3:08 pm
which is the statement. it has been more than a couple hours that we don't have any confirmation on just to give that little bit of context here. it's hard to verify any of this on the ground right now, giving the evolving situations for the past. the 48 hours has been evolving into much more complexities. then what does really military, the timing of this a statement, a wide significant for these rated it 5 minutes or but for the vast majority palestinian people. when asked about this, just in the phase of it, 300, these of ongoing, the brutal genocide. the last across the got the relentless, bombarded mass evacuation a vi where only 14 percent of the tooth and air of the gauze. the thread is, uh, out of the evacuation orders by these really militaries, we're talking about 40000 people so far in the past 300 is a big gold, 17000 a children. there also, 17000 people are missing and buried on the rubble of 9000 women,

3:28 pm
i don't think i've ever been asked the question, so in such a horrible manner, not a rally, not a debates. this was a grilling by black journalists in chicago, invited him to that annual event. i love the black population of this country. i've done so much for the black population of this country and fuel raising protest, as you felt you shouldn't be here for giving the full. but i'm maybe future president a chance to address an audience whose votes he needs immediately. he was on the attack against is likely opponent questioning had race. i didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black. and now she wants to be known as black. so i don't know, is she indian or she black coming to hers wasn't the events. she said she couldn't make it work with his schedule since becoming the presumptive democratic presidential nominee. but she did give a response of sort spot competing in texas. and it was the same old show
3:29 pm
the divisiveness and the disrespect. leaving her allies like a potential running mates, arizona, sent as a mark kelley to go on the attack instead. well, i think those are the comments of a desperate, scared old man who is uh, over the last week, especially as been you know, have it is but kicked in by a experience prosecutor. and i think it's worth speaking of running mates trumps number 2, j. d. vance was also income pay most all week he's been told by scandals over the past comments. but he too was on the attack. a cobble harris is a phony to caterers to whatever audience is in front of her. and a lot of us, his boss back in chicago was aust events was ready to run the country from day one . a trump cons. you're voting for the president and you could have a vice president is outstanding in every way. and i think j d is i think that all of them would have been but,
3:30 pm
but you're not voting that way. you're voting for the present. you're voting for me by guy you sense donald trump was back, it is comforts. i've been speaking to a during crowd and laying out his vision of a 2nd time a rally in pennsylvania. the attacks are getting shot, but by the day, against the know many who isn't even officially a know many yet. fill of l algebra. washington. while there's only been one world record in the swimming, olympic fans will hope for foster times in the athletic. as paul reese reports from paris, a new technology could help speed things up of the spray on the shoes. the latest advance in running technology companies are now using robots to create a mold within those races. in just 3 minutes, the lightweight friction was designed to make a big difference. over a 40 to columbus american. it's aaron, the navy. blue tree. it's a shell. it's like, you know, the carters,
3:31 pm
there's nothing that will get into the info. and if you think about, if you're running a marathon in 2 hours and 2 minutes and how fast you a foot moves through the air, the devil will become a factor. the super she race has been big business since the arrival of nike vapor flies in 2016. the model that propelled elliot keep charging to an unofficial sub, to our american. and the last 4 years, what is wearing the carbon fiber plate technology broken? all right, in down to attract the world records and distances from 5000 mates as to the merits in 2 hours. when the olympic mouse and run this take to the streets of power, a handful of them will be wearing the new spray on trainers. the tools that companies spiked version for track athletes. a far cry from all competitors were a 100 years ago when the games will last held in the city. another thing to have

changed since 1924 is the truck itself. a 100 years ago in the cycles chariots of fire games, the likes of how old april holmes and direct little enjoyed success on the surface made from send. the truck for these games is made from 2 layers of rubber with manufacturers, claiming its even faster than the surface they might for the less to lympics. we think we have been able to reduce the energy loss in the athletic movement. and so i, i think that the athletes we find these to act to be more reactive. there's been just one world record in the swimming events in paris. many belief that stands the pool being shelly with the normal, creating more waves and resistance. but super shoes at the spring, a truck should deliver the most speed in the athletics. patrice elgin's era, paris. we will have more news at the top of the hour with the news hour. i'll see you then about coming up next. it's the listening post. thanks for watching bye for now.
3:33 pm
the for us a call with of insight to people around the world. this has been going on for a number of our seniors, how to do the 30 to an international perspective, to try to explain to a local audience how this could impact the lives. this is an important part of the world and how to do this very good that bringing the news to the world from here. what a difference a week makes us president joe biden's political days our number. and here comes vice president tom while i harris to take on donald trump. what's the main stream media got wrong on the bite and store what the alternative media got right? and where the american presidential election goes from here plus bangladesh che casinos, government corrects down including online blackouts and police violence to get protesters off this
3:34 pm
news. washington has never seen a week quite like it. starting on sunday, when president joe biden took himself out of the election race by tuesday, his vice president carmella harris had picked up a torch and was on the campaign trail on wednesday by the address the nation explaining his decision. the pace in which the story has on folded across the american media has left liberal commentators gasping for air. they quickly dispensed with their criticism of by force, selfishly cleaning the power and started utilizing him for a selfless change of heart. voices on the right, meanwhile, have already played the race card against comma la harris. the attempted assassination of donald trump, which happened just 2 weeks ago, suddenly seems like old news. also lost in this blizzard of developments is a realistic assessment of jo biden's,
3:35 pm
political legacy. especially the genocide that his government has effectively sponsored in garza and the blood on his hands, palestinian black. i just tried to the best way for the past to are sooner generation is as they say a week really is a long time in politics. this past week in washington felt like it went by in a fly. last sunday, 3 weeks after his debacle of a debate, joe biden tweeted out his leisure announcing he will not run again. he endorsed his voice press. comalla harris. within 48 hours, harris had the backing of power brokers like to clinton's and dozens of members of congress, one by one perspective, challenges. most of them state governors stepped to saw. the donor money was calling you making hire us
3:36 pm
a lot for the democratic nomination. and she sounded like at her 1st campaigns in the swing state of wisconsin, i took on perpetrators of all time. so hear me when i say that, i know donald trump's right. it seems that their strategy is going to be very similar to the 2020 strategy which is drawing a stark contrast between herself and donald trump. we're seeing her call out pretty pointed we his a legit sexual assault. his convictions and other allegations of corruption were also see her campaign. take this task where they're sort of brushing from off as a joke, a little bit harris's already casting herself as the prosecutor who can take down this down here. some of the excitement around her is just that she does have a very prosecutorial approach to politics. yes or no. as a senator, she was always very good in hearing with perfectly set of questions of
3:37 pm
pharmaceutical executives and of the trump administration officials to get them where she wants to go. be sure about your answer, sir. and that is exciting for democrats because they have not been confident that joe biden to speak coherently, let alone actually prosecute the case or making the argument, the voters that they should support him for another term. we're now looking at a very different split screen. when you think about the 2 nominees dealing with everything we have to do is walk if between the former president trump and president biden, it was not only a rematch, but it was 2 elderly white men compared with now former president, trump and vice president harris, who is not only younger, but she's a woman, she's a woman of color. there's also going to be a real effort to put front and center some of the issues that they feel are vulnerabilities for republicans. she had really emerged as dividing ministration,
3:38 pm
leading voice on reproductive rights. it's going to be one of the key issues for the, the harris campaign. even before comma la harris was crowned by democratic king, makes voters were getting a sneak preview on line of what her election campaign would look like. she prosecuted sex predators to use it was not a new way. parents took that approach when she tried to run against donald trump for years to capture, but was trounced in the race for the democratic nomination by jo bye. after 3 weeks of intense speculation, over the 81 year old biden's future, the democratic base and it's media proxies were instantly energized by the youngblood harris break. somebody last gives the forwarding is the fact recently raised by a comedian who usually targets his jokes at donald trump. that back in 2020 comm a lot, harris,
3:39 pm
his campaign was an absolute flaw. you can count the number of delegates. she's one of the 2020 primaries on one hand, as long as that hand has no finger more hostile voice is on the right. are going after harris for covering up for the slides in firm it to you and, and the range of the racist voters calling her. i. d. e i heart, the vice president is the future of the party here until the future. it looks kind of dim for the democrats, d, e. r stands for diversity, equality and inclusion. standards does signs to ensure a fair representation in workplaces and institutions. a practice dismissed by right, wingers as woke. it is going to be a very of we campaigned or repeatedly referring to her as a quote unquote d i higher, which is effectively new conservative code towards people of color. joe biden did not choose her based on merit. he chose her based on the same criteria of d,
3:40 pm
i that has been destroying this country. that's a message that resonates more with the republican base, but could backfire when it comes to the types of voters that could ultimately swing and election. there's also been no sense that trump, or any other republican is figured out how actually to attack us right now. this is amazing is someone who covered the 2020 democratic primary worship flounder. and essentially, the other democrats, rightly pointed out, which was a lightweight on policy. whole campaign was tactics. there was never a, this is why i'm running and yet, but we're seeing so far as republicans just consistently falling into a really contender base. we're to ask. but if you say she's not good enough, then what will you be called a racist. they had a month there for this and then to ality, and they weren't ready when it happened. numerous you later, joe barton's decision to step aside, which was so long, uncomfortable, still managed to surprise elements in the liberal media as well. many of the same

people who had pushed him to put the res weeks before i praised him lavish for finally putting the country 1st. i struck by the humility of that speech. tiers were struck by members of the liberal media brigade that has come to be known as blue mac. the democratic parties called flight version of donald trump's make america great again, bates and then you just cry. because this is somebody that you love what most of those eulogies left there was any meaningful discussion of biden's real legacy. his unbridled support in 2003 for the disastrous us led invasion of a rack, a war based on lies. and his continued backing an army of israel's genocide, a war on palestinians. in gauze, you had van jones, shedding tears on national television, talking about how i just made an inside. and he was about the position that by him
3:42 pm
was in it's many of these villages in personal accounts, about findings on or that's a good man. spill on a sword. what stands out more is there is absolutely no way to remember biden's legacy without acknowledging the role that his administration has played in allowing genocide to continue in gaza. you saw the kind of backlash he was facing from ki democratic constituencies, not just most seminary americans, young voters, black footers. it was a pretty diverse coalition saying they don't accept the administration's approach toward the war and guys and i think that that is absolutely one of the darker parts of his legacy. and when you've seen such a high civilian death, told him guys you've seen famine and widespread starvation, that's something that will continue and weigh on biden's legacy. a rapid fire developments coming out of washington have overshadow another. and these were,
3:43 pm
the story is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu trip to dc. and he's speech to con, thousands of pro palestinian that protested his address. which more than half the democratic caucus board to the law makers who were their age on what, nothing yahoo was telling, including outright lot like his denial. if it is real, is starving palestinians in gosh, this is ponder, complete nonsense coma harris chose not to attend the address, but that was mere virtue signal. since she did meet with an s and yahoo the next day, we cannot allow ourselves to become num to the suffering. and i will not be silent . joe biden literally embraced benjamin netanyahu after october 7. come on, harris is not going to do that. so if you watch right wing outlet, it's been an effort to treat this as a kind of snob or even a scandal i,
3:44 pm
she's sorry, with a mouse over as well. that's despicable. what these attacks overlook though, is it harris is largely where most americans are. she thinks that israel has a right to defend itself, but doesn't like how it's doing that. and she doesn't like benjamin netanyahu. she has been ahead of biden's. there must be an immediate cease fire. but harris has a close relationship with the, the leading pro israel lobbying group. the american is real public affairs committee and has not indicated that she will show a significant foreign policy shift in comparison with how biden has handled the departure of joe biden. from the presidential, the injection of coma la harris into have provided the democratic party width and adrenalin boost and supplied the media with a brand new narrative. but beyond that, all is really war crimes in gaza. it's just more of the say sean benjamin netanyahu
3:45 pm
in public, but meet him on the saw. expressed concern over what the israelis are doing to palestinians, but never condemn. and that does not return to the political story in the us and just a few minutes. but 1st bangladesh and a power struggle between the prime minister and protesters that has rocked the country. the unrest has calmed somewhat over the past few days, but nationwide restrictions on communications and the media remain in place. i mean, obviously, robbie has been tracking the story. the process in bangladesh began over what's commonly known as the quartet system, the we government jobs are reserved for certain classes of people. however, the youngest has grown to become about a much more fundamental issue for i'm an associate casino, her government corruption. back of the start of the month. the demonstrations were
3:46 pm
peacefully but the violence needed out to protesters ensured that even after the government climbed down on the quote, a system, the political unrest would continue. more than a 170 protesters have been killed. many by police would been given orders by the prime minister to shoot on site. another 2400 had been invested according to the press freedom group assess if he's 30 journalist. what assaulted and wounded either shot by the police or attacked by prove government comfortable testers. it's difficult to determine if those fee goes of the dead detained and disappeared are up to date. since the internet and telecommunications blackout imposed as a security measure is still logically in place. since she has seen that came to follow for the 2nd time in 2009. bonnie, this has democracy, has taken a thought of stadium done. but i've seen a government has a tight grip across institutions, including the media which has seen at besetti and dissenting voices aggressively silenced or exide in the days and weeks to come as restrictions. e,
3:47 pm
as in bangladesh, we, we know they'll get more details of what went down during the blackouts. and how likely it is that more protest auto. com. thanks me. back to the u. s. presidential race for months, even years, much of the american mainstream media down played or ignored the obvious, the unmistakable signs of jo biden's cognitive decline. after his disaster of a debate, the boat turned from many in the liberal commentary. it has been spectacular, media pundits as well as democratic donors and party big wigs all came for bite and he was never going to survive that one commentator who can honestly say he does sent it from mainstream opinion and solve this coming is junk. you group, having done a student as a host at m s n b c. he is the co creator of an online outlet the young turks use or has used his alternative news platform. to warn that sticking with biting would
3:48 pm
be disastrous. last year he even launched his own short lived bed to become the democratic candidate. he insisted he wasn't in it to win it. he was just trying to draw others into the ring that someone, anyone needed to challenge by uga, released a campaign at that focused on the us is continually support for israel. it's. we're on garza and what that support cost american voters and their families. you're gonna have to put those a fact. they don't like eggs anymore. they like eggs. but we have to set that $7.00 aside for killing palestinians. what we don't have is real $4000000000.00 here anyways. yeah. and now we're giving them another $14000000000.00. jenkins joins me now from his home studio in los angeles, california. jack, it's been a while since we've had you on listening post. it's great to have you back now. you've been warning for the best part of the year. the dividing campaign would eventually implode over the aging issue. what were you seeing that other political
3:49 pm
journalists were not? or were they seeing the same thing? you were only not saying or yeah, there's a couple of factors here. number one, i was looking at the underlying numbers. his approval rating has been in the thirty's for over a year and, and coming in the thirty's, almost never wins in the us. so i was startled that others were not making that realization, especially because he had lost hispanic voters. he had lost the young voters. these are starting developments in american politics. i think the number one reason that people don't see it is because they live in a bubble and everyone around them says owner, everything's fine. and why do they think that in washington and in mainstream media, it's because of, it's very insulting to the powerful, you know, things about them that are unfortunate, and then you might lose access. and so there are repercussions. and the last reason richard is because they don't talk to enough real people, non political people,
3:50 pm
and every time i talked talked to an apple and good person. the number one reason they were different voting for joe biden was, he's too old. it was obvious, even after biden's, historically bad performance in that debate. many of the big names in the us media still kept backing him despite the all the signs that you're talking about. what is this story exposed to americans about the behavior of their mainstream news outlets that the nile, the delusion that we're getting. yeah, it is a bit of a heart breaking a realization and i had it laid in my career very late, but most of news is not actually news. it's marketing, it's marketing for the powerful and it they have different clients. basically, fox news, those marketing for right wing 1000000000 arrows and multi national corporations. cnn, those marketing for a status quote and corporate rule. m s. nbc does it for the democratic party, and i know i was
3:51 pm
a host on m s nbc. and they told me to not criticizes democratic party, that's not real news. that's just a propaganda arm of a set of powerful people to one firm that's answered the american political lexicon recently as blue mog. now you've been using that phrase for a while to describe the democratic version of trump's make america great. again, movement both on the ground and in media outlets. what of americans learned about blue mark mag, a media outlets over the past month or so. since the debate, yeah, at the top is a donor class. they actually control pretty much everything. right underneath them is politicians, but they're not that interesting. they're just servants of the donor class. and then you know the media underneath them and the media is the marketing or for corporate rule, and they're the most powerful weapon i would say for the rich and for the donors. and, and so at the very bottom is the actual people. and those folks are often deluded
3:52 pm
red mac up blue back up. they live in a bubble where they don't, they can't see straight. so people are read back. i actually believe that donald trump, one of the last selection people in blue mega actually thought the joe biden was young and dynamic. but where did they get those opinions? they got them for media and media that is paid to be the marketing or i'm of these different groups of wealthy people. so they actually meant to deceive them and they did. let's talk about the process. you wrote this week that the democrats had a chance to electrify the country with an open convention, the most exciting dynamic process in the world to take place with various candidates, governors, senators, various members of the party, perhaps stepping forward. that's not happening, but you've also been praising comma la harris is great start to this campaign. so where do you stand now on the parties decision to effectively anoint in paris? right, so i was positive,
3:53 pm
the joe biden was going to lose and i would say things like, he has a near 0 percent chance of winning and people's at all, that's outrages. now afterwards they acknowledge. yes, even his top advisors thought he had no chance of winning. now i'm positive that an open convention is a better way to go. the reason for that is that if you test your candidates, you will see how strong they're the problem. number one problem we had with joe biden was that we didn't test them. so if we have an open q ration where they all buying for the delegates, then the strongest candidate comes out. that's definitely the best process. now having said that, couple of harris locked up a lot of these delegates, they're just pledge they haven't voted yet. issues come out of the gate very strong with a couple of savvy political moves and some really good speeches. so if she was strong enough to lock up these delegates quickly, well that shows you that she might be a good candidate. i don't have an opinion on which candidate it should be. i have an opinion that we should pick the strongest one,
3:54 pm
so we can be truck. there are so many forces at play that came together to unseat joe biden. there was that debate, there was the change in the media discussion and the donors and what role have alternative media like yours played in this? is this a moment a vindication for independent media outlets like your own? so i appreciate that question and it definitely is a and we had a swarm of yours come to us after by and dropped out saying you were right. and a lot of folks said, look, i doubted you, because i'm hearing different things. i'm hearing something from cnn m s m c that i'm not hearing from you. and one of our viewers said, look, i try to introduce my parents to but it was so jarring because what you're saying is so true is so different than what they're hearing from main stream media. that it takes them all a little time to adjust. but i think the independent media here was great leave
3:55 pm
indicated i feel terrific about it because it's not just that we're doing real news is. so we're able to break even our own bubble. and again, if you don't live here in america, it's hard to understand how over whelming the propaganda is. so if you just say normal rational things, the rest of the media attacks you with great vigor and, and, and it takes a lot to withstand though those kind of attacks and gas lighting that happens perpetually last question for the other great divide the american media main stream versus alternative has been on the gaza. is real story biden's complicity in israel's genocide, all war cost and critical support amongst young voters, d. u for c, comma le harris, changing that policy in any significant way. cuz how else can she get those votes back to the democratic party? those young voters? yeah. so yes or no. uh, i think that she will change the rhetoric a little bit. and i think that there's some chairs, she actually in our heart,
3:56 pm
does believe that israel should light up on the palestinians. but now the heart breaking part is that no, she will not change the policy. and here the american people have already moved here. this is another giant when for independent media and social media because we broke the hypnosis that the american people were under. we talked about propaganda, marketing, information, remedial before. there is no issue that they've done that more for that on israel. and it was overwhelming and you couldn't flight that machine. but now through social media and independent independent media, we swarm them and we've changed the american electorate to opinion, especially for young voters. so that is why commerce has to change her rhetoric to try to win michigan to try to win over younger voters that the democrats desperately needs. but the donor class here is gigantic and their power is overwhelming. so, and so we have a bit of a political revolution in america where
3:57 pm
a progressive that's in my camp ways, the presidency. there is no way that they'll change their opinion on israel because they don't have an opinion. they only have checks a pac completely controls us congress. and you saw a spectacular example of that yesterday when they were all given standing ovations, over and over again to one of the worst of world criminals, in our lifetimes. gen kia, great work by you and your team at the young perks, keep it up. and once again, great to have you back on the air here at the listening post. thank. and finally, as a performative political spectacle, that was the, is rarely prime minister of speech to the us congress this past wednesday, benjamin netanyahu was the parents was bored, caught it by the democrats. presumptive nominate com while i harris, as well as roughly half of the parties congressman and when hundreds of other senators and representatives were there though,
3:58 pm
taking their seats. although they didn't use the much. a fast forward version of the speech shows american politicians giving nothing yahoo! 49 standing ovations, 49 getting up and down like yo yos for a prime minister, who faces an arrest warrant from the international criminal court for war. cross, a leader that paul say has a 72 percent disapproval rating in his own country will leave you with the rest of that video. and we'll see you next time. here with the listening on the, it's august 1st. let's go with their headlines for the americas, the heat wave in the southern us now expanding into that southeast corner of the country. but aside from the heat,
3:59 pm
let's talk about the saki month that it was in toronto for july to $115.00 millimeters of rain onto the ground. and there's more to come to kick off the month of august storms, around the midwest pushing into the great lakes. and these will be severe or capable of producing some flooding back toward the west. it's hot heat wave again for the pacific northwest portland at $37.00 degrees and some monsoon, downpours around arizona and new mexico. then we've got a tropical storm in the eastern pacific. this will become a hurricane, but it's out toward the sea. so no real major impact here. otherwise, for central america. up and down the pacific coast, we've got some pretty intense rounds of rain. south end of south america is the usual problem spots around ecuador, dark, the blue and the yellow. the more intense that rain is falling in quite the winter storm. we have coming in to southern shelly here. it's going to dump a 100 centimeters of snow over the mountain tops of the southern and is, and for santiago, this is going to be quite the rain storm for you. worst case scenario. you could
4:00 pm
see 2 months worth of rain over 48 hours and it's going to be much cooler here as well. the the, you're watching the news are live from headquarters in delphi. i'm turning it off. okay, so here's what's coming up in the next 60 minutes. the funeral begins for a talk. some of the commands are for odd. sure. good. he was killed in lebanon's capital bind is really air strike on tuesday. the is where the army says it's killed, another him, us leader 3 weeks ago. but the group didn't confirmed the military when commander's
