And this is the large size. That being said i cannot imagine drinking three of these things yeah that would be wild on every level i can't really imagine drinking any beverage the size like three of them which

full of sugar yeah i agree but unfortunately a lot of people i mean how many how many times you've been in the 7-eleven you see people walk out of there with double build double big gulps that are full of like full Coca-Cola. You're really too young to have been involved in

the like big gulp wars when Bloomberg was mayor of New York. Oh, well, I do remember. You remember it? Yeah. Yeah, that was the whole thing. But I mean, it's – listen, I'm much more in support of transparency and changing incentives than like outright bans I think are generally not the way to go. Unless it's like a really exceptional circumstance, but I don't know that this qualifies as an exceptional circumstance.

Certainly doesn't in my opinion. Anyway, thank you for indulging us, letting us have fun on this.

Hi. Honey, are you still in the store?

Yeah, just got the last thing on the list. Oh,

good. Okay, I just need you to pick up one more thing, please. Oh, yeah, sure. I need to whiten my teeth. Can you grab me some Lumino whitening strips? And it has to be Lumino because those are the only ones that don't give me sensitivity.

Whitening strips, whitening strips. Okay, I'm heading to that aisle. Okay, okay. Wait, I'm here. I'm not seeing Lumino.

Look for the aqua blue box with gold letters.

world Okay, aqua gold letters. All right, there it is. I got, oh wait, you mean Luminex? It's

pronounced Lumino. It's French.

Well, it looks like Luminex, but fine. I got your Lumino.

Lumino teeth whitening products have been clinically proven to whiten without temporary enamel damage associated with peroxide. For whitening without the sensitivity. That's because we use dead sea salt, coconut, and lemon peel oils. Join the 100,000 people who have given Lumino five stars. And look for the aqua blue whitening strip box with gold writing. Find Lumino in the oral care aisle of Target, Walmart, or CVS stores. Crystal,

what are you taking a look at?

Well, tell me,

name me one more nation, any other nation, that's doing as much as the United States to alleviate the pain and suffering of the people of Gaza. You can't. You just can't. The United States, through President Biden, is leading the effort to get trucks, food, water, medicine, and fuel into the people of Gaza. Wait, wait. Name another nation. Name another nation that's doing more than the United States to get hostages out or to get people, foreign nationals, out of Gaza. You can't do it. And name another nation that is doing more to urge the Israeli counterparts, our Israeli counterparts, to be as cautious and deliberate as they can be in the prosecution of their military operations. You can. The United States is at the forefront of this. That

was NSC spokesman John Kirby in one of the greatest feats of gaslighting I have literally ever seen. Positioning the U.S. as a great humanitarian savior, even as our bombs are being dropped on thousands of Palestinian babies. We are aiding and abetting a medieval siege, the worst massacre of civilians in modern history, the mass displacement of nearly the entire population of Gaza, what Nick Kristof is now calling Rwanda-level atrocities, and still have the gall to posture like we are humanity's last best hope. It is literally unreal, as in thoroughly disconnected from reality. If I spent the entire day, I could not possibly untangle all of the twisted delusions and outright lies that the U.S. has pushed in order to justify the unjustifiable and in order to wash the Biden administration's hands of the blood being spilled and chaos being sowed in Gaza and more broadly in the Middle East. But I wanted to spend a little bit of time today tackling some of the greatest absurdities being peddled from the White House and State Department podiums, taking apart the elaborate fairy tale that Biden and co. must push lest they just admit that they are dedicated to helping Israel commit war crimes. So let's start with Mr. Kirby here. He says to name one nation that is doing as much as the U.S. to alleviate the pain and suffering of the people of Gaza. As a starting point, how about literally every other member of the U.N. Security Council, all of whom voted for an immediate ceasefire and release of all hostages, save for the U.K., which abstained. The U.S. vetoed that resolution, making clear that our supposed concern for the hostages is just an empty pack of lies and our alleged concern for civilians is even more of a cruel joke. More to the point, it is the height of insanity to claim you are the humanitarian savior of Palestinians for giving a little perfunctory lip service to concerns for civilians and sending in a few aid trucks while your State Department is working feverishly to ship as many weapons and munitions as possible as fast as you can, knowing that these weapons are being used overwhelmingly to massacre Palestinian civilians. Moving on, how about we check in with the State Department? Their spokesman, Matthew Miller, is doing his absolute best to pretend that life for Palestinians in Gaza is anything but absolute hell on earth. Fresh off being rebuked as irresponsible by the IDF for suggesting that Hamas was not releasing hostages because they had been raped, Matthew Miller decided to give the residents of Gaza a little advice on how they could keep themselves and their families safe. Miller's guidance, just go to the UN designated sites.

So where should people go? People should go. Let's take it one question at a time. You asked a question, let me answer. People should go to the UN designated sites that are on Israeli lists as deconfliction zones that should not be the target of military campaigns. Now,

listen to a UNICEF official on that very same day in response to a similar question about where people should go to be safe.

There is nowhere safe. This place is not safe. Under that table is not safe. Children in that hospital is not safe. There are no bunkers here. That would offer a modicum of safety that doesn't exist.

Nowhere is safe. Matthew Miller's fantasy in which UN flag facilities offer some sort of safe harbor was also just rebuked by the Secretary General of the UN itself, who wrote in a statement, quote, the people of Gaza are being told to move like human pinballs, ricocheting between ever smaller slivers of the South without any of the basics for survival. But nowhere in Gaza is safe. At least 88 UN relief and works agency for Palestine refugees in the Near East shelters have been hit, killing over 270 people and injuring over 900. In another exchange, Miller was confronted with the actual horrors that our government is standing firmly behind. And it gets a little uncomfortable for him. This fairy tale of safe zones and humanitarian assistance collapsing. He reaches for the only other option, pleading ignorance. There was a report that Israel's assault forced the nurse to leave babies behind. They were found decomposing. Are you aware of the story?

I

am aware of that report,

Saeed. And do you take it as it happened? Or if it did happen, is that a war crime?

Saeed, I would say that is a tragedy. It's a tragedy for those babies. It's a tragedy for their family members. It's a tragedy for the Palestinian people. And it is a tragedy for the world.
