(00:00):
Yesterday we have we had these protests. Benjamindatniae, who spoke to Congress,
I know a lot of people werelike, Kamala Harris wasn't there, she
was doing campaign events, blah blahblah. It's like, okay, I'm
like, I'm totally hearing that.But it was already previously scheduled, Ben
mineaw, I was gonna have oneon ones with Harris, with Biden,
with Donald Trump, and that's happeninglike today and tomorrow. But while Benjamin

(00:20):
Dtiae, who of Israel is intown, a lot of people were going
crazy and destroying a bunch of stuff. You see some of the pictures of
like what the vandalization in New Yorkand Washington, DC looked like, yeah,
it's awful. Like again, Ihave to ask, and pardon me
for being so frank about this,what kind of person is going to change
their mind? Who was opposed toHamas or didn't have a strong opinion about

(00:41):
the Israel thing, which again I'msure people already do at this point.
But a neutral person with neutral personwould watch that kind of vandalization and that
kind of behavior and all of asudden think those are the good guys like
the pro Palestinian people are the goodguys after that, Isn't that like the
worst type of protesting you could possiblydo is actually chasing people away from your
cause. I did my eye atad show earlier this morning, had a

(01:03):
person text in on the text linebecause that's kind of like they don't email
me, they text into a stationtext line, and they were just like,
sounds like you also wouldn't be infavor of like the Civil Rights movement
protests in like the fifties and sixties, because those were protests. But here's
there are many differences, and I'mgeneralizing on both sides here, not to
say that there are peaceful, nonviolentpro Palestinian protesters that truly just want there

(01:26):
to be a ceasefire and for thefighting the stop. I'm sure there are
people like that that have not vandalizedproperty. I'm also very sure the Civil
Rights movement there were people who violentlywere protesting Jim Crow laws in southern United
States, and also people around thecountry that would protest not being served in

(01:47):
more violent or vandalizing ways. Theseare two completely different styles of protests,
and this is what I'll say foranybody who thinks that it's okay to vandalize
property to get what you want.When has that ever happened in American history?
Like, Hey, just keep destroyingour statues, keep destroying our monuments,
keep destroying our parks, keep destroyingpublic property, and you know what,
we'll actually reward you for that downthe line. That's an entirely terrible

(02:10):
precedent to do that. Most ofwhat the Civil rights movement was the most
common protests that happened was the nonviolentsit ins for the segregated businesses that you
know, wouldn't allow African Americans orpeople of color to be patrons of.
And a large group of African Americansor people of color would walk in all
together and sit down. They wouldn'tsay anything, they wouldn't do anything,

(02:35):
they would just sit down, andthen, of course, because of the
Jim Crow laws, they would bearrested. Those sit ins being peacefully done,
allowed all of America to see peoplein our country a problem our country
was having, and they were ableto see that these people just for being
people and sitting into these restaurants orthese places of business were being arrested and
carried out because they were sitting downin a place that they were not allowed

(02:59):
to be just because of the waythat they looked. The laws eventually got
changed. Yes there were marches,and yes there were people, you know,
like chanting and cheering. Yes therewere people trying to be disruptors of
a kind. But they weren't spraypainting monuments. They weren't defacing statues.
More often than not, the peopleburning American flags were people protesting the Vietnam

(03:20):
War than people who were protesting theCivil rights movement. Okay, yesterday I
was watching people burning the American flag. I was watching people spray painting a
replica of the Liberty Bell in Washington, DC, defacing a ton of different
National Park type monuments in a veryimportant and beautiful city. Washington, d
C. Is an absolute gem ofa city. I will listen to anybody

(03:44):
otherwise who wants to get meddled upwith the politics. Every time I visited
Washington, DC, I've absolutely adoredit. It has been such a great
time. Every time I've been there, I would not have wanted to be
there this week. I will makethat very clear. But these are people
protesting a war the United States doesn'thave direct involvement in there. Are no
troops from the United States on theground. Yes, the United States has
an alliance with Israel, as domany other democratic countries around the world,

(04:10):
countries that you know have free elections, NATO countries who are supporting Israel in
the Middle East have supported Israel fordecades in the Middle East. And you
have people in our country protesting onour land with our monuments. Most of
these people are our people speaking onbehalf of people that are halfway across the
world and involved in a war thatwe have very minimal say in how it

(04:31):
works. If it was up tous, this thing would have ended months
ago. Okay, one way orthe other. But Israel will do what
Israel wants to do, as willHamas, as will Iran and their proxies.
That is a war they are fightingand we are not directly involved in.
Yes, we are supporting Israel.We haven't sent troops, we haven't
sent people. Yeah, we're callingthe terrorists terrorists. That makes us bad.

(04:54):
So people are protesting our government andour government's relationship with a terrorist group
attacking our allies, and they're defacingour property thinking that that's somehow going to
change our government stance on something we'renot directly involved in, not even close
to the same thing. So yes, the Civil rights movement a problem in
this nation that needed to be rectified. And those protests, especially the nonviolent

(05:16):
sit in protests, that gave peoplea really good idea of oh wow,
these people really are just getting arrestedfor what they look like. That changed
the narrative of what this country feltlike in the civil rights movement. Many
things changed in a very short amountof time. We still have a long
way to go, but things aremuch better in race relation to this country
now than they were in the nineteenfifties and sixties when that stuff was going
on. Those protests made a bigdifference. Who in this country is changing

(05:40):
their mind to be pro Palestinian bywatching these guys spray paint national monuments in
Washington, DC, burning American flags? Somebody tell me what that's accomplishing and
what the American government is going todo. Because these people are defacing all
of this stuff on our land becauseof a conflict we're not directly involved.
Doesn't make a darn bit, asyou can call in a four H two

(06:00):
five five eight eleven ten. FourH two five five eight eleven ten We'll
take your calls coming to next newsRadio eleven ten Kfab and Maurice Soner on
news Radio eleven ten Kfab the vandalismhappening in Washington, DC with the a
visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nettand Yahoo this week. Mike's on the
phone line of four oh two fivefive eight eleven ten Mike, what do

(06:21):
you think about this? You knowwhat I'd like to see. I'd like
to see the FBI, those wonderfulfolks in DC use the same bigger and
their facial recognition software to go afterthese people who are looking up at the
camera, whether spray painting these monuments, has been doing it all all around
this country, and go after themwith the same force that they went after

(06:43):
people who were you know, someof them were violent, some of them
were peacefully walking around J six.Do they miss us in three years?
No? But I think they needto throw the hammer at this the thing.
You know what, We're not goingto tolerate this crap. Do you
want to hold your sign? Fine? Yeah, once that paint comes out
of that first rockets thrown yep.I mean this latest thing from yesterday,
they were all looking at the camera. All you had to do is get
one, two or three of themand they got the facial recognition software.

(07:06):
That's not the track and all thesepeople from six two years later. Yeah.
And here's the other thing, Mike, what you're talking about is when
he said, right, there's there'sgot to be consequences for this, otherwise
it's just going to keep happening.I mean the funny part about the horrendous,
but I mean the funny part aboutthis. A lot of the people
that are protesting. You see thesigns, you know, for good women,
for guys that they would be secondand third class citizens over there in

(07:27):
Kadza. Oh yeah, oh yeah, No, that's the that's the biggest
argument against this whole thing is like, hey, go ahead with the way
that you guys are dressing or theway that you like to behave and go
to Gaza for like one day andsee how you're treated there, no matter
what you're sign you're holding, orwhat scarf that you bought. You know,
the next thing that's going to probablyput an higher in the American public
is when this thing does come toan end, and eventually, will you

(07:50):
know, all things do come toan end. And all of a sudden,
all the politicians in DC are goingto say, oh, now we
got to spend four billion dollars torebuild Godza. Yeah, you know what's
going to happen. Yeah, youknow it's going to happen. Yeah,
it'd be like, oh, well, you know, we owe it to
him. One thing at a time, Mike, please, one thing at
a time. My brain hurts already. Please on Thursday. Yeah, all

(08:13):
right, thanks Mike Seater. Jim'son line. Jim, thank you for
calling in. What's on your mind? Yes, sir, I've said I've
called you before. And I'm nota huge Trump supporter, although I am
a Republican. But what I reallyI hear all these things, all these
news networks talking about all the greatthings that Joe Biden has done, and
as far as my light and myfinancial situation, I don't see where he's

(08:37):
done really anything for me. Sowhat I would really like is someone who
could actually break down his accomplishment andand put him in the terms of how
they've affected people. Yeah, andJim, Jim, that's that's that's a
good point. Unfortunately, Jim,there's no way you're ever going to hear
that and it's not because they won'ttell you, because they'll try to tell

(09:00):
you in vegadies and all that stuff. But what it's going to depend on
who's telling you the accomplishments. Becauseif I went online and I said those
things, I would say this hasdone nothing. This has done nothing for
me in my life. That's howI'm gonna see it. And there's gonna
be people that are in California orNew York or Illinois, or people that
had student loans forgiven and all thisstuff that will list off a bunch of

(09:22):
stuff that may not affect you,but it would be a total list of
all this stuff that they think thathe has accomplished. So I think it's
just there's so many people along thespectrum with completely different principles, and I
don't think there's a really good wayto get a completely straight answer about what
a president has done. You justhave to kind of make that determination for
yourself. And much like you,Jim, people like us, people in

(09:43):
the Midwest, especially that are youknow, I think, age thirty or
above and are living on their ownand trying to make it in this world,
not generally having a good go ofit. During the Biden administration,
and there's just not a whole lotto be celebrating. I don't think I
agree with you, but you don'tknow what I mean. There has to
be someone that listens to you,that disagrees with us, that can try

(10:03):
and make the point. Sure.Yeah, and I'm sure that we'll have
those guys call in if I cansummon them and get them on the show
and have them explain that. ButI just am afraid that we're going to
have a hard time fact checking thoseyou know what I'm saying, It's going
to be hard to believe everything thatyou're hearing from somebody who's so partisaned in
favor of the president. Yeah,I just would like to know in you

(10:24):
know, in all honestly, I'dlike an assessment of his accomplishments. Jim,
I'll work on that and see ifwe can't figure out a way to
do that in a delicate manner.Thanks so much for calling in. Thank
you. Yep, let's go toJohnny. Speaking of Johnny, Hey,
welcome to the show. What's onyour mind today? Hey, thanks for
taking my call. You were talkingto the vandalism. I just wanted to

(10:46):
throw this out there. I mean, no matter what your political opinion is,
there's no need for violence, there'sno need for vandalism. Really,
all you have to do is,you know, write your city council,
senator or representative or whatever. Vote, get out and be actor of get
people to vote, you know,and if you do feel like doing artwork
or something, maybe you should beusing something that's easily washed off, like

(11:07):
maybe sidewalk chop or something. Youknow. I don't know, but personally,
I think if you want a statueremoved, you need to take the
rights types to go and have itremoved. It doesn't belong out in the
street or out in public. Maybeit belongs in a museum at this point
in time in history or whatever.You know. So as far as vandali
things, it doesn't really help anybody. I'm making that much of a difference.

(11:28):
I mean, yeah, draws attentionto the issue, but you can't
make these arguments anymore in this dayand age, you know. I mean
people would say, oh, lookat the tea party. You know,
they are going up against England andstuff, throwing the tea or whatever in
the water. Okay, what doyou do now? There's just no more
of that, no more violence.All you have to do is vote and
call your representative or contact them,email them, send them a letter,

(11:50):
so there's no point in destroying property. Wow, Johnny, well, thank
you for the call. This isprobably the most we've ever agreed with each
other. Thank you for listening.Have a good day you too. There
you go. You just never know. You never know sometimes the people you
disagree with the most. And Johnnyand I have had our disagreements called in
and it's right on right on topof me. The thing about the tea

(12:11):
Party again, he mentioned the teaParty. It's a different age obviously,
but at the same time that wasright out in front of what was going
to be the American Revolution. Thepeople of the American colonies were being taxed
on tea specifically, among some otherthings. They were being taxed specifically on
that, and they had absolutely norepresentation back in Great Britain. Are the

(12:31):
people who were taxing them? Notaxation without representation. That kind of thing,
right, pretty important stuff to protestagainst because it directly affected them in
their lives, And again was alead up and run up to a legitimate
eight year long American Revolution war foughtagainst. At the time, the most
powerful army on planet. Right,Well, we're talking about these people who

(12:52):
are vandalizing Washington, DC with thispro Palestinian, anti Israel stuff. This
doesn't even directly affect the United States. It is all in response to the
leader of one of the countries directlyinvolved visiting the United States. Mind boggling
for twenty eight we'll come back.I got another kind of social type question
for you to mole over, andwe'll talk more about the news as the

(13:16):
show rolls on on news Radio eleventen Kfab. Em Rys Songer on news
Radio eleven ten Kfab. I'm notgoing to rule out that there might not
be somebody funding some of these groupsthat are going out there and doing that
sort of thing. But I justmy understanding is a lot of these people
are just kind of doing this becauseit makes them feel better about themselves and
they want to be a part ofthis in kind of crowd, much like

(13:39):
the hippie movement kind of was agrassroots movement where people you know, started
to do hippie like things in differentparts of the country and people just want
to kind of be like them becausethat was the rebellion nature of it.
Right. I was an emo kidfor the most part. Like I like
sports and all this stuff. SoI wasn't really an emo kid, but
I like to kind of dress likean emo kid. I didn't have the
eyeline or anything like that, butyou know where the jeans wear, the

(14:01):
dark colored shirts and all this stuff. Yeah, you just kind of want
to be rebellious and whatever the thingis that's going on at the time.
And you know, for a lotof these people, they decide, oh,
yeah, there's so many of us, how are they going to catch
us all when we' vanalyzed this property. You got to find a way to
catch them. You got to finda way to make it hurt consequentially for
them. Otherwise more and more peopleare going to follow their lead and do

(14:24):
exactly what they're doing and be reallybad for whatever city that that's happening in.
Speaking of Kamala Harrisey, as youheard of, the News has basically
agreed to the aforementioned September date forthe debate on ABC News between her and
Donald Trump. We will see ifthere's an additional one that it would be
then added in that scenario, becauseyou kind of just throw the first one

(14:46):
out, because I mean even thoughpolicy wise things are going to change.
For the most part, both peopleseemingly want to do both things. You
know that both people seem to wantto do maybe potentially multiple of and we'll
have to see how different Donald Trumpgoing against somebody who's fully coherent is in

(15:07):
regards to that versus going up againsta guy like Biden who's having those issues
that he's having.
