Summary
Hello from Ireland where we are on holiday or as Americans call it vacation. Therefore our show will look a little different this week.We are bringing you a mini Scoop as it were, no waffle cone, though. Watch this week’s episode to hear the story of the man behind the camera of one of the most viral videos depicting the latest incidence of anti-semitism in Ireland. Liran (Lio) Shoham was attacked in Dublin for being Jewish and through his bravery the world was able to see it, but until now Lio’s identity has been a mystery. You have seen the drunk throwing slaps at him on a Dublin bus and calling him a “genocidal jew,” you may even have read our Substack article (linked below) where Lio spoke out about the incident for the first time, to us. Now you get to see him and hear him tell the story of his bravery through the ordeal. We’ve been saying that Ireland is winning the race to become the most anti-Semitic country in Europe and this incident only proves our point further. Watch the Scoop this week where Lio talks about what he saw coming, and how the last people to find out… were the people of Ireland. Oh and Phelim took a little break from his holiday to go to Scotland to cover one of the most important legal cases of the decade. The Sandie Peggie Vs NHS Fife trial will hopefully be another nail in the coffin of Transgender madness that is destroying so many lives.Nurse Sandie Peggie objected to Dr Beth Upton—a biological male identifying as a woman—using the female nurses' changing rooms at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy.That’s right.A man in a female nurse’s changing room as she undressed. And she was suspended and disciplined for objecting!!

| 0:03.5 | I was like, I knew it. |
| 0:04.5 | Everyone was shocked. |
| 0:05.5 | I was like, why are you surprised? |
| 0:07.5 | This is like a movie twist from one of those cheesy movies. |
| 0:11.0 | I saw it coming a mile away, but they were like, no, I'm joined now by Liran Shawam, commonly known as Leo. |
| 0:44.8 | Leo is in Dublin, has had a very, very interesting experience on a Dublin bus, |
| 0:50.5 | an experience that is becoming all too common in Ireland. |
| 0:56.4 | And really, Ireland is known as the most anti-Semitic country in Europe. And the Irish elites, Irish politicians deny this. |
| 1:01.4 | But the facts keep mounting up. So I want to talk to Leo about his particular experience and to see |

Yeah, so I came to Dublin after that. I decided I want to pursue a law degree. I didn't get a student visa for America. Also, American colleges are very, very expensive. I said, look, it's going to be easier to study in Dublin. |
| 1:45.0 | You were in Ireland just after the coronavirus, which was before October 7, I think that was |
| 1:49.8 | 2022. And anti-Semitism, was it an issue then? Back then, no, there wasn't a lot of anti-Semitism. |
| 1:57.4 | There was definitely racism that I saw for other people, but I didn't think it would |
| 2:02.1 | apply to me. Now, having lived here for a while, having kind of ingrained myself more in culture, |
| 2:07.5 | especially working as a bouncer where I get to see people aware, let's face it, the other lowest, |
| 2:11.7 | but people go to the pubs, that's what you do. Yeah, were you aware of Ireland's reputation when |
