Dennedy Jr. [25:43] Robert talks about this Insta being shut down [30:50] Do you think it's possible that the side effects are just unintended consequences of the scientific method?

In this episode of Opposing Views, James Lindsay and Ian Kochinski, better known as Vaush, joined me to discuss Critical Race Theory. We covered a range of topics surrounding CRT, starting of course with what it is and what it’s trying to solve, where it’s being taught, the agenda behind it, and what we can do about it. But we also touch on related topics like social biases, anti-capitalism, and the idea of whiteness / the over-focus on race that’s so prevalent today. James Lindsay is an American author, mathematician, and political commentator. He is known for having co-authored a series of hoax papers for social science journals, perhaps the best-known being “The Conceptual Penis as a Social Construct” and the one where “unwanted humping” at dog parks was observed day in and day out, resulting in an informed breakdown of how men would benefit from being trained like dogs. Vaush is an American left-wing YouTuber known for his advocating libertarian market socialism. He has popular debates on his channel as well, often against other YouTubers. ———————————— Find more James Lindsay on Twitter @ConceptualJames https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames Find more Vaush on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/Vaush ———————————— Follow Me On ———————————— All Platforms: https://linktr.ee/mikhailapeterson Facebook: https://facebook.com/mikhailapete​rson Twitter: https://twitter.com/MikhailaAleksis​​ Instagram: https://instagram.com/mikhailapeterson Telegram channel: https://t.me/mikhailapeterson​​ __________ Shownotes __________ [0:00] Intro [02:40] Intro to James Lindsay [05:04] What CRT is; what it's trying to solve [08:30] "CRT is calling everything you want to control racist until you control it." - JL [08:35] Isn't C.R.T. a way to even the scales for people that have had it harder? [14:54] Are educators aware of what they are teaching? [18:12] "The ideology itself is psychopathic, so people who engage with it reproduce its psychopathy whether they are psychopaths or not." - JL [21:52] Strategic equivocation, paralogy, and the multiple meanings behind the words being used in C.R.T. [27:55] Global tyranny [28:32] Link to Opposing Views: Vaccine Passports https://youtube.com/watch?v=Plz-D9OzWlM [28:40] How far are we entrenched in CRT? Where is it being taught?

[54:00] Where C.R.T. comes from and is it just a way to get Marxism into America? [54:55] "When we talk about young people, like middle schoolers being taught critical race theory, it's kind of like saying they are being taught astrophysics because they are learning about arithmetic." - Vaush [55:45] Why is it necessary to teach this to children? [57:15] Redlining and social biases [58:43] What are the solutions? [59:13] "The goal should be total freedom for everyone. Everyone should be elevated; you never want to fix a systemic problem by dragging one group down." - Vaush [01:03:54] Is C.R.T. Marxism disguised and taking over the states? [01:04:18] Mikhaila’s problem with C.R.T. and why don’t we focus on the actual issues, instead of race? [01:08:00] Isn't it better to teach people how to overcome disadvantages instead of teaching the victim mentality? [01:11:08] The agenda of the people teaching C.R.T. [01:11:59] In regards to C.R.T. being taught in middle school. "The issue is a lot of this stuff is just, let's be real, being taught by over-earnest white progressive Karen's."

In this episode of Opposing Views, I was joined by Peter Schiff and Robert Breedlove to discuss Bitcoin. We covered a range of topics like decentralization, the US dollar, and the risks involved with cryptocurrencies becoming increasingly popular. Both guests gave their opinion on whether Bitcoin is better than gold as a value standard - a prickly question because you have to consider, among other things, market forces, security, scarcity, inflation, and the potential for a new financial crisis. Peter Schiff is an American economist, stockbroker, financial commentator, and author. He is one of the few unbiased investment advisors (not committed solely to the short side of the market) to have correctly predicted the current bear market and to have positioned his clients accordingly. He's also renowned for his accurate forecasts on the US stock market and economy, as well as the mortgage meltdown, credit crunch, and subprime debacle. Schiff is the CEO and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc. You may also recognize him as a frequent guest on national news or as the host of the Peter Schiff Show Podcast. Robert Breedlove is an ex-hedge fund manager, philosopher, podcaster, and advocate of cryptocurrencies - especially Bitcoin. He describes himself as a freedom maximalist whose mission is to "cast light on the corruption of money." Breedlove is the CEO and founder of Bitcoin consulting firm Parallax Digital. He also hosts the "What is Money?" show, where he engages in deep conversations with some of the world's most prolific thinkers.

[09:42] Is cryptocurrency partially responsible for the inflation of the US dollar? [13:02] Is there a way to make crypto a practical, spendable currency for the average person? [13:17] “The real case use for any cryptocurrency right now is as a gambling token. People don't buy it to spend it, they buy it as an investment to see it appreciate in value." - Peter Schiff [18:44] Would Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency be a viable solution for a country with an unstable fiat currency to control inflation? [24:44] Exploring the possibility of a gold standard cryptocurrency [27:50] Peter Shiff's advice for people considering Bitcoin as an investment [41:09] What value does Shiff place on the decentralized aspect of Bitcoin's construction, not needing a governing center to regulate supply through inflation [43:05] “People thought they were going to get rich off of beanie babies. Once you get in a bubble you stop seeing reality.” - Peter Schiff [46:52] Wrapping up with first guest Peter Shiff [52:12] This episode is sponsored by NordVPN, go to https://nordvpn.com/TMPP and use code TMPP for 73% off + a bonus gift! [53:51] Introducing the second guest Robert Breedlove [55:12] What Bitcoin is from Breedlove’s perspective. Is Bitcoin at a disadvantage not being a physical item like gold, which can be used for its physical properties? [01:01:23] How did we transition from gold to paper money? [01:06:53] Why does Bitcoin not need to backing by something like a gold standard? [01:09:18] History of the US gold standard in the 20th century [01:13:47] Volatility of Bitcoin, a serious problem? [01:17:37] “The complex relationship of humanity to money, this is the one lesson we keep having to learn again painfully. Every three generations we seem to forget that we can't print money to solve our problems.” - Robert Breedlove [01:18:30] What is Robert's stance on the future of Bitcoin? [01:23:18] How can people use Bitcoin effectively for real-life transactions? [01:26:25] What are the fees associated with using Bitcoin networks for transactions? [01:30:05] Robert Breedlove's opinion on the effects of inflation on the US economy in coming years [01:33:50] “Fiat Currency is a pyramid scheme. Those with access to the recently printed money first get rich at the expense of those who get it later and last.” - Robert Breedlove [01:36:32] Examining the possibility of governmental regulation of Bitcoin transactions [01:39:22] Are the beginning stages of Bitcoin really only reasonably accessible to a certain group of people? [01:42:30] How does Breedlove feel about cryptocurrencies like Ethereum?

Or the beginning of a new, more terrible stage of restrictions? [09:29] “[It’s] something like a health passport. That passport becomes the gateway to a digital I.D. that's connected to your ability to participate in society, so it’s the beginning of a social credit system" James Lindsay [11:18] The pandemic is being used to install social control" JL [13:28] What is James' response to people who believe that the social credit system is a convoluted conspiracy theory?

Change needs to start with nongovernmental sectors buying into an idea or set of rules [54:25] "How do you sleep at night?" Mikhaila Peterson. "You get really tired and then you just black out and have bad dreams" JL [54:34] Farewell to James Lindsay [58:40] Intro to Arthur Caplan [1:03:10] What’s the ethical impact of a vaccine passport? [1:03:15] "You're gonna need to have some way to prove you're vaccinated if we're gonna have freedom to travel. The biggest reason to get a vaccine passport going is because many countries are saying you can't come in here unless you are vaccinated" Arthur Caplan [01:03:57] Travel options for people who don't want to be vaccinated? [01:05:45] Addressing the concern that passports are the start of a social credit-type system [01:06:15] "In the middle of a plague, we need these vaccine passports. When the plague goes away, the passports go away" AC [01:07:00] "People are constantly saying to me that they don't want a vaccine passport because people will know where they are. You know what this cell phone does? It transmits every minute where I am to a slew of people" AC [01:08:00] What are the current COVID-19 restrictions in NYC? [01:11:59] Are there valid concerns with using a vaccine that was researched and developed so quickly?

[01:19:15] Do vaccines reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms? [01:20:52] How does natural immunity play into mandate exemptions? [01:22:55] "I think it's a three-shot vaccine" AC [01:24:00] "We were in such a hurry to get these things out there, and they worked. At least they stopped the initial wave of COVID... If the three shots give you immunity for three years, or five years, that's what you want" AC [01:25:15] Financial liability for those who partake in social situations, work, or school while knowing they’re COVID positive [01:27:15] How do vaccine passports work with privacy laws about healthcare information?

In this episode of Opposing Views, I was joined by Alex Epstein and Dr. Andrew Dessler to discuss climate change. Alex Epstein is a philosopher, author, and founder of the Center for Industrial Progress. His NYT bestseller The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels argued that human flourishing actually requires the use of fossil fuels. Dr. Andrew Dessler is a professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M. He wrote The Science and Politics of Global Climate Change: A Guide to the Debate, explaining how science is (mis)used in politics. - Find more Alex Epstein on Twitter @AlexEpstein https://twitter.com/AlexEpstein Follow Dr. Andrew Dessler on Twitter @AndrewDessler https://twitter.com/AndrewDessler or find his book Introduction to Modern Climate Change at http://andrewdessler.com ___ [0:00] Intro [04:25] Intro to Alex Epstein [05:50] Epstein's views on climate change and the impact of humans [07:15] “The current benefits of burning fossil fuels outweigh the negative side effects" Alex Epstein [09:30] Should we be transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy? [11:20] “The modern anti-fossil fuel movement that says that rising CO2 levels are an existential threat, deliberately excludes nuclear and hydro. Why is that? It's my view that this is philosophical, [that some energies are seen as more natural,] and that's why they favor certain renewables and exclude others" Epstein [12:00] “There's this idea that human impact is bad and we have to stop it, and that's a philosophical view. I think our goal should be to advance human flourishing" Epstein [14:41] On the modern environmental movement, "it's all about the morality of eliminating human impact, and not at all about actually being concerned with reliable energy" - Epstein [15:28] What caused the Texas 2021 power grid failure? [17:31] “Wind dies down when it's cold most of the time and when it's really hot and that is part of why it's a very bad source of energy" - Epstein [19:00] Is natural gas subsidised by the government? [20:29] Climate-related disaster deaths are actually down 98% in the last hundred years. So we are actually safer from climate than ever" - Epstein [22:40] What is the validity of the claim that rising CO2 levels are going to lead to more human deaths through natural disasters? [23:02] “We should only trust predictions about the future from people that acknowledge the reality of the present" - Epstein [26:10] Epstein's views on carbon taxes and who really is producing the most CO2 [28:14] Is Alex an industry plant advocate? [29:06] What impact that humans have made is worse for us and the planet so far? [32:51] ”Anybody that thinks nature is their friend hasn't seen horse flies in Canada. They shouldn’t exist—they’re huge and bite chunks out of you" Mikhaila Peterson [34:37] Wrapping up with Alex Epstein [41:32] Introducing the second guest - Dr. Andrew Dessler [42:47] Is climate change real? What are the primary causes? [43:03] “Climate change is definitely occurring, I think there's very little argument of that at this point" Dessler [44:00] “Carbon dioxide since pre-industrial (or before 1750) when humans started burning fossil fuels, has gone up [by] 40%, and that’s entirely due to human activity" Dessler [45:15] What’s the best way to stop or slow climate change? [46:37] Are green energy sources more expensive for the consumer? [48:45] “There is no reason to continue a fossil fuel economy except for the power that fossil fuel producers have in our political position" Dessler [49:20] Is nuclear power viable? [50:35] What caused the Texas 2021 power grid failures? [53:15] What about claims that carbon taxes will mostly impact the middle and lower class in America, making them less financially stable? [57:50] “There are some businesses where the very rich owners are not going to be able to recover from switching off of fossil fuels and those are the people who object" Dessler [58:00] What % of bad CO2 emissions are coming from America? Are we the bad guys in terms of CO2 produced? [01:00:15] Is renewable energy easy to store? [01:05:00] Is climate change responsible for the natural disasters in recent years? [01:10:06] What happens if we really put all our efforts behind switching to renewable energy now? [01:11:30] Climate change is no laughing matter [01:13:48] Which countries are doing the best to combat climate change? - https://skepticalscience.com/ [01:18:45] Using hydrogen fuel cells to store energy [01:20:05] Most renewable energy source? [01:21:50] Wrapping up with Dr. Dessler - https://skepticalscience.com/ [01:22:00] The question is not ‘were fossil fuels good’—of course they were. The question is what future do we want to live in?" Dessler #CO2 #ClimateChange #FossilFuels

How did it get started? [09:07] “Just between 2020 and 2021, we've hit our highest number in a year yet for deaths, which was about 90,000 related to opioid addiction” - Peter Pischke [11:02] Peter shares his personal story of addiction and recovery from opioid use [14:25] Mikhaila shares her experience with painkillers for childhood arthritis and the difficult choice between using a habit-forming drug or feeling miserable day in and day out [15:21] "It's like woah, I'm in a lot of pain, I full-on have an autoimmune disorder and there's a reason I need these pain killers, and in the moment it's the difference between being in chronic pain or sleeping but being on a pain medication that is dependency forming" - Mikhaila Peterson [15:54] Sally’s experience working at a methadone clinic in Washington DC [20:36] “Some of our patients say they can't handle this on their own and get on a replacement medication for the opioids. And this is not the right medical analogy, but metaphorically it might be like taking insulin: it's just a medication you take every day.

Did you know that, if Harvard didn’t limit enrollment, 43% of their students would be Asian American? In this episode, Mikhaila hosts Kenny Xu, author of the new book An Inconvenient Minority. Xu is likewise the President of the race-blind advocacy group Color Us United, and the host of the Inconvenient Minority podcast, where he battles elite "woke" narratives with groundbreaking discussions about race, identity, and culture that challenge the Left and the Right. Mikhaila and Kenny Xu cover the shift in incentives that have been taking place in the public education system, which Xu sees as revolving around two conflicting terms: meritocracy and critical race theory. As an Asian American, Xu’s own university experience is a testament to how a fixation on equality of outcome has led to trivializing curriculums, the cheapening of hard work, and terms as outlandish as “inclusive math.” If you enjoyed this conversation, be sure to subscribe! ———————————— Follow Kenny Xu on Twitter @kennymxu https://twitter.com/kennymxu Instagram @kennymxu https://instagram.com/kennymxu And check out his book at https://amazon.com/Inconvenient-Minority-American-Excellence-Meritocracy-ebook/dp/B08MQN8J6D Or podcast, at https://open.spotify.com/show/55ekFVCuR11ChwIj04nwgw ———————————— Follow Me On ———————————— All Platforms: https://linktr.ee/mikhailapeterson Facebook: https://facebook.com/mikhailapete​rson Twitter: https://twitter.com/MikhailaAleksis​​ Instagram: https://instagram.com/mikhailapeterson Telegram channel: https://t.me/mikhailapeterson​​ ———————————— Show Notes ———————————— [00:00] Intro [2:20] Welcoming Kenny Xu [03:15] Defining meritocracy and critical race theory (CRT). How have they entered public education in the US? [03:20] “Meritocracy is the idea that no matter your background, you should be judged based on your merits, skills, and [what] you can contribute" - Kenny Xu [04:12] “CRT subdivides people into categories of privileged or oppressed based on their race. Whites are at the top… and people of color at the bottom" - KX [06:07] “I just use Asian Americans as an example to prove it's not race [or] skin color that creates their position in society, but where they are culturally, what merit they have, and what they bring to the table" - KX [06:34] The origins of CRT [08:15] What is the end goal of CRT? What does teaching it ultimately accomplish? [09:52] “The goal of CRT is to deconstruct society and build again from the ashes" - KX [11:19] What’s CRT’s plan for our existing societal system? What are some common teachings? [13:46] What is “white adjacency”? [15:44] “The term... refers to the benefits of being white leaking onto those that act more ‘white,’ like successful Asian Americans" - KX [17:11] What were Xu's initial reactions in college as he was taught CRT? A long history of hard work, dismissed [21:33] Are there better solutions or theories than CRT? [22:12] “We need a ban on racial preferences in all colleges, schools, and universities because [they provide] all the wrong incentives" - KX [23:33] The history of race-based preference at Harvard [29:27] Xu shares his personal experience as an English major turned math major. Why race-based schooling is more racist than meritocracies [30:13] “I believe you could have just as rigorous of a philosophy curriculum in universities as a math or science curriculum. They purposely dumb down these majors because universities [care about] good graduation rates" - KX [33:21] “In an effort to be anti-racist, [CRT] actually ends up becoming racist" - KX [33:31] Poor Asian immigrants challenging the boundaries of the education system [34:51] They have “a willingness to go outside the bounds and limitations of the public education system" - KX [37:05] Has CRT made its way into almost every form of education by now? [38:47] The creation of industry to support new CRT material [38:54] What was Xu's main goal in writing An Inconvenient Minority? [42:35] China, the Soviet Union, and what happens when education follows a political agenda [46:54] What on earth is inclusive math? [51:20] How can we give young people a pathway to success?

In this episode, I spoke with men's style coach Tanner Guzy. With the focus on male fashion shifting dramatically over the last few decades, Tanner thinks a lot of men need a sense of direction, and that finding a style of one’s own is an essential part of self-expression. In Tanner’s words, there’s a need for “aesthetic literacy” that isn’t quite being fulfilled. We covered several topics related to men's fashion, such as how personality is expressed through style. We talked about suits and shoes. The changing aesthetic of Western culture and masculinity. The three archetypes of male fashion: rugged, refined, and rakish. We also went into short tangents about Guzy's personal life, his joys as a father, and his time spent as a missionary for the Church of Latter-day Saints. Tanner Guzy is a men's style coach, author, and TEDx speaker. His goal is to help boost men’s confidence and attractiveness by upping their fashion game. He is the author of The Appearance of Power: How Masculinity is Expressed Through Aesthetics.

[04:55] Are there any “absolutely-no" moments when it comes to style and fashion?

[29:00] Recommendations on good outfits for a first date [32:30] “If you ever see an older guy who is dressed like he is eighteen, it's because his wife is dressing him. Men and women have different goals when they get dressed: women are looking for youth and vitality and trendiness; men tend to dress more towards the status they have attained in life.” - Tanner Guzy [33:30] Do not dress in a way that reflects status you haven’t yet obtained [35:00] How to look good on a budget [40:30] What expensive brands are actually worth it?

Mikhaila Peterson hosts Opposing Views: COVID. This week’s guests, Dr. Joseph Mercola (@Mercola) and Dr. Jeremy Kamil, cover a variety of topics in the health world and more specifically on COVID-19. Dr Mercola discusses the origin of the COVID-19 virus, lockdown procedures, the great reset, and the vaccine - a view very different from the narrative many of us have encountered. Dr. Jeremy Kamil uses his experience in the world of researching viruses and personal experience working with COVID-19 during this pandemic to formulate conflicting views with Dr. Mercola. Dr. Joseph Mercola is an American alternative medicine proponent and osteopathic physician. He has published a number of books as well including Fat for Fuel and his newest best-selling book: The Truth About COVID-19 - available here: https://www.amazon.com/Truth-About-CO... Dr. Mercola also endorses this hydrogen peroxide nebulizing protocol here: https://www.georgekramermd.com/hydrog... Dr. Jeremy Kamil is a researcher who has studied primarily herpes viruses for the last twenty years and currently works for LSU Health. His research team was tasked to work on the COVID-19 virus by the US government early into the pandemic response in 2020.

[14:30] Dr. Mercola outlines his belief on what event 201 was and why COVID-19 was released on the general population being an engineered virus. [18:30] Dr. Mercola discusses the inconsistencies about discussing the pros and cons of the vaccine solution for COVID-19 and informed consent which is a part of every traditional medicine practice. [21:30] Alternative solutions aside from a vaccine that were not even considered as viable alternatives. [27:30] Factors behind the reported numbers of people that have died from COVID-19 [33:00] Dr. Mercola's thoughts on Google's part in spreading COVID-19 information [37:18] Dr. Mercola outlines the current downsides of getting the new COVID-19 vaccines. [40:00] What an MRNA vaccine is as that is the basis for some of the new COVID-19 vaccines. [46:00] What Dr. Mercola thinks will happen with vaccine passports. [48:30] Examining information on the studies done while preparing the vaccine for human use. [50:00] What his recommendations are for people regarding COVID-19 and vaccines.

[1:13:30] The usual death rate for old people in nursing homes of flu compared to the COVID-19 numbers we are seeing [1:17:00] What Dr. Kamil believes the proper response to this pandemic should have been? [1:20:00] Was Texas ever overwhelmed anytime during the pandemic? [1:22:30] Does the danger of lockdowns outweigh the dangers of becoming infected with COVID-19? Dr. Kamil refers to a article published in lancet journal that shows suicide rates have not increased during lockdowns as most people suspected they would [1:25:00] The theory to grab power for the elite and disempower the poor by releasing the COVID-19 virus, being commonly referred to as “The Great Reset”. [1:41:30] Mikhaila voices her concerns with lockdowns and asks Kamil to voice his opinions on lockdowns. [1:50:00] Why does COVID-19 seem to be so much worse for people with multiple health concerns compared to the healthy?

Welcome to episode 122 of the Mikhaila Peterson Podcast. This is another opposing views episode where I speak with two people who have opposing views on contentious subjects. This is my favourite format of episode and one I’ll be focusing on. In this episode, I spoke with Dan Gross and Dr. John R. Lott about gun control in America. We discussed their stances on gun control, assault weapons, the gun show loophole, and background check laws. I asked them whether states with stricter gun control have less gun violence. We also touched on straw purchasers, misconceptions regarding gun violence, and how politics has pervaded an already complicated debate—which is one of the reasons we need conversations like this one. In the first half, I sat down with Dan Gross. After his brother was wounded in the 1997 Empire State shooting, Gross left a bright career in marketing to become a gun control activist. He has since worked to raise awareness on gun safety, spearheading campaigns that teach gun owners to mitigate risk. Gross is the former president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and co-founded the Center for Gun Rights and Responsibility. In the second half, I spoke with gun rights advocate, economist, and political commentator John R. Lott. He has worked for Yale, the University of Chicago, and the U.S. Department of Justice under Trump. He is the founder and former president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC). John Lott has published op-eds in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and more. Remember please keep the comments civil - organizing these episodes is tricky and I really love doing them I think they’re so interesting so let’s keep things civil so that more people will agree to come on. Next week's episode is opposing views on Bitcoin. I hope you enjoy this episode - if you do please hit subscribe. Enjoy your week!

In this episode, Mikhaila has author and influencer from the manosphere, Rollo Tomassi, on the podcast. Rollo has used Mikhaila as an example in videos about women, including a fairly direct comparison between her and a murderer. After quite directly detailing her issues with that portrayal, Mikhaila steers into a longer conversation about Tomassi's theories on men and women—the same ones he offers in The Rational Male book series. Check out Kill to Party, the 4-hour-long video that provoked this meeting at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYO-gVaTzLs Rollo Tomassi is the author of several books, The Rational Male series being the most renowned. His data-focused views revolve around modern men and women, dating, family life, evolutionary psychology, and "red pill" theory for men.

Hey, guys!! After a few months of slightly unpleasant mold induced hiatus, I am back to one or maybe two episodes per week. I’ll be discussing what happened in a Q&A coming next week! In this episode I had the pleasure of talking to my dad about our projects (Peterson Academy), his new book, family stories, what we've learned from working in business, and more. We also spoke about Andrew Tate, which I think will eventually lead to a convo between the two of them? I hope you enjoy this!

Hey guys, this is a sensitive topic and I tried to find two knowledgeable people to speak with to just hear both sides of the “history”. It seems like the world is split on this issue in a very extreme way and I always think speaking to people on “both sides” can be beneficial. In this episode of Opposing Views, I was joined by David Brog, and Norman G. Finkelstein, both have spent much of their lives researching the history of Israel and Palestine and living in the area. This wasn’t an easy episode to make and I’m sure I missed things and could have done a better job asking questions but I did my best and there was only so much we could fit into the 2 hours. I hope it helps provide some information so you can form your own opinions. Avoiding one side of a massive argument isn’t a good idea, ever. David Brog is the president of the Edmund Burke Foundation, which hosts the annual National Conservatism conference. He’s also the Nevada Co-Chair of Term Limits USA. In 2022, he placed 2nd out of 8 candidates in the Republican primary for Nevada’s 1st congressional district. He is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School. David Brog is the author of Reclaiming Israel’s History: Roots, Rights and the Struggle for Peace (2017) - https://a.co/d/e36homB Norman G. Finkelstein received his PhD from the Princeton University Politics Department in 1987. He is the author of many books that have been translated into 60 foreign editions, including THE HOLOCAUST INDUSTRY: Reflections on the exploitation of Jewish suffering, GAZA: An inquest into its martyrdom, and most recently, I ACCUSE! Herewith a proof beyond reasonable doubt that ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda whitewashed Israel. In the year 2020, Norman Finkelstein was named the fifth most influential political scientist in the world. Finkelstein is the author of Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom (2021) - https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520318335/gaza —Follow Me— All Platforms: https://linktr.ee/mikhailapeterson Instagram: https://instagram.com/mikhailapeterson TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mikhailapeterson Website: https://mikhailapeterson.com Lion Diet: https://liondiet.com Biotoxin: https://biotoxin.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikhailapetersonpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/MikhailaFuller Instagram: https://instagram.com/mikhailapeterson TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mikhailapeterson Telegram: https://t.me/mikhailapeterson​​ —Chapters— [0:00] Intro [3:35] David Brog: What Led up to the Israel Palestine Conflict [20:28] Hamas’s Strategy to Win [30:40] Was Israel’s Gaza Blockade Justified?
