| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of part of the problem. I'm very excited for this one. |
| 0:13.2 | One of the cool things about doing what I do is I get to meet and talk to a lot of people |
| 0:18.6 | who I really admire, who I've learned a lot from. And today's |
| 0:22.3 | episode is a great example of that. Our guest today is Max Blumenthal, who is just one of the |
| 0:28.3 | best authors and journalists out there. I highly recommend his stuff. His book, Goliath, is one of the |
| 0:33.7 | best books I've ever read on the Israel-Palestine conflict. |
| 0:37.9 | And of course, the gray zone where he is a reporter and the founder, has done some of |
| 0:44.6 | the absolute best reporting over the last two years on the Gaza stuff, just really invaluable |

| 0:55.4 | thank you so much, Max, for taking the time and joining us. Thank you. And thanks for that warm |
| 1:00.8 | introduction. I hope I can live up to it. And thanks for all the interventions that you've made |
| 1:06.0 | since October 7th. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. There's, yeah, well, it's a wild time. So I want to get |
| 1:14.4 | into a lot of the Charlie Kirk stuff that you've been reporting on lately, but I got to ask you |
| 1:18.5 | just because I have you here, and we're recording a day earlier. The show will be coming out on |
| 1:23.0 | Monday. But today, Sunday, this morning, the prime minister of the UK announced their recognition, |
| 1:33.2 | desire to see a Palestinian state. |
| 1:36.2 | And then the government of Israel put out a statement about how they don't recognize this |
| 1:40.9 | recognition. |
| 1:41.9 | I'm just curious, because you understand this better than I do. |
| 1:47.5 | What do you think is the significance of this? |
| 1:50.4 | I mean, obviously a Palestinian state will not be, we're not about to realize that anytime soon. |
