Democrats Are Threatening Israel's Very Survival
"You know it's interesting when israel one it's independence the state of israel and people get confused with that and how how long the jewish people have been there the jewish people have been there for four thousand years but the modern state of israel the establishment of the state of israel it was proclaimed on may 14 1948 within a few hours president truman issued from the white house a statement that said the states united government recognized the provisional government as the de facto authority the new state of israel two days later the soviet union followed with a formal recognition to an exchange of letters by stalin's right -hand man stoff and should talk the foreign minister of israel and it said confirm your receipt of your telegram on may 16 in which you inform the government of the ussr of the proclamation on the basis of the revolution of the united nations resolution november 1947 of the creation of alzheimer the independent state of israel make requests for the recognition of state of by the ussr i inform you in this letter that the government of the ussr has decided to recognize officially the state of israel and its provisional government so today's so two days later the soviet union recognizes israel and from that moment until 1967 formal diplomatic relations but seven diplomatic relations were broken off and weren't resumed until 1991 one the . also israel's closest ally the state of israel was established was not the united states it was france. france was israel's closest ally and it's believed that france provided israel with certain technological information to enable them to build atomic weapons it was france. eisenhower was a little chilly toward israel at least at the toward the end by the despite what some israeli officials are saying at the highest levels in even worse than obama even though obama's acolytes are surrounding biden in instituting their ideological agenda the fact is you can see since obama's presidency that the demographics of the country enhance the demographics of the democrat party have significantly changed. there's more islamists operating under the umbrella of the democrat and receiving tenure and receiving student visas and all the rest of it than during the obama administration and exist big time now and being funded by billionaires and they're being lost network and others

If You're a Marxist, You Cannot Be a Practicing Jew
"I just saw a report where Bernie Sanders is demanding that any aid to Israel will be conditioned on basically destroying Israel and in in that that report they said Bernie Sanders is Jewish. Jenny Raskin is quoted all over the place and Jenny Raskin as well as another cabal of Marxists in the house who are Jewish are demanding that Israel unilaterally cease firing a guy by the name of Noam Chomsky In my view as a Marxist he helped form one of these Jewish groups that you see on the Capitol month or so ago and so forth and they're Jewish by birth but they're not Jewish in any other way. If a guy called Thomas Friedman at the New York Times I'm going to talk a little bit more about him here who writes these unhinged columns When he writes them about Israel they all have the same thread. It's repetitive. It's almost illiterate. Yet he gets these Pulitzer Prizes. That the state of Israel shouldn't exist as it exists now that if you like anybody but radicals to that government then the governments are legitimate and should be overthrown and on and on and on. The same Thomas Friedman who was going to go If you're a Marxist or if you embrace Marxism in one in certain form or another. You cannot And Marx writes about violent revolutions. know their revolutions. the status quo. Most Marxists are also anti -Semites. He might say but some of them are Jews. I mean, Mark, you just talked about Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders is one of the leading Israel haters in our country. Noam Chomsky on the destruction of Israel. Jamie Raskin's father Marcus was very close to the old Soviet Union and I would argue he was a communist.

"1973 Israel -Arab war. He paved the way for a major nuclear arms treaty with the Soviet Union. He worked to thaw out ice cold relations with Communist China. He was also involved in highly concealed bombing of Cambodia, leaving a mixed record during the Vietnam War. So what kind of legacy does Henry Kissinger leave behind? I think it was a legacy that highlighted the significance and importance of negotiation and diplomacy in American foreign policy, but a diplomacy backed by strength, by force. I think Kissinger believed that. He also believed strongly in the idea that the United States had to maintain a strong international role and that it needed to be actively involved in international affairs. Thomas Schwartz is a distinguished professor of history and political science at Vanderbilt University. He also wrote the book Henry Kissinger and American Power, a political biography.

How Do You Know If You're Living in a Police State?
"State mayor. Police state. How do you know? Well, I can tell you there's a pretty definitive sign in a constitutional republic or a representative democracy of some form. You do not investigate people. You investigate crimes in search of people, correct? People tend to overcomplicate what police a state is. We did a whole movie on it, but we kept it simple. You investigate crimes in a constitutional republic, and then you go and look for the people who did those crimes in a police state. You investigate people and you go and look for crimes. Oh, Miss Perkins attempted to revoke the security clearance of this employee and ordered her investigators to canvas 10 police departments where the employee lived for any allegations of violations of the law. Sounds like they're looking for person a in search of a crime, does it not? Folks, this has to stop. I'm gonna tell you, one of the more kind of devastating moments of my life in this space, and I mean it, I'm not being hyperbolic or overly dramatic dramatic about it is I was in an airport flying up to New York. I think I was doing the five fox or and friend, don't matter, but I'm in the airport and I get a call and a friend of mine says, you're never gonna believe this. He says, people in the Ukrainian embassy were watching your social media stuff, likely on government time, and monitoring your activity because you're exposing all this corruption going on in Ukraine that I was writing about in my last book. I said, no, they said, yeah, we're going to get a, we're going to for you this and you're going to see if they were right. Now folks, the stuff they were watching was public. I'm, you know, they, from what I least know, they at didn't have access to my private emails and things like that or the direct messages. But I got to tell you it was pretty scary stuff. I don't mean frightened, like a coward, like a little puppy. I was, it's frightening in an anxiety producing way that your government simply because you expose their corruption is busy watching what you're tweeting about and not doing their actual government assign work. You're like, where the hell am I living, the Soviet Union? Now in case you think it can't get any worse the police state ladies and gentlemen, it already has You sensing a pattern by the way according to this story about who the FBI was allegedly targeting.

Bailey Lipschutz covers the markets for Bloomberg News giving us up -to -date on this market here. We want to bring in Bloomberg TV's David Weston for a conversation on the life and legacy of Henry Kissinger. But first I part want to bring of you David's discussion with Bloomberg opinion columnist Neil Ferguson who wrote a book on the life of Henry Kissinger and spent extensive time with him. Here's part of their discussion on the role of Kissinger played in the Yom Kippur War. For Kissinger the moral imperative in the Cold War was to avoid World War III and that was one of the reasons that he pursued a policy of detente of understanding of improving relations with the Soviet Union because I think reasonably he thought the worst possible outcome for the world would be a horse war between two nuclear -armed superpowers and so in practice when he entered the realm of power as Richard Nixon's national security adviser I think he remained an idealist but an idealist who was having to deal with some extremely difficult choices between as I've said greater and lesser evils so I don't think the idealism was ever entirely eradicated certainly working with Richard Nixon you were working with somebody who saw himself as a very tough realist who wasn't afraid to do very difficult and even nasty things so I think there was an element of compromise just in accepting a job with with Nixon but once Nixon has gone it's very interesting to see Kissinger under Ford shift in much a more idealistic direction and a lot of Kissinger's later career about which one hears much much less owed a lot more to his earlier roots in German idealism that was Bloomberg television's David Weston speaking with Bloomberg opinion columnist Neil Ferguson I want to bring in David Weston right now David thanks so much for joining us here in our Bloomberg studio here what a life it's been your life my life that has been US diplomacy whether it's official or non -official it's been Henry Kissinger yeah he's been the only diplomat I'd overheard of frankly I mean he first when he appointed I was in high school I'm old enough to remember that when Richard Nixon appointed him but and as Ray Dalio actually just posted something saying this you can't think of anybody who studied history as deeply as Henry Kissinger did as academic an at Harvard he would have had a distinguished career in that and then lived the diplomacy and was responsible for it and then got to know pretty much every world leader who didn't just know them they hung on his every word and that's China that Soviet Union that's Anwar Sadat and Egypt around the world I mean it's quite extreme if you read his book on leadership he goes through the six leaders that he had respect for him he starts with Charles de Gaulle okay who we knew personally and he goes on to Conrad Adenauer whom he knew personally and Maggie Thatcher thinks it's really an extraordinary life Wow and David you knew him personally as well so maybe if you could tell us a little bit about some of your memories with Henry Kissinger and what you'll you know think of him most yeah I would say I'm not sure Henry would say this you if were here but he sort of adopted me when I came to New York in the mid 90s I think he took pity on me and took me under his wing and used to invite me to breakfast that he had with like 20 people or so at a club where he'd have visiting dignitaries in people he'd known through the years where we'd have an off -the -record discussion about what was going on in Asia in Europe in the Middle East and anyway and it was wonderful it was one of experience and so he really and I had lunches with him where he would he he was a teacher forever and he wanted to teach you and he had an amazing mind you could agree with him you could disagree with him but he had thought it all through many times and he could explain to you how everything was connected to everything else it was utterly fascinating last thing he was a huge dog person really he and Nancy loved dogs I mean can't believe they always were with a dog constantly he and he was a charming actually very warm man in many ways it's amazing what did he think of what's happened not just the United States over the last five six seven years in terms of nationalism America first in the US but Brexit in the UK and the elections it seems like nationalism which I think you and I kind of grew up with post World War two is not necessarily the leading role or the leading thought here in international relations these days these are my words not his but I think he would say it's dangerous we have to remember he came out of Nazi Germany fleeing seeing it in 1938 with his family as a Jew and he studied in his work he started with post -Napoleonic wars putting together Europe and talking about the balance of power with people like Metternich that he that he really valued as a way to avoid war he wanted to avoid conflict at all costs and I think would he say if we were here today there are real dangers in everybody going to their respective corners and fighting one another people get hurt that way in fact he talked about this just last month was the last time I saw him he appeared live at the Al Smith dinner here in New York and he gave a speech on this very subject warning people about the dangers that we have in front of us if we keep going this way well one of the bigger parts of his legacy was of course you're brokering the peace Middle East and it certainly hearkens now
The Eric Metaxas Show

"Welcome to the Eric Metaxas show. Did you know that the mouth of the Statue of Liberty stretches a full three feet wide? And if that mouth could speak, it would say, I listen to the Eric Metaxas show each and every day. Well, it would. I dare you to prove me wrong. Now listen up. Here comes Eric Metaxas. Folks, welcome to the program. I find myself still in Dallas. I can't explain it. And yet here I am in Dallas. John Zmirak is my guest. John, where might you be, sir? I am six or seven hundred feet away from you in Dallas. No, actually, we're different parts of the city, but we're both in Dallas. But you're but you're in Dallas and I'm in Dallas. And yet here we are. Actually, all the people who want a safety and environment will leave the blue states and come to the red states. they And hopefully won't they won't turn them into blue into blue states by the way they vote. And that's the way I didn't. But well, now that we know where we are, let's talk about what you've been writing about and thinking about. You have written a number of terrific pieces as usual. Where shall we start, John Zmirak? Well, I've got a piece at Stream .org called How Long Before the Left Wants to Euthanize Trans People? How long before the left turns from supporting people with gender dysphoria who claim that they need, who are convinced and told that they need sex change, surgery and hormones? At what point are the left going to realize, wait a minute, these people are really expensive? I have a funny, stupid question. And you have to let me let me finish making no, no, no, but this is important. Are you sure we haven't discussed that on this program before? Because I feel like maybe we have discussed this article on this program. I think we did. I don't think we did. I mean, look, no, we did not. Let's why don't you speak about it? And I don't think we did or we ran out of time. I think I mentioned there's no harm in talking about it twice. We spoke about it in the past because it's actually very it's an extraordinary observation. So please go ahead. OK. The left already favors aborting children with Down syndrome. The left already favors euthanasia for the hand for people with terminal illnesses, long term chronic illnesses. In Canada, the left has has enacted euthanasia for the mentally ill in Belgium and in the Netherlands. Depressed people are subject to euthanasia as their treatment plant. It saves money for your socialist medical system. And if you don't have a biblical worldview that says thou shalt not kill, that forbids you from killing the innocent, you will fall into euthanasia. Something like 10 percent of the deaths in the Netherlands now are by euthanasia. You've got to be kidding. You've got to be kidding. Ten percent. I saw I saw a figure like that. This is this in one of the countries that was most heroic in resisting the Nazis, how quickly they threw the Christian worldview out the window and how horrible things become when that goes away. In my piece of the stream, I talk about how Pope Francis has set up this jerry -rigged, hand -picked Soviet -style process he calls the synod, where his his allies and certain bishops, but not other bishops, get together. And they have these long struggle sessions where any really faithful Christians who are there, faithful Catholics who are there, basically get shouted down or talked down or worn down. And the pope is it's clearly planning to change fundamental biblical timeless teachings in our Catholic Church using this process, including blessings for same sex couples.

I have delved into the question of how good a weekend or a good any day one could have when the world is so filled with evil and one has to try despair as a sin, as I have noted on a number of occasions based on my Bible commentary. Hi, everybody. Good to be with you. This is late breaking. I normally don't have the show driven by news as it breaks, but this is an important—many of them are important, but this is, I believe, worthy of immediate attention. This is from Newsweek. Conservative social media personality Steven Crowder teased the release of a manifesto allegedly written by an accused school shooter in Nashville, Tennessee, where six victims died earlier this year. Boy, I'll tell you, Newsweek is really—this sentence is so gingerly phrased. Let's see. The manifesto is allegedly written by an accused shooter, not the shooter. Six million victims died, not were murdered. In a video posted Monday, that's today, to YouTube, Crowder said the manifesto was leaked and shared screenshots of portions of the document which was believed to be written by Audrey Hale, 28, whom authorities identified as the shooter. They also said Hale, who died at the scene, once attended the school. By the way, that is interesting that they say allegedly. You say allegedly when somebody is about to stand trial, but if the person was shot at the scene, you don't say allegedly. What was Audrey Hale doing there? Checking out school curricula? No, it's a little too ginger. Anyway, I will be reading the manifesto here on this show. I wish that I wouldn't have to, Crowder said in the video. In a post to X, formerly Twitter, Crowder shared other images of the manifesto, including one part that said, I hope I have a high death count. Newsweek has been unable to independently verify that Metro Nashville Police Department spokesperson told Newsweek that the police are unable to confirm the manifesto, but said they are actively looking into the matter. Here's a question for Nashville police. Why didn't you release it immediately? Some authorities had it, and my suspicion is because the manifesto reveals, as was suspected, a left -winger and it was a trans person. So the left sort of has the view, padona misa gosh, there are no enemies on the left. And whereas if the manifesto were some racist, anti -black screed, we would have known about it immediately. So three children and three adults at Nashville's Covenant School were murdered. She later died from gunshot wounds. Shortly after the shooting occurred, this is again from this Newsweek article, police said that they had recovered a manifesto believed to have been written by hell. So why, why was it never released? The ongoing investigation into the March 27 murders of six persons inside the Covenant School continues to show, from all information currently available, that killer Audrey Hale acted totally alone. That's not the question. Well, I'll report to you. There is a report somewhere, but since I haven't seen it, I can't, I won't report it yet, about what it revealed. And it seems to me that if the report is correct, it was a big anti -white kid screed. All right. So we live in an age of moral confusion, as I have warned all of my life. And the charge against Israel that it commits genocide against the Palestinians which a charge that has been made for decades, this is not new to the current war against Hamas, is another gigantic lie of the left. But the truth is not a left -wing value. So I have data here from Statista, which has no political bias that I know of. You agree with me? I don't know. Okay, fine. Statista Infographic Newsletter. Statista puts out statistics. So this is from 2020. Growth of Palestine. Let's see now. The need for peace continues to grow in urgency as Palestine's population is growing at a larger rate than Israel. Jewish and Arab populations are on a collision course of parity in the coming decades, with Arab Israelis also growing faster than Jewish Israelis and gaining more voting power. Then there's a chart, Growth of Palestine. It begins in 1960, and the green is Palestine, the blue is Israel. They have gone from 1 .1 million to 5 .1 million in 2020. So there is a growth of essentially five times growth quintupled since 1960. The Jewish population has quadrupled, has gone up four times the Arab population of the area five times. Have you ever heard of a genocide where the people being genocided have a population growth of 5x? The lie is so grandiose, but you have to know something. The people screaming it believe it, especially those who are Palestinian or from other Arab or Muslim countries. They believe their lies. Read David Price Jones' book, The Closed Circle. You'll see that he's an Arab expert. He lived an exaggeration and lies as being very frequently in the public sphere conflated. Anyway, we're catching up. The truth is that a left wing value in the left wing dominates academia and the media. So much for the charge of genocide. The only attempt at genocide of the Palestinians and their Muslim supporters around the world, they wish to commit genocide against the Jews of Israel, perhaps all Jews in the world, but certainly Jews of Israel. That is the only genocide that can be alleged in the Middle East. Well, there was one, but I don't know. Yeah, I guess you'd call it the Middle East, of course. Do you remember the Yazidis, how they were wiped out by ISIS? Well, virtually, yeah. There was a real, let's put, an ethnic cleansing, let's put it that way. Genocide. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free is a call for genocide. It is a call for the eradication of the Jewish state. There are 22 Arab states, from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, but there's no room for a Jewish state the size of New Jersey. People just always need to remember that. Should there be a 24th Arab state, one that never existed in the history of the world? I hear some Palestinian speakers actually saying, we are the descendants of the Canaanites. Did you know that? You can meet a living Canaanite. Can you meet a parasite and a Jebusite? He said he was a Jebusite? Is Arafat said he was a Jebusite? I didn't know the man had a sense of humor. And this is what your kids are learning at college. We return. Gold dealers are a dime a dozen. They're everywhere. What sets these companies apart and whom can you really trust? This is Dennis Prager for AmFed Coin and Bullion, my choice for buying precious metals. When you buy precious metals, it's imperative that you buy from a trustworthy and transparent dealer that protects your best interests. So many companies use gimmicks to take advantage of inexperienced gold and silver buyers. Be cautious of brokers offering free gold and silver or brokers that want to sell you overpriced collectible coins, claiming they appreciate more than gold and silver. What about hidden commissions and huge markups? Nick Grovitch and his team at AmFed always have your back. I trust this man. That's why I mentioned him by name. Nick's been in this industry over 42 years, and he's proud of providing transparency and fair pricing to build trusted relationships.

And the New York Times reports he urged his former aides to, quote, take in the whole truth, seemingly attempting to strike a balance between the killings on both sides. Would he have done that in World War II? Strike a balance between the killings? Look at how many German civilians we killed. Look at how many Japanese civilians we killed. Would he have said that? I don't know, but to me it would be the same thing. The moral difference between the allies and the Nazis and the allies and the Japanese was no greater than the moral difference between Israel and Hamas. We live in the age of moral relativism. It's infected almost the entire intellectual class. I saw it when I was at graduate school at Columbia University, and professors generally equated the U .S. and the Soviet Union. It was not a battle, the Cold War in their view, between freedom and tyranny, or between, if you will, light and dark, with all the darkness that exists, obviously, in everyone and in every country. There was an unbridgeable gulf between light and dark between the United States and the Soviet Union, but they would not agree to that. It was a superpower battle or a battle of two economic systems, communism and capitalism, as if they are morally equivalent, let alone just equally effective. Well, there are people who build their society with communism and slaughter tens of millions of their people while doing it, and there's another free society which is infinitely wealthier. I remember that when I wanted to get soda from a soda machine when I was there during the Cold War, and I as know that I speak Russian, and so the machine would say, госированая вода, gas gaseous water, meaning like sparkling water. The machines were quite common in Moscow, I don't know about the rest of the Soviet Union, and there was a plastic cup like you would have in a house there, and everyone who got the sparkling water used that cup. Isn't that fascinating? One cup. I drank from it, you know me, I mean, you know, they reported internationally that I, for fork drops in a restaurant, I will actually use it. I am not, shall we say, a hypochondriac, struck but it me as an example, they didn't have the money to have a paper cup used every time and thrown away. Incidentally, I'll tell you what else moved me. I will acknowledge this, because truth is the number one obligation. Nobody stole the cup. I found that fascinating. Here's this former aide to take in the whole truth, unquote. This is Barack Obama this weekend, seemingly attempting to strike a balance between the killings on both sides. What Hamas did was horrific and there's no justification for it, Mr. Obama said, and what is also true is that the occupation and what's happening to Palestinians is unbearable. Really, what is happening to Palestinians that is unbearable? I'm not talking about the current war in Gaza, which they brought upon themselves just like the Germans did and the Japanese did. Unbearable? Really? Has he or anybody he talked to gone to visit the West Bank? Is life on the West Bank unbearable? Didn't strike me as that way, been there a number of times. All I remember was a lot of cranes building new buildings. And they're obviously having a lot of kids. Generally, having a lot of kids in an unbearable situation tend not to go hand in hand. What is true is that there are people right now who are dying, who have nothing to do with what Hamas did. There were Germans who died who had nothing to do with what Hitler did. That's correct and you blame Hitler for their deaths. You blame Hamas for the death of Palestinians in Gaza. All their money is used to buy rockets and dig tunnels everywhere, including right under hospitals. If there is such a thing as evil, Hamas is it. But after all, if you raise a generation to believe that America is evil, then evil loses its meaning, doesn't it? That is what has happened. Okay. There are no comments. It's interesting they don't have comments on me on this particular story. Dennis Ross is a major figure in Middle Eastern diplomacy. For 35 years, this former U .S. envoy to the Middle East, who has generally been critical of Israel, not anti -Israel, but critical of Israel. For 35 years, I've devoted my professional life to U .S. peacemaking policy and conflict resolution planning. Nothing has preoccupied me like finding a peaceful and lasting solution between Israel and the Palestinians. In the past, I might have favored a ceasefire with Hamas during a conflict with Israel, but today it is clear to me that peace is not going to be possible now or in the future as long as Hamas remains intact and in control of Gaza.

If you'd like to support HGDS or enjoy bonus content, please consider giving at patreon .com forward slash history that doesn't suck. It's a cool autumn morning, November 3rd, 1918. We're aboard one of the Imperial German Navy's pre -dreadnought battleships. The SMS Lothringen, currently lying at anchor in the harbor of Kiel, Germany. And Seaman First Class Richard Stumpf is heading to his quarters to put on his parade uniform. Once dressed appropriately, he intends to go ashore and into town to join his fellow frustrated sailors. They will parade. They will march. They will demand better. And Richard is here for it. Okay, time out. Let me fill you in on the situation. For years now, the German Navy has underfed and overworked its average sailors. Meanwhile, these somewhat abused seamen have little to show for their suffering. Indeed, apart from submarine warfare and the 1916 Battle of Jutland, German warships have largely spent this war hemmed in by Britain's effective blockade. With a coming armistice then, one that may well effectively end the German Navy, the Imperial Naval High Command believes that the answer is to sail forth and meet the Brits in battle. Better to meet a glorious death and a watery grave than to be ended by an armistice. Ah, but their hungry mistreated sailors see it differently. Why on earth would they want to go on a suicide mission merely to save the pride of their egotistical admirals? Thus, upon receiving orders a few days ago to engage the Brits in an epic but deadly throwdown at sea, Stokers aboard a few ships responded by intentionally allowing the Boilers fires to go out. Full on mutiny sees the dreadnought class SMS Hegoland and SMS Thuringen. The crew of the latter even locked up their petty officers. The Navy answered by locking up hundreds of these mutinous sailors and keel. And that's why today, Richard and hundreds of other sailors are taken to the streets to protest the incarceration of their naval brothers. And with that background, let's return to the story. Down in his quarters, Richard and other sailors are nearly done dressing. But as they buckle belts and button coats, a few officers enter asking what they can do to appease the men. Sympathetically, Richard answers, we have nothing against our officers. Nevertheless, we shall parade in the streets to obtain our rights. Nearly the whole crew agrees. The SMS Lothringen all but empties as sailors make for shore. Reaching Keel's Old Port Barracks later that afternoon, Richard is astounded. Everywhere he turns, he sees endless droves of sailors and on one side, a long line of rifle bearing Marines who've joined them. Damn, this parade has gained traction. Departing from the parade ground, the sailors and Marines make their way to the flagship now at port, the SMS Baden. After a brief shouting match between the crowd and the captain, a full third of this dreadnought battleship's crew join its ranks. Continuing on, an impromptu marching band gives some semblance of order while another 40 men fall in as they reach Pieterstraße, that is, Peter Street. But soon, our narrator, Seaman First Class Richard Stumpf, realizes that they do indeed only have a semblance of order. That they're turning into a leaderless mob, and he worries that things might get out of hand. It's now 6 p .m. The boisterous throng of servicemen are in front of the city's Marine barracks. Within a moment's time, they rip the gate off its hinges. The flustered, angry sailors then pour through the opening. One elderly major dares to oppose them. Several men surround him, take his gun and ride his epaulettes. Richard looks on, aghast. He feels sympathy for the elderly officer only trying to do his duty. This isn't what Richard had in mind when he came to heel to march for his rights. Freeing a few men being detained at the barracks, the mob of sailors continues on. Politically on the right, Richard grows uneasy as one speech giver calls out that they should hang the Kaiser. His discomfort grows as red cloths and a red bed sheet make for impromptu flags. He's appalled at a dock worker who takes the quickly raised speaker stand near station headquarters to call for the establishment of a Soviet republic. But despite his fellow sailors communist sympathies, or should I say Bolshevism, as these communist minded Germans are inspired by the recent Bolshevik revolution in Russia, Richard is pleased to see how relatively nonviolent things have stayed. Well, if only he knew what was going on elsewhere in Kiel. It's now just past 7 p .m. Among the thousands marching through the streets tonight, a different group far from Richards is approaching the military prison where the stokers who let their ship's boilers go cold are being detained. And these marchers are determined to see these men freed. They howl, shout and yell. Their angry cries are greeted by soldiers loyal to the Kaiser. Troops quickly choke off the street. The commander orders the advancing sailors to stop, but they ignore him. The officer then orders his men to fire above the sailors heads. The throng is undeterred by these warning shots. The endless mass of men continues to advance toward them. The commander orders another volley, but this one is no warning. Bullets tear through flesh. Some sailors fall dead, others screaming agony, while still more return fire or throw stones. This is no longer a mere parade through Kiel. This is the start of the German revolution. Welcome to History That Doesn't Suck. I'm your professor, Greg Jackson, and I'd like to tell you a story. That violent confrontation on the streets of Kiel left eight sailors dead and 29 more wounded. But the Kaiser soldiers weren't without their losses either. Their commander and one lieutenant died, both taken out by knives and stones. Clearly, Germany isn't only struggling on the front, it's struggling at home. It can no longer sustain this war. And that brings us to today's story. The armistice that, after four long, blood -soaked years, will finally silence the guns of World War I. To properly contextualize this hallowed moment, we'll start at the same place Germany does as it seeks peace, by looking to US President Woodrow Wilson's proposed path to peace, his 14 points. I'll remind you what these are before we listen to Woodrow pitch them in a September 1918 speech. We'll then follow his back and forth with the Germans and follow other discussions among allied leaders, all of which will ultimately lead us to a cold and fraught moment of diplomacy between four Germans and four allied leaders, and Marshal Ferdinand Foch's train carriage, somewhere secret, in France's Compiègne forest. With no leverage and a revolution consuming their nation, the German delegates are in a tough spot. But ultimately, we'll see an armistice struck. We'll then end this war, this brutal, awful war, as we watch it continue to take lives right up to the moment that the armistice takes effect at 11 o 'clock on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. But having done all of that and taken stock of all the loss, we'll see the joy and relief that washes over all the soldiers, allied and German alike, as their nightmare ends. Well, ready to experience one of the most intense moments in the history of diplomacy? Then let's get to it, and we start with our professorial president, waxing eloquent with his 14 points. Rewind. Woodrow Wilson is no fan of war. On the contrary, the former New Jersey governor and Princeton professor and president turned US president is a proponent of peace. We've seen that in several past episodes. In 132, we heard that effective, if boring, campaign slogan, he kept us out of war, and witnessed how pained the professorial president was to ask Congress to declare war. In 133, we caught the full contrast between him and his hawkish predecessor, former President Theodore Roosevelt. And in 136, we got a taste of Woodrow's 14 points, which, if adhered to, he hopes will ensure a lasting peace after the Great War. But do we remember just what these 14 points are? Well, here's a quick refresher. Woodrow first presented his 14 points while speaking to Congress at the start of this year, on January 8th, 1918. The professorial president called them, quote, the program of the world's peace, the only possible program, close quote. His right -hand man, Edward House, better known by the honorary title, Colonel House, described the 14 points as, quote, a declaration of human liberty and a declaration of the terms which should be written into the peace conference, close quote. The first five points are rules that Woodrow wants all nations to follow. No secret treaties, freedom to navigate the seas, free trade among all nations, signing the coming peace, arms reductions, and finally, an adjustment of all colonial claims that takes the will of colonized peoples and questions of their own sovereignty into mind. Points six through 13 call for specific changes to the map of Europe and the Ottoman Empire, none of which are surprising if you recall the territorial throw downs that helped cause the war. They include the central powers evacuating Russia, Germany evacuating a restored Belgium, Germany returning Alsace -Lorraine to France, an adjustment of Italian borders along nationalist lines, self -determination in the Austro -Hungarian Empire, new borders drawn in the Balkans, a Turkish state with free trade in the Dardanelles, and finally, an independent Poland. As for his last 14th point, Woodrow wants to see an end not just to this war but to all wars. He wants an organization, say a league of nations if you will, to ensure that everyone, big countries and small, are treated fairly. Huh, that's very New Jersey plan of you, Professor Wilson. Constitutional convention jokes aside, Woodrow Wilson believes his 14 points are the way to a lasting permanent peace. In fact, he's so sure of it that as the beleaguered central power of Austria -Hungary tries to initiate peace talks on September 14, 1918, Woodrow quickly rejects them. In the president's mind, there's nothing to discuss. He's already made the terms clear. Austria -Hungary can get back in touch when they want to agree to his 14 points. But is it wise to take such a hard stance on these points, especially when his points are well -meaning but vague? After all, who decides what a quote -unquote impartial adjustment of colonial claims looks like? Who defines self -determination and other such terms? Those questions aren't important to Woodrow. As America enters the Meuse -Argonne campaign, its largest battle to date, one that will send tens of thousands of young doughboys to their graves, Woodrow wants their blood sacrifice to mean something. This war must be, to borrow a phrase recently coined by English author H .G. Wells, the war to end all wars. Thus, the idealistic president is ready to pitch his 14 points to everyone, including the American people.

The Dan Bongino Show
Caller: We're Doing Today What We Did in the 1970s'; It's Horrific
"The show. Hey, good afternoon, Kara. You know, my turn is this we are we're doing today what we did in the 1970s. So the 1970s, we tried to appease the Soviet Union. We tried to negotiate an arms agreement. We've lent them 80 billion dollars. We've raised the cost of oil today. We've given money to to Iran. We've raised the cost so the Soviet, so Russia is benefiting from more revenue. We tried to appease them. Our president reminds me of the character from Dr. Strangelove, Peter Sellers, the president, a mild and meager and timid man. Can I tell something? you We are spending right now the same amount of money in real terms on defense while China and other countries are there in a boom, militarily. And it concerns me that we're not getting prepared. When Trump was in office, he forced NATO to spend more. They backed away from that. You know, interesting that Harold Brown was defense secretary in the 1970s. He said something I always remember. I was in my 20s. And he said, these would be the Soviet Union arms agreement. He said, we build, build. We stopped building. They built. That's what's going on. Our enemies are not stopping. Our enemies are moving forward with their, they're bent on destruction and we're timidly sitting back letting it happen. Neville Chamberlain, World War II. Remember that, guys? We're there. Yeah. Thank you so much for that call, Alan. What a great commentary. That was, that was fantastic. You hit the nail head. on the Absolutely. I actually share your concern about what's happening. And you're absolutely right. Our enemies are building while we're voluntarily tearing down. Is China using green energy? No. What the hell can you use green energy for? You can heat and cool your house with it. Great. I live in California. I live an in area that is dedicated to solar farms. If you've never had the opportunity to see

All right, today we're talking with Army veteran Robert Poole from Total Business Results. Robert got some great things to talk about, teaching entrepreneurs to get out of running that day -to -day in their business and be able to break free and think more strategically. Before we get to doing all that, take us back and tell us what you did in the Army. Yeah, well, first of all, thanks for having me on the show, Joe. Appreciate it very much. Yeah, I went to West Point and got out and went to OBC in Virginia. And I think I was there for about six months. And then I was stationed at Fort Polk. I was in the quartermaster branch. That was my specialty. I didn't, that wasn't my first choice at West Point. But that's what happens when you get in trouble when you're near the bottom of the class. I wasn't one of the smartest guys there, but I made it through. So my first choice was actually ADA, but that was taken. So, so but it actually was a great experience. So I was with the 46th Engineer Battalion, combat heavy, and which, for guys who don't know, that's basically the heavy construction stuff that engineers do, not the, you know, planting explosives and that sort of thing. So it's more of building roads and building buildings, that sort of thing. So heavy construction stuff. So I got to learn a lot about that sort of construction industry, how things are built, because I had no background in that. My degree was in economics. So it was far from engineering, but you learn a lot on the job. And I was there for a couple years. I was the S -4, Assistant S -4 for a while, then the S -4 for the battalion. And then we did a deployment to Haiti. I was actually in the left behind crew. And so, but I managed the whole unit movement thing, which is, again, a fantastic experience for me. You know, you get kind of thrown into that stuff as a, you know, young officer, and you kind of have to learn as you go. But it was handling that kind of responsibility and coordinating all that stuff was a great experience, which later helped me in business, I think, quite a bit. And then I got out, I was only in for two years, because the, this was right around, I got around 96, I got out and it was because I looked at, you know, the military life and everything, I thought, you know, I'm not sure if I want to have, you know, a family and all that kind of stuff. But, you know, in the military, it's very hard on families, as everybody knows. And, but also at that time, you know, we'd just gone through Desert Storm One, you know, Soviet Union and collapse, because I originally as a kid, you know, I was always getting into the army, because I wanted to fight the big bad Soviets. And then suddenly, the, the, the enemy went away. And, you know, it's in the 90s, I think the army and armed forces in general kind of struggling with their place. You know, we had peacekeeping messages and things which I wasn't a real fan of. So the bottom line is they had sort of a rift with officers right after, you know, the first Gulf War, President Clinton made a big thing about cutting down the military. So they asked for, you know, officers to volunteer to get out early, because typically have a five or six year commitment from going to one of the academies. And, and so I raised my hand and said, that's me, and got out and started getting into business and all that. So with those, that's kind of my my transition, or at least my military story, if you will. Yeah, so your transition probably came a lot sooner and quicker than you were expecting. So you may or may not have been really prepared for it. You're mentally ready to get out. But what what sort of things did you get into when you first got out of the army? Yeah, you know, that's right. And, you know, transition is, you know, it's difficult with civilian life, I heard on a podcast, and I can't remember if it was yours, Joe, but, you know, gentlemen talking about the kind of strange reception you get when you make that transition, because, you know, the military, we're our own world. And, you know, when you come into the civilian world, people don't necessarily understand that. So, you know, you show them your resume of all the things you've done, you know, you know, that all the coordination I did in that unit movement, you know, millions of millions of dollars of equipment and responsibility and blah, blah, blah. And it doesn't translate necessarily real well to the civilian workforce. And so when I got out, I knew that I wanted to be in business. And I figured one of the best ways to do it was to get into sales. So I did sales in commercial real estate, I did a short stint doing residential real estate, I did corporate recruiting, I did for a couple years, financial investments, like Merrill Lynch, like a stockbroker. So I kind of bounced around, to answer your question. And I think it was because I, I had a difficult time trying to figure out how to explain the skill set and make that transfer skill set, even though I think, you know, in retrospect, all the lessons that I learned in the army, and at West Point, you know, are just invaluable in business. So it's really about kind of making it through that initial kind of difficulty in trying to translate that skill set. But deep down, that skill set really does transfer. It's just hard to explain that to the, you know, civilian employers and things like that. So that's kind of what my transition was like. Yeah, you see that, we see that a lot. I think oftentimes it's the civilian employer that you could, most people could, most military folks could say, I went to West Point, I was in Quartermaster Corps, did the Haiti thing, and they get a real quick assessment of probably what you've done, what you're capable of. But in the civilian world, they don't really understand what all that means. And when you civilianize your resume, I think a lot of it gets lost in the translation. Unfortunately, I always, you know, try to get you to civilianize your resume, but I think a lot of the impact gets lost. And really, it's, if you're trying to go to work for some company that doesn't really understand anything about the military, it might not be the right company to be going to work for. If they don't really understand the true value that you bring to the table. So ultimately, you started getting into many other things down the road, entrepreneurial -wise. Where did the entrepreneurial bug come from? I I've think always been a fairly independent person, you know, and it's, I think most of us get into entrepreneurship because of one reason we think, well, you know, basically, it's the classic, you know, I want to be my own boss. And, you know, the reality is news to anybody who are just getting into entrepreneurship. That usually doesn't happen the first few years that you end up buying yourself a job where instead of working 40 hours or somebody else, you're working 60 and, you know, the stress and all that comes with it, you get tied to your business, which is something that I, you know, talk about frequently. We can talk about later, but, so, it's a different experience. And, so I, but how I got into it, I was actually working in financial services at the time. This was, I think, 98, 99, somewhere in there. And, I, actually it was around 2000, I think, when I started making this transition, but I had a friend of mine who owned a construction company and he said, geez, I really need a website. And this is back when websites were new, you know, and all that. And a lot of companies didn't even have them. And I said, well, you know, that I've always been interested in tech stuff. So, I bought a book. I said, let me build your website for you. So, I learned how to build a website. And then another friend of his said, in construction said, hey, can you do that for me? And so, I started doing this work and realized, wow, there's a lot of companies that don't have websites. And so, my partner or my friend that owned the construction company said, hey, we should start a company doing website design, which seemed like a good idea. So, this was, of course, literally, I think, July of 2001, when we started, which was not the best time to start a business, two months later with 9 -11, economy shut down, you know. So, it was a baptism by fire in business. But we started doing that for about a year. And at the time, of course, I didn't have any money. My business partner wasn't really financial set. We had very little money to start. So, it was bootstrapping. But so, we hired, we didn't have money for advertising. So, we basically started doing cold calling, which I was very familiar with it. I did it in all my sales jobs before then. I was pretty good at it. But I got to the point where I couldn't do it. I couldn't do enough cold calling and show up to the meetings and do the sales and all that. So, we hired some callers here locally that worked from home that did, started doing the cold calls for me. And eventually, we had a client of ours say, wow, this is, that we built a website for, say, wow, your gal that contacted me was great, you know, I can really use, you know, some cold callers for me. And we said, oh, okay, well, I guess you can, you know, we'll kind of contract out our person, she's got some extra time. And, and then we had another client say the same thing. And we realized that there was more demand for our cold callers than it was for our website business. And so, we, we literally kind of folded that company and started a new company based upon that. And, you know, 20 something years later, you know, we've, are a multi million dollar company that has been built primarily on co calling and business to business, you know. And so, that's, that's a long story. But that's, it's something that you kind of fall into. So, I didn't, you know, a lot of people get out, you know, and they go, okay, well, I'm really interested in this industry. So, I'm going to go do this. And it's very intentional. For me, I kind of stumbled into it. It was after doing enough other things, you know, in sales jobs, like I mentioned, that I kind of stumbled into this. And it turned out, I was really good at it. And we've been through all the struggles that business owners go through. But it's been a, it's been a great ride. And, you know, it's really worked out well for me. But it was not something that I expected to do and didn't intentionally get into if that answers your question. Oh, yeah.

I did not watch it live because I was at the wedding of my Navy son, and it's a mixed marriage. He's in the Navy, and my new daughter -in -law is a daughter of an army colonel. So we'll make it work. We'll make it work. It's also Presbyterians and Catholics, but I translated for the Presbyterians everything that was going on at Fort Meyer Chapel. And their festivities have begun for the weekend, and it's a bit somber because of all that is going on. Many of the people involved are on alert, etc., all that different stuff. And Genghis Cade arrived, and since there's a sorry arch, everyone's on high alert with her. Nevertheless, the president's speech, widely regarded as being the best effort he's made thus far, but it's just not that good. Let's play the key portion. It's where he attempts to sell, it's important from my view that he successfully do so, and I don't think he did so, the support for Ukraine. Cut number 18. Because of them. Meanwhile, Putin denies Ukraine has or ever had real statehood. He claims the Soviet Union created Ukraine. And just two weeks ago, he told the world that if the United States and our allies withdraw, and if the United States withdraw, our allies will as well. Military support for Ukraine would have, quote, a week left to live, but we're not withdrawing. I know these conflicts can seem far away. It's natural to ask, why does this matter to America? So let me share with you why making sure Israel and Ukraine succeed is vital for America's national security. You know, history has taught us that when terrorists don't pay a price for their terror, when dictators don't pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction. They keep going, and the cost and the threats to America and the world keep rising. So if we don't stop Putin's appetite for power and control in Ukraine, he won't limit himself just to Ukraine. Putin's already threatened to remind, quote, remind Poland that their Western land was a gift from Russia. One of his top advisors, a former president of Russia, has called Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania Russia's Baltic provinces. These are all NATO allies. For 75 years, NATO has kept peace in Europe and has been the cornerstone of American security. And if Putin attacks a NATO ally, we will defend every inch of NATO which a treaty requires and calls for. We'll have something that we do not seek. Make it clear, we do not seek. We do not seek to have American troops fighting in Russia or fighting against Russia. Beyond Europe, we know that our allies and maybe most importantly our adversaries and competitors are watching. They're watching our response in Ukraine as well. And if we walk away and let Putin erase Ukraine's independence, would -be aggressors around the world be emboldened to try the same? The risk of conflict and chaos could spread in other parts of the world, in the Indo -Pacific, in the Middle East, especially in the Middle East. Iran is supporting Russia in Ukraine and is supporting Hamas. You know, Americans support Israel overwhelmingly. The hard sell here is more aid to Ukraine. And the president did not make the obvious argument. There's a triangle of tyrants. General Secretary Xi in Beijing, Putin in Moscow, and Ayatollah Khomeini, whose puppets in Hamas and Hezbollah in the south and the north of Israel are all working together. They're all working together. It's all one conflict. I'll talk with General David Petraeus coming up this hour and next, and I'll talk with Ambassador Robert O 'Brien, President Trump's former National Security Advisor and Special Envoy on Hostage Affairs in the show today. But Mike Pompeo last night, former Secretary of State, posted this. Joe Biden has presided over the start of two major wars. He doesn't. Americans held hostage by Iran, by Iran on October 7. None of this was inevitable. It followed from weakness. It followed from funding Iran, and it followed from the Biden debacle in Afghanistan. President Biden is clearly not up to the task of protecting America from the barbarians at our gates. I think the secretary was driving on the key point. It's all, all, all the triangle of tyrants. And Iran is the one that killed 30 Americans and has 20 hostages. Hamas is Iran, is Hezbollah. They are allied with China. They are allied with Russia. And until and unless Americans get that concept, a strategic concept, we are not going to be able to persuade at least a third of the country that we are at a real risk here. And already, last night, American Navy ships intercepted missiles from Yemen, where another Iranian proxy, the Houthis, fired those missiles at Israel. A U .S. Navy ship intercepted them. Our Iraqi base and embassy was fired on last night. The bases in Syria have been fired on. We are already in this conflict. And the president can't explain that because he's infirm. And it is that simple.

You wonder, you should wonder if you don't wonder actually, at what point do universities lose their credibility? At what point does the media lose its credibility? There has to be a breaking point for most people. This should offer one example. The headlines in the Los Angeles Times and New York Times. I have the physical papers in front of me. We subscribe here. It's painful, but we do. So, the New York Times is, US backs Israel as cause of blast remains disputed. The evidence is rather overwhelming that Israel did not send a missile at a hospital. The evidence is overwhelming that it was in fact an Islamic terrorist organization whose rocket did not detonate properly. Los Angeles Times, this is the front page, both cases, dueling narratives fan conflict, finger pointing, ire as in anger, after Gaza hospital blast highlight risk of wider, wider war. Well, here's a dueling narrative that the New York Times reported in the 1930s. Dueling narrative. The Soviet Union is starving millions of Ukrainians to death deliberately. Ukrainians say they are and Stalin says they're not. Right? Is that a dueling narrative in the 1930s, 1932, or 1933? By the way, you've got to think in the many single years that were particularly awful in the 20th century, that was one of them. Hitler and the Nazis elected in Germany, or at least gained power, and the Ukrainian famine, Holodomor as they call it, their version of the Holocaust. If you read Red Famine, you understand what the Soviets did. You understand that starving to death is a form of torture. Starvation is torture. Waterboarding is terror. Starvation is torture. Dueling narratives. So, you have a free society with various battles among its citizens and its news media, and you have a totalitarian state. If you deviate, we kill you, probably torture you first. There is no freedom of speech in Gaza. There is no freedom of press in Gaza. There is no freedom of assembly in Gaza. There's no freedom for any other religion other than Islam in Gaza. But dueling narratives. Well, I've got to keep these headlines, you know. They're really, I think I will, I'm going to keep the physical paper. The New York Times is subtle, more subtle than the LA Times. The US backs Israel as cause of blast remains disputed. So, in other words, the United States is not backing Israel because what Israel claims is true. The United States is backing Israel because Israel is our ally, and the lowlifes known as Hamas, the Nazis of our day, well, we don't back them. did So, we just pledge a hundred million dollars to them? Is that correct? What is that? Palestinian aid. I know. Well, where is it going, the Palestinian aid? Well, that's what I said. Yeah, I mean, that's not how they're phrasing it. That's not how they're phrasing it. Well, if Hamas is not Palestinian, you are. Well, maybe it's going to you. A hundred million. Yeah, no, no. have And you deeper roots in Palestine than they do. Yours goes back 2 ,000 years, 3 ,000 years. By the way, in your case, it really is true because you are a descendant of Aaron. That's genetically provable because you're a kohane, you're a priest in English terms in the Jewish religion. So this is our media at this time. Ami Horowitz apparently went, I didn't get to see it, but we're going to have him on. So where did he go? To the village, Greenwich Village in Manhattan? And he asked people if they support Hamas? Well, what was the actual question? Because it's hard to believe, even for me, I do find that a bit hard to believe, that people would acknowledge that people do it. I mean, that people, of course, it has nothing to do with Hamas, it has to do with if you support Israel for the left, that is supporting colonialism and apartheid and whites versus blacks and rich versus poor and strong versus weak. The left doesn't ask who is right, they ask who is white, which is ironic because most Israelis or half of Israel is not white. They're as white as the average Palestinian, if you will. They're indistinguishable racially for most Palestinians. Who is this latest? What are you with the New York Times? Sixty -five police injured in Berlin as pro -Palestinian activists riot set fires during banned protests. Well, you know my phrase, Germany is always wrong since Bismarck, a lot of individual fine, fine Germans, but Germany is always wrong, is a fair guide to modern history. Angela Merkel led the crusade to enable millions of people from the Middle East, most of whom share none of the average Europeans' values into Europe. And I was a pretty lonely voice in the West, I mean there were voices like mine, clearly I was not alone, but lonely because you sounded like you were mean -spirited if you said what I said. They're bringing in, for the most part, alien values to Western civilization, among them hatred of Jews, I mean genocidal hatred of Jews. I can't say that Angela Merkel was a regular listener to my show, she should have been. So now here are the consequences. You know my guideline, one of my guidelines, I have many. The moment you ask, what is the price, you become someone who has left the left. The left does not ask because they're children. Among the many awful virtues of leftists is that they are immature. This doesn't bother them because they never think in terms of maturity, but it's a fact. When you don't ask what is the price, you do what feels good at the moment. That is what children do. It feels good. The candy bar feels good at the moment. It felt good to bring in all of these people. I am virtuous, that's what's called virtue signaling. By the way, the signaling is not just to others, it is to oneself. People like to feel good about themselves and nobody has mastered that art greater than people on the left. That's why they developed the self -esteem movement, because they are into self -esteem for themselves. Chaos in Berlin, 65 police officers injured as pro -Palestine activists riot and set fires during banned protests. Now, why are they setting fire to parts of the country that extended a staggering goodness to them by letting them in? Because, like the left, they're in great. That's why. We'll be back. When you buy precious metals, it's imperative that you buy from a trustworthy and transparent dealer that protects your best interests. So many companies use gimmicks to take advantage of inexperienced gold and silver buyers. Be cautious of brokers offering free gold and silver or brokers that want to sell you overpriced collectible coins, claiming they appreciate more than gold and silver. What about hidden commissions and huge markups? Nick Grovitch and his team at AmFed always have your back. I trust this man. That's why I mentioned him by name.

Epicenter
A highlight from Evgeny Yurtaev: Zerion - Web3 Wallet UX 2.0
"This is Epicenter, episode 517 with guest Evgeny Yotev. Welcome to Epicenter, the show which talks about the technologies, projects and people driving decentralization in the blockchain revolution. Hi, I'm Frederike Ernst and today I'm speaking with Evgeny, who is the co -founder and CEO of Xerion, which is a well -known Web3 wallet. Evgeny, welcome. Thanks, Frederike. It's really a pleasure to be here. It's the podcast that I've known for a while, so I'm super happy to be here. And yeah, thanks for hosting. Cool. So you know about us, but what about you? Tell us about yourself. What's your background? Sure. So as mentioned already, I'm Evgeny. I've been in the crypto space since roughly forever. I would say like since the... Yeah, like my first interaction was like very like early on in 2015 or even earlier than that. But I really, really got into crypto after the white paper for Ethereum, to be quite honest. I still remember the day when I was on the subway, just like scrolling through the internet and I was, I came across the white paper and I just read it through it. It blew my mind. So that's how I got into like the whole space. Basically, since then, I've been committed to working in Web3, even though it wasn't called Web3 back in the day. And yeah, before that, I was still studying at that moment. I was studying computer science. That's my background. I'm an engineer by education and like my first adventures. But honestly, in like in my spirit, I'm an entrepreneur. So I've been working on my own projects basically since high school. And I started like various mobile apps, chatbots, some of them like with variable level of success. I think the most interesting one was actually already in the crypto space. That's before Ethereum was an app called CryptoTrader. It had over a million downloads with like zero marketing efforts or anything. It was just for tracking whatever price was. I built it for myself and it just scaled to many people liked it. And before that, I worked, this is how I actually found my co -founder. I was building mobile applications with like a venture studio in Moscow. So that's the background. Cool. When you were on the subway reading the Ethereum white paper, what was it exactly that appeared? Kind of the technology itself or kind of the idea of what it could empower in the long run? Yeah, so this is, I think, a fairly typical story for anyone living in a third world country. So when the financial system, basically like after the Soviet Union collapsed, obviously Russia took a capitalist approach. But the financial system was not nearly as stable as it was in Europe, for example, or in the U .S. And first I was intrigued by the idea of programmable money. This is like first when I read about Bitcoin. But as an engineer myself, I was not convinced fully, I would say, that this is going to be, you know, I kind of liked it. I started reading about the nature of currency, the nature of money, how it all works. Why is the currency in my country collapsing? And in others, it doesn't. Why the stock market behaves like the way it behaves. So this got in my interest, but really, really got excited when I understood that you could leverage the technology of blockchain to extend that to essentially programmable trust. So it's not just about money anymore. And if we can't have this shared trust layer, which is the Ethereum computer, this is where I was sold, basically. And yeah, I think there were a lot of other really forward -looking ideas in the white paper, many of which were, I guess, took years and years to realize. But I think the main proposition was changing the rules, basically, and where this whole thing is headed.
Mark Levin
How Many People Died Due to NY Times Covering up the Holocaust?
"Convey what I think of it. S. Wyman, page 145 on freedom, freedom of the press and his book and him into the Jews and he wasn't Jewish by the way, explained that quote, one reason ordinary Americans were not more responsive to the plight of European Jews during the Holocaust was Very that many, very probably a majority, were unaware of Hitler's extermination program until 1944 or later. The information was not readily available to the public because the mass he treated media the systemic murder of millions of Jews as though it were minor news. Thank you. On November 24, 1942, unambiguous evidence of the Nazi's ongoing extermination of European Jews was made publicly available but was largely ignored by the media. Quote, coverage in lack the of weeks immediately solid press following November 24 muffled the historic news at the outset. Here In fact, newly released documents prove that the Allied powers knew first -hand of the mass murder Jews by December 1942. As first reported on April 18, 2017 by The Independent, a British newspaper, quote, newly accessed material from the United Nations, not seen for around 70 years, shows that as early as December 1942, the US, UK, and Soviet governments were aware that 2 at least million Jews had already been murdered and a further 5 million were at risk of being killed and were preparing charges. I'm quoting, despite this the Allied powers did very little to try and rescue or provide sanctuary to those in mortal danger. At late December 1942, UK Foreign Secretary

We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. There's a name that has been discussed more and more. I don't want to say it's a household name, but it needs to be. If you're looking for something to do this weekend, do some reading, some reflecting, some researching, some listening about the name Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Many of you in the audience say, I know who Alexander Solzhenitsyn is. I wonder, even at our nation's quote -unquote elite schools, if I went to Harvard, if I went to Yale, and I asked how many of them knew who Alexander Solzhenitsyn was and a single thing that he wrote, I wonder what percentage that would be. Blake, what do you think? You went to Dartmouth. I'm curious what percentage of Ivy Leaguers would know a single thing that Solzhenitsyn published. Blake says 10 percent. Okay, that's about right. Solzhenitsyn was one of the most influential people of the 20th century. Solzhenitsyn was born and raised in Russia. He actually served in the Red Army, and then he was arrested by the Soviet police, otherwise known as SMERSH, an umbrella organization, counterintelligence, because the Soviet Union was more focused on what was happening domestically when it came towards dissidents than anything else. You'd spoke against the regime. So Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote a private letter just being critical of Joseph Stalin, and he was sent to a gulag. Solzhenitsyn then was let out of the gulag eight years later in something that was then known as the Khrushchev Thaw, and he started to write. He was an artist. He was a very, very gifted author. Publish and publish and write and he started to push the regime more and more, and then eventually his magnum opus was the Gulag Archipelago in 1973. If I could have my way and I could have every single young person in America read, study, and understand the Gulag Archipelago, we would not be in the mess that we are in, period. It's a very readable book. It's a very compelling book. Of course, that's the one book they don't want in our schools. They'll have gay pornography in our schools. They'll have 1619 Project, but to have a piece of literature that talks about how the Soviet Union went after their own citizens, how Marxism leads to outright totalitarianism and authoritarianism doesn't find its way into American schools. How long till that book is memory -hold? Some people say that this book, the Gulag Archipelago, was actually one of the most influential books that took down the Soviet Union, because it pierced the consciousness of the West. What's so amazing about this story is that Solzhenitsyn writes the book. Millions of people read it. The Soviet Union had a lot of explaining, too, about how they were sending their citizens out for death at the Gulag's work camps. And then Solzhenitsyn did a series of speeches. He started to travel the West, and the West thought he was going to come and speak about how amazing Western values are. He gave a famous speech in 1978 at Harvard, and the Harvard elite thought that Solzhenitsyn was going to come and talk about the inevitable victory of liberalism. Instead, Solzhenitsyn had a different tone. Solzhenitsyn was not there to pat the elites of the West on the back. Instead, the man who was imprisoned by the Soviets, who wrote a book that eventually brought down the Soviet Union, spoke to the West and said, you guys are headed in the wrong direction. This is 1978. Quote, Solzhenitsyn said to the people at Harvard, the speech was originally given in Russian, humanism, which has lost its Christian heritage, cannot prevail in this competition. Thus, during the past centuries and especially in recent decades, as the process becomes more acute, the alignment of forces was as follows. Liberalism was inevitably pushed aside by radicalism. Radicalism had to surrender to socialism, and socialism could not stand up to communism. The communist regime in the East could endure and grow due to enthusiastic support from an enormous number of Western intellectuals refused to see communism's crimes when they no longer could do so. They tried to justify these crimes. The problem persists in our Eastern countries. Communism has suffered a complete ideological defeat. It is zero and less than zero. And yet Western still intellectuals look at it with considerable interest and empathy. He said that at a Harvard commencement address, saying you intellectuals are just going to bring the very same Marxist idea toxins that we have ideologically defeated.

A highlight from Operation Atlantic Resolve
"Well then, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show. Bob France sitting in and yeah, you hear the music, you know where I'm coming to you from. Cleveland, Ohio, the home base, therelieffactor .com studios if you will. Our WHK radio, AM1420, the answer here in Cleveland, Ohio. An honor to be sitting in for Dennis once again. And of course today being Yom Kippur, which is why Dennis is off today. As he has of course been celebrating the holy days and starting back with Rosh Hashanah. The Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. And it's a wonderful thing. It really is. I kind of have to familiarize myself not being Jewish myself. I have to familiarize myself with some of the days and some of the reasons and the explanations for the calendar. And Yom Kippur is one of the ones that to me is the most solemn. A Day of Atonement, a day of reflection and looking inside and asking for forgiveness for the shortcomings that perhaps we have and so forth. And so to Dennis and to everyone who is commemorating and or celebrating and or taking part in participating in the Yom Kippur day today. This very important Day of Atonement. God's blessings to you all. Seriously, really appreciate that. In the meantime, we've got work to do. We have a lot of very important things to talk about and I want you to be a part of the show. 8 Prager776, that's 877 -243 -7776. I want to know, is it acceptable for me to be concerned with the plight of others but being unwilling to do any more than I have already done? And yes, if you're wondering, I'm talking about Ukraine. Yes, if you're wondering, I'm talking about the 113 billion dollars we have already sent to Ukraine to help them ward off the invasion of the Soviet, well, the Russians. Who are trying to rebuild the Soviet empire, I suppose, if you think that they are going to not stop in Ukraine and then advance to other European nations and so forth. I don't think so. I don't think they have the ability to do that any longer. I don't think they are the fearsome foe they were when the Soviet bloc was, of course, raining havoc on Eastern Europe and raining havoc on the world. But I want to talk about the Ukrainian situation. Here's two reasons. Two reasons why. The first of which is the fact that in Canada, over the weekend in front of the Canadian Parliament, the Lord Mayor Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, who came to the United States for the second time, hat in hand, saying please drop all you can into the hat here so that we can go back and continue our war with Russia. They came looking for more money, asking for another 25 billion dollars. And again, I'll get to the point about how I feel about spending that money and how I feel about it going forward in a moment, but he came to the United States and then he went up to Canada. And he went up to Canada before the Canadian Parliament and he sat there and he asked for support and financial remunerations from the Canadians as well. And the Canadians, of course, listened happily. And, you know, we're all all for supporting this. But what they did after that is something that is quite simply incomprehensible to me. Canadian organizations Jewish are among those now slamming the Canadian Parliament for giving voice to and a standing ovation to a man who fought for the Nazis during World War II. All because he is Ukrainian. All because he's Ukrainian. Video and photos show the Canadian Parliament erupting into cheers on Friday after President Zelensky's visit to the capital of Ottawa, when Canadian lawmakers also honored Yaroslav Hunka, a 98 -year -old Ukrainian immigrant who fought for the 1st Ukrainian Division, according to the Toronto Star, the division also known as the Waffen -SS Galicia Division, which fought for the Nazis and its paramilitary arm. The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center said in a statement, the fact that a veteran who served in a Nazi military unit was invited to... And by the way, this story that I'm starting with, this day, this first hour, this story is not because of today being the Jewish Day of Atonement. This is outrageous. This is when it happened is when it happened. Understand that. The fact that it is occurring, though that we're talking about this and it just happened during these holy days, is another point entirely. The fact that a veteran who served in a Nazi military unit was invited to and given a standing ovation in Parliament is shocking. At a time of rising anti -Semitism and Holocaust distortion, it's incredibly disturbing to see Canada's Parliament rise to applaud an individual who was a member of a unit in the Waffen -SS, a Nazi military branch responsible for the murder of Jews and others, and that was declared a criminal organization during the Nuremberg Trials. Some are calling for full -throated apologies from Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and from Ukrainian President Zelensky. This honor was given to a Ukrainian because everything now has to go Ukraine's way, because Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. We have to come up with untold, unlimited amounts of treasure and time for anything having to do with Ukraine. So they brought a Nazi military fighter, 98 -year -old Nazi fighter in World War II before the Canadian Parliament, and because he's Ukrainian, he got a standing ovation. That's how, beside ourselves, I think we've become with this, we have to do anything and everything we can to help Ukraine. So that's number one. The second reason, by the way, is we continue to try to make some sense out of the, you know, now that we have the actual official figures confirmed by the White House of $113 billion already spent in support of Ukraine. In addition to that, they say that our commitment to helping Ukraine has no end and there is no cost limit. They will do this no matter what the cost for however long it takes. The problem is, of course, there is no end game in sight. There's no end to the commitment that has been identified. When does it end? What standard would it be to say no matter how long it takes to finish the thought? Chuck Schumer? Joe Biden? Mitch McConnell? I don't care if you're Democrat or Republican. If you are giving an unended blank check, an unending blank check to Ukraine, what does that mean? What does that look like? You say for as long as it takes to... fill in the blank. What? Does every Russian in Ukraine have to retreat back across the border or is that not enough? Does every Russian have to leave Crimea, the peninsula that Russia took in 2014 when Obama was president? Or do they just have to stop bombing and stop the fighting? What exactly does it mean to say we're going to give this money until... or I'm sorry, no matter how long it takes to do what? Define the end game. There isn't one.

"They're being directed towards politics. What an intelligent last comment. That's right. Thank you. I'm going to get in trouble because I don't do the hiring at PragerU, but I'm going to definitely recommend you give a video. Your mind is very sharp and clear. It is truly a pleasure. That see, I have a different take on the exact same first half of your last sentence, and your take is at least as accurate as mine. My take is, women are not getting married, so they don't have the male influence in their lives. They're their only influencers. They and fellow girlfriends, as it were. And that is in totally understandable, but unless you believe that men and women think the same, which people on the left apparently do think, but it's not true. There is a problem. And I have said, and I'm attacked all the time by the left, which brings me great joy, by the way, just as a note to you. And that girls must be, I said this on the Young Turks, to their credit, they actually invited me on. The left almost never hears from people like us. And anyway, and so they just found it absurd that I would say that you have to raise daughters to control their natures, just as much as you have to raise boys to control their natures. And the nature that the girl has to control is not every emotion is a valid policy maker. Whether for herself or for society, but you have added so the lack of male influence is was my take and yours, I'm not dropping mine, but yours is just as valid. The normal direction of female compassion and caregiving is in the micro. But they don't have that anymore. Yes, and I think that's another feminine impulse that we usually have to rein in. It's that we can't save everybody..

"So we're going to take a break, but I don't want to keep people hanging as it were. Do you essentially agree with that? Yes. Okay. I want to hear your thoughts on that. This is an important woman and an important book. That's why I'm taking so much time. The snowflakes revolt, how woke millennials hijacked American media. And it's under 200 pages. Almost. We return you're listening to the Dennis prager show. Hi everybody, I'm Dennis prager. This is a remarkable guest amber afi. The snowflakes revolt, she's a millennial herself. She is a writer for what is your title actually Washington editor for the spectator, which I happily pay to subscribe and read. It's a wonderful site and the book is the snowflakes revolt how woke millennials hijacked American media. I'm still, by the way, reeling from the I did not know that The New York Times has an advisory at the Tom cotton article. What does it say we regret having republished this? What was the advisory? Well, I'm not hearing. I'm not hearing amber. Didn't go. I think it says something along the lines of it didn't go through the proper editorial process and it's essentially a warning that the piece should not have been published in its current form. It's really incredible. I encourage everyone to go read it. It is incredible. So I asked you a very provocative question, but it's not meant to be provocative. I didn't write my column or say it regularly. Women had disproportionately ruining America. And it just hit me over time, how disproportionately female the, for example. The belief that miners should have breasts removed on healthy girls if they say their boys. It is women who are propelling this much more than men, and these I'll bet that was true with The New York Times with the millennial revolt. So you said you agree, and we took a break, so give me some thoughts on this. Well, wokeness, fundamentally, is a manipulation of people's emotions because it's telling them that in order to make life easier for a group of people or to make life more fair for a group of people who have been historically disadvantaged, you have to support this certain slate of policy proposals or this group of ideologies. And women, of course, would have this resonate more with them because as we know and I would probably get in trouble for even saying this, there are biological differences wherein women tend to be more empathetic, more compassionate, and tend to be caregivers. And so they are, it appeals to them more, the idea that they can help people out and give people a hand up if they support this progressive ideology. And I think this has only ramped up and become more toxic over the past decade or so because women are getting married at older ages and having fewer children. So their caregiving sentiments are not being directed towards families..

"Is that is in the title that they are snowflakes that they are incapable of dealing with the fact that life has challenges and pain. Is that a fair summary? Yes, that's correct. Okay. By the way, is there a more dramatic example you would know this because you wrote a book on this, but I want people to know that even those of us who didn't write a book on this are aware of the hijacking of American media by these millennial snowflakes, what happened at The New York Times when it's long time opinion editor invited a Republican senator to write a column, want to tell us the story. Absolutely. So at The New York Times, during the summer of 2020, when there were riots breaking out across the country, Tom cotton was invited to write an opinion piece about sending in the National Guard to quell the riots. This piece sparked an internal revolt in The New York Times newsroom. And not only just in terms of complaints on slack channels or to editorial directors, but there was also a public social media campaign that these woke staffers instituted where they accused their colleagues who had published this opinion piece. Of causing harm to black New York Times staffers. They legitimately claimed that the publication of this op-ed was going to lead to violence against black people. And what ensued was essentially an apology tour on behalf of New York Times leadership. It led to the resignation of several of the opinion editors there, including James Bennett, and the op-ed to this day has an editor's note at the top of it, indicating that it should have never been published in the book. Really, I did not know that. That's awesome. It's so they're stupid at The New York Times. Aside from censorious and vile, they're stupid because it's their way of acknowledging we never publish anything we differ with. That's exactly right. And what's insane about this internal takeover of all of these media companies is that usually the people who are who are doing it who are pushing for progressive activism over a search for facts and truth is that they're usually the most mediocre porous performing employees or at least in the lowest level position. So there are people who don't have any authority whatsoever. And don't really have much talent. And yet they demand that they have their hysterical. I forgive me. I have a tough question, seriously, tough question for you. I wrote a column writing columns for decades and one recent column I wrote about what I believe and I gave a lot of data the disproportionate influence of women in the woke world..

"So as I said to you earlier that being told by your upbringing that life is unfair, is, as I said to you, it's a, it's the best vaccine vaccine you can take against depression. And against bad ideas. They, as you said, this generation of which you remember. Expects life to be uncomplicated. That's why Adam Carol and I made a film called safe spaces. And no safe spaces, sorry. And this whole notion of a safe space embodies what you're talking about. You're unhappy that a conservative came to your campus, come and have hot chocolate and play and play with Plato. The Georgetown have safe spaces. They did. And one of them was implemented because of something I did. When I was the chair of college Republicans, my junior year, we decided to bring doctor Christina Hoff summers to campus. And we were, I believe, the first major university to do so, even before oberlin. And the reaction was very aggressive from the campus left. I was reported to the administration for allegedly creating an unsafe environment for my fellow students. They had a safe space next door to the speech itself. They demanded that we institute a trigger warning for the event, which we refuse to do. And then even afterwards, when video of the event went up on YouTube, Georgetown itself, the administration tried to get us to remove that video, even though the event was open to the public. So it was a major fiasco where these people who didn't have to attend the event didn't even have to listen to what doctor summers had to say had somehow made themselves the victim of a speech that had yet to happen. How many allies did you have at Georgetown? It was not a lot. The college Republicans had an active membership base of about 40 students and out of those I would say maybe 5 to ten were as outspoken or close to as outspoken as I was. The rest of them really just wanted to avoid controversy and that was a problem, obviously, because there's a lot of safety in numbers when you're in these very contentious political environments and we simply didn't have that. A lot of us felt like we were on an island and I heard from quite a few of my friends after the Christina hof summer speech that they never wanted to do anything like that again because of how mentally draining it was to be constantly defending yourself from whatever accusations they were throwing out from rape apologists to racists to massage them. Regard Christine half summers as some hate filled human being, it's equally absurd and vile. The woman is such a serious decent professorial even individual, I know her for many years. So she came, did she with did she give the speech unmolested? She did. There were people in the back who had signs of protest and of course there were some people who asked some rather nasty questions. But I think the entire event really demonstrated the arrogance and narcissism that defines my generation as well because these people had basically read her Wikipedia page or maybe Googled vox for some example of her saying something that that's what they do..

"Yeah. You're a special guy Ryan. I'm very, very happy to make your acquaintance. Do you know you wouldn't know, so I'll just tell you one of my books is unhappiness. It's a very important subject to me, because as I say, the happy make the world better, the unhappy make it worse. I actually have a chapter, and the book is completely apolitical. I have a chapter on victimhood. That if you think you are a victim, if that is a primary identity, it is not possible to be a happy person. Wow. Well, you're living it. You're all living the truth of that thesis of mine. Yes. Absolutely. I don't want to, I don't want to in any way cause a bigger rift in your family, believe me. But I thank you. But I want you to know that part of what they are annoyed about with regard to you is not only your changed politics and values and so on. But the unhappy who are often unhappy for either psychological or even social reasons because if you're told you're a victim, you would become unhappier. They resent your happiness. I just want you to know that. It may not have been something you yourself have thought through, but I want you to know that. If you were as miserable as they, if you were as angry at the world as they would love you more. Yes, yes. Honestly, Dennis, just to that point, I have seen that in real time, you know, when I speak about me being happy in this country and wanting to serve my country being proud of where I'm from, and I talk about certain values and principles, they get upset. They feel like I need to be angry. They feel like I need to try that resentment towards white. That's exactly right. Ryan, you've made a really big impact on me. I am very happy to know you and I would like to do this again. You're a joy and accredit to you yourself and to prager you and to Christianity. God bless you, my friend. We will meet again. Yes, sir. Thank you so much, Dennis. It was a pleasure. See you next time. Please help prager you. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Dennis prager show. This is a good example. As a preface to my introduction to my forward as an exercise in redundancy, this is a perfect example of why I laugh at myself when I first began radio. Decades ago and I haven't a daily show for three hours and I asked one of the legends of radio man named ray breen familiar certainly to many of you in Southern California. Who was on 5 hours a night. Midnight to 5 a.m.. And I'll never forget, I said to him somewhat nervously, I said, ray. I can't imagine I'll have three hours of things to say every day. And he just laughed. A man who had 5 hours of things to say every day. Anyway, why is this the forward to my introduction to my preface? Of my guest, there is so much that I want to talk to you about. But this young woman is another find if you want hope and I don't believe in hope that is baseless. But if you want hope for our society, you should listen to this show regularly because of all these spectacular people I have on, and not just young people. That obviously gives hope just because of the chronology of things. But there are so many terrific people in this country. This country is the most toxic idea producer in the world. It is also the best idea producer in the world. The best and the worst in ideas are coming from the United States of America. And in the best category, falls this woman, amber afi ATH EY I've had it on before. Who is all of 28?

PragerU dot com, but the highlight is interviewing each day. Somebody affiliated with PragerU. And I go as far as Los Angeles, just yesterday, the prager force member that's our 19 thousand strong young people organization. Was in Britain today. He is in Los Angeles. He is Ryan baudri, ride that I pronounce your last name correctly. You sure did actually, you had it perfect. Ryan bodrick, that's right. Well, one minute, I'm debating, do I give credit to my engineer or not? And I won't. The fact that he told me that it was bowdre should be irrelevant because I accepted his suggestion. So I should get all the credit. There you go. Granted. Exactly. Ryan is a pleasure to meet you. You are on the older side of prager force members. You're 31 you told me. I sure am yes there are 31 years old, so I think definitely on the older side, but you know, I'm here to support. That's really nice. So how did you discover PragerU? Yeah, so I discovered prager you really by happenstance, I was on, so I'm pretty happy on social media, and I think of the past, maybe like four or 5 years. I started getting on Instagram a little bit more, and then I just ran into some PragerU videos, really by accident. But I was intrigued by them, and I started to look at a few of them. And specifically, I was drawn to one of you guys, people of mala. She had a story where she talked about her upbringing, and how she came over to more of the conservative values and things like that. And it really spoke to my heart and spoke to my own journey and then from there, I started looking at more of the videos and then now here I am prank forest member and very strong for the cause. Well, that really does my heart good. Is a new remarkable young woman, if though for those of you who don't know, she's actually sat in for me, not only been on the show, she has sat in for me. Yes, yes, right. She's amazing, amazing young woman she has a BLM tattoo on her arm. That is how far she has traveled, morally and philosophically, and in large measure, because of PragerU, of course the credit goes entirely with the individual, but we have to spark something, so you discovered us and then when did you join prager force? Oh, I actually joined prager force this year. I think about maybe a month or a month and a half ago. There was an event that was happening here in SoCal, and I wanted to go and then I found out that you had to be a greater force. Remember, so I said, oh, man, you know, I really want to become a member anyways and especially for this event. That's coming up. So how do I do this? We're online, registered, and thankfully, the folks over at prager four sign me up, you know, pretty quickly within the day. So then I was able to come on over and enjoy the event. You had a good time. It was an incredible time. Really Dennis, there's nothing like being in a space full of just very strong passionate patriots. You know what I mean? Especially in today's day and age. And, you know, me being in Los Angeles, right? Uplift here for about 31 years now. All my life. And you know, I'm not too fond of it anymore, especially with kind of what I've learned about, you know, conservative valued versus liberal and things like that. LA is a pretty, you know, I would say anti conservative space in a lot of ways. And so, you know, being able to go to an event where I can have fellowship with other like minded individuals who are conservative and who are patriots who love this country and we can just talk and share ideas and share struggles and things like that. Really, it was a wonderful time and a very, very grateful for prayer for us for putting on that event and just having a good time for us. Were you ever on the left? Yes, there I was. I absolutely was. That's why I said I did kind of feel towards a modest story. I was, I would say that I grew up pretty force fed democratic ideologies and things like that. Victimhood, victim mentality, that kind of thing, you know, as a black man, I was expected to think a certain way after a certain way and vote a certain way. And actually, it wasn't until, man, it was the election of Trump where, you know, since it was so just like, you know, so many passions on both sides. I finally started to look into some of the things that I believed, right? And I think at the time, I became a Christian, so looking at my Christian principles, my Christian values, I just started to notice that they lined up a lot closer to conservative values. And so from there, I just started to dig a little bit more. I started to do some research. I thought about the idea of personal responsibility, right, accountability, things like that..

We believe your targeting transgender youth and will you believe we're targeting transgender youth?

Puberty blockers. They don't use the term. They don't want their readers to understand. They call it healthcare, like abortion has nothing to do with taking a life. It's a health measure. This has nothing to do with distorting the biology of a child. Distorting the health of a child. Nah. It's healthcare. Get it? Remember the left lies with these with which you breathe because truth is not a left wing value. Winning is. Controlling is. By the way, they're right, though, the American medical association and American academy of pediatricians to the disgrace of American medicine, which has so covered itself with shame, it is very difficult for a regular person in America to come to peace.

I went through changeable LA times editorial kids should be allowed schools should be allowed to hide from parents that their child at school says he is a girl or she is a boy. Mind you, if every adult in children's lives said no, you're a boy. You really are a boy. I don't know why you think you're a girl. And I love you, and I support you, but your brain is playing tricks on you. You are a boy. If every single adult said that in the vast majority of instances, you would have ultimately a happier and healthier individual. Having adults say, oh, of course you're a girl. When you're ten years old, it's not a good thing. But the LA times thinks it is a very good thing. It's odious, a bill that says schools should inform parents. While. Odious, hateful Bill, that's another term that they use. So they acknowledge that it's unlikely to advance in the democratic controlled state legislature. It was likely filed only to rile up California liberals. By the way, it's not. It's not true. I don't think California liberals think that the bill is wrong. California leftists, what the left has done, like the LA times editorial board. You can't get left of the LA times editorial board as a rule. What they have done is they have raped the word liberal. As so many other words have been done, too, and what they've done is they have co opted it. We're not leftists. We're liberals. And so the liberal thinks, oh, this is what liberalism thinks. So I support the LA times editorial board and AOC and leftists who are ruining our society and hate western civilization. And that's because I'm a liberal and now I know what it means to be liberal, a liberal wants children, wants schools to be allowed to hide from parents that their child says that he is a girl or she is a boy..

"Love Through harry gold and klaus fucks through both of their confessions part lines up. Dooley's is probably definitely as by But the claims against ethel. His wife and the sister of david was kind of dubious. What she commie. Yes where she married to a spy. Yes was she instrumental in passing along state secrets. That part is not clear. You know there's a lot of people who debate this topic. It's pretty hot. Actually their kids are have made a big plea to try and get them posthumously or at least get the mother ethel posthumously. pardoned for For her role in this mess And i think. I think they asked obama to do. He said no or something like that. I forgot about that part. A sore hand was just released from prison. So and In in Robert kennedy junior supported of it. That's right that's right you don't mind. We talked robert. You know Rfk junior definitely is like. Yeah i kind of believe that. He was probably hypnotized or something. I think yeah. Yeah but i mean what's interesting about the stories that date david greenglass brother of ethical. You know he ends up snitching on his sister and and some people are pointing out that he he actually did this to save his wife who may have been the actual person that was typing up the notes so like he passed off the blame onto his sister. Which kind of fucked up right but the biggest story about how this about this part about this story i should say is how it ends remember. Klaus he leaked all that technical information through harry gold to the soviets and for doing this remember. He was in the uk at the time. He was a a refugee. But this is abc. Different rules there. But for his crime he got fourteen years and served nine and change and got off with good behavior but he gave them like technical shit like really important. Stuff harry gold. Who is an american who was passing. The information between the two places got convicted and sentenced to thirty years and in sixty five. One of his appeals Went through and he got paroled for good behavior to when he served less than half that time the thirty years here in the states he was also credited for some time that he spent in jail before his trial when they were trying to figure out what you know what his role was here. But you know he. He sang like a canary. so he got off. I guess easy. But julius and ethel specifically ethel. They were both sentenced to death. They were interesting. So why do you think that was. So i don't know man i is. This part really fucks me up. So julius definitely was a spy like i said before and he did leak information that resulted in in or played a part in how the soviet union got the atomic bomb in us. You know creating a world where you know. We don't have a nuclear monopoly and therefore you know we have. This mutually assured destruction in the threat of like you know fucking the world's gonna blow up or something like that but as i pointed out before it's totally entirely possible that any of these other countries could have organically created the bomb. So they would've gotten into eventually. I think that's my opinion right The thing that really messes me up with this is that i feel like they. They just got the end of the stick on judicial area. And you know. I'm all for them serving time but like for them to be sentenced to death is kind of extreme and i think they were just doing this in the.

"He ended up getting fired later by the. Us army Because they discovered that he was a member of the communist party so even though it was somewhat real like prevalent like communist clubs and things like that here in the united states. The us military really didn't like it very much. So that's why he got let go from his position there And also because he's working on a top secret fucking lab Any was a communist. So you know. I guess it kind of made sense even if it was a little weird but at that facility. He he They were doing research on electronics. Communications radar and guided missile controls So he had a lot of access to important shit while he was there But it it started getting crazier when You know. Julius ended up getting recruited to be a spy for the interior ministry of the soviet union and he ended up providing them with thousands of classified reports from emerson radio Including a complete proximity fuse for the bomb so like how detonates and the spine got really intense after a while When julius was instructed by his handlers to start recruiting more spice and one in particular that he brought on was ethel's brother david greenglass so his brother-in-law And he brought him on because he was working on the top secret manhattan project at the los alamos national laboratory with claus fucks. He ended up getting a hundred dollar bonus for this for the recruitment bonus. So that's they made them or it which is interesting eventually when our guy Klaus fox gets caught and he confesses. He ends up snitching that he was working with an american guy. Different guy named harry. Gold and gold was like the go-between he was the courier for the leaked information. So harry gold gets arrested in one thousand nine hundred fifty and he. Snitch is on david greenglass. Who is also passing him information to give to the soviets. You can see where this is going rank. So this niche and keeps going against way juicier. The short version of the story is david snitch on both julius and his sister ethel and he claimed that ethel was typing up. Handwritten leaked documents for julius to pass along to harry gold right now. Julius was definitely by like the case that the fbi makes against him is pretty solid and you know. They connect him with his handler..

"The the world has known this At least the scientific world has known that you know that about this vision process and the splitting of atoms and how can create these potentially theoretically create these weapons and The fact that there's that there's no word back kind of tells that they they are they either have it or they're really really developing it right now. And why wouldn't they. You know why. Why wouldn't they be developing it right now. You have this theory. And the united states is in a position to create this bomb They have the resources to create this project. You know they're not what you like you had mentioned earlier. There's not there's not a land invasion From the easter west coast either from japan or germany They're free to concentrate on the science and and miss on this project and In in create that and now with the creation of that bomb. You're creating you're making yourself masters of the world like there's no is no competition with. Yes especially if you're able to successfully detonate it and show that you're willing to use it. Which of the united states does twice. Yeah and the unfortunate part for the soviets here is that although they got all these signs that we were probably working on her release pretty far along in the process because we stop talking about it They basically wrote us off. They were like a lot of the older. Scientists in the soviet union. Didn't think that we could pull it off in. You know even ten years in any reasonable amount of time for it to make a difference in the war said eight. They thought it was just not important. Right now And you know it wasn't until after the potsdam conference in that we talked about that that the soviet union started picking up the pace added schwartz in that in that Paper broke talked about the inhumane conditions. that the soviet scientists were subjected to to accelerate the nuclear program. Things like they were working Incredibly long hours. Nobody took any holidays like they were forced notes. That the places. Yeah you ever hear about like Of video game creating designing.

"Buy it was online. It was from a harvard. Undergrad the Michael schwartz in nineteen ninety six and He starts off by saying That he quotes Nikolai alexandrov and he says there was no russian. Atomic bomb there was an american masterfully discovered by soviet spies. And then you know. This whole paper goes into just how You know what. The role of espionage was in the soviet atomic drop a bomb Yup process so. I'm curious to hear what you thought of that. It was a great find. Actually i i have no idea. Hey find this shit. Sometimes but the premise that paper as you pointed out talks about this extremely hotly debated subject of how the soviets ended up with a bomb actually found almost an equal number of of You know resources that you know say that they were able to do it on their own and resources that say it was only through espionage. They were able to do it. I think the truth is probably a little bit of both right but there. There was a lot of competing arguments that historians bring up here on the soviets Against the the idea that the soviets stole the bomb though so some of them will point out that the soviets brilliant scientists they laid out a lot of groundwork for atomic weapons early on in the discovery of vision so a couple of noteworthy things. In thirty two they split the lithium atom by proton bombardment. Guy eager Kurchatov in thirty five discovered. Something called the ice. Oh murray of artificially radioactive atoms. i don't know what that is but sounds important You know the soviets were the first scientists in the world to repeat the experiments of splitting the atom by artificial means. That's an incredibly important This guy named semenov Established the conditions that were necessary for few Few efficient chain reactions. That was For his work between thirty nine and forty once as well before You know the the war had kicked off their or at least a before. The invasion italy's And he got the nobel prize for physics among many other soviet physicist who also got nuclear achieving nobel prizes for nuclear physics in the thirties But i tend to agree with you.

"And when you got the nazis on your door you kind of have to prioritize that you know which. I don't totally blame them on that. But what they ended up working with they had something like only twenty scientists in a small support staff around them. That were working on vision at the time. So you can imagine any of the early like Any of the early progress that they made researching vision pretty much. Went out the window. You know At this point because they've got reduced a lot in meanwhile just put this in in proper context the manhattan project that operation had over one hundred thirty thousand people billions of dollars behind so this is like a skeleton crew. Twenty people verse late. This top secret. Multi billion billion dollars was huge amounts of people that was backed by three different states. what. Us britain and canada were all funding. This much larger industrial might than for the show. Viet union had so right. it is Just the Disparity between the manpower between the two programs sources is in resources is just huge huge and honestly that warrants a show all by itself Talking about the manhattan project. Maybe we we do on but needless to say. They beat the soviets to the bomb by a mile right by a lot. So yeah the always. We're pretty good at nuclear like Physics but you know just priorities. They just didn't invest in it. And you know by nineteen forty-five though the us conducted the trinity test when they finally were able to successfully blow up in a uranium bomb. And as we talked about in our last episode. The soviet union Trimming basically told stalin how they got the bomb but stunks seemed at least outwardly. Pretty disinterested yeah last. Spoke about this. So I said that. This is according to truman that he had mentioned to stalin during the pasta Conferences that he had this new weapon of unusual destructive force..

"Is because spitting out a bunch of energy and neutrons kick off a chain reaction that is later used to create the atomic bomb and nuclear energy. Think of it this way Of stacking up some dominos right pretty simple concept push over the first one that will not over the next domino and so on its own. It's on right. The idea was that if you stuck a bunch of uranium together and you shot with a neutron that it would release shit of energy and some neutrons and those neutrons would go on to split more uranium which makes more energy and more neutrons you get my drift boom yet. You got that bomb right and also energy if you wanted to use peaceful means but we're talking about bombs today so yeah basically by accident by blown shit up at the micro scale. They discovered that if you do this process of bombardment to uranium you get this chain reaction its prequel anyway. So the germans they they discovered this i right and then physicists from all of the world tried to replicate it so that they can use it for like weapons shit Physicists like the soviet once right in and this is kind of where return to the soviet atomic program who. Here's the thing so something that i'm confused about is that so You know from what i've read. It seems that soviet had already had a really pretty appre strong grasp on these theories On theory vision And they had this theoretical understanding but you know they get the bomb or they test their first. They had their first nuclear test in nineteen forty. Nine I think they're confident by the year. Nineteen forty seven that they were going to get the bomb so However i'm curious wendy win. Did they start working on this actual or what did they start working on this time of project like. When did it really start to exist. I've read multi starting point so they confused on this one pretty much in. I mean like scientific communities are kind of cool because they all share information right. They'll right In scientific journals. And you know those picked up all over the world and translated and stuff like that so generally speaking Information travels pretty quickly and at the time. When the germans figured it out the soviets tried among other physicists. All of the world they pretty much started working on this immediately afterwards After the germans figured it out but they had some major challenges and i i know that you had pointed out a bunch of them a little earlier on and the show here Where you know the the first major challenge that the The soviets face was nine hundred. Forty one when the germans invaded right the soviet union and like you pointed out all the attention went to fighting off the nazis and nuclear physics got back burned so those scientists were put to work instead on other things right so while they got a pretty early start and they had like. They're making some headway to As you pointed out earlier you know the the war was much more pressing And though scientists they they put them to work on things like radar and shit right Because that was seen as more important for like immediate right now But there were still a couple of scientists that were working on vision anyway. One scientists in particular. Peter l. pizza A he was actually the one that that Came up with the idea that it would be good idea to use a uranium bomb to fight the germans So they let them keep doing his thing but they didn't really give him a whole lot to work with the second challenge. Here is just manpower and resources Like i said before the most of the soviet union's top scientists were working on more conventional technologies which produce an immediate impact on the war. Ray like conventional bombs conventional radar. Things like that were useful right now..

"Physicists They i guess they understood that through nuclear vision they could develop an extremely powerful bomb but they only had a theoretical understanding. So by the eve of the nazi invasion the soviet union lacked any type organizational setup for large-scale project therefore despite their theoretical understanding they lack the technical billy to to apply that to an actual bomber. Weapon or warhead. And you know there. There were nowhere close to being able to build a bomb in nineteen forty one but this bomb becomes an issue again and this is what i found really interesting and i think this kind of Kind of create a really interesting conversation from here when they got wind that the west was building one and The way that historian. Not thomas holloway puts. It is that the become the bomb became an issue in the soviet union when they noticed that the western physics journals no longer published articles dealing with nuclear vision so they concluded that they must be working on a bomb and After that stalin authorized a small scale project at the academy of scientists for the investigation into the possibility of an atomic bomb in nineteen forty. Two and Idir Kurchatov was appointed the director of this project. So a lot of things to unpack right here. But i think the first thing we should do we start off with the basics. What is vision. Because we've talked about this in previous episodes You know with the iranian nuclear program or lack thereof iranian weapons nuclear program. But right what the hell is fucking fishing. We did an entire by the way on nuclear weapons versus nuclear villian programs. It's like a two hour episode. And i'll take the pepsi challenge on that danny breaks it down better than anywhere else.

"That was not the that was not a that was not a a a great difficulty for me. let's conclude. There's a a really interesting connection between jonathan schnur. not just scholar but as a person to the story How you first heard about this hot links back to a person. We didn't talk enough about. Of course the conversation but We will now Moore beckon dorf as you said. She had a daughter named tanya. And lo and behold the jonathan schnur dot to know tanya decades and decades and decades. After that could you could describe heures i can give the long version or the short version. I selects sorry when go ahead and say as much as you want. Sure i'll i'll give the long version because you can do what you want with it. The long version is that in nineteen eighty. I think or eighty I organized a conference about british politics. And i invited to it from england. A man named john grigg who became a friend of mine. John grigg was a lustrous historian but also a famous journalist. And who knew everybody. And if you went to john griggs house you're is likely to meet The foreign secretary. Douglas hurd at the time or the ambassador from india as anybody else and for whatever reason john and i became good friends and he was such a grant figure. I rarely wanted to ask him for favors. But i would go every year to england to do my research and would find a place to live usually in one summer. I just couldn't find anything. And i wrote to john and so john called me up a week or two later from london and said i've got a place for you to stay but before i introduce you to your new. Landlady go read her book. And so the landlady's name was tonya. Alexander and i went to the library and she had a book called an estonian childhood. And i read the book and the book of though the book was supposed to be a memoir and tanya had lived an extraordinary life. The book was as much about her mother as it was about tanya and her mother of course was more oven bankin dorf who became law carts lover so when i would go i became good friends with tanya. She was born in one thousand nine hundred fifteen. She was thirty years older than i are. More became good friends. To and every summer i would stay at her house in knightsbridge i would do my food shopping at harrods food hall which wonderful rights to to spend a lot of money can And tanya and i would talk and so tanya never really escape the shadow as i say of her mother. Although when you went to chinese house there would be nikita khrushchev's granddaughter or there would be Oh i don't know someone famous. Jonathan miller or whatever so. Let me see what i'm curious. What robin bruce lockhart. The sign the son of robert. He was always convinced that Mura was a double agent that she had been maybe working for the entire time or that she or that certainly later on in her should describe her rather extraordinary afterlife after the ply but I mean that is like taking evidence from the second wife about the first wife or vice versa or the second husband bought the first husband. Now it's it's so. I mean so we should explain that you've got this this had developed so before you knew anything else but lockhart pa in new about mura on beck indoor yes So and that's that's kind of important to how the that your book than develops. Yes so.
