| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Useful Idiots Monday morning where we watch the Sunday morning new show so that you do not have to. I'm Katie Helper. |
| 0:07.6 | I'm Erin Matte. Good Monday morning, everybody. Thanks so much for being here. Our website is useful idiotspodcast.com. Go there to support the show and get bonus content. It's great to start the week with you and some of the worst people on corporate TV. |
| 0:22.0 | A lot to discuss. And the most important thing I think for me to stress is that despite a so-called |
| 0:28.6 | ceasefire in Gaza, Israel continues to murder people by the dozens. We're supposed to have an end to the genocide, but yet every single day, Palestinians are |
| 0:41.3 | being killed by Israel in Gaza with U.S. support. |
| 0:44.4 | And the only thing they've backed off on was they were going to block all, they were |
| 0:48.9 | going to continue to block All-Aid, but apparently they've just announced that they're |

| 1:09.8 | Yeah. |
| 1:10.4 | Because this is contributing to genocide. |
| 1:12.6 | Sure. |
| 1:13.2 | Destroying, you know, group in part or in whole. |
| 1:16.7 | And as, you know, we covered this on the interview from last week with Craig McIber and Moon Robani. |
| 1:24.9 | But, you know, as Francesca Albanese says, a ceasefire means |
| 1:29.8 | Israel fires and Palestinians ceased. Exactly right. And there's a long history. It's basically |
| 1:36.9 | every single agreement going back, I don't know, until like 1948 that Israel is made. |
| 1:43.4 | They just ignore it ultimately. |
| 1:45.7 | Ehud Barak, the former Israeli Foreign Minister, he has a line that Finkelstein often quotes |
| 1:50.0 | where he says like in some cabinet meeting, this is over a decade ago. |
