PRESS REVIEW – Friday, May 30: The papers react to Israel's new plans for settlements in the West Bank. Next, cannabis has been found in Haribo's iconic cola sour candy. Finally, a new "e-tattoo" device helps track mental workload. Israel has announced that it's expanding its settlements in the West Bank, in one of its biggest such moves in decades. The American TV channel CBS News says that the announcement has sparked global criticism. The article reminds us that the majority of the international community views settlements as illegal and as the main obstacle to resolving the Israel-Palestinian conflict. French left-wing paper Libération says that Israel is "sprinting to annex Palestinian territories". The paper writes that the new plan wants to "dismember" what's left of Palestine. The UK has also condemned the move, the British daily The Independent says. It cites Britain's Middle East minister Hamish Falconer, who wrote on X that the 22 new settlements are a "deliberate obstacle to Palestinian statehood" and that they "further imperil the two-state solution". An opinion piece in Israeli left-wing paper Haaretz writes about the West Bank's "bulletproof vest theory, calling it "not only wrong, but dangerous". The theory encapsulates the idea that settlements serve as a barrier against terror attacks. The opinion piece says that this shifts the blame from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies. The paper dives deep into past examples of why the theory didn't work and concludes that "[today,] the goal of the settlement enterprise isn't security but to create pretexts for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians".We turn next to the Netherlands, where an uncommon ingredient has been found in sweets. The Dutch paper De Volkskrant reports that cannabis has been found in bags of Haribo cola candy. Several people, including children, felt dizzy and had health complaints after eating the sweets. Some 8,000 kilograms have been recalled. The British daily The Guardian adds that drug smugglers are increasingly using children's candy as a cover-up. They sometimes inject THC into the candy and make THC copies of popular brands that can be found online. Finally, researchers have found a new way to track mental workload. The Guardian reports on a new device called an e-tattoo that can be attached to a person's head. It's a "real-time mental workload decoder" that can warn people they need a rest before it's too late. The e-tattoo is lightweight and wireless, the paper explains. It is made from a thin conductive material and electrodes that detect stress. Researchers say it could be very useful for pilots and healthcare workers, for instance, where it's crucial to prevent fatal incidents caused by extreme fatigue or stress.You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

This happens every so often, and increasingly as the US empire expanded.

Biden will be at Morehouse in two weeks. Between now and then, so much is poised to happen.They've literally unleashed police on college students, faculty, observers, and anyone whom the police want to harm. There is no legal justification; this is pure repression. And mass commercial “news” outlets are pushing pure propaganda, no doubt at the behest of owners.Meanwhile, student journalists like at Columbia and UPenn and independent outlets are pushing back. The International Court of Justice could issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu any time now. Israel has seen Columbia and Turkey move to break diplomatic and trade ties. And in Haiti, the attempt to install another US-France-Canada backed interim prime minister has been met with widespread derision.The “elites” (the moneyed and privileged) have lost the power to control the narrative and have dropped all pretenses that they are doing anything other than attempting to suppress by any means necessary.And the end of the school year isn't going to help.

The Conflicted Community returns with another episode on the complex and multifaceted Israel-Palestinian conflict, focusing on the ideological dimensions that shape perceptions and identities. This time, Thomas invites on Tom Khaled Werdemann, a PhD candidate at the Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Heidelberg in Germany on the perspective of Palestinian intellectuals towards Israel between 1960 and 2000. He teaches there and at a German police college, and the central focus of his research is Jewish-Arab relations and Zionism in the Arab world. In this episode they explore the historical roots of Palestinian antisemitism, the impact of European ideologies on it, and the intersection of leftist and right-wing antisemitism. Through this they delve into the complex relationship between leftist ideologies and anti-Semitism, exploring how these themes intersect and influence contemporary political discourse, highlighting the nuances of Zionism, Palestinian nationalism, and the broader implications of these ideologies as they manifest in global symbols and conflicts.

Following the Trump administration's decision to revoke $400 million in federal funding over Columbia University's failure to protect Jewish students, the university announced sweeping policy changes. Meanwhile, the U.S. moved to deport former Columbia student and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, accusing him of concealing his ties to UNRWA and participating in antisemitic campus protests. Dr. Laura Shaw Frank, Director of AJC's Center for Education Advocacy, joins People of the Pod to discuss the delicate balance between combating antisemitism, safeguarding free speech, and ensuring campuses remain safe for all students. ___ Resources: Leaders for Tomorrow: AJC's Flagship Leadership Development Initiative for High School Students AJC Supports Action on Antisemitism, Warns Against Overly Broad Funding Cuts Guidance and Programs for Higher Education Spaces The State of Antisemitism in America 2024 Report AJC Statement on ICE Proceeding Against Mahmoud Khalil Listen – AJC Podcasts: -The Forgotten Exodus: with Hen Mazzig, Einat Admony, and more. -People of the Pod: Spat On and Silenced: 2 Jewish Students on Fighting Campus Hate Meet the MIT Scientists Fighting Academic Boycotts of Israel Will Ireland Finally Stop Paying Lip Service When it Comes to Combating Antisemitism?

If you're the parent of a Jewish high school student, you've probably asked yourself, "How can I help my teen feel proud and prepared to lead in today's world?" Well, that's exactly what AJC's Leaders for Tomorrow program, or LFT, is all about. LFT gives Jewish teens the tools to navigate challenging conversations and advocAte about antisemitism and Israel—whether in the classroom, online, or in their community spaces. Our monthly deep-dive sessions into the issues faced by Jews - both historically and today - become the place where LFT students find community, build confidence, and strengthen their Jewish identity. If your teen is ready to expand their understanding of what it means to be a Jewish leader — have them visit AJC.org/LFT to learn more. Let's give them the tools they need to step up, speak out, and lead with pride. Again, that's AJC.org/LFT. Manya Brachear Pashman: Three federal agencies said this week that they welcomed the policy changes that Columbia University announced Friday, following the Trump administration's revocation of $400 million in federal funding. The government recalled the funding in response to the university's failure to enforce its own rules to protect Jewish students after the terror attacks of October 7, 2023. Masked protesters of the Israel Hamas War spewed antisemitic rhetoric, built encampments that blocked students from attending classes and, in some cases, took over classes. Also this week, the government announced new charges against Mahmoud Khalil, an Algerian citizen and green card holder here in the United States, and a former Columbia University graduate student who was detained due to his activism on campus. International students on other campuses also have been detained in the weeks since. As a community that values academic freedom, as well as freedom of expression, and democracy, how do we balance those values with the importance of fighting antisemitism and making sure our campuses are safe for Jewish students? With me to discuss this balancing act is Laura Shaw Frank, director of the AJC Center for Education Advocacy and director of AJC's Department of Contemporary Jewish Life. Laura, welcome to People of the Pod. Laura Shaw Frank: Thanks, Manya. Good to be with you. Manya Brachear Pashman: So let's start with the issue of Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. He was detained due to his activism on campus. And we're learning from government this week that he reportedly did not disclose that he was a member of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNWRA) as a political officer. And he was also part of Colombia's Apartheid Divest movement when he applied to become a permanent resident in 2024. He was taken into custody, though, in a very troubling way. And frankly, he was one of the few who didn't conceal his identity during the protests and encampments. He negotiated with the University. What is AJC's stance on this? Laura Shaw Frank: Great question Manya, and it deserves a very, very careful and nuanced answer. So I want to start by saying that AJC, as it has always done, is striving enormously to remain the very nuanced and careful voice that we always have about every issue, and particularly about the issues that we're talking about here, which are so so fraught in a moment that is so so fraught. AJC issued a statement that we published on X and on our website that talked about the fact that we deplore so many of Mahmoud Khalil's views and actions. And at the same time, it is critically important that the government follow all rules of due process and protections of free expression that we have in our country. And I wanted to emphasize, while I am an attorney, my law degree is incredibly rusty, and I'm not going to pretend to know all the legal ins and outs here, but I do know this, that free speech does attach, even for non-citizens in this country. So we're trying to express a very careful position here. It is possible that Khalil needs to be deported. It is very possible. What has to happen, though, is a trial with due process that is open, transparent and legal. And once those factual findings are determined, if it is the case that Khalil has violated United States law, and has provided material support for terror, and I know the government is actually no longer relying on that particular statute, or has endangered US interests, I don't remember exactly the language that the statute has, but endangered US interests, then he can be deported. But we want to make sure that even as we deplore so much of what he has stood for--he's been the spokesperson for Columbia University Apartheid Divest, which is sort of an umbrella organization for many, many other student organizations at Columbia, including Students for Justice in Palestine, which was banned from campus, and some other groups which have espoused terribly antisemitic and anti-Israel views and actions on campus. They have engaged in protest activity that has been at times violent and exclusionary of Jewish students. There's a lot to be horrified by there. And even as we abhor all of that, we love America, we love due process, we love democracy, and we feel very fiercely that those norms have to be upheld, and we hope that the government will uphold them. We expressed that concern because of the circumstances of his detention, and we're watching the case closely. Manya Brachear Pashman: We also have the government threatening to cancel about $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia. This is a separate matter, but those cuts could include funding for scholarship and research and law. Education and health care. You know, a number of students and scholars alike are very afraid that this could backfire, if indeed, this is done at other universities across the country, in the name of protecting Jewish students. That the backlash could actually hurt the Jewish community. Do you think that there is some credence to that? And if so, how do we prevent that? Laura Shaw Frank: It's a great question, so I want to stop for a second before I answer the question, and talk a little bit about the position AJC has taken with respect to the $400 million. We issued a statement, a letter to the government, to the task force, about the $400 million. Where we, again, expressed our enormous gratitude to the administration for shining a light on antisemitism and for taking it seriously. Which it needs to be taken incredibly seriously in this moment. And we fear that it has not been taken seriously enough until this moment, so we're very grateful that the administration is taking it seriously. And at the same time, we expressed our concern about the $400 million dollars being withheld because of what that $400 million will fund. That $400 million is largely funding for research, scientific and medical research, and we know that in this moment, there is a great deal of research money that is being withheld in various places in this country from universities that is funding really critical research. Pediatric brain cancer, Parkinson's disease, COVID. Whatever it is, that research is incredibly important. So we want to make sure that even as the government is doing the good work of shining a light on antisemitism and ensuring that our higher education institutions are not harboring and fostering atmospheres of antisemitism. We want to make sure that they are simultaneously not using a hatchet rather than a scalpel in order to attack the problem. We are keenly aware that much of the most antisemitic discourse that occurs on campus among faculty is discourse that comes out of humanities departments and not generally out of science, research, medicine departments. And it feels wrong to perhaps be withholding the funds from those who are not the problem. Generally, humanities departments don't get hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from the federal government. The research that they do is of a different scale. It's less expensive. Frankly, they don't have to run labs, so the funding is really mostly in that medical and science realm. So I wanted to just start by saying that, and would definitely encourage folks to take a look at the letter that AJC sent to the task force. With respect to your question about whether this is going to backfire against the Jewish community. It is definitely a concern that we've thought about at AJC. There have been many moments in Jewish history where Jews have become scapegoats for policies of governments, or policies in a society, or failures of a society. I'm thinking of two in this particular moment that are just popping into my head. One of them was the Khmelnytsky massacres in 1648 and 49. I know that sounds like a long time ago, but feels kind of relevant. When Jews, who were representing the nobles in exchanges with peasants, collecting taxes, things of that nature, were attacked and murdered in tens of thousands. And Jews were really, you know, was there antisemitism involved? Absolutely. Were Jews being scapegoated for rage against nobles? Also, absolutely. So I'm thinking about that. I'm also thinking about the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany in the 1920s and 30s, where this myth of the German population being stabbed in the back by the Jews who quote, unquote, made them lose World War I–which is, of course, obscene and ridiculous–led the way for Nazi ideology finding a foothold in German society. So I'm thinking of those moments when Jews became a scapegoat. And I'm keenly aware of how much our universities rely on research dollars to do their work, and also the anger that so many who are working in that space must be feeling in this moment. It does make me fearful to think that those who are working in the research and those who need the research, you know, people who are struggling with health issues, people who are relying on cutting edge research to help them, could say, No, this is all the Jews' fault. It's all because of them. They're causing the government to do this and that. You know, it feeds into that antisemitism trope of control. I do worry about the Jews becoming the target. What should we do about that? I think it's very important for us to have the open lines of communication that we're grateful to have with government officials, with elected officials and appointed officials in the Administration and across the aisle in Congress, with Democratic and Republican elected officials. I think it's important for them to understand, at least, you know, from AJC's perspective, that we hope that as they continue to shine that very important spotlight on antisemitism, and continue to ensure that we hold our institutions of higher education to the standard which they must be held to, taking antisemitism very seriously and combating it with all of their power and strength. That at the same time, we want to make sure that the strategies that the government is using to address this issue are strategies that will truly address the problem. And we hope that our statements, our transparency about our stance, will help this country see the views of the Jewish community in this moment. That there are diverse views in the Jewish community, that we do care deeply about the success of higher education, about the success and the importance of research dollars, and that we also care deeply that the administration is taking antisemitism seriously. So really trying to hold that very special AJC nuance. Manya Brachear Pashman: I know AJC offers an entire package of strategies to combat antisemitism in many different arenas, including university campuses. And I want to take a look at some of the changes that Columbia announced in response to the government's threats to cut funds, to restore those funds. They said that they would make it easier to report harassment and enable the provost to deal with disciplinary action against students who are involved in protests. These seem to reflect some of the strategies that AJC has shared, Yes? Laura Shaw Frank: Yes, for sure. I want to say, before I respond, that there seems to be a bit of murkiness right now, as we are recording, regarding sort of where some of the some of the agreement stands. So I'm just going to just note that, that it could be that by the time we air this episode, things will be different. But AJC's strategy for higher education administrators, which could be found on our website, and you can probably link to that in the show notes too, calls for very clear codes of conduct. Calls for enforcement, clear enforcement of those codes of conduct. We don't specifically say where discipline should be situated, because every university has a different kind of plan for how, how that should be situated. And I know that's an issue that appears to be ongoingly unclear between the government and Columbia right now, so I'm not going to say where that's landing. It's not clear to me where it's landing, yet. But there's no question that the kinds of asks that the federal government or demands, really that the federal government has made of Columbia, are demands that are rooted in the same issues that we have highlighted on campus. So there's this issue of discipline. Not just codes of conduct, but also the enforcement of codes of conduct. We've seen very often, including at Columbia, that there are rules that are on the books, but they're not actually enforced in reality. And they're useless if they're not enforced in reality. So that's one thing that we have been very clear about in our plan. We also have encouraged universities to think about faculty, to think about the role that faculty plays on a campus, and that's also been a part of the Columbia agreement with the federal government. Again, this is a little bit murky, still, but the federal government had asked for the Middle East and African Studies Department, maybe Asian Studies. I'm not sure exactly what the title of the department is to be put in receivership. That is a very extreme thing that can be done. Universities do it if a department is completely failing in whatever way. They could put it in receivership, give it over to somebody else to head. And it seems, at least as of this moment, that what Columbia has done is appoint a new Vice President who is going to oversee studies in the Middle East and Jewish studies, but it's not really exactly receivership. So I'm not going to opine on what they've done, but what I will opine on is what AJC is asking campuses to do in this moment. We've alluded to it in our campus plan that we have up on the website, but we are going to shortly be issuing updated guidance specifically about how we think universities should be addressing the issue of faculty members who are creating an atmosphere that's making Jews feel harassed, or that they're advancing antisemitism. Our State of Antisemitism Report that was released about a month and a half ago showed that, I think it's 32% of students felt that their faculty members were advancing an antisemitic atmosphere or an atmosphere that was harassing of them. And I want to be clear that obviously this is a question of feel, right? We ask the students, do you feel that way? And we know that feelings are not empirical data. Every person has their own set of feelings. And what some students might feel is antisemitic. Other students might say, no, no, that's not antisemitic. That's simply a different viewpoint. That's a perfectly legitimate viewpoint. So with that caveat, I want to say that we're very concerned about that statistic, and we do think that it reflects a reality on campus, specifically on campuses like Columbia. And what we are asking universities to do at this moment is to think really carefully about how they're talking to faculty. How are they professionalizing their faculty? Our Director of Academic Affairs, Dr. Sara Coodin, has been working a great deal on coming up with a plan of what we would like to ask universities to work on in this moment, to work on the summer when they have some downtime. How are they going to talk to their faculty, especially emerging faculty, TA's,graduate students and young, untenured faculty about what their responsibilities are. What are their responsibilities to have classrooms with multiple viewpoints? What are their responsibilities to not treat their classrooms as activist spaces for their own political ideologies? What are their responsibilities to not require students to take actions that are political in nature. Such as, we're going to hold class in the encampment today, or I'm canceling class in order for students to go to protest. Those are not appropriate. They are not responsible actions on the part of faculty. They do not fall under the category of academic freedom, they're not responsible. So academic freedom is a very wide ranging notion, and it's really important. I do want to emphasize very important. We do want faculty members to have academic freedom. They have to be able to pursue the research, the thinking that they do pursue without being curtailed, without being censored. And at the same time, faculty has that privilege, and they also do have responsibilities. And by the way, we're not the only ones who think that. There are national organizations, academic organizations, that have outlined the responsibilities of faculty. So as we kind of look at this issue with Columbia, the issue of those departments that are the government has asked for receivership, and Columbia has appointed this vice president, the issue that we would like to sort of home in on is this issue of: what are we doing to ensure that we are creating campuses where faculty understand their role in pedagogy, their role in teaching, their role in upholding University spaces that are places of vibrant dialog and discourse–and not activism for the professor's particular viewpoints. Manya Brachear Pashman: I'm curious, there's been a lot of talk about Columbia failing its Jewish students, and these measures, these threats from the government are really the government's way of trying to repair that. Trying to motivate Columbia to to fix that and serve its Jewish students. But I'm curious if it's not just the Jewish students that Columbia is failing by not protecting Jewish students. In what ways are–and not just Columbia, but–universities in general failing students in this moment, maybe even students including Mahmoud Khalil? Laura Shaw Frank: I'm so glad you asked that question. I think it's such an important question. We look at universities, at the Center for Education Advocacy, and I think that so many Americans look at universities this way, as places where we are growing the next generation of citizens. Not even the next, they are citizens, many of them, some of them are foreign students and green card holders, et cetera. But we're raising the next generation of Americans, American leadership in our university and college spaces. And we believe so firmly and so strongly that the ways that antisemitism plays out on campus are so intertwined with general notions of anti-democracy and anti-civics. And that solving antisemitism actually involves solving for these anti-democratic tendencies on certain campuses. And so we do firmly believe that the universities are failing all students in this moment. What we need as a society, as we become more and more polarized and more and more siloed, what we need universities to do is help us come together, is: help us think about, what are the facts that we can discuss together, debate together, even as we have different interpretations of those facts. Even if we have different opinions about where those facts should lead us. How do we discuss the issues that are so problematic in our society? How will we be able to solve them? And that, for antisemitism, plays out in a way about, you know, Jewish students are a tiny minority, right, even on campuses where there's a large Jewish population. What does large look like? 10, 15%? On some campuses it's more than that, but it's still quite small. And Jews are two and a half percent of American society. So Jews are a minority. It's very important for us to be in spaces where different views will be included, where different opinions are on the table. Additionally, of course, discourse about Israel is so important to Jews, and we know from the Pew study and from our AJC studies that four in five Jews, over 80% of Jews, see Israel as important to their Jewish identity. So discourse on campus about Israel that ends up being so one-sided, so ignoring of facts and realities, and so demonizing of Israel and of Zionists and of the Jewish people, that's not healthy for Jews and fosters enormous antisemitism, and it simultaneously is so detrimental, and dangerous for all of us. It's not solely discourse about Israel that is at issue. It is any time that a university is sending faculty members into the classroom who are all of the same mindset, who all have the same attitude, who are all teaching the same views and not preparing young people with the ability to debate and come up with their own views. Fact-based views, not imaginary views, fact-based views. That's incredibly, incredibly important. One other piece that I want to mention, that I think when campuses fail to enforce their rules, why they're damaging not just Jewish students, but all students. When you think about a campus that has their library taken over by protesters, or their classrooms taken over by protesters, or the dining hall being blocked by protesters. That's not just preventing Jewish students from accessing those university facilities. It's preventing all students. Students are on campus to learn, whether they're in a community college, a state university, a small liberal arts college, a private university, whatever it is, they are there to learn. They are paying tuition, in many cases, tens of thousands of dollars, close to $100,000 in tuition in some places, to learn and for these students to have the ability to take away other students' ability to learn is a way that the university is failing all of its students. That has to be stopped. Manya Brachear Pashman: You talked about using classroom space, using library space, as you know, co-opting it for protest purposes or to express particular points of view. But what about the quad? What about the open space on campus? You know, there appears to be, again, it's still murky, but there appears to be an outright ban now on protests on Columbia's campus. Is that a reasonable approach or should campuses have some sort of vehicle for demonstration and expression, somewhere on its property? Laura Shaw Frank: Absolutely, campuses should allow for protest. Protest is a right in America. Now, private campuses do not have to give students the right to protest, because that's private space. The government isn't allowed to infringe on protests, so public universities would not be able to do that. But most private campuses have adopted the First Amendment and hold by it on their campuses, including Columbia. It is critically important that students, faculty members, anyone in American society, be permitted to peacefully protest. What can be done in order to keep campuses functional, and what many campuses have done, is employ time, place, and manner restrictions. That's a phrase that probably a lot of our listeners have heard before. You're not allowed to curtail speech–which, protest is, of course, a form of speech–you're not allowed to curtail speech based on a particular viewpoint. You can't say, these people are allowed to talk, but those people, because we don't like their opinion, they're not allowed to talk. But what you can do is have something that is viewpoint-neutral. So time, place and manner restrictions are viewpoint neutral. What does that mean? It means that you can say, on a campus, you're allowed to protest, but it's only between 12 and 1pm on the south quad with no megaphones, right? That's time, place, manner. I believe, and I think we all at AJC believe, that protests should be allowed to happen, and that good, solid time, place, and manner restrictions should be put into place to ensure that those protests are not going to prevent, as we just talked about, students from accessing the resources on campus they need to access, from learning in classrooms. There was a protest at Columbia that took place in a classroom, which was horrifying. I have to tell you that even the most left wing anti-Israel professors tweeted, posted on X against what those students did. So campuses can create those time, place and manner restrictions and enforce them. And that way, they're permitting free speech. And this is what the Supreme Court has held again and again. And at the same time, prevented protesters from kind of destroying campus, from tearing it all down. And I think that that's really the way to go. Some campuses, by the way, have created spaces, special spaces for protest, like, if you're going to protest, you have to do it in the protest quarter, whatever it is, and I think that's a really good idea. I'm an alum of Columbia, so I know how small Columbia's campus is. That might not work on Columbia's campus, but certainly time, place, and manner restrictions are critical, critical to campus safety and peace in this moment, and critical to protect the rights of all students, including Jewish students. Manya Brachear Pashman: And on the topic of protests, as I was reading up on the latest developments, I saw a student quoted, she was quoted saying, ‘It's essentially going to ban any protest that it thinks is antisemitic slash pro-Palestine. I guess we're mixing up those words now.' And I cringed, and I thought, No, we're not. And what are universities doing to educate their students on that difference? Or is that still missing from the equation? Laura Shaw Frank: So I actually want to start, if I may, not in universities, but in K-12 schools. The Center for Education Advocacy works with people across the education spectrum, starting in kindergarten and going all the way through graduate school. And I think that's so important, because one of the things we hear from the many university presidents that we are working with in this moment is: we can't fix it. We are asking our K-12 schools to engage in responsible education about the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and we have particular curricular providers that we recommend for them to use in this moment, I want to say that they are terrified to do that, and I understand why they're terrified to do that. Everyone is worried that the minute they open their mouth, they're going to be attacked by some person or another, some group or another. And I get that. And I also believe, as do the presidents of these universities believe, that we cannot send students to campus when this issue is such a front burner issue. We cannot send students to campus with no ability to deal with it, with no framework of understanding, with no understanding of the way social media is playing with all of us. That education has to take place in K-12 spaces. So I wanted to say that first. And now I'll talk about campus. Universities are not yet there at all, at all, at all, with talking about these issues in a nuanced and careful and intelligent way. We can never be in a position where we are conflating antisemitism and pro-Palestinian. That is simply ridiculous. One can be a very proud Zionist and be pro-Palestinian, in the sense of wanting Palestinians to have self determination, wanting them to be free, to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. AJC has long, long been on the books supporting a two-state solution, which I believe is pro-Palestinian in nature. Even as we have very few people who are also in the Middle East who are pro two-state solution in this moment. And I understand that. Education of students to be able to think and act and speak responsibly in this moment means helping students understand what the differences are between being pro-Palestinian and being antisemitic. I'm thinking about phrases like ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,' which lands on Jewish ears, as we know from research that's been done at the University of Chicago, lands on the majority of Jewish ears as genocidal in nature. I'm thinking about phrases like 'globalize the Intifada,' which also lands on Jewish ears in a very particular way is targeting them, us, and education needs to take place to help students understand the way certain phrases the way certain language lands with Jews and why it lands that way, and how antisemitism plays out in society, and at the same time, education has to take place so students understand the conflict that's going on in the Middle East. They might think about having debates between different professors, faculty members, students, that are open to the public, open to all, students that present this nuanced and careful view, that help people think through this issue in a careful and educated way. I also think that universities should probably engage in perhaps requiring a class. And I know some universities have started to do this. Stanford University has started to do this, and others as well, requiring a class about responsible speech. And what I mean by that is: free speech is a right. You don't have to be responsible about it. You can be irresponsible. It's a right. What does it mean to understand the impact of your words? How do we use speech to bring people together? How do we use speech to build bridges instead of tear people apart? So I think those are two ways that universities could look at this moment in terms of education. Manya Brachear Pashman: Anything I haven't asked you, Laura, that you think needs to be addressed in this murky moment? Laura Shaw Frank: I hope that our listeners and everyone who's following the stories on campus right now can take a breath and think carefully and in a nuanced way about what's going on and how they're going to speak about what's going on. I hope that people can see that we can hold two truths, that the government is shining a necessary light on antisemitism, at the same time as universities are very concerned, as are we about some of the ways that light is being shined, or some of the particular strategies the government is using. It is so important in this moment where polarization is the root of so many of our problems, for us not to further polarize the conversation, but instead to think about the ways to speak productively, to speak in a forward thinking way, to speak in a way that's going to bring people together toward the solution for our universities and not further tear us all apart. Manya Brachear Pashman: Thank you so much for this conversation, Laura, it is one that I have been wanting to have for a while, and I think that you are exactly the right person to have it with. So thank you for just really breaking it down for us. Laura Shaw Frank: Thank you so much, Manya.

Ron, welcome to people of the pod. Thank you for being here Ron Kampeas: Of course. Julie Fishman Rayman: Well, I'd like to start in asking you if you have a sense about the Jewish vote, because there have been a number of different exit polls, which, I guess, not surprisingly, because exit polls are what they are, say vastly different things. There are some that say it's the biggest Jewish vote in support for a Democratic candidate ever, and then also the highest percentage ever for a Republican candidate. What do we know to be true? And what would you sort of be looking at in terms of, you know, as we're examining this moving forward? What are we looking for? Ron Kampeas: So first of all, I know I've seen those very extreme assessments as well, and I know what they're based on, and even when what based on what they're based on, and we, I'll talk about that too. That's just not correct. So they're talking about a 79% turnout, according to a poll the consortium of a number of organizations like the CNN and the New York Times. And that poll is not reliable yet. It does show 79% and think 21% in other words, an even split. Nobody seemed to have voted for at least among the Jews for third party candidates. And I'm not sure what number of Jews who were included in that poll were. I mean, it's a vast, vast poll. They do talk to a lot of people, but even they will say, and I think they put it on their things, that it's just preliminary, the more reliable analysis is considered to be the one that came out of the Fox AP analysis that showed 66% 67% for Paris, 32% 31% for Trump. And I think that's what the Trump people are talking about in terms of the highest for Republicans. It's just not the highest for Republican. I think if you count in the margin of error, that's not even like recently the highest for a Republican. Nothing's changed in the last four years. I think what it is showing is that whereas Republicans, when I started at JTA in 2004 they were happy to get 25% they've gone up from 19% with George W Bush in 2020 to 25% with John Kerry a few years later, now they can comfortably say they're getting about 30% of the Jewish community. People love to attach everything that happens to the very current politics of the day. So however you count it, nothing seems to have changed. Julie Fishman Rayman: So interesting, because for I think a lot of Jews around America, we feel as though so much has changed. But when you go to the voting booth, Jews consistently aren't necessarily thinking just about either Israel or antisemitism, AJC does a survey looking at American Jewish opinion, not every year, but almost every year. And we did it in June, and asked questions about political affiliation. Who are you going to vote for? And one of the things that we asked was, what drives your vote, and foreign policy is always low down on the list. On election night, CNN asked that same question, of course, to all Americans, and I think 4% said that their vote was driven by foreign policy. Has there been a moment where the American Jewish vote is more focused on issues that feel perhaps a bit more parochial. Ron Kampeas: No, certainly within the Orthodox subset, and it's always difficult to tell, because it's the smaller the subset, the bigger the margin of error. But when there's consistency over time and survey after survey after survey, I think you can conclude that, yes, Orthodox Jews do attach. Of more importance to the US Israel relationship and how it's manifesting, how they're perceiving it. The only time that a Democrat, at least since FDR, I think, a Democrat, didn't receive a majority of the Jewish vote was Jimmy Carter, who, in 1980 got a plurality of the Jewish one, I think, about 45%. People sort of conflate things in their head. In his post presidency, Carter became very identified with being very critical of Israel, and it's true, in 1980 he'd had difficult relationships with Menachem Begin, but he brokered the most important peace treaty in Israeli history. He saved a lot of lives. So I don't think people were feeling bad about Carter in 1980 because of Israel. I like to tell people, Jews are like everybody else. You know it's true that a majority of us vote for Democrats, and there are other subsets where, like a majority vote for Republican more majority for Democrats, but we vote for the same reasons as everybody else. Our votes will get more enthusiastic for a Democrat on one circumstance, just like everybody else's will, or might get less enthusiastic just like everybody else's will. We're susceptible to the same things. Julie Fishman Rayman: It's really interesting. So at this moment, there's so much Monday morning quarterbacking happening, and I don't want to look too far in the rear view, but I do want to ask you for your take on this question of, would the result have been different had the Vice President selected Shapiro, Governor, Shapiro from Pennsylvania, as her running mate. Ron Kampeas: Maybe it's hard to say vice presidents have had such a little impact on nominations. But on the other hand, Pennsylvania was close enough, and Shapiro is popular enough that perhaps it might have made the difference. She might have had Pennsylvania, and then if she had Pennsylvania, I don't know, she would have gotten to 270 but you know, Nevada and Arizona are still being counted. They might still go in her column. If they do go in her column, although I don't think they will, I think it looks like they're going to go into Trump's column if Nevada and Arizona go into her column and she missed out on Pennsylvania, you could say that her decision to go with Tim Walz instead of Josh Shapiro was faithful. On the other hand, everybody's a cynic. Nobody actually believes anything anybody says. But I tried to get away from that. I try not to be too much of a cynic. And when Josh Shapiro said afterwards that he had second thoughts about taking other thing because he's he's like a hugely successful governor so far in Pennsylvania is this is two years into his first term. You know, if I'm Josh Shapiro, I'm thinking about my legacy, and I'm thinking about running for president in the future and two years, just, yeah, I'm not going to make an impact in Pennsylvania in just two years. If I'm the 60% governor who can get Republicans to vote for me in the middle of the state, I'm thinking two terms will make me like, well, you know, get me a statue in some building at one point, there's this whole narrative that there was an anti semitic pushback. It was an anti semitic pushback against Shapiro. It was anti-Israel at times. I really believe it did cross over antisemitism. I'm not sure that that had the effect on the Harris campaign in terms of its decision making. She clicked with Tim Wallz. Shapiro wasn't so eager. Shapiro was going to be a co president. Walls wanted to be a vice president. He made that very clear. He had no intentions of ever running for the presidency. So if you're a Harris, do you want to have a Dan Quayle, or do you want to have a Dick Cheney kind of thing? You know as somebody who who's prone to take over, or somebody who's prone to do what needs to be done to be vice president. And obviously she preferred the latter. Julie Fishman Rayman: It's a great analogy. Can we talk for a minute about sort of Jewish representation in Congress where Israel was on the ballot? What are your perceptions there? Ron Kampeas: I think that it might have made a difference in Mark 17th, where Mike Lawler defeated Mondair Jones. Mondair Jones was perceived when he first ran into 2020, and he was elected. He was perceived initially as somebody who would be very different from Nita Lowey, who he was replacing because she's a very solid, long time pro-Israel and an AJC board member and an AJC board member. He actually declared before she retired, so he was a little bit confrontational with her, which happens, obviously, I don't know if Israel came up in that equation, though young progressive people thought he'd be a squatter, but he wasn't. In his two years in Congress, he wasn't a member of the squad, and he went out of his way to align with the pro-Israel community, and this because it was so important in his district. But Lawler is just like he's been. He's a freshman, but he's been out front. He's been very good at cultivating the Jewish people in his district. And he's not just led on a number of Israel issues, but he's always made sure to do it in a bipartisan way, partnering with Jared Moskowitz in Florida, or Josh got him or in New Jersey, and you know, that might have helped him in the district. It was a close race. He won by a close margin. So I think maybe that was definitely a factor there. I think that one of the group's decision desk that declares winners just declared for Jackie Rosen in Nevada. She's been reelected, according to them, but we'll wait. We'll see if and when AP calls it. But again, a state with a substantial Jewish population, she is, like, one of the premier Democrats. She's Jewish, but she also is like, very, very upfront about Israel. She co chairs an antisemitism Task Force. She has a bill that would designate a domestic antisemitism coordinator. So in such a close race or such close margins with the Jewish community, that's actually much larger than the margin that might have helped put her over the top. On the other side, you. Know, you have Michigan, which might have also, like we looked at Pennsylvania and Josh Shapiro, Michigan also might have cost Kamala Harris the presidency because of her support for Israel, because, you know, President Trump managed to peel away Muslim American and Arab American voters in in Michigan, in a kind of a weird slate of hand, because he said that he would be more pro their issue than Kamala Harris was, even though he's more pro Netanyahu, definitely than Kamala Harris is. But also, there were third party voters, people who voted for Jill Stein. Julie Fishman Rayman: Pretty significant numbers for Jill Stein from Michigan. Ron Kampeas: Pretty significant numbers for Jill Stein. But Elissa Slotkin over the top, very pro Israel, centrist Democrat Jewish. Very much a foreign policy, you know, specialist. She came out of the CIA and the Defense Department. Also very partisan. She was meeting with red constituents, like veterans, and she was doing a good job of it. She had that appeal. And I think that's why she ran for Senate. I think that's where Democrats are excited to have her run for Senate. And then October 7 happened, and she had to navigate a very difficult situation in her state, which has a substantial Jewish community, has an even bigger Muslim American and Arab American community. She had meetings with both leaders. She put out sensitive statements after the meetings. I think one of the most interesting sort of developments with her is that Rashida Tlaib, the Palestinian American Congresswoman attacked Dana Nessel for prosecuting people who were violent were allegedly violent at protests. She put out a statement that, without saying it was because Dana Ness was Jewish, she was said that Dana Nessel had other sort of considerations. When she brought these prosecutions, Dana Nessel outright accused her of antisemitism, and then Rashida Tlaib was the subject of a lot of Islamophobic, anti Palestinian vitriol. And it was interesting because there were two letters that went out at the time from Congress members, one condemning anything that insinuated that Dana Nessel had dual loyalties, or anything like that, and one condemning the anti Islamic rhetoric that Rashida clade faced, and the only person who signed both letters was Alyssa Slotkin. That was interesting. Julie Fishman Rayman: I want to to turn a little bit if we can, to the expectations for for the next administration, even for the next Congress. When we last spoke, right after the Republican National Convention, JD Vance had been selected as the running mate, and you and I, we talked about what that means for a Trump foreign policy in the next administration. Will it go in a more isolationist direction, more aligning with JD Vance's world view? What do you think now and what might we expect? Ron Kampeas: But still a potential for sure, there are names being rooted about for Secretary of State. One of them is Rick Grinnell, who's completely a Trumpist, who will do what he wants, his former Acting CIA director. And the other is Marco Rubio, gave one of the best speeches at the convention, I thought, and who is very close to the pro Israel community, who's an internationalist, but who has tailored his rhetoric to be more to make sure he doesn't antagonize Donald Trump. He was, you know, he was a came close to being the vice presidential pick himself. I mean, if Marco Rubio becomes Secretary of State, I think that's a good sign for internationalists. I mean, you know, Israel has kind of a buffer, because the Republican Party is very pro Israel. And there are people like JD Vance says, who say, you know, Israel is the exception when it comes to what I think about pulling United States back from the world, even though he says it's not so much the exception. And then there are people like Marco Rubio who are internationalists. Does Marco Rubio get to run an independent foreign policy? That would be very good news, I think, for for internationalists, if, if Donald Trump doesn't get in his way. But I don't know if that that happens. There's a view of pro israelism that says internationalism is necessary. I always like to say when a pack used to have its policy conferences, and it's a shame it doesn't any more, they would have a little brief talk before on Tuesday morning, before going up to the Hill, they would have, like, some prominent Senator come out and give a rah rah speech, and then like, three officials would come out on the stage Howard core, late Richard Fishman, and Esther Kurz. And Esther Kurz had handled Congressional Relations, and they would talk about the three items they were bringing up the Hill, usually two laws in a letter or a resolution or something like that. And she would always say, and this was like the one moment like they would sort of reveal this. They'd be very candid about this. You have to push not for assistance for Israel, but foreign assistance generally, because there is no such thing as sort of singling out Israel and saying, Okay, we're going to take care of Israel, but nobody else in the world that it's all it's all interconnected, and it's such a true thing now, because you can say, you know, let's just cut off Ukraine. But if you're cut off Ukraine, you're bolstering Putin. If you're bolstering Putin, you're bolstering somebody who has a substantial and military alliance with Iran, if you're bolstering Iran, that is not good for Israel. And it's like it's kind of circuitous to get there, but it's also very substantive point. I think those are the things the pro Israel community is going to be looking at with genuine concern. Julie Fishman Rayman: Indeed, it's all about sort of the strength of the American global leadership regime. And when you start to whittle away at one, the overall package ends up being weaker. Speaking of Israel, I can't speak to you this week and not ask you about the news out of Israel, about Netanyahu firing the defense secretary, gallant and what that means. And also, if we can extrapolate, if we can prognosticate what might happen vis a vis Israel in this lame duck session, while we still have Biden as president, but moving through the transition towards a future Trump administration. Ron Kampeas: Yeah, you know, there a lot of Israelis are actually worried about that. Like, Oh, Biden's gonna take his frustrations out on VB in the lame duck doesn't have anything stopping him. I don't think that's going to happen. I think what's interesting is, like, you had a couple of instances in American history where a lame duck president used the fact that he didn't care, you know, what anybody thought of him, to push something through in 1988 Ronald Reagan recognized the PLO because it's something George H W Bush wanted him to do. George H W Bush wanted to push like more Israel Palestinian peace he did with the Madrid Conference, but he didn't want to be the one to invite the PLO into the room, so he got Ronald Reagan to do it in his last two months in office. In 2016 Barack Obama allowed through a Security Council resolution of that condemned the settlements. The United States didn't vote for it, but it also didn't veto it. That really kind of shook Israel up. But was interesting. I've done the reporting on this. When he was taking advice, Should I, should we vote for the resolution? Should we veto it, or should we just allow it through? There were people voicing opinions on all sides. Joe Biden and Jack Lew, who was then the Treasury Secretary, is now the ambassador to Israel, both said, veto it. Don't let it through. Don't let it through because, partly because it's going to really upset our Jewish supporters. If you let it through, you're not going to be president anymore, but somebody in the room is going to probably try and be president. I think that Joe Biden still has that sense of responsibility. I could be wrong. You know, four years or a year of like, from his perspective, being very strongly supportive of Israel and not getting anything back. From Bibi, from his perspective, might have changed his mind. Something might occur now. But the question is, like, you can tell Israel if they hit anything, but if they hit, if they hit anything, if they elevate it at all, they're going to need US assistance. And Trump hasn't said he's going to give that. Biden has. Biden's proven he's going to give it. So you've got two months of a president who will, who will back up Israel with American might, and then you have a president who has isolationist tendencies and who doesn't want to get involved with wars for another four years. Julie Fishman Rayman: Is there anything else that you're hearing, perhaps, from the Israeli perspective, about Gallant departure, and what that signal? Ron Kampeas: I think, that Netanyahu, you know, he's just trying to keep his government intact. Gallant is very vocal in opposing or in supporting drafting the ultra orthodox the Haredi orthodox Netanyahu government relies on Haredi orthodox parties. So there's that he's also facing a kind of spy scandal from his own circle. Just a weird, weird story. Somebody who's in his circle is alleged to have tried to help Netanyahu politically by leaking highly classified documents and altering them as well to foreign news outlets. The allegation is that whatever the guy's motivation was, he's actually put Israel at risk. So Netanyahu is suddenly in a position of facing allegations that he put Israel at risk. Now he's faced a lot of scandals in his time. Israelis have a high level of tolerance for people who are alleged to have skimmed off the top, alleged to have helped themselves, and that's what the scandals are about. They have no tolerance for anybody who puts Israel's security at risk. So if this comes back to Netanyahu that could be more damage than than any other scandal that he's endured so far and so notably, I think, you know, when he was firing Galant, he said he accused Galant of leaking information, although, I mean, what he was seemed to be referring to was Galant didn't leak anything. Galant openly said that he disagreed with Netanyahu on certain tactics, and that, you know Netanyahu is casting is putting Israel at risk, which is not to say that Netanyahu is necessarily going to be implicated by the scandal, but it's certainly not of a piece with leaking, actually classified documents that reveal methods and sources can put Israel's intelligence gathering methods at risk. Julie Fishman Rayman: As always, there's so much more to the story, right? Ron Kampeas: Yeah, yeah. There always is. Julie Fishman Rayman: Ron, we could probably talk for a very long time about the American elections and what's going on in Israel and the degrees of various scandals and how populations will take them, and what the future of our country in the region looks like.

This episode was first published on June 25, 2024. Original show notes: Why are Palestinians stateless more than 75 years after the founding of a Jewish state in the same land? Why have international law and the rules-based order established after 1945 failed the Palestinian people? Why hasn't the U.N. with its security council designed to prevent conflict, stopped the Israel-Palestinian conflict? In Nov. 1947 the United Nations General Assembly voted 33 to 13 with 10 abstentions to partition Palestine in one of the most consequential votes the body has ever taken. One side achieved statehood; the other rejected the vote. From this point forward international law hasn't helped Palestinians meet their national aspirations. In this episode, Victor Kattan of the University of Nottingham explains why.

The people of Palestine are caught in the crosshairs of the only significant religious system in the history of the human race with a sociopolitical structure of laws that mandate violence against the infidel. While much has been made about the state of Israel and the several shades of Zionism that play a role in its complicated history, it is impossible to accurately assess the Israeli-Palestinian conflict without understanding the most important factor of them all—Islam. While there are people of other faiths (such as Christians) that live in the land called Palestine—I have close, personal friends among them—the majority of the people occupying this territory are Muslims and all of the citizens are led by Hamas, a militant Islamic organization with connections throughout the Islamic world that undoubtedly and unabashedly desire the destruction of all Jews along with the death of America and ultimately the West. This cannot be overstated and any intentions of a peaceful resolution to this conflict are in direct contradiction with the ideology of Islam—most notably Jihad against the infidel. Make no mistake—in a time of civilizational crisis—Islam is at the heart of this clash of civilizations. In times like these, where honest information is in short supply, it is imperative that lean on the counsel of experts in our pursuit of discernment, which is precisely why Hank Hanegraaff is joined by Robert Spencer, one of the worlds leading experts on Islam, to discuss what he deems “The Palestinian Delusion.”For information on Robert Spencer's book, The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process, please click here.https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-the-palestinian-delusion-the-catastrophic-history-of-the-middle-east-peace-process/For information on Hank's book The Apocalypse Code: Find out What the Bible Really Says About the End Times and Why It Matters Today, please click here.

The war in Gaza has lead to a surge in settler violence. Extreme Israeli settlers are the perpetrators behind the attacks. Not only have they become more aggressive, Israeli settlers have also seized more and more land. One spokesperson from Peace Now, an Israeli organisation that monitors settlement growth, says Jewish extremists in the West Bank are exacerbating an already tense and volatile situation, and making it harder than ever to end the Israel-Palestinian conflict. So will these settlements will permanent? The BBC's Middle East correspondent Yolande Knell explains.On Wednesday Israeli forces launched a "counterterrorism operation" in the occupied West Bank which includes air strikes and ground troops in several Palestinian towns and cities - including in Jenin and Tulkarm.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 0330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: Mora Morrison and Emilia Jansson Editor: Verity Wilde

Nathan Thrall won a 2024 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction for “A Day in the Life of Abed Salama.” It tells the story of a school bus crash in 2012 outside of Jerusalem; the bus was carrying a group of Palestinian kindergartners when it collided with a truck, killing 6 children and their teacher. Thrall follows the accident's aftermath and one parent's frantic search for his son, exposing the bureaucracy and brutality of life under occupation. We talk to Thrall about what we can still learn from the crash and why he says it embodies the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Guests: Nathan Thrall, journalist and author, "A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy" - former director of the Israel/Palestine Project, International Crisis Group

Since Israel has regained control of the Philadelphia Corridor, the border between Gaza and Sinai, it has uncovered dozens of tunnels which were the lifeline to arming Hamas. Reserve colonel Grisha Yakubovich, an expert in Israel-Palestinian relations and strategy consultant, said that Egypt was complicit in the arming of Hamas over the years. He told reporter Arieh O'Sullivan Israel must remain in full control of the frontier to prevent a future possibility of Hamas rearming itself.

Recently, current states like Ireland, Spain, Norway. Hungary. Poland are calling for the unilateral establishment of a Palenstinian state, without Israeli support or consultation.None of these countries, Ireland, Spain, Norway. Hungary. Poland, acknowledged a state of Palestine before the October 7 massacre. None of them. None of them acknowledged a state of Palestine on October 6th.But After Hamas commits an atrocity on Oct 7, that's when many states say, OK, now you get a state. That's the way this works. You deserve a state. You deserve a state. Now. Is that going to facilitate peace in the region?Do you think that the Saudis are interested in a Palestinian state? They certainly are not. They have to say that they are because obviously their population hates Israel. But the Saudi leadership has zero interest In a state of Palestine that becomes an Iranian proxy state directed against it near its own borders, of course they're not interested in that. Which is why the Saudis openly said to the Biden administration. Please stop pressuring for a Palestinian state. Stop it.A false notion: That when a Palestinian state is magically established, all conflict in the Middle East goes away, which is absolutely irrational. Middle East Conflict – The vast majority of conflict in the Middle East, if you're counting dead, wounded, every war, has nothing to do with Israel or the Palestinians. Check out their own Iran-Iraq war, or the conflicts in Syria or ISIS or the takeover of Lebanon by Iran, if you don't believe me.War is a pretty constant feature of the region actually, as it turns out.The world in large measure trying to pressure Israel to make concessions to a terror entity. In the middle of a war against the terror entity meanwhile would facilitate peace.The notion that there should be a Palestinian state taking control of its own borders is an idea whose time is not here. Absolutely not, considering those borders have been used to facilitate terrorism.

In Sanskrit, Maya means illusion or magic. Maya is at work among people and nations who project carefully crafted positive images of themselves. The U.S. and Israel are no different from other countries. They claim self-defense as they launch massive attacks. They invoke international law when it suits them then ignore it when it doesn't. Then there's always the standard line about our so-called values which justifies their actions. Most people don't have a clue about Israel-Palestine because they depend on heavily biased corporate news. Instead, they cling to shopworn myths and fantasies about themselves and their country. The Gaza bloodbath is enabled by the U.S. Are we “good Germans” pretending not to see? Recorded at the Chinook Center.

Driveway Beers PodcastIsrael Protests!It seems there are protests nationwide on college campuses over the Israel/Palestinian war. But is the news portraying it the way it is, or blowing it out of context to get you to be enraged and click on their articles? While there may be many protests, are they as violent as the media is making them seem? Half of the protesters arrested aren't even college students. So who is taking advantage of naive college kids and getting them to do someone else's bidding?

Protect yourself from the perils of modern technology with high-quality faraday products designed and developed by yours truly by going to RONINBASICS.com today. In this week's episode of the Adams Archive, I have a discussion with Eric Moutsos. Eric is the host of the American Moutsos Show, the founder and CEO of the health and wellness company Freedomblends, and a former police officer who has been at the center of political activism in several different high-profile situations. Eric is the author of the book Dispatched, recounting his fight against leadership during his time as a police officer, and the lead in a recent documentary called “Non-Essential” which follows him through his journey of fighting back against the government during Covid lockdowns. We discuss the controversies he has found himself at the center of, the Israel-Palestine war, selling out conservatives, good vs. evil, and more. You can find Erics social media profiles, podcast, book and more by clicking here All the links: linktr.ee/theaustinjadams ----more---- Full transcription Adams archive. Hello, you beautiful people. And welcome to the Adams archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today on today's episode. I am going to be talking with Eric Mutzos. Now, Eric is a political commentator and podcast host of the Eric Mutzos show. He is also a CEO of the Freedom Blends supplement company. And Eric has been at the center of several. controversial events, one of those being almost 10 years ago, when Eric was a police officer for almost seven years, he actually had to fight back against the police department that he worked for, who was forcing him mandating him to basically be a part of a gay pride parade. Pretty wild stuff. Fast forward a few years later, during COVID times, Eric was also at the center of some controversy, as he basically organized and gathered several rallies to help small business owners during the time of COVID lockdowns, as well as through an entire concert during the same time, where he had to get shut down by the state, fought back against that, and eventually lost his job. One out. So Eric is an author. He was also a part of the recent documentary, which outlined that organization of those situations during COVID lockdowns. So without further ado, we have a great discussion today about good versus evil current events, the Israel and Palestinian conflict, the college campus protests that are going on, we get into some conspiracy theories, of course. So. Let's go ahead and jump into it. But first, I do want to tell you about one thing, what I want to tell you about is Ronin and Ronin is my very new Faraday goods company, which is releasing our very first products over the coming weeks. Now you might ask yourself, what is a Faraday product? And I'm glad that you asked. Faraday products are basically products that are lined with a special fabric that blocks all inbound and outbound EMF frequencies. And if you don't know what EMFs are, it's basically emitted by every single piece of modern technology. The phone that's in your hand, the laptop that's next to you, your TV, your microwave, your fridge, the 5G towers that are outside of your window.

Alright, so thank you so much for listening. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart, leave a five star review, hit the subscribe button. And let's jump into it. The Adams archive. My dream is to one day have a little homestead I've got 20 chickens now, but my dream is to have a homestead. living off the land the way that God wanted us to. Amen. That's awesome, man. Yeah that's something I think a lot of people it's so interesting how many people got chickens after like post COVID. I think there's something primal that when everything goes to hell a little bit I don't know what it was, but it seems like I fell into that too. We have a chicken coop out back. We had nine chickens that, that we had we even had ducks for a little bit, but it was funny because it's so many people that you saw. Just chickens were like the first step that people took in their journey to like becoming a little bit, well, I almost think that's more of a realization about the government, not actually being the father figure that was going to. take care of you that everybody thought it was. And it chickens for some reason was like the gateway drug into homesteading for everybody. Even if you live in a small city. I live in a, I live in a city area and it was pretty easy to get to the proof through the city and everything. They just got to come out and check out the coop and things. But yeah, it was really, it's funny how many people I think ended up getting chickens as a result of COVID, which is such a weird correlation but Yeah. It's funny. So, and when you talk about homesteading I think that was something that went. That came out of COVID too, was the amount of people that realized that our governmental structure and the protective layer that we thought our government gave us between us and the food supply chains, water all of those things essentially crumbled that when we looked at what happened through the grocery stores, right, I remember going to the grocery stores and all of the meat being gone. All of the eggs being gone, all of the milk being gone, and people started to wake up to that idea this isn't a a movie, right? It's not every, it's not a things can go south pretty quick, and I think we saw that with, COVID, Yeah. Well, and it's going to, but people don't understand. That was just the first wave, of what I believe is coming, but it's you have to understand that this is all, it's all biblical. Everything that's happening right now, it's all this. God, knows the beginning to the end and he's already seen the whole thing out. And now, We you and I and listeners, viewers, we're now here as the test to see where we stand. Like I'm convinced this whole sucker goes down probably within the next 10 years. I don't mean to scare anybody, but it's evident that I believe God is preparing his people with like ideas of, chickens and things like that. He's getting his people ready to leave Babylon entirely because as soon as they bring in this beast system, which I believe they will, as soon as the, dollar dies. That the, dollar dying is going to be very, intentional. It's, not going to be, Oh, all of a sudden they know exactly what they're doing. Just like COVID, COVID, was the left and then the overhand right was the Vax. And so then, so now with the financial system that's going to go and it's not going to be, in my opinion, it's not going to be a recession or a depression. I believe it's going to be a collapse and that's why we got to be ready for what's coming because you're either going to have to, where are you at on, do you, when I talk about this Christian stuff or you, do you believe in God, Austin? Absolutely. Yeah, Okay. Sorry. I just don't know. Sometimes when I'm talking to people I don't know. But I believe that the devil duplicates everything that God does, everything beautiful he does. He's got to have a counterfeit to it, right? And so this new world order is just the counterfeit of what God has always been trying to get his people to do, which has become one heart and one mind. Because if everybody did that, it would be, everybody would share with everybody. There would be no poor among us. Everybody would, you'd grow what you need and you give the rest away. And that's the environment that, consider the lilies, right? Jesus taught it. Consider the lilies, the birds of the birds of the sky. You don't think I can feed you. That's the whole point. That's what, well, the city of Enoch was taken up, but I'm, trying to get prepared for that. And even if that doesn't happen, which I hope I'm crazy, I hope that in 10 years, you know what I mean? to be fair. Yeah I really do like just get, okay, that's great. I'll put me in the ward house but, I don't think I am crazy. I don't think that I believe that what's crazy are all of these people that have their heads in the sand that don't even realize what's happening. Our state of Utah, let me just read this to you. The state of Utah, we just won the best state, right? We just won the very best state of Utah. And we're, talking about of what? The best state of what? Right. We're about my our state is about to flip over to blue. We're purple right now because we have a governor of the state of Utah that uses pronouns to little kids on zoom calls, bro. It's actually, it's. That's fairly surprising, too, especially Utah. Obviously a very big religious sects within Utah itself. And I guess that's an interesting thought, too. When you talk about the dollar collapsing, right, you can speak about that from, like you did a biblical perspective. sense, but you can also look at. that from what's happening, socioeconomically across the world, right? Geopolitically right now between the brick, right? If you look at the way that India and Iran and China and Russia are all teaming up right now, have all already moved away from the dollar. And when we look at India and you look at China, those are the two biggest world powers when it comes to industry today, right? It's not like United, the United States of America is manufacturing things in an extremely high level. When we're outsourcing our talent, our menu, when we're outsourcing. I, have a business background. I run a business and several. And so when we're outsourcing talent to do most of the jobs, we're outsourcing it to India and when we're outsourcing manufacturing, we're outsourcing it to China. And so when you have those, organizations, those countries that are now moving away from utilizing the USD, the dollar. In their everyday trades and I ran when it comes to oil, right? We're, messing with some very dangerous territory politically in getting into this potential escalation with Iran, with which and Putin's already talked about his response. What it would be if, situations escalated with Iran, we're already seeing tensions rise with Taiwan and for China, right? We are literally being put in a position where. If nothing else, our leadership is putting us in a place where our economic system could very well collapse just from the decisions being made by our leaders. Yeah, that's right. Well, and it is going to happen. And so You know, the more money we give to Ukraine, it's going to start happening to the deep state part of Israel. I have to be careful saying this because people think if you're, you question what's happening with Israel or some kind of like anti semi, it's no, the deep state has infiltrated every single government across the world. And so if you don't think that, so look at Israel, I look at Israel a lot like America, the majority of people in America are good people, right? But guess what? Those of us are questioning our government that's happening in Israel too, just FYI. And so just big, make sure before you start throwing your flags all over your bios, that this whole thing is a big, operation. And it's, Even me saying this right now, I can't even believe I'm saying this from where I used to be even like four years ago, when you start to wake up to this stuff, it's so, unbelievably overwhelming, but at the same time, when you see the big picture of it, this is all supposed to go down just like this. Yeah, And I think that's there's been like a, almost a lot of weaponization of spirituality when it comes to the Israel Palestinian conflict, right? I think it's been really interesting to see the way that the right, like conservative right, has all almost simultaneously, in lockstep, decided that they're without question, right? And there's definitely things to question there, right? I've been somebody who's been looking at the situation and I, don't, like to wholeheartedly buy blue or red, right? I generally consider myself to be a more of a libertarian. I would say in a sense where I think less lesser government in most situations is generally a positive thing. And so I don't really feel like I have skin in the game. Right. So, so when I look at the Palestinian and Israeli conflict, you see the big money and conserve like the conservative industry pushing and backing all of the influencers, all of the you see the daily wire, PragerU. You see these large organizations sending the biggest influencers over to Israel with a, almost a documentarian style videographer behind them. They pay for them to go over there. They pay for them to speak about these things. And they almost have blinders on and I'm not ignorant to either side. I look at what's going on in Palestine, and I look at what's going on in Israel, and what happened on October 7th is, it's a tragedy. It's horrible. It shouldn't happen, right? Terrorism in any sense is absolutely atrocious. but don't you think that it's possible that October 7th was a deep state operation within itself? Absolutely. So when you look at The amount of information that the, IDF had, Leading up to that It's, staggering. It's almost very, like almost gives you the idea of Pearl Harbor back in the day, right? You see the, amount of signals that they had. And then you, look at the IDF and see how much more technologically advanced they are than even some of the intelligence agencies that we have here in the United States, right? And then you think that 40 guys on big fan. and parachutes So, it's so obvious. It's so obvious, man. It's and now you got what? 30, 40, 000 people that have died in Gaza. And it's and people think, yeah, well they're human shields. It's they just dismiss it. It's no, There's innocent people dying. Absolutely. innocent people dying over here. There's innocent people dying over here. Like we should be standing on the side of innocent people wherever that is. And To me, it's I don't look at anybody differently, dude. I don't, I look at somebody as a child of God. Yeah. They might not believe in Jesus yet, but I look at them like God loves all his kids and he's just trying. And now we're killing each other like this and cheering it on and saying, we got to flatten it. And look, I've come a long way. Like I remember even when Trump dropped the big old what's that big old MAGA bomb that he dropped at one point. I can't remember what it was called. Sure. There was, I'm sure there was a few of those I know it just come. And I remember like making jokes about it. And it was like, and they did hit that. They didn't go, Trump didn't go in and do what Israel's doing to Gaza. But I, the point that I'm trying to make is that I've come a long way in this a short amount of time on how wicked it is. War. War. In any degree yes, God wants us to defend he wants us to defend that as a godly principle to defend yourself, man, but when we, it's so obvious what they're doing they want us in third world war. They need us in third world war. They're funding both sides of this, of these little college Riots that they're starting to have their fun in that side. And so then it pushes all these people. Now it's this war, but it's so obvious. Don't participate in it. Don't participate in it. Call for peace. It's but that's what they need. And you see it, the conservative side of things when it came to what was going on between Russia, like you almost saw a complete 180 between the Republican party and the conservatives that were out there that always generally were a little bit more. Historically pro-war than the liberals or the Democrat side of things, right? You look, you go back to almost anything pre 2018 and. The left was staunch in almost every situation across the board, anti war in almost every sense, right? There were the, they were the cool liberal hippies in the seventies. They were against Vietnam. They were there was a complete 180 at one point, very recently where you saw a glimmer of light for their conservatives and Republican party, where they looked at what was happening in Ukraine and they said, no, we don't want any part of this. There's no reason that, this war should be happening. And there's absolutely no reason that our attacks. Hours should be going to fund it. Right? And, so When, you look at that now, I was optimistic about the conservative party for such a long time because they were the ones calling out against war, against the war machine. And now you look and, they're the ones that are flying the, Israeli flags saying that they, can do no wrong no matter how many innocent children, women. Families, they bomb there. There's nothing that it's, all in the name of, and I think you, you pointed to something there specifically that I've noticed as a theme, anytime that they're trying to create a narrative, especially when it comes to these terrorists in the middle East, they always use human shields. I I was in I don't know, fourth grade, fifth grade when 9 11 happened, but I can't tell you that if I had to think of one thing in my mind that made them terrorists that the mainstream media painted the narrative with, it was that idea. It was the human shields that completely, they dehumanize women and children by utilizing them as human shields. Right. And you saw all of this propaganda going out, right? Just like you saw with Ukraine, the ghost of Kiev that ended up being a video game. Right. You saw the, women and the men being sent out in buses. I've done some videos on this and, you saw all of this propaganda being pushed out and the human shields is at the very top of the list for these people when they try to paint a narrative around terrorism. well, and that's the only thing they can say too, to justify it as human shields. And it's just no, there's certain wars. When I was a police officer, if there was like a hostage situation, right. You don't kill both of them. That's not what you do. That goes against every, it's what's the point of the government being there? It's like we're trying to help. And, so that, that excuse doesn't fly with me and all, I want to say on this topic is just be very, prayerful about it. The devil wants the devil wants us. He wants bloodshed. That's where we're to the point. We've, already like swiftly went through this and the next phase of the sexual revolution and the devil's like really salivating for, blood at this point. And so my, answer is, to, not do that. My, my answer is to call it out for what it is. Call out the wickedness for what it is. Don't call for war. Don't justify war because if we have that in our hearts and if we really are going to accept that as a collective whole, that's okay. That what's happening say in, in right now in Gaza, if that's okay, we're not, going to be part of, the kingdom of God if our hearts are thinking that's okay. Does that make sense? Yeah. Absolutely. And that's the thing that I you said you, you use the word like the, noun of the devil. Right. And you talk about the same people who are pushing for war, right? Who are profiting from these things, right? That the people who both funded Hamas to become what they are today, who funded Al Qaeda, who then turned on us who funded. Almost every side of the war, and you see it as a microcosm with what's happening in the universities, which you alluded to as Well, right? Every single one of the tents that were being set out at these extremely expensive universities were all this the same tent because they were sent them by the organizations, the same organizations like APAC, who are funding all of this. All but seven of the politicians that are currently making decisions on whether or not to send money to Israel, And so you look at you, you look at all of the narratives that have come out more recently. And I, only mentioned this because you, mentioned the devil, right? You mentioned the, Well, I look at, we talk about God, right? Like we talk about God all the time, but we don't talk about what the adversary is doing in his plans. And he hates when we call out his plans. He hates it. So bad. And that's why he hates people that speak truth. Because he, likes to just, he needs to justify himself too, right? He fell from heaven, it's he has to be justified and so, he believes he's right. And so that's what I'm trying to say is that we, have to call these things out when we see it. And I'm not saying you have to use devil. You could just say, Hey, it's wrong what they're doing. Right. I just, say those things because I believe this is a huge spiritual war that we're in and we have to start identifying it as such. If we're going to like, Be able to, ascend higher. Maybe that's the right word. If we're going to be, if we're going to be able to defend what's coming in the next little while we, the only words that we can use as Jesus Christ, like those are the only words that we're going to, that will have the power to, to not only stop what's coming, but to, transform things. What's happened, what's going to happen where we have to start using those types of words, in my opinion. Have you seen, And, speaking of that, have you seen Tucker Carlson speak on the spiritual aspect of what's going on more recently? Have you seen some Yeah. Yeah, he's right. And, I'd add to it. He's absolutely right. And now I don't know much about like the aliens and stuff. I really haven't got into it that much. Is it possible? Sure. Anything's possible, but the, point that I think with Tucker, what he's trying to make is that this is very, we just see in the physical because we're being tested right now. God, is literally just watching us and he's just testing us. Yeah. He's what are you, made of? You got to understand that the kingdom of God is where he lives. If you, look in let's see first Corinthians 1540, it talks about degrees, right? The degree that God lives in that celestial kingdom degree. That is where kings and queens live. And, so why I bring this up is because we're, in this test to see where it is that we are going to place ourselves based off of the decisions that we make here. The whole purpose of this earth life I'm don't you love that this is what we were going to talk about, Mike, when we were prepping for this podcast? Like not one thing, right? So good. it's all good. This is the kind of stuff That I I think most people are thinking it. I think most people think about this kind of stuff, but to try and articulate it and then to try and because yeah, could I be wrong on this stuff? I could be, but, it's so evident that this is such a, spiritual test to me. When, you talk about it being spiritual, right? In the most basic sense, you're talking about good versus evil, black versus white. right. Huh. versus light, right? And so when you look at, when you look at the things that have been happening over the last four to five years, we've seen truth as a fundamental weapon for the side of the good. And we've seen how often the side of the bad, right? You want to say black and white the, side of evil, whatever you want to call it, Satan, the devil, whatever they try to stifle the truth. Right? The truth is evident. The sun will always show the next day and it will eliminate the darkness. And so even if you just take it from the most simple sense when you look at something that says, who is trying to stifle the truth and who is trying to It's very evident who is on the side of the good and who is on the side of the evil, right? And so even if you just say there's good and there's bad and there's people who are perpetuating good values and there's people who are perpetuating evil for the purpose of self inflation of ego for the purpose of integrity. Monetization for the purpose of the very same people who I'm talking about who are being flown to Israel to have a videographer behind them, to, to, never for a second to speak about the atrocities that are happening in Gaza today. Right? So if you wanna vet your influencers, you wanna vet the people that you're following, you wanna. Do you ever disagree with them? Right. Because if I, if there's somebody out there that I never, Yeah. Oh, I do all the time. And, I try, are you asking me like rhetorically? Are you just, you're, do you want to know? that was rhetorical, but you can go ahead and answer it. Oh I'm just saying I, I do all the time. Hey, be really careful with this. This could be very well a deep state operation. Hey, be careful with this. There's a lot more to this story stuff like that because here's the truth. We're, None of us are fully awake to this awful situation that we're in and we're gonna get in a place where we might Be in a position where we're wrong about something and then you got to quickly check yourself spiritually hey Why do I feel off about this? Why is there something off about it? Oh because you're being deceived. That's why And so I try to do it to good people that I follow and there's some big ones and they're they are hook line and sinker on support in Israel under any circumstance. And it's you guys, this is in Israel. This is wickedness to me. And, it's clear, it's God is gathering his people right now and ultimately there's going to be like really a group I don't know how far you want me to hear about these like I guess Conspiracies you want me to hear We go deep on this podcast, so feel free. when this system goes down there you're gonna have to bow down to one of two gods Now we're all up into Israel and I, every single time, it's just bowing down. And so, and I'm not saying that A lot of these things could be true, right? There's, a lot of things that, that, that could be true. However when we, go along with it, whatever narrative, whatever that, whatever the government's feeding us, if we just go along with that as if it's true, we're in a lot, we're in a world of hurt. Absolutely. And I think if you look at the government, right, you look at all the things that have come out more recently about the, not when you say the government, it sounds it's, the government is what, 500, it's like millions of people, right? But when you look at the government, the federal government is the, just the federal government is millions. right, exactly. So, so when you talk about the government you're talking about the governmental officials who we duly elected, right? Put that in quotation marks, but duly elected officials who have gone into these positions of power. There has been a unbelievable amount of information that has come out more recently. Let's say the last three to five years showing that those people, right? And this is when, we talk about my spirituality or my beliefs in religion, one of the things that was a big, Part of my moving more towards religion and spirituality, having grown up Presbyterian at a young age and then moving a little bit away and coming back now is realizing that all of these people in positions of power, all of the people that are holding office right now, there's a very, large group of these people who have shown themselves to be Worshipping the darkness, right? That have shown themselves to go in, in worshiping Malak at Bohemian Grove that have shown themselves to be within Hillary Clinton's emails, all of there's so many examples of this of, showing that the people in the highest positions of power have absolutely in one way, shape, or form. Gone to, you see it in music, you see it in the movies and the TV shows that are being pushed out. You see it in politics. You see all of the, highest positions of culture and society. Well, you see it even with Trump and you see it with politicians on our side as if Donald Trump's going to come and save us, right? Yeah. Right. Yeah, You go back to QAnon, right? The, he has the military. in my opinion, a deep state operation. Well and it did it, if it was, and it, and I think that it very well was, if it was, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. It made people look silly. It de-legitimized the opposing opinion. Right. Now, if you were pro-Trump, right? Even just the terms maga or far right, or Q anon they, associated every single person who was. Pro Trump to be a Q and I and conspiracy theorist. And then they took that to the furthest and said, Oh, they believe that Trump owns the military and that he can do no wrong. And really someday he's going to come back. And there was all of these, there was the very furthest extent. of what QAnon believed. But then even if you just take it maybe 10, 20, 30, 40 percent back from the craziest sides of their belief systems, when you look at what was happening between Pizzagate and all of these more, somewhat considered to be extreme conspiracy theories, but there's foundations there's seeds of truth in a lot of it. But then you get into the very, very craziest side of it. And those were used the, very farthest Extreme conspiracies, and I'm not saying that Pizzagate itself wasn't, didn't have legitimacy to some of the claims that were happening, but what I am saying is that when they said that he still has the military in his pocket and any day now he's going to come back and be the president, he's really the president of the United States. It delegitimized all of the legitimacy within the movement that was happening of people who believed things that are very real, right? All of the people waking up to the very thing that I'm talking about this satanic worship by politicians and Hollywood and the music industry that were happening and what that entailed when you look historically for that, when you talk about. Sacrifices and how far you want to get down that rabbit holes, but you see what I'm saying is that they utilized a very proven and true system to de legitimize the very legitimate concerns that people had surrounding what, whatever the movement was, that was QAnon to begin with that turned into what it was later on, at this point, I think the most important thing that we can do is just get prepared physically and spiritually, really that's it. Well, what does that look like? I always try to tell people at least get a year's worth, at least a year's worth of food for your family, at minimum. I don't know why that year is stands out to me. I think maybe you look at Noah, do you remember how long Noah was on the boat for? It was about 375 days that he was on the boat. It's, I think that there's something to that year, Mark. And And I believe that we have to have at least the provisions that much that we can, because people will die, right? People will die of starvation. And so don't let it be you. Have water. Know that there's water in the ground. Go to the lowest part and start digging. You're going to hit water. That's a lie that they tell us. I'm telling you. And they hate that. It's like hydrogen and oxygen create water. And it's they've lied about how much water is never ending. Just like oil. I don't care what anybody says. I'm just telling you the truth. So, get prepared physically and then get prepared spiritually, which is get right with God repent, we all need to repent every day. And we all do stupid things. That's why Christ came. And if we're prepared physically and if we're prepared spiritually, there's nothing to fear. Don't be afraid because that's all you can do. that's an interesting thing That I, think a lot of people, like I talked about that where the, creeping fear in, the, Realization of that through covid, where even the what I believe was 100%, one of the most successful psychological operations that happened in Covid was the toilet paper shortage. That was amazing. The, toilet paper shortage showed people, it made people freak out, just an everyday essential . You didn't need it. Right. You can find, you can get a towel and wash it. There's so many different ways, get a bidet, right? There's so many different ways that you can deal with that issue. But the toilet paper shortage to me was a shock test. So I I did a podcast, a full five hour breakdown on a document that it was actually leaked from the CIA. That's called silent weapons for quiet wars. Have you ever heard of that? b no, I haven't. So silent weapons for quiet wars was a document that was found in a fax machine in the 1980s in from a purchase of a IBM fax machine so they did a whole a wholesale sale of all of these materials that were happening at IBM and one of the things that was interesting within the machine itself was a document from the 1940s and 50s, I believe. And it was a secret closed door document by the CIA. And what it essentially did was it outlined everything that we're talking about here today. It outlined the way that they wanted to manipulate the financial Society, they wanted to manipulate the way that, that people engaged with each other. But one of the things that they talked about, there's a theory or actually a framework called shock testing and shock testing originally came from the aviation industry in which they would, take the, wings of the airplane. They would take all of that and they would put it through a series of tests and based on the information and data that they took back from that shock test, and it was literally like basically shaking the materials to see that it would withstand. And how it would react to certain amounts of pressure and stimuli and, all those things. And so they took that fundamental ideology of what shock testing was in the aviation industry and they utilized it to start to weaponize big amounts of data against the general public. And there's some really the most interesting document. It, I would say I've read is called silent weapons for quiet wars. And within that shock testing, the idea was we want to utilize certain types of tests against the public. Like how would the society react if we got rid of toilet paper and what they might find is that if we Have a toilet paper shortage, that people might start buying large amounts of water. and they might also start purchasing chickens. That's a very real potential correlation, right? So they found these weird correlations and causations that happen due to these shock tests. And so I 100 percent believe these things are happening today. And the way that they're happening is much scarier than it was in the 1950s and 1940s that it was being weaponized against the general public because now they can use AI algorithms to do Hundreds of thousands of these tests at a time and see exactly how the General public is going to react. have you gotten into all the patents? I did an Instagram reel on like the United States patents on direct energy weapons. Oh man, Oh, it's unbelievable. You can go to you. So I did it when it came to Hawaii, you can go to YouTube right now and you can go to Lockheed Martin's Insta or Lockheed Martin's YouTube channel and you can see them. Same, thing with, like all of these major military industrial complex companies, they have like literal star wars type advertisements right now on YouTube Oh yeah. about direct energy weapons and, boasting about how amazing they are and how efficient they are. And then, they want to take the videos that you and I create on Instagram and they want to call it misinformation when literally Lockheed Martin has Dozens of videos right now on Oh yeah, man. It's so the weapons that they have, it's, and I, equate it to right now when we see all the things that are happening with the weather, I equate it to I don't know if you remember in the old Testament when, the Pharaoh, which is the government when, they were showing their magic to Moses, like their, tricks. And I think that's what's happening right now. I think this is their tricks the, what they're spraying in our skies, what they're putting in, the air, there's going to be project blue beam. You're going to just be seeing a whole bunch of Really, fascinating. Look, remember all those lightning storms that were hitting all over the United States? Do you remember that? Just lightning, everywhere. I was getting videos from everywhere. When was that? Oh, it was last year sometime. Okay. Interesting. a whole Instagram reel on it, but lightning probably every 30 seconds for two hours straight, but it was, you can tell it wasn't your normal lightning. It was definitely a weather modification. And so I think what's happening is the devil, Sure. the government, whatever you want, darkness, however you want to label it. This is their way of showing that is his world. This is he's in control. And I again, I believe God's just sitting back, wait and watching what, his Children are going to do. then when he starts to speak, it's, there won't be enough bunkers that Zuckerberg can build that's going to hide the truth. them from God. I'm telling you right now, like when he starts to speak and when he steps in, look out And so you mentioned a couple of things there. The one being the weather modification, right? Talking about cloud seeding or, I can't even think of the original conspiracy term at this point. What is it for cloud seeding? chemtrail. Chemtrails. Thank you. Thank you. Again, same It's been happening for decades. How many times, I was fact checked by Instagram on it, maybe two years ago. You look at what was happening in the, who's the, United Arab Emirates. Just recently they had a huge flood in Saudi Arabia, Yep. that, that, right. And they have been basically sitting on, every news channel being so excited to share how much cloud seeding they're doing. Right. Yeah. It's so, yeah they, openly say it. It's so stupid that people can't even, they don't even believe I'm a pilot. I'm a pilot. And I know, yeah. Okay. Well, how many doctors are out there pushing the V? That doesn't make that to me, just because you're in that profession means nothing to me. I'm sure you're a great person. I'm sure you would never spray people intentionally to kill people. But just because you're a pilot doesn't make, doesn't mean that the government's not doing this. I'm sorry. I don't know how else, it's like cops, right? I was a cop. I didn't, I had no idea how wicked the upper three letter agencies are. No idea. I thought by getting into law enforcement, that was like the top echelon of integrity. Unfortunately, it goes the other way around. The higher you go up, the more corrupt it gets. And when you see that and you realize that's what we've become as, an Amer as, this, people that we, were supposed to be a city on a Hill, right? When you see that, we have become really the bad guys in a lot of sense, like really, if you think about it, dude, like we were, you and I were good people, right? And your listeners are good people, but like what this country has become, it's, right? It's really not good, like really, not good, the worst, like we are worse than Rome. We are worse than Babylon of old, the United States of America. And I mean that and I know that I keep bringing this stuff up but, it's so, On my heart that we have got to get right with God, like we've got to repent because, when this hits, it's going to be too late if you don't have that light inside of you navigating this darkness. Yeah, and it's actually something recently that I've been more interested in. Have you heard the conversation or seen some of the discussions surrounding the collapse of Rome and actually Rome turning into the throne? Three, if you look at a map and you look at the I forget the name of it. It's a certain monument that's in Washington, DC. It's also in London and it's also at the Vatican. And so when you look at this, the three different areas that, that these places of this, Gosh I can't remember the term of it, but it's also in from ancient Egypt, but it was essentially a a monument that, was utilized to show between Rome collapsing and then reintegrating itself into the new world, essentially by leveraging the United States as its military arm, London in. Where the other monument like this is, I believe it starts with an S. I, I just can't I can't think of it, but London being the financial arm and then the Vatican being the spiritual arm of what was originally ancient Rome. Have you, seen that at all? No, but it doesn't it's all going to repeat itself. It's all going to come together. That's what I was trying to explain to you is that God's gathering his, his the house of Israel, like spiritually, I'm not talking about physically spiritually it's gathering. And then on the flip side, the devil is starting to, bring in all of his house. Right. And so you're going to see all of these big the who, and the you're going to watch all of them start to come together into one big monster here soon. Yeah. Yeah. There's a really interesting you should look into it. It's really interesting conversation around how the collapse of Rome was essentially never actually happened. And it was really the integration of the Roman ideology. And that's why you look at the some of the things that people point out about this is that you look to the the types of architecture that is in Washington, DC, Rome, and London. And the way that they kind of framework, this is that. Each one of those individual I guess what you would call cities are actually their own individual, areas outside of the government in which they are housed within, right? Washington DC is not a part of the, 50 States of the United States, right? It's its own individual entity. within that, right? Same thing with the Vatican. It's, it actually is not a part of the government. It's not housed within the country that it's in. It's its own subsection of that, right? So they can have their own laws. They can have their own rules. They can have all of these things. Same, thing with the, financial arm, which is London. And so there's a really interesting conversation that that, I've seen come up pretty recently, actually around that. And I'll have to, I'll send you some stuff on it. It's really interesting. But when you talk about the, spiritual aspect of everything that's happening here, when we look to the, escalation of tensions, right? We're at a time now where all of the institutions have lost trust. And that's because each one of them is leading with the darkness, right? They're leading with lies. They're leading with manipulation. They're leading with all of the they're, trying to stifle the truth, right? Each one of these institutions. So when you talk about the three letter agencies, the CIA, the FBI, even when you're talking about the governmental institutions, do you think there's any current institution that isn't compromised? No, there's not, there are some good people within that are just quiet when you say good, well, they should be speaking out, but there are some that are very aware of what's happening that are just trying to get their 20 years, right? That, that was happening at the police department. It's I there, there's these cops that knew these things were wrong, but wouldn't say anything about it. For example, Occupy Wall Street. Remember that I worked that downtown Salt Lake City when they did the Occupy. Salt Lake City and it was very dangerous chanting F the police and they only had two of us working at a time You know inside the park they would post this up there and it was like you guys there's only two of us and I put in a complaint and I got in trouble right hey there I don't feel safe, but there's only two of us while there's hundreds and hundreds of people Chanting F the police and you have me in here like some kind of a pawn like that's dangerous You And I and, trouble's the wrong word. I got in my my, my supervisor was upset, but it turns out that I was right. Right. So, so I didn't get trouble on paper when it started to go up the chain. Oh yeah. Mootsos is right. We need more people in there. So, so tell me about that. You were a part of the police force for how many years? Seven. Seven years. And so that was a part of the, what I alluded to a very beginning of this is you had some of the controversies surrounding that, that kind of maybe speak a little bit more to the values that you hold dearly to yourself. What, was the situation that you found yourself in that was probably the most high profile out of, everything that you experienced with the police? Well, and this obviously is part of my book too, I finally made it over to the motorcycle unit. I've got a, I've got a crazy story. It is a, wild story in those seven years. But I finally made it over to the motorcycle unit and was doing really good. We, yes, there are police quotas, a lot of them. And that was part of the reason why. They didn't like me from within is because I called out their quota system. And, that's how most departments, not all departments, but that's how most departments operate is based off of money, right? You got to get a certain level of arrest to not only get local money, but then you get federal grants based off, of numbers. Right? And so when I, when, when, they talk, when you talk about quotas, is that like more of an unspoken rule? Or is that something they're Oh, absolutely. Yeah, it's unspoken because they know that it's wrong, but they have, there's no other way to do it. When I was a motorcycle cop we had, to get 20 points a day. That was our goal. Well, a one ticket was a point and then a DUI was worth 10 points. So if you got two DUIs in a shift, then you got your 20 points. So I chose to do more DUIs because I believe, that people shouldn't be driving around drunk, right? When you're giving petty tickets, it just doesn't feel good as a, it's and I'm not saying arresting drunk drivers feels good, but maybe I saved a few lives and I don't know about it. Who knows? But, when you're giving out a ticket for some stupid thing, cause you got to hit your 20, it sucks your soul a little bit at a time when you're looking at a person who's just driving just how you're going to drive when you go home. Which there's so many violations on the road. There's hundreds and hundreds of laws. I don't care who you are. You're breaking the law when you're driving somewhere from point A to point B. And it, so when you're writing these, tickets all the time, it's, it doesn't change behavior. Now, some people would argue it changed behavior, but what about giving somebody a warning? What about seeing red and blue lights behind you and, that scaring you enough Oh, geez I'm sorry. Yeah, you need to slow down and I'm not. Look, I'm, there are certain people that deserve tickets. Don't get me wrong. But when you create an entire industry. And jobs based off of money that you're getting. I think it's wrong. Anyway, I called that out. And I got in trouble, but with not actually getting in trouble, I got blacklisted in many ways. Once I called out the quotas and I recorded my sergeant too, just in case they ever say that it didn't happen, it did happen. But when I finally got on the motorcycle squad, I was the number one DUI officer by far. I think I had 160 DUIs in that year. And then, the next person below me had 85. I was a hard worker, right? Never been written up. Never had an IA. Never had, I never went to IA. I had I had awards in my file. So, I was, I really, put in my heart and my soul to my career, right? And when I was a motorcycle cop, they wanted five of us to come in and they wanted us to celebrate. in the LGBTQ parade. So they wanted us to, they wanted us to participate. They wanted us to lead the gay parade in our police uniforms. And when I saw that assignment, I can't explain it to you, but it was, every it's maybe how people felt during the vaccine. Don't do that. Do not take it. That's how I felt. It was dark and this is nothing against gay people. I just don't believe it theologically. Does that make sense? So I don't hate anybody. But because we live in this such polarized idea that if disagree with someone's lifestyle that you must hate them. No, I love you. There's nobody on planet earth that I hate. I don't, some people I don't like and I wouldn't hang out with. But I don't hate anybody. And so I was asked to trade assignments. I said, Hey, I went to another cop, and I said, Hey, will you be in the parade? And I will do your traffic post. And he's yeah, no problem. So we switched spots. An hour later, an email comes down that says there will be no trading positions in and out of this. And I'm like, I knew that they knew that I got a trade, or they would have never said that because it's within our policy to trade. They were upset. At least that Sergeant was upset that I got a trade and they were going to force me into something that they knew was against my faith. Because I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. That is the very definition of marriage. And when I say these things, you have to understand I'm a sinner too. I'm a sinner. I got problems, but I believe in a, value system that I try to live by. Right. I believe that we are. quickly devolving literally into animals. There's now furries in Utah in these, and I covered this story and I'm the bad guy for covering the story that there's a whole bunch of kids, dressing up as furries pooping on the floor in some of these schools. I'm getting reports. Well, you, if you The bad guy, I think it depends on who you ask. Right. And I think honestly, I'm just saying in the media now, I'm the bad guy. Like I exposed, let me go let me go back. So, Because I'll go off on a tangent. So they called me in the office, because I said, hey look I don't I sent an email, really professional, hey, I don't hate anybody, I love all people I just don't feel that the police should be involved in this speech. Because, it is free speech. What they're trying to do is normalize it because the police are involved in it. And now look at us now. What has the state become? Well, the state has become, ironically, the forced religion. The religion, that we weren't supposed to have a separate separation of church and state. Well, guess what? The L-G-B-T-Q to a lot of people is a religion. It is a dogma. It is. It is a faith. they believe this as much as some people believe in God. And so, I was not going to bow down to that false God religion. Because that's what it is in my opinion. And I, and again, I know that there's going to be some people that are gay listening. I love you. And I hope you know that. I love you. I just don't believe that's the order of heaven. Because God wants us to become like him, Well, when. He wants us to become perfect like him. right. and when you look at the military, I was in the military, so I did four years in the Air Force, and when you look at the military, they would, you would get in trouble if you are found being a part of a parade, if you're found to be a part of a protest, and you're in uniform when you do it, that's an advocation by the establishment, right? So Like, even if, is that it's against our policy to wear something over your uniform. But yet the chief of police and all the lieutenants and all the sergeants and some officers, they're all wearing the gay lay the Hawaiian gay thing over their uniform. Right, exactly. And so you're, when you're in a position of power, which is what you are, whether you're in the military, whether you're a police officer, whether you're in whatever position that you're in, that if you're advocating for a certain if any of the police officers that were in your unit wanted to go there and dance in the parade or support them while not In their uniform or representing the police force, let alone. That's perfectly fine. Let alone forcing people to advocate for something that maybe they don't believe in. And to your point I'm, passive in the same way that you are. You do what you want to do. I have no, no, problems with anybody who, is. gay or lesbian. Now, when we get into the, TQIA plus Well, and kids, community, that's a whole other issue. It's, we could, that's a whole other speaking of tangents that we can get into is the, hijacking of what is a sexual preference into being what is a fetish, personal fetishes that are then being enforced on youth. But back to the original conversation, which is that there's no reason at all. In my opinion, and coming from the opinion of somebody who worked for the government in a position that wore a uniform that would, we would not be allowed if you went to a gay parade in your ABUs or in your blues, your dress blues we would have, gotten in trouble. Right, let alone forcing somebody to be in the police force to be a part of that and show that the police force is now advocating for this, against whatever their religious beliefs are, there should, the Supreme Court has ruled on this, they said, I believe it was the, it was the bakery that said that they didn't want to bake cakes for somebody who was asking them to. Yeah. Jack Phillips. Yeah, that was Jack Phillips. That was about the same time period. Cause my story was about 2014 and I think his was either 2012, 2013. In fact I ended up, talking to him, to Jack Phillip. Yeah. Because when he heard my story and I guess I should finish the story. So, a couple of days go by. And I get this text message from my deputy chief, who's one of the highest of the high up in this. Hey we want to see, we need to see you on Wednesday in my office. And dude, my, my heart, like I, I immediately knew I'm like, this is not good. This is not good. Don't worry. We just want to talk. And I'm just like yeah, I don't believe you. I don't believe you. And it turns out they didn't just want to talk. They took my badge and my gun for discrimination. And dude I, don't know how to explain it. It's even like thinking about, I go right back to that moment. It was like everything flipped upside down. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and I remember like I as a, shoot, how old was I? 30, I don't know, 32, 33, right around that point. I'm crying dude. Like I'm literally crying. I can look down and I've got tears splashing my badge and they took my badge. They took my gun. Like I'm some kind of a criminal dude. Drove me home took all my stuff. And then two days later, all of a sudden my entire, story, Was blasted all over national news, officer refuses gay pride parade, which wasn't even true. So it wasn't even a true story. It was, absolute lie from the Salt Lake Tribune that I didn't want to protect gay people. That was the narrative. And so. I'm now in, I'm now in like complete disarray. I don't know how I'm going to, I don't know what I'm going to do. And then the police department comes out and condemns me in front of everybody. We don't tolerate bias, bigotry, or hatred. So they didn't even do an investigation, bro. They, I was on, what's that? and smeared you publicly within the mainstream media. Oh dude I didn't, even get a chance to go through the process. Right? Hey this is under, investigation where we can't comment. It's under, oh no, don't tolerate bias, bigotry or hatred. Threw me under the bus, dude. And when that happened, I am, I knew it was over. There's, why in the hell would I want to go work for a, for an organization that doesn't, that is not inclusive, that is not diverse, that is not loving, that, that, is not tolerant, because that's who these people are. They, are tolerant unless you disagree with them, unless you have your faith. And so, That happened 10 years ago, dude. That was probably the most, it was one of the hardest things that I've ever had to deal with in my whole life really. Because, a difficult thing for you to deal with too, Because, the reason that knowing at least having this conversation with you and knowing a little bit about your personality, it seems like your, values and your morals drive your decisions every day. And that's very likely. dude I, you got to understand like I'm a sinner, right? I, yeah. You got to understand I believe these things as an ideal, but I fall short all the time. And so when I talk about this stuff, people think that I'm somehow, I think I'm better than someone else. And I'm, and I do not believe that. I must, I'm like, I look at myself as a very, imperfect person who needs a lot of help on a daily basis who needs to repent. But there are certain things that I just, I can't live with. Right. It's like I, I couldn't knowing how I felt when that assignment came down, I couldn't go and do that and then live with myself. Right. I couldn't because I don't believe it. It's crazy to me to see that happened in Salt Lake City of literally any city within the United States of America. well, well, Salt Lake City like I said, our state, man, we're quickly turning blue. And it's because we have so many nice Christians here. The kind of worship, not all, but there's many Christians that worship the gospel of nice and no quarrels, no contention. That's the highest level of, of, goodness when that's not true. Like it's we, have to stand up for truth. If we do not stand up for truth, we don't have, we won't have a, country. Does that make sense? It's like we, I try to articulate this to people. When you have something and you have a certain knowledge and you don't live up to that knowledge, where much is given, much is required. And so Salt Lake City of all places is that we should have been a city that everybody looked to Utah wow, those guys got it right. But unfortunately, we are falling fast. I don't know if you've read the book, The Letter to the American Church, but on my podcast, I had a man named Eric Metaxas. And he wrote this incredible book called letter to the American church. And it's just about how Marxism has infiltrated our churches and it's all going down in the name of niceness. You just have to, you just have to be really nice and not bring this stuff up because if we bring this stuff up as Christians, that's not what Jesus would do. And, I submit that's the exact opposite. Jesus, his very first words were to repent. Literally his first words on his mortal mission, repent. That means that we need to turn back to God. And right now our country is on the verge of complete destruction because of, what we've allowed from abortion to this sexual perversion that has entered into our school system. That's, in cartoons, right? This whole they, them, man, I'm telling you dude, like we are, inches away from Being wiped off this, the face of this planet right now because we totally, screwed it up. And so you spoke to a few things there and I'll touch on a couple of them. So the first one being the infiltration of liberal ideology within the church. I can't tell you how many churches I've drove past. in the last six months that are hanging a trans flag outside of their church. It's in, and again I'm somebody who's struggled with their faith several times throughout my lifetime and is still trying to work on that and grow in that, aspect of my life and find myself there, whatever that means. Right. But, even just seeing that and being so puzzled by the idea that, there would be some sort of, It is social infiltration of the ideologies that we're seeing that are very much founded in sexual perversion, right? Let's, put the Bible aside and let's just say you look at what's happening with the, trans ideologies the, hyper sexualization through TV shows, which you mentioned as well. All of those things that are the and, to find that within a church setting, something that is so. so. I don't know the right word for it. So sensitive, right? When you're putting yourself in a position of authority, when it comes to spirituality between somebody else and God, right? The, amount of power that you can wield within that setting is alarming if you utilize it the wrong way. We saw that within some of the things that have come out from the Catholic Church and so the other ways that, that faith has been weaponized and utilized by bad people, bad actors within those, settings to, to utilize that framework as a way to push their own ideologies or their own perversions or their own their own wants and needs, whether it be monetization, money, sexualization, those types of things. So to, to see that being outright pushed in front of a church where the very doctrine that these people claim to, to worship speaks pretty, at least from my familiarity of it, pretty clearly on those, subjects. And so to, see them just be outright just, Against the, very thing that they claim to, to represent is, pretty alarming, right? And, to say that like 2014 a decade ago when this happened to you, so to see that already within a community that is very of, I would say any, city that at least I know of within the United States, Salt Lake and, Utah specifically is very, religious in, this sense. And so to see that happened all the way back 10 years ago as a precursor to what we're seeing today, specifically, not Yeah. the institutions of the government with the police force, but also within the churches themselves over the last couple of years. Well and I don't know if it was a vision or whatever, however you want to look at it, but I saw what was coming. Like when I had my experience, I just had it just in my mind's eye. Right. Like when you think ahead it's like we're talking about the digital currency. We see that this is going to be a very, real possibility. Right. And so I saw. All of this stuff happening. I saw it, dude. I saw the sexualization of kids, what they were going to do. I was even warning on Facebook 10 years ago about pedophilia stuff, about, minor attracted people. I posted about that 10 years ago and people thought I was nuts. It's unbelievable. Hmm. was trying to warn people even way back then, this is coming. This is coming. This stuff's coming. And so that's why you can't change definitions like marriage. I don't care if people want to have a civil union. Great. Get the government out of all of our, relationships. Right. But, when you start to change definitions, that was the floodgate, bro. And I said that, I said, if you change the definition of marriage, which is, Between a man and a woman. If you change that, anything can go. And now what have we seen? What is a woman? You can't even define it. The left cannot define what a woman is. That's, how far we've gone. And what's next age. That's what's next. I'm telling you, there is no such thing as age. There's no such thing as men and women. Kids are now animals in school. Age is next and it's going to be pushed at an alarming rate and we are going to be like, how can you even come close to participate? The governor of our state of Utah, Spencer Cox, he vetoed a bill that would prohibit men from playing against girls in girl sports. he vetoed that bill. Now, luckily the House overrode him or they, the legislators ov

“If only we had a partner for peace.”That's been the refrain in the Israel-Palestinian conflict for as long as I've followed it. But the truth is you don't need just a partner — you need two partners able to deliver at the same time.So you could see it as a tragedy of history that Salam Fayyad joined the Palestinian Authority in 2002, at the height of the second intifada, just as Israeli society shifted hard to the right.A Western-educated economist, Fayyad is a technocrat at heart. And as the Palestinian Authority's finance minister, and then as prime minister, he dedicated himself to the spadework of state-building. His theory was that instead of waiting around for the peace process to deliver Palestinian statehood, he would just build a state — institutions, infrastructure, security, sewers and all — and then statehood would follow.And by many measures, he was remarkably successful. The economy boomed, crime plummeted, and in 2011 the United Nations declared the authority ready to run an independent state. But in April 2013, Fayyad resigned. And today, the Palestinian Authority in tatters, widely seen by Palestinians as corrupt and a failure.Fayyad is now a visiting senior scholar at Princeton. And I wanted to have him on the show to talk about his time building a Palestinian state. What did he learn working with the various factions — including Hamas — in Palestinian politics? What did he learn working with Israel? How did we still end up here? And what, given all he's seen and done, does he think should happen now?Mentioned:Into the Breach: Salam Fayyad and PalestineBook Recommendations:Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu and James A.

A Canadian peace activist was brutalized and murdered by Hamas in massacre. But Canadian liberals didn't like the narrative, so they changed it… Why are we giving billions of dollars to Iran? Why aren't doing everything we can to bankrupt this evil exporter of terrororism? Dennis deconstructs a recent article in Atlantic Magazine about how to achieve happiness. Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: Does it develop mind to write by hand; how would Dennis solve the Israel/Palestinian crisis; will the government be able to control EV's.
