7/25 JD Vance’s Weirdo Natalism; Netanyahu Begs For Bombs During Vile Speech w/ Zachary Foster

July 25, 2024

It’s an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Zachary Foster, historian of Palestine and proprietor of the website Palestine Nexus, to discuss Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress yesterday. First, Emma runs through updates on Biden’s passing of the torch, the mass crackdown on pro-Palestine protesters in DC yesterday, Netanyahu’s joint congressional address, falling inflation rates, labor action, Trump’s assassin, Trump’s bigotry, the destruction in the wake of southeast Asia’s Super Typhoon, and early polling on Harris, before giving a quick cheat sheet for Harris’ VP picks, and the insane “family-first” policy that JD Vance and his tech bro funders have backed in the past. Zachary Foster then joins, as he and Emma jump right into the complete shame of yesterday’s joint Congressional address by Netanyahu, before touching on some of the biggest updates on Israel’s continuing genocide of Gaza from the last few weeks as it has been pushed to the side in the news cycle. After an expansive conversation on Netanyahu’s commitment to this offensive, and the devastating impact it is having on the country’s economy and workforce, Foster explores the ongoing attempt to create a unity government between Fatah and Hamas. Zachary also gives a background on Israel’s manufactured conflict with Iran, wrapping up the interview by parsing through the highlights (or lowlights, really) from Netanyahu’s Congressional address, and his love for manipulating real issues for the Zionist cause.

And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder, as they parse through the different stances on Israel between Obama, Biden, and Harris, unpack the whiplash in the shift from Biden’s dropout to Netanyahu’s joint congressional address and Harris’ denouncement of protesters, and parse through the right wing’s struggle to stay away from weird and obviously-misogynistic critiques of Kamala Harris. They also expand on Netanyahu’s visit to Congress and photo op with Biden, and watch Peter Thiel show why he’s better as a shadowy oligarch (less public speaking), plus, your IMs!
