We've seen poll after poll after poll where Americans say: ‘We want a ceasefire. We want to stop sending weapons to kill children. We don't want to see dead kids and doctors and journalists on our social media every single morning when we wake up.’“And you see elected officials repeatedly vote the opposite, continue to do the bidding of external interests instead of their own constituents' interests. It creates this disconnect in a way that is really, really damaging to American democracy.”He goes on, explaining how Biden himself is at the root of this divide.“Joe Biden has been willing to make exceptions for the destruction of Palestinian life in a way that we've never seen a United States president be willing to do. And I can't think of another way of rationalizing it other than you just don't believe that Palestinians deserve life. And that is, frankly, just rooted in hate.”But it isn’t just the Dems, they explain. In the interview we also go through Trump’s new cabinet picks, who, in line with mega-donor Miriam Adelson, are all deeply in the pocket of the Israel lobby.It’s like Biden promised in his 2020 campaign: “Nothing will fundamentally change.”00:00 Intro01:16 Blinken abandons 30-day ultimatum14:39 Trump's pro-Israel cabinet28:44 Biden wants to hit a reporter in the head30:29 Elizabeth Warren calls Tulsi Gabbard a Russian agent36:13 Josh Paul and Tariq Habash interview37:20 Why did you resign?41:26 A Palestinian-American working for Biden43:16 Could Blinken be held liable?46:29 What was the point of the fake ultimatum?53:08 Biden vs Trump: What will be the difference?59:02 Does the admin have any credibility?1:04:14 A New Policy1:07:40 What's happening in the state dept now?1:10:30 Why back a losing policy?1:16:21 Biden's true thoughts on Palestinians1:21:00 The mass rape hoax1:26:43 Tariq's family in Palestine1:31:55 How to helpOur Sponsors:* Check out Chilipad and use my code sleep.me/USEFUL for a great deal: https://sleep.me* Check out Mint Mobile and use my code mintmobile.com/USEFUL for a great deal: https://www.mintmobile.com* Check out Mint Mobile and use my code mintmobile.com/USEFUL for a great deal: https://www.mintmobile.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/useful for a great deal: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
