Summary
1. Lindsey Graham on Russian Interference and Obama
- Senator Lindsey Graham appears on Meet the Press expressing anger over alleged media misinformation and the Obama administration’s handling of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
- He suggests new evidence has emerged, possibly warranting a special counsel investigation.
- Graham criticizes the media (e.g., Washington Post, New York Times, NBC) for their role in promoting the Russia-Trump collusion narrative.
- He clarifies he is not accusing Obama of treason but calls for an investigation into the origins of the intelligence narrative.
2. Obama Phone Program and Fraud
- The segment revisits the "Obama phone" program, originally part of the Lifeline initiative to provide phones to low-income individuals.
- It highlights a recent case where a Florida CEO, Isa Asad, was sentenced to prison and fined $128 million for defrauding the program.
- The host uses this to argue that the program was a form of vote-buying and rife with corruption.
3. Media Misrepresentation of Gaza Crisis
- Ben criticizes The New York Times for publishing a photo of a malnourished Palestinian child, claiming it was misleading.
- The child reportedly had a pre-existing medical condition, and the photo was used to suggest Israel was starving Gaza civilians.
- Ben accuses the media of spreading anti-Semitic propaganda and failing to correct the narrative transparently.
