Today we dive into the big discounts making EVs more affordable than ever. We also talk about New Jersey's move to ban gasoline cars by 2035, as well as the options and soon-to-be real future of digital car keys.Amid increasing US production and surplus inventory, EVs are seeing significant discounts. However, this buyer's market might not last long.OEMs from Ford to Tesla have been cutting EV prices in response to a surplus in the US, with some discounts up to 31%, making them competitively priced against gas powered equivalentsFor instance, the BMW iX, with advanced features like a touch-responsive sunroof and gesture-controlled stereo, is available at a 17% discount for $80,195. For more budget-friendly options, Nissan's Ariya is listed at an 18% discount for $36,690, while the Hyundai Kona Electric is offered in Atlanta at a substantial 31% discount, priced at $29,990.Elaine Buckberg, a former economist at General Motors and a senior fellow at Harvard University says,“The stories being written that it's falling apart are just dead wrong. The aggressive pricing is likely reflective of an inventory imbalance that will regulate as EV sales are up 2.5 times in the last 12 months2035 might just be the new 2030. Joining states like California, New York, and Colorado, New Jersey is doing what it can to speed up its EV Transition and has announced a ban on manufacturer sales of new gasoline vehicles by 2035.New Jersey adopts California's Advanced Clean Cars II regulation, aiming for 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035.The rule mandates that 43% of cars produced by 2027 be zero-emission, increasing to 68% by 2030.This regulatory shift doesn't impose direct obligations on consumers or dealers, but significantly influences manufacturer production.The New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers criticizes the move, citing concerns over consumer choice and affordability arguing the mandate could significantly disrupt the market, impacting both consumers and car dealersImagine a world where losing your car keys doesn't matter? Some of the brightest minds are doing just that as digital keys are steadily making their way to center stage. While adoption is growing, questions around technology choices, security, and compatibility remain.Daniel Knobloch, vice president and a board member at Car Connectivity Consortium who also worked for over seven years as a wireless systems architect at BMW talks about the emerging tech in an interview on The VergeThere are a variety of standards in play that each have pros, cons, and a chance of making it into your next new vehicleNFC: Near-Field Communication, UWB: Ultra-Wideband and Bluetooth.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

In this era of crossover vehicles and electric-powered appliance cars, fewer and fewer models on the road get an enthusiast's blood boiling. But one vehicle that does just that is the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Morizo edition. First off, it serves up 300 horsepower from its highly sophisticated turbocharged three-cylinder engine. In a vehicle the size and weight of a Corolla, that is a heady way to begin. But that's just the start of what the Morizo edition provides. As Host Jack Nerad discovered during his week test driving the GR Corolla, the Morizo Edition's close gear ratio transmission, shorter differential gears, forged wheels, stiffened chassis, front brake ducts, mono-tube shock absorbers, and Ultrasuede seats make a great car even greater. While turning the GR Corolla into a two-seater takes the edge off versatility, it does show Gazoo Racing is serious about lightweighting the car. Torque is a stout 295 pound-feet, giving the Morizo Edition gratifying acceleration. In this episode of America on the Road, Nerad will give more detail on the GR Corolla and describe his experiences in the car. Happily, its straightline acceleration is matched by its ability to corner, an ability that has been enhanced by a stiffer body, upgraded suspension, and stickier Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. In our other road test this week, Co-Host Chris Teague gets in the driver's seat of the 2024 Toyota Prius. While it is hardly the equal of the GR Corolla, it is now a fun-to-drive small car in its own right. With nearly 200 horsepower on tap and the added benefits of electric-motor torque, the current Prius is the most fun-to-drive version ever. If that sounds like the automotive version of the world's tallest midget, you'll just have to listen to Teague's report to hear how good the new generation Prius really is. Topping the news segment this week, the Los Angeles Auto Show is finishing its run, and we will bring you the most important news from that international show. Hyundai, Honda, Kia, and Lucid showed very interesting vehicles in Los Angeles, and we'll give you details. Hyundai unmasked an all-new Santa Fe SUV and announced that it would begin selling cars through Amazon next year. Honda previewed an old performance coupe favorite, and Kia displayed a couple of battery-electric concept cars. Meanwhile, Lucid Motors might have stolen the show with its impressive three-row Gravity SUV. And there is drama at General Motors as the two top executives of the company's Cruise self-driving effort exit the company in the wake of safety issues that are dogging it. We'll have details and commentary on that Byzantine tale in this show. Our very special guest this week is Steve Center, Chief Operating Officer of Kia America. We had the opportunity to sit down with him to discuss the many challenges and opportunities the brand faces as the market landscape shifts. Center is one of the smartest guys in the car industry, and we're certain you'll enjoy what he has to say. America on the Road is brought to you by Driving Today.com, Mercury Insurance, YourTestDriver.com, and EMLandsea.com , the publisher of Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark, which is available HERE on Amazon.com
Cuando se habla de marcas que colaboraron con los nazis, todo el mundo piensa en marcas alemanas… ¡Qué gran error! Ford, GM y Renault colaboraron también con el Führer. De hecho, a Louis Renault le costó la vida y la empresa… Os aseguro que estas historias os van a sorprender… Entramos en terreno espinoso. Ya sabéis que en Garaje Hermético no nos gustan las polémicas… las polémicas gratuitas. Pero no las rehuimos ni nos asustan. Y muchos de vosotros nos habéis pedido este vídeo y eso sí que es ley: “Vuestros deseos son órdenes”. Así que vamos con ello. Estas historias os van a sorprender, sobre todo la de Louis Renault… por eso la hemos dejado para el final… Henry Ford, ídolo de Hitler. Os voy a dar un dato que seguro que muchos no imagináis. ¿Conocéis el libro titulado “Mein Kampf”, en español “Mi lucha”? Es un libro escrito por Hitler en la cárcel que viene a ser como un manifiesto del nacionalsocialismo. Pues en ese libro Hitler nombra a Henry Ford. Os doy otro dato, ¿sabéis de quien tenía una foto Hitler en su celda? ¡Acertasteis! Otra vez de Henry Ford. Entre otros motivos, porque Ford no tuvo miedo de exponer sus ideas antisemitas en público. Un dato más: Los nazis condecoraron a Ford en 1938, ¿lo sabías? Yo no. Henry Ford era un hombre muy pragmático, quería resultados y a veces el “cómo” le daba un poco igual. Veía el mundo como una gran fábrica y la Alemania nazi, con su pasión por el orden y la obediencia, le debió de parecer en su momento algo totalmente fascinador. Y, por el otro lado, a los nazis, aquel magnate tan profesional y serio les pareció un ejemplo a seguir, tanto que lo condecoraron en 1938. ¿Estaban hechos el uno para el otro? Quizás, pero el hecho es que Henry Ford terminó dando su apoyo a Hitler de forma abierta y le proporcionó recursos económicos y material para fabricar vehículos y armamento. General Motors. Vía Suiza. Meter en el “saco” de marcas alemanas que apoyaron a Hitler a Opel es un error… porque GM tenía el control de Opel y los propietarios americanos no tuvieron al parecer muchos escrúpulos cuando tuvieron que elegir entre los objetivos comerciales y los humanitarios. El Opel Blitz fue el camión por antonomasia de la Wehrmacht, el ejército alemán, para el transporte de hombres y suministros. Y es que desde 1930, cuando General Motors compra Opel, los americanos estaban encantados. No era para menos, llegaron a tener un 40% de cuota de mercado. Las relaciones entre Hitler y los directivos de la GM eran muy, pero que muy buenas. Y los americanos estaban encantados de que sus coches y camiones Opel sirvieran tanto al ejército alemán como a los ciudadanos de a pie. ¿Y cómo pagaba Alemania a GM? No hay que ser muy listos: El dinero pasaba por Suiza y así las dos partes podían hacer negocios tranquilamente. Louis Renault, ¡increíble! Esta es la historia más sorprendente de todas. Y quizás la más injusta. Porque Louis Renault y su marca fueron claves en la Primera Guerra Mundial y todo ese esfuerzo le supuso a Louis Renault la condecoración cuyo nombre tengo que leer: La Gran Cruz de Hierro de la Legión de Honor de la República Francesa. Luego veremos cómo cambiaron las tornas. Porque en 1940 las cosas fueron muy distintas: Los alemanes aplastaron a los franceses, conquistaron el país y obligaron a Louis Renault a colaborar con el ejército nazi. Sobre esta parte de la historia no encontraréis mucha info, ni siquiera se cita en Wikipedia, por ejemplo. La clave de todo esto es si Louis aceptó de buen grado esta situación o por el contrario intentó negarse. Yo, desde luego, no lo sé, porque he encontrado versiones muy distintas… pero lo peor viene ahora. Porque en 1944 se libera Francia. Para entonces Louis Renault contaba ya con 67 años y se dice que tenía problemas en el habla. Hablemos de datos contrastados: Louis Renault se presentó voluntariamente a un juez, que le mandó a la cárcel donde moriría al cabo de unos meses sin que hubiese habido juicio. Pero lo sorprendente llega ahora: En 1945, sin mediar ningún juicio, el gobierno francés expropió la empresa a los herederos, argumentando la traición de su padre. Los herederos pleitearon contra el gobierno francés, pero en 2012 los herederos pierden el pleito, entre otras cosas, porque haber prescrito… pero confiscar los bienes a un fallecido no sé si es legal, pero desde luego, poco elegante sí que es. Coche del día. ¿Qué os parece el Renault 4CV llamado en España 4-4? ¡No confundir con el R4! De este modelo de 1947 he visto y leído que fue diseñado por Porsche… pues es cierto. Tras acabar la Segunda Guerra Mundial Porsche fue encarcelado en Francia.

The Father of Automotive Design: Celebrating Harley Earl's Legacy on His BirthdayToday, we celebrate the birthday of a pioneer whose influence has left an indelible mark on the automotive industry – Harley Earl. Born on November 22, 1893, in Los Angeles, California, Earl became a trailblazer in the industry, earning the title of the "Father of Automotive Design" for his revolutionary contributions.Harley J. Earl's journey into the world of automobiles began in the early 20th century. His father, J.W. Earl, operated a coach-building shop in LA, exposing young Harley to the intricacies of automotive craftsmanship. Earl's keen interest and innate artistic talent, along with the family business, led him to pursue a career in car design, eventually catching the eye of General Motors (GM) founder William C. Durant.In 1927, Harley Earl joined General Motors, marking the beginning of a transformative era in automotive design. Earl's appointment as the head of GM's Art and Color Section signaled a paradigm shift. He introduced the concept of "styling" to the automotive world, emphasizing the importance of aesthetics alongside functionality.Under Earl's leadership, the 1927 LaSalle became the first production car to feature stylistic input from an in-house design team, setting the stage for a new era of automotive elegance. Earl's vision went beyond mere functionality – he believed cars should be works of art, capturing the spirit of the times.One of Harley Earl's most iconic contributions was the introduction of tailfins in the 1948 Cadillac. Inspired by World War II fighter planes, these sleek and distinctive fins became synonymous with post-war American automotive design. Earl's daring innovations set trends that influenced the industry for decades.Earl's creative genius extended beyond Cadillac to other GM brands like Chevrolet, Buick, and Oldsmobile. The '50s and '60s saw the birth of iconic models such as the Chevrolet Corvette and the Buick Riviera, solidifying GM's position as a leader in automotive design.Harley Earl retired from General Motors in 1958, leaving behind a legacy that transformed the automotive landscape. His impact on the industry was not just about designing cars; it was about shaping the very culture of American automobiles. Earl's emphasis on design as a driving force in the automotive world paved the way for future generations of designers to consider form as much as function.Harley Earl's birthday serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of a man whose creative vision transformed the automotive industry. From the introduction of stylistic design to the iconic tailfin era, Earl's impact is woven into the fabric of American automotive history. So, as we honor the "Father of Automotive Design" on his 130th birthday, let's reflect on the beauty and artistry that he brought to the world of cars, shaping an industry that continues to captivate us to this day.www.nodrivingloves.com#cars #car #collectorcars #oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #onthisday #NaPodPoMo #ithappenedtoday #design #harleyearl #fatherofautomotivedesign

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Porter Stansberry back to the show. Porter founded Stansberry Research in 1999, and he recently returned as CEO and chairman of parent company MarketWise (MKTW). With more than 25 years of experience as a financial analyst and publisher to draw on, Porter shares his opinions on the current state of the markets and which areas of the economy look most attractive today.But first, Dan and Corey talk about investors' unfounded hopes for falling interest rates and some Wall Street analysts predicting that the Federal Reserve will soon cut rates by 150 basis points. "I just don't see that happening," Corey says. Afterward, the conversation shifts to the bond market, the drop in demand for U.S. Treasurys, China "imploding minute by minute," and the biggest "turkeys" who have made the most absurd financial decisions this year. Plus, Dan explores investor psychology and how it has been warped by a decade-plus of low rates and the longest bull market in history. (0:00) Porter then joins the show and discusses why Ayn Rand's 1957 book Atlas Shrugged continues to be relevant today, General Motors' chances of going bankrupt again, and his "new, old" job as CEO of MarketWise. He explains his strategy for the company going forward. (25:08) Moving on to the broader economy, Porter shares an updated prediction of what he sees coming for the market. In mid-September, he was concerned we were on the cusp of another major financial crisis. But now he thinks the immediate danger may be past. (42:34) Porter also shares that most quality businesses out there trade for high valuations, but those with unrecognized quality still present fantastic buying opportunities today. Even companies that have recently made negative headlines can still have incredible underlying value.(48:48) Finally, Porter details what's happening in the bond market right now and why he believes it's worth investing in. And you won't want to miss his parting message, where he explains why it's a great time to be alive despite any global issues or societal problems. "Most investors make the mistake of not being optimistic enough," he says. (57:35)

Virginia Anderson, Curator of American Art at the Baltimore Museum of Art walks us through the BMA's brand-new exhibit, Art/Work: Women Printmakers of the WPA, which explores the importance of women artists many of whom are unknown today, yet who captured the human faces of industrial and domestic labor and its inherent racial, gendered, and class inequities while they used their art to support important reforms led by the era's growing communist and socialist movements.

Despite initial opposition at several General Motors assembly plants, the agreements are leaning towards acceptance, marking a significant shift in labor relations within the industry.Toyota, in a significant strategic shift, announced that the next-generation Camry will be sold exclusively as a hybrid. This move reflects Toyota's adapting to evolving market trends, and consumer preferences for more environmentally friendly vehicles.A recent Cisco survey, named "Cisco's AI Readiness Index," gathered responses from over 8000 business leaders in companies with more than 500 employees across 30 different markets. It found that while 97% of respondents felt an urgent need to implement AI, only 14% felt fully prepared for the transition.(00:00:00) Intro (00:02:40) Edge Webinar w/ Invoca(00:03:22) More than Cars Family & Friends Episodes Mashups(00:05:29) UAW nearing Contract Agreements(00:08:05) 2024 Toyota Camry released in Hybrid only(00:10:32) Cisco's AI Readiness IndexHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Celso Otero, gestor de fondos de Renta4, destaca los principales valores que mueven este miércoles Wall Street.
Na semana que antecede o GP de Las Vegas, a Andretti e a General Motors decidiram apostar alto na tentativa de compor o grid da Fórmula 1 nos próximos anos. Na última terça-feira (14), a GM, através da Cadillac, entrou com um registro junto à FIA para se tornar fornecedora de motores na categoria a partir de 2028. Com isso, a equipe americana deu ALL IN na F1 e, além de ter provado que tem estrutura financeira e técnica, deixou claro que também terá status de equipe de fábrica com uma parceira da magnitude da GM. A Fórmula 1 parece ter perdido todas as fichas nessa jogada dos americanos. Mas será que ainda resta uma carta na manga para tentar barrar a 11ª equipe do grid? É o que o #TTGP de hoje analisa. O #TTGP conta com a apresentação de Pedro Henrique Marum, os comentários de JP Nascimento, Guilherme Bloisi e Bernardo Castro, além da produção de Rodrigo Berton.
Revolutionary EV1: Igniting Change November 15As the late 1990s saw a surge in concerns over environmental sustainability and the impact of traditional automobiles, General Motors boldly embarked on a revolutionary journey with the introduction of the EV1—an electric vehicle marking a significant milestone in automotive history. Launched November 14, 1996, the EV1 was far more than just a car; it was a daring statement about the future of transportation.In an era when electric vehicles were mere fledglings, GM seized the reins, crafting a car that challenged the status quo and carved a path toward a greener automotive future. The EV1's design and technology were undeniably ahead of their time. Its sleek aerodynamic body resembled a futuristic two-seater coupe, while its lightweight aluminum frame bolstered efficiency. Equipped with advanced features such as regenerative braking, which transformed kinetic energy back into electricity to extend its range, the EV1's electric motor delivered impressive acceleration and boasted an admirable range on a single charge—especially considering the era's technological limitations.Although innovative in design and well-received by those fortunate enough to drive it, the EV1 faced challenges and controversies. Limited range, concerns over battery technology, and high production costs led GM to restrict EV1 production. Furthermore, the decision to lease rather than sell outright contributed to exclusivity and uncertainty among customers. Ultimately, in 2003, GM made the contentious decision to recall and crush most leased EV1s, sparking criticism from both EV enthusiasts and environmentalists.The reasons cited for the EV1's demise included high maintenance costs, challenges in servicing limited production vehicles, and a belief that advancements in hybrid technology would eclipse all-electric vehicles. Yet its legacy endures. The trailblazing EV1 reshaped perceptions about electric vehicles, showcasing their potential for sleekness, efficiency, and mainstream use. In doing so, it inspired other automakers to invest in electric technology.In retrospect, the GM EV1 set the stage for the electric vehicle revolution now sweeping the automotive industry. Lessons learned from the EV1 experience, both technologically and in terms of society's shift toward sustainable transportation, continue to influence modern electric cars. Today, electric vehicles are no longer a niche concept but a growing segment of the automotive market, and the EV1 played an indispensable role in igniting this transformation.www.nodrivinggloves.com#cars #car #collectorcars #oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #onthisday #NaPodPoMo #ev1 #ithappenedtoday #tesla
Live—from the campus of Hillsdale College in beautiful Hillsdale Michigan— this is Scot Bertram in for Steve on the Steve Gruber Show for –Wednesday November 15th 2023— —Here are 3 big things you need to know— Three— The new Speaker of the House wants Donald Trump to be president again. Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson told CNBC Tuesday that he is all in for Trump in 2024. The endorsement comes after Trump called Johnson a tremendous congressman respected by everybody when he was nominated for Speaker last month. Two— There appears to be a chance United Auto Workers members at General Motors plants might reject the tentative contract with the company. The UAW's vote tracker shows just 52-percent of the votes at those plants have been in favor of the deal, but about 20 factories have not submitted their results yet. Around 80-percent of Stellantis members have so far voted yes, and 60-percent of Ford UAW members have approved the tentative deal. And number one— A bipartisan group of senators is warning Iran not to turn the conflict in Gaza into a regional war. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham says the resolution introduced on Tuesday urges the U.S. to strike Iran if Americans are killed by Iranian proxies in the Middle East, or if Hezbollah opens up a second front against Israel. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are backed by Iran.

The smallest Volvo SUV ever might be the biggest in terms of impact in the United States and around the globe. With a suggested starting price of $34,950, Volvo EX30 could cause many American consumers to have second thoughts about buying a conventionally powered small SUV. With its strong safety ethos, the Swedish brand has made certain that the EX30 continues to carry that torch in addition to its zero-emissions environmental advantages — all at a price that many can afford. Host Jack Nerad had the chance to drive both single-motor and dual-motor versions of the EX30 in a manufacturer-sponsored event in Barcelona. While there, he sat down with Conny Perrson, the EX30 vehicle business manager, to discuss the philosophy behind the SUV. In the interview, Perrson shares his thoughts on why the new small EV will be such an important addition to the brand's global vehicle portfolio as it seeks to fulfill its goal of being a 100-percent battery-electric vehicle brand by 2030. In this episode's road test segment, Co-Host Chris Teague discusses his weeklong stint in the Hyundai Ioniq 6 battery-electric sedan. Bathed in evocative sheetmetal, the Ioniq 6 uses the same drivetrain as the Ioniq 5 small battery-electric SUV. The big question is how it will work for the four-person Teague family in the rigors of late fall in Maine. Our other road test this week is of a vehicle with which you might not be familiar — the 2023 Lexus RC 350 F. What's that, you ask? It's a shapely luxury sports coupe that offers increasing performance levels in its various trims. Host Nerad played the part of a retired aging Baby Boomer (very believably) as he shuttled the RC 350 F down freeways and up twisty back roads. He'll reveal what he found. In the news this week, auto sales suffered from the now-settled United Auto Workers strike against American Big 3 automakers just as vehicle supply began to catch up with demand. We'll tell you what that might mean for you if you plan to buy a car before the year ends. The move to self-driving cars took another blow this past week as General Motors hit the pause button on its driverless car operations. The bloom has come off the autonomous car rose at the same time that EV market share has begun to take a dip after a long upward climb. Could American consumers be growing tired of new tech? Again, we'll have our comments. Finally, there is a move afoot in some localities to ban one of our hallowed American driving traditions — the ability to make a legal right turn on a red light. Some say the practice puts pedestrians in harm's way. Others reply, “Balderdash!” You can guess which side we're on. America on the Road is brought to you by Driving Today.com, Mercury Insurance, YourTestDriver.com, and EMLandsea.com , the publisher of Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark, which is available HERE on Amazon.com

Leaving an established corporate gig to branch out on your own can seem daunting, and for many, the risk remains too high. In today's episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius chats with Jeffrey Schox, general partner at Trucks Venture Capital, and the founder of Schox Patent Group, a boutique patent firm focused on startups. Jeffrey started his career as an engineer on the original electric vehicle at General Motors before becoming a patent attorney for two of the largest patent law firms and eventually founding his own firm. You'll learn about Jeffrey's unusual background, from following his parents in the automotive industry to eventually striking out on his own as a patent attorney. You'll discover the power of giving and accepting help, and why passing a potential client to a more-qualified friend resulted in a flood of much-needed business for his struggling new firm. You'll learn why timing is an essential tool in determining the viability of an investment, whether it be in an invention or a company. You'll also discover Jeffrey's knack for taking a complicated idea, product, etc. and teasing out the differences to determine its future value. Join Darius and Jeffrey as they discuss the entrepreneurial path, timing and the power of giving and receiving. Topics include: A little of Jeffrey's background, including his work on the original electric car at General Motors and his eventual shift to patent law How handing over a potential client to a more qualified friend ended up being paid back in spades for his struggling firm Why an understanding of timing is vital when assessing a company / product to invest your resources in And other topics… Connect with Jeff: Website: https://www.schox.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jschox Twitter: https://twitter.com/jschox Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whoompdarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Learn more about your ad choices.

Ralph welcomes Craig Mokhiber, who just resigned his post as the director in the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights for the United Nations over the UN response to the bombing of Gaza. Then, we are joined by CODEPINK peace activist, Medea Benjamin, who was recently arrested at a hearing on Capitol Hill, featuring Secretary of State Antony Blinken, for protesting the weapons bill for Israel moving through Congress.Craig Mokhiber is lawyer and specialist in international human rights law, policy and methodology, and he has served the UN since 1992. Until his recent retirement, Mr. Mokhiber served as Director in the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). He has also served as the UN's Senior Human Rights Advisor in both Palestine and in Afghanistan, led the team of human rights specialists attached to the High Level Mission on Darfur, headed the Rule of Law and Democracy Unit, and served as Chief of the Economic and Social Issues Section, and Chief of the Development and Economic and Social Issues Branch at OHCHR Headquarters.What was really at the center of my letter was a sense that in the United Nations, international law had been subverted or pushed aside in favor of an approach to political expediency. That, first of all, ignored the norms and standards of human rights and humanitarian law. And secondly, it's failed miserably to improve the situation in Palestine and Israel.Craig MokhiberHamas is not just Hamas's armed wing. Hamas is also effectively a local government that provides services. Hamas is not supported by everyone in Gaza by any means. Palestinians who belong to many different parties have many different perspectives from liberal to conservative. And so, I think this continuous focus on Hamas and an effort to depict Hamas as ISIS, with all sorts of fantastical stories, is an intentional distraction away from the reality—which is the 2.3 million interned civilians in Gaza who have no say over what happens in their lives and who are on the receiving end of the Israeli bombs.Craig Mokhiber[This $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel] is being called the genocide tax on the American people— who I think if they were polled would say, “Let Israel pay for its own blunders on October 7th.”Ralph NaderMedea Benjamin is the co-founder of the women-led peace group CODEPINK and the co-founder of the human rights group Global Exchange. Her most recent book, coauthored with Nicolas J.S. Davies, is War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict.Many of us, for weeks, have been going into their offices, doing sit-ins in their offices, joining in with the constituents in their districts, and trying to get them to come out for a ceasefire— to no avail.Medea BenjaminIt's incredible the level of insanity of giving more money to Israel that could create a regional war there, continuing to fund (to the tune of $61 billion) the war in Ukraine that could lead to a regional war there, and then tacking on some more money to provoke China.Medea BenjaminCongress is behaving like an autocracy. It is blockading itself from the American people. It is putting its own power up for sale. It is ignoring the facts abroad. It's alienating huge portions of the world, and they don't care.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. President Biden is facing a collapse in his 2024 polling related to his blind support for the Israeli military. A Gallup poll shows Biden's disapproval rating among young people has hit nearly 60%, rivaling the collapse in support for LBJ as the Vietnam war dragged on. According to the same poll, Biden has dropped 11 points with Democrats overall since September. Among Muslim Americans, Time reports only 17% say they now plan to vote for Biden in 2024 – a steep decline from the 59% who voted for him in 2020.2. Many Democrats are sticking with Biden despite his deeply unpopular position on Gaza, but not Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who is Palestinian and represents a significant Muslim American population in her Michigan district. In a recent video made with Means TV, Tlaib signals “There is no excuse for Joe Biden's support of Israel's genocidal campaign in Palestine. Don't count on our vote in 2024.”3. On Monday, October 23rd, the AFL-CIO held a tense meeting of its executive council regarding Gaza. The New York Times reports “Mark Dimondstein, the president of the postal union, argued that Israel and…Palestin[e]…should be combined into a single state [and] called for the A.F.L.-C.I.O. to demand a cease-fire, according to four people familiar with the contents of the meeting.” He also described himself as “[an] anti-Zionist Jew.” Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, asserted “Israel's right to defend itself, [and] said she backed establishing an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel,” Noting “That has been part of the Democratic platform for as long as I can remember.” Mr. Dimondstein, responded that he is “not part of the Democratic Party.”4. The International Federation of Journalists reports that the West Bank shrine venerating Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh – murdered by an Israeli sniper who was never brought to justice in May 2022 – has been desecrated. IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger said “I have visited this site myself and know firsthand how important it had become to those who mourn Shireen's loss. It is hard to see this destruction as anything other than a cruel act of vengeance, of a kind that can only exacerbate tensions in Palestine. The sooner the ICC gives this case the attention it deserves, the better.”5. Anti-war sentiment is even taking hold in Israel itself. Israeli journalist Oren Ziv reported on an Israeli anti-war protest on October 28th, highlighting that this was the first such demonstration and that the protesters blocked roads near the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv. This comes as the situation within Israel grows increasingly tense, with reports of Palestinian students being trapped in a dorm at Netanya Academic College as an Israeli mob outside changed “death to Arabs,” per the Middle East Eye. 6. Even the Pope has weighed in on the growing violence, joining calls for a ceasefire. The pontiff issued a statement reading “Let the arms cease. Stop, brothers and sisters: war is always a defeat — always, always!”7. In major domestic news, the United Auto Workers union has triumphed in their strike against the Big Three automakers. On October 30th, UAW and General Motors reached a deal, following similar agreements being reached with Stellantis and Ford. Axios reports that details of these deals include “25% wage hikes over four and a half years…cost-of-living adjustments…[bringing top wages] over $42 an hour by 2028…[and eliminating the] despised two-tiered wage scale for newer hires,” all key demands of the striking workers. These deals also provide “permanent jobs for temp workers and boosts retirement income, including 401(k) contributions,” and protections for EV workers. Reuters quotes UAW President Shawn Fain saying “We wholeheartedly believe our strike squeezed every last dime out of General Motors…They underestimated us. They underestimated you."8. The Washington Post is out with a blockbuster new report on how payday loan firms have gone to war with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. According to the report, “Powerful financial firms that offer high-cost, short-term loans to poor Americans have blocked at least five federal investigations into their business practices since the start of last year, part of a broad and aggressive campaign by payday lenders to neuter or eliminate their chief watchdog agency in Washington.” These firms have fought the CFPB tooth and nail in the courts, successfully bringing a case to challenge the existence of the Bureau itself to the Supreme Court. As that case winds its way through the legal system, these firms have “cited the pending Supreme Court decision to slow ongoing CFPB investigations or fight off the agency's recent punishments.” Lisa Gilbert, the executive vice president of Public Citizen, which filed a briefing with the Supreme Court in defense of the CFPB, noted that “The really big-picture implication is all of the rules of the last 12 years could be called into question.”9. Finally, the Intercept reports progressive House Democrat Jim McGovern and conservative House Republican Thomas Massie are circulating a letter calling on President Biden to end the judicial persecution of WikiLeaks' Julian Assange. This letter emphasizes that “Deep concerns about this case have been repeatedly expressed by international media outlets, human rights and press freedom advocates,” and noted a previous letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland which stressed that “[e]very day that the prosecution of Julian Assange continues is another day that our own government needlessly undermines our own moral authority abroad and rolls back the freedom of the press under the First Amendment at home.” Hopefully this left-right coalition in favor of press freedom will prevail.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
