Annie, what's your favorite surah in the Quran. How do you feel about the girls of Afghanistan who can't go to school past 6th grade. How do you feel about the over million Muslims absorbed into Germany fleeing Syria?
@@jacovawernett3077I am not Muslim, I am an atheist and have been my entire life. Islam, like all religions, has “teachings” and “rules” that I find morally objectionable and some that I consider incompatible with liberal democracy, but my favorite Surah is ar-Rum 30:22, “And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. Surely in this are signs for those of sound knowledge.” The Quran is a holy book, like all holy books it has some useful knowledge, some nice ideas, and some horrible ones. My heart hurts for the girls in Afghanistan who are treated like second class citizens by the theocratic fundamentalists and thugs that run their country. My heart also hurts for the women and children in Gaza currently starving to death because messianic, fascistic Jewish supremacists in Israel are refusing to allow enough humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. I do not believe that you care about these things because of the cynical and ugly nature of your comment, but do not be deceived into thinking that nobody else cares just because you can’t find it in your heart to empathize with the suffering of a population facing collective punishment and starvation.
@ jacovawernett3077 two things can be true at the same time. Even three. Even four. It doesn’t make any of them justified. Children are starving to death.
@meganm1074 Yes, there are true things. I will give testimony again. 11.17.2015 Eve Beach Waikiki, early evening. I sat under the stars alone. God asked me, "What side of the blade are you on?" I answered, The side of the righteous my words are my sword. He showed me my ascension to Heaven. He said, "Make Israel one." You are anchor. ( to make Israel one means to bring peace and reconciliation between Jew, Christian, Muslim, cousins by Abraham) A muslim brother answered, Jews and Christians will be humiliated by God. I answered, No. We are all God's children. No one sticks a metaphorical rock in God's throat. The Prophet Muhammed knew this. Sometimes, it feels like 500,000 Gazans are holding the world hostage. The earth will quake. And it did. I am a mother with a 25 year old son. Additionally, I am a Lou Gehrigs widow from Christmas Eve 2005. I know pathos. How are you doing talking Jihadis and Neo Nazis off the ledge of violence. No one wants to see children suffer. Now, ask yourself why the conflict is happening. When Hamas and parties say, "Death to Jews. Death to Israel, they mean it. It is not historical secret that Israel is the Jewish homeland. So many pray to God, beg God, want signs from God. Every Muslim knows I can not change the words that God spoke from above and at least respect me for it. The fact is that war hurts everyone. For a long time, the broader Muslim world has used the Palestinians as pawns. Here's another fact. Right after Hamas attacked Israel and started the war I was praying in a park in Hebrew. 2 large young Muslim men thru trash on me and screamed Jews don't belong in Jerusalem. The next day, a large Christian family heard me praying in Hebrew. The middle-aged mother took pepper spray put, pretended she was going to pepper spray me and yelled at me, the Jews killed Jesus. There are about 15 million Jews left in the world. How many are acceptable to you. How many of their children matter. I have both Jews and Christians in my family. By the 2nd surah, we are all to become Muslim or else. According to Muslim clerics, Abraham was preaching Islam. ergo Moses was Islam. Jesus was Islam. Everyone is Islam and must practice Islam. God wrote more than one book and reaches people in different ways. In my case He spoke 50 sentences to me from above ( directionally) over the course of 4 years. Since His first 9 sentences to me 8.4.2015, I have told and timestamped many prescient visions that came true. God's last sentence to me after many months was 4 years ago. He said one sentence. " You are Princess Messenger of God " In Aramaic, it's Amira Malaka Elah. Elah in Arabic means Allah. I don't get the option of unhearing God's words or unseeing the prescient things. Fortunately, I'm a polymath and have read a lot in my life. The Prophet Muhammed could not read or write. He was gifted in other ways. Many people have different gifts. P.S. As a child of God my entire life I have heard death to Jèws my entire life. I have never heard it about any other group. The irony, God never told me my religion. Namaste. The night of 8.4.2015 towards 11pm, I heard Tibetan music from the heavens that I knew no one else could hear. 8.4.2020 I cried when the Beirut Port blew up because I had been seeing it presciently in a vision behind my eyes. Here's another dispatch from the mystical. Since 2017, I wrote that the real birthday of Jesus of Nazareth was 9.2. September 2. For months in 2020, I saw a burning scuba boat off Santa Barbara on that date. When that date arrived, The Conception run by Truth Aquatics burned off Santa Barbara and killed 33 people. I cried for them and their families. There was nothing I could do. My Facebook Messenger is Jacova Adonistan. For my love of Adonai and tribes. Fortunately, I was not raised very religious nor put to edicts by force.
I was SHOCKED by that statement of condos in the Gaza by deporting Palestinians to the desert. There is not a shred of empathy in that man! An ideal husband for Queen Bitch Ivanka!
This is NOT just a Netanyahu problem…even before oct. 7th Palestinians were dehumanized and the society had no problem living in apartheid state. “the elephant in the room” letter actually tried to address that during the massive judicial protest…
Define Israel. The geographical location, the current state, or the idea of Israel. Israel, the current state, is that full of right wing fanatics atm that it DOES resemble how a germany became what it did during the 1930's. To right wing Israelis, they see themselves as normal and their behaviour as acceptable and that everyone not sharing their view are the problem. THAT is the problem with the Israeli state currently. The government accurately represents the MAJORITY of Israelis. This is taking into account the roughly 20% of Arab Israelis who disagree with the current government.
I am Jewish and agree with Trump. Jews who vote Blue aren't protecting Jewish students, Israel, and voting for the party that will drag America into the gutter.
@@evanroberts2771 how long you’ve been living in Israel? You are very knowledgeable about Israeli politics and even more knowledgeable about Israeli people!
@@user36112 The Democrats love Bush now along with Cheney. They even love McCain and Romney now even though they didn't vote for them. Instead, they saddled us with Obama!
“Non US persons don’t have 4th amendment rights, so we feel it’s okay to collect all their information” is not the persuasive argument I would have lead with.
"You are foreign, therefore we may kidnap, torture and murder you" - The US security services betrayed the truth of how all these Constitutional principles are meaningless. They didn't put on trial anyone involved in Bush's war crimes. They aren't party to international agreements on war crimes because they don't really have ANY principles. They still try to lecture the world on Human Rights but everyone knows they are liars.
If Israel would just give equal citizenship with the Palestinians and form a state with equal rights for all, you would see a lot less conflation. Forming your country around a religion tends to have the effect you hate.
As an Indian from India, I will share this to English speaking people how ignorant this channel is about Modi, they are literally praising the guy who is Trump's best friend and has taught Trump how to rule like him and become a dictator himself like how Modi is in India. Modi and his party have always been supporters of Nazism and follow Hindu nationalism like Nazi nationalism in Germany back in time. Please I urge to the viewers to ask this channel to talk about India only after total research. This hurts to see how they arenonly talking about election system which is totally rigged as Modi planted his own hench men to preside over the commission just so that Modi wins everytime, just like Putin and Xinping and Netanyahu. Half azz knowledge is dangerous to the people who watch this channel 🙏
Not enough people speaking up against modi, our media barely covers the resistance/protests against him, I think I mostly hear about them because I have a farming background (and see farm news). Also, India isn't a US ally and hasn't been in since they threw off the British yoke last I checked, I was very briefly confused as to why the US was suddenly really hot for India, then I realized the issue was the modi is a fascist, and if there is one thing the US establishment loves, it's a pro-capital fascist like modi.
I was in Delhi in Feb 2020 right before the Pandemic and I witnessed an election. It was held on a Saturday, and what impressed me was that the poll workers actually had printed sheets of one inch square photos of the voters for their area. They were sitting at a long table out in the alley of the spice market and was manned by teachers.
If someone can please design a bit of merch that has Tommy and Ben both holding their heads in their hands saying "What is Going On In This World?!", I would like to buy it. (ETA something from around 33:30)
Putin approval rating is not "at 86%". It's just ludicrous to state that. It is absolutely impossible to measure it, really. In a country, where for criticism of official political line one can go to prison (not an exaggeration), what would you answer if an anonymous voice ask you over the phone "do you approve our president?" No polling data from there is worth the paper it was printed on or server space it occupied in electronic form.
As political analysts, I wish you would provide more insight as to why the Biden administration is proceeding as they are in the middle east. Anyone can get on a podcast and talk about the tragedy in Gaza and how awful it is. I don't need to hear you do that. What I need to understand is why you think Biden is doing this.
How can there be any credibility in a poll conducted in Russia? Aside from the obvious dangers of voicing any opposition, it would assume that there was an alternative.
You two are very important to comment intelligently on all the weird shit happening in the world. Too few actually can do that suffiently. So, thank you!
"It doesn't justify starving children. Nothing does." At what point do you say this to Biden, who is enabling the people responsible for starving children?
Genuine question about the US bases, does the pentagon want to keep some infrastructures and bases in Africa and the middle east in case of a real crisis ? This was an argument from our french government, obviously our actions there was almost colonial, but I can see how some bases are always useful, especially for logistics and "soft power" ?
If Israel blames them having to starve Palestinians until Hamas gives back the hostages ,don’t they get they’re starving the hostages as well? This makes no sense.
Mr. Geltzer, has that FISA court overseeing 702 requests *ever* denied a request to collect data? Is the oversight vigorous? Because, historically, the answer here has been no.
The FBI issue with sensitive information is interesting. It's amazing what you can do by just changing an opt out system to opt in. Opt out puts the onus on you to make sure you don't access something, which the majority of people won't do. But Opt in flips that, and only those that want to access something would have the incentive to go thru the steps to opt in. AI companies stealing all our data could learn from this and change their opt out systems to opt in.
The same is true for all opt-in vs opt-out systems. Opt out systems will always get drastically more use than opt in systems. You can tell how much someone wants you to use their program purely by whether they configure it as an opt in or opt out program! If you think it is an accident that most companies set up their privacy related stuff as opt out, instead of opt in, then I might just happen to have a perfect bridge to sell you 😂
@@Bertinator-nm9ld Oh no, I know it's intentional by tech companies, I just like the FBI example because it shows intentional or unintentional, opt out is a bad deal. So when tech companies offer it as a solution, we should be wary of why they can't just offer opt in. Right now, everyone is kind of accepting opt out from these companies and there will be long term profound consequences if we as a society just accept this option. There's other problems with tech companies that need to be sorted for AI to work for humanity, not just tech companies. But this cuts at who controls our data.
It's never more clear that Tommy is from Massachusetts than when he gets mad 😂 the absolute Massholian Rage with which he speaks the name "Jared Kushner" is so relatable
I actually enjoy this pod more than the other Pod Save America. Shhhh don't tell the Jons... Can someone please uncover the dirt that Trump has on Graham?
The Arabs never took in the Palestinians except Jordan, which was next door. So let's be done with the idea the Arabs have Palestinian interest at heart. Forget U Saudi Arabia & friends.
Personally I don't like the idea of Trump having the legal authority to collect all my information and put me on a watchlist just because I once got a call from someone outside the country, and that call got swept up mass data collection
If you want to understand Havana Syndrome you need to look up the Hitchhiker Effect. They're both real documented cases of weird things happening to US military or intelligence staff around shady circumstances. Maybe they're related. You definitely can't say they aren't.
When speaking about the current situation in gaza, could we please remind people that it is hamas' perpetration of atrocities that kicked this off, & that they still hold hostages? That Netanyahu isn't even trying to get them back confirms a deal for Gaza Resort & Golf.
Love the pod. I know royal/ex royal gossip is not your arena and anyone seeing things about Meghan and Harry from a quick glance in the headlines would give them the benefit of the doubt and think they sound great (I did too), but oh boy, if you listen to anything she says/does on even a slightly deeper level you’ll run into Trump/Amber Heard level narcissism that will knock you off your feet. You don’t want random clips of you defending her on the internet I promise
Agreed. Do I think the royals have a racism problem? Most likely. Do I think Megan cries wolf? Absolutely! I would never be able to marry a royal/rich/celebrity man. I'm not pretty or thin enough. That doesn't mean I necessarily hate on anyone who does marry those men. But Megan is horrible. She's not even a good actress, mind you many are just horrible now. I've seen better acting on Skinamax flicks when I was a teen. I think people like an underdog/black sheep story. I also am incredibly annoyed with Harry. Yes, it's horrible his mom died so tragically. But crapping on William for not looking as much like her now because he's older than she ever was? It's just bizzare. Oh we're supposed to feel sorry for the little spare prince. A prince who gave up his status because "it was too much work". Heck I'd do all of what was expected of them for a quarter of the "salary". Entitled babies who just want to cry and tell their stories. When I watched what little I did of the Depp/Heard trial all I could think is: they probably both suck. If anything she's worse because she's playing victim because she was "so young". My grandma married at 19. Had her first child at 20 and her youngest by 29. She left her husband at 22 while pregnant with her 2nd because she couldn't take care of 2 babies and her 65 year old mother inlaw. My grandma was expected to do all the cooking, laundry, gardening, canning, feeding calves and chickens. People of my generation are lazy entitled cry babies. I was born in 88. I despise my generation.
Seb Gorka always comes off as a melodramatic C-list character actor who specializes in portraying verbose, self-impressed, slimy Eastern-European minor criminals.
I'm really grateful how clear-eyed y'all are about Gaza, I understand lots of people must be calling you all nasty things over not blindly towing the line that zionists (mostly christian zionists) want us all to tow. Just know that people will remember you choosing humanity over political convenience
If the war in Gaza is about the hostages, letting assistance in should be a high priority. After all, if Hamas can't feed their members and their families, they're probably not going to be feeding their prisoners either, so starving the place out is likely to put the hostages in even more danger.
Will ‘Do Not Forward’ India mail be sent to every resident to guarantee residency. We can send America’s Republican voter integrity watchdogs to assure there are no shenanigans. They must be legitimate votes and not Indian Tigers.
Exactly, Netanyahu seems to be as dillusion as Trump. Isreal is not a Territory of the USA.. We support them....because. Is that support now in jeopardy? Why because of whom and why?
Globally, Zionism is conflicted with Judaism. Hard to separate Israel from Jews... and yet Netanyahu and his powerful associates refuse to wake up to the call of humanity. I remember as a child, Jews crying out "Why Me?". et VOILA, Mr. Netanyahu, Voila.

32:12. This is the kind of government/business that happens in third world countries “even as we speak”. Forgive me for playing Devil’s Advocate, but I think the reason the democrats in congress, never mind congress, are not addressing Kushner’s activities in government is because it is too criminal and not controversial enough that no one could determine what, if any, affect he had on the American people. If Kushner robbed actual US citizens, then Capital Hill would have a field day, otherwise we must all come to grips with the fact there is no prison sentence for being A-Royal-Pain-In-The-Big-Booty. 😓
You guys should know this better than anyone, but yikes that title. If "vote democrat" isn't in quotes from some republican using THEIR focused grouped political talking point, it should always be: Vote Democratic, since that's been the name of the party since the 1820s.
I get that we are allies with the Israel state, I get that we have extremely close ties with the people there, but wrong is wrong and all we have to do is stop funding them with arms. That’s it. Tell them we will hold back any future arms unless they relent and this is no longer an issue.
@@jayshkoComparing Israel to Sweden is nonsense. Israel is actively oppressing and abusing the Palestinians. Sweden is not building an apartheid system.
Every time Ben Rhodes says that we give $4B to Israel, he should have to disclaim that it's security aid relating to his Iran Deal. He acts so confused, but he is one of the people most personally responsible. His deal created so much risk for Israel that it took $35B (in 2023 dollars) in missile defense and weapons over a decade to reassure them. Aid for three events - rearming Israel during the Yom Kippur War, aid to Israel and Egypt to help ease their peace deal, and the JCPOA - have accounted for 40% of all US aid to Israel. Even in inflation-adjusted dollars, the JCPOA-related aid alone is more than all development aid the US gave to Israel, at $34B in 2023 dollars. And both pale in comparison to US aid to Ukraine, which was $75B across 2022 and 2023. This show could benefit from more facts and less vibes.
Gotta second the last sentence. I started listening because the pundits here were experts in their field and demonstrated it with data. We seem to be getting farther away from that with guests like max who never actually says facts but constantly gives takes. I would also love for the members of this podcast to add some actual historical context to their opinions, rather than anecdotal feelings which it seems is increasingly prevalent. A show going on a deep dive about the history of the Israel Palestine conflict and how we got where we are today starting from the founding of Israel would be amazing content compared to just hearing about the past 6 months. What is Israel's public goal now, how do their actions historically support or contradict that goal. What hashappened in the past when these solutions have been tested? What is hamas, why do they exist, is their approval rating really as high as reported among palestinians? How have these organizations interacted with each other in the past, what basis of trust is possible? Is there a world where a parliamentary system could incorporate the two groups into a single governing body? Is there any historical basis where either side can trust the other to keep up their end of an agreement? What is each organizations stated vs actual policy towards the civilians on the other side of the border? What can neighbors or international organizations do to de-escalate the situation? Has it been tried before? What happened then? Just would love this to be more a source of reliable information than a group of takes.
The issue is that Israel is conducting this conflict without any reason, logical, or strategy but blind anger & hatred. This is no gentlemanly war for a country that claims to be civilized and advanced.
10/7 was reason enough. They are at war. A foreign army came into Israel, exterminated their civilians and then went back home and celebrated wtih the rest of Gaza. If you can't wrap that around your jew-hating mind, read it again.
@@aguijohn1321so the forced starvation of millions is fine. the Holocaust was ‘never again’ but now only matters bc Jewish ppl have the right to an ethnostate and if they want to murder all their neighbours the Western est. has to help?
Oh they really do have a reason. They want any memory of a possible Palestinian state erased from memory, and if that takes removing Palestinians from the land or from among the living that’s an acceptable cost.
30,000 Hamas soldiers, a population of 2.2 million, so let's see...starve ANY NUMBER OF CHILDREN (thousands??) to get rid of 1.3% of said population. October 7th was absolute horror but this? THIS? I am much sadder then angry and not in any way certain how that's possible
DEMOCRATS AGAINST HAMAS! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE start giving culpability to BOTH Netanyahu AND Hamas. Hamas could release the hostages and save the Palestinians, but they don't. Netanyahu could end the attack. BOTH HAVE AGENCY TO END THE CRISIS. You are WRONG to imply over and over that Israel is the only party with the power to end this.
Israel doesn't want the hostages. Hamas doesn't really have agency when Israel doesn't care about the hostages except as a front for their genocidal actions.
Both have agency to end the crisis but two issues for us Democrats. First, I don't know if you know this but terrorist typically don't do what people say. Israel learned this when they cynically supported and kept Hamas in power for over 2 decades. Pakistan is realizing this after cynically supporting the Taliban to keep India in check and now they have issues with Afghanistan. The second is we aren't allies with Hamas, only Israel, so we have an obligation to call Israel out. You have the same problem Biden has. You don't want to change your stance even if it costs Biden the election. Good luck to you and Biden with that position.
And he is right! Democrats rhetoric regarding war in Gaza is what changed my opinion. So will be voting for Trump to save Israel. You can keep fighting for Gaza and Hamas, some are choosing Israel.
I don't know why the USA has to pick a side. Israel isn't one of the 50 states, Israel is not in NATO. They are just another country, and recent actions prove they do not use weapons responsibly.

“Non US persons don’t have 4th amendment rights, so we feel it’s okay to collect all their information” is not the persuasive argument I would have lead with.

"You are foreign, therefore we may kidnap, torture and murder you" - The US security services betrayed the truth of how all these Constitutional principles are meaningless. They didn't put on trial anyone involved in Bush's war crimes. They aren't party to international agreements on war crimes because they don't really have ANY principles.
They still try to lecture the world on Human Rights but everyone knows they are liars.
I absolutely hate it when the Jewish faith is conflated with Israeli foreign policy. The two are not one in the same. And I'm not even Jewish!
Agree. Zionist is a political ideology not a faith.
I mean when they claim that Israel is a nation for the Jews, it's not crazy to link the government and the religion.
If Israel would just give equal citizenship with the Palestinians and form a state with equal rights for all, you would see a lot less conflation. Forming your country around a religion tends to have the effect you hate.
True, but that global perception alert is lost on Israel. Schumer tried.
Have you ever called for the 27 Muslim ethnostates to do the same? Or are you also "just" applying a double standard? @@jmhorange
Thank you so much for saying this. It seems crazy that so much of the media is completely ignoring this atrocity!
As an Indian from India, I will share this to English speaking people how ignorant this channel is about Modi, they are literally praising the guy who is Trump's best friend and has taught Trump how to rule like him and become a dictator himself like how Modi is in India. Modi and his party have always been supporters of Nazism and follow Hindu nationalism like Nazi nationalism in Germany back in time. Please I urge to the viewers to ask this channel to talk about India only after total research. This hurts to see how they arenonly talking about election system which is totally rigged as Modi planted his own hench men to preside over the commission just so that Modi wins everytime, just like Putin and Xinping and Netanyahu.
Half azz knowledge is dangerous to the people who watch this channel 🙏
Not enough people speaking up against modi, our media barely covers the resistance/protests against him, I think I mostly hear about them because I have a farming background (and see farm news). Also, India isn't a US ally and hasn't been in since they threw off the British yoke last I checked, I was very briefly confused as to why the US was suddenly really hot for India, then I realized the issue was the modi is a fascist, and if there is one thing the US establishment loves, it's a pro-capital fascist like modi.
Ben and Tommy hate Modi...watchu talking about?
I was in Delhi in Feb 2020 right before the Pandemic and I witnessed an election. It was held on a Saturday, and what impressed me was that the poll workers actually had printed sheets of one inch square photos of the voters for their area. They were sitting at a long table out in the alley of the spice market and was manned by teachers.
22:34 Jared the last boss in the nepo baby video game 😂 so true
Kushner is Trump lite. 🤬🤬🤬
If someone can please design a bit of merch that has Tommy and Ben both holding their heads in their hands saying "What is Going On In This World?!", I would like to buy it. (ETA something from around 33:30)
Putin approval rating is not "at 86%". It's just ludicrous to state that. It is absolutely impossible to measure it, really. In a country, where for criticism of official political line one can go to prison (not an exaggeration), what would you answer if an anonymous voice ask you over the phone "do you approve our president?" No polling data from there is worth the paper it was printed on or server space it occupied in electronic form.
Spot On! Putin is a Russian Trump who is Dangerous and Can Not be Trusted!
As political analysts, I wish you would provide more insight as to why the Biden administration is proceeding as they are in the middle east. Anyone can get on a podcast and talk about the tragedy in Gaza and how awful it is. I don't need to hear you do that. What I need to understand is why you think Biden is doing this.
It is so great to have intelligent thoughtful people in government.
How can there be any credibility in a poll conducted in Russia? Aside from the obvious dangers of voicing any opposition, it would assume that there was an alternative.
You two are very important to comment intelligently on all the weird shit happening in the world. Too few actually can do that suffiently. So, thank you!
"It doesn't justify starving children. Nothing does." At what point do you say this to Biden, who is enabling the people responsible for starving children?
Look the problem is simple to identify,,, it money in politics which thereby feeds the.greed*!?
Pretty good podcast. The only US one I watch!
Genuine question about the US bases, does the pentagon want to keep some infrastructures and bases in Africa and the middle east in case of a real crisis ? This was an argument from our french government, obviously our actions there was almost colonial, but I can see how some bases are always useful, especially for logistics and "soft power" ?
aren't there like 750/800 US bases around the world???
If Israel blames them having to starve Palestinians until Hamas gives back the hostages ,don’t they get they’re starving the hostages as well? This makes no sense.
Mr. Geltzer, has that FISA court overseeing 702 requests *ever* denied a request to collect data? Is the oversight vigorous? Because, historically, the answer here has been no.
Amazing information gained from the interview. Thanks!
great cut in for an ad. Geltzer said, “the courts have said-“ and then the ad starts in.
Came across your guys show by chance. Great job! Min mark around 18+ amazing
The FBI issue with sensitive information is interesting. It's amazing what you can do by just changing an opt out system to opt in. Opt out puts the onus on you to make sure you don't access something, which the majority of people won't do. But Opt in flips that, and only those that want to access something would have the incentive to go thru the steps to opt in.
AI companies stealing all our data could learn from this and change their opt out systems to opt in.
The same is true for all opt-in vs opt-out systems. Opt out systems will always get drastically more use than opt in systems. You can tell how much someone wants you to use their program purely by whether they configure it as an opt in or opt out program!
If you think it is an accident that most companies set up their privacy related stuff as opt out, instead of opt in, then I might just happen to have a perfect bridge to sell you 😂
@@Bertinator-nm9ld Oh no, I know it's intentional by tech companies, I just like the FBI example because it shows intentional or unintentional, opt out is a bad deal. So when tech companies offer it as a solution, we should be wary of why they can't just offer opt in. Right now, everyone is kind of accepting opt out from these companies and there will be long term profound consequences if we as a society just accept this option. There's other problems with tech companies that need to be sorted for AI to work for humanity, not just tech companies. But this cuts at who controls our data.

Lindsey Graham doesn't really care about Trump. Lindsey cares about the kompromat that Trump (probably) has on Lindsey.
He just loves! Men in uniform.
It only took 5 months for key leaders to finally wake up to the reality of the situation. I think we'll be seeing soon if it's too little too late.

Love your program -- the Obama Boys!
When speaking about the current situation in gaza, could we please remind people that it is hamas' perpetration of atrocities that kicked this off, & that they still hold hostages? That Netanyahu isn't even trying to get them back confirms a deal for Gaza Resort & Golf.
Love the pod. I know royal/ex royal gossip is not your arena and anyone seeing things about Meghan and Harry from a quick glance in the headlines would give them the benefit of the doubt and think they sound great (I did too), but oh boy, if you listen to anything she says/does on even a slightly deeper level you’ll run into Trump/Amber Heard level narcissism that will knock you off your feet. You don’t want random clips of you defending her on the internet I promise
Agreed. Do I think the royals have a racism problem? Most likely. Do I think Megan cries wolf? Absolutely!
I would never be able to marry a royal/rich/celebrity man. I'm not pretty or thin enough. That doesn't mean I necessarily hate on anyone who does marry those men. But Megan is horrible. She's not even a good actress, mind you many are just horrible now. I've seen better acting on Skinamax flicks when I was a teen.
I think people like an underdog/black sheep story.
I also am incredibly annoyed with Harry. Yes, it's horrible his mom died so tragically. But crapping on William for not looking as much like her now because he's older than she ever was? It's just bizzare. Oh we're supposed to feel sorry for the little spare prince. A prince who gave up his status because "it was too much work". Heck I'd do all of what was expected of them for a quarter of the "salary". Entitled babies who just want to cry and tell their stories.
When I watched what little I did of the Depp/Heard trial all I could think is: they probably both suck. If anything she's worse because she's playing victim because she was "so young". My grandma married at 19. Had her first child at 20 and her youngest by 29. She left her husband at 22 while pregnant with her 2nd because she couldn't take care of 2 babies and her 65 year old mother inlaw. My grandma was expected to do all the cooking, laundry, gardening, canning, feeding calves and chickens.
People of my generation are lazy entitled cry babies. I was born in 88. I despise my generation.
For Bibi, hostages are a burden, martyrs are an asset. He never had any plan to get them out.

I’m glad too, and relieved. I was having difficulty for the first months of this Israeli horror show.
Obviously bibi's bad, but he can't take all the blame here, whatever government comes in after this should have to face heavy sanctions.

Josh Geltzer is incredible GenAI
What did Joe Kennedy say to the German Ambassador in London?? Remind me.
Shows the general corruption of both parties!!
If the war in Gaza is about the hostages, letting assistance in should be a high priority. After all, if Hamas can't feed their members and their families, they're probably not going to be feeding their prisoners either, so starving the place out is likely to put the hostages in even more danger.

32:12. This is the kind of government/business that happens in third world countries “even as we speak”. Forgive me for playing Devil’s Advocate, but I think the reason the democrats in congress, never mind congress, are not addressing Kushner’s activities in government is because it is too criminal and not controversial enough that no one could determine what, if any, affect he had on the American people. If Kushner robbed actual US citizens, then Capital Hill would have a field day, otherwise we must all come to grips with the fact there is no prison sentence for being A-Royal-Pain-In-The-Big-Booty. 😓
You guys should know this better than anyone, but yikes that title. If "vote democrat" isn't in quotes from some republican using THEIR focused grouped political talking point, it should always be: Vote Democratic, since that's been the name of the party since the 1820s.
I get that we are allies with the Israel state, I get that we have extremely close ties with the people there, but wrong is wrong and all we have to do is stop funding them with arms. That’s it. Tell them we will hold back any future arms unless they relent and this is no longer an issue.
why do you find yourselves having to handle Zionism with care, like it isn’t pure colonial ethnostste project
because they support it. it's very simple. liberals are no friend to humanity.
Jews are native to the land so it’s not colonial. Ethnostate yes, just like Sweden and Saudi Arabia are.
Maybe if the Arabs quit colonizing lands and went back to the Arabian Peninsula we would have some peace in the Middle East?
jews are not native to the land. Israel's leader's aren't even from Israel. lol Sweden isn't an ethnostate dum dum.@@jayshko

Every time Ben Rhodes says that we give $4B to Israel, he should have to disclaim that it's security aid relating to his Iran Deal. He acts so confused, but he is one of the people most personally responsible. His deal created so much risk for Israel that it took $35B (in 2023 dollars) in missile defense and weapons over a decade to reassure them.
Aid for three events - rearming Israel during the Yom Kippur War, aid to Israel and Egypt to help ease their peace deal, and the JCPOA - have accounted for 40% of all US aid to Israel. Even in inflation-adjusted dollars, the JCPOA-related aid alone is more than all development aid the US gave to Israel, at $34B in 2023 dollars.
And both pale in comparison to US aid to Ukraine, which was $75B across 2022 and 2023.
This show could benefit from more facts and less vibes.
we give the same to egypt .. get them to open the border ..
Gotta second the last sentence. I started listening because the pundits here were experts in their field and demonstrated it with data. We seem to be getting farther away from that with guests like max who never actually says facts but constantly gives takes. I would also love for the members of this podcast to add some actual historical context to their opinions, rather than anecdotal feelings which it seems is increasingly prevalent. A show going on a deep dive about the history of the Israel Palestine conflict and how we got where we are today starting from the founding of Israel would be amazing content compared to just hearing about the past 6 months. What is Israel's public goal now, how do their actions historically support or contradict that goal. What hashappened in the past when these solutions have been tested? What is hamas, why do they exist, is their approval rating really as high as reported among palestinians? How have these organizations interacted with each other in the past, what basis of trust is possible? Is there a world where a parliamentary system could incorporate the two groups into a single governing body? Is there any historical basis where either side can trust the other to keep up their end of an agreement? What is each organizations stated vs actual policy towards the civilians on the other side of the border? What can neighbors or international organizations do to de-escalate the situation? Has it been tried before? What happened then? Just would love this to be more a source of reliable information than a group of takes.
Rhodes seems to want Israel to cease to exist. What do you expect?

IMO, US should withdraw support from Israel in a stepwise fashion if Israel is not making the changes that we demand!
The issue is that Israel is conducting this conflict without any reason, logical, or strategy but blind anger & hatred. This is no gentlemanly war for a country that claims to be civilized and advanced.
10/7 was reason enough. They are at war. A foreign army came into Israel, exterminated their civilians and then went back home and celebrated wtih the rest of Gaza. If you can't wrap that around your jew-hating mind, read it again.
@@aguijohn1321so the forced starvation of millions is fine. the Holocaust was ‘never again’ but now only matters bc Jewish ppl have the right to an ethnostate and if they want to murder all their neighbours the Western est. has to help?
Oh they really do have a reason. They want any memory of a possible Palestinian state erased from memory, and if that takes removing Palestinians from the land or from among the living that’s an acceptable cost.
Trump projects! 😡
Yellowcake!!!
30,000 Hamas soldiers, a population of 2.2 million, so let's see...starve ANY NUMBER OF CHILDREN (thousands??) to get rid of 1.3% of said population. October 7th was absolute horror but this? THIS? I am much sadder then angry and not in any way certain how that's possible
So we complain about the CCP’s engagement with TikTok but we are pushing to do the same thing with American apps????
Send Hillary Clinton to Gaza and she can give food aid when the Gazan children comply with work requirements.
DEMOCRATS AGAINST HAMAS! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE start giving culpability to BOTH Netanyahu AND Hamas. Hamas could release the hostages and save the Palestinians, but they don't. Netanyahu could end the attack. BOTH HAVE AGENCY TO END THE CRISIS. You are WRONG to imply over and over that Israel is the only party with the power to end this.
Victim shaming Israel? Nice try.
GODSPEED IDF!
Israel doesn't want the hostages. Hamas doesn't really have agency when Israel doesn't care about the hostages except as a front for their genocidal actions.
Both have agency to end the crisis but two issues for us Democrats. First, I don't know if you know this but terrorist typically don't do what people say. Israel learned this when they cynically supported and kept Hamas in power for over 2 decades. Pakistan is realizing this after cynically supporting the Taliban to keep India in check and now they have issues with Afghanistan. The second is we aren't allies with Hamas, only Israel, so we have an obligation to call Israel out.
You have the same problem Biden has. You don't want to change your stance even if it costs Biden the election. Good luck to you and Biden with that position.
