Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Katie Helper Show.

We are thrilled to be here with you today.

We have a great show for you today.

We have two amazing guests.

One of them is making his Katie Helper show debut, so huge things are going to be happening for this guest professionally. You're not going to believe it. He's not going to believe it. Before we start, though, please do, of course, like the stream. That's a free way to support the show. It's not just about ego and validation, but also it's a great way to push back on the algorithmic depression that happens on shows like these. And we want to make sure that people hear the very important voices that we are bringing on both tonight, but more generally speaking. So just give it a thumbs up, give it a like. Also subscribe. And that way you won't miss any extra streams that we do. We always stream Tuesdays at 7 p.m. But we also do these extra streams often. So this week, we're actually going to be interviewing Omar Suleiman, who is a brilliant Palestinian-American, a mom who is also, according to Israel, one of the top 10 biggest anti-Semites, which is hilarious, because he and Greta Toonbury are both on that list, and they are both above the great Nick Flentis. So I guess you have to anti-Semite herder Nick Flentis so you can get up higher on that list. That will be Thursday at 12 p.m. EST. So make sure you tune in for that. And again, to subscribe, you just hit subscribe and then you press the bell. Also, please do become Patreon supporters at patreon.com slash the Katie Helper Show.

Again, that's patreon.com slash the Katie Helper Show. That gives you access to great extra shows,

extra interviews, early release. Also, if you can do it at the $5 a month level, that's what gives

you the extra access. If you can't swing that, you can still make this show happen by

becoming a supporter at the $1 a month level. And in fact, between the first two guests, I will

be reading out the names of all of our recent Patreon supporters. And let's see if we can get any

patrons during this show so that I can read your names because I know that's a very exciting thing

for people. Okay. So I think that's all of the announcements.

And now we're just going to get into the great show that we have for you tonight.

So we are really excited to be bringing on for the first time ever,

Sharif Abdul-Kadouz, who is a journalist and editor at Dropsite News,

and a producer of the Palestine Festival of Literature

and someone who used to be for many, many years at Democracy Now, and he does great work.

Welcome to the show, Sharif.
