A Prayer to Be Online With God
"Online communication seems to be the key enabler for us to work rest and play. I mean, the chances that you're even listening to this devotional online. The other night I was thinking about this subject while staring up at The Dark Knight sky. I portrayed since a poetry by saying there were stars twinkling, because they weren't, at least not to my naked eye. But I felt somber looking at that in different deepness of hidden space. I knew that all around me, the word was communicating. And yet God was still there. Almost silent. I say almost because Jesus Christ is the king of communicators. To such an extent that he is called the word. We say so much in our text messages, emails, and apps. But it's also meaningless, if not embedded in the word. All that needs to be said is fulfilled in him. So, let's pray to be online with God. To receive the word from the word, Carmel restless, Internet tuned minds and embraced the true life and light, which is simply him. Let's pray. Father God of the heavenly lights. I pray to you this day in the name of the word Jesus Christ. He loved me enough to die for me. I am privileged to pray by the leading of your gift, the Heidi spirit. I want to thank you for your patience with me. You see me when I'm distracted on my phone, tablet or PC, and you still wait for me. During my days or make it so pulled towards the idolatry of consumerism and self worship, you forgive me. When I am tempted to think that man is capable of anything, as I'm awed by the gadgets and technological advances, he reminds me that you alone are the tree doorway to creativity. When I believe the lie that the online world is proper living, you bring me back to reality. I'm perplexed my dear lord that you still want my company. I love you ABBA, now I'm so glad of your love for me, and for my family. Give me wisdom to obey your will. Finally, obedience with a delay is not obedience. I ask for a gift of maturity tea as I use technology in my daily life. Directly to use these tools for your glory. Remind me to use my time not waste it. Help me to bear fruit as I communicate with others because, at all times, I represent you.

Texas' Abbott begins 3rd term promising safer schools
"Texas governor Greg Abbott is beginning his third term, promising safer schools. Abbott was sworn in for new term 8 months after a gunman with an AR-15 style rifle killed 19 children and two teachers at rob elementary school in uvalde. Parents must know that their children are going to be safe when they drop them off at school every single morning. ABBA did mention the shooting itself during his inaugural address and didn't offer any specific solutions. We will not end this session without making our schools safer. It's not clear yet if Abbott wants to run for president next year, but blames the current president for the record number of migrants crossing the U.S. Mexico border.

Steve Bannon: 'They're Gonna Have to Kill Me to Stop Me'
"Is clear. This is all part and parcel of criminalizing conservatives in the speech in Philadelphia is the nadir or the crossing of the Yoruba con in that criminalization. But the idea that Steve Bannon, who's if there was one issue outside of the navy, perhaps if there's one issue that was closest to your heart in the last 6 years, it was building the wall that somehow you would build Americans out of money to build the wall. We've never had a donut. What we did in LPs. People want to see what we did their videos up and watch the movie saraka. Sicario. Sicario. Sicario is a story seen with Emily bloom. It's a story of El Paso, Texas, and Juarez. That's when we built the first wall straight up that multi cartels trafficked all the people. Look, I am so proud of the work we did and we're building one. Quite frankly, the ironies today is that mayor Adams has a team at the border today to find out what the causes are because he's made New York a sanctuary city. We literally have thousands of these unauthorized aliens coming into the country by 4.9 million. He's taken them when Abbas are busting up there, but now they're all going to New York. He's putting up in hotels in New York, social services are going to collapse. So Adam was actually sent a delegation to the, to the board of the day. He should have gone to the wall, or he should have, as you remember, Seth, we took it all over the country, saying every weekend of the phrase, every town's a boulder town, every space of border state, we went to Detroit. We went to Cincinnati. We went to Arizona. We started telling people we did conferences at the wall of the town of what were we telling them that this situation unless we finish the wall is going to get out of control and in 2022, it's so out of control that even Eric Adams on the day I get hold into a court is Senate delegation down there to find out what's going on. Look, I'm never going to stop. They're going to have to kill me to stop me, okay?

Kathie Lee Gifford: When We're Fearful, That Means We Don't Trust God
"I don't want to bring us down because this is such a, first of all, it's a joy for me to catch up with you. You're one of my favorite people in the world as you know. And I am thrilled about the way and we need prayer because Kathie Lee, it feels like we're all at each other's throats. There's so much tension. There's so much anxiety worry. But there's an answer. But there's an answer to the fear. There's an answer. There's an answer and the answer is right behind right in front of us. Right, right there. And it's so simple we stumble on it. There are more admonitions in the Bible about fear than any other thing. Fear not, don't be afraid. Don't be discouraged, you know, because you know why because God loves our faith in him. And when we don't, when we fear something, it means we're not trusting him. And God inhabits the praises of his people, and he despises, he hates his children to fear because that means they're not trusting in their ABBA father that he's going to supply all of their needs according to his glorious Richards in his son Jesus. And that's why it says, not because God is trying to put us down. He knows he made us. He knows we're going to be afraid. But he's saying stay close to the shepherd. Cling to your shepherd during everything and especially now.

"Kind of answers you just give it because it's the same questions, let's say. So this is at that but at the same time, of course, it's so hard and so painful. When I go back, it's not just like at the end of a job that's you just shut up your laptop and you go home and you sleep and you watch a movie. No. Stay with me. For example, one of the other stories I had done before I came here, it was for a book about non state actors and it's checking for us example of that. So we interview the women's section in rojava. And one of these women who've been awarded as a feminist all over Middle East. This woman saw she's from commercially. Since, you know, like a year she is a feminist doing this and she showed us her body because it was just less than a month when I slipper sales tried to kidnap her from a machine from the city that I am living in, you know? And when such an elderly woman showing the scars on her body or your imagine like as she could be killed, you can't just forget about this, you know? It could be you, not only that. It's like I'm a coach as I could. I am a female she is a female. It's much deeper than to just write about it. And that's no, it's something so deep, it's stay with you. So for me, of course, I told you I've been for a while disconnected to do even fixing or journalism. It was one of the main reasons that. I worked with the UNHCR because I thought I can't anymore due to journalism. Because I started with the war and I just do the worst war stories, you know? But in a new HDR, it was, again, IDPs and refugees and their stories, it was again hard. So I quit from the UN because I find myself again with the same context in a way. And what helped me, it was like a little bit to take some time off. And also to get the psychological Sessions, I get a psychiatrist and I done online session. I think yeah, this is why even the quantity of my work is reducing because of its reflecting to on this, you know, like it's linked to the psychological hardships to even if I am in communication sometimes I just have a lot of stories to do. I have a list that's with the I don't know kind of tens of stories that I still planning to do. But I don't have energy for that, even now I have the equipment. I have the camera. I have the things and they have guilt to not do it, you know? But I think this psychological hardships and accumulation. I am paying the cost of that because I didn't deal with that. I didn't have time for that. I didn't have anything to do with that. And this is why it's hard to just pick up the camera and go and do the story. You know, like it became harder now. Do you think when your residency gets sorted out and you can go back that you'll be ready to embrace it again? I mean, particularly with the risks because weren't you also didn't you also face threats before you left from multiple sides? I mean, there is a lot of nationalist Turkish nationalists or jihadists around. So I always avoid to mention a lot of information on the social platforms. And this is why I am not active on the social platforms as a way of protecting myself. And the aspect of where I am or what I am doing or I don't make a lot of noise about it. I just try as much as I can to be low profile. I am even recently was avoiding to stay with my parents because I felt if anything happened, I don't want to harden them. So I stayed in constantly. Also recently turkey are using drones assassinating people in Kobani and in different cities in commercially in different cities by identifying specific target civilian or military and you know like there is no way you can skip this because it's a drone and it's a Marcel. So it's like this is a little bit I feel like it's another level of way to be killed. So it's scary, but at the same time, when you think that all your friends relatives are on the ground, you know that you are not better than them. So you have to just go and continue this. You know, and accept it as a destiny. I've been part of this and they have to continue because even I am now in Europe. It's not relaxing. It's not like you can disconnect from what's happening there. It's not like you can't just leave your life as nothing happened. You can be normal person after that. I don't think anyone can do that. And neither me. So for me it's so important to continue this. For example, when so start Derek, she for March or before in her interview, the correspondent ask it here after the war, what you are going to do and she said, I want to be a journalist. For me, I am continuing the past and the dream of those people. It's not about me. It's about the community. It's about a project there. It's about the hope. It's about a lot of other things. You know, beyond my personality and just one individual out of millions, you know? That's it for this week's show.

"During the other. And sometimes maybe it's extra. For example, with this friend's Robert, working with the iHeartRadio and Jack Henry, there were working with me in rojava over a series of podcasts about the women's war. So I find all the correct ten days we were working day and night. So the last day we have appointment with a whole camp in this ISIS camp you know. So we woke up in the early morning and Jack he told me how about do you know what's my alarm thing? And I was like, what? And he said, like, I write it woke up how about it's waiting. So I was like, oh my God, they were so scared. That's every movement. They know that I'm waiting so they will be on time and woke up because I know that I'm there, you know? Then we were like, they were tired, you know? Because we worked hard. And then Robert was like, how about do you think we can cancel this interview? I was like, no. It's not a choice. You will do it. And he was like, okay. You know, like there was no choice, then of course we had amazing interview and we added, you know? But it's like a kind of they also cared, you know, like it's mixed same, you know, all of us who care. For example, Robert, he cooked for us when we stayed in the guesthouse in Raqqa and you know it's a nice thing, you know, it's not only me. It's a team, as I said, it's all of us we care about each other, you know. Yeah. But then as you highlighted, I mean, then they go home. And if there's either danger to you or damage to your reputation that's come about because of the reporting that they've done or that you've helped them do, then you're stuck with it and they're not. I mean, as I said, most of the people that I am working with them, they are trustworthy because they've been recommended from a trusted friend that's already I worked with them. And or for example, recently, there was a friend and he was like, how about I want to really to do this interview with this question woman? ISIS and I want to really to get access to her and there is no way can you find kind of illegal way to get her a phone or something, then I told him, no. Me, I don't risk my repetition. I am staying there and I want to not lose the trust of the authorities so far like I have that trust. I build it over the time and it's so important for me to continue this because otherwise I can't continue working on the ground. So it's like a kind of transparent relation when it's something like I know it's not right, simply I just say no, I don't want to be part of that, and I don't want to risk it. When they publish some stuff, of course, it's happened. There was a one story have been out and officials were super angry. And of course, they called me explained like this person just came for one time in rojava. They maybe sometimes over pro the opposition Syrian opposition. They don't know the Kurdish case or what's happening in Russia, it's kind of not understood by those people because most of those journalists that were covering for years either the regime side or the opposition with the rebels, you know. So when they came to Russia, it's something different for them, so they came with the stereotype in a way. And from my end, I try to explain as much as I can in one week about this system and we've done a lot of things, but if they don't see that, it's not my fault if they write it in a different way or paraphrase it in a different way. Their fault. So it's a communication process. You of course have your own work and particularly in 2019 you were writing about the Turkish invasion and you wrote a beautiful piece for the New York review of books and you were writing for The Daily Beast and how do you decide when you're going to keep the ideas and the stories for yourself and not give them away to the people who suddenly arrive from overseas and how do you sort of divide that up and carve out the time for your own work as opposed to helping other people with errors? To be honest, I have to highlight that also I am done the journalism all the time starting from 2013 or 12 until our days because journalism don't give you the basic to survive in the aspect of the financially and I am doing freelancing. So I've been in the humanitarian work as well with the MSF with the UNHCR. For a while. This is why I don't have a lot of kind of journalism out because first, not everyone will go into. I don't want to do it in the local media because now there is an over maybe 1000 local journalists on the ground. So from zero, there was no one when you started and now there are thousands. Everywhere. Even last time when we were covering with this 24 like a story of American withdrawing, there was a funeral, and we went and on this stage there was a I don't know hundreds of journalists with the camera and the person, the commitment with Assange was like, what is this never I saw this amount of people with this camera something. So I don't know, it's a reaction, maybe after the war, but it's there. So for myself, I was like, no, I was going to stick with the international media because I see the need for us as a local to be heard by telling the story by ourselves on the international media platforms. And this is hard to get there. At the end, I think it's already hard for the foreigner themselves. So for me, as a local, it's really harder even. And they do prefer to send their teams on the ground to cover such a conflict, not by a locals to be covered. And they understand this. And this is why, as I said, I changed my mind at the beginning, there was like, no, I want to do everything by myself, but then I realized that it's not about doing where you are going to publish it. Because you're teaching that in a different place and they are not interested in. And it's hard to get that. So while if you are given the story to someone who already the team of one of those outlets for sure it will be out. For me, the story has to be out. Regardless how, but it's hard to be out. So in this way of thinking, I give the story as we are co author, we call like we work it together. And I think, okay, I can't do this for a while until I have a real name out, then again, the trust of the international media that they will accept a directly from me. In 2019, when I was covering the invasion Turkish invasion at what happened, there was an agreement between SDF and Russia. So the Russian troops and the resilient region troops came and took over some parts of Russia. So the international journalists have to be evacuated out of Russia because technically there are illegally in Syria, not came in with the Visa from Damascus. They came from Iraqi, border kind of legally entry point. So they all get out and there was like I saw the gaps that someone have to cover this, you know? And they speak English. So I started to be honest, even I didn't have a time to reach out to anyone. They were reaching out to me and said, like, we are interested what's happening there. So just please send us and just you know like joining different interviews and covering on the ground with it. Because for me, at that point, I did a new, if I survive or not. I risk everything. I just am here who want to know more about this. I will benefit them. I was sending photos videos to everyone just to and I was telling them, please just publish just publish it please like just let's stop this invasion and to our days based on this political analytical people that they said one of the main reasons that invasion being stopped, it was like the.

"One care about those families how they are surviving. They are the one who paid the cost. They are the one who lost their fathers and mothers or the civilian victims. They don't show it, you know? So I don't point it's not always disagree with what they write and how they shape this story. No, this is kind of more or less fine. But the story itself, even I have argued with the different editors like why ISIS. Why we are covering this, why are we making celebrities? Why? You know, like why we are over covering this while we don't cover Syrian people. We don't cover the IDPs from our friend cities so they can get those cities have been occupied by touring. Those people even not getting support from the UN, why we don't cover this, you know? And they say how about really we don't know also cover this, but this is what the news won. This is what the editors want. And I think I can see from my experience that there is a gap between the editors who are kind of in it and their luxury offices and the amazing journalists who are in the field who are supersize it what they are seeing on the ground and wanted to cover, but they have to satisfy the editors. And this is how we end up to have a kind of little gaps in a way of covering in general, you know, like it's not a matter of like yeah, they shape it in this way. The problem, I think it's bigger. How this industry is working. How this industry deciding what they should cover why all of them they cover the same story, for example, from different countries or whatever, but why it's all on the same line we're supposed to have a media covering everything, you know? And when someone comes to you that you trust and wants to do one of those stories, like you've done, I feel like The Washington Post series that you worked on. I mean, some of that was sort of ex ISIS wives and children and did you say at the beginning of that, I'll do it, but why do you want to do this instead of an alternate story? That was 2019. So it was kind of still new. I didn't come to this moment that's really because recently, just I've been asked to do again another story about the camp, and I was psychologically now I can't. So this is good that I am now here to have a little bit distance even a friend of mine very close friend of mine she made a documentary about when ISIS women and she asked me to just have a look and I told her I just can't. You know, like literally I can't now, I need a little space from this subject. So with this Washington Post, why it was kind of interesting for me because we were a woman crew first. Two men correspondent, camera woman, photographer, and me. So we were 5 women that was for me like a dream. It was also why important for me because they highlighted a profile of our eyes is that no one cares, you know? Because everyone just cares about European about the Americans, but no one cares about Egypt, no one cares about ISIS from Tunisia or from Morocco. So this is what I like about it. And they said, we're going to fill in part there and it's a series, then we're going to continue in Morocco. So I said, great, you know? This is how we start working on that. But after the team left, there was a complementary interview that supposed to be done with this Moroccan person. That's we took his story last month. Because they went to the family and they have a message from the mother even, but it was like a new year at the end of December and the story have to be published and the team to get in the Syria, it's complicated to launch over. So they ask me to do an interview. So I done the interview and of course, again, I have the trust of the authorities there. So even I have the message the voice message from the mother for this ISIS guy Osman. And I played the voice message for him. Yeah, he was crying and I told him if he wanted to record a message, of course, there was a military forces around us and I asked their permission to do this for the mother. So this story, for example, I like it because of this angel, you know, it was completely different. And this person he was like kind of genuine regret. You know, like and I don't know. Sometimes you interact with them. It's different, you know? And do people come to you with a general idea? Here's what we'd like to do. We'd like to find this type of person, could you go find us for candidates that might be the main person in our story, the main source for the story? Or do they ask you, what do you think we should cover? So for example, there is a photographer from Reuters recently we were calling and he said, how about what kind of stories you think I have to come and I told him you are a photographer, so visually you need a very strong visual think, you know? So I think we can cover the rates against ISIS slipper cells in the desert. This is will be visually good at basically with the empty toro female brigade. It's like a strong with the woman with the mask and then they have their braids out. It's really amazing. I wanted to do it by myself. I didn't have a time, so I was like, if you would come and we can do it together, I do the video. You do the photo. Or for example, we do like this kind of drug stories because now it's become like a huge tool using in the world in Syria. So it's like a cartel there if we can find something about that. But this one is for investigation reports. So each subject is different each person when they are asking me it's different. What else we also the mother of the politician having have, the woman that's been killed in the beginning when they Turkish backed forces attacked rojava 2018, the first target for them it was killing this politician have been halaf. So I done this interview because the team left rojava that was not enough time. So identically interview with the mother, for example. So I identified the places. The characters, of course, we discussed, you know, we develop it how we want to study how we ship it. And even two days ago, I was still working on a translation for some of these clips. It's a process. It's not like a sometimes do you know like we do a lot of interviews. We discuss a lot. Sometimes it's not going anywhere. The team don't go. Don't come, you know? With the protection company from the UK, for example, they were working on a fiction series about ISIS women who came from Europe or specifically from the United Kingdom to Syria. And I'd done all the research materials on the ground. So we had a lot of meetings, a lot of the team didn't come. I was working all the time on the ground. Well, I mentioned to you that when I emailed you at first that I've worked with a lot of local reporters overseas over the years. And there's a situation that I'm very comfortable with usually which is I'm trying to find someone or a specific thing in a country. And then there's another situation which I've been in less times, but occasionally, which is more like some of what you're describing, where a person is setting up everything for me. I'll line up all the people for you all find them. And to be honest, it feels very uncomfortable for me. It's like someone is babysitting you in your reporting. And I don't like, I don't like that feeling. But I want to know what it feels like from your side. Does it feel like you are babysitting someone a professional reporter? I think I like it. I don't know maybe because we as a woman have this trend in our characters or me as a culture of this hospitality of our even sometimes when they are staying in the hotel, I am telling them I am grateful that my grandfather is not alive otherwise he will kill me how I have a guest and they are staying over in the hotel, you know. So I mean it's extra layers of core responsibilities and burden or like, for example, with this friend from F one, he gets sick. So I took him to the hospital and to the doctor and keep reminding him like I did you take the medicines because really I don't want any one of them to be harmed..

"Three of them said, yes, then I said, okay? Here we are. We get the car and we drive like a very, very fast and we get there. So such a thing, it's not only my decision. It's authority. It's the team. It's everyone. Another story with the ABC. We were in the rocka front lines, and we were looking for the Yazidi brigade fighters in order to interview them. We couldn't because the front lines, it was very like a kind of all around the city, so it was a lot of different brigades and factions. It was hard to find who is where. We find YPJ female fighters unit. So we said, okay, we're going to interview them, and they knew them before. So I interviewed them and the commander she's a friend of mine. So Derek, and she was a great we had amazing interview with her. She was the she drive us to the very front lines and when we get to her kind of very front point. She told us if you would stay here because during the night the American are like bombarding and air striking and it's all amazing footage, you would like it. It's all kind of light. You know, like there. So stay on stay with us and I will go, you know? Because she knew me, she wanted to give a favor. She wanted to have exclusive access. And of course, you know, like it's such amazing offer. You don't want to miss that. It was in and there was a security adviser and the correspondent. So three of us, we sit and we discussed about that. And at the end, we said, okay, we can't stay because the team already decided to leave. You know, like it was the last day supposed to be. It was 15 days. We are working, so it was the last day. So they said, we have to leave. We left. They crossed to Iraq, the day after, I started to receive the news that this commander saw started direct shift for the with her members, deprecated. The place that we supposed to stare at that night, mistakenly, being bombardment by the American and killed many fighters, including soda and her colleagues. So, you know, like, this is the situation. And of course, in the ABC team, they were super attached by this incident. And even the audience who already were following her story the days before. I mean, it's reflected very hardly on the team in New York and everywhere and they were calling me and even crying and it was hard moments for all of us. So I told them we can continue her story. We were going to show her funeral. You are not here. I am here. Let's do it like this. Let's show the Americans what it's happening here. Let's show the Americans how easy to lose your life here. Let's show them what is the cost to protect the all security all over the world to defeated ISIS, it's such a woman you know, such a great people like her. So the accepted and I sent them the footage of her funeral and they added extra moments to her story and yeah, do you know until our days every anniversary of her march or hood at that day, we are sending messages to each other we remember and care. You and the crew. Since 2017, the American team. Yeah. Do you always sort of see the outcome of the stories you assist with? And are there times when you see it? And it bothers you or there's something about the way it's framed that you feel like you were here, you saw this and then you went home with this story. It's not the story that you should have. Of course, most of the time I am following the final story when it's out, you know, like when I started this, I couldn't follow up to be honest, even, I didn't have kind of archive of that when I been in Berlin 2021 for this residency issue I needed that are kept. So I started to make a tube. It was the first time for me, even to see some of those stories that it's been out and I didn't see it. I don't know. It's just like a too much crowded back home, you know. So yeah, of course, not always I agree with the way that it's been shaped or out. Sometimes what's bothering me, it's like, you know, like this kind of journalists who think that they are clever enough to understand deeper than the locals or they don't get the context, but they just write it in a way that they think it's the right while it's really not matching the reality on the ground. But sometimes, of course, I message them and then recently we had a story with the telegraph about this ISD radicalizing center and the united in the title Guantanamo. So I was like, why this word is there, you know? It's completely opposite of what we've seen on the ground. It's not torturing place. It's totally the opposite, you know? And I said, yeah, we don't write the titles. It's the editors. It's not us. And in this case, you know, like, again, it's industry. And of course, what's bothering me, for example, in covering Syria, I always say it like the international media framed and showed ISIS either victims and short Syrian as we are the one who is responsible for that. Which is not the right thing to do. You know, like a Syrian Arthur victims, myself, I lost my brother in the wall on the hand of the ISIS. So but the media, how they are showing this and how they are covering that. It's like that. For example, they came and they keep reporting about ISIS kids in the camp. But never they report on the fighters or funds. Who are the victims of ISIS? No one care about those families how they are surviving. They are the one who paid the cost. They are the one who lost their fathers and mothers or the civilian victims..

"And of course, I was already in the front lines and I was like, it's been like a month since I was there. So I knew everyone and it was kind of little easy for me. I was already doing this. By myself. So if I have extra people, it's not only that. At this time, we have a car. We have a paid driver and a car while in my case and my friend case, we were always hatching on the checkpoint and going to The Rock of frontlines with the logistic cars with the ambulance car with whatever it's in your mind. We always, you know, and we find more stories in this way. So this time it was a lecture to be in a card with the crew. You know, like it was great. So I went with them to the front lines and of course I told them everyone covered in this area, let's do another way. So we went to the south front lines of Raqqa while there was a senior ISIS train or whatever I'm here to use it to be in that neighborhood, mansura in rocka city. So when we arrive at their it was everything still there, you know, like the signs and everything that the woman with the pork or the ISIS flag and everything. So it was a very great footage in that moment. When they published it in the TV the TV station they sent online an air me as a producer with them. And all the journalists who were covering Al mussel in Iraq, they were watching that. So they started to say, who is this robot because the TV writes the name, you know? Thanks to robot and then they write it down and I started to receive like countless number everyone say we will come to rocka from Mosul and we want to work with you, you know? Because they know that it's someone local who have to be there and understand the story. So I get money, then I worked with another team, I get enough money, then I go and I bought a camera and I started to continue shooting our documentary and refusing the assignments with the foreigners. But in bar goals, for example, I came back because some friends were literally big into me, like, please. We were not come if it's not you. Then I was like, okay. Me also, do you know it's kind of addiction? The front lines, you can't stop it. You can't resist a little bit like smoking somehow then you are end up say like yes when you are there, then you can not stop it again. So this is how I've been in this involving every time. And of course, I have a close friends, those groups that we work together most of them have been close friends. So when they came, it's like automatically, yes, you know? Have you ever wondered whether New York City bagels are really better because of the water? Or why the mafia got its start in Sicily's lemon groves? Or if those CBD infused seltzers actually do what they promise. Gastropod is a podcast exploring food through the lens of science.

"And as a cost, I couldn't study what I wanted to be. So I just started into literature and I graduated from AliPay university 2010. I was planning to do a master or travel outside of Syria, but the war started, this is why I couldn't continue my education regarding political science. So I do journalism since 2012 almost. Of course, in the Kurdish area there was no journalism that was no journalist outlets. There was no nothing. It was all based in the big cities, basically. So when we started it was from scratch and it was with the very limited tools there was no smartphone yet. The Internet it was something new for us. The laptops, it was expensive. So you know like all this tools also, it was not there, not like even for the cameras. It was like no commuter shops, you know, except like you go to just take a photo for the ID. Even I remember the first person who gave us a training for the camera it was a person who uses to film the readings. You know, like, this is how we start this. And for myself, I was just going to the Internet with the cafe show don't download it some materials from the BBC or whatever how to do the news or articles or stuff like that. Having that and go back home and read that, you know? And were you starting a publication with people? Was it a group of you? So basically, it was like kind of 15 of us, almost all of us we were just new gradually from the university and in March 2013 we established local news agency Anaheim in Grosjean comes. We do believe we have to document it what's happening there. It was basically the demonstrations at that time end of 2011, beginning of 2012. And from myself, why I wanted to really the journalism because it was always watching the photos or read about the massacres took place against the Kurds and see that there is a very limited resources. It's like either someone from outside came and have a few photos or a few things. You know, about it. So out of that idea, I was always feeling like, why we are not doing something. We are on the ground and maybe I said who we're going to bombardment everywhere and all of us will be killed. So who we're going to talk about here, because there was no international journalist who interested in that area. It was all about Damascus and the opposition. So this is why this idea of we need to document it. What is happening? That was the basic goal for us. And how much of it were you trying to document it for your fellow citizens, your fellow local population of people versus trying to document it for the world at large and the hopes that someone would come pay attention to what you were reporting on. At that time, we were using two languages Arabic and Kurdish for the Kurdish we knew that the court people also basically the one who are from rojava, they would not be able to read that one because we speak our language, but we never been educated in this course to read and write our language. So we were just doing that for an Arabic for the rojava people because the other part of Kurdistan, they don't speak. And for the Syrian people, I don't think they were to our days interested in that area. So as I said, it was just like throwing Gaston in a scene, or like we don't know if there will be equal or not. We don't know if really someone interested or not, but we knew if there will be a massacre, someone will go back and check what was happening there, then it's there. And how did you keep it going? How did you find the resources and the equipment and everything else to be able to do it? For example, mine and my siblings, we are all used to studying the college. So my father, he bought a one laptop for us. So I had the laptop another friend have very small camera, very small like a basic one. And the normal phones we have at that time. So I remember later on, we have the Internet in my apartment in my parents apartment, and I remember it was super slow and basically we said in the video with a very shitty quality to be honest. But even though it was so hard to send it, I will go to sleep and my hands still on the laptop. You know, like sometimes I will wake up at three and just check, okay, it's still like going on, you know? Like such I really, if I describe it to you like we didn't have a car. So for example, they were establishing counsels and stuff in different villages and stuff around the city. We didn't have a car either we're going to stop civilian cars and ask them a ride, or we were going to just stay on the road until we find someone like be merged to us and say, like, okay, come over like many times we get sick because we were standing under The Rain, you know, like with just without umbrella and just standing like that until someone was like, ah, come go..

"Hello and welcome to the long form podcast. My name is Evan ratliff. The other hosts of the show are max linsky and Aaron lammer. They're here with me now. How are you guys? Good day. Good day. Hi, you guys. It's so nice to see you. I missed you. Evan, I'm excited about this week's show. I feel like it's been a long time coming. I'm so glad you finally did it. Tell us about your guest. Well, you guys know I don't like to over promise on these shows, but I personally am really excited about the conversation that I have with this guest. Abbas, she is a journalist and producer from northern Syria over the last decade. She's reported on the Syrian Civil War. The fight against ISIS, the Turkish invasion of northeastern Syria and all about the Kurdish region, which she's from. And over that time, she's also worked with a bunch of international news outlets as what's kind of commonly in the business known as a news fixer or a fixer. And that can mean a lot of different things, but basically it's someone on the ground who assists international journalists who show up and want to do reporting and it can mean logistics, finding sources, security, translation, getting access to people and places, and if you've listened to the show, a lot of the foreign correspondents we've had on mention this type of person, the local journalists they've worked with and they're often very appreciative of this person. I myself have worked with local reporters on a lot of different stories and a lot of the overseas reporting that you read that's most incredible. It's just impossible without fixers. And habat is one of the best on the planet at this. So she's worked with ABC, The Washington Post, der Spiegel, Sunday times daily mail, tons of TV stations in Europe, print outlets in Europe. She actually won this award called the Kurt shork award last year for news fixer of the year. So, for a long time, I've wanted to talk to someone who does this type of work about what it's like for them. And how about is a brilliant journalist in her own right and I wanted to talk about what it was like to balance her own work and doing this type of fixer work, how difficult it is in a war zone, what it's like to stay there when the rest of the crew goes home and she was just incredible talking about this stuff. So I'm very, very excited to have her on. I am excited because we have been trying to do this episode for I would say one full decade at this point to talk to a producer. That's how long it takes apparently for us to make this happen. So very exciting. Yeah, it's an important one. And I legit can not wait to listen. We are brought to you in partnership with vox media who help us make this show. Thanks to them. And now here's Evan with habat Abbas. Welcome to the show. Welcome to long form podcast. Thank you, Ivan. And you're in Berlin right now. That's right. Yes. I am in Berlin waiting for the border between rojava and Kurdistan to be open to go back home. And what took you to Berlin in this moment in the first place? So basically I get a scholarship with the reporter without border in 2020, but because of the pandemic, I couldn't around. I've been here in Berlin from May until September. And when I was here, the training it was four months. So it's finished, but the American withdrawing from Afghanistan happened and we could see how the women are what they are facing after that. So RSF they discussed with me, that if I go back to rojava and we know that's in a moment the American withdrawal again from there has already they then partially 2019. So they said we can't help you in a way and we do believe like you are will be a target for those different kinds of troops that they wanted to attack. Basically turkey. And as a security plan, we want to help you to issue kind of residency, freelance, to Europe, basically Germany in order to if anything happened there on the ground, you'll be able to get out of the rush hour because even without this, I can not even cross to Iraq. You know, like there is only one entry point to Iraq and with my Syrian nationality. I can't cross with that. But with the European residency, I can at least cross to Kurdistan and this is how I get one year residency and planning to continue my work as a journalist and do stories from the ground as time. Can you tell me a little bit about where you're from originally and sort of how you got into journalism? So basically, I bought a 1988 and comes with one of the biggest city in northeast of Syria in Grosjean now. And it's kind of ironic when I born at that time, it was a war in Syria. It was like a Syrian embargo in 88 because of this attack on Israel and then there was a sanctions against Syria and they remember my parents, they said, when you burn, there was a no milk for the kids at that time. And my father have to go until Thomas, it's a city like a 700 kilometer until he gets some milk, for example, to just bring it at that time for me. So even my when I came, it was already like in Syria like embargo on the war and at the same time for the Kurdish people there was a halibut happened and far massacres from Saddam Hussein against the Kurds in the Kurdish in the Kurdistan in Iraq. So it's like a kind of 88. It was already a year of massacres and killing and the war in both Syrian Iraq and of course Kurdistan in the middle of this. I lived in commercially. I started my education at the primary school until high school in there. Then I moved to Aleppo in university, I started English literature in the AliPay university. Of course, my choice, it was to study journalism and political science. But I was not a member of Alba's party. And there is a special section in the court it was not possible to get in, even if you will get in as a curd as a minority, you have to be a member of Al bass party. Were you forbidden from joining the party because you were Kurdish or was it that you choose not to join and then you were discriminated against because of that? No, I was not a member of the party because my father used it to be communist and not believe in genal boss party ideals and didn't find it like its fit our cause as a Curt and our principles. So my father he was not a member and he already educated us to not be. And of course, I didn't find myself neither in Alba's nor in any event Kurdish party to our days. You know, like I don't think the political parties in Middle East they are playing kind of right way to serve the people. So to our days, I am not a member of any party..

Executive Director Josh Abbotoy Tells Us About American Reformer
"Folks. I'm talking to Josh ABBA toy. He is the executive director I neglected to mention earlier of American reformer American reformer dot org. Tell us Josh, what is American reformer? Thanks, Eric. American reformer is a journal for Protestant civic and cultural engagement. We launched this Nate Fisher and Aaron wren are the two individuals that launched this over the summer. I joined about two months ago. I was so compelled by the vision. The idea is that Protestant Christians need their own platform for strong emerging voices who take a rigorous approach to the important cultural issues of the day. So you probably are aware of some great magazines that already do this with a broader platform like first things publications like that. We love those publications, but we also sat down and said, okay, we also need to be intentionally cultivating the next generation of thought leaders from the Protestant circles, right? We love our Catholic brethren. But in some ways, the discussion is sometimes more advanced among Catholics. And we want to be encouraging protestants to be engaging on these issues at a very thoughtful level. So that's what we're doing. But it's all with an action orientation. So we want to be writing for people who are in positions to make changes. So pastors, seminary students, seminary professors, lay leaders and people of influence in their local churches. That's really our core

"It's not dancing Queen anymore. It's dancing and apostrophe queen. There's nothing anyone can stop. I mean like Mamma Mia! or the Mamma Mia! movies and the musical, that is rose wave the movie, right? That is the anti Super Bowl. It's nothing. When I saw that in the theater, it was queers. It was women. It was so empowering. It's just a lot of very silly fun. So that is their enduring legacy. Is just this smile you get on your face whenever you hear any song even really sad slow ones. Exactly. I would say a big part of it for me personally and the other people my age that I know love ABBA as much as I do is Mamma Mia!. It was such a moment when the second movie came out, Mamma Mia! here we go again. It was the sequel. We were all waiting for with bated breath. I thought there was no way that they could make a better movie than the first one. I was wrong. Oh my God. It's the same amount of camp, I would say as the first one with just a much larger budget and as much as it did fill my heart with so much warmth, all of the moments that the songs wanted you to like really feel something deeply emotional, that I did. Something about the music is that it's all so deeply emotional and so invoking of joy or laughter or just complete utter sadness or so the final scene of Mamma Mia! here we go again is a baptism of both Sophie and Donna and their respective children, getting baptized and they're in the same church. They're singing, I'll be waiting for you. And I saw that movie with my mom in theaters the day that it came out. And we sobbed for 20 minutes after the movie. And there's no way that scene would have been as nearly emotional without that specific ABBA song and I would put their whole lives into that. Let me tell you, I just, I lived for it. Those movies just do the music so much justice. And I appreciate that so much. I would also say another really big part of it is that ABBA is kind of currently aware of their audience and they're really meeting people where they're at. When people on TikTok started making remixes of Abe's songs or started singing ABBA songs like ABBA is so responsive on that platform specifically, and they kind of knew even before they joined the platform that they had an audience on there, and they really were able to capitalize on that. I think they have a few million TikTok followers now. And I'm willing to bet it's mostly people my age or younger. Yeah, it's probably not people my age. Yeah, I mean, when you talk about ABBA's musical legacy, this is gonna rankle any of the raucous that Glenn was talking about earlier. The Robert Chris callas of the world. But in a way, ABBA, I feel like is on a continuum that goes back to The Beach Boys. And The Beach Boys were making pop music, but they were making Technicolor pop music. They were making pop music using every part of the mixing board, you know? Just like a million little precise components that are adding up to something that somehow sounds effortless, even though it is literally the farthest possible thing from effortless. That, to me, is the legacy. They are a really a part of the pop music continuum as like something that is the result of incredible hard work and craft. And I think they're very, very important in that way. Now, the peg for us to have this conversation was that ABBA has put out a new album. Voyage is Abby's first album in 40 years as I have already mentioned. What do you guys think of the new album? To be honest, I thought it was fine. I thought a lot of the sounds were really evocative of the music that they released 40 years ago. But to be honest, there weren't as many bangers as I was hoping. That's what I was really counting on. So when they released, don't shut me down. That was immediately like my favorite of the two singles that they released of that and I still have faith in you. It sounds classically ABBA. I just wish there was a little bit more on fit in there, you know? Sure. Yeah, I agree. It is kind of ballad heavy and most of these songs start pretty slow. So we had some folks over at me, were like, let's do it. New ABBA. And song would start and we were all looking at each other like we were going to start popping. And you know, the first song on the album I still have faith in you is has some pretty strong carpenters vibes, which makes sense, I guess, but there is an ode to shared custody on this album called keep an eye on Dan. There is a ballad about the disappearance of the bumblebees called bumblebee, so you know, their concerns have changed. I think it's safe to say. But.

"If you saw the game on saturday night between missouri and kentucky. You saw a lot of chris broderick against junior monster game. The co offensive player of the week in the sec and he joins us now from lexington. First of all chris congratulations. I know you're team. You wanna move ahead but man what a what a performance it was fun it a good one. Let's let's go back in and that was a huge game. Everyone knew how important it was for the cats to beat missouri Take us through the week of preparation. We head coach on thursday night. And it i'd say you guys were ready to play that that would be the understatement of the year sir so throughout the we just knew that we had abba chip on our shoulders because last year you know we felt we were prepared but our energy just wasn't there so we felt like we all wanna coaches told us like. Are you going to let them out play you. Are you going to let them out. Execute you and we knew we couldn't let that happen again so we went in with the mindset that we had to go in this game of wanna ask you about that because fans like like the folks that i talked to her every day we get. We get hung up on what happened last year and and and wonder often whether it carries over but coach stage said the exact same thing i mean. How do you eighty psychological here transfer. How do you transfer that bad feeling into you does it. Does it affect the way you practice. Prepare because you're you're supposed to be dealing with the techniques of it. I mean motion is part of football. But i'm really curious how that affects you as a player so one We had a video from last year where they showed beauvoir sidelines. I think kelvin. Joseph have made a good tap on the sideline and then they were getting Hype and they showed are sidelined. Dolphins was obvious on the bench or whatever and we were just sitting. There are cheering or nothing. You know he showed us that video in it. Obviously practice a lot harder throughout the week.

"Yes, My name is actually been Abbas, but it's related to what happened before 9 11 and after 9 11 I go by the name, Ben, um especially more So after 9 11 because Um If I go by the name Ben Abbott. You tell right away that I'm Muslim. Um, I'm afraid to say that when 9 11 happened, I was very, very embarrassed, ashamed and also afraid at the same time. I was a young medical student at the time, and I remember being so embarrassed when when the planes hit I was in the hospital. You know, you know, studying and, um remember, people were getting upset, and I knew instantly that it was a terrorist attack from Muslim groups. Um It's unfortunate what happened at the time. But over the years I've seen a huge change Muslims being small, more accepted at my workplace and everywhere else, I think Um, like Siddiq was saying changes happened? I know. Um, Islamophobia continues, but In my opinion in a dramatic change and improvement in the way we have seen in the world that's encouraging. You said at the beginning of your call that you were embarrassed and ashamed. After the 9 11 attacks. Obviously, you didn't perpetrate them. So I wonder if you could talk about where you think those emotions came from. Those emotions came from me, knowing that it was horrendous thing that happened and it was perpetrated by Muslims. But also you know where I used to train and work at the time. And was predominantly, um, Jewish institution and a lot of people. They were very, very upset, I guess rightfully so about terrorist attack, But they pointed right away and says a lot of Disparaging things about Muslims. I would go out of my way to Not let anyone know that I was Muslim. It's sad to see but that was just the reality of my life at the time. What was the conversation like? If there were these kinds of conversations in your own family, or among other Muslims, you know, and yourself about the fact that the terrorism was committed and sometimes is committed. At least as the terrorists are concerned in the name of the religion, Um Uh, what? What kind of conversations? Is that? Or just even thoughts in your own head? Has that prompted Well, you know, I'll give you an example. My brother's name is Mohammed. When 9 11 happened, I noticed all of a sudden he's going by mode all the time. And his friends will call him more as well. I think he was also trying to shield himself because We were worried about, you know, repercussions and attacks against Muslims and also that nagging sort of embarrassing feeling that well, someone from my group did this. Horrendous thing. Two innocent civilians. You know, our conversations were always sort of. Unfortunately finding with the kind of Assimilate. But also not revealing too much background just so that we don't get mistreated. Because of what happened in 9 11, But like I said, a huge improvement, at least in my observation over the years, Ben Thank you so much for your call. We really appreciate it and will continue in a minute. Brian Lara on W. N. Y C. I'm Maria Rosa. Next time on Latino USA 20 years ago, the events of September 11th shocked the world and forever changed life in the U. S, including the future of immigration in this country and remember paying attention to that because I still had a little bit of hope that I was going to travel to DC. So there was that sense of like postponement and we're just like waiting for things to get back to normal..

And before you leave, Get your hands on an ABBA Zaba, the candy Bar of the month here at Capital Financial Welcome back to the Financial Safari. I'm Chuck Keeton, along with consumer advocate Dave Perkins and the man who was as he mentioned earlier. He's got 30 years without a complaint from anybody. He is the coach Pete and coach. You've got so many accolades. Movie production Emmys. Uh, best selling author Let me tell you some most proudest about the best selling author. And I really believe that because I have read some of those books and I tell you I have learned a lot in the three years that I know that we have reconnected our goals for our clients to retire once and retire for life and not have to worry about going back to work. And Dave. That's vitally important these days. It really is and and how that plan you said, get the strategy first strategy first, as always, instead of product and you can tell right away. If you're dealing with someone who's trying to sell you something I can. I mean, that's had took a bunch of psychology quest is that Carolina as well as quest I took another twice is but psychology of selling and you can tell when they try to back here in the corner when you're in a place car lots. A good example of that, Chuck? Yes, right. Especially the used one. Like my Yeah, I don't like this guy like buying a car every now and then. And then I wrote about that in my book, the fine print fiasco. What they don't want you to know when you buy, borrow and invest, and I've had over the years That book's been out awhile I've revised at once, but I've had I've had quite It's called me after they got the book and went to a car lot. They took the book with him. And one person said they deal with the guy. The sales guy saw the book and he got scared. What is that? Is that look, you know, turn right to the chapter on buying a car and you get really scared. They had a very good experience because the guy didn't pull any dirty tricks. No. You know, the biggest thing guys is, you know, if you've got a bundle of cash in your wallet, you can do a little bit better than having to go through financing and all the other things they want to sell you. You know those little tricks of the well, here's one of the things that people Confused, I think or they become confused when they go to Carl Water before they go the car like they think they're going to get a better deal. Because of this, you go in and say I'm going to pay cash. Well, the car lot doesn't like that. Carla wants you to finance. So you walk in saying I'm gonna pay cash. Give me better service. They're going to give you were service because I'm not going to make as much money on, you know, they still make it go to the F and I department. It's called the Finance and Insurance Department. Even if you're going to pay cash, Chuck, because I know because I but my daughter car last year with cash, I guess where I had to spend 20 minutes of my life, right? You had to answer all the questions as to why you don't want to. I just sat there and I did the little post. Recommend. I've crossed my arms and I just historically looked at them and say not interested. It's like the time share it is so yeah, you just said, but you don't have a free steak. There we go. I'm just gonna say the safe. I swear that well, you talked about those four little logo things. There we go. A little delay, Chuck, but you deserve that. I like the Rolling Stones. I like what you said about satisfaction. But I'm not sure about the other three things. You're right. So let's talk about the four emotions of investing. This is very, very important because we overlooked this a lot of times because it's so simple that we just overlook it. Number one is fear. And then what does that mean? Well, we're framing. This is a couple of fears here. The fear that my daughter told me about years ago, when I saw this abbreviation that didn't recognize it's good. It's sometimes good to have a young Kid in your house, right? Because you can learn these abbreviations. You don't understand. Like l o l I don't know what that meant for a while laughing at well, But I saw this foam O f o M o and I said Kerry, what is foam? Oh, tell daddy what foam? Oh, is she said Daddy? You know it was silly workout, do you? Why do you not know that daddy? Fear of missing out Fomo and a lot of people will jump into a stock. Or Bitcoin or something out there. Cold silver. They don't want to be because they heard it's getting ready to go up. And guess what, Chuck. They don't want to be miss out to miss out. Yeah, absolutely. And so they jump in when maybe everyone else is jumping out. And so the fear factor also comes in. Let's say you're you've done a lot of research on a stock. It's been a very good stock or mutual fund or whatever you are anything you've invested in your life. You've done a lot of research and all your research came true. It was it was what you thought it would be. There's no gimmicks, and it was just Just a bad time for the stock. The stock was cycling down for some reason. Well, people are afraid of losing all their gains if they had a lot of games, so they sell out And then the minute you sell out, guess what happens sometimes goes up or or vice versa. The minute you by guess what happens in the carpet comes out. It goes down about this fear, though, Coach the fear in and we're talking about pre retirees and the fear of not having enough money. And so we take it for granted. What we do the number one fear that we're number one thing we do when someone comes in as we make sure you have a lifetime income. You can never live to go along with Social security. Dave, you're familiar with so security very familiar. And so you're not there yet? No, I'm not there. I know you interview a lot of guys throughout the nation who talk about Social security, although we can't live on that alone, No, but but it's It's just some extra change. We call it the frosting on the cake, but the cake better be good to Yeah, contributed to the frosting. I used to do that with the G's cupcakes. So would you remember those big things they've got? Gigantic butter frosting on top of the cupcake. I couldn't tell you what the cupcake tasted like, By the time I got done with, like, half the frosting. I was in a sugar coma, and I wasn't going back. Exactly. Ever done that. Yeah. And my mother let me look the bowl every time. Yeah, well, that was before they said eggs were bad. That's right. That's what happened to you. Uh, Where's that?
