There's a book I read blanking on the name. Spy Guy from The New York Times called like Apple After Steve Jobs. And it talks. It's kind of a sad story because the point is that Apple really stopped innovating at the very highest level with new products.

The book essentially is a multi-year investigation looking at how Israel's occupation of Palestine is the longest in modern times.

And over those decades, more than half a century, Israel has developed huge amounts of tools and technologies to maintain that occupation.

So in the modern age, we're talking about drones, spyware, biometric tools, all these different methods that Israel used to control Palestinians 24/7.

But what Israel's been doing for decades, pretty much since the 1950s, so very soon after Israel's birth, is promoting and selling and marketing those tools and technologies as so-called battle tested in Palestine on Palestinians to the world.

And essentially what that means practically is that I calculated at least 140 countries, so the majority of countries on the planet, have bought some form of this technology in the last decades.

His claim is that 2020 is actually the most secure election in modern American history.

we are quote, holy crap, we're 85% there in an interview with the Daily Beast.

we wanted to show people that what we're talking about is just incremental steps from where we already are. I don't think anyone reading the first chapter can honestly say, oh, that could never happen. They have to say, holy crap, we're 85% there.

Major Garrett, who is actually quite a good reporter, he recently came out with the book called The Big Truth Upholding Democracy in the Age of the Big Lie, which is about the actual election of 2020 as in how it was administered.

His claim is that 2020 is actually the most secure election in modern American history.

What I'm saying though is that in his press tour, what he's been like recently saying is that we're quote on the brink of civil war.

And I mean, that gets bandied about a lot these days. But in particular, what he said was that we are quote, holy crap, we're 85% there in an interview with the Daily Beast.

It is Impossible to overstate the degree to which it did precisely that it has shaken an entire country And you know on a per capita basis. This is a much bigger event than 9-11 for Israelis US invaded, you know two countries reshaped the Middle East changed its own Domestic laws in the wake of 9-11 and that was with you know attackers that came from you know more than an ocean away and Here you have 20% of the population of Israel proper with citizenship Who are Palestinian and they are living right there in this country?

The book is called day in the life of Abba Salama anatomy of a Jerusalem tragedy

He had written a great book called 'A Day in the Life of Abed Salama', which is about a kind of father who's searching for a lost Palestinian boy in the West Bank and uses that narrative to write about daily life for Palestinians in the West Bank.

I'm just going to put that aside because a certain person is known to call certain people if they ever talk about her relationship. Let's just say that that's a well known fact out there in the open for anyone who works in this business.

She says that working with Kushner was like having a take your kid to work day.

Some days it felt like an extended take your kid to work day when Jared was in charge of everything and she talked about how Kushner is a very smart person whose heart is in the right place but had an out of balance all this authority and no accountability at the White House.

She talks about how Trump would just say why don't you guys just work together and cast it kind of as men brushing her aside. But really what is just confirms is she says with Kushner in particular that he every single thing he would touch he would think that he was God.

He was like she even writes this about how oh he knew so much about immigration all of a sudden oh he knew so much about the Middle East because of his Abraham of course he knew so much about criminal justice or whatever that one he might have known about because his dad was a criminal.

I'm interested in new revelations in Kelly Ann Conway's book let's put this up there on the screen Kelly Ann coming out glorifying Trump with skewing Jared Kushner and her own husband.

the past four years i spent writing this book Price Wars and also making a documentary film that went along with it and it was essentially an investigation into the tumultuous 2010s

and it has in turn caused a commodity price shock which is now being felt globally so we're now seeing high oil prices high food prices those prices are also extremely volatile and that's also feeding into inflation worldwide

absolutely so food prices in particular in many parts of the world particularly the middle east are part of a kind of social contract it's called the democracy of bread

the book is Price Wars we recommend it to all of you

Rupert is here to talk with us about how the war in Ukraine is having a major crisis in terms of the food crisis and in terms of embattled farmers.

The past four years I spent writing this book, Price Wars, and also making a documentary film that went along with it.

And it was essentially an investigation into the tumultuous 2010s, I covered everything from the global financial crisis to the Arab Spring, the war in Ukraine, the collapse in Venezuela, even the US border crisis.

What I was able to do was link each of these events to spikes in the global commodity markets, and what was even more worrying was that there was in fact a feedback loop whereby a spike in the markets would create a war, riot, revolution that would cause markets to spike, and then in turn we would have a kind of feedback loop.

The book is Price Wars, we recommend it to all of you.
