 1180 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,680 Speaker 1: As a republic You can see, I mean you can 1181 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:19,200 Speaker 1: see why see why he picked Howard Stern clearly and 1182 01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 1: why he won't go and sit with Yeah. I mean 1183 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 1: the New York Times is very favorable towards him, but 1184 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:24,520 Speaker 1: they're going to ask. 1185 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 3: Him something that he's going to have to, yeah, no question. 1186 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:31,120 Speaker 1: Respond to, and I mean he's not equipped, right, So 1187 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,760 Speaker 1: that's why he does it is because he can get 1188 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 1: away with it and you can just you know, go 1189 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 1: on like Howard Stern, or go on with some like 1190 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 1: Mindfulness podcast, which is not going to ask him anything. 1191 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 3: Difficult, and you. 1192 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:47,760 Speaker 1: Know, it's a real political problem. It's obviously a moral 1193 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 1: like abyss in terms of what he's done in his 1194 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,240 Speaker 1: presidency vis A vi Gaza, but it's a real political 1195 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 1: problem for him because the core value that was kind 1196 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 1: of his like political super power was this sense that 1197 01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 1: he's this Listen, I may not agree with him, but 1198 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 1: he's a decent man. He's compassionate, he shows he has 1199 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 1: all this well of empathy from a life that was 1200 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 1: marked by genuine, horrible tragedy. 1201 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,920 Speaker 3: Right, but we covered a pole recently. 1202 01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:17,200 Speaker 1: I wish I had the numbers in from you right 1203 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,600 Speaker 1: now that people don't feel that way about him anymore. 1204 01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 1: They don't feel that way about him anymore because you know, 1205 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 1: you look at what he's doing and what he's enabling, 1206 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,760 Speaker 1: what he's funding, what he's covering for, and you can 1207 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 1: no longer say like, oh, this is an empathetic, compassionate man. 1208 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,600 Speaker 1: It just doesn't hold, especially if you're talking about you know, 1209 01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,040 Speaker 1: as our pole reflects people who are not getting their 1210 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 1: news from cable news or print media, but cable news 1211 01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,200 Speaker 1: in particular. The rest of the country is looking at 1212 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 1: what he is not just enabling but facilitating starvation, the 1213 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 1: complete siege, all of these things. I don't feel like 1214 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 1: this is a good, decent, compassionate man. So previously, I 1215 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,080 Speaker 1: feel like some comments like this are the ones from 1216 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 1: the White House correspond or whatever. They would have passed 1217 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,280 Speaker 1: without a lot of commentary, because there were a lot 1218 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 1: of people who felt that way, who used to feel 1219 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 1: that way about Joe Biden, and that image is falling 1220 01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 1: apart by the day. 1221 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it has fell part for a lot of people 1222 01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 2: a long time ago. Let's move on now to RFK Junior. 1223 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 2: In the war between RFK Junior and Donald Trump is escalating. 1224 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 2: RFK Junior appears to have really set Trump off with 1225 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,320 Speaker 2: some It's either his interview on Bill Maher and specifically 1226 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,400 Speaker 2: the vaccine section. So we're going to play for you 1227 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 2: what RFK Junior said with Bill Maher and then we're 1228 01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:36,400 Speaker 2: going to show you Trump's responses plan. 1229 01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 15: But your vice presidential pick wants to recall the Maderna vaccine. 1230 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:47,880 Speaker 15: That's the one I got. Well, do you agree with 1231 01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:48,800 Speaker 15: that recall it? 1232 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 12: I think you know they I make those vaccines need 1233 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,240 Speaker 12: to we need to have again true double line. Plet's 1234 01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,120 Speaker 12: even controlled trials on that. There's twenty five percent of 1235 01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 12: Americans who believe that they know somebody who was killed 1236 01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 12: a COVID vaccine killed killed twenty five percent of Americans. 1237 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,840 Speaker 12: Fifty two percent of Americans believed that the vaccines are 1238 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 12: causing injuries including death fifty two percent. Oh, if you 1239 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 12: look at the clinical trial studies, the actual studies that 1240 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 12: were done that were released of the Fireser vaccine, Moderna 1241 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,640 Speaker 12: has not released it. If you look at the Fiser vaccine, 1242 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,920 Speaker 12: there was there were twenty two thousand people in the 1243 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:39,800 Speaker 12: placebit group, twenty two thousand people who got the actual vaccine, 1244 01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,840 Speaker 12: and the people who got the vaccine had a twenty 1245 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:48,360 Speaker 12: three percent higher death rate from all causes at the 1246 01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:49,200 Speaker 12: end of that study. 1247 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,280 Speaker 15: But that could not be the disease itself. 1248 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 2: Well, so as you can see Arcade Junior versus Bill 1249 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,840 Speaker 2: Maher there. But what was interesting is how Trump is 1250 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:00,640 Speaker 2: now handling this. So let's go put this up there 1251 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,480 Speaker 2: on the screen. So Donald Trump puts out this long truth. God, 1252 01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,880 Speaker 2: the character limit really was good for him. This is 1253 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,479 Speaker 2: way too long, says I actually watched for the first 1254 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,120 Speaker 2: time in a long time. Ratings challenged Bill Maher's really 1255 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:15,200 Speaker 2: boring interview with RFK Junior RFK, only to find Junior 1256 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,280 Speaker 2: is far more liberal than Mar and in fact far 1257 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,840 Speaker 2: more liberal than anyone else running as a Democrat, including 1258 01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,520 Speaker 2: West and Stein. Yet despite this, he has no hope 1259 01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 2: as a Democrat because they were able to use their 1260 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 2: typically fascist repression blah blah blah throw them out of 1261 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 2: the party like a dog. So now Junior's a so 1262 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,120 Speaker 2: called independent, but he's not. He's a radical left wing 1263 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,520 Speaker 2: lunatic trying to have it all way. He says that 1264 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 2: no vaccine is safe and effective and then said I 1265 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,800 Speaker 2: would never say I'm not anti vaccine. Where did that 1266 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:50,360 Speaker 2: come from? Mar defended the vaccine, which Junior seemed to agree, Wow, 1267 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 2: and then told him his poll numbers of crash. No 1268 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,760 Speaker 2: Republican can vote for this guy. Hashtag MAGA twenty twenty four. 1269 01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 2: No idea what Trump is trying to say there exactly crystal, 1270 01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,160 Speaker 2: But but I think what he can sense, at least correctly, 1271 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:07,040 Speaker 2: is that a vaccine politics is disproportionately going to resonate 1272 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,840 Speaker 2: with people who are right wing, and that therefore something 1273 01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 2: like RFK Junior there citing those numbers which probably disproportionately 1274 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,960 Speaker 2: going to be Republicans or Republican leaning voters, and Trump's 1275 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:19,680 Speaker 2: not an idiot. He can read a poll, how many 1276 01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 2: internal polls? 1277 01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:20,360 Speaker 3: Not? 1278 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,080 Speaker 2: Is he probably able to see now that confirm a 1279 01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:24,800 Speaker 2: lot of the reporting we've had here on this show 1280 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,200 Speaker 2: and elsewhere that RFK Junior actually could end up affecting 1281 01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,520 Speaker 2: Trump and drawing more from his voters than anybody else 1282 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:32,080 Speaker 2: in the election. 1283 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:35,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I think most Americans overwhelmingly have moved 1284 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:36,280 Speaker 1: on from. 1285 01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,720 Speaker 3: COVID politics as retired. This was years ago now, but. 1286 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:43,160 Speaker 1: There is still a like core base on the right 1287 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:47,040 Speaker 1: in particular that is still like this. This is a 1288 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,680 Speaker 1: big thing for them, and it's one of the areas 1289 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,439 Speaker 1: where Trump's more vulnerable because he did operational warp speed 1290 01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,480 Speaker 1: and he continued even as the Republican base went to 1291 01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 1: the anti VAXs side pretty hard, he continued to defend 1292 01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,760 Speaker 1: the vaccines and a time, like face some blowback over that. 1293 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,240 Speaker 1: So I think he feels a little bit vulnerable. Not 1294 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 1: that this is going to be a huge wave of 1295 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:13,280 Speaker 1: support from his group to RFK Junior's group, but I 1296 01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 1: think he feels that this is an issue where he's 1297 01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,760 Speaker 1: a little bit vulnerable to losing some percentage points. 1298 01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:18,520 Speaker 3: I do want to. 1299 01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he does make a point about RFK Junior 1300 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,680 Speaker 1: that I think is fair, which is that he does 1301 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 1: play very like fast and loose with what he actually 1302 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: thinks about vaccines. Because the quote that they're referring to 1303 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,400 Speaker 1: was from Lex Readman's podcast. Remember this, this is from 1304 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,120 Speaker 1: July twenty twenty three. So he was being asked, you know, 1305 01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 1: if any vaccines are safe and effective, and he said 1306 01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 1: there is no vaccine that is safe and effective. Now, 1307 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,680 Speaker 1: what he tries to claim is that he did say 1308 01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,000 Speaker 1: that some of this is the exact quote, some of 1309 01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:51,800 Speaker 1: the live virus vaccines are probably averting war problems than 1310 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 1: they're causing. But then he went on when he was 1311 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,280 Speaker 1: pressed and said there is no vaccine that is safe 1312 01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:58,120 Speaker 1: and effective. 1313 01:06:58,320 --> 01:06:59,720 Speaker 3: So I think it's it's. 1314 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 1: Fair to call him then an anti vaxxerra. Of course, 1315 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,280 Speaker 1: he's been one of the leading like funders and organizers 1316 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,200 Speaker 1: of an entire movement again, you know, pushing back on 1317 01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:12,720 Speaker 1: the idea of vaccine safety. So in any case, this 1318 01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 1: is an area where Trump feels like RFK obviously codes 1319 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,880 Speaker 1: more right wing, and I think he also is seeing 1320 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:23,200 Speaker 1: some of the polling numbers and realizing this could actually 1321 01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,040 Speaker 1: be more of an issue for him than it is 1322 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,680 Speaker 1: for Joe Biden, because not only do you have a 1323 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,040 Speaker 1: couple of polls that show him pulling more from Trump, 1324 01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:31,800 Speaker 1: the one we covered last week, what was that Wall 1325 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,720 Speaker 1: Street jour NBC News that we covered last week? I 1326 01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: believe the Wall Street Journal one before that also showed 1327 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,480 Speaker 1: RFK Junior taking more from Trump. And then if you 1328 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,320 Speaker 1: look at any of these polls, RFK Junior has very 1329 01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:48,120 Speaker 1: had approval ratings among Republicans and extremely trash approval ratings 1330 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:52,200 Speaker 1: among Democrats. So logic would indicate that that's probably going 1331 01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 1: to be more of a problem for the Republican side, 1332 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 1: although you know, the fact he's Kennedy and all of 1333 01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 1: these other factors are a little complicating, not to mention 1334 01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:00,160 Speaker 1: the fact that it remains a question how many else 1335 01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:01,120 Speaker 1: he's actually gonna end up. 1336 01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,080 Speaker 2: You can see this too, and some more of the 1337 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,880 Speaker 2: attacks that Trump unleashed over the weekend on RFK Junior 1338 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,000 Speaker 2: lests put this up there on the screen. He really 1339 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 2: does appear to be zooming in on vaccines, specifically as 1340 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:14,840 Speaker 2: an attack vector. He says, RFK Junior is a Democrat plant, 1341 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,559 Speaker 2: a radical left liberal, blah, blah blah. If Republicans knew 1342 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 2: the true story about him, Junior is totally anti gun, 1343 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,960 Speaker 2: an extreme environmentalist, a big time taxer, an open border advocate, 1344 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 2: anti military vet. He goes on and on and on, 1345 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:32,000 Speaker 2: and he continues to quote. His views on vaccines are fake. 1346 01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 2: He says, I live with RFK Junior in New York. 1347 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:36,960 Speaker 2: Watch him convince Cuomo to make environmental moves that were 1348 01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,280 Speaker 2: out right nasty. You know, he can go on. It 1349 01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,240 Speaker 2: would be dead either way. His views are vaccines are fake, 1350 01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:45,400 Speaker 2: as is everything else about his candidacy. Let the Democrats 1351 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,400 Speaker 2: have RFK Junior. They deserve him, so it is interesting 1352 01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:49,800 Speaker 2: to see he's zooming in here. 1353 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:50,200 Speaker 1: FI. 1354 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not really again, not exactly clear what exactly 1355 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:56,080 Speaker 2: is trying to do here. We do here have a 1356 01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,640 Speaker 2: response from RFK Junior. Let's put this up there on 1357 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,000 Speaker 2: the screen. And he expanded a little bit this in 1358 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,920 Speaker 2: a recent interview. He says, when frightened men take to 1359 01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,320 Speaker 2: social media, they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them 1360 01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,280 Speaker 2: sound unhinged. President Trump's rant against me is a barely 1361 01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,519 Speaker 2: coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should be 1362 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,360 Speaker 2: best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate, 1363 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,120 Speaker 2: President Trump, who has proven himself the most adapt debater 1364 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,200 Speaker 2: in modern American history, should not be panicked to meet 1365 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,720 Speaker 2: me on that stage. To preview my arguments, I will 1366 01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 2: show how Trump betrayed the hopes of his most sincere followers. 1367 01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,160 Speaker 2: He promised to end the Ukraine War, then included with Johnson, 1368 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,280 Speaker 2: he led big farm. He led big farm on his 1369 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 2: correct bureaucrats run a rough shot over from his President 1370 01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,519 Speaker 2: promised to cut the deafsit, et cetera. He says, instead 1371 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,120 Speaker 2: of lobbing poisonous bombs from the safety of his bunker. 1372 01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,759 Speaker 2: Let's hear President Trump defend his record to me mono 1373 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 2: I mono, by respectful congenial debate. So he's challenging Trump 1374 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,720 Speaker 2: to a debate. Very unlikely that Trump will accept it, 1375 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 2: although one thing I will say it includes more likely 1376 01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,639 Speaker 2: now Biden has agreed to some sort of debate. Trump 1377 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,200 Speaker 2: of course, is chomping at the bit for a debate 1378 01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 2: that because of this debate. Apparently the Biden people don't 1379 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,519 Speaker 2: like the Commission on Presidential Debates either, so it could 1380 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,519 Speaker 2: be that we could see the CPD fall apart and 1381 01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,479 Speaker 2: if it does, it would be I think more likely 1382 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:13,200 Speaker 2: that RFK Junior may actually be included, maybe as a 1383 01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 2: condition either by the Biden campaign or the Trump campaign, 1384 01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,360 Speaker 2: possibly to try and trip the other side up. If 1385 01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 2: we do see the overall debate infrastructure collapse. But I'm 1386 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,880 Speaker 2: not one hundred percent sure how it will all shake. 1387 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,519 Speaker 3: I mean we should see that. We should see Jill Steyne. 1388 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,080 Speaker 1: I would love to, you know, doctor Westaffians up on 1389 01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:31,479 Speaker 1: a number of ballots. We should hear from all of 1390 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:33,400 Speaker 1: these candidates. They should be able to compare and contrast 1391 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,920 Speaker 1: their ideas. You should have people who have a variety 1392 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:37,760 Speaker 1: of opinions who have to match up against each other 1393 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,360 Speaker 1: on a stage and see how they perform. Like, debates 1394 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:42,559 Speaker 1: are not perfect, they're not the end all be all, 1395 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:44,760 Speaker 1: but got at least it's like a little bit of 1396 01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 1: a democratic process. So allow us to judge in real 1397 01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 1: time what they say under pressure, how they respond to 1398 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,720 Speaker 1: actually difficult questions, because now it's far too easy for 1399 01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:58,160 Speaker 1: these candidates. And RFK Junior, I mean he's sat with us, 1400 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:01,440 Speaker 1: He sat for a number of difficult, cult challenging interviews, 1401 01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:03,559 Speaker 1: and I applout him for that. All of these candidates 1402 01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:05,720 Speaker 1: should have to do that. They should have to do that, 1403 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,519 Speaker 1: and they should certainly have to get up on a 1404 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 1: debate stage and justify themselves in their. 1405 01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:12,719 Speaker 3: Candidacies to the American people. So listen. 1406 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,479 Speaker 1: I was glad to hear Biden say he's open to 1407 01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,639 Speaker 1: a debate. We'll see if that actually comes together, because 1408 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,120 Speaker 1: I could still see you know, a lot of times 1409 01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 1: what will happen with Biden is he'll say something and 1410 01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,000 Speaker 1: then his staff will be like, no, no, no, that's 1411 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,400 Speaker 1: not really what he meant, and you know, walk it 1412 01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:31,640 Speaker 1: back and sort of try to steer him in the 1413 01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:35,160 Speaker 1: direction where they feel safest, which is probably the wisest course. 1414 01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,679 Speaker 1: Probably the wisest course for him is not to debate 1415 01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. But it did make me a little bit 1416 01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,519 Speaker 1: hopeful that we might see one when he said that. 1417 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:43,360 Speaker 3: With Howard Stern. 1418 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,000 Speaker 1: I could still see them though, like you know, at 1419 01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,400 Speaker 1: the end of the day, Trump doing something that they say, oh, 1420 01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,599 Speaker 1: this is toom we can't stand on a debate stage 1421 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:54,679 Speaker 1: with him, or you know, no, this moderator's biased, whatever, 1422 01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:56,960 Speaker 1: coming up with some excuse at the last minute to 1423 01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,840 Speaker 1: not do it. So I'm still like only maybe thirty 1424 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:01,400 Speaker 1: hopeful is actually going to happen. 1425 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:01,880 Speaker 2: Good point. 1426 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,840 Speaker 1: So, as we reported last week, it is looking more 1427 01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 1: and more likely that the International Criminal Court is actually 1428 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,799 Speaker 1: going to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 1429 01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 1: Netnahu and a number of other top Israeli officials. So 1430 01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,200 Speaker 1: the US has decided to involve themselves in an attempt 1431 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,080 Speaker 1: to stop this process. Let's put this up on the screen. 1432 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,720 Speaker 1: This will report specifically from the Times of Israel, but 1433 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,720 Speaker 1: there were a number of reports across Israeli media. So 1434 01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 1: according to those reports, the US is part of a 1435 01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:36,240 Speaker 1: quote last ditch diplomatic effort, in other words, threats to 1436 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,439 Speaker 1: prevent the ICC from issuing arrest warrants against net Nyaho 1437 01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:42,599 Speaker 1: and other Israeli officials. The news site Walla, an analyst 1438 01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:46,400 Speaker 1: there writes Netanyahu is quote under unusual stress over the 1439 01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:48,720 Speaker 1: prospect of an arrest warrant against him another Israelis by 1440 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 1: the UN Tribunal in the HAGU. 1441 01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:51,880 Speaker 3: Which would be a major deterioration. 1442 01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,680 Speaker 1: They write in Israel's international status, Netnahu is leading a 1443 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,840 Speaker 1: quote NonStop push over the telephone to prevent that arrest 1444 01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,599 Speaker 1: weren't and has focused especially on US President Joe Biden. 1445 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:08,519 Speaker 1: Another Israeli media analyst, Haretz Amos Herald writes that the 1446 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,679 Speaker 1: Israeli government is working under the assumption that the ICC's 1447 01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:17,000 Speaker 1: prosecutor made this week issue warrants for net Yahu. Defense 1448 01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:21,719 Speaker 1: Minister Joev Gallant, an IDF chief of staff herzi Heleev. 1449 01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:25,519 Speaker 1: Netnahu's latest public statement about the war said forthcoming decisions 1450 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,559 Speaker 1: by the ICC could set a quote dangerous precedent, and 1451 01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 1: he also said we will never stop defending ourselves. Whereas 1452 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,000 Speaker 1: decisions of the court in the Hague will not affect 1453 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:38,040 Speaker 1: Israel's actions, they would be a precedent threatening the soldiers 1454 01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:42,160 Speaker 1: and officials of any democracy fighting criminal terrorism and aggression. 1455 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:46,160 Speaker 1: There was also soccer a New York Times report this 1456 01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:47,680 Speaker 1: was the first one I'd seen in the New York 1457 01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,799 Speaker 1: Times that came out just yesterday evening about how imminent 1458 01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:55,000 Speaker 1: these potential arrest warrants are. They said in that report 1459 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,040 Speaker 1: from the New York Times they had some indication of 1460 01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,320 Speaker 1: what the arrest warrants may be specific to the Israeli 1461 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,559 Speaker 1: officials could potentially be accused of preventing the delivery of 1462 01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:07,160 Speaker 1: humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip and pursuing an excessively 1463 01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:10,879 Speaker 1: harsh response to the Hamas led October seventh attacks on Israel. 1464 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,000 Speaker 1: According to some of the officials they spoke to the 1465 01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:16,519 Speaker 1: Israeli officials who are worried about the potential fallout from 1466 01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:18,599 Speaker 1: such a case, that they believe net Nyaho is among 1467 01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 1: those who might be named. Is not clear who might 1468 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,879 Speaker 1: be charged from Hamas or what crimes would be cited. 1469 01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:29,360 Speaker 1: So just to be clear for people, the US and 1470 01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:34,840 Speaker 1: Israel are not actually participants in the ICC. The ICC 1471 01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 1: doesn't have its own like police force to come and 1472 01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 1: arrest Bib net Nyaho. As much as I would personally 1473 01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:45,320 Speaker 1: love to see that image. However, there are what one 1474 01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:51,559 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four countries that are involved in the ICC, 1475 01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,000 Speaker 1: and any one of those countries would be obligated if 1476 01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 1: they travel to those nations to arrest Bib or Yoev 1477 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,920 Speaker 1: Gallant or any other officials who were potentially issued these 1478 01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 1: arrest warrants. So, you know, obviously, in terms of the 1479 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:11,559 Speaker 1: international standing of Israel, having your prime minister having arrest 1480 01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,040 Speaker 1: warrant from the ICC out for war crimes against your 1481 01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,479 Speaker 1: prime minister is pretty significant development. 1482 01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're only two foreign leaders that similarly have ICC 1483 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:23,160 Speaker 2: warrants against them. Omar al Bashir, former president of Sudan, 1484 01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:26,000 Speaker 2: and then obviously Vladimir Putin as well. Are they going 1485 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,439 Speaker 2: to be arrested, Like, let's be real, No, They're going 1486 01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,880 Speaker 2: to be able to travel far and wide as Putin 1487 01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,479 Speaker 2: has been able to do. However, Putin has had issues, 1488 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,040 Speaker 2: right he wasn't allowed to or he decided not to 1489 01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:39,960 Speaker 2: challenge ICC to travel to South Africa for the Bricks Conference. 1490 01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,160 Speaker 2: There have been various political problems that he has had. 1491 01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:46,040 Speaker 2: And look, while I am against the Ukraine Consensus, funding, 1492 01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:48,439 Speaker 2: the Ukraine War and all of that, I don't think 1493 01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,080 Speaker 2: anyone could deny that it's been bad for Russia in 1494 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:55,160 Speaker 2: terms of its international standing, not necessarily their domestic economy. 1495 01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:57,320 Speaker 2: It hasn't led to their collapse, That's not what I'm saying. 1496 01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:00,360 Speaker 2: I'm saying it certainly has damaged them in the eyes 1497 01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,000 Speaker 2: of the world, and so similarly, I would say this 1498 01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,719 Speaker 2: is likely the same effect that this would have, especially 1499 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 2: since the US the Israel not signatories. I was a 1500 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:11,080 Speaker 2: little curious about this Hamas warrants because I hadn't seen 1501 01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,080 Speaker 2: some of the argumentation around this. It said it was 1502 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,719 Speaker 2: considering warrants for these leaders of hamasi As for charge. 1503 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,320 Speaker 2: I actually think just look again, in terms of the 1504 01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:22,200 Speaker 2: eyes of the world, it would make it a little 1505 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,920 Speaker 2: bit more undeniable if they were to do it, And 1506 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:27,600 Speaker 2: so if they did it would be at least politically, 1507 01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:29,559 Speaker 2: that would probably be the right thing to do if 1508 01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,400 Speaker 2: you charge him for October seventh, issue arrest warrants as well. Now, 1509 01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:36,759 Speaker 2: again let's be very clear, this body has zero enforcement mechanism. 1510 01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,320 Speaker 2: There's a reason that Bushier, at the end of the day, 1511 01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,679 Speaker 2: was taken out by a coup in his own government, 1512 01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:44,880 Speaker 2: and that Putin similarly will remain the autocrat of Russia 1513 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:46,799 Speaker 2: for as long as he lives and as he wants. 1514 01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:51,000 Speaker 2: Because it has no authority itself. It's simply kind of 1515 01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,720 Speaker 2: a rebuke from the international community. To the extent that 1516 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:55,240 Speaker 2: that matters, difficult to say. 1517 01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and war crimes were committed on October seventh, there 1518 01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:00,719 Speaker 1: should be accountability for that. There should be war crimes 1519 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:05,479 Speaker 1: trials for everyone who was involved in murdering innocent civilians 1520 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:09,040 Speaker 1: on October seventh, And there certainly should be accountability for 1521 01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:12,720 Speaker 1: bby Nan Nahoo and the other you know, government officials 1522 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:17,520 Speaker 1: who've been involved in a siege, creating famine, causing starvation 1523 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,840 Speaker 1: to death of babies and children, and of course the 1524 01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,760 Speaker 1: overwhelming annihilation throughout the Gaza driving one number. We're talking 1525 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,080 Speaker 1: about college campus and whatever. So this popped up today. 1526 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:31,080 Speaker 1: Two hundred schools have been targeted by Israel, just as 1527 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:35,800 Speaker 1: one measure of how overwhelming and how much civilian infrastructure 1528 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:39,639 Speaker 1: was just completely obliterated. Not to mention the forty thousand 1529 01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,920 Speaker 1: plus palestings who've been killed, to overwhelming majority of whom 1530 01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 1: were innocent civilians. You know, some seventy percent were women 1531 01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,760 Speaker 1: and children. So even if you assume all of the 1532 01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:55,439 Speaker 1: rest of the men were guilty terrorists, whatever, you still 1533 01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 1: have overwhelming numbers who were innocent civilians. So, you know, 1534 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,200 Speaker 1: it's discussed that the US would jump in here and 1535 01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,400 Speaker 1: try to throw their weight around to try to forestall 1536 01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,680 Speaker 1: these arrest warrants being issued. But you know why they 1537 01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,400 Speaker 1: do it because it's very uncomfortable for the US as well. 1538 01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:13,320 Speaker 1: You know, we want to keep our cloak of supposed morality, 1539 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:15,840 Speaker 1: and so if you've got the ICC out there issuing 1540 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:19,680 Speaker 1: arrest warrant for your bestie bb net Yahoo, that's going 1541 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,400 Speaker 1: to be uncomfortable. For the US as well, which has 1542 01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:25,040 Speaker 1: gone out of their way to deny that they see 1543 01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:26,320 Speaker 1: any evidence of war crimes. 1544 01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:27,439 Speaker 3: More on that in a moment. 1545 01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:29,800 Speaker 1: The last thing I'll say about Israel with regards to 1546 01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:34,000 Speaker 1: this is, you know, in some ways their moral standing 1547 01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:37,360 Speaker 1: as a country is more important than maybe any other nation, 1548 01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:40,160 Speaker 1: because they use that moral standing and the you know, 1549 01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:46,040 Speaker 1: the horrors of the Holocaust in order to justify continued occupation, 1550 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:50,000 Speaker 1: continued apartheid state, things that would be seen very clearly 1551 01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:54,040 Speaker 1: in different context if it wasn't Israel. This is used 1552 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:59,280 Speaker 1: from a propaganda standpoint to justify this entire state, the 1553 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,920 Speaker 1: way that they operate across administrations outside of just bibing 1554 01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,839 Speaker 1: net and Yahoo. So that's part of why these threats 1555 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:11,480 Speaker 1: to the moral standing of Israel specifically are a particular 1556 01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 1: problem for them, and why, at least reportedly maybe even 1557 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,080 Speaker 1: though he knows he's not going to actually be arrested, 1558 01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,200 Speaker 1: why he's very concerned about this and putting a lot 1559 01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:22,960 Speaker 1: of pressure in holding emergency meetings to try to figure 1560 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,479 Speaker 1: out how to deal with the fallout from what looks 1561 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:29,040 Speaker 1: to be impending as soon as potentially this week arrest warrants. 1562 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,599 Speaker 1: But we'll see if the US is able to thwart 1563 01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:35,840 Speaker 1: any of those sort of consequences. We have some exclusive 1564 01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 1: pulling that is highly relevant to this discussion of Israel's 1565 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:43,720 Speaker 1: conduct in a Gaza strip, and we're taking a look 1566 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 1: at these specifically by partisanships. So how do Republicans, Democrats, 1567 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 1: and independence feel about Israeli military actions, you know, post 1568 01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:55,240 Speaker 1: October seventh. Let's put this first one up on the screen. 1569 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,240 Speaker 1: So the question here is you know which of the 1570 01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:00,040 Speaker 1: following statements comes close. 1571 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:01,320 Speaker 3: To to your view. 1572 01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:05,560 Speaker 1: The options are Israel's committing genocide, Israel's not committing genocide, 1573 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:11,240 Speaker 1: and don't know. So you have even actually twenty three 1574 01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:15,679 Speaker 1: percent of Republicans saying they think Israel's committing genocide versus 1575 01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:19,160 Speaker 1: forty seven percent who say no. On the Democratic side, 1576 01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:23,280 Speaker 1: it is quite overwhelming. So forty eight percent a near 1577 01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:28,759 Speaker 1: majority say affirmatively yes, eighteen percent say no, only eighteen 1578 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:32,120 Speaker 1: percent and another thirty five percent say don't know. So 1579 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:38,120 Speaker 1: huge plurality, near majority saying yes it's a genocide. If 1580 01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,360 Speaker 1: you look specifically at Joe Biden voters, by the way, 1581 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,360 Speaker 1: within our poll, it is a majority. And then with 1582 01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:49,120 Speaker 1: Independence too, you have a plurality who say Israel is 1583 01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:53,400 Speaker 1: committing genocide thirty percent versus twenty three percent who say no, 1584 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:56,400 Speaker 1: and forty seven percent who say they don't know. 1585 01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,759 Speaker 3: So overall you have about a third. 1586 01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,120 Speaker 1: Of a marriage perkins who are saying, yes, this is 1587 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 1: a genocide. That's pretty astonishing when you consider the way 1588 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:10,400 Speaker 1: that Israel has been viewed with this bipartisan halo for 1589 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 1: decades and decades and decades, and now you have this 1590 01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:17,280 Speaker 1: sizable minority of about a third and majority Joe Biden 1591 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:22,440 Speaker 1: voters saying they're committing genocide right now. That's an extraordinary 1592 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 1: shift in public opinion. Let's put the next one up 1593 01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:30,439 Speaker 1: on the screen. Also relevant, highly relevant to the question 1594 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:35,120 Speaker 1: of ICC arrest warrants. So the question here is which 1595 01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 1: of these statements comes closest to your view. Israel has 1596 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:41,200 Speaker 1: committed war crimes in Gaza, Israel has not committed war 1597 01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:45,599 Speaker 1: crimes in Gaza, and don't know. Pretty similar numbers here. 1598 01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,000 Speaker 1: Twenty seven percent of Republicans slightly hire say yes they've 1599 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:52,000 Speaker 1: committed war crimes, forty one percent say no, thirty one 1600 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,880 Speaker 1: percent say I don't know. With Democrats it is the 1601 01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 1: majority fifty two percent say yes. Only eighteen percent of 1602 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,840 Speaker 1: Democrats say no. And you also have a plurality with 1603 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,720 Speaker 1: independence thirty four to twenty two. And let me just 1604 01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:06,920 Speaker 1: put this last one up on the screen, saga, and 1605 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:08,240 Speaker 1: get your reaction to all of these. 1606 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:10,760 Speaker 3: Specifically, we asked the. 1607 01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:17,240 Speaker 1: Question should Netanyahu be charged with war crimes? With Republicans, 1608 01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:20,880 Speaker 1: twenty four say twenty four percent. So according even of Republicans, 1609 01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:24,280 Speaker 1: pretty significant say yes, forty two percent say no, thirty 1610 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:27,200 Speaker 1: four percent say don't know. With Democrats it's another forty 1611 01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:31,360 Speaker 1: eight percent, it's only seventeen percent say no. So, Joe Biden, 1612 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,799 Speaker 1: only seventeen percent of your voters think this man shouldn't 1613 01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 1: be charged with war crimes, and you're in there intervening. 1614 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,240 Speaker 1: Thirty six percent say they don't know. With Independence, you've 1615 01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:43,160 Speaker 1: got another pluralities twenty six percent saying yes, should be 1616 01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:45,559 Speaker 1: charged with war crimes, only twenty percent say no, and 1617 01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:49,479 Speaker 1: fifty four percent say they do not know. So this 1618 01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:54,200 Speaker 1: shows you a pretty stark picture of where Americans are 1619 01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:57,000 Speaker 1: in terms of their public opinion of Israel and the 1620 01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:01,080 Speaker 1: way this war has been conducted, which, again, given the 1621 01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:04,639 Speaker 1: way people felt about Israel just a year ago, it's 1622 01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:05,759 Speaker 1: pretty dramatic shift. 1623 01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:09,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, It's a titanic shift in terms of the coalition, 1624 01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,559 Speaker 2: and it will significantly change the way things look for 1625 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,519 Speaker 2: the future. This is why I keep saying that things 1626 01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,120 Speaker 2: in the near term have not changed all that much, 1627 01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,720 Speaker 2: but things in the long term are significant, to the 1628 01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,840 Speaker 2: point where the relationship between the American people and Israel 1629 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:23,840 Speaker 2: will never be the same, and the relationship of the 1630 01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,600 Speaker 2: international community Israel will specifically never be the same and 1631 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,800 Speaker 2: probably more radically different than it is here in our nation. 1632 01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,599 Speaker 2: What that polling is underscores to me is the radical 1633 01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:36,759 Speaker 2: shift that's going on amongst the Democrats, but significantly also 1634 01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:38,719 Speaker 2: if you do start to break it down by age, 1635 01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,720 Speaker 2: which we did amongst the eighteen to twenty five or 1636 01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:44,719 Speaker 2: to eighteen to twenty nine demographic, even when you self 1637 01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,920 Speaker 2: select for Republicans and others, you see shifts very very 1638 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:52,080 Speaker 2: different away from the way that younger voters, younger Americans 1639 01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:55,720 Speaker 2: view their relationship with Israel as compared to the international 1640 01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:59,040 Speaker 2: community and the sixty five plus. So as America ages 1641 01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:01,679 Speaker 2: up and a lot of the younger voters become middle 1642 01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,400 Speaker 2: class Americans or thirty to forty five year olds and 1643 01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 2: others with more economic power, probably in general being more 1644 01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,479 Speaker 2: invested in the political system, there will be a significant change, 1645 01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:13,600 Speaker 2: and of course too in terms of the representatives of 1646 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:15,200 Speaker 2: people in Congress who represent them. 1647 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,920 Speaker 1: Let me just give you, guys the overall numbers on 1648 01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:22,040 Speaker 1: some of these questions. So in terms of whether people 1649 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:25,720 Speaker 1: believe war crimes have been committed in Gaza, you have 1650 01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:29,280 Speaker 1: a plurality. This is overall thirty seven percent versus twenty 1651 01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:31,639 Speaker 1: seven percent who say no, and the remainder say they 1652 01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:35,960 Speaker 1: don't know. With regards to bb specifically and whether he 1653 01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,040 Speaker 1: should be charged with war crimes, you once again have 1654 01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:42,160 Speaker 1: an overall plurality thirty two percent versus twenty six percent 1655 01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:45,200 Speaker 1: who say no, and the remainder say they don't know. 1656 01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:49,200 Speaker 1: So it is it is quite an extraordinary dramatic shift 1657 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,880 Speaker 1: for you know, plurality of Americans to be saying, yes, 1658 01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 1: we believe that this man who is the leader of 1659 01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:55,080 Speaker 1: Israel should be. 1660 01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:57,040 Speaker 3: Charged with war crimes. 1661 01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:01,280 Speaker 1: And you know who else agrees with many Americans on 1662 01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:03,720 Speaker 1: this is apparently many members of the State Department. Let's 1663 01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,080 Speaker 1: put this up on the screen. There was an internal 1664 01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:10,720 Speaker 1: memo from the State Department that was just leaked and 1665 01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 1: parts of it had been classified, and this journalist was 1666 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 1: able to get their hands on it, with some of 1667 01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:20,120 Speaker 1: the most extensive they write and serious to date warnings 1668 01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:23,919 Speaker 1: to Secretary Blincoln over Israel's possible non compliance with international 1669 01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:27,639 Speaker 1: humanitarian law. Go on to the next piece for some 1670 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:31,840 Speaker 1: of the details. Here, so they say, a joint submission 1671 01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:36,080 Speaker 1: from four bureaus Democracy, human Rights and Labor, Population, Refugees, Migration, 1672 01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:39,759 Speaker 1: Global Criminal Justice, and International Organization Affairs raised quote serious 1673 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:43,720 Speaker 1: concerns over non compliance with international humanitarian law in the 1674 01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:45,920 Speaker 1: Israel's conduct of the Gaza War. The assessment from the 1675 01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:51,720 Speaker 1: four bureaus said Israel's assurances were quote neither credible nor reliable. 1676 01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:52,880 Speaker 3: You don't say. 1677 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:57,000 Speaker 1: Cited eight examples of Israeli military actions, officials said, raise 1678 01:25:57,120 --> 01:26:00,720 Speaker 1: serious questions about potential violations of international humanitarian law. 1679 01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:02,439 Speaker 3: Let's go on to the next one. 1680 01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:09,920 Speaker 1: These include repeatedly striking protected sites and civilian infrastructure, unconscionably 1681 01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:13,599 Speaker 1: high levels of civilian harm to military advantage, taking little 1682 01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:17,200 Speaker 1: action to investigating violations or to hold to account those 1683 01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:21,559 Speaker 1: responsible for significant civilian harm, and killing humanitarian workers and 1684 01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:26,080 Speaker 1: journalists at an unprecedented rate. Now, there were some who 1685 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:31,639 Speaker 1: participated in this memo who diverged from that opinion. But Sager, 1686 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:35,320 Speaker 1: this is important for a variety of reasons, but most 1687 01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:39,439 Speaker 1: specifically because it suggests that the State Department is all 1688 01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 1: these shipments of weapons are in direct contravention of US law, 1689 01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:47,479 Speaker 1: and that Tony Blinken has on his desk information that 1690 01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:54,360 Speaker 1: indicates that he is specifically himself violating US law in 1691 01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:56,320 Speaker 1: order to continue shipping these weapons. 1692 01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 2: Day Isa, Yeah, the lazy law and the humanitarian violation 1693 01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:01,960 Speaker 2: is significant problem for them, especially as a lot of 1694 01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,439 Speaker 2: the evidence in this stuff mounts. This is particularly why 1695 01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:07,960 Speaker 2: they're working against the ICC and against a lot of 1696 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:10,120 Speaker 2: the memos and other evidence that they have on their 1697 01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:12,960 Speaker 2: own desk, because it puts them in a bind where 1698 01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,479 Speaker 2: they either have to comply with US law or don't. 1699 01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:17,800 Speaker 2: We've already had this instance where they were supposed to 1700 01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:21,200 Speaker 2: sanction that IDF battalion based upon a previous report that 1701 01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:23,479 Speaker 2: was pre October seventh and some of its conduct. They 1702 01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:25,080 Speaker 2: said they were going to do it, or they indicated 1703 01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 2: they were going to do it, but then NETANYAHUO and 1704 01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,080 Speaker 2: the Speaker freaked out and has yet to materialize. But 1705 01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:32,040 Speaker 2: you know, it's not the end of that though, because 1706 01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,920 Speaker 2: if the law and all of that exists. It's either 1707 01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,040 Speaker 2: going to leak or it's going to go towards Congress 1708 01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:39,360 Speaker 2: and people can ask questions about that. But that would 1709 01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:42,320 Speaker 2: also require Congress asking the administration why it's not doing 1710 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:43,280 Speaker 2: its job and. 1711 01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:44,799 Speaker 3: To actually do something. 1712 01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:47,839 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, some of these people who claimed 1713 01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:52,040 Speaker 1: that they know understood that Israel was blocking humanitarian aid 1714 01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 1: and was very likely in contravention of the Lahy law, 1715 01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:58,120 Speaker 1: then just turn around and still vote for the weapons. 1716 01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:03,160 Speaker 1: So it requires this memo I believe was prepared because 1717 01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:05,639 Speaker 1: Congress was pressing on exactly this issue. 1718 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:07,880 Speaker 3: That's the whole reason why this thing exists. 1719 01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:11,280 Speaker 1: But then they don't actually you act upon the information 1720 01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:15,120 Speaker 1: once it's provided. So in any case, that's what's going 1721 01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 1: on there. The US has proof that Israel is committing 1722 01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:20,479 Speaker 1: war crimes. Next time you watch one of these enraging 1723 01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,960 Speaker 1: State Department briefings where they say they're looking into it 1724 01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:24,479 Speaker 1: and they don't know and they heard about that, but 1725 01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:26,840 Speaker 1: they're going to ask Israel about or whatever, just keep 1726 01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:30,760 Speaker 1: in mind Tony Blinkn has multiple reports from inside his 1727 01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:34,120 Speaker 1: own State Department telling him, yes, they are committing war 1728 01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:37,600 Speaker 1: crimes and they are just choosing to ignore that and 1729 01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:41,120 Speaker 1: violate US law in order to continue this onslaught and 1730 01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:47,360 Speaker 1: atrocities against Palestinians. All right, there's a little flap between 1731 01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:51,960 Speaker 1: Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, who visited some of the student protesters, 1732 01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:56,160 Speaker 1: and ADL's Jonathan Greenblat that we wanted to go over 1733 01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:58,960 Speaker 1: for you. So first of all, let's take a listen 1734 01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:02,839 Speaker 1: to what congress Woman Omar had to say that caused 1735 01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:03,160 Speaker 1: this hole. 1736 01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,559 Speaker 14: Star you think this will translate to the Jewish students 1737 01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:07,720 Speaker 14: who are facing anti semitism here on canvas. 1738 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,200 Speaker 8: So I actually met a lot of Jewish students that 1739 01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:13,960 Speaker 8: are in the Incabinet, and I think it is really 1740 01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:18,120 Speaker 8: unfortunate that people don't care about the fact that. 1741 01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:21,320 Speaker 6: All Jewish kids should be kept safe and that we 1742 01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:26,519 Speaker 6: should not have to tolerate anti semitism or bigotry for 1743 01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:31,160 Speaker 6: all Jewish students, whether they are progenocide or anti genocide. 1744 01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:33,400 Speaker 3: So that is the part that's head people off. 1745 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 1: And she said, listen, all Jewish students should be safe, 1746 01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:39,880 Speaker 1: whether or not they're pro genocide. Like in her you know, 1747 01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,400 Speaker 1: she believes that as I do, what Israel's doing and 1748 01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:44,479 Speaker 1: godda strip is a genocide, and there are people who 1749 01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:46,920 Speaker 1: support that. So in her framing and mind those people 1750 01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:50,160 Speaker 1: are pro genocide, she's saying, even if they are progenocide, 1751 01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:50,840 Speaker 1: they should. 1752 01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:51,360 Speaker 3: Be so safe. 1753 01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:53,799 Speaker 1: And the people who are anti genocide, who are protesting 1754 01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 1: over here should also be safe. And I one hundred 1755 01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:58,839 Speaker 1: percent co signed those comments. 1756 01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was funny because the ADL put this out there. 1757 01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 2: Let's put this up there on the screen, it says, 1758 01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:07,679 Speaker 2: watch this clip. It features Ilhan walking through Columbia proclaiming 1759 01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:09,839 Speaker 2: that Jewish students do not have to tolerate anti semitism 1760 01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:12,880 Speaker 2: when they're progenocide or anti genocide. It is patently false 1761 01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,400 Speaker 2: and a blood libel to sugg You know where does 1762 01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:18,680 Speaker 2: this blood libel shit ever end it? Just again, these 1763 01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,720 Speaker 2: terms have lost on me that any Jewish students are 1764 01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:24,800 Speaker 2: quote progenocide. It is gas leading, gaslighting to impute that 1765 01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:27,000 Speaker 2: Jewish people are somehow at fault for being harassed in 1766 01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:30,720 Speaker 2: menace with signs and logosts literally calling for their own extermination. 1767 01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:33,240 Speaker 2: It is abhorrent that a sitting member of Congress would 1768 01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:35,280 Speaker 2: slander a group of young people in such a cold 1769 01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,040 Speaker 2: and oh, oh really, this is how people get killed. 1770 01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:39,960 Speaker 3: So you don't think young people should be slandered. 1771 01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:44,839 Speaker 2: Al's joologize, I am not holding my breath. Ilhan Omar responded, 1772 01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:47,320 Speaker 2: let's put this up there on the screen. She says, 1773 01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:49,720 Speaker 2: this is the progenocide I was talking about. Can you 1774 01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:52,599 Speaker 2: condemn this? Is like I've condemned anti Semitism and bigotry 1775 01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:55,000 Speaker 2: of all kind. Kill all Arabs. They're all Hamas, all 1776 01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:58,920 Speaker 2: grotesquely evil level gasa. So it is quite you know, 1777 01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:01,400 Speaker 2: kind of amusing now what people know. I don't use 1778 01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:03,960 Speaker 2: the term genocide, war crimes, international law because I think 1779 01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:05,599 Speaker 2: all that is fake and it's completely in the eye 1780 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,799 Speaker 2: of the beholder. But I do think it is funny 1781 01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:12,520 Speaker 2: to me that and this is I've observed this too rhetorically, 1782 01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:15,240 Speaker 2: and I saw it in your debate on Piers Morgan. 1783 01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:17,880 Speaker 2: The problem that a lot of the pro Israel people have, 1784 01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:21,000 Speaker 2: like in that instance, is they are very willing to 1785 01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:22,920 Speaker 2: be like, oh, you got to smear these young kids. 1786 01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:26,120 Speaker 2: It's not a genocide. These kids are anti Semites, you know, 1787 01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:29,040 Speaker 2: they use like catch all language and moralistic language try 1788 01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:32,320 Speaker 2: against their opponents. But in general, from what I have noticed, 1789 01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,519 Speaker 2: from Norm Finkel's to even the most extreme you know, 1790 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:38,000 Speaker 2: pro Palestinian voices, at least in the relative mainstream and discourse, 1791 01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:40,479 Speaker 2: are always willing to be like, yes, I do condemn 1792 01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:43,439 Speaker 2: October seventh, I condemn anti Semitism. And part of the 1793 01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:46,040 Speaker 2: problem is that the pro Israel side is not willing 1794 01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:50,200 Speaker 2: to give the same even rhetorical clutch, I guess to 1795 01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:53,280 Speaker 2: their opponents, and it just makes them look like either 1796 01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:56,160 Speaker 2: like double standard or sissy. Is like here, like you 1797 01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:58,760 Speaker 2: can't say that, you know, what is it from the 1798 01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:01,519 Speaker 2: river to the sea or whatever, or is genocidal and 1799 01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:05,200 Speaker 2: then turn around and then not condemn on your side 1800 01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:09,240 Speaker 2: exactly statements like kill the Arabs or level Gossa or whatever, 1801 01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:11,720 Speaker 2: because you do agree with that, and you know there's 1802 01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:15,479 Speaker 2: a certain you lose the morality whenever that is what 1803 01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:17,719 Speaker 2: you're advocating for. And I just want people to be honest. 1804 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:19,800 Speaker 2: Michael Tracy said that recently. He's like, all I want 1805 01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:22,120 Speaker 2: is people to be honest. But you can't sit there 1806 01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:24,679 Speaker 2: and be using terms like blood libel and going after 1807 01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:27,519 Speaker 2: kids and students on the one hand, and then on 1808 01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:29,720 Speaker 2: the other hand be upset when other people are going 1809 01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:30,840 Speaker 2: to do it straight back at you. 1810 01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:35,200 Speaker 1: Okay, so put in green blood statement back up guys 1811 01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:35,960 Speaker 1: on the screen. 1812 01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:36,679 Speaker 3: What was that? 1813 01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:40,559 Speaker 1: That was eighty seven or whatever block we're on seven? 1814 01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:42,160 Speaker 3: There we go? All right? 1815 01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:46,639 Speaker 1: He says it is patently false and a blood libel. Yeah, 1816 01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:51,800 Speaker 1: so suggest that any Jewish students are pro genocide? 1817 01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:53,479 Speaker 3: Oh really? Oh really? 1818 01:32:54,120 --> 01:33:00,519 Speaker 1: Because I just watched you, sir on MSNBC accuse Jewish 1819 01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:06,720 Speaker 1: Voice for Peace of being an Iranian proxy Ala Hesbola 1820 01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:10,479 Speaker 1: or Humas. And I know you for a fact believe 1821 01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:16,040 Speaker 1: that Hamas is a genocidal terrorist group. You literally just 1822 01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:22,280 Speaker 1: slandered and smeared Jewish students as being genocidal yourself. And 1823 01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:27,360 Speaker 1: now you're upset when ilhan Omar actually accurately characterizes some 1824 01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:30,040 Speaker 1: positions as pro genocide. 1825 01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:32,800 Speaker 3: So save it, save it. 1826 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:35,200 Speaker 1: And it's so true what you're saying, Zagera is like 1827 01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:38,720 Speaker 1: this is really not complicated. And this goes back to 1828 01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,400 Speaker 1: this whole one of the you know, discourse talking points 1829 01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:43,479 Speaker 1: or whatever about the student protesters right now, it's like 1830 01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:45,240 Speaker 1: they don't even know what they're tie. These kids, I 1831 01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:48,439 Speaker 1: don't even know what they're protesting. They don't understand. But 1832 01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:50,599 Speaker 1: some of these things are complic I like the history, 1833 01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:52,519 Speaker 1: if you know all the ins and outs. Yeah, that's 1834 01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:55,160 Speaker 1: it's complex, it's a lot to know, but you can 1835 01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:58,880 Speaker 1: also very simply have a moral standard of killing innocent 1836 01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:01,160 Speaker 1: civilians is wrong. It was wrong when it happened on 1837 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,240 Speaker 1: October seventh, and it's wrong when it happens when Israel's 1838 01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:08,400 Speaker 1: doing it. That isn't hard, it's not complex, and if 1839 01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:11,679 Speaker 1: you pull people, I think the overwhelming majority will agree 1840 01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:14,160 Speaker 1: with that sentiment. But you have to apply it across 1841 01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,559 Speaker 1: the board. And when we've had months and months and 1842 01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:19,360 Speaker 1: months of the slaughter only happening on one. 1843 01:34:19,240 --> 01:34:21,479 Speaker 3: Side of the equation, guess what. 1844 01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:26,599 Speaker 1: They can't acknowledge that, yes, killing innocent civilians is wrong 1845 01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:30,000 Speaker 1: because they're faced with day after day after day of 1846 01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:32,760 Speaker 1: kids and women and schools being bombed, a church is 1847 01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:35,760 Speaker 1: being bombed, in hospitals being bombed. So you have to 1848 01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:39,160 Speaker 1: just either pretend that's not happening or butt hamas it 1849 01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,880 Speaker 1: to death. And at this point it's just it's worn 1850 01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:47,160 Speaker 1: completely thin. So they can't take that clear moral position 1851 01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:50,680 Speaker 1: because their whole thing would fall apart if they did so. 1852 01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:55,439 Speaker 1: In any case, hilarious fake freak out over ilhan Omar 1853 01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:58,599 Speaker 1: saying something that is correct, and also it is very 1854 01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:00,880 Speaker 1: consistent frankly, even if it's raised in a way that 1855 01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:04,559 Speaker 1: makes people uncomfortable with American principles, which is, listen, even 1856 01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:08,160 Speaker 1: if you have speech that is so abhorrent as for 1857 01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:12,520 Speaker 1: it to be pro genocide, even those people should be protected. 1858 01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:15,400 Speaker 1: Even they should be safe, even if they are saying 1859 01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:20,120 Speaker 1: something that is, you know, advocating for a crime against humanity, 1860 01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:26,800 Speaker 1: even those individuals deserve to be safe. Now that sounds controversial, 1861 01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:30,599 Speaker 1: but it is a bedrock principle of America, something you know, 1862 01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:33,320 Speaker 1: that is incredibly dear to me and I think many 1863 01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:36,960 Speaker 1: other people in the nation. The other the last thing 1864 01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:40,280 Speaker 1: I'll say about green Blatz thing is like, you know, 1865 01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:43,720 Speaker 1: Jewish people are just like any other people, Like some 1866 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:47,040 Speaker 1: are going to have good views, bad views, be good people, 1867 01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:49,759 Speaker 1: bad people, et cetera. And the fact that they're Jewish 1868 01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:52,439 Speaker 1: doesn't take criticism like you still have to be able 1869 01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 1: to criticize people. It doesn't doesn't mean like any sort 1870 01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:59,080 Speaker 1: of criticism is off the table, if so facto because 1871 01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:03,439 Speaker 1: they're Jewish. But that's exactly what he and Adl and 1872 01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:06,320 Speaker 1: many elite politicians, Richie Torres. 1873 01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:06,960 Speaker 3: And all these other people. 1874 01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:10,040 Speaker 1: That's exactly what they want, which is in and of 1875 01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:12,840 Speaker 1: itself a form of racism, saying like no Jew can 1876 01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:15,679 Speaker 1: is able to hold that viewpoint. It's like no Jewish 1877 01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:18,080 Speaker 1: people are complex like everybody else and have a wide 1878 01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:20,000 Speaker 1: variety of opinions and are able to be anywhere on 1879 01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,759 Speaker 1: the spectrum, even places on the spectrum that I find. 1880 01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:23,200 Speaker 3: To be horrified. 1881 01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:25,360 Speaker 2: My most controversial opinion is that Jews are just like 1882 01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:27,720 Speaker 2: everybody else and should be treated as Yeah, and I 1883 01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:31,679 Speaker 2: think that about blacks, whites, whatever, Indians, any other group. 1884 01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:34,280 Speaker 2: I don't think you should be treated specially. I guess 1885 01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:37,840 Speaker 2: that's very controversial and equal application of the law, something 1886 01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:40,439 Speaker 2: that we allegedly were founded on and fought a civil 1887 01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:40,800 Speaker 2: war for. 1888 01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:45,080 Speaker 1: But I think sectarianism is very destructive and framing this 1889 01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:49,080 Speaker 1: as like a religious conflict is very dangerous and destructive, 1890 01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:53,200 Speaker 1: and it's not accurate when you have Jewish voices for peace, 1891 01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:56,160 Speaker 1: when you have so many protests movements organized by Jews 1892 01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:59,639 Speaker 1: who are anti Zionist Jews, it's. 1893 01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:01,160 Speaker 3: It's a political conflict. 1894 01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:05,080 Speaker 1: It's a conflict at its core over land and morality 1895 01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:08,280 Speaker 1: and protection of civilians. That's what the conflict is about. 1896 01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:11,439 Speaker 1: And the minute that you make this into this like 1897 01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:16,880 Speaker 1: clash of civilization's religious conflict. That's part of why this 1898 01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:21,360 Speaker 1: has gotten so has drawn out for so many decades, 1899 01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:24,760 Speaker 1: because that actually confuses the situation and makes it much 1900 01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:25,880 Speaker 1: more difficult to resolve. 1901 01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:30,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, absolutely, all right, move on. Fun story, last story. 1902 01:37:30,040 --> 01:37:32,840 Speaker 2: This has had this in the show. It's just yeah, 1903 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:36,840 Speaker 2: I mean fun for some psychotic some others might say, 1904 01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:38,360 Speaker 2: let's go and put this up there on the screen. 1905 01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:41,719 Speaker 2: South Dakota Governor Kirsty no has written a new book 1906 01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:47,440 Speaker 2: and brags about killing her fourteen month old dog. And 1907 01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:50,320 Speaker 2: I'm not exaggerating here at all. I'm going to read 1908 01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:53,560 Speaker 2: you directly from what she said. She said Cricket was 1909 01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 2: a wire hair pointer about fourteen months old. It was 1910 01:37:56,960 --> 01:38:00,200 Speaker 2: a female dog that quote had an aggressive personality who 1911 01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:03,080 Speaker 2: she was trying to train as a hunting dog. She 1912 01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:06,800 Speaker 2: took Cricket on a pheasant hunt with older dogs. Noam 1913 01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:09,360 Speaker 2: says she had hoped to come calm the young dog 1914 01:38:09,479 --> 01:38:13,200 Speaker 2: down and teach her how to behave Unfortunately, Cricket ruined 1915 01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:15,679 Speaker 2: the hunt, going out of her mind with excitement, chasing 1916 01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:17,599 Speaker 2: all those birds and having the time of her life 1917 01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:21,559 Speaker 2: aka What Dogs Do. Nom then describes calling Cricket using 1918 01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:24,479 Speaker 2: an electric callar to attempt to bring her under control. 1919 01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:26,960 Speaker 2: She says that nothing worked. On the way home after 1920 01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:29,280 Speaker 2: the hunt, she stopped to talk to a local family. 1921 01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:32,599 Speaker 2: The dog escaped and attacked the family's chickens. She said 1922 01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:37,160 Speaker 2: she was simply untrainable, behavior like a trained assassin. When 1923 01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:40,639 Speaker 2: Noam finally grabbed Cricket, she says, the dog whipped around 1924 01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,559 Speaker 2: to bite me after she was after she was grabbed. 1925 01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:45,639 Speaker 2: Through it all, she says, Cricket was just the picture 1926 01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:49,559 Speaker 2: of pure joy. She then writes, I hated that dog, 1927 01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:53,320 Speaker 2: dangerous to anyone she came into contact with, worse than 1928 01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:57,080 Speaker 2: worse than useless as a hunting dog. At that moment, 1929 01:38:57,320 --> 01:38:59,760 Speaker 2: I realized I had to put her down. It was 1930 01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:02,439 Speaker 2: not a pleasant job, but it had to be done. 1931 01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:05,599 Speaker 2: And after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job 1932 01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,720 Speaker 2: needed to be done. And she talks about killing a 1933 01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:12,880 Speaker 2: nasty male goat that was also on their property. So 1934 01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:17,160 Speaker 2: basically what she describes here is murdering a fourteen month 1935 01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:20,160 Speaker 2: old dog that was acting like a dog. Now I've 1936 01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:22,800 Speaker 2: seen some justification for this, like whoa, you know? What 1937 01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:25,599 Speaker 2: do you look? The dogs are tools like everything else. Yeah, 1938 01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:29,160 Speaker 2: maybe in eighteen twenty five. You know today there are 1939 01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:32,960 Speaker 2: actually a ton of charities that are out there, animal rescues, etc. 1940 01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:37,160 Speaker 2: That specifically take hunting dogs that didn't pass training. There's 1941 01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:39,760 Speaker 2: tons of I'm sure they exist in South Dakota too. 1942 01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:42,160 Speaker 2: And she's trying to play this off as some like 1943 01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:45,760 Speaker 2: hard scrabble living on the land thing. Again, let me 1944 01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:48,639 Speaker 2: just repeat, we are not on the frontier times. There 1945 01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:52,599 Speaker 2: is no reason to conduct yourself this way. It's completely psychotic, 1946 01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:54,920 Speaker 2: especially when you're bragging about it and trying to make 1947 01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,400 Speaker 2: yourself appear tough. This is what she This is her 1948 01:39:57,400 --> 01:40:01,280 Speaker 2: defense after this all came out. We love animals, been 1949 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:05,000 Speaker 2: tough decisions like this happened all the time on a farm. Sadly, 1950 01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:06,920 Speaker 2: we had to put down three horses a few weeks 1951 01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:09,479 Speaker 2: ago that had been in our family for twenty five years. 1952 01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:12,960 Speaker 2: If you want more real, honest and politically incorrect stories 1953 01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:16,479 Speaker 2: that'll have the media gasping, pre order no back. She's 1954 01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:19,280 Speaker 2: fundraising off this now, trying to sell more of her 1955 01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:23,600 Speaker 2: crappy copies of her book. Bragging about killing a fourteen 1956 01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:26,920 Speaker 2: month old dog. I mean, it's totally psychotic. It's not 1957 01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:27,960 Speaker 2: like the dog was even sick. 1958 01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:31,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, at fourteen months old, this was puppies. This is 1959 01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:32,599 Speaker 3: still a puppy. 1960 01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:36,360 Speaker 1: This is still this dog is still developing, and there 1961 01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:39,240 Speaker 1: are so many other options available to you than just 1962 01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:42,080 Speaker 1: like she dragged it into some gravel pin shot it 1963 01:40:42,120 --> 01:40:45,240 Speaker 1: in the head. I was bothered by the goat too. 1964 01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,400 Speaker 1: I actually grew up with We had pet goat. 1965 01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:50,160 Speaker 2: One of my friends has a nasty goat. They don't 1966 01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:50,960 Speaker 2: shoot it of. 1967 01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:54,200 Speaker 1: One of our goats was very sweet, yeah, and the 1968 01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:57,519 Speaker 1: other one was a little scary. Angela was a little 1969 01:40:57,560 --> 01:41:01,639 Speaker 1: bit scary. Okay, we didn't in the head like it 1970 01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:05,760 Speaker 1: was fine. You just knew how to deal with goat. Yeah, 1971 01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:11,599 Speaker 1: And goats are highly intelligent and social. The little the 1972 01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:14,719 Speaker 1: other one who was named after me, she was named Chrissy. 1973 01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:16,840 Speaker 1: She's always try to come in the house like she 1974 01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,759 Speaker 1: was a dog. She was like it had like commands. 1975 01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:23,040 Speaker 1: She understood what these are very intelligent animals and for 1976 01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:25,400 Speaker 1: you to just like, you know, crully, think this is 1977 01:41:25,439 --> 01:41:28,200 Speaker 1: your only option and then the sickness of thinking this 1978 01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:29,880 Speaker 1: is going to like she wrote. 1979 01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:30,439 Speaker 3: This a political book. 1980 01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:33,800 Speaker 1: This is part of her bid to become Trump's VP 1981 01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:38,639 Speaker 1: pick that you think this is gonna make people think 1982 01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:41,960 Speaker 1: better of you, Like, how little do you think of 1983 01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:45,519 Speaker 1: Republican voters or the American people in general that you 1984 01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:48,519 Speaker 1: think murdering a puppy is gonna make them feel. Oh, 1985 01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:50,880 Speaker 1: she's tough and she makes the tough choices, et cetera. 1986 01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:54,439 Speaker 1: I have seen some people defending her, which is gross. 1987 01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:57,760 Speaker 1: But I have also seen a lot of bipartisan revulsion, 1988 01:41:57,960 --> 01:41:59,720 Speaker 1: which is understandable. 1989 01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:02,639 Speaker 2: Majority of people are repulsed by yes, and that's why 1990 01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:04,200 Speaker 2: she's had to clean it up. Since let's put this 1991 01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:07,559 Speaker 2: up there. Her latest statement is, and understand why people 1992 01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:09,559 Speaker 2: are upset about a twenty year old story of cricket, 1993 01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:11,759 Speaker 2: which you put in your book. By the way, nobody 1994 01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:14,440 Speaker 2: else brought this up. The book is filled with honest 1995 01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:17,760 Speaker 2: stories of my life, good and bad days, challenging, painful decisions, 1996 01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:20,599 Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah. The fact is South Dakota 1997 01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:23,880 Speaker 2: law states that dogs who attack and kill livestock can 1998 01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:27,040 Speaker 2: be put down. Given that cricket had shown aggressive behavior 1999 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:30,160 Speaker 2: toward people by biting them, I decided what I did. Now, 2000 01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:32,320 Speaker 2: keep in mind, we're only taking this lady's word for it. 2001 01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:34,200 Speaker 2: We have no idea if any of this even happened. 2002 01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:36,920 Speaker 2: What she's talking about is if somebody's dog goes and 2003 01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:40,280 Speaker 2: kills somebody else's chickens or property, and then even then 2004 01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:43,800 Speaker 2: there's a whole animal process that goes through whenever you 2005 01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:45,240 Speaker 2: decide to put a dog down. It's one of the 2006 01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:48,519 Speaker 2: most extraordinary things you could do whenever it comes to 2007 01:42:48,760 --> 01:42:51,400 Speaker 2: for animals, like getting the state to order that a 2008 01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:53,719 Speaker 2: dog be put down after a variety of incidents. Various 2009 01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:56,040 Speaker 2: states have different laws, but she says, whether running the 2010 01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:58,439 Speaker 2: ranch or in politics, I have never passed on my 2011 01:42:58,479 --> 01:43:01,080 Speaker 2: responsibilities to anyone else to hand, even if it's hard 2012 01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:03,000 Speaker 2: and painful, I follow the law. I was being a 2013 01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:07,480 Speaker 2: responsible parent, dog owner, and neighbor. So I'll just reiterate 2014 01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:11,040 Speaker 2: the original justification is very clear. She's like, I hated 2015 01:43:11,040 --> 01:43:13,080 Speaker 2: the dog and it didn't it didn't do what I 2016 01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:16,120 Speaker 2: wanted it to do. And I know multiple people actually 2017 01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:19,400 Speaker 2: who have rescued hunting dogs, people dogs who didn't pass 2018 01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:21,200 Speaker 2: hunting training or whatever, which I understand, you know, not 2019 01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:24,000 Speaker 2: every dog or whatever is cut out for it, but 2020 01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:25,920 Speaker 2: you know, we're not living on the frontier where you 2021 01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:29,200 Speaker 2: got to kill him for literally no reason. And she's 2022 01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:32,200 Speaker 2: bragging about it as if it somehow makes her, you know, 2023 01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:34,519 Speaker 2: big and strong. You know, putting down a horse that's 2024 01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:38,200 Speaker 2: been horrifically injured, that's one thing that's sad. And you know, 2025 01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:41,519 Speaker 2: even then, you know there's conversations or whatever, but here 2026 01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:45,439 Speaker 2: there's not. There's no justification on it whatsoever. It's just 2027 01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:48,920 Speaker 2: I murdered this dog, and that makes me big and strong, 2028 01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:50,479 Speaker 2: and that's why you should buy my book and give 2029 01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:51,200 Speaker 2: me twenty dollars. 2030 01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:51,800 Speaker 3: Believe. 2031 01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:52,040 Speaker 15: Yeah. 2032 01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:55,880 Speaker 1: Crazy, And apparently she's kind of fallen in the Trump 2033 01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:58,320 Speaker 1: VP yeah esteem. 2034 01:43:58,080 --> 01:43:59,920 Speaker 3: Anyway, we'll see. 2035 01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:04,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I had seen reporting previously that any governor 2036 01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:07,680 Speaker 1: of a state that has like extreme abortion laws like 2037 01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:10,640 Speaker 1: South Dakota does, heartbeat laws like South Dakota does. I 2038 01:44:10,640 --> 01:44:14,400 Speaker 1: didn't think about that had fallen in Trump's consideration, so 2039 01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:17,200 Speaker 1: she may have been off the table already. Also, Trump 2040 01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:18,960 Speaker 1: apparently hates dogs, so I don't know if he would 2041 01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:22,360 Speaker 1: have a problem with the story in particular. But the 2042 01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:25,000 Speaker 1: latest is that he's considering Doug Bergram. 2043 01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:27,679 Speaker 2: Wow, that's something. 2044 01:44:27,720 --> 01:44:29,840 Speaker 1: I guess that'd be a dig because he was North Dakota, right, 2045 01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:30,880 Speaker 1: he was South Dakota. 2046 01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:33,000 Speaker 2: There was like a rivalry there. You know Doug would 2047 01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:34,960 Speaker 2: be bad choice just purely for money purposes. He's a 2048 01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:37,519 Speaker 2: billionaire somebody who could fund his campaign. Trump's got money 2049 01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:39,559 Speaker 2: issues first campaign, doesn't want to spend any of his own. 2050 01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:42,400 Speaker 3: He's certainly not going to like mean ount charisma. 2051 01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:44,960 Speaker 2: I was going to say, there won't be any like that. 2052 01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:46,400 Speaker 2: I feel like he'd be like Mike Pants and just 2053 01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:48,280 Speaker 2: be like, all right, whatever you know, do whatever you want. 2054 01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:51,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't really buy it, though, I think I 2055 01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:53,880 Speaker 1: guess at this point, I'm thinking maybe Tim Scott might 2056 01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:54,759 Speaker 1: be the Yeah. 2057 01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:56,439 Speaker 2: I've said this before. I think all three of these 2058 01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:58,280 Speaker 2: people have an equal chance. I think if it was 2059 01:44:58,280 --> 01:44:59,600 Speaker 2: going to be a woman, I still think it's going 2060 01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:02,480 Speaker 2: to be because at least he has got no abortion baggage. 2061 01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:05,679 Speaker 2: She's got this whole Harvard thing going for her right now, 2062 01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:07,479 Speaker 2: you know, because she's the one who started that whole 2063 01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:10,439 Speaker 2: like moral panic about the Ivy League university. 2064 01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:10,720 Speaker 14: Yeah. 2065 01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:12,760 Speaker 2: Trump loves her because she served as one of his 2066 01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:15,240 Speaker 2: spokespeople for his defense and the impeachment. She knows she's 2067 01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:18,080 Speaker 2: very combative on social media and it's total loyal and 2068 01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:20,360 Speaker 2: she's socially liberal. Like you know, in the past, you've 2069 01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:22,800 Speaker 2: been attacked by the right wing for being more socially liberal, 2070 01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:25,439 Speaker 2: like she voted for the Equality Act in like twenty nineteen. 2071 01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:28,480 Speaker 2: So this is somebody who's very much more like trumpist. 2072 01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:30,519 Speaker 2: That's if he wants a woman, if he wants a 2073 01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:34,240 Speaker 2: black person just for media purposes, affirmative action candidate, it 2074 01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:37,200 Speaker 2: would be Tim Scott. If he's feeling really safe and 2075 01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:39,360 Speaker 2: he wants an ideological ally, I think he's gonna pick 2076 01:45:39,400 --> 01:45:41,680 Speaker 2: Jade Vans. All three of those things all depend on 2077 01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:43,920 Speaker 2: the polling whenever it comes right up to the convention. 2078 01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:46,519 Speaker 2: I think it's basically an equal shot for all three 2079 01:45:46,520 --> 01:45:51,120 Speaker 2: of those. But we'll see, Crystal, what do you take 2080 01:45:51,120 --> 01:45:51,920 Speaker 2: a look at well. 2081 01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:56,559 Speaker 1: As powerful politicians, elite media denizens, and Hollywood celebrities all 2082 01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:59,120 Speaker 1: gathered in DC this past weekend for the annual White 2083 01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:03,080 Speaker 1: House Correspondence Day, they're met with exactly the welcome that 2084 01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:07,920 Speaker 1: they deserved. Free Palestine protesters confronted these elites with their 2085 01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:12,880 Speaker 1: own hypocrisy and complicity and sanctioning horrifying atrocities against Palestinian civilians, 2086 01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:16,479 Speaker 1: chanting shame on you at these people who are at 2087 01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:19,160 Speaker 1: worst actively funding and supporting a genocide, and at the 2088 01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:23,280 Speaker 1: very least comfortable with celebrating those who are backing a genocide. 2089 01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:27,360 Speaker 1: At one point, a giant Palestinian flag was actually unfurled 2090 01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:29,560 Speaker 1: from a window of the venue itself, the d C 2091 01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:32,000 Speaker 1: Hilton Hotel that has played host to this event for 2092 01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:36,120 Speaker 1: many years. Protesters even staged a die in to honor 2093 01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:39,640 Speaker 1: the one hundred plus journalists who have been killed by 2094 01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:43,599 Speaker 1: the IDF in Gaza, was complete with blood spattered press 2095 01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:47,040 Speaker 1: vest visual reminder that while these so called journalists were 2096 01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:50,400 Speaker 1: putting on ball gowns in their luxury hotel suites, Palestinian 2097 01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:55,400 Speaker 1: journalists we're facing starvation, arrest, torture, and execution for the 2098 01:46:55,439 --> 01:46:58,599 Speaker 1: crime of doing their job. The message of these target 2099 01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:01,439 Speaker 1: protests was right on tip target. Of all the in 2100 01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:04,800 Speaker 1: group spectacles in DC, none has become more grotesque or 2101 01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:08,679 Speaker 1: more emblematic of the utter bipartisan immorality of American elites 2102 01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:12,280 Speaker 1: than the White House correspondence dinner. The idealized notion of 2103 01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:14,519 Speaker 1: this event is that for one evening, the press and 2104 01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:18,040 Speaker 1: the politicians they put aside the combative relationship meant to 2105 01:47:18,080 --> 01:47:21,000 Speaker 1: typify interactions between the powerful and the journalists who hold 2106 01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:25,200 Speaker 1: them to account, and two together recommit the bedrock importance 2107 01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:28,040 Speaker 1: of the First Amendment in a fierce independent press by 2108 01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:31,920 Speaker 1: taking comedic jabs at one another. Given the partisan toothlessness 2109 01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:35,360 Speaker 1: though of most of the press, and the raging hypocrisy 2110 01:47:35,479 --> 01:47:39,320 Speaker 1: of everyone involved. In reality, the White House Correspondents Dinner 2111 01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:43,720 Speaker 1: is just a showcase of elite coziness, disconnect, and self congratulation. Now, 2112 01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:46,920 Speaker 1: this year's circus, though of privilege, reached a new low, 2113 01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:50,360 Speaker 1: occurring as it did, amidst the Washington improved genocide and Gazo, 2114 01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:52,920 Speaker 1: which has the distinction of being the deadliest and most 2115 01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:57,559 Speaker 1: dangerous conflict for journalists ever in history. In fact, it 2116 01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:01,320 Speaker 1: appears that on the very day of these festivities, two 2117 01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:04,800 Speaker 1: more Palestinian journalists were killed by the IDF. This would 2118 01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:07,519 Speaker 1: be in addition to the one hundred and forty two 2119 01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:10,639 Speaker 1: members of the press who had already been killed by 2120 01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:15,120 Speaker 1: the IDF and at least forty who had been arrested. Meanwhile, 2121 01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:19,080 Speaker 1: our great ally, the supposed only democracy in the Middle East, 2122 01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:22,320 Speaker 1: is promising to shut down media outlets like Al Jazeera 2123 01:48:22,560 --> 01:48:26,000 Speaker 1: for their coverage of Gaza and largely blocks the Western 2124 01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:29,400 Speaker 1: press from even covering this conflict from the ground at all, 2125 01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:32,080 Speaker 1: and Of course, as these politicians were patting themselves on 2126 01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:34,320 Speaker 1: the back for their brave commitment to the First Amendment, 2127 01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:38,799 Speaker 1: they were busy cheering on an authoritarian crackdown on college students. 2128 01:48:39,400 --> 01:48:43,080 Speaker 1: Hundreds more students and some faculty were arrested over the weekend. 2129 01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:46,920 Speaker 1: At one event, officers assaulted seventy three year old Green 2130 01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:50,280 Speaker 1: Party candidate Jill Stein with a bicycle for the crime 2131 01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:53,680 Speaker 1: of protesting against US government support for a foreign government's 2132 01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:57,400 Speaker 1: atrocity filled war. While the politicians sent in the cops, 2133 01:48:57,439 --> 01:49:00,559 Speaker 1: their media allies ran cover by smearing the protesters as 2134 01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:04,880 Speaker 1: violent anti Semitic terrorists, platforming the ADLs Jonathan green Blatt 2135 01:49:04,880 --> 01:49:07,840 Speaker 1: to call them Iranian proxies. And by the way, Julian, 2136 01:49:07,880 --> 01:49:10,600 Speaker 1: no Sange, He's still in prison now. None of this 2137 01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:14,040 Speaker 1: stopped attendees from their typical smug, self satisfied rituals and 2138 01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:17,320 Speaker 1: empty peons to freedom of speech principles that they clearly 2139 01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:18,680 Speaker 1: do not actually believe in. 2140 01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:20,959 Speaker 3: You know, I had actually held. 2141 01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:24,160 Speaker 1: Out some hope that maybe some brave soul would offer 2142 01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:26,840 Speaker 1: at least an echo of two thousand and six. Even 2143 01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:29,840 Speaker 1: Colbert his set at that White House Correspondence dinner during 2144 01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:31,160 Speaker 1: the height of the Iraq War, and. 2145 01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:31,760 Speaker 3: To George W. 2146 01:49:31,880 --> 01:49:35,760 Speaker 1: Bush's face, it was actually genuinely courageous, the comedian in 2147 01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:38,879 Speaker 1: the room, exposing the war hungry journalists and the Yokan 2148 01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:41,720 Speaker 1: in chief himself. I should have known better, though not 2149 01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:43,920 Speaker 1: that I thought Colin Yost had that in him, but 2150 01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:46,439 Speaker 1: I thought maybe someone would say something uncomfortable for the 2151 01:49:46,439 --> 01:49:51,040 Speaker 1: bipartisan elites in the hotel ballroom. Not even close. Instead, 2152 01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:54,040 Speaker 1: the pageantry seemed almost an intentional middle finger to the 2153 01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:56,639 Speaker 1: protesters in the streets who were demanding these pro war 2154 01:49:56,640 --> 01:50:00,040 Speaker 1: elites feel at least a little bit of shame. It 2155 01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,320 Speaker 1: was zero shame to be found in that room. Here 2156 01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:05,559 Speaker 1: is Colin Yost closing out the night, slabbering all over 2157 01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:09,599 Speaker 1: Joe Biden for his supposed decency and the decency by 2158 01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:13,080 Speaker 1: extension of the entire establishment press corps. If you can 2159 01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:14,479 Speaker 1: stomach it, take a listen. 2160 01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:19,280 Speaker 4: My grandpa voted for decency, and decency is why we're 2161 01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:23,000 Speaker 4: all here tonight. Decency is how we're able to be 2162 01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:35,719 Speaker 4: here tonight. Decency is how we're able to make jokes 2163 01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:37,559 Speaker 4: about each other and one of us doesn't go to 2164 01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:48,400 Speaker 4: prison after we go to the Newsmax after party. And 2165 01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:51,360 Speaker 4: when you look at the levels of freedom throughout history 2166 01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:54,759 Speaker 4: and even around the world today, this is the exception. 2167 01:50:55,479 --> 01:50:59,479 Speaker 4: This freedom is incredibly rare, and the journalists in this 2168 01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:02,880 Speaker 4: room help protect that freedom, and we cannot ever take 2169 01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:14,040 Speaker 4: that for granted. So, mister President, I thank you for 2170 01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:16,880 Speaker 4: your decency on behalf of my grandfather, and I thank 2171 01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:21,719 Speaker 4: all of you, almost all of you, for your decency 2172 01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:26,080 Speaker 4: as well. I am very honored and grateful that you 2173 01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:27,200 Speaker 4: invited me here tonight. 2174 01:51:27,400 --> 01:51:28,240 Speaker 2: Thank you, and good night. 2175 01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:34,479 Speaker 1: Your decency. It literally nauseates me to hear these words 2176 01:51:34,479 --> 01:51:35,160 Speaker 1: at this point. 2177 01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:36,400 Speaker 3: But they are actually just too perfect. 2178 01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:38,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has helped to murder tens of thousands of 2179 01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:41,840 Speaker 1: kids in the Gaza Strip. Hundreds of thousands more are 2180 01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:45,639 Speaker 1: starving as we speak. A million have been displaced, how 2181 01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:48,439 Speaker 1: many orphaned, how many will spend their lives disabled by 2182 01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:52,320 Speaker 1: amputations and severe trauma. And you have the gall to 2183 01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:56,240 Speaker 1: call this man decent? Why because so pat Mitch McConnell 2184 01:51:56,280 --> 01:51:58,040 Speaker 1: and Mike Johnson on the back as they fund their 2185 01:51:58,080 --> 01:51:59,000 Speaker 1: genocide together. 2186 01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:02,040 Speaker 3: It is so twisted, proving. 2187 01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:06,120 Speaker 1: Once again the reigning ideology in Washington is decorum, delusion 2188 01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:09,960 Speaker 1: and sociopathy. While Palestinian journalists were being killed, they took 2189 01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:11,559 Speaker 1: time out of the evening to honor one of the 2190 01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:15,000 Speaker 1: chief White House stenographers of this war, Israeli journalist Baroque Revied, 2191 01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:18,519 Speaker 1: writes for Axios. He's contributor to CNN. The former IDF 2192 01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:21,519 Speaker 1: soldier turned journalist has been the foremost recipient of White 2193 01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:24,120 Speaker 1: House leaks about how upset Biden is with net Yahoo. 2194 01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:26,599 Speaker 3: He's upset, He's really upset, he is really really upset. 2195 01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:30,040 Speaker 1: Failed attempt to gaslight Americans into thinking Biden gives a 2196 01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:33,800 Speaker 1: shit about Palestinian slaughter while not moving American policy a single. 2197 01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:35,040 Speaker 3: Iota of Revied. 2198 01:52:35,080 --> 01:52:38,320 Speaker 1: The White House Correspondence Association wrote, quote Barock Revie's reporting 2199 01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:41,040 Speaker 1: and displayed deep, almost intimate levels of sourcing in the 2200 01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:45,080 Speaker 1: US and abroad. Intimate levels of sourcing. Indeed, even the 2201 01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:49,880 Speaker 1: single mention of Gaza came in typical, sanitized, accountability free language. 2202 01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:53,760 Speaker 1: NBC's Kelly O'Donnell said, quote, since October, about one hundred 2203 01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:56,719 Speaker 1: journalists have been killed, most of those deaths in Gaza, 2204 01:52:56,720 --> 01:52:58,600 Speaker 1: according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. 2205 01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:00,200 Speaker 3: Really who killed them? 2206 01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:02,519 Speaker 1: Kelly, how many of the people in the room have 2207 01:53:02,640 --> 01:53:06,880 Speaker 1: ever mentioned these press murders a single time. As for 2208 01:53:06,920 --> 01:53:10,800 Speaker 1: Biden himself, these dozens of murdered Gaza journalists, they didn't 2209 01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:13,320 Speaker 1: come up even once. But he did raise a toast 2210 01:53:13,320 --> 01:53:15,920 Speaker 1: to his supposed commitment to democracy. 2211 01:53:16,240 --> 01:53:19,879 Speaker 14: Move past the horse race numbers and the gotcha moments 2212 01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:24,320 Speaker 14: and the distractions, the side shows that have come to dominate, 2213 01:53:24,439 --> 01:53:28,800 Speaker 14: to sensualize our sensationalize our politics, and focus on what's 2214 01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:30,559 Speaker 14: actually a stake. And I think in your hearts you 2215 01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:33,719 Speaker 14: know it. It was at State the stakes couldn't be higher. 2216 01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:37,479 Speaker 14: Every single one of us says rose to play a 2217 01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:41,800 Speaker 14: serious role to play making your democracy endures, American democracy. 2218 01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:44,759 Speaker 14: I have more of my role, but all due respect, 2219 01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:49,800 Speaker 14: so do you. In the age of disinformation, credible information 2220 01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:53,519 Speaker 14: that people can trust is more important than ever. And 2221 01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:55,320 Speaker 14: that makes you, and I mean it's from the bottom 2222 01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:58,320 Speaker 14: of heart, makes you more important than ever. So tonight 2223 01:53:59,080 --> 01:54:05,400 Speaker 14: I'd like to make it to to a free press, 2224 01:54:06,479 --> 01:54:09,600 Speaker 14: to an informed citizen room, to an American where a 2225 01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:15,640 Speaker 14: freedom and democracy endure. God bless America. 2226 01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:19,000 Speaker 1: You know, Joe, kind of hard to find incredible on 2227 01:54:19,040 --> 01:54:22,000 Speaker 1: this whole democracy thing. When you rig the primary so 2228 01:54:22,040 --> 01:54:25,960 Speaker 1: you had no opponent, when you're putting out statements smearing 2229 01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:29,320 Speaker 1: those who protest against your policies as racist, justifying a 2230 01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:34,320 Speaker 1: brutal police crackdown when a lobby representing foreign government interests 2231 01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:38,200 Speaker 1: has vastly more influence than your average American citizen. So 2232 01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:42,280 Speaker 1: spare me your warnings about how democracy is on the ballot. 2233 01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:43,320 Speaker 3: Now to the. 2234 01:54:43,240 --> 01:54:46,560 Speaker 1: Protesters, God bless you.
