Israel continues its bombing campaign while simultaneously claiming therefore the ceasefire.
Do they know what ceasefire means? Will get perspective from
the Palestinian American community as the blood continues to spill
in the Holy Land. Plus, a white German woman is
seeking political asylum in the United States due to her
pro West, anti immigration views.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
She's with us this hour.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Tuesday's election Day, We'll hit the campaign trail in a
battleground contest, will cover the Fed's latest interest rate cut,
and even reveal a study about the potential value of
marijuana as a dementia therapy.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's all next on the Matt Gates Show. Let's do
this shaking up Washington, d C. We're breaking the fever.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Do you haven't watch this guy on television.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's like a machine.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
He's great Matt Gates.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yesterday, Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least
one hundred and four people, including forty six children and
twenty women. Israel claimed it's supported the Trump Gaza ceasefire,
but it carried out these strikes, citing retaliation for a
soldier's death and alleged militant activity before these latest strikes,
gaza's media office reported around eighty violations of the ceasefire
(01:13):
by Israel, resulting in about ninety seven Palestinian deaths and
two hundred and thirty people wounded. It's important to note
that this data comes from the GAZA Media Office and
should be taken in context. In Lebanon, Israel conducted a
ground incursion yesterday in the border town of Bleda. They
killed a municipal employee who had no known connection to Hesbola.
(01:35):
We appreciate the efforts of President Trump. The man says ceasefire,
and for a few glorious hours, the world actually holds
its breath, Markets flutter, Pundit's meltdown, and peace even for
a brief fleeting moment, seems possible. Then right on que missiles, jets, explosions,
and to Israel's government looking around saying who us. It's
(02:00):
like the kid who swears he didn't eat the cookies,
but as chocolate all over his face and crumbs on
his tie. Every time Trump wrangles another ceasefire out of
thin air, it lasts about as long as a hunter
Biden's sobriety pledge. Israel signs on the dotted line, flashes
a smile for the cameras, and then what's that? A
defensive strike, Always defensive, always urgent, always right after the
(02:24):
ink dries.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
President Trump, bless him. He keeps trying.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
He's out there doing his best to ensure that we've
got some semblance of order. It's like he's having to
imitate a global kindergarten teacher. Okay, everyone hands to yourself.
No rockets during snack time. And every time someone breaks
the rule, it's Israel's hand. They shrug, they say, oh
Hummas looked at us.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Funny.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Trump's ceasefire was the most stable thing in the Middle
East since air conditioning.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It had a ran backing off.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Arab states were signing the Abraham Accords, and Israel was
practically glowing under the sunlight of American support. But that
wasn't enough for Beebe. Apparently the net Yahoo crowd couldn't
resist a little more bloodshed. They had to launch a
few more clarifying airstrikes, because nothing clarifies peace like dead
(03:15):
children in Gaza or a dead civil servant in Lebanon.
Israel has the right to defend itself. No sane person
denies that. But there's a difference between defense and defiance.
If you agree to stop shooting and then start shooting
again the second the cameras leave, that's not defense. It's
disobedience with better pr PR that they pay for. By
(03:39):
the way, in the United States, according to recent FORA filings,
every violation of this ceasefire isn't just a missile in
the sky. It's a slap in the face to the
guy who actually got people to the peace table.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
President Trump and Israel's leadership.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Instead of saying thank you for stabilizing the region, they're
out there acting like the substitute teacher's gone, so it's
time to bully Christians and Judea and Samaria just trying
to pick olives. President Trump built the peace, Israel is
breaking it, and the excuse parade is endless.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Oh it was preemptive.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh we had intelligence, right, We've seen this charade. We've
heard the lies from Israeli intelligence, and a senior Massad
officer even told us in advance that Gaza would be
destroyed and Israel would use false flags to ignore ceasefires.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
The creative idea, I do, okay, we have agreement. Suddenly
they send some missiles. Our people send missiles from inside,
and then they said, oh, there is a missless from Gaza,
so now we can answer to them. So you think
that's also something that's that's possible. Everything is possible. We
(04:49):
are going to erase Gaza.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I'm grateful for President Trump gratefully still believes peace is possible,
even when some of our friends act like it's optional.
I'm grateful that he speaks with clarity when everyone else
mumbles into policy briefings, and certainly grateful that he's willing
to say hard things. Allies who keep breaking deals need accountability,
not more hugs.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Not more guns, not more of our money.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You can't make peace with people who don't take peace seriously,
and you can't build trust with leaders who treat ceasefire
or agreements like the.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Directions on a shampoo bottle.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Trump gave the world a rare thing, a real shot
at calm. If Israel's government keeps tossing that away, they're
not just defining Trump, They're defined peace itself. Joining us
now Palacindian American and host of uncharted territory. Abdul him
Abdul Rahman, thank you so much for coming back. What
is your reaction to Israel's repeated violations of the ceasefire.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Well, Maya, genuinely speaking, I'm not surprised at all. Israel
is genuinely not interested in any type of peace whatsoever.
And I think, you know, this is something that I
said earlier when you had brought me on the first time.
If we look at the configuration of the current Israeli government,
it is composed of extreme far right elements that don't
(06:09):
want the genocide in Gaza to end. They want to
stay in Gaza. They want to fulfill their holy mission
of emptying out Gaza of all the Palestinians and resettling it.
And of course there's a political element to this as well.
Benjamin Natiahu is still on trial for corruption, and of
course the longer that the IDEA for remains in Gaza,
(06:32):
the more excuse is that he has to keep prolonging
and justifying the idef's presence. But you know, when President
Trump rolled out this, you know, quote unquote peace agreement, Matt,
Israel began violating the ceasefire just about immediately, And although
it wasn't embombing Gaza initially per se, it was shooting
at Palestinians that had across the way called an undesignated area.
(06:56):
If you recall from the first initial withdrawal from Aza,
Israel retained roughly sixty percent of control over Gaza, and
the Palestinians from moving north to south or vice versa,
or just simply trying to recuperate. We're shot for getting
too close to the idea. If I believe there's been
over fifty violations of the Trump peace planning Gaza prior
(07:18):
to Benjaminatana who ordering the mass bombardment of Gaza which
killed over one hundred people.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
There's something disingenuous about Israel signing the ceasefire and then
immediately commencing hostilities and then saying there for the ceasefire,
and then more hostilities and then saying there for the ceasefire.
How are Palestinians feeling about the prospects of even forging
a peace going forward?
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Well, Matt, I think you've you know answer. Excuse me,
raised a very important question that Palestinians have been asking
themselves since nineteen forty eight. Really, when the State of
Israel ethnically cleansed and kicked out over eight hundred thousand
Palestinians during the next but which created the modern day
state of Israel. There have been several times throughout this
conflict in which the Palestinian leadership has signaled a yearnest
(08:09):
desire for a two state solution under Oslo in two
thousand and eight between Mahmud Ibets and the Prime Minister
of Israel then who had Olmricht, and they almost came
to an agreement in the Israelis through them in jail. Look,
I think we have to admit, since Benjamin Natanyahu has
been in power in Israel, and I would even argue
(08:31):
before then, his goal has never been to have peace
with the Palestinians, to have a two state solution, to
have a Palestinian state existing alongside of Israel. He has
said it very clearly time and time again. There will
be no Palestinian state. That is why matt He allowed
Katar to fund him ass through Guyza, to prop them
(08:52):
up to weaken the moderate Palestinian authority in the thought
that leadership in the West Bank that had been working
with the Israelis negoti with the Israelis. And fast forward
just decades later to this particular moment when we see
more images of malnutrition and slaughtered Palestinians. What do you
expect the Palestinians to think? This is the question I
(09:14):
posts for the general population. When you kill innocent people,
when you starve them, when you displace them, do you
expect them to want to have peace with you? If
Israel's genuine interest is peace with the Palestinians, the Lebanese,
and the Syrians, then needs to do one thing, actually
two things, stop bombing them and leave their homeland because
it's not their land.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, I don't think relitigating nineteen forty eight is going
to be all that productive to a two state solution
or winding down violence.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I think Israel has a right to exist.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The question is are they pursuing a greater Israel project
that is largely for Netanyahu's domestic political benefit rather than
for the benefit of Israel. And I think that's the
point you make when you lay out the facts of
the desperate conditions right now in Gaza, Because even during
the Iraq War, Americans who were very loyal to the
(10:02):
Bush strategy begin to notice they were creating more terrorists
than they were killing with some of the Western tactics.
And if you want Israel to exist, and I don't
I'm not advocating to go to pre nineteen forty eight.
I don't think what you want is Israel trying to
externalize their violence with everyone who will create even the
(10:26):
big leaf of a basis for that. And that does
bring us to the violence that is expanding in Israel's north.
It's not just in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
There.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Just yesterday we saw incursions into Lebanon. I do believe
that NETANYAHUO needs to keep the Middle East in a
state of constant violence for his zone preservation of power.
Do you think the people in South Lebanon should expect
invasion next?
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Well, Matt, just to kind of briefly touch upon a
point you made, you know, I think that right now
Israel is already in South Lebanon. During the Biden administration,
in the early portion of the Trump administration has the
law and Lebanon had agreed to a ceasefire agreement with Israel,
(11:10):
and just like the agreement in Gaza, Israel has routinely
violated that ceasefire. They are actively occupying large swaths of
the south of Lebanon. So I wouldn't necessarily call it
a full scale invasion, but for better for worse, the
Israelis are already there. They've unfortunately, have killed many innocent
Lebanese civilians in the south, very similar to the guys
(11:31):
that they've you know, you know, have put forth in
Gaza while we're fighting Hames. So we have to kill this,
you know, uh, this refugee tent full of children. And
I also think it's important to point out, matt While
that while Israel has been in the South of Lebanon,
American citizens have died. I'm talking to you right here, uh,
(11:52):
basically just about ten minutes away from Dearborn, Michigan, which
as you know, has one of the largest arib American
populations in the un United States. There have been dozens
of Lebanese American civilians from Dearborn who have told me
personally that their families, houses have been destroyed by the
Israeli forces or that they have family members who have
(12:13):
been killed by the Israeli forces in South Lebanon. And
it's an unfortunate repeat of what we're also seeing too
in the West Bank, not just straight too far off
from your question, and which we're also seeing Americans being targeted,
killed and displaced in the West Bank, Christians, Muslims, even
Individuals who are not Palestinians, who are just an American
are living there, are also being targeted by the idea
(12:36):
of So while I genuinely do you understand the point
where you're coming from, I think it's too late to
ask a question about an invasion. They're already there. The
question is what will the United States do? What will
the Trump administration do to utilize this leverage over Israel
to get them to stop doing this.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I guess it begs a bigger question with these dynamics
you've described, do you think Jews, Palestinians, Muslims, Christians can
coexist in the Holy Land?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (13:05):
You know, I unfortunately believe that there seems to be
this kind of big misnomer that, you know, the Muslims
don't want to live with the Christians, and the Muslims
don't want to live with the Jews, and vice versa.
So let me say that I personally, and I speak
for all Palestinians, and I say this, we are people
of God. We love and respect our Christian and Jewish
(13:25):
brothers and sisters. What we don't want is individuals like Netnahu,
Ben Revere, Smoe Church, the armed settlers to impede upon
our daily life. This is not a religious war, Matt.
This is not a religious conflict and has nothing to
do with the Judaism or Christianity. Palestinians that live in
the West Bank and Gaza have always protected their Christians
(13:48):
brothers and sisters. I don't know if you know this,
but just last summer, Israeli settlers with a Jerusalem they
tried to incur upon the Armenian Christian Church in Jerusalem,
and it was actually the Muslim war was from Aluxa
who came down and repelled the settlers and said, no,
leave them alone. I am for peace. There must be peace.
We are all the son of God, Christians, Muslims, Jews,
(14:09):
there Abrahamic faiths. We believe in the same ideas. You know,
if you ever read Quran, I ask any theologist. Jesus
Christ has mentioned twenty six times in the Quran. That's
more than our prophet Muhammed so al Lakla. He was
seldom right. So there is a reveration in respect for
Judaism a Christianity given at his lineage in his origin.
I think the question is does Israel right now? Benjamin Netanna,
(14:30):
who is far right coalition. Does he really want there
to be peace in the Middle East?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
And does he?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I don't think they do. I don't think he does.
And by the way, that's not a criticism of the
Jewish people. I have been to Israel. I share your
assessment of the Hashemite protectorates of some of the holy sites.
The Jordanians take great pride in the fact that there
is stability in a place that, throughout centuries and millennia,
(14:56):
has seen a great deal of conflict. And I just wonder,
with net and Yaho effectively in control of the government
of Israel, as long as he keeps the wars going,
what do you think the Middle East looks like five
years from now?
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Well, I would just push anybody to say, google a
map of Israel right now, and you'll see that that
map of Israel is not accurate. Right now, Israel's in Syria.
They're about fifteen twenty miles away from Damascus. They're in
the south of Lebanon. As we've mentioned, they effectively control
all of the West Bank, which is functionally annexed. Same
(15:32):
thing with Gaza. If the Trump administration doesn't put its
foot down Matt and enforce the laws on the books,
threatened to utilize the Lahy Law, threatened to utilize Section
six twenty I, the Foreign Assistance Actor, threatened to institute
some type of sanctions over Israel, or basically say no
more free checks from the United States to fund your military.
(15:54):
Then what you're going to see is Greater Israel actualized
right now under the Natahu government and spirited by Brazil
Simotrich and Imar ben Gevier. Greater Israel is underway, but
it can be stopped if the American government and of
course the Western world comes together and says that's enough.
You're not going to kill and expand in our name
(16:15):
using our funds.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yeah, if the Greater Israel project is expansionist into Judaan
and Samaria, expansionist into Lebanon, expansionist into Syria, if it
is causing chaos in Arab capitals across the Middle East,
this was certainly not going to be something that Trump
administration is going to support. I think when we saw
jd Vance last night answer a number of very direct
(16:38):
questions about the US Israel relationship, he wasn't slavishly devoted
to the Greater Israel by any means. He was pointing
out that there certainly are areas where the United States
and Israel have shared interests.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I agree with that. I think those ought to be nurtured.
But there are.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Times when nets and Yahoo in particular has to be
bb sad for lack of a better because left to
his own devices, he lies about intelligence and then he
uses that as a basis to spill more blood and
centralized power, and that is just not the thing that
an ally should be able to do without getting some
straight talk from the United States. Abdulheim Ramin, thank you
(17:16):
so much for coming on, and I hope we're able
to continue the conversation going forward.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Absolutely, Matt, thank you for having me on and I
definitely appreciate a good hearted back and forth conversation.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Thank you, and coming up we will hear from a
German woman who believes she's entitled to asylum in the
United States as the consequence of a lot of torment
and harassment for conservatives in Germany.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Or Amazon Fire device.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Simply go to the app store, search out forn, then
enjoy all the great programming offered by on including my
show Real America.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Listen to the story of Naomi zep She's a twenty
five year old German activist and has just stunned the
world by applying for political asylum in the United States.
She cites threats to her life and persecution in Germany
over her right politics. She says she's been the target
of repeated death threats from Antifa because of reviews on
(20:19):
climate change, immigration, free speech, and alignment with the Alternative
for Germany Party, which goes by AfD. We had k
gotchalk on our program from AfD. He described the tyrannical
tools the government of Germany was using to persecute the AfD.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
It's a horrible situation right here in Germany right now.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
The old parties are.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Fearing to lose power.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
They take each action.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
They could against us, for example, with a domestic intelligence
services working against US, now some mayoral candidates are not
allowed to participate in an election.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
It doesn't sound like things have gotten better for conservatives
in Germany since then, Naomi claims German authorities, police and
intelligence have surveiled her and failed to protect her. According
to Naomi, they even offered what some might take as
a veiled threat. They told her she was safe as
long as she wasn't raped or killed.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
It's quite the caveat.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Her stated goal is to obtain a US citizenship down
the road. She's invoked American values of free speech and
the Maga movement as part of her narrative. She filed
Intersection two O eight of the US Immigration and Nationalities Act,
saying that she fears imprisonment or physical harm if returned
to Germany. Her application will go through the US Asylum
adjudication interview, potential evidentiary review, and ultimately a decision. The
(21:40):
case may set an important precedent establishing America as a
safe haven for Western conservatives seeking refuge when it no
longer is found in Europe. Naomi Zeiped is a political
commentator and journalist for Deutsch lend career and she joins
US now. Naomi, welcome to the show we wanted to
hear why you believe you're entitled to asylum in the
(22:00):
United States.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Thank you so much for having me on and for
giving me this chance to speak, because freedom of speech
is not a thing in Germany anymore, and it hasn't
been for a long time. I am politically persecuted by
the government. I have confirmation that I have been under
government surveillance since at least around twenty nineteen. I've received
many death threats from Antifa, which is correctly classified as
(22:26):
a terrorist organization in America under President Trump. But the
police didn't do anything to help me because they told
me as long as I'm not actually raped or hurt
or killed, there's nothing they can do about it. At
the same time, many people in Germany who make posts
where they criticize the government, they receive house rates. The
(22:46):
police come to their door and take their phones away
and then completely intimidate them with no prior trial.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
When was the moment when you most feared for your
life during the surveillance.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
It became very apparent for me in twenty nineteen, when
I just started out and I was just nineteen years old,
that I was dealing with something very serious, and I
didn't have any security options, especially when I started receiving
all these death threats and media harassment, which amplified these threats.
But then last year twenty twenty four, when I started
(23:24):
becoming more internationally recognized, especially for interacting with Elon Musk
in public because both of us were supporting the AfD party,
that's when the death threats got amplified. And then it
got even worse because I found out that I had
been spied on Bidominan intelligence. Some of my friends and
mine by association, phone calls had been intercepted, and multiple
(23:46):
of my friends were sentenced to either jail or probation
for posting memes for criticizing the government.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
The government has acknowledged that they have indeed engaged in
surveillance of the ABIA. We've covered that on this program.
Do you think the government actually wants people in Germany
to do physical harm to people associated with AfD.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
I honestly believe that that's the case, because they're not
doing anything against Antifa and they know that these threats
are extremely real. They are essentially using the Antifa people
as soldiers against AfD supporters. Yes, even those who just
vote for the AfD, So many Germans are scared to
speak up online because they know that they might be next.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
There will be those who watch this interview and say
this activity occurred in twenty nineteen. It's quite a long
time later. If this was such a prescient threat, Why
did you not seek asylum previously?
Speaker 8 (24:48):
For two reasons, I didn't have the option because I
didn't have this kind of reach yet. I was very
naive and I was still very young, so I didn't
quite understand the extent of the surveillance that I was
put on now. And I was extremely ill. I was
honestly deathly ill back in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty,
so there was no way for me to escape, and
I have to step out of the spotlight. For a
long time, they thought that they could get me, they
(25:11):
thought they could destroy me. And then last year, when
I started becoming more internationally recognized again, that's when I knew,
this time it's much bigger than it was back in
twenty twenty, and this time they will not stop. They
will do anything they can to actually arrest me because
they understand the threat level for the German state.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
And if indeed you are granted political asylum in the
United States. What precedent do you think that sets for
other conservatives who feel increasingly persecuted by governments in Europe.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
Today I spoke with the amazing Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna
and she guaranteed me that she will prioritize this case,
and she asked me to provide a lot of evidence
of other Germans being persecuted. And then also the German
state media, whom we pay taxes for, they continue to
defame the American government, the Trump administration. They called Stephen
(26:02):
Miller a Nazi, and they even defamed Charlie Kak and
lied about him. So we want to take this very seriously,
and we want to confront the German government and the
German state media and amplify the voice of AfD members
and supporters. So this is going to have far reaching consequences.
The government has no idea what's coming for them.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
It is strange when we hear the allegation that Stephen
Miller is a Nazi. He's Jewish, so if he's a Nazi,
he's terrible at it. The next steps in this process
that you are expecting are what as you pursue your
asylum claim.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
I did apply for asylum the completely normal route, because
I want to go about this as just another asylum seeker.
But then Annapolina Luna, she offered me a help and she,
I believe, is going to expedite the process, which I
am extremely grateful for because just knowing that myself and
possibly my family receive official government protection from the United
(26:58):
States government, that's going to make it much easier for
me to speak up about the total totalitarian state of
the German government and what led to all of this,
because it didn't start now, It started back when Angela
Merkel was our chancellor. That's when the Conservative Party got
hijacked and something changed entirely.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You are the first German to make an asylum claim
like this that I'm aware of. If indeed it's granted,
how many more Germans do you think would follow that
precedent and would seek asylum here in the United States.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
My aim is to represent all Germans because I want
to give them back their freedom, and my aim is
to fight so that these Germans don't have to flee,
so that they can stay in their home country and
actually re establish German patriotism. But I do believe that
we will see these kinds of cases skyrocketing, and there
will be more Germans who will be seeking asylum. But
(27:56):
I hope that we can protect as many people as
possible in Ja while they're there, and by setting this precedent,
this will intimidate the German government to stop pursuing these people.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Do you feel any guilt that you've left and don't
want to go back now? Do you feel any guilt
for those who are still there fighting against this tyrannical.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Government, less so because of the other Germans, Because I
am actually doing this, not to run away. I could
have applied for a journalism visa if I just wanted
to stay in the United States. I genuinely fear for
my life in Germany, and I want to be able
to keep speaking up. If I have to stop talking
online altogether about what's going on, that's not going to
(28:37):
help the German people. And I left Germany with a
very heavy heart, especially because of my family, because I'm
not going to be able to see my family anytime
very soon. And I think about my grandma because there's
a very good chance that I'm not going to be
able to see her again. And I didn't see her
just before I left Germany, because I didn't anticipate any
of this, but I know that she supports me, that
(28:57):
my family supports me, and all my friends and colleague,
and I'm just hoping that we can start or rather
amplify this movement that we have created already.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
It certainly does seem to be a rising movement, and
we will follow this case very closely. Naomi Zip, thank
you for coming on the program and sharing your experience.

it is time to keep the Republican team in charge
as they head toward common sense and away from crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Don't go anywhere.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
There's an election on Tuesday, and we head to the
campaign trail in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The election there
will be for governor, Lieutenant governor, and Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
People are already voting.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
The races are on national attention, part because Democrat Attorney
General candidate Jay Jones texted that he wanted the children
of his political opponent killed. We wonder if the revenge
killing of children is acceptable to for Virginia voters, and
we sure hope it isn't. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has
done an admirable job. He leaves now due to term limits.
So will Virginia continue down a path of parental empowerment
(32:22):
and medical freedom or will the Democrats, with their self proclaimed.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Bloodlust be rewarded?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Joining us now Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia,
John Reid. So, John, we're in the final stretch of
the campaign. How are you feeling about the interactions you're
having with voters.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
Oh, people are finally paying attention. I've kind of been
waiting for this moment, and fortunately for us, bad for Virginia.
But fortunately for us, the Democrats aren't backing away from
really the bad decisions they've been making. You know, they
are trying to overturn the will of the people of
Virginia and give the politicians the power to draw their
own strict lines. Again, Virginians have already said no to that,
(33:03):
and I don't think they like the idea that the
Democrats don't respect them. They pulled win some seers, our
current lieutenant governor who's running for governor, off the campaign
trail so that she can't actually engage with voters. I
think that's a big problem that people are going to resent.
It's kind of dirty, dirty play here in the last
(33:23):
couple of days. As for me, I'm really enjoying continuing
my tour around the state. We've put on almost three
hundred miles on the car today alone, Shaking hands with folks,
giving speeches with people. This is what I've been doing
for months, and we've got the answers economically and culturally
that I think people will embrace. I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
The Democrat candidate for Attorney General really set the world
on fire with some explosive tweets wishing physical harm to
the children of a political rival. I'm wondering how much
is this affecting the entire Democrat ticket that they didn't
replace this candidate, they didn't condemn him, They just went
on as if there wasn't this this embrace of violence.
Speaker 9 (34:07):
Yeah, it's been very, very shocking. And what's more shocking
than one person's of bad behavior and threats of violence
is that nobody in the Democrat Party in Virginia has
forced this guy off the ticket. In fact, when you
look at his campaign finance reports, they've given him almost
(34:27):
a million dollars since the text messages were discovered, which
is just stunning. The mindset that wouldn't say this is
the line that you can't cross. And I think Virginians
aren't going to tolerate it. I'm certainly making a point
of bringing it up in front of the audiences that
I'm going to, and I think decent people just aren't
(34:49):
gonna put up with it.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
There was a lot of hope within the Commonwealth when
Governor Youngkin was elected.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
He seems to have done a very good job.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
As DC was crumbled, Virginia was really getting its mojo back.
What are the features of the Youngkin legacy that you
think Democrats would undo if they got power.
Speaker 9 (35:12):
Well, the Democrats have been very clear they've not cooperated
with Glen Youngkin. They've called him a racist every chance
they get, which is absurd. I mean, he's brought a
record number of new jobs and new businesses to the Commonwealth.
And I still believe the adage which I guess the
Democrats taught us during the Clinton era, it's the economy stupid.
(35:33):
Glen Youngkin has stayed focused on bringing new jobs to Virginia.
It's one of the things that I think I can
do as an ambassador for the state if I'm Lieutenant governor.
With my experience in global international affairs and as the
former communications director at the United States Chamber of Commerce,
I know something about that too. So I think Virginians
want new jobs. They want someone who will be reasonable
(35:56):
and responsible and respectful. I think Glen Youngkin has demostrated
that even when people have slapped at him and been
unfair to him, he's been unflappable. He's not returned the
evil attitude with evil from his side of the aisle,
and I think that's what Virginians traditionally expect is a
governor and a lieutenant governor who will stay above the
(36:20):
fray and try to be strong, principled leaders. That's one
of the reasons I quit my radio program and decided
to run is I think I can do that.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
There are a lot of federal workers who call the
Commonwealth home, and we are in a shutdown right now,
and a lot of those federal workers don't always vote Republican.
They can be a part of the reliable Democrat base.
Have Democrats earned the votes of these federal workers the
way they've used them as a pawn in this broader shutdown.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
No.
Speaker 9 (36:50):
It's interesting back at the beginning of this whole cycle,
in February and March, I would go to northern Virginia
and people would say, oh, what party are you in.
I'd say republic I was a Republican. They'd cussed me out. Seriously.
I think there were Marines at Paris Island who got
cussed out less than I did at that part of
the year. Now, though the Democrats can't have it both ways,
(37:12):
and Virginians are seeing it, you can't say that this
is hurting Virginia's economy and hurting the people of Virginia.
If you're a Democrat senator like the two we have,
and then cross the street, go into the Capitol and
vote to keep the government closed, you just can't get
away with it.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
People aren't stupid.
Speaker 9 (37:30):
They see what's happening, and they hear us talking about
it on the campaign trail, and I think they're growing
in confidence that will be the legitimate leaders who will
put the people of Virginia first, not the politics first.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Several months ago, Democrats were very confident that they were
going to flip the commonwealth back. They thought they had
recruited an exceptional slate of candidates, they thought the wind
was at their back. And now if you see Republicans
overperform in Virginia on Tuesday, it's going to be because
of bad candidates like Jay Jones, who had no business
running a statewide and it will be this bad shutdown strategy,
(38:06):
which really, unfortunately is hurting a lot of federal workers
who deserve a governor and lieutenant governor who will actually
fight for them and keep them in their jobs, not
play games with them. There are a lot of different
races that we'll be watching on Tuesday. I don't think
there's a single candidate who's been on the road talking
to voters more. I'll give you the last word, John Reid,
(38:26):
what's the favorite interaction you've had with a voter in
Virginia Having done so much of this grassroots campaigning.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
Well, what I have tried to do, and I pray
it's going to pay off, is I told the consultants
get out of my office. I'm going to college campuses,
I'm going to high schools. I'm going to talk to students,
young people, because it shows that you respect them when
you show up to talk to them, when you treat
them like young adults, when you discuss important issues with
(38:56):
them and act like you actually value therein put which
I do. And guess what they go home and tell
their parents. This guy who's a Republican came and spent
two hours at my school today. And I've done it
pretty consistently for the last nine months. I think the
word is out that you've got a candidate like me
who wants to engage with everybody, even if they've never
(39:18):
voted Republican before. And I've got a good feeling that's
gonna pay off.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
John Reid is running for Lieutenant governor of Virginia. He
has been laying down the shoe leather. We wish you well,
my friend. Take care and hope you can keep the
Commonwealth on the path to common sense.
Speaker 9 (39:32):
Got to keep trying hard. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Take care and coming up, there is new scientific evidence
out about marijuana and the impact that it may have
on patients with dementia. You won't want to miss this

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Every so often a scientific study comes out that makes
people stop and say, wait, could this actually work? That's
what's happened with a new clinical trial out of Brazil.
It's about Alzheimer's disease. The cruel memory stealing condition that
has touched nearly every American family in some way. For decades,
scientists have searched for something, anything, that could slow it down,
(42:25):
and now researchers may have found a small but important
ally cannabis marijuana, not the kind at a dispensary or
in a joint. This is precisely measured, and it is
in a tiny amount that wouldn't get anyone high. It's
a dose that includes a whisper of THCHC ANDCBD. These
are the two main compounds in the cannabis plant. Patients
(42:47):
between sixty and eighty years old, all diagnosed with Alzheimer's
related dementia, took that extract every day for six months.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
And here's the surprise.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
When compared with people who took a placebo, the cannabis
group actually scored higher on memory and thinking tests at
the end of the study. No wild side effects, no
mental fog, just a modest, measurable improvement in cognitive function. Now,
to be clear, this isn't a miracle or a cure.
Scientists don't see dramatic turnarounds for patients in permanent recovery,
(43:19):
but in the world of Alzheimer's. Small progress is big
news because this is the first long term, controlled study
showing that a cannabinoid treatment might genuinely help protect or
even boost brain function in older adults living with dementia.
The researchers are cautious. They say, we need bigger studies,
more follow up, and evidence before doctors start prescribing cannabis
(43:41):
extracts for Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
But they're also hopeful and hope matters. Think about it.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
For decades, Alzheimer's treatments have mostly been focused on slowing decline,
not improving clarity. Yet this little low dose extract to
the opposite. It nudged the brain toward better performance safely
and people already diagnosed. So while no one's calling it
a cure, the study gives us something precious, a reason
(44:07):
to keep pushing. It tells us that maybe, just maybe
the answers we've been looking for aren't locked away in
a lab. They're growing quietly in nature and with careful science,
honesty and hope that discovery could one day help millions
hold on to the memories that make them who they are.
Joining us now, Founder and editor in chief of the
Marijuana Herald Anthony Martinelli. Anthony, you've covered this story suggesting
(44:31):
that marijuana could be a dementia therapy.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
What struck you about the data?
Speaker 10 (44:35):
Absolutely? First off, thank you for having me on the show.
So this study is really important in my opinion for
three different reasons. One, you know, there's been hundreds of
cannabis related studies published this year, there have only been
a handful of clinical trials. Because cannabis remains a Schedule
one drug, research is difficult, so clinical trials are rare.
And this is not only just the normal clinical trial.
(44:56):
This is actually the longest, most comprehensive clinical triale in
regards to cannabinoids and how they affect Alzheimer's patients. And
it's also important in my mind because it's just another
study that shows the absurdity of keeping cannabis as a
Schedule one drug, which implies that it has no medical value.
So you know, this study in particular, you know, my
grandma passed away from Alzheimer's disease, so that's one of
(45:19):
the things that initially brought me to this. But you know,
really the fact that it's a clinical trial that shows
that cannabis has strong medical value for those of Alzheimer's disease,
and this study not only focused on CBD, but focused
on a combination of CBD and THC.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
There is something so challenging about Alzheimer's and dementia, which
which of course you know based on the impact to
your family, where you see somebody's body performing and the
mind cannot. And I don't know what has caused such
an increase in Alzheimer's and dementia. I've got my suspicion
that maybe interaction with all these environmental elements has had
a negative impact on the human body. And wouldn't it
(45:57):
be something if a plant that grows in native sure
could provide a meaningful remedy.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
What do you think are the next steps for researchers?
Speaker 10 (46:05):
So I think that you know, this was a phase
two clinical trial, and the researchers pointed out that it
would be good to have some further trials that kind
of go a little further into it. I think that
if we can get cannabis rescheduled, as hopefully will happen
soon based on what's going on with the Trump administration,
we know we're all hoping that that's something that can
move forward relatively shortly. Once that happens, I think the
(46:27):
floodgates are going to completely open. You know, The Marijuana
Herald has published at least a dozen articles this year
alone regarding how cannabis can benefit those with Alzheimer's disease,
both treating the symptoms and helping to prevent it. And
this is happening while cannabis is Schedule one. Once cannabis
is removed from Schedule one, moved to Schedule three, or
(46:48):
even descheduled completely eventually, then it really allows researchers to
delve into this in a way that they can't do now.
You know, we see clinical trials so rarely because of
the restrictions, but you know, despite Schedule one, we're still
seeing these studies that are showing just how beneficial it is.
And something like Alzheimer's disease, as you mentioned, it's really
a terrible disease. It's really a difficult disease to watch
(47:10):
anybody have, and if there is any medicine out there
that can be beneficial to them, then that's great. And
as you mentioned, this is a natural plant. So not
only do we have something that can help Alzheimer's patients,
we have something that is natural and safe. And that's
one thing that the study noted was that it was
a placebo controlled study and there was no noticeable difference
(47:31):
in secondary outcomes or adverse outcomes between those who consumed
cannabis extracts and those who consumed the placebo So, unlike
heavy pharmaceuticals that come with a bevy of side effects, cannabis,
at least the cannabis extract in the study was found
to not have any notable side effects. That the minor
side effects that were noted were, you know, nausea and dizziness,
(47:51):
but that was reported in less than ten percent of patients,
and obviously those are much less severe than pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
I've long believed that marijuana does not belong in the
list of Schedule one drugs. I sponsored bills in Congress
to reschedule cannabis, and if the Trump administration in need
does this, I think there are cures that we're not
even talking about right now that could be unlocked. You
could have an entire envelope of the Trump cures that
exist as a consequence of rescheduling. What role do you
(48:20):
think higher education institutions could have in doing that research
If rescheduling were to happen.
Speaker 10 (48:27):
I think that they would have a big role. You know,
researchers from different universities are able to Science Court sort
of find their way around the tight regulations to conduct
these types of studies. But as you mentioned, there's so
many things, so many different ailments and conditions that cannabis
could help with or even cure that we're not they're
not even able to consider at this point because of
(48:48):
the restrictions.
Speaker 6 (48:49):
So once those.
Speaker 10 (48:49):
Restrictions are moved, I believe that, you know, as I
mentioned Marijuana Herald, we've published over four hundred cannabis studies
this year alone. That's with cannabis's Schedule one. If it
can move to Schedule three, we're going to be seeing
thousands and thousands of studies over the course of just
a few years. That will really really open up the potential.
We know that cannabis helps with nausea, and we know
(49:10):
now it helps with Alzheimer's and depression and anxiety, but
there's so many other elements that I personally believe it
could help with that, as you alluded to, we just
don't know because the research isn't there. And I think
that you're going to see colleges just absolutely jump at
the opportunity to continue studying this plant in a much
deeper way once it's actually removed from Schedule one.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
Anthony Martinelli, the Marijuana Herald, thanks so much for coming
on the program and bringing the study to our attention.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Ever, President Trump has delivered a clear message grow the economy,
cut burdens, and unleash America. In that vein, the Federal
Reserve announced yesterday that it would trim its benchmark interest
rate by a.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Quarter of a percentage point.
Speaker 1 (53:09):
This moves the target range down to three point seventy
five to four percent. The decision comes after months of
White House pressure to loosen that up, so the free
market horsepower that President Trump has championed can rev again.
Borrowing gets slightly cheaper, businesses get a bit more room,
and make America great again. Vibes continue to flourish, shared
(53:30):
your own. Powell stress that another cut in December is
far from a foregone conclusion. For Republicans who favor growth,
This is a welcome nod toward more flexible market conditions.
So let's see how the economy is responding. Joining US
now American Growth and Innovation Form Board member Sam Keebler. So, Sam,
what's your reaction to today's RAID cut?
Speaker 11 (53:51):
You know, it's a prising sign and thanks for having me, Matt.
For a while, the Fed has been a little slow
to get around to interest rates, but it's nice to
see some momentum with the September cut and now the
second cut here in October.
Speaker 1 (54:03):
Do you think we got yeah, do you think we
got another ray cut this year? And if so, what
potential do you think that unlocks in the economy.
Speaker 11 (54:11):
You know, we'll see I think the whole government shutdown
is really kind of throwing a wrench into what the
FED might do. But if I were vetting man, I
would say we might see another cut.
Speaker 1 (54:22):
Yeah, I mean, one would maybe look at the shutdown
as a reason to cut rates even more than the
FED had anticipated. If we see an economic slow down
as a result of what Schumer's doing. The market did
not respond as favorably as we may have hoped. Is
that because this cut was more baked in than we
might have might have initially expected.
Speaker 11 (54:40):
I think you're exactly right, it's baked in, and you know,
I think, and going to your point of how it's
going to affect the market, I think less of Wall Street,
more main Street because small businesses right here is going
to be the most affected by this Ray cut. As
you know, SBA loans aren't going out with the government shutdown,
So this lower industry is is critical for more of
(55:01):
mainstream rather than Wall Street.
Speaker 1 (55:03):
We know that President Trump is working hard to get
the productive sectors of the economy going. Again, what impact
do you think great cuts will have on drawing in
capital investment?
Speaker 2 (55:14):
Incredible?
Speaker 11 (55:14):
I mean, especially in the healthcare industry just you know,
wilds flauted as it is. The you know, the enhanced
Obamacare subsidies expired at the end of the year. And
while you know, here at the American Growth and Innovation Forum,
we argue for you know, free market principles, you know,
in the meantime, these these cuts are going to be
huge for capital investments, especially in our healthcare space as
(55:36):
we're trying to fix the fordability issue.
Speaker 1 (55:39):
You know, we've had a number of guests on members
of Congress, people who watch the economy closely as you do,
and they say, we haven't really felt it yet. Even
in the polling, the shutdown doesn't really seem to be
presenting as prescient in the forefront of people's minds. Are
you looking at a certain duration of this shutdown where
(56:00):
it really starts to become central to the American experience
that people can't get on airplanes, that you've got forty
one million people not getting benefits and maybe even broader impacts.
Speaker 2 (56:12):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 11 (56:13):
I think you hit the nail on the head with flights, especially,
you know, with Thanksgiving coming up shortly. You know, I
have a flight tomorrow morning, and I'm concerned that. You know,
there's going to be many delays, So I think next
week will really start to feel the pain. You know,
every day America is just trying to travel and go
where they need to go. So that's really going to
heat up, I think, very very soon.
Speaker 1 (56:34):
Yeah, shutdowns over the holidays don't really have a great
energy to them. Let's hope this gets resolved before the holidays,
because if people are stuck in airports and not able
to see their loved ones, I think that may be
when Chuck Schumer indeed has to explain himself Sam Keebler
with the American growth.
Speaker 2 (56:50):
And innovation for him. Thanks so much for coming on
the program and sharing your expertise.
Speaker 7 (56:54):
Thanks Matt.
Speaker 2 (56:55):
That's all the time we have.
Speaker 1 (56:55):
We'll be back tomorrow nine Eastern six specific Make sure

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Stay right here Fine point with chanell Ryon is up next.
Speaker 1 (57:11):
Let's go get them
Israel continues its bombing campaign while simultaneously claiming therefore the ceasefire.
Do they know what ceasefire means? Will get perspective from
the Palestinian American community as the blood continues to spill
in the Holy Land. Plus, a white German woman is
seeking political asylum in the United States due to her
pro West, anti immigration views.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
She's with us this hour.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Tuesday's election Day, We'll hit the campaign trail in a
battleground contest, will cover the Fed's latest interest rate cut,
and even reveal a study about the potential value of
marijuana as a dementia therapy.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's all next on the Matt Gates Show. Let's do
this shaking up Washington, d C. We're breaking the fever.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Do you haven't watch this guy on television.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's like a machine.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
He's great Matt Gates.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yesterday, Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least
one hundred and four people, including forty six children and
twenty women. Israel claimed it's supported the Trump Gaza ceasefire,
but it carried out these strikes, citing retaliation for a
soldier's death and alleged militant activity before these latest strikes,
gaza's media office reported around eighty violations of the ceasefire
(01:13):
by Israel, resulting in about ninety seven Palestinian deaths and
two hundred and thirty people wounded. It's important to note
that this data comes from the GAZA Media Office and
should be taken in context. In Lebanon, Israel conducted a
ground incursion yesterday in the border town of Bleda. They
killed a municipal employee who had no known connection to Hesbola.
(01:35):
We appreciate the efforts of President Trump. The man says ceasefire,
and for a few glorious hours, the world actually holds
its breath, Markets flutter, Pundit's meltdown, and peace even for
a brief fleeting moment, seems possible. Then right on que missiles, jets, explosions,
and to Israel's government looking around saying who us. It's
(02:00):
like the kid who swears he didn't eat the cookies,
but as chocolate all over his face and crumbs on
his tie. Every time Trump wrangles another ceasefire out of
thin air, it lasts about as long as a hunter
Biden's sobriety pledge. Israel signs on the dotted line, flashes
a smile for the cameras, and then what's that? A
defensive strike, Always defensive, always urgent, always right after the
(02:24):
ink dries.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
President Trump, bless him. He keeps trying.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
He's out there doing his best to ensure that we've
got some semblance of order. It's like he's having to
imitate a global kindergarten teacher. Okay, everyone hands to yourself.
No rockets during snack time. And every time someone breaks
the rule, it's Israel's hand. They shrug, they say, oh
Hummas looked at us.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Funny.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Trump's ceasefire was the most stable thing in the Middle
East since air conditioning.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It had a ran backing off.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Arab states were signing the Abraham Accords, and Israel was
practically glowing under the sunlight of American support. But that
wasn't enough for Beebe. Apparently the net Yahoo crowd couldn't
resist a little more bloodshed. They had to launch a
few more clarifying airstrikes, because nothing clarifies peace like dead
(03:15):
children in Gaza or a dead civil servant in Lebanon.
Israel has the right to defend itself. No sane person
denies that. But there's a difference between defense and defiance.
If you agree to stop shooting and then start shooting
again the second the cameras leave, that's not defense. It's
disobedience with better pr PR that they pay for. By
(03:39):
the way, in the United States, according to recent FORA filings,
every violation of this ceasefire isn't just a missile in
the sky. It's a slap in the face to the
guy who actually got people to the peace table.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
President Trump and Israel's leadership.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Instead of saying thank you for stabilizing the region, they're
out there acting like the substitute teacher's gone, so it's
time to bully Christians and Judea and Samaria just trying
to pick olives. President Trump built the peace, Israel is
breaking it, and the excuse parade is endless.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Oh it was preemptive.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh we had intelligence, right, We've seen this charade. We've
heard the lies from Israeli intelligence, and a senior Massad
officer even told us in advance that Gaza would be
destroyed and Israel would use false flags to ignore ceasefires.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
The creative idea, I do, okay, we have agreement. Suddenly
they send some missiles. Our people send missiles from inside,
and then they said, oh, there is a missless from Gaza,
so now we can answer to them. So you think
that's also something that's that's possible. Everything is possible. We
(04:49):
are going to erase Gaza.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I'm grateful for President Trump gratefully still believes peace is possible,
even when some of our friends act like it's optional.
I'm grateful that he speaks with clarity when everyone else
mumbles into policy briefings, and certainly grateful that he's willing
to say hard things. Allies who keep breaking deals need accountability,
not more hugs.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Not more guns, not more of our money.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You can't make peace with people who don't take peace seriously,
and you can't build trust with leaders who treat ceasefire
or agreements like the.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Directions on a shampoo bottle.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Trump gave the world a rare thing, a real shot
at calm. If Israel's government keeps tossing that away, they're
not just defining Trump, They're defined peace itself. Joining us
now Palacindian American and host of uncharted territory. Abdul him
Abdul Rahman, thank you so much for coming back. What
is your reaction to Israel's repeated violations of the ceasefire.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Well, Maya, genuinely speaking, I'm not surprised at all. Israel
is genuinely not interested in any type of peace whatsoever.
And I think, you know, this is something that I
said earlier when you had brought me on the first time.
If we look at the configuration of the current Israeli government,
it is composed of extreme far right elements that don't
(06:09):
want the genocide in Gaza to end. They want to
stay in Gaza. They want to fulfill their holy mission
of emptying out Gaza of all the Palestinians and resettling it.
And of course there's a political element to this as well.
Benjamin Natiahu is still on trial for corruption, and of
course the longer that the IDEA for remains in Gaza,
(06:32):
the more excuse is that he has to keep prolonging
and justifying the idef's presence. But you know, when President
Trump rolled out this, you know, quote unquote peace agreement, Matt,
Israel began violating the ceasefire just about immediately, And although
it wasn't embombing Gaza initially per se, it was shooting
at Palestinians that had across the way called an undesignated area.
(06:56):
If you recall from the first initial withdrawal from Aza,
Israel retained roughly sixty percent of control over Gaza, and
the Palestinians from moving north to south or vice versa,
or just simply trying to recuperate. We're shot for getting
too close to the idea. If I believe there's been
over fifty violations of the Trump peace planning Gaza prior
(07:18):
to Benjaminatana who ordering the mass bombardment of Gaza which
killed over one hundred people.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
There's something disingenuous about Israel signing the ceasefire and then
immediately commencing hostilities and then saying there for the ceasefire,
and then more hostilities and then saying there for the ceasefire.
How are Palestinians feeling about the prospects of even forging
a peace going forward?
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Well, Matt, I think you've you know answer. Excuse me,
raised a very important question that Palestinians have been asking
themselves since nineteen forty eight. Really, when the State of
Israel ethnically cleansed and kicked out over eight hundred thousand
Palestinians during the next but which created the modern day
state of Israel. There have been several times throughout this
conflict in which the Palestinian leadership has signaled a yearnest
(08:09):
desire for a two state solution under Oslo in two
thousand and eight between Mahmud Ibets and the Prime Minister
of Israel then who had Olmricht, and they almost came
to an agreement in the Israelis through them in jail. Look,
I think we have to admit, since Benjamin Natanyahu has
been in power in Israel, and I would even argue
(08:31):
before then, his goal has never been to have peace
with the Palestinians, to have a two state solution, to
have a Palestinian state existing alongside of Israel. He has
said it very clearly time and time again. There will
be no Palestinian state. That is why matt He allowed
Katar to fund him ass through Guyza, to prop them
(08:52):
up to weaken the moderate Palestinian authority in the thought
that leadership in the West Bank that had been working
with the Israelis negoti with the Israelis. And fast forward
just decades later to this particular moment when we see
more images of malnutrition and slaughtered Palestinians. What do you
expect the Palestinians to think? This is the question I
(09:14):
posts for the general population. When you kill innocent people,
when you starve them, when you displace them, do you
expect them to want to have peace with you? If
Israel's genuine interest is peace with the Palestinians, the Lebanese,
and the Syrians, then needs to do one thing, actually
two things, stop bombing them and leave their homeland because
it's not their land.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, I don't think relitigating nineteen forty eight is going
to be all that productive to a two state solution
or winding down violence.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I think Israel has a right to exist.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The question is are they pursuing a greater Israel project
that is largely for Netanyahu's domestic political benefit rather than
for the benefit of Israel. And I think that's the
point you make when you lay out the facts of
the desperate conditions right now in Gaza, Because even during
the Iraq War, Americans who were very loyal to the
(10:02):
Bush strategy begin to notice they were creating more terrorists
than they were killing with some of the Western tactics.
And if you want Israel to exist, and I don't
I'm not advocating to go to pre nineteen forty eight.
I don't think what you want is Israel trying to
externalize their violence with everyone who will create even the
(10:26):
big leaf of a basis for that. And that does
bring us to the violence that is expanding in Israel's north.
It's not just in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
There.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Just yesterday we saw incursions into Lebanon. I do believe
that NETANYAHUO needs to keep the Middle East in a
state of constant violence for his zone preservation of power.
Do you think the people in South Lebanon should expect
invasion next?
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Well, Matt, just to kind of briefly touch upon a
point you made, you know, I think that right now
Israel is already in South Lebanon. During the Biden administration,
in the early portion of the Trump administration has the
law and Lebanon had agreed to a ceasefire agreement with Israel,
(11:10):
and just like the agreement in Gaza, Israel has routinely
violated that ceasefire. They are actively occupying large swaths of
the south of Lebanon. So I wouldn't necessarily call it
a full scale invasion, but for better for worse, the
Israelis are already there. They've unfortunately, have killed many innocent
Lebanese civilians in the south, very similar to the guys
(11:31):
that they've you know, you know, have put forth in
Gaza while we're fighting Hames. So we have to kill this,
you know, uh, this refugee tent full of children. And
I also think it's important to point out, matt While
that while Israel has been in the South of Lebanon,
American citizens have died. I'm talking to you right here, uh,
(11:52):
basically just about ten minutes away from Dearborn, Michigan, which
as you know, has one of the largest arib American
populations in the un United States. There have been dozens
of Lebanese American civilians from Dearborn who have told me
personally that their families, houses have been destroyed by the
Israeli forces or that they have family members who have
(12:13):
been killed by the Israeli forces in South Lebanon. And
it's an unfortunate repeat of what we're also seeing too
in the West Bank, not just straight too far off
from your question, and which we're also seeing Americans being targeted,
killed and displaced in the West Bank, Christians, Muslims, even
Individuals who are not Palestinians, who are just an American
are living there, are also being targeted by the idea
(12:36):
of So while I genuinely do you understand the point
where you're coming from, I think it's too late to
ask a question about an invasion. They're already there. The
question is what will the United States do? What will
the Trump administration do to utilize this leverage over Israel
to get them to stop doing this.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I guess it begs a bigger question with these dynamics
you've described, do you think Jews, Palestinians, Muslims, Christians can
coexist in the Holy Land?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (13:05):
You know, I unfortunately believe that there seems to be
this kind of big misnomer that, you know, the Muslims
don't want to live with the Christians, and the Muslims
don't want to live with the Jews, and vice versa.
So let me say that I personally, and I speak
for all Palestinians, and I say this, we are people
of God. We love and respect our Christian and Jewish
(13:25):
brothers and sisters. What we don't want is individuals like Netnahu,
Ben Revere, Smoe Church, the armed settlers to impede upon
our daily life. This is not a religious war, Matt.
This is not a religious conflict and has nothing to
do with the Judaism or Christianity. Palestinians that live in
the West Bank and Gaza have always protected their Christians
(13:48):
brothers and sisters. I don't know if you know this,
but just last summer, Israeli settlers with a Jerusalem they
tried to incur upon the Armenian Christian Church in Jerusalem,
and it was actually the Muslim war was from Aluxa
who came down and repelled the settlers and said, no,
leave them alone. I am for peace. There must be peace.
We are all the son of God, Christians, Muslims, Jews,
(14:09):
there Abrahamic faiths. We believe in the same ideas. You know,
if you ever read Quran, I ask any theologist. Jesus
Christ has mentioned twenty six times in the Quran. That's
more than our prophet Muhammed so al Lakla. He was
seldom right. So there is a reveration in respect for
Judaism a Christianity given at his lineage in his origin.
I think the question is does Israel right now? Benjamin Netanna,
(14:30):
who is far right coalition. Does he really want there
to be peace in the Middle East?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
And does he?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I don't think they do. I don't think he does.
And by the way, that's not a criticism of the
Jewish people. I have been to Israel. I share your
assessment of the Hashemite protectorates of some of the holy sites.
The Jordanians take great pride in the fact that there
is stability in a place that, throughout centuries and millennia,
(14:56):
has seen a great deal of conflict. And I just wonder,
with net and Yaho effectively in control of the government
of Israel, as long as he keeps the wars going,
what do you think the Middle East looks like five
years from now?
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Well, I would just push anybody to say, google a
map of Israel right now, and you'll see that that
map of Israel is not accurate. Right now, Israel's in Syria.
They're about fifteen twenty miles away from Damascus. They're in
the south of Lebanon. As we've mentioned, they effectively control
all of the West Bank, which is functionally annexed. Same
(15:32):
thing with Gaza. If the Trump administration doesn't put its
foot down Matt and enforce the laws on the books,
threatened to utilize the Lahy Law, threatened to utilize Section
six twenty I, the Foreign Assistance Actor, threatened to institute
some type of sanctions over Israel, or basically say no
more free checks from the United States to fund your military.
(15:54):
Then what you're going to see is Greater Israel actualized
right now under the Natahu government and spirited by Brazil
Simotrich and Imar ben Gevier. Greater Israel is underway, but
it can be stopped if the American government and of
course the Western world comes together and says that's enough.
You're not going to kill and expand in our name
(16:15):
using our funds.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yeah, if the Greater Israel project is expansionist into Judaan
and Samaria, expansionist into Lebanon, expansionist into Syria, if it
is causing chaos in Arab capitals across the Middle East,
this was certainly not going to be something that Trump
administration is going to support. I think when we saw
jd Vance last night answer a number of very direct
(16:38):
questions about the US Israel relationship, he wasn't slavishly devoted
to the Greater Israel by any means. He was pointing
out that there certainly are areas where the United States
and Israel have shared interests.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I agree with that. I think those ought to be nurtured.
But there are.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Times when nets and Yahoo in particular has to be
bb sad for lack of a better because left to
his own devices, he lies about intelligence and then he
uses that as a basis to spill more blood and
centralized power, and that is just not the thing that
an ally should be able to do without getting some
straight talk from the United States. Abdulheim Ramin, thank you
(17:16):
so much for coming on, and I hope we're able
to continue the conversation going forward.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Absolutely, Matt, thank you for having me on and I
definitely appreciate a good hearted back and forth conversation.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Thank you, and coming up we will hear from a
German woman who believes she's entitled to asylum in the
United States as the consequence of a lot of torment
and harassment for conservatives in Germany.
Speaker 2 (17:38):

Speaker 3 (19:25):
What does Roku TV, Apple TV, and Amazon fireTV all
have in common. The answer is that all three platforms
offer you the ability to live stream One America News
Network from your Roku TV, Apple TV.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Or Amazon Fire device.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Simply go to the app store, search out forn, then
enjoy all the great programming offered by on including my
show Real America.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Listen to the story of Naomi zep She's a twenty
five year old German activist and has just stunned the
world by applying for political asylum in the United States.
She cites threats to her life and persecution in Germany
over her right politics. She says she's been the target
of repeated death threats from Antifa because of reviews on
(20:19):
climate change, immigration, free speech, and alignment with the Alternative
for Germany Party, which goes by AfD. We had k
gotchalk on our program from AfD. He described the tyrannical
tools the government of Germany was using to persecute the AfD.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
It's a horrible situation right here in Germany right now.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
The old parties are.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Fearing to lose power.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
They take each action.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
They could against us, for example, with a domestic intelligence
services working against US, now some mayoral candidates are not
allowed to participate in an election.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
It doesn't sound like things have gotten better for conservatives
in Germany since then, Naomi claims German authorities, police and
intelligence have surveiled her and failed to protect her. According
to Naomi, they even offered what some might take as
a veiled threat. They told her she was safe as
long as she wasn't raped or killed.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
It's quite the caveat.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Her stated goal is to obtain a US citizenship down
the road. She's invoked American values of free speech and
the Maga movement as part of her narrative. She filed
Intersection two O eight of the US Immigration and Nationalities Act,
saying that she fears imprisonment or physical harm if returned
to Germany. Her application will go through the US Asylum
adjudication interview, potential evidentiary review, and ultimately a decision. The
(21:40):
case may set an important precedent establishing America as a
safe haven for Western conservatives seeking refuge when it no
longer is found in Europe. Naomi Zeiped is a political
commentator and journalist for Deutsch lend career and she joins
US now. Naomi, welcome to the show we wanted to
hear why you believe you're entitled to asylum in the
(22:00):
United States.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Thank you so much for having me on and for
giving me this chance to speak, because freedom of speech
is not a thing in Germany anymore, and it hasn't
been for a long time. I am politically persecuted by
the government. I have confirmation that I have been under
government surveillance since at least around twenty nineteen. I've received
many death threats from Antifa, which is correctly classified as
(22:26):
a terrorist organization in America under President Trump. But the
police didn't do anything to help me because they told
me as long as I'm not actually raped or hurt
or killed, there's nothing they can do about it. At
the same time, many people in Germany who make posts
where they criticize the government, they receive house rates. The
(22:46):
police come to their door and take their phones away
and then completely intimidate them with no prior trial.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
When was the moment when you most feared for your
life during the surveillance.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
It became very apparent for me in twenty nineteen, when
I just started out and I was just nineteen years old,
that I was dealing with something very serious, and I
didn't have any security options, especially when I started receiving
all these death threats and media harassment, which amplified these threats.
But then last year twenty twenty four, when I started
(23:24):
becoming more internationally recognized, especially for interacting with Elon Musk
in public because both of us were supporting the AfD party,
that's when the death threats got amplified. And then it
got even worse because I found out that I had
been spied on Bidominan intelligence. Some of my friends and
mine by association, phone calls had been intercepted, and multiple
(23:46):
of my friends were sentenced to either jail or probation
for posting memes for criticizing the government.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
The government has acknowledged that they have indeed engaged in
surveillance of the ABIA. We've covered that on this program.
Do you think the government actually wants people in Germany
to do physical harm to people associated with AfD.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
I honestly believe that that's the case, because they're not
doing anything against Antifa and they know that these threats
are extremely real. They are essentially using the Antifa people
as soldiers against AfD supporters. Yes, even those who just
vote for the AfD, So many Germans are scared to
speak up online because they know that they might be next.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
There will be those who watch this interview and say
this activity occurred in twenty nineteen. It's quite a long
time later. If this was such a prescient threat, Why
did you not seek asylum previously?
Speaker 8 (24:48):
For two reasons, I didn't have the option because I
didn't have this kind of reach yet. I was very
naive and I was still very young, so I didn't
quite understand the extent of the surveillance that I was
put on now. And I was extremely ill. I was
honestly deathly ill back in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty,
so there was no way for me to escape, and
I have to step out of the spotlight. For a
long time, they thought that they could get me, they
(25:11):
thought they could destroy me. And then last year, when
I started becoming more internationally recognized again, that's when I knew,
this time it's much bigger than it was back in
twenty twenty, and this time they will not stop. They
will do anything they can to actually arrest me because
they understand the threat level for the German state.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
And if indeed you are granted political asylum in the
United States. What precedent do you think that sets for
other conservatives who feel increasingly persecuted by governments in Europe.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
Today I spoke with the amazing Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna
and she guaranteed me that she will prioritize this case,
and she asked me to provide a lot of evidence
of other Germans being persecuted. And then also the German
state media, whom we pay taxes for, they continue to
defame the American government, the Trump administration. They called Stephen
(26:02):
Miller a Nazi, and they even defamed Charlie Kak and
lied about him. So we want to take this very seriously,
and we want to confront the German government and the
German state media and amplify the voice of AfD members
and supporters. So this is going to have far reaching consequences.
The government has no idea what's coming for them.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
It is strange when we hear the allegation that Stephen
Miller is a Nazi. He's Jewish, so if he's a Nazi,
he's terrible at it. The next steps in this process
that you are expecting are what as you pursue your
asylum claim.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
I did apply for asylum the completely normal route, because
I want to go about this as just another asylum seeker.
But then Annapolina Luna, she offered me a help and she,
I believe, is going to expedite the process, which I
am extremely grateful for because just knowing that myself and
possibly my family receive official government protection from the United
(26:58):
States government, that's going to make it much easier for
me to speak up about the total totalitarian state of
the German government and what led to all of this,
because it didn't start now, It started back when Angela
Merkel was our chancellor. That's when the Conservative Party got
hijacked and something changed entirely.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You are the first German to make an asylum claim
like this that I'm aware of. If indeed it's granted,
how many more Germans do you think would follow that
precedent and would seek asylum here in the United States.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
My aim is to represent all Germans because I want
to give them back their freedom, and my aim is
to fight so that these Germans don't have to flee,
so that they can stay in their home country and
actually re establish German patriotism. But I do believe that
we will see these kinds of cases skyrocketing, and there
will be more Germans who will be seeking asylum. But
(27:56):
I hope that we can protect as many people as
possible in Ja while they're there, and by setting this precedent,
this will intimidate the German government to stop pursuing these people.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Do you feel any guilt that you've left and don't
want to go back now? Do you feel any guilt
for those who are still there fighting against this tyrannical.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Government, less so because of the other Germans, Because I
am actually doing this, not to run away. I could
have applied for a journalism visa if I just wanted
to stay in the United States. I genuinely fear for
my life in Germany, and I want to be able
to keep speaking up. If I have to stop talking
online altogether about what's going on, that's not going to
(28:37):
help the German people. And I left Germany with a
very heavy heart, especially because of my family, because I'm
not going to be able to see my family anytime
very soon. And I think about my grandma because there's
a very good chance that I'm not going to be
able to see her again. And I didn't see her
just before I left Germany, because I didn't anticipate any
of this, but I know that she supports me, that
(28:57):
my family supports me, and all my friends and colleague,
and I'm just hoping that we can start or rather
amplify this movement that we have created already.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
It certainly does seem to be a rising movement, and
we will follow this case very closely. Naomi Zip, thank

Speaker 1 (31:48):
There's an election on Tuesday, and we head to the
campaign trail in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The election there
will be for governor, Lieutenant governor, and Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
People are already voting.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
The races are on national attention, part because Democrat Attorney
General candidate Jay Jones texted that he wanted the children
of his political opponent killed. We wonder if the revenge
killing of children is acceptable to for Virginia voters, and
we sure hope it isn't. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has
done an admirable job. He leaves now due to term limits.
So will Virginia continue down a path of parental empowerment
(32:22):
and medical freedom or will the Democrats, with their self proclaimed.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Bloodlust be rewarded?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Joining us now Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia,
John Reid. So, John, we're in the final stretch of
the campaign. How are you feeling about the interactions you're
having with voters.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
Oh, people are finally paying attention. I've kind of been
waiting for this moment, and fortunately for us, bad for Virginia.
But fortunately for us, the Democrats aren't backing away from
really the bad decisions they've been making. You know, they
are trying to overturn the will of the people of
Virginia and give the politicians the power to draw their
own strict lines. Again, Virginians have already said no to that,
(33:03):
and I don't think they like the idea that the
Democrats don't respect them. They pulled win some seers, our
current lieutenant governor who's running for governor, off the campaign
trail so that she can't actually engage with voters. I
think that's a big problem that people are going to resent.
It's kind of dirty, dirty play here in the last
(33:23):
couple of days. As for me, I'm really enjoying continuing
my tour around the state. We've put on almost three
hundred miles on the car today alone, Shaking hands with folks,
giving speeches with people. This is what I've been doing
for months, and we've got the answers economically and culturally
that I think people will embrace. I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
The Democrat candidate for Attorney General really set the world
on fire with some explosive tweets wishing physical harm to
the children of a political rival. I'm wondering how much
is this affecting the entire Democrat ticket that they didn't
replace this candidate, they didn't condemn him, They just went
on as if there wasn't this this embrace of violence.
Speaker 9 (34:07):
Yeah, it's been very, very shocking. And what's more shocking
than one person's of bad behavior and threats of violence
is that nobody in the Democrat Party in Virginia has
forced this guy off the ticket. In fact, when you
look at his campaign finance reports, they've given him almost
(34:27):
a million dollars since the text messages were discovered, which
is just stunning. The mindset that wouldn't say this is
the line that you can't cross. And I think Virginians
aren't going to tolerate it. I'm certainly making a point
of bringing it up in front of the audiences that
I'm going to, and I think decent people just aren't
(34:49):
gonna put up with it.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
There was a lot of hope within the Commonwealth when
Governor Youngkin was elected.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
He seems to have done a very good job.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
As DC was crumbled, Virginia was really getting its mojo back.
What are the features of the Youngkin legacy that you
think Democrats would undo if they got power.
Speaker 9 (35:12):
Well, the Democrats have been very clear they've not cooperated
with Glen Youngkin. They've called him a racist every chance
they get, which is absurd. I mean, he's brought a
record number of new jobs and new businesses to the Commonwealth.
And I still believe the adage which I guess the
Democrats taught us during the Clinton era, it's the economy stupid.
(35:33):
Glen Youngkin has stayed focused on bringing new jobs to Virginia.
It's one of the things that I think I can
do as an ambassador for the state if I'm Lieutenant governor.
With my experience in global international affairs and as the
former communications director at the United States Chamber of Commerce,
I know something about that too. So I think Virginians
want new jobs. They want someone who will be reasonable
(35:56):
and responsible and respectful. I think Glen Youngkin has demostrated
that even when people have slapped at him and been
unfair to him, he's been unflappable. He's not returned the
evil attitude with evil from his side of the aisle,
and I think that's what Virginians traditionally expect is a
governor and a lieutenant governor who will stay above the
(36:20):
fray and try to be strong, principled leaders. That's one
of the reasons I quit my radio program and decided
to run is I think I can do that.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
There are a lot of federal workers who call the
Commonwealth home, and we are in a shutdown right now,
and a lot of those federal workers don't always vote Republican.
They can be a part of the reliable Democrat base.
Have Democrats earned the votes of these federal workers the
way they've used them as a pawn in this broader shutdown.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
No.
Speaker 9 (36:50):
It's interesting back at the beginning of this whole cycle,
in February and March, I would go to northern Virginia
and people would say, oh, what party are you in.
I'd say republic I was a Republican. They'd cussed me out. Seriously.
I think there were Marines at Paris Island who got
cussed out less than I did at that part of
the year. Now, though the Democrats can't have it both ways,
(37:12):
and Virginians are seeing it, you can't say that this
is hurting Virginia's economy and hurting the people of Virginia.
If you're a Democrat senator like the two we have,
and then cross the street, go into the Capitol and
vote to keep the government closed, you just can't get
away with it.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
People aren't stupid.
Speaker 9 (37:30):
They see what's happening, and they hear us talking about
it on the campaign trail, and I think they're growing
in confidence that will be the legitimate leaders who will
put the people of Virginia first, not the politics first.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Several months ago, Democrats were very confident that they were
going to flip the commonwealth back. They thought they had
recruited an exceptional slate of candidates, they thought the wind
was at their back. And now if you see Republicans
overperform in Virginia on Tuesday, it's going to be because
of bad candidates like Jay Jones, who had no business
running a statewide and it will be this bad shutdown strategy,
(38:06):
which really, unfortunately is hurting a lot of federal workers
who deserve a governor and lieutenant governor who will actually
fight for them and keep them in their jobs, not
play games with them. There are a lot of different
races that we'll be watching on Tuesday. I don't think
there's a single candidate who's been on the road talking
to voters more. I'll give you the last word, John Reid,
(38:26):
what's the favorite interaction you've had with a voter in
Virginia Having done so much of this grassroots campaigning.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
Well, what I have tried to do, and I pray
it's going to pay off, is I told the consultants
get out of my office. I'm going to college campuses,
I'm going to high schools. I'm going to talk to students,
young people, because it shows that you respect them when
you show up to talk to them, when you treat
them like young adults, when you discuss important issues with
(38:56):
them and act like you actually value therein put which
I do. And guess what they go home and tell
their parents. This guy who's a Republican came and spent
two hours at my school today. And I've done it
pretty consistently for the last nine months. I think the
word is out that you've got a candidate like me
who wants to engage with everybody, even if they've never
(39:18):
voted Republican before. And I've got a good feeling that's
gonna pay off.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
John Reid is running for Lieutenant governor of Virginia. He
has been laying down the shoe leather. We wish you well,
my friend. Take care and hope you can keep the
Commonwealth on the path to common sense.
Speaker 9 (39:32):
Got to keep trying hard. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Take care and coming up, there is new scientific evidence
out about marijuana and the impact that it may have
on patients with dementia. You won't want to miss this

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Every so often a scientific study comes out that makes
people stop and say, wait, could this actually work? That's
what's happened with a new clinical trial out of Brazil.
It's about Alzheimer's disease. The cruel memory stealing condition that
has touched nearly every American family in some way. For decades,
scientists have searched for something, anything, that could slow it down,
(42:25):
and now researchers may have found a small but important
ally cannabis marijuana, not the kind at a dispensary or
in a joint. This is precisely measured, and it is
in a tiny amount that wouldn't get anyone high. It's
a dose that includes a whisper of THCHC ANDCBD. These
are the two main compounds in the cannabis plant. Patients
(42:47):
between sixty and eighty years old, all diagnosed with Alzheimer's
related dementia, took that extract every day for six months.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
And here's the surprise.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
When compared with people who took a placebo, the cannabis
group actually scored higher on memory and thinking tests at
the end of the study. No wild side effects, no
mental fog, just a modest, measurable improvement in cognitive function. Now,
to be clear, this isn't a miracle or a cure.
Scientists don't see dramatic turnarounds for patients in permanent recovery,
(43:19):
but in the world of Alzheimer's. Small progress is big
news because this is the first long term, controlled study
showing that a cannabinoid treatment might genuinely help protect or
even boost brain function in older adults living with dementia.
The researchers are cautious. They say, we need bigger studies,
more follow up, and evidence before doctors start prescribing cannabis
(43:41):
extracts for Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
But they're also hopeful and hope matters. Think about it.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
For decades, Alzheimer's treatments have mostly been focused on slowing decline,
not improving clarity. Yet this little low dose extract to
the opposite. It nudged the brain toward better performance safely
and people already diagnosed. So while no one's calling it
a cure, the study gives us something precious, a reason
(44:07):
to keep pushing. It tells us that maybe, just maybe
the answers we've been looking for aren't locked away in
a lab. They're growing quietly in nature and with careful science,
honesty and hope that discovery could one day help millions
hold on to the memories that make them who they are.
Joining us now, Founder and editor in chief of the
Marijuana Herald Anthony Martinelli. Anthony, you've covered this story suggesting
(44:31):
that marijuana could be a dementia therapy.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
What struck you about the data?
Speaker 10 (44:35):
Absolutely? First off, thank you for having me on the show.
So this study is really important in my opinion for
three different reasons. One, you know, there's been hundreds of
cannabis related studies published this year, there have only been
a handful of clinical trials. Because cannabis remains a Schedule
one drug, research is difficult, so clinical trials are rare.
And this is not only just the normal clinical trial.
(44:56):
This is actually the longest, most comprehensive clinical triale in
regards to cannabinoids and how they affect Alzheimer's patients. And
it's also important in my mind because it's just another
study that shows the absurdity of keeping cannabis as a
Schedule one drug, which implies that it has no medical value.
So you know, this study in particular, you know, my
grandma passed away from Alzheimer's disease, so that's one of
(45:19):
the things that initially brought me to this. But you know,
really the fact that it's a clinical trial that shows
that cannabis has strong medical value for those of Alzheimer's disease,
and this study not only focused on CBD, but focused
on a combination of CBD and THC.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
There is something so challenging about Alzheimer's and dementia, which
which of course you know based on the impact to
your family, where you see somebody's body performing and the
mind cannot. And I don't know what has caused such
an increase in Alzheimer's and dementia. I've got my suspicion
that maybe interaction with all these environmental elements has had
a negative impact on the human body. And wouldn't it
(45:57):
be something if a plant that grows in native sure
could provide a meaningful remedy.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
What do you think are the next steps for researchers?
Speaker 10 (46:05):
So I think that you know, this was a phase
two clinical trial, and the researchers pointed out that it
would be good to have some further trials that kind
of go a little further into it. I think that
if we can get cannabis rescheduled, as hopefully will happen
soon based on what's going on with the Trump administration,
we know we're all hoping that that's something that can
move forward relatively shortly. Once that happens, I think the
(46:27):
floodgates are going to completely open. You know, The Marijuana
Herald has published at least a dozen articles this year
alone regarding how cannabis can benefit those with Alzheimer's disease,
both treating the symptoms and helping to prevent it. And
this is happening while cannabis is Schedule one. Once cannabis
is removed from Schedule one, moved to Schedule three, or
(46:48):
even descheduled completely eventually, then it really allows researchers to
delve into this in a way that they can't do now.
You know, we see clinical trials so rarely because of
the restrictions, but you know, despite Schedule one, we're still
seeing these studies that are showing just how beneficial it is.
And something like Alzheimer's disease, as you mentioned, it's really
a terrible disease. It's really a difficult disease to watch
(47:10):
anybody have, and if there is any medicine out there
that can be beneficial to them, then that's great. And
as you mentioned, this is a natural plant. So not
only do we have something that can help Alzheimer's patients,
we have something that is natural and safe. And that's
one thing that the study noted was that it was
a placebo controlled study and there was no noticeable difference
(47:31):
in secondary outcomes or adverse outcomes between those who consumed
cannabis extracts and those who consumed the placebo So, unlike
heavy pharmaceuticals that come with a bevy of side effects, cannabis,
at least the cannabis extract in the study was found
to not have any notable side effects. That the minor
side effects that were noted were, you know, nausea and dizziness,
(47:51):
but that was reported in less than ten percent of patients,
and obviously those are much less severe than pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
I've long believed that marijuana does not belong in the
list of Schedule one drugs. I sponsored bills in Congress
to reschedule cannabis, and if the Trump administration in need
does this, I think there are cures that we're not
even talking about right now that could be unlocked. You
could have an entire envelope of the Trump cures that
exist as a consequence of rescheduling. What role do you
(48:20):
think higher education institutions could have in doing that research
If rescheduling were to happen.
Speaker 10 (48:27):
I think that they would have a big role. You know,
researchers from different universities are able to Science Court sort
of find their way around the tight regulations to conduct
these types of studies. But as you mentioned, there's so
many things, so many different ailments and conditions that cannabis
could help with or even cure that we're not they're
not even able to consider at this point because of
(48:48):
the restrictions.
Speaker 6 (48:49):
So once those.
Speaker 10 (48:49):
Restrictions are moved, I believe that, you know, as I
mentioned Marijuana Herald, we've published over four hundred cannabis studies
this year alone. That's with cannabis's Schedule one. If it
can move to Schedule three, we're going to be seeing
thousands and thousands of studies over the course of just
a few years. That will really really open up the potential.
We know that cannabis helps with nausea, and we know
(49:10):
now it helps with Alzheimer's and depression and anxiety, but
there's so many other elements that I personally believe it
could help with that, as you alluded to, we just
don't know because the research isn't there. And I think
that you're going to see colleges just absolutely jump at
the opportunity to continue studying this plant in a much
deeper way once it's actually removed from Schedule one.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
Anthony Martinelli, the Marijuana Herald, thanks so much for coming
on the program and bringing the study to our attention.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Ever, President Trump has delivered a clear message grow the economy,
cut burdens, and unleash America. In that vein, the Federal
Reserve announced yesterday that it would trim its benchmark interest
rate by a.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Quarter of a percentage point.
Speaker 1 (53:09):
This moves the target range down to three point seventy
five to four percent. The decision comes after months of
White House pressure to loosen that up, so the free
market horsepower that President Trump has championed can rev again.
Borrowing gets slightly cheaper, businesses get a bit more room,
and make America great again. Vibes continue to flourish, shared
(53:30):
your own. Powell stress that another cut in December is
far from a foregone conclusion. For Republicans who favor growth,
This is a welcome nod toward more flexible market conditions.
So let's see how the economy is responding. Joining US
now American Growth and Innovation Form Board member Sam Keebler. So, Sam,
what's your reaction to today's RAID cut?
Speaker 11 (53:51):
You know, it's a prising sign and thanks for having me, Matt.
For a while, the Fed has been a little slow
to get around to interest rates, but it's nice to
see some momentum with the September cut and now the
second cut here in October.
Speaker 1 (54:03):
Do you think we got yeah, do you think we
got another ray cut this year? And if so, what
potential do you think that unlocks in the economy.
Speaker 11 (54:11):
You know, we'll see I think the whole government shutdown
is really kind of throwing a wrench into what the
FED might do. But if I were vetting man, I
would say we might see another cut.
Speaker 1 (54:22):
Yeah, I mean, one would maybe look at the shutdown
as a reason to cut rates even more than the
FED had anticipated. If we see an economic slow down
as a result of what Schumer's doing. The market did
not respond as favorably as we may have hoped. Is
that because this cut was more baked in than we
might have might have initially expected.
Speaker 11 (54:40):
I think you're exactly right, it's baked in, and you know,
I think, and going to your point of how it's
going to affect the market, I think less of Wall Street,
more main Street because small businesses right here is going
to be the most affected by this Ray cut. As
you know, SBA loans aren't going out with the government shutdown,
So this lower industry is is critical for more of
(55:01):
mainstream rather than Wall Street.
Speaker 1 (55:03):
We know that President Trump is working hard to get
the productive sectors of the economy going. Again, what impact
do you think great cuts will have on drawing in
capital investment?
Speaker 2 (55:14):
Incredible?
Speaker 11 (55:14):
I mean, especially in the healthcare industry just you know,
wilds flauted as it is. The you know, the enhanced
Obamacare subsidies expired at the end of the year. And
while you know, here at the American Growth and Innovation Forum,
we argue for you know, free market principles, you know,
in the meantime, these these cuts are going to be
huge for capital investments, especially in our healthcare space as
(55:36):
we're trying to fix the fordability issue.
Speaker 1 (55:39):
You know, we've had a number of guests on members
of Congress, people who watch the economy closely as you do,
and they say, we haven't really felt it yet. Even
in the polling, the shutdown doesn't really seem to be
presenting as prescient in the forefront of people's minds. Are
you looking at a certain duration of this shutdown where
(56:00):
it really starts to become central to the American experience
that people can't get on airplanes, that you've got forty
one million people not getting benefits and maybe even broader impacts.
Speaker 2 (56:12):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 11 (56:13):
I think you hit the nail on the head with flights, especially,
you know, with Thanksgiving coming up shortly. You know, I
have a flight tomorrow morning, and I'm concerned that. You know,
there's going to be many delays, So I think next
week will really start to feel the pain. You know,
every day America is just trying to travel and go
where they need to go. So that's really going to
heat up, I think, very very soon.
Speaker 1 (56:34):
Yeah, shutdowns over the holidays don't really have a great
energy to them. Let's hope this gets resolved before the holidays,
because if people are stuck in airports and not able
to see their loved ones, I think that may be
when Chuck Schumer indeed has to explain himself Sam Keebler
with the American growth.
Speaker 2 (56:50):
And innovation for him. Thanks so much for coming on
the program and sharing your expertise.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
