kind of like ER. It took place in a Vietnam hospital.

Er with George Coloney and Noah Wiley. And I got
called in to do an audition for China Beach. It

was my second audition, the second audition I ever did,
and it was like twelve lines on China Beach. And
I got called in because the casting director, like I said,
saw me doing comedy. And I went in an auditioned

Delaney at the time. Actress Dana Delaneyan. It was a

Take a flick, chill for a minute. I'll be performing
this week in Alabama. Never thought I'd be saying that
(04:55):
I am performing in Alabama Tuesday, August fifth. I'm performing
in Jersey September twenty fifth, twenty six, twenty seventh at
the Stress Factory. Tickets for those shows and more shows.
I got a bunch of shows that I'm gonna put
on my website. They're all available at Michael Rapportcomedy dot
com Tri State area. Come see me in September, and
if you happen to be in Alabama, come see me
(05:16):
this week Birmingham Star Dome Comedy Club. But I got
to meet and greet a few people, did some three shows.
I did a show at the Improv, did a show
at the laugh Actor, and another show at the Improv,
and I love both those clubs. Obviously, you know the Improv.
I don't know if I've talked about it. I've talked
(05:36):
about it in the past. The Improv is like is
my club. That's my home club. No matter what other
places I perform at, no matter what other places I've
been to, that will always be my spot. I was
going there as a kid, as a teenager. My half
sister's stepfather was one of the owners of the Improv.
(05:57):
And in nineteen eighty three, probably around August of nineteen
eighty three, I had gotten kicked out of summer camp,
so I didn't have anything to do with My father
sent me to California to stay with my sister Claudia,
and she said, oh, you know, come to the club.
And I was like, I know what the hell she
was telling. I'm thirteen, I had a club. And she
(06:20):
took me to the Improv. And I went to the
Improv for the very first time in about August of
nineteen eighty three, and the same Improv, the same setup
for the most part. She took me in the back
of the club and I remember the first time I
was ever in a comedy club. The first person I
ever saw on a comedy club stage was Keenan Ivory Waynans.
(06:42):
Keenan Wayns was on the stage. Keenan had hair at
the time, and he had on camouflage pants and I
think a green shirt. And I remember that he had
on the camouflage pants because I remember he was doing
a TV show at the time, some sort of dram
or drama y and I remember recognizing him from the
(07:05):
show and you know, looking like he had the show
a wardrobe on. And I would spend so much time
there that summer, and then I would go back, you know,
Christmas time, holiday time, and go back in the summers.
And then I moved to California to live with my
(07:26):
sister and her mom, my half sister and her mom.
In nineteen eighty six, I went to Fairfax High School.
I went to Fairfax High School for a year because
I was in so much trouble every single year I
was getting kicked out of school and I had crazy
hoop dreams. I wanted to be in the NBA. And
I went to Fairfax High School and played on the
(07:46):
same bat well they were on the varsity, but we
played together. Sean Higgins, who played at Michigan their championship team,
Chris Mills, who had a great career in the NBA.
They were in the school and we played those are
my guys played with them all the time and the
rest of the basketball team. And would still always go
around the improv and I would see everybody performing there.
Everybody performing in the eighties at the improv. I mean
(08:09):
when I say everybody, I mean Jay Leno Young, Jerry Seinfeld,
Larry David when he had the hair, Joan Rivers, I mean,
Eddie Murphy would come in there. I never saw Eddie
Murphy on the stage. Every single time that Eddie Murphy
was performing at the og Original Improv on Melrose, I
would somehow miss it and I'd hear about the next day.
(08:30):
I'd be like, because Eddie Murphy was my I mean shit,
nineteen eighty five, eighty six, and Eddie Murphy was the
dude and there were no other dudes. It was just
Eddie Murphy's all like a rock star. It was like
Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Eddie Murphy like
he was literally in that category, like those were all
singers and then it was Eddie Murphy. He was that
(08:51):
big of a ginormous star at the time. And I mean,
like I said, Jay Leno, Garry Shandling would be in there,
Robert Townsend, who obviously went on to direct Hollywood Shuffle,
Our Senio Hall, who I've talked about a lot on
the podcast, and you know he babysat me and our
(09:12):
Senior Hall. I told the story before, but our Senior
Hall baby sat me, babysat me. It wasn't a baby,
it's like thirteen, fourteen years old. But he took me
to a Laker game. I went to a Laker game
in nineteen eighty shit, it might have been nineteen eighty
three that winter when I came back. And you know,
he was good friends with Magic Johnson, you know when
(09:33):
he did the Arsenio Hall show, Magic Johnson. You know,
we'd come on the show all the time. And he
took me to the Old Forum. Our Senior Hall took
me to the Old Forum. And I was with Jerry
Buss before the game and we were like in the
Forum club and we were at a dinner and literally
Muhammad Ali was eating next to him. I was eating
dinner with Muhammad Ali. I was bugging. I was out
(09:56):
of my mind, and we watched the game, and then
after the went in the locker room. It took me
in the locker room and I met Magic Johnson, met
Baron Scott, met Kareem Well, Kareem was, you know, kind
of to himself. But you know, I was like in
there the old forum, you know, with like the caged
lockers that you see like in all the highlights. I was.
I was in there. It was fucking crazy. Anyway, I
(10:19):
started doing comedy. I came back to California in eighty nine.
I started doing comedy. And when I started actually doing
comedy in nineteen eighty nine, they would put up like
you know, nobody's you know, they'd throw them up there
like different people and stuff like that. And I did
five minutes, and then I did ten minutes, and then
a couple of times after I you know, my first
(10:41):
few times I was doing comedy, I was on stage
and they were giving me like eight minutes or seven minutes.
I don't remember what the time was. It was ten
minutes or some shit. Like I had no act. I
just would talk a lot of shit. And the casting
director for TV show called China Beach, John Levy his
name was John Levy. He was there with his son,
(11:03):
and his son was like, you should put that guy
on China Beach. He's funny. And then I had an
agent at the time. I got an agent. What doesn't matter.
I could tell you how I got an agent, but anyway,
China Beach was a big show on ABC. Was a
big show. It was like a procedure, so it was
kind of like Er. It took place in a Vietnam hospital.
This is nineteen eighty nine or nineteen. This is nineteen ninety,
(11:27):
so it was like an ER show. You remember the
Er with George Coloney and Noah Wyley. And I got
called in to do an audition for China Beach. It
was my second audition, the second audition I ever did,
and it was like twelve lines on China Beach. And
I got called in because the casting director, like I said,
(11:48):
saw me doing comedy. And I went in an auditioned
to Warner Brothers, which was like, yo, you're going on
the Warner Brothers. A lot to do an audition, like
I'm going to be a star, Like you don't know,
I'm like bugging, like I'm tripping, I'm like I'm walking
in Warner Brothers and you're seeing like the signs and
the posters and you know, Batman and Jack Nicholson posters,
(12:09):
and I remember and all that, and I wound up
getting the part on China Beach, which was starring Dana
Delaney at the time, actress Dana Delaney, and it was
a big show and I was like, that's it. I'm
a fucking actor. I'm going to be an actor, and
that is it. And I cried when I got the
part for China Beach. I literally cried when I got
the part for China Beach. I could not believe it.
(12:31):
I was so relieved that I finally found something that
I might be good at, because, as I've talked about
in the past, so much, I wanted to be in
the NBA, and I was never as good as I
wanted to be. But when I got China Beach in
nineteen and just a relief that like maybe I had
a future as a young adult who could make a living.
(12:53):
And I, you know, a week or two later, I
was on the set of China Beach and I never
forget the act the Raymond Cruise, Raymond Cruz, who is
totally recognizable Raymond Cruz actor who was in Training Day.
He was in Better Call Saul, he was in Breaking Bad.
He was the gangster. He always plays gangsters and he's
(13:14):
such a nice dude. This dude Raymond Cruz, who you
totally recognize, he was in Training Day. He wasn't like
the main gangster in Training Day. At that scene with
Ethan Hawk, he was like the homewod was like, you
ever had your shit push? And he was like, I
had more shit push than Raymond. It was. Raymond was
also in China Beach and he had already acted a
little bit, but he kind of took me under his
wing and he had just started out, but he was
(13:35):
really cool with me. But Raymond Cruz, my man, was
in my first you know, show that I ever got
the opportunity to do. And every time I see him
him like China Beach and he's like China Beach. And
that was really, really, really crazy. But that was the
first role that I ever got. And whenever I'm performing
at the improv, none of those memories go away. I'm
always thinking about this or thinking about that, because, like
(13:57):
I said, the improv is still the same improv. It's
the same architecture, it's the same bar, it's a lot
of the same you know wood and it's the same setup.
And I spent so many nights at the Improv before
I was even thinking about being a comic, just wandering
around there like a thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old, sixteen
year old, just you know, hanging out. Really not I
(14:18):
wasn't even interested in comedy. Like I said, I wanted
to be in the NBA. But then when I you know, switched,
when I was about seventeen eighteen, I was like, I
want to be a comedy. I want to be the
next Eddie Murphy. I went from wanting to be in
the NBA to wanting to be the next Eddie Murphy.
It was like two fucking bad, bad dreams that I
never reached, but you know, it got me on track
and I wound up being the one and only disruptive
(14:39):
Warrior Michael Rappaport. But that's my story of how I
got China Beach, my very very second audition. I got
the part for China Beach at the Improv from doing
comedy and a crazy thing about China Beach. This is
a really bugged out part of China Beach and what
it meant to me, And this is a true story.
(15:00):
I was doing True Romance, which I believe was co
produced or co financed by Warner Brothers. I know it
wasn't a complete Warner Brothers film, but it was like
co financer, co produced by Warner Brothers. We were shooting
the scene when I got the part. Dick Ritchie got
(15:20):
the part in True Romance to be on TJ. Hooker.
It was brad Pick Christian Slater's Patricia Sharket in that scene.
I think she's in that scene, but I know it's
brad Pick Christian Slater. I'm pretty sure Patrica Sharquz in
the scene. We're on the set and you know, there's
all these movie posters on the set for the apartment
(15:40):
of Dick Ritchie and Floyd and in between takes, I'm
sifting through like the set and there's like scripts and
all that stuff, and I see scripts for China Beach
and I'm shooting the scene in True Romance where Dick
Richie gets his first part for TJ Hooker and God
is Witness. I'm seeing stacks of scripts first China Beach,
(16:03):
and I'm going through them, going through them, going through them,
and I found my script for my episode of China
Beach while we were shooting that scene in True Romance,
and I remember showing it to Tony Scott, and Tony
Scott may his memory be a blessing, was such a
great director and so encouraging to me and got such
(16:26):
a kick out of all the shit that I didn't
know what I was doing. But he was so like,
keep doing that, don't do that, keep asking. I remember
he kept saying, keep asking questions, kid, and he had
his actions and keep asking questions, kid, and it was
so encouraging as a young actor. But I remember I
was like, Yo, this is the episode of China Beach
that I did my first first role that I ever got,
(16:48):
which was crazy because I was playing Dick Ritchie and
it was like his first role that he ever got
in TJ. Hooker. But I'll never ever ever forget that.
I'll never ever forget those times and those memories and
those opportunities because it's like when I see that guy
Raymond Cruse, the act of Raymond Cruz who I mentioned,
you know, it's like we went through something together, although
(17:10):
it wasn't his first thing, it's like you remember those
special times when you're first starting out, when you're starting
to accomplish your dreams and your goals, they're so vivid
and so rich, and there was no cameras, there's no selfies,
there's no you know, yo, I'm on the set. It's
just like etched in your brain. Things you can never forget. Podcast.
(17:44):
I was thinking earlier, I'm trying to come up with
the great nickname for Candice Owens. You know, I'm iconic
for my nicknames. Obviously, Dick Sating, Donald Trump picked at
Donald Trump, lebron blames. So many great nicknames. There's I'm
forgetting a few. I am for Candaver Joe Biden, that's
(18:05):
one of my favorites. Smoking Joe Biden also a good one.
I know, I'm forgetting a few other nicknames. I've come
up with a few dandies, Bill Belichiet, although you know
that was I might not have come up with that,
but I might have. Of course, I come up with
the Raging Bullshitter, Gingo man Dingo, a Sultan of sniff.
(18:25):
You guys have also helped me with the nicknames, some
of those I've came up with, and people like wait wait,
I came up with that you probably did, of course,
mister New York, the White Chocolate Tito, the Jewish Jay Glamata,
the Charles Oakley of the Jews. They're just name after
name after name after name after name. But I was thinking,
was like, I need to come up with a nickname
for Candace Owens. And obviously the first thing that came
(18:48):
to mind was cunty Candace Owns. But you can't. You
can't use that. That doesn't have any crossover appeal, doesn't
have a curb side appeal. County Candace Owens. I wish
it did, and then I could say Kookie Candas Owns.
But kookie doesn't really describe Candas Owns. She's way more
(19:08):
than Kokie. So if you have any nicknames for Candis Owns,
please let me know. Like I said, County Candis Owns.
It's just it's limiting, can't use that. I like to
take my nicknames, you know, broad wide. I like to
take them out there. Kokie Canis Owns. Again, I think
Candas Owns. She's definitely Kookie. But that's like, you know,
(19:29):
like I put that in the top twenty things that
I think about Candis Owns. But Candace Owens who again,
if you have any nicknames, let me know. She finally
had her wet dream interview opportunity. Candace Owens finally got
what she wanted to sit down with convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein,
(19:57):
who I could go into a whole bunch of other
stories about my movies and experiences at Mirmax, but I'll
save that for another time because I just, you know,
was talking about true romance. I was just talking about,
you know, being on China Beach and so forth and
so on. But we all know Harvey Weinstein and Candace Owens,
(20:18):
who again, she just it's just Candice. There's a nickname there.
There's a nickname there. Haven't haven't come up with it.
Haven't come up with it. But Candice Owens finally got
what she wanted on her hunt, on her hunt for
all things Jewish to bring every single Jew, Zionist and
Israel to their knees. She got to interview Harvey Weinstein
(20:41):
from jail. Convicted rapists, convicted, certified piece of shit, Harvey Weinstein,
who don't get it twisted. During his reign at Miramex,
he was the head of the head of the head
of the head of all the Jews in Hollywood. If
(21:02):
there's any Jew in Hollywood that ran Hollywood, it was
Harvey fucking Weinstein and this fucking dog, this little rat.
Candisons who Candisones, do you have any idea the disrespect
that Harvey Weinstein would have treated you with if he
(21:23):
had an opportunity to treat you with that disrespect during
his run as president of Miramx. Candisons, do you have
any idea the type of piece of shit Harvey Weinstein
would have treated you like if you worked for him,
if you were an intern for him, or if you
were an actress for him, or he came across you,
(21:45):
he would have treated you like shit. He would have
been so fucking disrespectful and rude to you, candas Oons,
if he had the opportunity during his run at Miramax.
But Caniszones, I don't know. She probably jumped through hoops
and signed away this, that and the third probably signed
(22:06):
away all of her kids to sit down with this
interview with Harvey Winson. She was just like literally orgasmic,
and she sat down with Harvey Weinstein and she's asking
him this and asking him that, and saying that she
feels like he got railroaded, and Cannisones begged Harvey Weinstein
for some big reveal. She begged him, Harvey, Harvey, can
(22:28):
you tell me what do you think happened to you?
Do you think you were railroaded? Do you think you
had gotten an argument with somebody? Did you step on
somebody's toes? Harvey? And Harvey Weinstein is as desperate as
anybody could be. Harvey Weinston's got to be like seventy
years old. Harvey Weinstein's been in jail for a bunch
of years now. Harvey Weinstein looks sick. He's been in
and out of the hospital, walling jail. Who the fuck
(22:49):
knows what Harvey Weinstein has had to deal with while
in prison. Harvey Weinsteon is He's as desperate as you
could possibly get. And Cannisones was just asking him, She
was begging. It was like she was looking for this,
like she was gonna come all over herself. She was
just gonna She was elated, elated to sit there and say, Harvey,
(23:09):
who do you think it is? Who do you think
it is that brought you down? Do you think you
you kind of an argument? Did you step on anybody's sows,
and even Harvey Weinstein, that is most vulnerable, most desperate,
didn't give you the answer you need, You dumb fuck
Candace Owens. This is like Haraldo Rivera breaking into al
Capone's safe Candace Owens interview with Harvey Weinstein on her
(23:31):
quest to take down all things Jews control Hollywood, Zionist state,
the Masad runs every single thing in the world. This
was her al Capone Graldo Rivera moment. She sat there
with Harvey Weinstein, and Harvey Weinstein, desperate as he is,
got nothing for you. Even Harvey Weinstein didn't give you
(23:51):
the answer you want. And you were talking to the
head of the cabal. You were talking to the head
of the cabal. Harvey Weinstein has all the sixts, and
even here who do anything to get out of jail,
couldn't give you the fucking answer you want. Candice, your
fucking loser, and candas like interesting, very interesting, you fucking lowlife.
(24:12):
Candice Owens wan a fucking low life you want. Please,
if anybody has any nickname ideas that I could bring
to the mainstream, please let me know, because I haven't
come up with that certain special nickname that really captures.
What a low life, miserable, no good two bit piece
(24:36):
of shit. Candace Owens is you are a no good
loan life miserable. I was laughing what she's like, Harvey,
do you think what do you got? Harvey? Harvey would
do anything to get out of prison. And even Harvey
Weinstein didn't give you the answers you want. Candice owns,
you fucking creep you creepy Candace owns, still doesn't creepy
(24:59):
Kookie can owns. That's the creepy. I put like, top
fifteen things that Candice owns is Kookie Candas owns. I
put the in the top twenty things that Candis Owans
in obviously County Canvas owns. But I need something a
little bit more g rated. What else is going on?
(25:20):
You know, MTNA, Be totally honest. I've tried to pace
myself with the amount of time I spend talking about
the fact that it is now six hundred and seventy days.
We're almost at twenty one months, twenty one months, twenty
one months, almost two years since the violent, vicious terrorist
(25:49):
attack took place on October seventh, twenty twenty three, in
Israel by Hamas and a lot of innocent civilians. You
could watch the footage. The majority of the people that
you see in the footage from October seventh running around Israel, looting, killing, burning,
(26:11):
or a lot of the people, I'll say a lot
of the people were not wearing uniforms. They were in
civilian clothes. Watch the footage if you have forgotten. I
really think they need to put that forty eight minutes
of footage that I watched with my own eyes. I
would love it to be on HBO, New York Times YouTube.
(26:32):
There's got to be a place where that footage could live.
I watched that forty eight minutes what I could watch
of it. It was disgusting, that forty eight minutes of
footage from October seventh and saw things I never thought
I would see in my life. And of course, that
forty eight minutes of footage that I watched from October
seventh was shot in beautiful four K by the terrorists themselves.
(26:56):
They shot themselves, they videotaped themselves proudly on October seventh.
They didn't hide it. They didn't hide it like the
Nazis tried to do. That's why we can't refer to
Hamas as Nazis. Hamass Hamas the Nazis are the Nazis.
The Nazis. At least they had the decency to try
to hide their footage, but no Hamas. On October seventh,
(27:19):
they shot, videotaped themselves and posted it in real time.
They were streaming it live and posted it proudly. And
in that forty eight minutes of footage, I I saw screaming, yelling, excitement, elation.
I saw beheading. I saw with my own eyes. You
could look it up on X. It's blurred out, but
(27:40):
I saw it in four k unblurred out people being
shot in cold blood, smack kicked, stabbed, dead bodies, being kicked, punted,
fucking stomped on dead bodies. I saw with my own eyes.
You could look it up if you want to see it.
(28:01):
I heard and saw people screaming and yelling Alla walkbar,
Allah walk bar, calling their mom, I killed ten Jews
with my bare hands, Mom, I killed ten Jews with
my bare hands. Mom. You sick at that's what you
call to tell your mother that you killed ten Jews
(28:22):
with your bare hands, You fucking animals. I will tell
you that. In that forty eight minutes of footage, and
forty eight minutes is a long time. I did not
hear one of these people say from the River to
the sea, Palestine will be free. I didn't hear any
of them talk about nineteen forty eight. I didn't hear
any of them talk about genocide. I didn't hear them
(28:42):
talk about apartheid. I heard no one say Palestine will
be free. I heard none of that. You show me
some footage of October seven of them them saying apartheid,
Palestine will be free, or from the River to the sea.
You showed me that footage. It doesn't exist because they
weren't saying they're on a different plane. They ain't thinking
(29:04):
about what you're thinking about at your rally at Cornell, Columbia,
Times Square, at the park in Portland, or in Minnesota,
wherever the fuck you're at. Watch the footage. They need
to put that footage out so everybody could see it
in four K. Gorgeous four K. We were in four K.
(29:26):
You could see, you know what blood looks like, real
blood looks like. In four K. It's it's surreal looking
to see that kind of violence perpetuated. But they shot
that footage themselves on October seventh, and they put it
out in real time, they streamed it live. They put
it out as it was happening, proudly like it was
(29:47):
their student film that they were showing their professor, or
it was like the Sundance Film Festival, it was the
Slaughter Jew Film festil they put it out. They were
so elated and proud of what they were doing, what
they were showing the world on October seventh. And we're
now twenty one months later, and there has been so
(30:08):
many pieces of fake news that have been retracted and
retracted and retracted. And I'm going to tell you something,
and I'm gonna say this, Israel is not perfect. The
Jews are not perfect. Israel is not a perfect state.
The United States of America is not perfect. New York City,
where I am right now, it is not perfect. I
(30:29):
am not perfect. Wherever you live is not perfect. Your
government isn't perfect. Canadian government isn't perfect. Whatever state you're
from isn't perfect. Your mom's not perfect, your father's not perfect.
My mother's not perfect, father is not perfect, My wife
isn't perfect. Sorry, babe. Nobody is perfect, No government is perfect,
no country is perfect. Israel is an imperfect country. And yes,
(30:54):
you can complain, be frustrated with all things Israel. All
you want Israel do it and have done it every
single day. Israelis have been protesting the government of Israel
for years in droves. Thousands and thousands and thousands and
thousands and thousands and thousands of people come out and
(31:17):
have come out, and they're gonna continue to come out
because it's a democracy. What's not a democracy is Gaza.
Gaza is not a democracy, it's a terrorist ran state.
No one argues that, and somehow someway this week when
like I said, I'm trying to like pace myself. I'm
(31:39):
trying to make sure I diversify what I share on
the on the podcast, I'm trying to diversify what I
download and my intake because it's been so hard, it's
been so frustrating, it's been so demoralizing, it's been so overwhelming.
It's been so surreal to look and see that twenty
one months later, six hundred and seventy days, almost two
(31:59):
years later, there are there's still fifty hostages in Kaza,
and of course this is a war. It's messy. Israel
has fucked up. There has been mistakes made, there has
been investigations, there have been prices that have been paid
for soldiers who have broken conduct, and so forth and
so on. But Israel has gone and done every single
(32:20):
thing they could possibly do to try to fight this
war that we did not want, that Israel did not want,
that the Jews did not want, that the world did
not want, as humanely as possible. They've done every single
thing they possibly can to be perfect. And I'll tell
(32:41):
you something. The Jews are chosen. We the Jewish people
are chosen. I know, I know a lot of people
get upset when I say that. It's in the Tora.
I didn't make this shit up. If I made it up,
you think I would be podcasting right now. If I
was as brilliant to be the one that said the
Jews are chosen, you think I would be podcasting right now.
(33:02):
I'd be sitting owning buildings somewhere. It's in the fucking tour.
The Jews aren't the chosen people. I didn't make it up.
There's plenty of other people, namely Husham, that you could
take it up with. The Jews are chosen, but we're
not perfect. No one ever said the Jews are perfect.
(33:23):
Most importantly, the Jews never said that we are perfect.
Why we are held to unattainable standards of perfection more
than any other race religion in the history of race
religions is beyond me. We're chosen, but we're not perfect.
(33:43):
We'll be the first to tell you we ain't perfect.
Israel ain't perfect, and we never said we were, and
Israel never said it was. Podcast But like I said,
(34:12):
I have been trying to pace myself. I think everybody's
trying to pace themselves. But it is like the ginormous
elephant in the room that fifty hostages are still in captivity.
Fifty hostages are still in captivity. We are at twenty
one months, it is almost two years. October seventh, twenty
(34:36):
twenty five is right around the corner. Unless there's a
fucking miracle, these hostages are going to still be in
there two years later. And the amount of heartbreak, frustration,
the amount of true blue terror, the amount of anxiety
(34:58):
that Israel has been put through, And again I'll say
this again, Israel is not perfect. Israel has not fought
this war perfectly. They know it, they say it, They
take accountability They've done everything they can to try to
fight this war as humanly as possible. It's war. The
(35:20):
fuck do you think happens in the NFL offense defense
in the trenches? You think it's all hunky dory, Nate,
what do you think war's like. It's messy, it's dirty,
it's horrible. Israel didn't start this war, but we're heading
into twenty one months. There fifty hostages, two of whom
are American. Fifty hostages. And in the last two weeks
(35:43):
there has been so much fake news, mainly from the
New York Times, The New York Times close. How is
the New York Times the most well known name in news.
When you think of Nike, you think of sneakers, you
think of Coca Cola, you think of soda, you think
of news, you think of the New York Times. This
is the The brand of the New York Times is
(36:04):
as well known as any other brand in all of
the branded market, all of brands, certainly in news. New
York Times is the they got a font, They got
their own fucking font. Shut that fucking shit, hold down.
And when Trump said New York Times, the failing New
York Times, fake news, New York Times. I was like,
(36:25):
this guy's a player hater. I was uninformed. I woke up.
I'm fully woke. I am fully woke. Trump was right.
The New York Times is fake, fake shit, dog shit biased,
bullshit news. I want somebody to let me know how
many retractions, how many retractions has the New York Times
(36:47):
made in regards to crimes perpetuated by Israel and the
IDF since October seventh. Someone please let me know how
many tracks, says the New York Times made, And then
let me know how many retractions has The New York
Times made about crimes rapes, arsons, murders, kidnapping that The
(37:11):
New York Times has made regarding Hamas. Let me know, someone,
please let me know. There's got to be a way
to fact check that. I don't fact check at the
Iron Wrap port Stereo podcast, and I'm not going to
go into the details of all the food and the
hunger issues. Israel has not been perfect. They know that
they have taken responsibility. But the UN the world do
(37:36):
the United States? Remember when Biden set up that fucking
doc that port. I think it was three hundred and
sixty five million dollars that everybody has gone out of
their way to try to feed the people, the innocent
people of God. The United States has, Israel has, the
UN has. The UN sucks. Talk about another failing. But
these are two buildings in New York. The New York
(37:58):
Times building and the UN should be shut down down.
Shut those fucking piss hole corrupt buildings down. It would
be so great. The New York Times practice facility. James
Dolan by that building where The New York Times is
right now, set up a practice facility there. So the
(38:20):
New York Knickerbockers can live in New York City. That
could be the New York Knicks practice facility. The Knicks
will practice in Manhattan, live in Manhattan. They could walk
to the games. That shit would be dope. Or do
it at the UN. You can open up a hockey
New York Rangers slash New York Knicks practice facility at
the UN. They need to close the UN, They need
(38:43):
to close the New York Times. These are corrupt, rotten
to the core places. But there has been so much misinformation,
false information skewed when the entire world has tried to
feed humanly, the innocent civilia of Gaza and for some reason,
(39:03):
and it's everybody's fault. Let's just say it's everybody's fault.
It's Israel's fault, to United States fault, it's London's fault,
it's France's fault, it's Canada's fault, it's everybody's fault. There's
there's some reason they can't get fed properly and consistently.
But when there's this whole fake starvation, intentional starvation narrative
(39:24):
being put out and retracted, put out and then retracted,
but the damage is already done. You put it out,
you're attracted, the damage is already done, and you're putting
Jews and Zionists in harm's way. Because if Jews and
Zionists support an apartheid, a genocidal state like Israel who's
(39:48):
starving people, what do you think happens when the world
sees Jews and Zionists in real life. You're putting me,
You're putting Jews, You're putting Zionis in harm's fucking way.
New York Times, CNA and the rest of you fake
news fucks you. But they have the audacity. Hammas this
week had the audacity when this whole narrative is pumped
(40:11):
up to the gills. It's at the peak this starvation.
Israel is starving the people of Gaza. This narrative couldn't
be at a better, bigger point than right now. And
this just goes to Shohal devious and devilish and vicious
(40:32):
and brilliant the Hamas propaganda pr people are. When the
starvation narrative is at an all time high, what do
they do. They put out videos of two hostages that
have been in captivity for six hundred and sixty plus days,
(40:54):
actually starving. The whole world is going Israel is starving
the people of Gaza, and JR. Mosco goes, really, this
is great. Now we're gonna show you that we're starving
your hostages. They put out a video of hostages that
are emaciated, and nobody gives a shit. Is it on
(41:17):
the front page of the New York Times? Fuck no?
Will it be in the New York Times, It'll find
its way and there's not on the front page. Will
it be on every single Instagram page? Fuck no, except
for by us, the Jews and the Zionists and the
righteous people. This just goes so how sick these people are,
and you whoever falls for it. You're so fucking dumb.
(41:38):
You're so fucking dumb. The narrative that Israel is starving
people is at a peak, and Harmas goes, Huh, you
know what we're gonna do. We're gonna put out a
video of us actually starving Israel's hostages, and nobody's gonna
(41:59):
say shit. Israel has lost the pr war. The Jews
have lost the p R war. It's been a slaughter.
It has been a slaughter. We've gotten our asses kicked
in this p R war. We are fighting against the
bottom of the bottom. These animals don't think life starts
(42:22):
until they die. How can you fight people like that?
They don't think life starts until they die. Where they're
gonna get seventy two versions? This is who we're fighting.
They're waiting to go because life doesn't start until the afterlife.
This is what we're dealing with here. But I know
(42:42):
that you're feeling crazy. I know I'm feeling crazy. You
probably are going crazy because I feel like I'm going
crazy and I've only gone through a smidge of what
so many people have gone through who are living in Israel,
the hostages, the survivors, the hostage friends, the hostage families,
the idf the wounded, the worried. But we can't, we
can't give in. We have to continue to stay sane.
(43:06):
We have to continue to say focus. We have to
continue to stay centered, we have to continue to stay Jewish.
We have to continue to stay loud and proud. And
I said this before. A rabbi told me one of
the things that's stuck with me the most in the
last two years, since I've gotten closer, more in touch,
more in tuned with what it means to be a Jew.
(43:29):
He said, being Jewish is a participation sport. You can't
do it from the sidelines. And sometimes it's like, oh
another holiday, Oh another Shabbat, Oh another service. It's worth it.
Tour every day, it's worth it, rapping to fill in
every day. It's worth it. I don't care how you
do it, and I ain't no expert. I don't claim
(43:50):
to be an expert. I'm new to learning and understanding
all this. But being Jewish is a participation sport. You
got to be in it. You gotta be in it
to win it. And the more you participate, the more
it gives back to you. Do not let them dim
our light. We're not going anywhere. The Jews are not
going anywhere. Israel is not going anywhere. I'm israel Hi.

I love you anyway. I'm done. Miles Jeordane a k.

China Beach was a big show on ABC. Was a
big show. It was like a procedure, so it was
kind of like ER. It took place in a Vietnam hospital.
This is nineteen eighty nine or nineteen. This is nineteen ninety,
so it was like an ER show. You remember the
Er with George Coloney and Noah Wiley. And I got
called in to do an audition for China Beach. It
(00:24):
was my second audition, the second audition I ever did,
and it was like twelve lines on China Beach. And
I got called in because the casting director, like I said,
saw me doing comedy. And I went in an auditioned
to Warner Brothers, which was like, Yo, you're going on
the Warner Brothers a lot to do an audition, like
I'm going to be a star, Like you don't know,
(00:46):
I'm like bugging, like I'm tripping. I'm like I'm walking
in Warner Brothers and you're seeing like the signs and
the posters and you know, Batman and Jack Nicholson posters
and I remember and all that, and I wound up
getting the part on China Beach, which was starring Dana
Delaney at the time. Actress Dana Delaneyan. It was a
big show, and I was like, that's it. I'm a
(01:07):
fucking actor. I'm gonna be an actor and that is it.
And I cried when I got the part for China Beach.
I literally cried when I got the part for China Beach.

I finally found something that I might be good at.

Take a flick, chill for a minute. I'll be performing
this week in Alabama. Never thought I'd be saying that
(04:55):
I am performing in Alabama Tuesday, August fifth. I'm performing
in Jersey September twenty fifth, twenty six, twenty seventh at
the Stress Factory. Tickets for those shows and more shows.
I got a bunch of shows that I'm gonna put
on my website. They're all available at Michael Rapportcomedy dot
com Tri State area. Come see me in September, and
if you happen to be in Alabama, come see me
(05:16):
this week Birmingham Star Dome Comedy Club. But I got
to meet and greet a few people, did some three shows.
I did a show at the Improv, did a show
at the laugh Actor, and another show at the Improv,
and I love both those clubs. Obviously, you know the Improv.
I don't know if I've talked about it. I've talked
(05:36):
about it in the past. The Improv is like is
my club. That's my home club. No matter what other
places I perform at, no matter what other places I've
been to, that will always be my spot. I was
going there as a kid, as a teenager. My half
sister's stepfather was one of the owners of the Improv.
(05:57):
And in nineteen eighty three, probably around August of nineteen
eighty three, I had gotten kicked out of summer camp,
so I didn't have anything to do with My father
sent me to California to stay with my sister Claudia,
and she said, oh, you know, come to the club.
And I was like, I know what the hell she
was telling. I'm thirteen, I had a club. And she
(06:20):
took me to the Improv. And I went to the
Improv for the very first time in about August of
nineteen eighty three, and the same Improv, the same setup
for the most part. She took me in the back
of the club and I remember the first time I
was ever in a comedy club. The first person I
ever saw on a comedy club stage was Keenan Ivory Waynans.
(06:42):
Keenan Wayns was on the stage. Keenan had hair at
the time, and he had on camouflage pants and I
think a green shirt. And I remember that he had
on the camouflage pants because I remember he was doing
a TV show at the time, some sort of dram
or drama y and I remember recognizing him from the
(07:05):
show and you know, looking like he had the show
a wardrobe on. And I would spend so much time
there that summer, and then I would go back, you know,
Christmas time, holiday time, and go back in the summers.
And then I moved to California to live with my
(07:26):
sister and her mom, my half sister and her mom.
In nineteen eighty six, I went to Fairfax High School.
I went to Fairfax High School for a year because
I was in so much trouble every single year I
was getting kicked out of school and I had crazy
hoop dreams. I wanted to be in the NBA. And
I went to Fairfax High School and played on the
(07:46):
same bat well they were on the varsity, but we
played together. Sean Higgins, who played at Michigan their championship team,
Chris Mills, who had a great career in the NBA.
They were in the school and we played those are
my guys played with them all the time and the
rest of the basketball team. And would still always go
around the improv and I would see everybody performing there.
Everybody performing in the eighties at the improv. I mean
(08:09):
when I say everybody, I mean Jay Leno Young, Jerry Seinfeld,
Larry David when he had the hair, Joan Rivers, I mean,
Eddie Murphy would come in there. I never saw Eddie
Murphy on the stage. Every single time that Eddie Murphy
was performing at the og Original Improv on Melrose, I
would somehow miss it and I'd hear about the next day.
(08:30):
I'd be like, because Eddie Murphy was my I mean shit,
nineteen eighty five, eighty six, and Eddie Murphy was the
dude and there were no other dudes. It was just
Eddie Murphy's all like a rock star. It was like
Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Eddie Murphy like
he was literally in that category, like those were all
singers and then it was Eddie Murphy. He was that
(08:51):
big of a ginormous star at the time. And I mean,
like I said, Jay Leno, Garry Shandling would be in there,
Robert Townsend, who obviously went on to direct Hollywood Shuffle,
Our Senio Hall, who I've talked about a lot on
the podcast, and you know he babysat me and our
(09:12):
Senior Hall. I told the story before, but our Senior
Hall baby sat me, babysat me. It wasn't a baby,
it's like thirteen, fourteen years old. But he took me
to a Laker game. I went to a Laker game
in nineteen eighty shit, it might have been nineteen eighty
three that winter when I came back. And you know,
he was good friends with Magic Johnson, you know when
(09:33):
he did the Arsenio Hall show, Magic Johnson. You know,
we'd come on the show all the time. And he
took me to the Old Forum. Our Senior Hall took
me to the Old Forum. And I was with Jerry
Buss before the game and we were like in the
Forum club and we were at a dinner and literally
Muhammad Ali was eating next to him. I was eating
dinner with Muhammad Ali. I was bugging. I was out
(09:56):
of my mind, and we watched the game, and then
after the went in the locker room. It took me
in the locker room and I met Magic Johnson, met
Baron Scott, met Kareem Well, Kareem was, you know, kind
of to himself. But you know, I was like in
there the old forum, you know, with like the caged
lockers that you see like in all the highlights. I was.
I was in there. It was fucking crazy. Anyway, I
(10:19):
started doing comedy. I came back to California in eighty nine.
I started doing comedy. And when I started actually doing
comedy in nineteen eighty nine, they would put up like
you know, nobody's you know, they'd throw them up there
like different people and stuff like that. And I did
five minutes, and then I did ten minutes, and then
a couple of times after I you know, my first
(10:41):
few times I was doing comedy, I was on stage
and they were giving me like eight minutes or seven minutes.
I don't remember what the time was. It was ten
minutes or some shit. Like I had no act. I
just would talk a lot of shit. And the casting
director for TV show called China Beach, John Levy his
name was John Levy. He was there with his son,
(11:03):
and his son was like, you should put that guy
on China Beach. He's funny. And then I had an
agent at the time. I got an agent. What doesn't matter.
I could tell you how I got an agent, but anyway,
China Beach was a big show on ABC. Was a
big show. It was like a procedure, so it was
kind of like Er. It took place in a Vietnam hospital.
This is nineteen eighty nine or nineteen. This is nineteen ninety,
(11:27):
so it was like an ER show. You remember the
Er with George Coloney and Noah Wyley. And I got
called in to do an audition for China Beach. It
was my second audition, the second audition I ever did,
and it was like twelve lines on China Beach. And
I got called in because the casting director, like I said,
(11:48):
saw me doing comedy. And I went in an auditioned
to Warner Brothers, which was like, yo, you're going on
the Warner Brothers. A lot to do an audition, like
I'm going to be a star, Like you don't know,
I'm like bugging, like I'm tripping, I'm like I'm walking
in Warner Brothers and you're seeing like the signs and
the posters and you know, Batman and Jack Nicholson posters,
(12:09):
and I remember and all that, and I wound up
getting the part on China Beach, which was starring Dana
Delaney at the time, actress Dana Delaney, and it was
a big show and I was like, that's it. I'm
a fucking actor. I'm going to be an actor, and
that is it. And I cried when I got the
part for China Beach. I literally cried when I got
the part for China Beach. I could not believe it.
(12:31):
I was so relieved that I finally found something that
I might be good at, because, as I've talked about
in the past, so much, I wanted to be in
the NBA, and I was never as good as I
wanted to be. But when I got China Beach in
nineteen and just a relief that like maybe I had
a future as a young adult who could make a living.
(12:53):
And I, you know, a week or two later, I
was on the set of China Beach and I never
forget the act the Raymond Cruise, Raymond Cruz, who is
totally recognizable Raymond Cruz actor who was in Training Day.
He was in Better Call Saul, he was in Breaking Bad.
He was the gangster. He always plays gangsters and he's
(13:14):
such a nice dude. This dude Raymond Cruz, who you
totally recognize, he was in Training Day. He wasn't like
the main gangster in Training Day. At that scene with
Ethan Hawk, he was like the homewod was like, you
ever had your shit push? And he was like, I
had more shit push than Raymond. It was. Raymond was
also in China Beach and he had already acted a
little bit, but he kind of took me under his
wing and he had just started out, but he was
(13:35):
really cool with me. But Raymond Cruz, my man, was
in my first you know, show that I ever got
the opportunity to do. And every time I see him
him like China Beach and he's like China Beach. And
that was really, really, really crazy. But that was the
first role that I ever got. And whenever I'm performing
at the improv, none of those memories go away. I'm
always thinking about this or thinking about that, because, like
(13:57):
I said, the improv is still the same improv. It's
the same architecture, it's the same bar, it's a lot
of the same you know wood and it's the same setup.
And I spent so many nights at the Improv before
I was even thinking about being a comic, just wandering
around there like a thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old, sixteen
year old, just you know, hanging out. Really not I
(14:18):
wasn't even interested in comedy. Like I said, I wanted
to be in the NBA. But then when I you know, switched,
when I was about seventeen eighteen, I was like, I
want to be a comedy. I want to be the
next Eddie Murphy. I went from wanting to be in
the NBA to wanting to be the next Eddie Murphy.
It was like two fucking bad, bad dreams that I
never reached, but you know, it got me on track
and I wound up being the one and only disruptive
(14:39):
Warrior Michael Rappaport. But that's my story of how I
got China Beach, my very very second audition. I got
the part for China Beach at the Improv from doing
comedy and a crazy thing about China Beach. This is
a really bugged out part of China Beach and what
it meant to me, And this is a true story.
(15:00):
I was doing True Romance, which I believe was co
produced or co financed by Warner Brothers. I know it
wasn't a complete Warner Brothers film, but it was like
co financer, co produced by Warner Brothers. We were shooting
the scene when I got the part. Dick Ritchie got
(15:20):
the part in True Romance to be on TJ. Hooker.
It was brad Pick Christian Slater's Patricia Sharket in that scene.
I think she's in that scene, but I know it's
brad Pick Christian Slater. I'm pretty sure Patrica Sharquz in
the scene. We're on the set and you know, there's
all these movie posters on the set for the apartment
(15:40):
of Dick Ritchie and Floyd and in between takes, I'm
sifting through like the set and there's like scripts and
all that stuff, and I see scripts for China Beach
and I'm shooting the scene in True Romance where Dick
Richie gets his first part for TJ Hooker and God
is Witness. I'm seeing stacks of scripts first China Beach,
(16:03):
and I'm going through them, going through them, going through them,
and I found my script for my episode of China
Beach while we were shooting that scene in True Romance,
and I remember showing it to Tony Scott, and Tony
Scott may his memory be a blessing, was such a
great director and so encouraging to me and got such
(16:26):
a kick out of all the shit that I didn't
know what I was doing. But he was so like,
keep doing that, don't do that, keep asking. I remember
he kept saying, keep asking questions, kid, and he had
his actions and keep asking questions, kid, and it was
so encouraging as a young actor. But I remember I
was like, Yo, this is the episode of China Beach
that I did my first first role that I ever got,
(16:48):
which was crazy because I was playing Dick Ritchie and
it was like his first role that he ever got
in TJ. Hooker. But I'll never ever ever forget that.
I'll never ever forget those times and those memories and
those opportunities because it's like when I see that guy
Raymond Cruse, the act of Raymond Cruz who I mentioned,
you know, it's like we went through something together, although
(17:10):
it wasn't his first thing, it's like you remember those
special times when you're first starting out, when you're starting
to accomplish your dreams and your goals, they're so vivid
and so rich, and there was no cameras, there's no selfies,
there's no you know, yo, I'm on the set. It's
just like etched in your brain. Things you can never forget. Podcast.
(17:44):
I was thinking earlier, I'm trying to come up with
the great nickname for Candice Owens. You know, I'm iconic
for my nicknames. Obviously, Dick Sating, Donald Trump picked at
Donald Trump, lebron blames. So many great nicknames. There's I'm
forgetting a few. I am for Candaver Joe Biden, that's
(18:05):
one of my favorites. Smoking Joe Biden also a good one.
I know, I'm forgetting a few other nicknames. I've come
up with a few dandies, Bill Belichiet, although you know
that was I might not have come up with that,
but I might have. Of course, I come up with
the Raging Bullshitter, Gingo man Dingo, a Sultan of sniff.
(18:25):
You guys have also helped me with the nicknames, some
of those I've came up with, and people like wait wait,
I came up with that you probably did, of course,
mister New York, the White Chocolate Tito, the Jewish Jay Glamata,
the Charles Oakley of the Jews. They're just name after
name after name after name after name. But I was thinking,
was like, I need to come up with a nickname
for Candace Owens. And obviously the first thing that came
(18:48):
to mind was cunty Candace Owns. But you can't. You
can't use that. That doesn't have any crossover appeal, doesn't
have a curb side appeal. County Candace Owens. I wish
it did, and then I could say Kookie Candas Owns.
But kookie doesn't really describe Candas Owns. She's way more
(19:08):
than Kokie. So if you have any nicknames for Candis Owns,
please let me know. Like I said, County Candis Owns.
It's just it's limiting, can't use that. I like to
take my nicknames, you know, broad wide. I like to
take them out there. Kokie Canis Owns. Again, I think
Candas Owns. She's definitely Kookie. But that's like, you know,
(19:29):
like I put that in the top twenty things that
I think about Candis Owns. But Candace Owens who again,
if you have any nicknames, let me know. She finally
had her wet dream interview opportunity. Candace Owens finally got
what she wanted to sit down with convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein,
(19:57):
who I could go into a whole bunch of other
stories about my movies and experiences at Mirmax, but I'll
save that for another time because I just, you know,
was talking about true romance. I was just talking about,
you know, being on China Beach and so forth and
so on. But we all know Harvey Weinstein and Candace Owens,
(20:18):
who again, she just it's just Candice. There's a nickname there.
There's a nickname there. Haven't haven't come up with it.
Haven't come up with it. But Candice Owens finally got
what she wanted on her hunt, on her hunt for
all things Jewish to bring every single Jew, Zionist and
Israel to their knees. She got to interview Harvey Weinstein
(20:41):
from jail. Convicted rapists, convicted, certified piece of shit, Harvey Weinstein,
who don't get it twisted. During his reign at Miramex,
he was the head of the head of the head
of the head of all the Jews in Hollywood. If
(21:02):
there's any Jew in Hollywood that ran Hollywood, it was
Harvey fucking Weinstein and this fucking dog, this little rat.
Candisons who Candisones, do you have any idea the disrespect
that Harvey Weinstein would have treated you with if he
(21:23):
had an opportunity to treat you with that disrespect during
his run as president of Miramx. Candisons, do you have
any idea the type of piece of shit Harvey Weinstein
would have treated you like if you worked for him,
if you were an intern for him, or if you
were an actress for him, or he came across you,
(21:45):
he would have treated you like shit. He would have
been so fucking disrespectful and rude to you, candas Oons,
if he had the opportunity during his run at Miramax.
But Caniszones, I don't know. She probably jumped through hoops
and signed away this, that and the third probably signed
(22:06):
away all of her kids to sit down with this
interview with Harvey Winson. She was just like literally orgasmic,
and she sat down with Harvey Weinstein and she's asking
him this and asking him that, and saying that she
feels like he got railroaded, and Cannisones begged Harvey Weinstein
for some big reveal. She begged him, Harvey, Harvey, can
(22:28):
you tell me what do you think happened to you?
Do you think you were railroaded? Do you think you
had gotten an argument with somebody? Did you step on
somebody's toes? Harvey? And Harvey Weinstein is as desperate as
anybody could be. Harvey Weinston's got to be like seventy
years old. Harvey Weinstein's been in jail for a bunch
of years now. Harvey Weinstein looks sick. He's been in
and out of the hospital, walling jail. Who the fuck
(22:49):
knows what Harvey Weinstein has had to deal with while
in prison. Harvey Weinsteon is He's as desperate as you
could possibly get. And Cannisones was just asking him, She
was begging. It was like she was looking for this,
like she was gonna come all over herself. She was
just gonna She was elated, elated to sit there and say, Harvey,
(23:09):
who do you think it is? Who do you think
it is that brought you down? Do you think you
you kind of an argument? Did you step on anybody's sows,
and even Harvey Weinstein, that is most vulnerable, most desperate,
didn't give you the answer you need, You dumb fuck
Candace Owens. This is like Haraldo Rivera breaking into al
Capone's safe Candace Owens interview with Harvey Weinstein on her
(23:31):
quest to take down all things Jews control Hollywood, Zionist state,
the Masad runs every single thing in the world. This
was her al Capone Graldo Rivera moment. She sat there
with Harvey Weinstein, and Harvey Weinstein, desperate as he is,
got nothing for you. Even Harvey Weinstein didn't give you
(23:51):
the answer you want. And you were talking to the
head of the cabal. You were talking to the head
of the cabal. Harvey Weinstein has all the sixts, and
even here who do anything to get out of jail,
couldn't give you the fucking answer you want. Candice, your
fucking loser, and candas like interesting, very interesting, you fucking lowlife.
(24:12):
Candice Owens wan a fucking low life you want. Please,
if anybody has any nickname ideas that I could bring
to the mainstream, please let me know, because I haven't
come up with that certain special nickname that really captures.
What a low life, miserable, no good two bit piece
(24:36):
of shit. Candace Owens is you are a no good
loan life miserable. I was laughing what she's like, Harvey,
do you think what do you got? Harvey? Harvey would
do anything to get out of prison. And even Harvey
Weinstein didn't give you the answers you want. Candice owns,
you fucking creep you creepy Candace owns, still doesn't creepy
(24:59):
Kookie can owns. That's the creepy. I put like, top
fifteen things that Candice owns is Kookie Candas owns. I
put the in the top twenty things that Candis Owans
in obviously County Canvas owns. But I need something a
little bit more g rated. What else is going on?
(25:20):
You know, MTNA, Be totally honest. I've tried to pace
myself with the amount of time I spend talking about
the fact that it is now six hundred and seventy days.
We're almost at twenty one months, twenty one months, twenty
one months, almost two years since the violent, vicious terrorist
(25:49):
attack took place on October seventh, twenty twenty three, in
Israel by Hamas and a lot of innocent civilians. You
could watch the footage. The majority of the people that
you see in the footage from October seventh running around Israel, looting, killing, burning,
(26:11):
or a lot of the people, I'll say a lot
of the people were not wearing uniforms. They were in
civilian clothes. Watch the footage if you have forgotten. I
really think they need to put that forty eight minutes
of footage that I watched with my own eyes. I
would love it to be on HBO, New York Times YouTube.
(26:32):
There's got to be a place where that footage could live.
I watched that forty eight minutes what I could watch
of it. It was disgusting, that forty eight minutes of
footage from October seventh and saw things I never thought
I would see in my life. And of course, that
forty eight minutes of footage that I watched from October
seventh was shot in beautiful four K by the terrorists themselves.
(26:56):
They shot themselves, they videotaped themselves proudly on October seventh.
They didn't hide it. They didn't hide it like the
Nazis tried to do. That's why we can't refer to
Hamas as Nazis. Hamass Hamas the Nazis are the Nazis.
The Nazis. At least they had the decency to try
to hide their footage, but no Hamas. On October seventh,
(27:19):
they shot, videotaped themselves and posted it in real time.
They were streaming it live and posted it proudly. And
in that forty eight minutes of footage, I I saw screaming, yelling, excitement, elation.
I saw beheading. I saw with my own eyes. You
could look it up on X. It's blurred out, but
(27:40):
I saw it in four k unblurred out people being
shot in cold blood, smack kicked, stabbed, dead bodies, being kicked, punted,
fucking stomped on dead bodies. I saw with my own eyes.
You could look it up if you want to see it.
(28:01):
I heard and saw people screaming and yelling Alla walkbar,
Allah walk bar, calling their mom, I killed ten Jews
with my bare hands, Mom, I killed ten Jews with
my bare hands. Mom. You sick at that's what you
call to tell your mother that you killed ten Jews
(28:22):
with your bare hands, You fucking animals. I will tell
you that. In that forty eight minutes of footage, and
forty eight minutes is a long time. I did not
hear one of these people say from the River to
the sea, Palestine will be free. I didn't hear any
of them talk about nineteen forty eight. I didn't hear
any of them talk about genocide. I didn't hear them
(28:42):
talk about apartheid. I heard no one say Palestine will
be free. I heard none of that. You show me
some footage of October seven of them them saying apartheid,
Palestine will be free, or from the River to the sea.
You showed me that footage. It doesn't exist because they
weren't saying they're on a different plane. They ain't thinking
(29:04):
about what you're thinking about at your rally at Cornell, Columbia,
Times Square, at the park in Portland, or in Minnesota,
wherever the fuck you're at. Watch the footage. They need
to put that footage out so everybody could see it
in four K. Gorgeous four K. We were in four K.
(29:26):
You could see, you know what blood looks like, real
blood looks like. In four K. It's it's surreal looking
to see that kind of violence perpetuated. But they shot
that footage themselves on October seventh, and they put it
out in real time, they streamed it live. They put
it out as it was happening, proudly like it was
(29:47):
their student film that they were showing their professor, or
it was like the Sundance Film Festival, it was the
Slaughter Jew Film festil they put it out. They were
so elated and proud of what they were doing, what
they were showing the world on October seventh. And we're
now twenty one months later, and there has been so
(30:08):
many pieces of fake news that have been retracted and
retracted and retracted. And I'm going to tell you something,
and I'm gonna say this, Israel is not perfect. The
Jews are not perfect. Israel is not a perfect state.
The United States of America is not perfect. New York City,
where I am right now, it is not perfect. I
(30:29):
am not perfect. Wherever you live is not perfect. Your
government isn't perfect. Canadian government isn't perfect. Whatever state you're
from isn't perfect. Your mom's not perfect, your father's not perfect.
My mother's not perfect, father is not perfect, My wife
isn't perfect. Sorry, babe. Nobody is perfect, No government is perfect,
no country is perfect. Israel is an imperfect country. And yes,
(30:54):
you can complain, be frustrated with all things Israel. All
you want Israel do it and have done it every
single day. Israelis have been protesting the government of Israel
for years in droves. Thousands and thousands and thousands and
thousands and thousands and thousands of people come out and
(31:17):
have come out, and they're gonna continue to come out
because it's a democracy. What's not a democracy is Gaza.
Gaza is not a democracy, it's a terrorist ran state.
No one argues that, and somehow someway this week when
like I said, I'm trying to like pace myself. I'm
(31:39):
trying to make sure I diversify what I share on
the on the podcast, I'm trying to diversify what I
download and my intake because it's been so hard, it's
been so frustrating, it's been so demoralizing, it's been so overwhelming.
It's been so surreal to look and see that twenty
one months later, six hundred and seventy days, almost two
(31:59):
years later, there are there's still fifty hostages in Kaza,
and of course this is a war. It's messy. Israel
has fucked up. There has been mistakes made, there has
been investigations, there have been prices that have been paid
for soldiers who have broken conduct, and so forth and
so on. But Israel has gone and done every single
(32:20):
thing they could possibly do to try to fight this
war that we did not want, that Israel did not want,
that the Jews did not want, that the world did
not want, as humanely as possible. They've done every single
thing they possibly can to be perfect. And I'll tell
(32:41):
you something. The Jews are chosen. We the Jewish people
are chosen. I know, I know a lot of people
get upset when I say that. It's in the Tora.
I didn't make this shit up. If I made it up,
you think I would be podcasting right now. If I
was as brilliant to be the one that said the
Jews are chosen, you think I would be podcasting right now.
(33:02):
I'd be sitting owning buildings somewhere. It's in the fucking tour.
The Jews aren't the chosen people. I didn't make it up.
There's plenty of other people, namely Husham, that you could
take it up with. The Jews are chosen, but we're
not perfect. No one ever said the Jews are perfect.
(33:23):
Most importantly, the Jews never said that we are perfect.
Why we are held to unattainable standards of perfection more
than any other race religion in the history of race
religions is beyond me. We're chosen, but we're not perfect.
(33:43):
We'll be the first to tell you we ain't perfect.
Israel ain't perfect, and we never said we were, and
Israel never said it was. Podcast But like I said,
(34:12):
I have been trying to pace myself. I think everybody's
trying to pace themselves. But it is like the ginormous
elephant in the room that fifty hostages are still in captivity.
Fifty hostages are still in captivity. We are at twenty
one months, it is almost two years. October seventh, twenty
(34:36):
twenty five is right around the corner. Unless there's a
fucking miracle, these hostages are going to still be in
there two years later. And the amount of heartbreak, frustration,
the amount of true blue terror, the amount of anxiety
(34:58):
that Israel has been put through, And again I'll say
this again, Israel is not perfect. Israel has not fought
this war perfectly. They know it, they say it, They
take accountability They've done everything they can to try to
fight this war as humanly as possible. It's war. The
(35:20):
fuck do you think happens in the NFL offense defense
in the trenches? You think it's all hunky dory, Nate,
what do you think war's like. It's messy, it's dirty,
it's horrible. Israel didn't start this war, but we're heading
into twenty one months. There fifty hostages, two of whom
are American. Fifty hostages. And in the last two weeks
(35:43):
there has been so much fake news, mainly from the
New York Times, The New York Times close. How is
the New York Times the most well known name in news.
When you think of Nike, you think of sneakers, you
think of Coca Cola, you think of soda, you think
of news, you think of the New York Times. This
is the The brand of the New York Times is
(36:04):
as well known as any other brand in all of
the branded market, all of brands, certainly in news. New
York Times is the they got a font, They got
their own fucking font. Shut that fucking shit, hold down.
And when Trump said New York Times, the failing New
York Times, fake news, New York Times. I was like,
(36:25):
this guy's a player hater. I was uninformed. I woke up.
I'm fully woke. I am fully woke. Trump was right.
The New York Times is fake, fake shit, dog shit biased,
bullshit news. I want somebody to let me know how
many retractions, how many retractions has the New York Times
(36:47):
made in regards to crimes perpetuated by Israel and the
IDF since October seventh. Someone please let me know how
many tracks, says the New York Times made, And then
let me know how many retractions has The New York
Times made about crimes rapes, arsons, murders, kidnapping that The
(37:11):
New York Times has made regarding Hamas. Let me know, someone,
please let me know. There's got to be a way
to fact check that. I don't fact check at the
Iron Wrap port Stereo podcast, and I'm not going to
go into the details of all the food and the
hunger issues. Israel has not been perfect. They know that
they have taken responsibility. But the UN the world do
(37:36):
the United States? Remember when Biden set up that fucking
doc that port. I think it was three hundred and
sixty five million dollars that everybody has gone out of
their way to try to feed the people, the innocent
people of God. The United States has, Israel has, the
UN has. The UN sucks. Talk about another failing. But
these are two buildings in New York. The New York
(37:58):
Times building and the UN should be shut down down.
Shut those fucking piss hole corrupt buildings down. It would
be so great. The New York Times practice facility. James
Dolan by that building where The New York Times is
right now, set up a practice facility there. So the
(38:20):
New York Knickerbockers can live in New York City. That
could be the New York Knicks practice facility. The Knicks
will practice in Manhattan, live in Manhattan. They could walk
to the games. That shit would be dope. Or do
it at the UN. You can open up a hockey
New York Rangers slash New York Knicks practice facility at
the UN. They need to close the UN, They need
(38:43):
to close the New York Times. These are corrupt, rotten
to the core places. But there has been so much misinformation,
false information skewed when the entire world has tried to
feed humanly, the innocent civilia of Gaza and for some reason,
(39:03):
and it's everybody's fault. Let's just say it's everybody's fault.
It's Israel's fault, to United States fault, it's London's fault,
it's France's fault, it's Canada's fault, it's everybody's fault. There's
there's some reason they can't get fed properly and consistently.
But when there's this whole fake starvation, intentional starvation narrative
(39:24):
being put out and retracted, put out and then retracted,
but the damage is already done. You put it out,
you're attracted, the damage is already done, and you're putting
Jews and Zionists in harm's way. Because if Jews and
Zionists support an apartheid, a genocidal state like Israel who's
(39:48):
starving people, what do you think happens when the world
sees Jews and Zionists in real life. You're putting me,
You're putting Jews, You're putting Zionis in harm's fucking way.
New York Times, CNA and the rest of you fake
news fucks you. But they have the audacity. Hammas this
week had the audacity when this whole narrative is pumped
(40:11):
up to the gills. It's at the peak this starvation.
Israel is starving the people of Gaza. This narrative couldn't
be at a better, bigger point than right now. And
this just goes to Shohal devious and devilish and vicious
(40:32):
and brilliant the Hamas propaganda pr people are. When the
starvation narrative is at an all time high, what do
they do. They put out videos of two hostages that
have been in captivity for six hundred and sixty plus days,
(40:54):
actually starving. The whole world is going Israel is starving
the people of Gaza, and JR. Mosco goes, really, this
is great. Now we're gonna show you that we're starving
your hostages. They put out a video of hostages that
are emaciated, and nobody gives a shit. Is it on
(41:17):
the front page of the New York Times? Fuck no?
Will it be in the New York Times, It'll find
its way and there's not on the front page. Will
it be on every single Instagram page? Fuck no, except
for by us, the Jews and the Zionists and the
righteous people. This just goes so how sick these people are,
and you whoever falls for it. You're so fucking dumb.
(41:38):
You're so fucking dumb. The narrative that Israel is starving
people is at a peak, and Harmas goes, Huh, you
know what we're gonna do. We're gonna put out a
video of us actually starving Israel's hostages, and nobody's gonna
(41:59):
say shit. Israel has lost the pr war. The Jews
have lost the p R war. It's been a slaughter.
It has been a slaughter. We've gotten our asses kicked
in this p R war. We are fighting against the
bottom of the bottom. These animals don't think life starts
(42:22):
until they die. How can you fight people like that?
They don't think life starts until they die. Where they're
gonna get seventy two versions? This is who we're fighting.
They're waiting to go because life doesn't start until the afterlife.
This is what we're dealing with here. But I know
(42:42):
that you're feeling crazy. I know I'm feeling crazy. You
probably are going crazy because I feel like I'm going
crazy and I've only gone through a smidge of what
so many people have gone through who are living in Israel,
the hostages, the survivors, the hostage friends, the hostage families,
the idf the wounded, the worried. But we can't, we
can't give in. We have to continue to stay sane.
(43:06):
We have to continue to say focus. We have to
continue to stay centered, we have to continue to stay Jewish.
We have to continue to stay loud and proud. And
I said this before. A rabbi told me one of
the things that's stuck with me the most in the
last two years, since I've gotten closer, more in touch,
more in tuned with what it means to be a Jew.
(43:29):
He said, being Jewish is a participation sport. You can't
do it from the sidelines. And sometimes it's like, oh
another holiday, Oh another Shabbat, Oh another service. It's worth it.
Tour every day, it's worth it, rapping to fill in
every day. It's worth it. I don't care how you
do it, and I ain't no expert. I don't claim
(43:50):
to be an expert. I'm new to learning and understanding
all this. But being Jewish is a participation sport. You
got to be in it. You gotta be in it
to win it. And the more you participate, the more
it gives back to you. Do not let them dim
our light. We're not going anywhere. The Jews are not
going anywhere. Israel is not going anywhere. I'm israel Hi.
(44:14):
I love you anyway. I'm done. Miles Jeordane a k.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
