    Anthony Weiner on the 1947 establishment of Israel

    I asked Anthony Weiner about the 1947 creation of Israel. He recounted some history but at the very end admitted that Palestinians were displaced, claiming Israelis took any offer they could get and accepted any peace plan offered but claims the Palestinians said no. I'm still curious what authority allowed the UN to create Israel without the consent of Palestininans....

    Debating School Shootings the Day after Uvalde (Joe Piscopo Show AM-970)

    Discussion of gun violence in schools the day following the massacre at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas Call starts at 4:30 mark following a wide-ranging, unhinged rant by Piscopo invoking frequent right-wing themes about gun-grabbing, transphobia, rigged elections and leftist censorship, laying blame on Joe Biden, "Marxist" Democrats, Covid and Satan among others. In the call, I describe the predictable repetition of these copycat massacres with mentally unwell 18-year olds easily obtaining assault weapons, the role of the media in publicizing shooters' manifestos, and the effect on young students in my classroom. Piscopo seems to ponder red flag prohibitions on access to guns for "crazy" people, but continually mentions his doubts on gun restrictions because of potential civil unrest on the horizon. This is reinforced in a subsequent call at the 10:40 mark from a gun rights advocate who believes we are in the final stages of a Marxist insurrection which is "going to get really hot" and the massacres we're seeing in classrooms do not qualify as an epidemic. Followed by some final thoughts around the 13:00 mark. Originally aired on The Joe Piscopo Show AM-970 on May 25, 2022.

    Debating charter schools with Governor Patterson on "Rush Hour with Bo Snerdley"

    James Golden, the longtime producer for the Rush Limbaugh Show, dubbed "Bo Snerdley", now has his own extreme-right talk radio show on WABC 770 AM, here discussing charter schools with former NYS Governor David Patterson until I call in with a few facts, explaining just how charter schools cherrypick students from public schools in violation of the 1998 state law that created them. After cutting my audio, Patterson falsely claims the cherrypicking is no longer happening, but in fact it was just this past year Success Academy was found liable for millions in damages for discriminating against high-needs students. We also urge anyone still unsure of the way NYC charter schools rig the system to listen to this 7-part podcast series in which their former employees and parents describe the systematic exclusion of low-performing students: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/startup/v4he75
