  Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Well here on the Alex Garrett Podcast Network.
• 0:13
  I hope you enjoyed my conversation with both Brennan Doman, the man behind
• 0:20
  the Strangers Project. I always think there are two Brandon's taking NYC by storm
• 0:25
  every day, Brandon Sinon the Humans of New York and Brandon Doman of the
• 0:30
  Strangers Project bringing that all the way from Michigan. So very cool to find
• 0:36
  out at a bit more about that, and of course Derek Cook and knowing
• 0:40
  about Derek's bags during Spina Bifida Awareness Month, so you can listen to that
• 0:45
  in the link below. The engagement has made more radio rounds. Heritage of
• 0:51
  Faith and WMCA made mention of it, and very thankful and blessed to have
• 0:57
  their support, as well as doctor Williams and my Health lead once again Nick
• 1:03
  Tomorrow and even legal lowdown with Imron and Sorry and abk Law and I found
• 1:08
  out Arthur I Dalla also made a mention, Look, I never intended to
• 1:14
  have a radio type engagement, but I guess that's what's happens when you're in
• 1:17
  the media. And our reminder this as much, if not more Gabrielle's engagement
• 1:23
  as much as mine, and I wanted that to be known right here on
• 1:26
  the show. I also wanted to be known that there are a couple things
• 1:30
  that have been on my mind. Obviously, the loss of Matthew Perry has
• 1:34
  been devastating for nineties kids and people who loved him as an actor, as
• 1:41
  a person, loved his charisma on the on the screen. Wasn't some movies
• 1:47
  as well over the years, But Man fifty four, that's just tragic drowning.
• 1:53
  I'm sure there's more to come about that, but I want to get
• 1:57
  to one big issue this week, and it is the fact that when you
• 2:06
  say pro Palestine, I firmly believe you do not mean the pro Palestine people.
• 2:12
  I know I've said it before, but when you say pro Palestine,
• 2:15
  I feel like you're advocating for the government to continue. And I never really
• 2:23
  understood the connection. But Hamas leads the government. So when you say pro
• 2:29
  Palestine and you say it in such a vile, clashing with the cops kind
• 2:35
  of way, you don't want peace in the Middle East. You want the
• 2:39
  eradication of more and more of the Jewish people. And I'm sick and tired
• 2:46
  of seeing the classes. I'm sick and tired that that core doesn't see how
• 2:53
  peaceful Jewish organizations have been in reaction to this horror, horrible terrorist attack on
• 3:01
  October seventh. So peaceful they've laid out Shabbat tables in the hopes of getting
• 3:07
  the two hundred plus hostages out of the Harmas grips, So peaceful that they
• 3:14
  really only do rallies and they don't really clash with the police. In fact,
• 3:19
  the police going shut down a Hasiitic funeral led by Bell Deblasio during the
• 3:27
  pandemic. All they did was organize outdoors to honor a fallen in the community,
• 3:36
  but that was shut down. Did they shut down the pro Palestinian clashes
• 3:42
  in Grand Central? Not long enough to wear a Grand Central, not quick
• 3:46
  enough. Grand Central had to be really closed for business, and delays and
• 3:53
  delays and delays. I mean to see. That broke my heart that it
• 4:00
  seems like the pro Palestinian forces have been given free reign in this city,
• 4:08
  and that's not how the Jewish people have operated. They've operated, not classroom
• 4:13
  with anybody, but simply laying out Shabbat tables in Times Square to honor those
• 4:18
  that are missing and so that's been on my mind all weekend, and I'm
• 4:25
  glad I could get that off my chest. And then there's one more thing.
• 4:30
  Did you hear what happened in to the UN this week? You know
• 4:32
  that building where supposedly it's the United Nations, Only there were two resolutions this
• 4:41
  week that condemned, that were vetoed, and those resolutions condemned to Moss.
• 4:50
  And you're telling me right now, I'm sorry, you're telling me right now
• 4:59
  that the UNNGA, when discussing aid and the hostage crisis in the Middle East
• 5:11
  this past Thursday, urged along with the United States, to delay ground invasion
• 5:18
  in Gaza, which has been going on. I hear there's a lot of
• 5:23
  media blackouts there, which is very concerning. But on Wednesday, two resolutions
• 5:30
  calling for a ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid or vetoed by the UN Security Council.
• 5:38
  The United States resolution called for a pause in fighting to allow aid access,
• 5:44
  protection of civilians, and to stop armingham Mass and other groups in the
• 5:48
  Gaza strip. That's, you know, calling for a ceasefire now is a
• 5:58
  little troublesome for me, because that shows the UN Security Council does not want
• 6:03
  Israel to defend themselves. That's kind of when you say, don't cease fire
• 6:06
  against a Hamas terrorists organization. But here's where I really get pistol. Both
• 6:15
  resolutions condemned the actions of Hamas, and that was vetoed. So I guess,
• 6:26
  in one way, okay, they don't want they don't want to cease
• 6:29
  fire, which is kind of in favor of Israel. But by the other
• 6:32
  token, they don't condemn Hamas as a body at the UN. What is
• 6:40
  going on over there in the place I live next to for the first ten
• 6:44
  years of my life. Of course we should have peace out there. Of
• 6:53
  course, the term two state solution continues to be thrown around and discussed and
• 6:58
  debated. But at a time when pro Palestine people are clashing with the cops
• 7:08
  in our own city, which has a lot of is Jewish Americans and Jewish
• 7:14
  New Yorkers here, don't you find it unsettling that a resolution trying to accomplish
• 7:25
  a couple of different fronts and gets vetoed, especially the part where they condemn
• 7:31
  a moss is not alarming to you When we're seeing quote unquote flood, which,
• 7:41
  according to my friend Freda I didn't know this. The flooding of Brooklyn
• 7:46
  and the flooding of Wall Street for Gaza, do you know what that comes
• 7:48
  from? The organizers could have named this protest anything, but they chose flood
• 7:56
  for those of you. For the flood of flood was the name of the
• 8:01
  horrifying Hamas operation on October seventh. So are you flooding for peace or for
• 8:09
  the eradication of Israel? And if you wanted to flood the streets of New
• 8:16
  York to eradicate and call for the eradication of Jewish people in a city that
• 8:24
  has many Jewish New Yorkers, I don't think you should be welcome here.
• 8:35
  There's a difference between free speech and which leading to violence but also inciting violence.
• 8:45
  Why is anybody saying that the terminology and the way they're talking and the
• 8:48
  way they're clashing is not inciting violence. The NYPD is now saying Hamas get
• 8:56
  this. Hamaskud be hiding under costumes to perform an attack at the Halloween Day
• 9:03
  parade. Now I admire their vigilance, and I agree that costume characters are
• 9:07
  always in a time like this an easy way. But I also think putting
• 9:18
  out statements like that puts fear in every New Yorker that doesn't flood the streets
• 9:26
  for the pro Palestine government. But it honestly, this whole thing has put
• 9:33
  the fear in a lot of Jewish New Yorkers. And as someone who is
• 9:39
  Jewish, I've said this to a few of my friends who are also Jewish.
• 9:46
  This role as a podcast should not be a podcast that says, oh
• 9:52
  my god, everything's ending, The world is ending, the Jewish state,
• 9:56
  the Jewish population is under the threat to the point where you can't leave your
• 10:01
  house. I don't believe that we should be afraid, as a body of
• 10:09
  Jewish New Yorkers to leave our home. That's what Ummas wants and we have
• 10:16
  to defy that every way possible. So please don't say in your homes,
• 10:26
  stay vigilant, but don't let Rumas win. Don't let the flooding win,
• 10:31
  because like nine to eleven, that's what their goal was, to defeat us
• 10:37
  entirely. And this country re bounded. This country has grew stronger during that
• 10:48
  time, and I think there're may be more pro Israel rallies, but also
• 10:56
  more speaking up and telling ju to Jewish people, hey, don't stay in
• 11:01
  your home. That's what they want you to They want you to be so
• 11:05
  afraid you can't leave you. No, we're not gonna let them paralyze us
• 11:09
  as a city, as a community, and so we should flood the streets
• 11:16
  with those Shabbat tables to counteract. And if that doesn't work, then we
• 11:24
  should just show up and show up to our jobs, show up to work,
• 11:28
  show up to wherever we're supposed to, show up to the synagogue,
• 11:33
  and show the world you're not gonna defeat us. And I think that resilience
• 11:39
  will win out over time. Am I concerned about a media blackout in Gaza?
• 11:50
  Do I want the Israeli government to be very transparent on how they're taking
• 11:54
  out Hamas? Absolutely, But this whole rhetoric is Israel shouldn't be turning out
• 12:01
  the lights. They shouldn't be doing this. They shouldn't be doing that.
• 12:07
  Where's the holding Hamas accountable for their horrord actions? And that's what this podcast
• 12:13
  will do. We will hold it Harmas accountable while also encouraging the Jewish people
• 12:20
  to be out and about on the streets of New York and to not give
• 12:28
  into the fear that those inciters are trying to do. Hundreds are being arrested,
• 12:41
  and I bet you they're not going to be under the scrutiny of a
• 12:45
  former president that was said to incite violence at the Capitol on January sixth.
• 12:54
  Whether you agree with that or not, it's a different story. But hold
• 12:58
  all of these flutters, then a flood of the streets quote unquote for Gaza.
• 13:07
  Tell the world they're incighting as well, and then we'll talk on the
