Congress Splits on Israel Funding, Biden's Memoir, New Monkey Species, Kevin O'Leary | TMI Ep421
from The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan
A dramatic House vote on U.S. funding for Israel exposed a growing political realignment, Joe Biden announced a memoir that already has critics joking about who actually wrote it, scientists identified a brand-new monkey species in one of Earth's last unexplored rainforests, and Kevin O'Leary finds himself defending explosive accusations about China in court. Today's TMI Show separates the headlines from the hype and explains why each story matters.On today's TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan:• Thomas Massie forces Congress to take a public stand on Israel funding. His amendment failed, but 103 Democrats voted to eliminate $3.3 billion in military aid to Israel—an outcome that would have been nearly unthinkable just a few years ago. We examine what this vote says about the Democratic Party, the shifting politics surrounding Israel, and why both pro-Israel organizations and Democratic leadership pushed back.• Joe Biden is writing another memoir... allegedly. The former president promises an inside account of his presidency and decision to exit the 2024 race, but critics are already reviving jokes about ghostwriters, autopens, and whether the book will answer lingering questions about his final years in office.• A new monkey species has been discovered in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In an era of satellites, AI, and Mars missions, scientists are still identifying entirely new primates on Earth. We explore what the discovery tells us about biodiversity, conservation, and how much of our own planet remains unexplored.• Kevin O'Leary's China accusations come back to haunt him. The "Shark Tank" star is facing a defamation lawsuit after publicly suggesting opponents of his Utah data-center project were connected to the Chinese Communist Party. We discuss why casually labeling people "foreign agents" has become increasingly common—and increasingly risky.Smart analysis. Bigger questions. Stories that matter.New episodes weekdays at 10:00 a.m. ET.
