Ralph welcomes acclaimed investigative report, Jeremy Scahill of Drop Site News to give us his report on the state of the ceasefire in Gaza, why both sides tend to undercount the deaths and casualties, the nature of the October 7th assault, and the threat of a wider war with Iran.
Excellent reporting on the Gaza war that now encompasses the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen. An exact number of Palestinian dead is only an educated guess: Masses of innocent women, children, men, and old people have died. Honest reporting on October 7th?... The first casualty of war is truth. Netanyahu is like the bull in a china shop... a warmonger, narcissist, and a Jewish suprematist. I would be very worried if I was an ordinary Iranian. Depending on Trump to view the Middle East in a logical way with all of the yahoos advising him is a pipe dream. Wider war in the Middle East could easily get out of hand very quickly. On a personal note, I write from a liberal/left perspective. I have long been criticized for my support of freedom for the people of Palestine by some of my coreligionists, although I am completely secular in that regard. We’re living in an insane world...
This interview with Jeremy was, without exaggeration, jaw-dropping. I'm grateful he was on the show, Ralph. Thanks for inviting him. The contacts.that Jeremy has cultivated over the years make his reporting current, accurate & necessary.
Ralph, thank you for mentioning the conveyor belt in place for releasing some Palestinian hostages while simultaneously arresting more. This program needs to circulate widely. 👆 💪 💪 🎯 ✌ 💯 🍉
What will Putin do next ? Trump thinks and said he is playing cards but Putin is obviously playing monopoly. Does Trump have the ability and intelligence to play that game ?
Geographically Putin has all ready cut Ukraine in half straight down highway U95 from Kyiv to Odesa where he plans to ship all those minerals and grains out the sea port on the Black Sea . no trump the card player did not get the mineral deal he had planned on ,, at the last minute before the TV Zaleneskyy fiasco Putin pulled the rug out on the deal and Trump and Adolf Vance had to save face and blamed Zaleneskyy for their stupidy for falling for the Putin political ploy .
As I have said before if Trump's brains were dynamite he wouldn't have enough to blow himself up with .
Good luck America,,, it looks like your going to need it ,,?
I'm begging someone who will listen and respond: Why are Bruce Fein's drafts of articles of impeachment NOT more available? They numbered 14, but certainly more can be included, with every additional, horrible week. (Am I right, Mr. Fein?)
I have my latest issue of Capitol Hill Citizen, but -- with all due respect -- how can we grow an urgent movement around the articles if that is the only place they can be accessed? I liken it to burying one's light under a bushel basket. I believe there is a way to draw those out in a way that will also expand awareness of the Capitol Hill Citizen.
Happy Birthday Ralph Nader. I listened to ever episode of The Ralph Nader Radio Hour and this one was in my Top 10. The other show was where you mentioned the schouldice method to treat a Hernia which I believe saved many lives from going through horrible pain and maybe death.
You were also brilliant in explaing why your not a hypocrite and managed to do it in a positive way without being nasty to the person who made that disparaging remark. I look forward to hear many more shows of the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.
Jeremy Scahill is one of the top investigative journalists with Max Blumenthal, exposing all the crimes of AIPAC and the Israeli racists on his "The Grayzone": https://thegrayzone.com/
Less popular in your orbit are journalist Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger. "Racket News" is one of the better, smarter and sassier Substacks: https://www.racket.news/ Sy Hersh is always interesting, but is recovering from joint replacement surgery. I always appreciate journalistic updates of a thoroughly unbiased character, which can be hard to find. I don't imagine that the "liberal" media will be properly funded as the firings of DC workers continue; and that is another source of bias; "Capitol Citizen" and David Cay Johnston's "DC Report" are going to continue to be vexed by what appears to be a radical shift from central government.
If brains were dynamite Trump would not have enough to blow himself up with ,
So the big shot Trump gets the call from Putin just before the Trump -Zalenskyy TV show down ," You're not going to do the mineral deal with Z because I already have all the minerals on my side of the river now ,,,and you ain't getting any" .
Trump knows going into the Z TV show down,,, he's been f____ked big time ,, the Alfa male has spoken.
The best thing to do if you are a stooge is to Sh____t on the next guy in line ,,, even the little Adolf ,Mr Vance could not bail out the old geezer.
I honestly don't know if I can take 4 more years of this type of Intertainment ,, ? Get the hook ,,How about you ?
This is your favorite fan, Erik with his usual message that he enjoyed the show and is grateful. Also, I enjoyed Mr. Nader’s response to the reader, questioning his integrity: You tell them Ralph!
Also, if Steve needs a lawyer to start a class action against the Democratic Party I am the Don Quixote of all lawyers and as such would be happy to help, though, of course, we would not have a snow ball’s chance in hell of winning.
Yeah, it attests to my age that I got things mixed up. Maybe he shouldn’t hire me.
But I got an idea about getting Big Money out of politics. It is simple, forceful and won’t take much of anyone’s time or money. Just a little citizen bravery and not much of that. But to paraphrase Arlo Guthrie, if just one person does it they might think he’s “sick,” but if fifty-I say fifty people do it- then we might have a movement!
So I wonder if there’s a way to talk with you in private to see if my idea is sick. I can’t figure out this Substack on how to discuss things privately.
Try walking silently through the thousands of military craves of our beloved American Arlington military cemetery or cemeteries around the world and placing your hand softly on the top of each crave stone and saying , thank you . If you get past 10 graves without a tear you are not an American .
I remember being drafted (Army) - in 66 on my way to Nam and the doctor said I had a heart murmer, but don't worry kid , where you are going it won't make much difference. Today some of my best friends are from Vietnam.
People live and die all over the world for different causes and reasons . No matter who or when it is ,, it important we respect them for who they are and for who they might have been ..on such allowed ground it is for them to keep .
The only reason Trump eked out a win IMO was/is he was more of a peace candidate than the Dem.s. Harris was talking, when asked, about attacking Iran. So, unless he delivers peace, he undercuts his crucial support. His winning support.
Netanyahu of course, wants the U.S. to fight that war for Israel.
You are out of touch. Ralph had every right to seek the presidency. And he isn't responsible for the mess we are in, either. With that, you can't forgive someone for something they didn't do. And don't you DNC apologists LOVE George W. Bush now anyway? #hypocrite
By the way, Ralph ran in 2000. Not 2020, genius. Shows what you know.
Fuck off. You’re the one who is out of touch and you STINK of a Jill Stein voter. You’re as much to blame as MAGAts for this mess. Now run along and go fuck yourself, you pos.

Thank you, Erik, but that was actually David. I'll let him know you're available. S.

Scahill and Ralph are saying this, I think.
Remember Vietnam.
I still haven’t forgiven you for 2000. We would not be in this mess today if you hadn’t run.
