CBS Host GRILLS Netanyahu: Are You Killing People to Stay in Power?
Something to keep in mind during the current Israeli-Palestinian flare up is that not only does Hamas benefit from what's going on because they justify their existence by being on the receiving end of Israeli rockets. But Benjamin Netanyahu also justifies his position as prime minister of Israel because he can point to approximately 3,500 Hamas rockets that have been shot in the direction of his country. Netanyahu likely realizes that unless something changes, his days as prime minister are numbered, because he has been unable to form a government and is bogged down by investigations. Recently, he was recently interviewed on CBS’s “Face the Nation” by John Dickerson. And Dickerson, to his credit, went right at this idea and said essentially, “are you killing people to try to stay in power?”
Dickerson told the Israeli prime minister: “you are under investigation for bribery, fraud, breach of trust. You've also had some difficulty for failed attempts to put together a government in the last 23 months. This leads to the criticism that your current actions are basically an effort to stay in power. And what's your response to that?” This sent Netanyahu off on a long rant about he never would put politics over the safety of his people and how when he was a young soldier a fellow soldier died in his arms. But Dickerson’s points are not just idle speculation. The Associated Press reported recently that ,“Netanyahu is back in his comfortable role as ‘Mr. Security,’ and the country could soon be headed for yet another election campaign that would guarantee him at least several more months in office.” The recent flare up could quite possibly be narrowed down to yet another disgusting and cynical move by Netanyahu.
Republicans Blaming Biden for Chick-Fil-A Sauce Shortage
Republicans are seriously blaming Joe Biden for a shortage of some sauces at Chick-fil-A. The chicken chain recently announced that it was limiting how much sauce it would give customers because of an industry-wide supply chain issue, and so patrons would only get one cup of sauce per item. Radical Trumpist Congresswoman Lauren Boebert tweeted in response to the sauce shortage, “is there no limit to how awful Biden’s America can get?” Texas Senator Ted Cruz tweeted out an article of the story with a caption reading “Joe Biden is destroying America.” Finally, Oklahoma Republican Governor Kevin Stitt’s reelection campaign is claiming that “Joe Biden’s radical liberal policies” are to blame for Chick-fil-A’s sauce shortage. This seems like a joke, but it’s not. This is the path that Republicans have to go down to criticize the Biden administration, because by so many metrics the Biden team has been successful in its first four months.
From yesterday’s show:
I Don't Care If You Want to Wear a Mask Forever!
More and more Republicans are going off the wall with rage and fury over other people wanting to keep masking longer than CDC recommendations ask for. This is awfully hypocritical of the right, since they claim to be the ones who are all about individual freedom. A recent Fox News segment hosted by Tucker Carlson was dedicated to the idea that “some people want to wear their masks forever.” Now, for most people this isn’t true. Even in big cities now, masks are starting to come off, especially outside as more and more people get vaccinated. Some people will continue to wear masks because maybe they are immunosuppressed, or can’t get the vaccine, or simply have a hard time readjusting to life post-pandemic. Whatever the case may be, seeing other people wear a mask should not be enough to trigger anybody, but for some reason it does trigger Tucker Carlson and many in the Fox audience.
